Chapter 346: Invitation From the Count
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Angor returned to his residence and thought it over.
The “individual with information” mentioned by Magician wasn’t here. It was a powerful and mysterious figure, who shouldn’t be an acquaintance of someone like Magician. According to Magician, ever since he began attending the gathering of supernatural beings two years ago, that mysterious man would show up every time. And each time he spoke, the other guests would learn something new.
Also, the Ring of Illusion that Magician gave Baal also came from that man.
People didn’t use their real names during the meetings. They called that man “Shadow”.
The next supernatural meeting was planned around the beginning of Month of Freezing Earth, which was almost a month away. The spot was set near Water Grasse. Magician agreed to introduce Angor to those people, on condition that Angor could provide something in return; it could either be knowledge or other useful information.
Angor didn’t agree right away. He would think about it.
As a “self-educated supernatural”, Magician also knew the value of knowledge, so he didn’t push Angor. A community gathering was the only way to obtain new knowledge for someone like them.
Someone knocked on the door at noon.
When Angor opened the door, he was surprised to find someone he didn’t know standing outside.
It was a middle-aged man, who was wearing a neat black robe. The man was obviously trying to remain calm, but his terrified expression gave him out.
“Who are you, and why are you here?” Angor asked first after the visitor remained silent for quite a while.
The visitor tried not to tremble too openly, and while he was still shivering, he spoke in the best manner he could manage.
“Sir-sir, I-I-I am the butler of Count Leonrick. Since he heard that a great wizard has visited Water Grasse, he would like to invite you to join him for a friendly talk.”
With a trembling arm, the butler handed Angor a gold-stamped invitation letter.
Angor raised an eyebrow. “Count? You mean Leonrick?”
Apart from Baal, Magician also mentioned Leonrick multiple times—furiously—and so, Angor knew well about that name.
“Yes,” the butler replied as he lowered his head.
Angor watched the man sweating badly and frowned. Am I so scary?
“I see. You can go now.”
Angor didn’t give the man a definite answer, but the butler was very glad he had finished his delivery unharmed and showed the wizard their sincerity.
After the visitor was gone, Angor opened up the letter.
Leonrick had invited him to a dinner party that was to be held the day after tomorrow. The letter explicitly mentioned that there would be no other guests.
Angor smiled at Leonrick’s smart move.
Compared to Magician, Angor was actually interested in Leonrick. He believed Leonrick to be a capable leader since Water Grasse was such a flourishing and peaceful place.
He decided to accept the invitation.
It wasn’t wise to put all bet on that “Shadow” entity. Leonrick was the leader of the city as well as the master of a clan that held power for centuries. That man had to know a lot of things.
