*BAM*

Bright lightning flashed outside the window followed by the rumbling thunder.

The light illuminated Angele’s face.

He sat near the table beside the window, focusing on the notes he was writing down.

A black slim neck vase was standing on the table quietly. Its ceramic surface was clean and smooth. On top of the vase, there was a fist-sized glowing crystal that brought light to the room.

The light from the crystal was gentle and bright.

*BAM*

The thunder shook the ground again.

Angele put down his notebook on the table, stood up, and walked to the window.

It was noon. He had stayed in the house for about ten days and discovered that a storm would strike the area every three days. The weather here was quite queer.

Angele kept studying the spells he learned recently and once again he was certain that his mentality would not increase just by meditating every day.

He also did not see any people selling advanced meditation techniques, as those techniques could only be acquired through joining powerful schools. Without needed resources, it was extremely hard for wizards to progress.

Modifying spell models was a long-term task; he needed to spend years on the project. Angele had learned many spells over the years. He purchased dozens of low-level spells when he was in Ramsoda, and his goal was to complete the modification for all of them.

  

Angele thought for a while and sighed with complicated feelings.

Through the window, he could see the branches dancing in the wind. The screen created by the downfall was hitting the surface of the lake. The water in the lake looked muddy after the soil on the side was brushed down by the storm.

He saw two pedestrians passing by the further side of the forest. The only path around his house lay there. The two people were wearing long raincoats walking fast in the heavy rain.

Angele turned around and looked around. He was in the study. Two tall bookshelves were filled up with books, random notes and data sheets covered the table along with several small glass bottles with spell materials.

In the corner of the room, there was a black statue of a flying eagle standing in the corner. The eyes of the eagle were two glowing amethysts.

In the center of the white wool carpet, there was a dark Calatrava cross surrounded by a circle.

It was a beautiful house but the place was empty.

Angele glanced around knowing that he was the only person in the room. Raindrops were still hitting his roof and windows furiously.

Loneliness filled up his mind again.

"Well…" Angele sighed slowly, then checked the time. "It’s about time."

The study was on the second floor. Through the window, Angele saw blue steam rising from outside the fences and a tiny white pigeon appear in the intense steam.

He opened the window. The white pigeon slowly landed on the windowsill and shook the water off its feathers.

"Master Green, your transactions at the trading tower have new responses." The pigeon’s high-pitched voice echoed in the room, sounding like a young girl.
