Chapter 298
Angele soon returned to the residential area. Climbing up the ladder, he returned to his room.
He walked to the corner and took out the black box, then he placed it atop the cabinet.
‘The world stone has been destroyed. Vivian is going to be sad,’ Henn immediately spoke right after the box was opened.
‘Why is that? It was probably my fault.’ Angele pursed his lips.
‘A world stone loses its function once its structure gets damaged. The energy waves it emanates will soon disappear, which means, the world stone is more or less a regular stone now. And did you see the magic circle in that room and the entire rune engravings? That should be at least ten years’ worth of effort.’ Henn chuckled. Angele looked at the box. ‘Since I did
Angele spent most of his time studying and using the biochip to do simulations. He would have meals with Vivian in the dining hall every day. Their meal was simple—white bread, milk, eggs, and some fruits.
Without Zero, Angele would not even know what the current time was in the ruin. Life was repet.i.tive, but he still had gotten a lot of work done.
Angele could still explore the ruin freely after the incident, but he noticed that many of the once-opened tunnels had been sealed in stone walls. It was now nigh impossible for him to head to the restricted areas.
He knew Vivian was trying to protect him from the dangerous areas.
Vivian knew there was only so much Angele could do in the ruin, so she imparted to him many level 2 Fire category spells to study.
Angele stored everything in the database.
His goal initially was to obtain as many level 2 spells as he could, and it should already be time for him to leave. However, Angele detected the remains of the mysterious energy inside the ruin several days after the incident, so he decided to stay here for a bit longer.
15 days later.
In the dining hall of the ruin.
There was a rectangular brown table at the center of the dining hall.
Angele and Vivian sat opposite to each other silently. The dining table was about ten meters long, yet they were the only ones having dinner.
The hall was being lit by the glowing red crystals on the walls which made the walls seem as though it was filled with dark red lava.
Angele cut the red meat on his plate into pieces and sent one into his mouth with a fork.
The meat was tender, and the garlicky flavor exploded in his mouth.
"What kind of meat is this? It’s great." Angele looked at Vivian.
"I’m glad you liked it. It’s the sirloin of the fire lizards." Vivian drank white milk from a gla.s.s and smiled. "I know you’re getting bored in the ruin. You can return to your home if you want to. I won’t force you to stay with me. For some reason, there’s some strange energy movement in the ruin after the accident…"
She stopped for a second before she continued, "You have your own things to take care of. Ah, you joined Elemental Hand, right? Make sure you do the basic tasks as the rewards are decent for new members. I can also offer you some help since you’re my…"
Angele hesitated for a second then he interrupted, "Actually, I didn’t see many Elemental Hand wizards when I joined the organization, why is that?"
"You are a new member, so you have not seen anything yet. What did they tell you? The headquarters of Elemental Hand is not just the place you have gone to. The Watch Tower, Wind Canyon, Wanderer’s Farm, Golden River, and the council are all part of the organization’s headquarters. There are more than one thousand wizards in Elemental Hand, but they live in different areas which is why you did not meet many of them," Vivian explained.
"Well, I actually don’t mind a quiet headquarters. I am just curious." Angele shrugged.
