Chapter 608
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
In the coconut forest by the beach, there were two group of knights wearing different uniforms that were fighting against each other .
*Clank*
The metal weapons and the arrows were making noises constantly . The knights in white uniforms had the advantage—the knights in black uniforms were losing the battle .
Strangely, the knights in black uniforms had not given up yet . They were trying their best to protect a man with red hair that was standing behind them, however, they were losing their members every minute .
One of the knights in black uniforms had a long beard and his body was surrounded by a white glow . He held the scimitar and the shield in hand tight while shouting .
"Run! Mike!" He failed to block an attack and his back was hit . The wound was coated by a thin blue glow . It seemed like the weapons used by the white uniforms were poisoned .
"Someone ahead will help you! Go now!" the man shouted again .
The man with red hair glanced at the man with a long beard for the one last time and started running . They had already repeated this process multiple times and traveled all the way to here from the Labyrinth School . He just wanted to make sure that he could bring the item in his arms back safely . It was the only valuable item he had, and he needed to trade it for the medicine that would help his family members .
Five of their family knights sacrificed themselves on the way; the man with a long beard was his best friend .
The man with red hair tried his best not to cry as he held the black pouch in his arms tightly . He turned around and started running to the forest .
"Stop him!"
The white uniforms quickly noticed what he was trying to do .
The man with red hair just kept running; he'd already cast a speed spell on his legs, however, the effect was running out .
'Our family gathered all the knights and apprentices for this mission . We must bring this thing back!' This was the only thought in his mind .
The trees around him were moving backward in his sight . There was a woman with clean skin who was wearing a tight suit waiting for him in the forest ahead . She was holding two scimitars in her hands . Her long silver hair trailed over her shoulders and her blue eyes were glowing slightly . It seemed like her eyes were modified by spells .
The man with red hair sighed with relief . He threw the black pouch to the woman and fell to the ground .
"You did a great job . " The woman caught the pouch and was about to leave . However, she suddenly turned around and stared at the bush before she started walking .
A man in a long purple robe was standing by a coconut tree behind the bush quietly . The man's face was covered by a mask . He was only about ten meters away from the two, surrounded by a strange aura .
The woman had no idea when the man approached them . She was a rank 3 apprentice and a formal knight . She assumed that she could detect the threats around her, however, she did not notice that man at all .
"Who're you?" she questioned in a low voice .
"I only have a simple question . " Most of the man's face was covered but his voice was clear . "Do you know the way to the Ramsoda Empire?"
"Ramsoda? This is the Six-Ring High Tower's territory . You need to head to the southeast if you want to go to Ramsoda," the woman responded in a calm tone . It seemed like she was not worried about the white uniforms who were looking for them .
"Much appreciated . " The man nodded and turned around .
He suddenly stopped and looked at the woman in black .
"These energy waves…"
The woman's expression changed . She quickly turned around and looked to the side . A team of white uniforms appeared, and they quickly noticed her presence .
"Hurry! We found them!"
"Inform Master Fin now!"
The white uniforms charged to them and surrounded the area . They also blocked the way of the man in a purple robe .
"Labyrinth… They were the ones who put a prize on my head…" the man suddenly spoke in a cold tone . "Alright, you told me the way to Ramsoda; I'll pay you back now . "
Raising his right hand, he pressed down .
*BAM*
The ground under the white uniforms' feet collapsed and turned into black tentacles . The tentacles grabbed their feet while they were screaming .
The woman was surprised, she quickly checked the surroundings and noticed that all the white uniforms were dragged into the ground . The woman and the man with red hair were the only two left .
The man in a purple robe already disappeared into the deep forest .
Angele figured out the correct direction and thought for a while . He decided to visit the Six-Ring High Tower first and see how Isabel was doing .
He changed the direction slightly and started teleporting to the destination .
***********************
Several weeks later .
Somewhere in the Six-Ring High Tower's territory .
It was raining . A ray of red light appeared above the endless forest and small lakes that varied in shape, then rotated around the area and slowly landed by a lake . A man in a long purple robe appeared after the red light faded away . It was Angele, who did not rest for one second while traveling .
Angele raised his head and looked at the tall white towers . There were wizards flying in the sky .
'It has been years, but their defensive system didn't change at all…'
Shaking his head, Angele stopped looking . He started heading to the forest in the front .
Some metal fences appeared ahead and there was an iron gate in the front . A sign was standing by the iron gate; the engraving on the sign said "Isabel" .
Angele inhaled deeply; the chilling air was quite refreshing . He walked to the iron gate slowly and knocked on it several times .
*Knock Knock*
The iron gate made some strange noises . Blue light flashed on the iron gate, and Angele heard a female voice coming from the gate .
"This is Isabel Family's territory . Who're you and why are you here?"
"I'm here to visit Miss Golan Isabel . I'm her mother's student and I'm here to talk to my teacher . " Angele already did his research before he got here .
After Isabel left her family, the war against the merfolk started . A lot of wizard organizations lost many wizards during the war—like Isabel's grandmother, who died in the battle . Isabel's family was almost eliminated . She decided to return to the family and rebuild everything . Several hundred years later, she renamed the family as Isabel Family as she was the one who contributed the most .
She took many apprentices into the family and single-handedly rebuilt it . She passed away after her lover from the White Tooth Castle died . Isabel selected one of her cousins to be the leader of the family before she passed away .
Angele visited Isabel Family because he wanted to see the last thing Isabel left to this world .
"Miss Isabel's student, you must be a formal wizard . Please wait here . I'll inform Miss Lina now . "
The blue light faded away as the woman finished her words .
Angele was not in a hurry . He just stood there and waited quietly .
Several minutes later, a light energy wave scanned his body, and the iron gate opened . An old woman with messy white hair was standing behind the gate with a cane in hand . She was observing Angele carefully .
"I'm sorry . I think I know most of my students, but for some reason…" the old woman looked confused .
"I look familiar but you don't know my name?" Angele smiled; the invisible energy waves he released were affecting all the creatures in the area .
"Yeah . I'm sorry . My mother has too many students, so… I'm getting old and I'm forgetting things . Please follow me . I live here alone . " The old woman stepped to the side and waited .
"I could be a bandit, you know . " Angele chuckled slightly .
"There's nothing valuable here . Also, you don't seem like a young man based on the energy waves you're releasing, and you have the mentality of a strong formal wizard . If you really want to break in, there'll be nothing I can do . " The old woman was supported by a maid in a white suit . They slowly walked down the stone plated path and headed to the white buildings ahead .
It was raining, but the old woman's clothes were not wet at all .
Angele followed after her and the iron gate behind slowly closed .
"May I pay my respect to Miss Isabel?" He lowered his voice and went straight to the point . "I've been traveling for years and I'm sad that I didn't have the chance to talk to her before she passed away . I returned to this place because I want to give my condolences . "
"Of course . Many of her students visited this place . You're probably hundreds of years old if I'm not mistaken . You can just call me Golan if you want . " The old woman smiled .
"Sure . Golan, did the teacher say anything to you before she passed away? Did she have any last wishes?" Angele asked as he walked .
"She didn't have many friends when she was alive . Her best friend was exploring the world when she passed away . Her last wish was to see her best friend again . Sadly, we failed to find her best friend while she was still alive . " Golan shook her head .
Angele felt a bit depressed . Isabel's last wish was probably to talk to him again .
He sighed with mixed emotions and stopped talking . He just followed after Golan and the maid quietly . They walked to a small patio behind the buildings .
The patio was surrounded by a dark fence, and there was a small gray house in front of it . There was a garden with fragrant white flowers inside on the right .
There were only some grapes on the left; the vines were quite strong . Angele could see the tiny green grapes on the vines .
"This was the last home of Miss Isabel . You can have a look . " Golan opened unlocked the entrance and stepped to the side .
Angele glanced at Golan, nodded, and stepped into the patio .
