The carriage slowly advanced into the gate, arriving at a large white square after passing through a short tunnel.

There were many guards clad in white armor patrolling the square. They were well-organized and they were holding long spears in their hands.

In the center of the square, there was a bronze mermaid statue standing there quietly. The mermaid was covered with a large piece of silky cloth. It had the body of a woman and the tail of a fish. Clean water was coming out of the small vase in her hands. The water dropped to the pool under the statues and splashed slightly.

The square was surrounded by shops with bronze signs and dark brown curtains. There were many people entering and leaving those shops, most of them were mercenaries wearing green and black outfits.

Their genders varied, but all them had scars on their bodies. They were battlefield experts.

There were also some apprentices and wizards entering the square in their carriages.

On the opposite side of the main gate, Angele saw a tall, large building that looked like a library.

The walls of the building were painted in yellow and there were three towers on top of the building. On the tips of the towers, there were small statues of different animals: the eagle, the lion, and the scorpion.

In front of the building, there was a long staircase with almost one hundred stairs. Many people were walking up and down on the stairs.

"That's the government's city hall of the Mermaid's Song. The animal statues on the top represent three different departments and schools. The eagle represents the Eagle Eye School, the lion represents the War School, and the scorpion represents the Scholar's Tower or Spell Tower. These are the major stakeholders in the Mermaid's Song and they have access to all the resources," Cruise explained.

"Where do we belong to then?" Angele was not interested.

"Of course we belong to the Scholar's Tower... the symbol is a scorpion, doesn't it remind you of something?" Cruise shook his head.

"The Scholar's Tower is related to my mother?" Angele was a bit surprised.

"That's correct. It's not only related to your mother but also your mother's teachers. We might be working here for the next several decades."

"That's way too long..." Angele pursed his lips. The carriage stopped, and he opened the door and jumped off it quickly.

Cruise followed after him, they headed directly to the city hall on the side.

　　**************************

The life in the Mermaid's Song was not what he expected.

He did not need to stay in the department all day. Angele went to the Mermaid's Song to check all the documents at the beginning of the month but he did not meet a lot of people. He decided to return to the mansion and enter the Nightmare Realm to check the situation of the two kids after all the documents were completed.

The mansion was still attacked by different mutated creatures from time to time. Angele noticed the level of those creatures was increasing and he sometimes had to fight them himself. The defense system was still holding up and the mansion was not damaged.

The studying progress of the enchantment and magic circles was slow. The biochip could help him store the information and take care of the calculations, but he still needed to learn the theory by himself.

The difficulty of the subjects was on a whole different level, it was nothing like the knowledge he learned when he was still a rank 1 wizard.

He did not spend a lot of time with the Phoenix and the shadow mercenary. The bird was too weak and he was still having trouble controlling its behavior, so Angele would only summon it when he was in the Nightmare Realm. The shadow mercenary was locked inside a room of the mansion, he had not yet found a way to test its strength.
