'Members of the Dark Wizard Tower usually have two identities. They're the shadows in the light, so you must find yourself a cover.' Henn continued, 'The Dark Wizard Tower shouldn't have strict organization rules, so they can do whatever they want. The Dark Wizard Tower recruits assassins and asks them to collect the needed intel. Many wizards chose to accept their offer since they needed an easier way to acquire rare resources. In hindsight, it's an organization that hides in the shadows.'

'Interesting...' Angele did not expect the organization to be like what Henn had just said. 'I thought they wanted to train me as a potion master...'

'You're talented. They want you to accept the offer first, so it's understandable,' Henn responded in a light tone. 'The members of Dark Wizard Tower are everywhere in the central continent. Don't worry. The thing I want you to do for me is not related to that organization. I'll tell you what to do when the time is right.'

Angele listened to Henn's words as he talked with the man with a long beard. He wanted to learn more about the city and the organization.

"There's a division here and since you're an elite member from the west coast, someone from the council was sent here to welcome you. However, we miscalculated the date and he had to leave..." The man lowered his voice.

"So, I'll have to wait here until the next one comes?" Angele wondered.

"Yes, you need to join the next team. You can use the time to check out the city and purchase some souvenirs. The place is very unique." The man smiled.

"I don't really care." Angele shook his head. "How long will it take?"

The man answered as he wrote down something on a black crystal board. The characters would disappear every time he finished writing a word.

"14 to 15 days, I suppose."

"Is it possible to exchange for the crystal cards here?"

"Yeah, I can do that for you," the man responded right away. "I'll give you a discount if you need the service."

"Alright then, I'll exchange some crystal cards for the central continent's currency." Angele took out several crystal cards from his pouch.

The night was about to fall.

People in the arena were cheering for the fighters and people were still walking to the entrance from the square.

They were all wearing leather outfits and some of the noble-looking women were holding paper fans in hands. They were speaking Metia with a local accent and they were talking about the fight going on in the arena.

The carriages from the streets turned right, then parked on an empty ground beside the entrance.

The kids were playing around the river, giggling while chasing after each other.

Angele pushed the door open and left one of the houses beside the street. He was wearing a long white robe and he checked the time.

"It's 8 o'clock already? I need to find a place to spend the night."

He looked at the street and scanned the pedestrians using Zero. Angele narrowed his eyes and he looked surprised.

'They're all mortals? Why aren't they affected by the radiation?'

'The purification towers cleansed the area and they can prevent the mortals from being injured by the radiation energy,' Henn responded. 'You know this is not the poor west coast, right?'
