Chapter 313: Not Human?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With his presence reduced, Angor successfully traveled through Tree Spirit Garden and Apprentice Town 8 without arousing any attention.
He saw the crowd around his house getting bigger. Still, none of the people saw him coming.
He might increase his mana usage and make himself completely invisible. But the observers could still see him opening the gate, which could possibly give out his special item. There weren’t many cantrips that hid human bodies. Infinite Reticence was something powerful enough to trick both the eyes and spiritual detections.
Considering Angor’s level of strength, people could easily determine that he possessed a special alchemy item.
After some consideration, he decided to enter his house openly.
Before he did though, he first headed to another yard several hundred meters away from his villa.
The yard was an outdoor training ground full of tools used by Bloodline Wizards. Under the sunlight, Nausica was performing different maneuvers while carrying her knight sword in her left hand. Mana ripples were flowing about her body as they followed her movements.
Angor groaned and took back the drawing pen from the “genius painter”. “Okay, I get your idea. Past, present, and future, right? I’ll work based on it. And sorry, but I really can’t comprehend your ‘impressionism’ masterpiece.”
Nausica picked up her pipe again and lit it. “‘Kay, I’ll leave it to you.”
Since they had time, they invited Sailum and went to the Bartterfly Pub to enjoy a good meal together.
At night, Angor squeezed across dense crowds and managed to get back to his house. Nausica’s arm wasn’t an urgent matter. He planned to spend some time to arrange his things. Anything that was relatively valuable or commonly used would go into his bracelet.
His yard was protected by runes, but they wouldn’t prevent determined intruders from stealing from his house.
It was just to be safe.
When he was almost done collecting everything, including the secret stash inside his soundproof room, he took Toby and left his house again. He was soon surrounded by people. Most of them were mortals, and he couldn’t really do anything to them.
“I won’t take any orders for now. Go back.”
He cast a small-scale Acoustic Illusion, which convinced the mortals that he suddenly disappeared. However, the apprentices could easily see through the illusion.
By the time they broke the illusion nodes, Angor already activated his “isolation” effect and walked away from the crowd.
…
“He’s in Apprentice Town 1?” Angor followed Toby’s instructions and found himself walking toward the other end of the Cave Field. “You sure your little partner is here?”
As he recalled, there were only senior apprentices who were many years ahead of him living there.
Toby shook his head and pointed to the woods outside the town.
The woods were connected to a series of mountains that stretched hundreds of kilometers far. No humans would come here—there were only birds and beasts.
“Someone lives inside the mountains?” Angor asked, puzzled.
Toby nodded, then shook his head again. “Tweet, tweet!”
Angor comprehended Toby’s bird language and widened his eyes. “You mean your partner is not human? An animal? Another bird? Wait, no… It can weave clothes out of flowers and leaves, so it must be intelligent. Is it a monster?”
Toby shook head again and kept posing in different ways. Angor never managed to read anything clear again. Toby was hinting flowers, sweet smell, and flying… could it be a flower monster?
Angor gave up thinking in the end. He just needed to find out.
It wasn’t long after he walked into the vicinity of the mountains when the “isolation” effect on him started to falter.
“Someone noticed me?” Angor frowned. Did he do something that exposed his position? Or… someone just used a spell to detect him?
