Warlock Apprentice

One needed to attain a certain level for their energy reserve, physical strength, and soul quality before becoming a wizard. These were mandatory factors that couldn’t be bypassed.

Angor’s soul quality was already beyond the requirement, while his biggest weakness—his body—somehow received an unexpected boost during this exploration. He still needed more training to reach the wizard level, but it probably wouldn’t take very long.

This meant the last remaining challenge for him to go for the wizard level was his energy.

Just not long ago, becoming a real wizard was still a very distant goal that required a gods-knew-how-long time. Now that the achievement was almost within his reach, Angor suddenly felt at a loss.

However, meeting the mentioned conditions did not guarantee a successful breakthrough. He still needed knowledge and various skills for it.

None of these were urgent. Angor knew that he would get to them in due time.

Sunders’ summary regarding Angor’s newly gained bloodline didn’t look very good. In fact, the bloodline’s initial properties looked rather inferior compared to most of the low-level bloodlines.

While Angor joyfully admired his new glove, Sunders moved to check the items they took from Witch’s Town.

He discarded all the common objects into the void and gave the magic plants to Angor since he had no use for them.

The liquid left by the water beast contained rich energy that could be sold to others. Sunders gave this one to Angor as well—he didn’t really need the extra money.

As for the Bloodrose Ghoul, Sunders eliminated its soul at the Nightmare Realm, and the remaining bones couldn’t be used to extract a bloodline.

Selling the corpse might earn him 100,000 crystals or so. He considered and stored the bones as his research materials. He then left the Bloodrose vine to Angor.

The vine was a wizard-level material, so Angor could not use it yet. However, Angor had no problem accepting the gift since he heard that he could sell it for big money.

I can get money to pay my debt!

Angor did not offer to give the vine to Sunders to compensate for the bill because according to Sunders, the vine was worth more than the amount of what was due.

“Good. You took everything I gave you, including the monster corpses. This means you can bring back wizard-level items, and perhaps something even better.” Sunders smiled in satisfaction.

“Everything?” Angor frowned. “But… where is that painting?”

“Painting? What painting?”
