Chapter 125: William Poisoned

William huffed and took a deep breath as a green light continuously fell on his body. Although it did cure him for a bit, in the end, it worsened again.

Seeing this, the cloaked figure frowned while looking around without stopping to heal William.

"Let's leave immediately, young master." The cloaked figure said silently as he took William in one hand and Angel in the other hand.

In a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot as if he wasn't there in the first place to begin with.

After he left, a man with gray hair and a pirate eye patch came with a disappointed look.

"These utter trashes couldn't even kill him even after sacrificing their life. I knew these guys shouldn't have been trusted either way; the poison has taken effect already anyway." The person muttered with a smirk.

"The poison that took down the life of Hanma, that devil, it will also take down your life as well, William. Did you think after the leader of the village protected you, you would be safe?"

The chilling laughter of his echoed in the forest.

….

The cloaked figure moved at the speed of wind itself as only afterimages were left at the place where he traveled.

However, this mighty tier two wizard was sweating right while looking at William with a nervous expression.

"I really am in trouble today because of that Noah bastard," the cloaked muttered while he was walking. "How could I let a mere wizard apprentice injure him so easily?"

"Now I need to explain it to him now."

While they were traveling, William occasionally coughed, vomiting out a mouthful of green blood, and Angel stayed silently with a concerned look at William from time to time.

"At this rate, he is powering up; I might really not be able to kill him." Angel internally thought with a frown on her face.

"Well, the poison should take care of him anyway."

Her eyes glinted. "If it doesn't work, I will have to kill him."

As the village came near finally, the cloaked figure heaved a sigh of relief; however, he didn't rest up at all, making his pace even faster before he finally entered the village and directly went to the center where the academy was.

…

In a room inside the leader's office, there were countless old men present, sitting on their stone thrones with a stern expression on their face.

Most of their hair was white because of old age, and their clothes were regals, the mere presence causing the entire room to be oppressed.

These people were all the elders of the village, and at this moment, they were invited by the leader for a meeting. Discover more at m-vlempy _r.

Although their expression was stern, their eyes glinted with a concerning look as they looked at each other silently.

As if they were talking with their eyes only in silence.

They neither spoke a word but there flickered by the second.

Suddenly, the door opened, causing everyone's attention to be drawn to a young man with casual clothing, his face filled with a friendly smile.

Everyone's eyes stopped flickering as they all stood up in respect to Noah, the village leader.

"Sit down." Noah said, still with a friendly smile, and the other sat down again.

However, the stern expression on these old fogies was no more, replaced by a grim expression.

Noah looked at everyone with his eyes narrowed to a slit before he went towards the front and sat down at the biggest throne.

The moment he sat on the throne, his smile face was no more, replaced by a ferocious expression.

"I think you guys all know why I have called you here." He said with a deep voice.

Silence!

There was no reply that came from the elder, only the silence was met with the question from Noah.

"Oh?" Noah raised his eyebrows as he thought of something. "I guess the news just came, so only I would know."

Noah nodded his head in understanding. "Unless you are the one who dared to attack my only disciple that is."

His expression turned even more twisted.

"I am assuming that all the elders here are loyal to the village, right?"

"Yes, leader." Every elder said in symphony to each other's words.

"Good, good." Noah nodded his head, however suddenly he paused before turning his head to one particular person in the room. "What about you, eighth elder?"

Instantly, the old foggie's eyes started flickering as their gazes were instantly drawn towards the eighth elder, his head was bald, and his beard was old.

"I am loyal to the village as well, leader." The eighth elder said with a smile on his face. "Sigh, I am losing my lifespan because of protecting the village. However, I will never regret the boiling blood of our ancestors' bravery as they defended our village, and their brave sacrifices still run in my veins."

He said with a fierce expression on his face.

"True, the eighth elder has done so much for our village."

Some of the other elders also voiced with a determined glint in their eyes.

Seeing this, Noah had a smile on his face. "I am not daunting you, elder. I was just concerned because of your lifespan, which was soon nearing its end. And I must say I am impressed by your dedication to the village. If we ever find a lifespan spell, you will definitely be the first one to get it."

"Thank you, leader." The eighth elder said with an obedient expression and sat down again.

"If it isn't the elder, then who could be the person that dared to set up a trap for my dear disciple? Although there was frequent sighting of the rogue wizard, they came planned this time with their preparation; unless the person is blind, anyone could see that it is a setup." Noah had an ignorant expression on his face.

"Who could it be? Who could it be?"

"Oh right," Noah suddenly said with an enlightened expression. "The landlords." His smiling face turned serious as his presence engulfed the entire room.
