Chapter 762 - Two Conditions
Angor spent a night weighing the situation and decided to give up on Lucas’ secret.
For one, he couldn’t afford to waste too much time on this matter. And secondly, no matter how carefully he moved, the truth-finders would notice his involvement sooner or later, which meant great risk. Meanwhile, he didn’t see any noticeable reward to go with the risk.
It was like playing riddles with someone who was very good at mixing lies with truth, and he was getting tired of it.
An obviously better choice was to return to his job and recruit apprentices before heading to his next destination as soon as possible.
With this in mind, Angor tossed Lucas’ book to a corner of his storage and continued working on Empty Ballad while waiting for the test to begin.
He came to the entrance of Ross Mansion in the early morning and saw Count Ross as well as his wife and children waiting there in their formal attires.
He wasn’t sure why these people were doing this. It was really cold outside, and the countess was using a ball gown that fully exposed her shoulders.
He immediately received lots of respectful attention when showing up. Though he wasn’t going to exchange formalities at the moment. After nodding to Count Ross to show minimal manners, he took out his drawing tools and began applying the “spirit filter” at the door, which took him 20 minutes.
“He’s indeed recruiting apprentices.” Haku “saw” what was happening using spirit feelers since she did not have eyesight.
“Just as I said.”
Jebra came to check on Angor because a strange feeling had been bugging him these days. He already started wondering what Angor’s intention was back at Yothur City.
He knew Angor had nothing to do with what they were going after because the “mysterious dimension” was about to open very soon, and Angor had no way of heading to the entrance at Devil’s Water, which was protected by Leviathan, in time. Even if Angor did, he was far from influential enough to cause any change of events.
Yet Jebra’s instinct convinced him of “visiting” Angor again. There was something in his mind that simply wouldn’t settle down until he confirmed that Angor was truly recruiting people in the city without doing anything fishy.
