Chapter 201
Nancy calmed down a bit, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable after hearing Angele’s questions.
"So you’re not joking…? You’re the Angele I met on the s.h.i.+p?" She remembered the day Angele cured her wound using a disgusting method, but she still found it hard to believe that the young man with a low talent level became a formal wizard.
When they first met, Angele was a rank 1 apprentice while the wizard Green in front her was a formal wizard that had residential rights in one of the three major wizard organizations.
The difference was huge.
"There’s no point in lying to you." Angele responded with a light tone, "Hiring you is risky, I hear. However, I want to know what happened in Andes Alliance. You’re the daughter of the Duke, why were you expelled? What exactly happened to the harbor?"
Nancy finally believed that Green was Angele Rio. A formal wizard would not spend time collecting useless information about a random apprentice.
She stared at Angele, realizing that he was releasing his strong mentality wave the whole time. Nancy spent years trying to break the limit, but after her family encountered the problem, she had to escape from the a.s.sa.s.sins of Labyrinth College and had no time to progress.
Angele was no longer the son of a countryside n.o.ble. He had now become a formal wizard, and Nancy had to show her respect to him. The situation had changed. She never thought a day like this would come.
Nancy knew Angele was staring at her, waiting for the answer. Her face blushed; she lowered her head and tried to avoid any eye contact. She wanted to turn around and run away if possible. Nancy thought the reason why Angele sent the contract to her was that he wanted to mock her. The incident that happened on the s.h.i.+p ended awkwardly.
She could feel that her cheeks were burning.
Nancy calmed down after several seconds. This was her only chance to get hired since other wizards were scared about her background. Most of the wizards would try to stay away from trouble and no one wanted to get dragged into the war between organizations. It would be a great waste of time, but it seemed like Angele did not care too much.
"Talk. First, I want to know what happened to the alliance." Angele was getting a bit impatient.
Nancy bit her lips. She still did not want to raise her head.
"The alliance is fine…It’s my family…Something unfortunate happened…" she responded in a low voice.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"So it’s just your family? Good, as long as the alliance is still peaceful…" Angele realized the words he just said was inappropriate. Nancy’s life changed after her family lost power in the alliance, but the only thing Angele cared was his own family.
"Well, sorry. I didn’t mean it…It’s just that I’m worried about my…" Angele looked at Nancy. The girl was arrogant, but she would draw her sword to fight for justice.
Angele shook his head. What happened to her was quite unfortunate.
"Alright, you’re hired. From now on, you’re one of my guards. Also, if you don’t like this place, you can leave anytime you want. It’s your right."
He stopped for a second and continued, "I hope you can focus your attention on the work. Unfortunate things happen. One of my old friends asked to become my follower, but her talent level was way too low, so I had to refuse her. Also, have you heard anything about the talented young man named Jared?"
Nancy nodded. "Jared successfully broke the limit and became a formal wizard last year. He’s still a member of the White Mist Forest, I believe. Haven’t contacted him in a long time."
Angele knew that White Mist Forest was a wizard organization beside the Labyrinth College.
"White Mist Forest…I won’t be visiting him anytime soon then." Angele shook his head. "Do you know why I don’t fear the Labyrinth C
ollege and why I hired you? Because they already placed a price on my head."
Nancy gritted her teeth. Her face was still blus.h.i.+ng, but she did not really have any other choice.
"Thank you…I’ll be leaving now." She lowered her voice.
