The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 49: Nancy (2)

Nancy looked at him before returning her sword back into its sheath slowly.

“I just don’t like the way you deal with the girl. I’m done with you.” Nancy was seemingly calm, and then she started to walk toward Angele. Angele was standing in the crowd while feeling a bit confused.

“You,” Nancy said as she pointed at him.

“Come help me tend my wounds,” she continued to say while maintaining a calm demeanor. It was as though she was talking to an old friend.

“Me?” Angele pointed at himself to make sure Nancy was talking to him. Suddenly, he saw a lot of blood oozing out of Ali’s mouth. It seemed that Ali’s organs had been injured during the fight, making Angele realize that Nancy wasn’t the only one who got hurt. Though he didn’t like the way Nancy approached him, he still decided to step forward due to her relationship with Master Adolf.

People around weren’t surprised because everyone witnessed Nancy talking to Angele when they first met. Nancy walked into the cabin with Angele following her. Wizard apprentices weren’t allowed to bring maids with them, so they had to do everything by themselves. Nancy trusted Angele because he was one of Adolf’s students like her. They went into the dark staircase. Nancy could barely stand properly, almost falling down. Angele grabbed her uninjured shoulder to prevent her from falling down the stairs.

“Help me get to my room. He poisoned his dagger.” Nancy, who had a pale face, gritted her teeth. Angele finally realized how serious her wound was. When she faced Ali, she was trying her utmost not to show vulnerability. Angele decided to help her first, so he took her back to her room. Nancy was sweating buckets when they walked down to the 1st floor. After reaching the room, she opened the door slowly. Angele assisted her to sit on a chair.

“You can leave now,” Nancy said with a weak voice. Angele scrunched his eyebrows; he could smell the strange stench coming from Nancy’s left shoulder.

“The poison on the dagger originated from the Snake Root Flower. If you handle it erroneously, you’ll be paralyzed for days. By then, Ali can do whatever he wants to you,” Angele said. He had confirmed the source of the poison after smelling some spiciness from the stench. Nancy’s expression abruptly changed after hearing Angele’s words and quickly grabbed a small leather pouch from the drawer. She took out a little paper bag out of the pouch and opened it carefully. There was some light yellow powder inside. When Angele saw the powder, it immediately reminded him of some data he had stored on the chip before.

“You…” Angele quickly stepped forward, but he blacked out before he could even finish speaking.

Angele woke up with a silver crossguard sword held against his neck. Nancy was coldly glaring at him. The blade already made contact with his skin, a thin line of blood slowly trickling down his neck. Angele felt his hair all over his body raising and he could feel the pain coming from his neck. He was already at knight level and had decent attributes among the knights, yet he didn’t have enough time to react after seeing that powder. She must have used her enchanted item to catch Angele off-guard. Zero couldn’t help him under such occasion.

“Wait, the dagger actually had mixed poisons on it. One thing I could distinguish is the poison from the Bolan Grass. If you don’t deal with it within five hours, your whole left arm will be rendered unusable. I’m just trying to warn you about it, so don’t get too angry.” Angele raised his hands and slowly pushed the sword away.

“The man in the black robe wouldn’t allow murder on this galleon. Besides, losing a left arm is probably nothing to a wizard,” he continued. Nancy let Angele push her sword away, sheathing the sword right after. She was still staring at him coldly as though she wasn’t too concerned about what Angele was saying. She decided to pour all the powder into her mouth.
