Chapter 592 - Meeting Mara
Two hours later, Heroline’s ears twitched as she turned to speak to everyone.
“I’ve received the message that Doctor Anglo is on his way here.”
This meant they could soon set up their next plan after listening to Anglo’s “plucking”.
A while later, the wooden door of the hut squeaked as two individuals walked inside. The one walking in the front was a middle-aged wizard with short, clean-cut gray hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His clothes looked as orderly and tidy as his face. This man carried a pile of parchments clamped between two wooden folder pieces, which made him look like a teacher who was about to start his lesson.
The one behind him was an apprentice in a black robe. The others glanced at his hunched figure and no longer minded him.
“Do you have enough to commence your plucking, Doctor Anglo?” Douglas stepped up and addressed the man with glasses.
Anglo bowed to Sunders first before speaking, “Mister Radiance. No, using what I already have, it’s almost impossible to completely pluck the strings of this world.”
Angor was gazing at the outer city through a window while praying that Nausica wasn’t in there. Toby stayed with him as he prayed for Greya’s safety.
He suddenly heard footsteps approaching. He turned back and saw the apprentice in the black robe who came together with Anglo walking to him.
While Anglo and the other wizards talked, this individual stayed quiet and pretended that he did not exist.
Angor wondered what this man wanted with him. Was it another person who simply wished to establish an association with him?
The robed man spoke in a deep and old voice, “It’s been such a long time, Angor…”
Angor failed to remember anyone with such a voice who might recognize him.
When the robed man saw Angor’s doubtful look, he let out a helpless chuckle and removed his hood.
Angor froze up upon seeing the old man with a really ill look. He knew that face. Yet it seemed a little bit different from what he could remember.
Age spots, hollowed cheeks, thin and wrinkled skin that barely covered his skull…
Two years ago when Angor was still with him, the old man still looked energetic. How did a level-3 apprentice end up like this in merely two years?
“Mister Mara?” Angor called with an uncertain tone.
The man in front of him was Mara, the person who introduced him to the wizarding world. Mara came from a family clan at the Old Earth as well, which was the Morn Family. The Morn Family usually had no business with Padt Family since they possessed completely different positions, both politically and geographically.
When searching for “Morning Dew”, Mara went to Padt Manor. Following his guidance, Angor managed to step onto the path of wizardry while also obtaining an “Ice Coffin of Healing” scroll, which helped to sustain Jon’s life.
For these reasons, Angor held great gratitude toward this kind old man.
He did have plans to thank Mara properly in the future, but he never expected that the reunion would come so unexpectedly.
