Angele followed after Ainphent and they heard people arguing before knocking on the door.
*BAM*
The wooden door on the opposite side of the house was smashed open, and a middle-aged woman was kicked out. She struggled in pain, her face turning pale.
Two strong man wearing brown leather suits walked out of the house and a tall man wearing a white bone helmet was behind them.
The helmet was made from the skull of a wolf, and the man’s face was right between the sharp teeth. It looked like a wolf that was trying to swallow his head. The man’s appearance and clothing reminded Angele of the barbarians he had read about in the books.
The man was about thirty years old with a serious look on his face, his arms toned.
”You know I’m Jerries, right? How dare you sell this fake crap to me? And you became a formal wizard not so long ago? What the f*ck is wrong with this Six Ring High Tower’s vendor?”
Angele could see the anger in the woman’s eyes, but she was severely injured, and the only thing she could do was lie on the ground.
The wizards on the street noticed the fight and gathered by the house. Some of them were trying to help, but they were stopped by their friends. Obviously, they knew who was behind these three strong men.
”Hey, it’s none of our business. They’re from the White Tooth Castle and they bring trouble everywhere. Don’t worry, Kuirman and his group will take care of them.”
Ainphent looked at Angele and his word echoed in Angele’s ears.
Ainphent knocked on the door and the brown wooden door unlocked by itself. Angele had one final glance at the three men, then followed his new acquaintance into the house.
The first thing Angele saw was a large wooden table under a window that was covered by random items.
Potion containers, crystal lamp covers, incomplete books, strange-looking black wooden pieces, and tiny statues with complicated patterns engraved on them. None of these items seemed valuable to him.
A short woman stood up from a chair behind the table, her hair a mess. She forced out a smile on her face.
”Oh, hey, Ain. I didn’t expect you to come. Long time no see.”
She walked to Ainphent and hugged him.
”My dear, Melissa. Well, we just met two days ago.”
Ainphent smiled, hugged the old woman, and patted her back.
”Why are you here? I still need some time.”
The old woman smiled.
Ainphent pointed at Angele.
”This is my friend, Green. He’s looking for the formula and materials of the Tree Killer Potion. I thought you might have some information about it.”
Angele bowed to the old woman immediately. He could sense the strong mentality the woman had. It was like standing in front of a sea of energy. He was certain that this old wizard in front of him was much stronger than master Liliana. It was the first time he had met someone that had reached Crystal stage. Also, Angele thought, she would probably have reach rank 2 sooner or later based on the ancient ranking system.
”Interesting, you’re young but I can smell blood on your hands.”
The old woman took out a pair of glasses from a pocket and put them on slowly.
”Anyways, if you’re Ainphent’s friend, I’ll help you. I owe her one.” She stopped for a second and said. ”Follow me, I need to find the notebook.”
Angele nodded.
”Thank you for your help.”
”You should thank Ain.”
Melissa turned around and walked down the stairs. There was a door at the end of the staircase.
She opened it and Angele followed her into the basement.
Random materials were piled up in the corners, Angele even saw several dolls and toys.
After about half an hour later, Melissa finally found the notebook she was looking for.
”I recorded everything related to the ancient wizards here.”
She opened the notebook and started searching for the information.
Another half an hour passed.
”Sorry, this potion you need was hard to craft even for the ancient wizards.”
Melissa put down the notebook.
”So, you don’t have it here?”
Ain was a bit surprised.
”I do have the formula, but I don’t have the materials.”
Melissa shrugged and dropped the notebook on the floor.
*Clap-clap*
Melissa clapped twice.
A small black box flew out of the item pile quickly and landed on her palm.
