Super Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 146 Aftermath and Follow-Up

After a while.

Baruba sat in the living room. Angel was holding a tube of his own ointment and gently smeared it on the hand-wound. Baruba’s expression was cold and calm from beginning to end, and he did not even frown when the alcohol-based ointment was applied to the open wound.

After applying the ointment, Baruba still wrapped his own bandage around his hand-wound.

Angel wanted to help him, but Baruba refused.

“Thank you very much. If you guys hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid… the consequences would be unpredictable.” Angel expresses his sincere thanks.

Baruba indifferently said: “No, think of it as returning your kindness.”

Baruba has been protecting Shalem and Nausica recently. But in fact, Nausica is no less powerful than him so basically, he has nothing to do. This time, he saved Angel and was able to return his favour, but Now Baruba felt he had finally paid back the favour.

Baruba was not good with words, and after he answered, he falls into silence.

This sudden attack also made Angel severely shocked. If Baruba hadn’t rescued him in time, he may have really had an accident. So even if Baruba’s human favour was “offset” because of this action. Angel’s gratitude for him had not diminished.

Ka—

Nausica, dressed in soft leather armour, opened the door of the side room and enters the living room.

“The man has died, death by suicide. He had already used a deadly poison in advance. It may have been organized by mortal assassins, but it has been determined that this was done by a transcendent person, not a mortal.” Nausica was just going to interrogate the little brother while Angel was inside with medicine while tending to Baruba’s wound: “No account of the employer, but that **** is obvious, it should be Hookedick.”

Angel nodded plainly. He had hardly offended anyone since he left home. The only two people he has feuded with are Hookedick and Forsa. But between Forsa and Angel, he’s not at the stage of being hands-on yet, so the most likely suspect is Hookedick.

“Hookedick won’t dare directly deal with you. At best, this is just a small action.” Nausica said calmly, “Otherwise, he would not be so cheap as to invite mortals to assassinate a talent.”

Angel’s heart flashed the shadow of Hookedick. Since the end of Twilight Port Town, he was not confronted with Hookedick head-on. Holding the attitude of less is more. Hookedick has also been very cautious. At most glaring behind his back with malicious eyes, but not committing to actual action.

As a result, when Angel moved out of Crypt Field. It had taken a long time before he lowered his defences. Who knew Hookedick would bite him in the back at this time.

Angel’s expression is gloomy. In this world, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against thieves. If Hookedick is not stopped, who knows what will happen next time?

“According to Shalem, Hookedick seems to be getting ready to be baptized in some soul soil by his mentor. Although I don’t know what soul soil is. But with Hookedick’s talent being in the soul system, maybe his fighting power will increase again after he comes back.” Nausica said, “So the best plan of action now is to put up with it.”

“Once you’re promoted, Hookedick won’t dare to make small actions with mortals anymore. Even if he hires other Wizard Apprentices, no one else would dare do anything to you. After all, Lord Sanders is not a good stumbling block.”

This proposal, which Angel was made aware of, was not rejected. Originally, he had the idea of not going out because he had not broken through. Now that this matter had been born. He is more aware he requires his own strength to have the ability to survive in this world.

“I see. I’ll do my best to break through with my practice in the near future.” Angel said, “There’s a protective array in my house, and no one else can break-in. Thank you very much for saving me this time.”

Nausica winked affectionately: “I just took on the defence mission of ‘Safeguarding the Peace of Apprentice Town No. 8’ and earned some contribution points.”

Angel knows Nausica chose to take on a defence mission in Apprentice Town No. 8, mostly for him. However, he did not break this facade, but just remembered this kindness in the bottom of his heart.

Nausica left with the little brother’s body and Baruba said goodbye to him. After the two left, the huge room returned to silence again.

Angel silently uttered the name “Hookedick” in his heart as his eyes twinkled.

…

Nausica took the body across the stream, found a clearing in the woods and burned it directly with fire.

As the body was turning into ash in the fire by being broken up little by little. Nausica’s attention was not here, but her thoughts returned back to Angel.

She found mental force with Angel’s suggestion, and by that time Angel was already able to manipulate mental force. Angel stayed in the same place when she was able to manipulate mental force. When she succeeded in building a preliminary framework for her mental force model and evoking magic source to advance to a First Level Apprentice. Angel had still made no progress.

This made her care.

As a matter of fact, it is not difficult to build a model with mental force. She went asking many other Wizard Apprentices, and they didn’t get stuck at this step. But why hasn’t Angel succeeded yet?

Nausica suddenly remembered she had inadvertently mentioned Angel’s case when she was asking her mentor Van Tesser for advice.

Mentor Van Tesser was not surprised at all. He just said, “Sanders has a good student.”

So… Is there something else she doesn’t know?

Or is there something wrong with Angel’s guidance method?

Nausica never told anyone that she was stunned by the idea of “immortality” in her heart. After she had become the leader in the waters of Blackberry Sea, she never worried about the cost of food or clothing. There were hundreds of sailors under her command, so she could be described as having money and power. How many people envy and yearn for such a life? But she gave up her comfortable life and came to the Wizard Plane with an unknown future.

It’s because she wants to be immortal, and Wizards are the closest group in this world to immortality.

The premise of achieving a Wizard’s immortality is naturally their own strength. So she knows that if she wants to climb to a higher level, she must lay a good foundation, which is very important! Therefore, in the face of her guidance method, she is very meticulous. She had to clarify each key point before she proceeded to the next step of her practice.

However, if there is another equally ordered gap between guidance methods. Does it mean there is also a gap in her foundation when compared with other people?

Nausica wanted to go back and ask Angel if there was a gap between guidance methods, but she resisted the urge.

She feared her questioning would embarrass Angel.

Suddenly, Nausica raised her head and looked up at the white clouds in the sky.

“Maybe there will be an answer in… High Cloud Library.”

The burning of the corpse had reached its end, but Nausica could not wait to see the result, which was already beyond recognition. She did not hesitate to leave. Her next destination, High Cloud Library!

The fire continued to burn slowly, and the smell was rolling with the heatwave while the surrounding plants swayed constantly at the smoke.

A shadow appeared next to the body.

Silently watching the corpse turn into ash and becoming nourishment for the ground, then the shadow slowly left.

…

Under the Crypt Field at a fork in the road. A mortal carries a dinner plate through the underground.

All the Wizard Apprentices who saw this mortal were unsurprised… There are also restaurants open by ordinary people in the underground, and there is more than one delivery service.

Knock knock— the mortal knocks on the door of a room.

“Who is it?”

“Delivery from the Pineapple Shell Restaurant, sir.”

The door was opened to reveal a pockmarked-faced teenager inside. The mortal smiled and handed him the dinner plate, and then left without stopping at all.

After closing the door, a voice sounded from the room.

“Lafitte, I only had three full meals this afternoon. I really want to eat…” This voice was slightly thick.

The pockmarked-faced teenager walks up to the wild man and the man looks at the tray in the teenager’s hand. He darkly compares it with the big-fat teenager opposite to him.

The simple and honest voice immediately exclaimed, “Lafitte, I really want my sandwich. I’m so hungry, my belly…”

Of course, it was Hookedick’s group. Forsa is the one who clamours for sandwiches, while Lafitte is the teenager with a pockmarked face.

Hookedick saw the plate of food given to Forsa and swore, “Fatty, it’s a good thing there are no outsiders here, or else you’ll lose all our face!”

Then Forsa was given the plate with a sandwich. He then gently opened it and took off the white note from the plate and grabbed the white sandwich.

Forsa grinned over the sandwich and took no notice of being scolded, eating and taking notice of the white note. But as he was gobbling up his food. He did not have time to ask. His eyes immediately turned to Lafitte, the pockmarked teenager.

Lafitte nodded knowingly and made a pompous gesture: “Boss, how could there be a note hidden in this plate? It’s not a love letter written to you by an elder sister, right? She fell in love with the boss at first sight and wants to spend some time with you?”

Hookedick snorted: “What love letter, this is not a love letter, this is the Pollock family’s notice letter.”

The Pollock family? Who the hell are they?

“The Pollock family is an assassin family in the mortal world.” A brief introduction was given by Hookedick.

“Assassin family? Boss, why do you have contact with an assassin family?” Lafitte looked confused.

Hookedick’s face flashed with malice, resentment and jealousy: “Of course, to kill that arrogant son of a bitch, the boy has not even registered as an apprentice yet. So he certainly has not been promoted to apprentice. So I… Heh heh.”

When Hookedick said “arrogant son of a bitch,”Lafitte and Forsa naturally knew exactly who it was. It was in the Resource Allocation Hall when Angel stole the spotlight from Hookedick.

Although the two of them often follow Hookedick to greet Angel with fierce eyes, they are just catering to this rash man. In fact, they don’t want to offend Angel at all.

Remembering the mentor behind Angel, Lafitte took a silent step back. Forsa hated Angel because of Melanie, but he later learned Melanie was severely rejected by Angel, and his dislike of him had fallen a lot.

His real idea was the same as Lafitte’s, he doesn’t want to offend a promising enemy, even if Angel hasn’t been promoted yet.

The hearts of Lafitte and Forsa are in sync with each other. When they look at each other, they understand each other’s attitude.

After reading the white note, Hookedick showed a trace of regret on his face and severely threw the note to the ground.

Lafitte picked it up and saw on the note: Mission failed, a man and a woman were protecting the target, and the assassin died.

After, the description of the man and woman is also given in detail.

“Nausica and Baruba?” Lafitte murmured.

“It’s these two people who have destroyed the complicated plans I have laid down. Abominable!” Hookedick’s eyes were ferocious, but soon he laughed: “I know he’s going to be hard to kill, and that is to be expected. I just wanted to add more psychological pressure on him. I guess now the son of a bitch dares not even leave his door, ha ha ha ha!”

“But it also gave me information that not only is Nausica’s watching over and helping him, but Baruba is on his side.” Hookedick flashed the corners of his lips and was not afraid of the two people at all. Angel had some scruples, but he did not dare to confront him head-on. But these two people had no background! Soon he will go through the soul soil baptism, and when he comes back, those who dare to defy him will be eradicated one by one!
