The Wizard World (Part 2)

Chapter 238: Drama (1)

Angele shook his head. Although Isabel looked like she was lacking in emotions, she still had a pure heart, and it sounded like they were deeply in love. He recalled the words Flan said to him that night and he suddenly felt a bit depressed.

"How's he treating you? I mean..." Angele regretted right after speaking.

"He's a great guy and he's treating me very well..." Isabel lowered her voice. "Alright, let's stop talking about him. I contacted you because I want to apologize for my grandmother."

"Don't worry about it. I wish you two the best," Angele responded in a light tone.

"Thank you."

The communication was cut off here.

Angele stood by the window with his eyes narrowed and he started thinking. He could smell something fishy in the whole incident but he couldn't make tails or heads about the reason why. There was also no evidence supporting his assumptions so he decided to give up and focus on the World Stone project instead.

Isabel never contacted him again after the short conversation they had.

He spent most of his time studying the World Stone and testing the basic models. Angele was still meditating every day but his mentality was barely growing. He also made some basic potions for daily use.

Several days passed.

At noon of the fifth day.

It was dark outside. The thick clouds blocked the bright sunlight and it looked like it was about to rain.

Angele was collecting some material samples by the lake and he wanted to grow plants that were polluted by the turtle flesh in the area.

He suddenly heard a noise that sounded like a sheep bleating.

Angele leaned to the side and saw an enormous white sheep slowly stopping by the road sign that indicated that the area was wizard Green's territory. A fully geared Knight jumped off the sheep quickly.

Two patrolling Knight walked to the sheep and the man handed a brown wooden cylinder to them. They then quickly delivered it to Angele.

"Master, a letter from the Jones Family delivered by the post office." The Knight handed over the brown wooden cylinder.

"Thanks." Angele grabbed the wooden cylinder and unsealed. Inside it was a light-yellow leather scroll.

He unfurled the scroll and read it through. His expression changed afterward.

The letter was from the Jones Family but there was no name on it. It seemed like the sender did not want to leave any trace so he chose to send it by means of the postal office.

The information on the letter was simple. It listed the things Isabel did recently.

Angele put down the letter and he knew something was not right. He tried to talk to Isabel using the communication rune but no one responded.

"Amy, prepare the eagle for me."

"Yes, master."

Several minutes later, a black eagle took off from the house and flew toward the location where Isabel was last seen.

**********************

Angele was not sure if he had enough power to help Isabel this time.

He found it hard to believe that Isabel did so many wrong things just in several days.

First, she sent out a part of her family resources to someone without permission and then she stole one of the most important family heirlooms before sneaking out of the territory. Second, she rushed into the Bennis Family's territory and stole two more important family heirlooms. The report said that Isabel was injured by the guards of the Bennis Family before she escaped. The Bennis Family had been pressuring the Jones Family intensely after the incident and Flan had to put a price on Isabel's head.

Flan had no idea how her granddaughter found a way to destroy the runes that she set up for monitoring the girl's daily life. She was the leader of the family so she needed to give the council an account for what Isabel did. The council of the elders was still voting for the best solution at the moment.

No one expected that Isabel would become a criminal. After all, she was a good girl.

The letter also said that a team had been formed tasked to track Isabel down. The two families wanted to capture her and question her as soon as possible.

The Six Ring High Tower paid a lot of attention to the events and the organization was also pressuring the Jones Family for an answer.

Angele tried to look for Isabel before the team captured her. However, he failed.

*************************

Inside a black castle that was built in a sea of trees.

Angele finally met Isabel in a prison with heavy defense. The prison was called the Eye of the Dark Forest and it was controlled by the Six Ring High Tower. Countless defensive magic circles were set up around it and wizards inside could not cast any spells due to the special energy barrier.

A team of on-duty wizard apprentices guided Angele through the hallway and headed to the underground cells. The place was dirty and it smelled like rotten meat.

Isabel was kept in an individual cell with only one entrance.

There was nothing inside the dark room. Isabel was sitting on a chair, staring at the black ceiling. It almost looked like she had lost her soul.

*CLANG*

The metal door of the cell was slammed closed.

Angele glanced around after entering the room.

The only things he saw was a chair and a female wizard.

"Hey, Green, it's you." Isabel stood up. She looked depressed and tired. Her cheeks were thin and there two dark circles surrounded her eyes.

"I don't understand. Why did you do this?" Angele knitted his eyebrows.

"My family didn't like Raymond." Isabel forced a smile on her face.

"Raymond, huh?" Angele shook his head. "It seems like many things have happened between you two but I know nothing about it. You need to know that advancing to the next stage should be your priority right now and what you did was against the rules. I can talk to master Flan and try to make her change her mind but all these things you did...You're just looking for trouble."

"I know the consequences..." Isabel remained calm. "But I trust him. He'll never lie to me...!" Isabel suddenly started coughing after speaking and she covered her mouth with both hands, but Angele saw blood leaking out through the gaps between her fingers.
