Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 1638: Section 1639 Sangye

Upon receiving Kanter’s request, Angel did not refuse, but he also did not give a definite answer.

He simply said, ”I’ll go check on the situation at the Research and Development Institute later. I’ll do my best to give it a try.”

Kanter expressed his gratitude: ”Then I’ll have to trouble you. I was originally here to thank you, and now I am asking for a favor.”

While they were talking, a clicking sound came from outside the hall. Soon after, Butler No. 1 lifted the curtain and flew inside.

”Master, there is a guest outside who wishes to see you,” said the metallic voice of Butler No. 1.

”A guest?” Everyone couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards the manor’s exterior.

Through Angel’s perspective, the visitor outside the manor was a woman. Dressed in a pure white dress with golden edges, she looked somewhat like the robes worn by Divine Officers at first glance.

The woman had a voluptuous figure and a beautiful face, with her golden hair casually dispersed, exuding a seductive charm as well as a hint of languor.

However, what was noteworthy was the faint golden scale at the center of her exposed collarbone.

This scale was continuously emitting a faint scent of the sea.

As everyone sized her up, she seemed to have noticed their gazes, casually swept her hair aside, and smiled enchantingly.

”Why would she come here?” Kanter’s voice pulled everyone back from their thoughts.

”Is she Sangye?” At this time, Angel also voiced his internal query. Although he had never met Sangye, the fish scale indicated she was very likely from the Song of the Deep Sea, and her awareness of their gaze suggested her strength was at least at the Official Wizard Level.

Since Kanter had only recently mentioned Sangye, Angel naturally first thought of the witch known as ”Golden Umbrella.”

Kanter nodded, ”Yes, she is Witch Sangye.”

Upon hearing that the person outside was Sangye, Qi Li’s eyebrows immediately furrowed. Seeing Qi Li’s expression, Kanter knew what she was thinking and said helplessly, ”It’s just Witch Sangye alone.”

That is to say, Jiebo was not present.

Still, Qi Li’s face remained displeased. After all, Witch Sangye was also a disciple of Sea God Florenza.

”Let her in,” Sanders directed Butler No. 1 at this moment, as compared to others from the Song of the Deep Sea, Witch Sangye’s reputation in the Southern Domain was considered fairly good.

Kanter had no objections, as he was just thinking of discussing the division of responsibility with Witch Sangye.

Before long, the elegantly seductive Sangye walked in from outside.

Upon entering, she greeted everyone with familiarity. It seemed she was well-acquainted with both Kanter and Sanders. At least on the surface, their relationship looked quite amicable.

However, although Sangye was greeting Kanter and Sanders, Angel could clearly feel that her seemingly inadvertent glances were locked on him.

As Angel thought this, Sangye approached him.

”I’ve long heard of the great name of the Transcendental Wizard; today is my first meeting, and you’re even younger and more handsome than I imagined,” Sangye said, and then flirtatiously winked her left eye at Angel, whispering close to his ear, ”If you’re ever in need of a companion, consider me~”

Accompanied by a round of teasing laughter, Sangye took her seat.

”Witch Sangye’s timing is quite impeccable. I was just considering how to divide responsibilities,” Kanter took the lead in speaking.

Sangye waved his hand dismissively, ”Let’s talk about Jiebo’s trivial matters tomorrow. I didn’t come today to discuss such headache-inducing issues.”

At this moment, Sanders spoke up, ”Then may I ask what brings you here?”

Sangye’s gaze turned towards Angel, ”Of course, I am here for the Transcendental Wizard.”

Angel, who had intended to be just a listener, was taken aback to find Sangye steering the conversation back to him again.

”You’ve come because of me?” Angel said with confusion. They had only met for the first time today, so what could it possibly be about?

”Yes, speaking of which, my mentor has always spoken highly of you, especially in the art of Alchemy.”

As Sangye spoke, Angel began to form some guesses in his mind.

”...I heard that the Transcendental Wizard once refined an Alchemical Device related to the Ocean Mage?” After a lengthy praise, Sangye finally revealed her intention.

Angel: ”If Witch Sangye intends to purchase the Song of the Deep Sea, I’m afraid I might disappoint you.”

Sangye: ”You don’t have to refuse so quickly. Have you ever heard of Spiwey? Of course, I am not referring to the Spiwey who emerged in the Nova Contest.”

Since it wasn’t Spiwey, the cheap disciple of Flora, then the one Sangye mentioned must be the one—

The Master of Trickery, Spiwey, from five thousand years ago.

Naturally, Angel knew about this Legendary Wizard but was somewhat puzzled as to why Sangye would bring him up.

Sangye quickly provided an answer, ”Not long ago, when I was traveling abroad, I inadvertently entered an abandoned laboratory. The former owner of this lab was none other than Spiwey.”

Wizards often travel around, and sometimes, when struck by inspiration, they would set up a temporary laboratory on the spot. Therefore, around the world, including beyond the realms, many abandoned laboratories can often be found.

Although most of these labs are empty, some can still offer benefits. For example, experimental data, research plans, or even some leftover transcendental tools, etc.

Many Apprentice Wizards, picking up the remnants of Official Wizards, have potential for advancement. If it’s the remnant wisdom of a Great Wizard, the benefit is even greater. Therefore, even an abandoned laboratory can be extremely valuable.

Sangye continued, ”I was quite fortunate, in this abandoned lab, I found an item. According to records, it should be an Alchemy Tool once used by the Master of Trickery.”

”I can use this tool to make an exchange with you.”

”What tool?” Regardless of the exchange, Angel was curious about the tool Sangye was referring to. After all, if she was willing to trade it, she must have great confidence in its value.

Sangye smiled mysteriously, ”It’s an Illusion Series auxiliary device. I wonder if the Transcendental Wizard might be interested?”

An artifact once used by a Legendary Wizard, and it’s from the Illusion Series?!

Angel and Sanders exchanged glances, with Sanders also showing a trace of surprise.

Although the Master of Trickery was not of the Illusion Series, the mere fact that he carried it with him, as mentioned by Sangye to be a used artifact, indicated that it must be extraordinary.

Suddenly, Sanders seemed to think of something, mulling over in his mind: A used artifact? Could it be that item...

Although Angel didn’t know what Sanders was thinking, he also understood that the item must be of great value.

He thought for a moment and then said to Sangye, ”Since we’re talking about a trade, you should at least show it to me, right?”
