Chapter 357: Krakok

Seeking truth and practical technique was a good choice for doctors, so Angor decided to leave the matter here.
He took out a leather scroll from his pocket, which showed a black snake swirling on a long rod.
“Have you seen this thing before, Doctor Sherry?”
“No… Someone’s family emblem?” Sherry tilted her head.
Angor smiled and put the scroll away. “I have one last question. Have you heard of… Pocratee?”
Sherry stared at Angor and was confused by all these strange and irrelevant questions.
“Pocratee…” She thought for a moment and felt as if she knew it. But then, she couldn’t quite catch it in her mind.
“So hostile. I just want to see who disturbed my Krakok. And dear me, who would have thought a legit apprentice has come to the city?” the man muttered to himself. “Should I get him? Speaking of legit organizations… There’s only Silent Hill around here, and I certainly don’t want to get on their bad side…
“Oof, forget it. I don’t know how to explain it to my teacher.”
The man looked at Angor in a “you’ve met your luck today” manner. “Fine, I’ll let you go. But I should warn you. Don’t, tell anyone about the Krakoks.”
The man turned away and disappeared into the street.
Angor frowned at the sudden arrival and departure of the strange individual. He decided not to go after him for now.
“What is a Krakok?”
With this question in mind, Angor walked on the soft snow as he headed toward his own house.
…
The first thing that greeted his sight was Dodoro and Trusan, who were both looking at the canals from the mansion yard.
Trusan sighed in relief when she saw Angor coming. “Dodoro wouldn’t sleep ever since you left, mister.”
Angor looked at Dodoro and quickly sensed the familiar affection in those eyes.
He shook his head and chuckled. He thought Trusan’s education would gradually remove Dodoro’s “imprinting effect”. It seemed like it didn’t work out.
“I’m okay. You can go to sleep now.”
After sending Trusan and Dodoro back into their rooms, Angor returned to thinking about the strange man he saw.
He had already noticed that he might be another apprentice; a powerful one at that. From the man’s words, it was something related to something called “Krakok”. Unfortunately, for some reason, the man decided to change whatever he had planned and left the area.
Why? And more importantly, what’s a “Krakok”?
An answer came to him the next day.
…
In the morning, Trusan began her job of teaching Dodoro in the mansion yard. Her schedule required them to wander around the suburbs today. However, since Angor asked them to stay in the mansion for some days, she changed her plan.
During their lesson, Trusan saw a small boat moving toward them from the canal. A fat, violent-looking man with a scarred eye dismounted the ship and moved toward them on hurried steps.
Trusan stopped her lesson and watched the man, who was approaching them, anxiously.
Even though she didn’t know this individual, it was so obvious that this man wasn’t a kind figure. She was afraid that someone was here to seek trouble.
However, Trusan’s concern was soon replaced by doubt.
The scarred man suddenly screamed “GHOST!” and stumbled backward. Then he kept changing directions while stepping back, which caused him to tread around the same spot instead.
“He’s gone insane?” Trusan wondered.
After failing to get away from whatever he saw, the fat man’s face went pale. With a final yelp, he fell and fainted.
