Chapter 864 - Tower and Shadow
Angor’s Infinite Reticence would help him get inside in no time if the entrance were only protected by some guards. But as he just saw, there was another patch of special barrier blocking the entrance. Each time someone walked through, the barrier would flicker briefly.
“Putting that aside… they sent supernaturals to guard the door?” Angor pointed to a pair of merman guards behind the barrier.
“This section was built by supernaturals from the Fey Continent,” said Brulee. “You know how Mermaid Shells sell for a lot of money, right? Many wizard clans and organizations have settlements here so that they could get those shells at the lowest price. You can consider this place as a smaller Wizard Fair.”
This made sense—Wizard Fairs usually hired supernaturals as sentries.
But this meant Angor wasn’t going to be able to sneak inside by normal means.
“So… your nice master knew this would happen and still sent me here?”
Brulee didn’t seem concerned. “She always used a plane passageway to get inside. We don’t need a pass.”
“Guessed as much.”
“Is that bloke going to buy things from here? Lucky me. This will be a big haul!”
But on second thought, those who could afford items from the Ashen Traders couldn’t be helpless apprentices who he could easily rob.
The bandit considered his options and still decided to follow Angor. He was a level-2 apprentice who almost reached the next level. He was confident that he could deal with complications.
Angor waited for a while. He made sure the bandit was coming after him and kept walking deeper inside the alley.
The end of the narrow way was occupied by a number of broken buildings, where a group of people in black robes were watching over several iron cages.
