Warlock Apprentice

Angor already knew the trick. However, currently in his early stage after learning the cantrip, he had to stay fully focused at all times. Any distraction would cause the illusion to fail.

If he could use simple sound to trick someone and inject terrible terror into their mind, the effect of Melodious Illusion would grow tenfold and become deadlier. However, to achieve that, he had to learn how to manipulate the minds of people, which he still had no clue yet.

“Man… the more I get into illusions, the lesser I feel about myself in this world,” Angor sighed. “Alright, let’s get to the quests. What did you find?”

Dave passed his bone card to Angor. “Every subject is like this. Alchemy isn’t an exception.”

“Alchemy? I don’t have much problem yet,” Angor was looking at Dave’s card and only replied absent-mindedly.

Dave was terrified at Angor’s comment. However, he soon remembered that he was looking at someone with insane alchemy talent, which… explained everything.

Dave brought ten quests in total which were all about a similar difficulty as the previous ones. These new quests had about 4,500 magic crystals as their total reward.

“Mister Padt, how can I help you?”

“You know me?”

“You’ve earned yourself quite a name when you entered Brute Cavern, have you not?”

Angor remembered the day how he drew everyone’s attention in the resource distribution hall. Many random people around the bus stop already learned his name in the same day.

Besides, someone who sold information to people had to have his own sources, so Angor decided not to ask too much.

“I want the information about someone.”

“Who is it?”

“Nausica Asbel.”

The bartender pondered and took out a gold-colored booklet whose cover was decorated with a pair of eyes.

“You mean a lady who goes by the title ‘King of Blackberry’, sir?”

Angor nodded. “Can you tell me something about her?”

“Two magic crystals.” The bartender extended a hand, and Angor paid without much of a thought.

“If my intelligence’s not mistaken, this lady accepted a quest and went to the Moonfrost Passage.”

“Moonfrost Passage? She didn’t keep up her tower challenge?”

“She spent a week on the 11th floor. Judging from the result of her matches, her challenge did not go very well. It was already a miracle for her to make such an achievement by using a mere tiered alchemy weapon and several scrolls. She would need more than that to keep going. I assume she went to the passage looking for destiny.”

Angor understood Nausica’s decision. The Moonfrost Passage was connected to the Abyss Plane, where tons of monsters lurked. Many Bloodline Wizards would find bloodlines from those monsters to power up themselves. The vial of succubus blood that Saka found also came from that place.

“Is she accompanied by a boy called Sailum?”

The bartender reached out his hand again. “Two magic crystals.”

Angor complied.

“Yes.”

Dave spoke up before Angor could ask something again, “That’s it? A ‘yes’ for two crystals? Man, easy money!”

The bartender did not look up from his glass. “You’re asking for personal information, and I charge money by how many people you’re interested in. Simple as that.”

Dave wanted to protest but Angor quickly stopped him. “How are they doing now? Are they safe?”

The bartender shrugged. “I do not know about that. They went to the passage in a team one week ago. I don’t think they have run into any serious danger yet.”

So they are safe…

Angor stopped here. That was exactly what he wanted to know.
