After half an hour.
Baluba sat in the living room, took a tube of ointment prepared by Angel himself, and gently applied it to the wound on the palm of his hand. His expression was cold and calm from beginning to end, even when the ointment containing alcohol was applied to the open wound, he did not frown.
After the ointment was applied, Baluba was still wrapping the bandage around the wound with one hand.
Angel wanted to help, but Baluba refused.
"Thank you very much this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid... the consequences would be unpredictable." Angel thanked him sincerely.
Baluba didn't care: "No, it's your kindness."
Baluba has been protecting Sairum and Nausicaa recently, but in fact, Nausicaa's force is not inferior to him, so basically he has nothing to do. This time, he saved Angel and was able to repay his favor, but Baluba himself felt that he had earned it.
Baluba was not good at words, and fell silent after replying.
In this sudden attack, Angel was also very heartbroken. If it wasn't for Baluba's rescue in time, he might have really had an accident. Therefore, even if Baluba used the excuse of "human affection", Angel's gratitude to him has not diminished.

Nausicaa, who was wearing soft armor, opened the door of the side room and walked into the living room.
"The person died. He committed suicide. He contained lethal poison beforehand. It may have been organized by a regular killer, but it has been confirmed that he is a mortal, and an extraordinary." Nausicaa just went to interrogate that little brother, Ange. Erze gave Baluba the wound medicine outside: "I didn't explain the employer, but the ** is not far from ten, it should be Hook Dick."
Angel nodded clearly. Since he left home, he has basically never offended anyone. The only two people who have a gap are Hook Dick and Fusa, but between Fusa and Angel, they haven't reached the level of hands-on, so the biggest possibility is only Hook Dick.
"Hook Dick doesn't dare to really deal with you, at most it's just a little trick." Nausicaa said calmly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have dropped the price and invited mortals to assassinate the talented."
The shadow of Hook Dick flashed in Angel's heart. Since the town of Dusk Harbor, he has held the attitude that more things are worse than less things, and he does not confront Hook Dick head-on. Hook Dick has always been very cautious, at most glaring at him with malicious eyes behind his back, but no actual action.
That's why, after Angel moved out of the crypt, he lowered his defenses over time. Who knows, Hook Dick will bite him at this time.
Angel's expression was gloomy. In this world, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. If Hook Dick is not removed, who knows what will happen next time.
"According to Sairum, Hook Dick seems to be taken by his mentor to a certain soul soil for baptism, although I don't know what soul soil is, but with the talent of Hook Dick's soul system, maybe after returning, the combat power will be restored. There is improvement." Nausicaa said: "So, the best way now is to endure it first."
"Once you are promoted to mortal, Hook Dick will not dare to use mortals for petty tricks. Even if he invites other wizard apprentices, others will not dare to do anything to you. After all, Lord Sanders is not easy to deal with."
Angel also knew the details of Nausicaa's proposal, so he did not reject it. Originally, he had the idea of not going out without breaking through. Now that this happened, he realized more clearly that only with his own strength can he have the confidence to survive in this world.
"I see, I will go all out to practice recently." Angel said: "There is a protective formation in the house, and others can't break in. This time, I really thank you two."
Nausicaa winked in a charming manner: "I just took the defense mission of 'Defending the Peace of the Eighth Apprentice Town' to earn some contribution points."
Angel knew that the reason why Nausicaa chose to take over the defense mission of the 8th Apprentice Town was mostly for him. But he didn't break it, he just kept this kindness in his heart.
Nausicaa left with her brother's body, and Baluba also said goodbye to him. After the two left, the huge room returned to silence again.
Angel silently muttered the name "Hook Dick" in his heart, his eyes flickering.
…
Nausicaa took the body across the creek, found a clearing in the woods, and burned it directly.
The corpse, which was turned into coke in the firelight, shattered little by little. Nausicaa's attention was not there, but her thoughts returned to Angel.
It was only after Angel's suggestion that she found the spiritual power, and by then Angel could already control the spiritual power. When she was able to control her mental power, Angel was still standing still; but when she successfully built the initial structure of the mental power model and summoned the magic source to advance to the first-level apprentice, Angel still did not make progress.
This made her very concerned.
It stands to reason that this step is not difficult to build a model with mental power. She asked many wizard apprentices, and they never got stuck at this step, but why did Angel never succeed
Nausicaa suddenly remembered that she had accidentally mentioned Angel's situation once when she was asking her mentor Fantser for advice.
But Fantser was not surprised at all, just said: "Sanders has a good student."
So... Could there be something he doesn't know is tricky
In other words, is there something wrong with Angel's guidance method
Nausicaa never told anyone that she was stunned by the "immortality" in her heart. After she became king in the Blackberry Sea, she never worried about food and clothing expenses, and there were hundreds of sailors under her command, so she had power and money. How many people envy and long for this kind of life? But she gave up a comfortable life and came to the wizarding world with a bleak future.
It is precisely because she wants to pursue immortality, and wizards are the closest group of people to immortality in this world.
The premise of becoming an immortal wizard is naturally one's own strength. So she is very clear that if she wants to climb to a higher height, she must lay a good foundation. The foundation is very important! Therefore, when facing the Guidance Method, she is very persistent, and she has to clarify every key point before proceeding to the next step of cultivation.
However, if there is an equal-level gap between the guiding methods, does it mean that there is a gap between her foundation and others
Nausicaa wanted to go back and ask Angel if there was a gap between the guidance methods, but she resisted the urge.
She was afraid that her questioning would embarrass Angel.
Suddenly, Nausicaa raised her head and looked at a white cloud outside.
"Maybe... there will be an answer in the cloud library."
The burning of the corpse had come to an end, but Nausicaa couldn't wait any longer. She glanced at the skeleton, which had changed beyond recognition, and Nausicaa left without hesitation. Her next destination, Cloud Library!
The fire continued to burn slowly, and the scorched breath carried a rolling heat wave, swaying the surrounding vegetation.
A dark shadow appeared beside the corpse at this time.
Silently watching the corpse turn into fly ash and the nourishment of the earth, the shadow slowly left.
…
Under the wilderness of the crypt, in a fork in the road, a mortal shuttled through the ground with a warm dinner plate.
All the wizard apprentices who saw this mortal were not surprised. There are also restaurants opened by ordinary people underground, and there are more than one delivery service.
dong dong dong - mortal knocks on the door of a room.
"Who?"
"Sir, delivery from the Pineapple Shell Restaurant."
The door was opened, revealing the reckless man inside. The mortal smiled and handed him the dinner plate, then without any pause, he immediately retired and left.
After closing the door, a voice sounded from inside the room.
"Lafitte, I'm only three full at noon today, I really want to eat..." This was a slightly honest voice.
The pock-faced boy walked up to the mang man, glanced at the dinner plate in the mang man's hand, and secretly compared "three" to the big fat man on the opposite side from behind.
The simple and honest voice immediately rose: "Lafitte, I really want to eat sandwiches, I'm so hungry, so hungry..."
The reckless man was Hook Dick, the one who shouted for a sandwich was Fusa, and the pock-faced boy was Lafitte.
Hook Dick rolled his eyes at Fusa and scolded: "Food, it's fortunate that there are no outsiders here, or else I will lose all my face!"
Then he threw the sandwich on the plate to Fusa, and he gently opened the inner layer of the plate and took out a white strip from it.
Fusa took the sandwich with a smile, not caring about being scolded, and noticing the white strip while eating. But he was devouring, and didn't have time to ask, and his eyes immediately glanced at the pockmarked young Lafitte.
Lafitte nodded knowingly and put on a pompous gesture: "Boss, why is there a note hidden in here? Could it be some girl who fell in love with the boss at first sight and wanted to spend sex with the boss, so A love letter to you?"
Hook Dick snorted: "What love letter is not a love letter, this is a circular letter from the Pollock family."
The Pollock family? What the hell is this
"The Pollock family is a family of killers in the mortal world." Hook Dick briefly introduced.
"Killer family? Boss, why are you contacting the killer family?" Lafitte looked puzzled.
Viciousness and hatred flashed on Hook Dick's face: "Of course I'm going to kill that arrogant brat. That kid hasn't registered as an apprentice yet, and he definitely hasn't been promoted to an apprentice. So I... hehe."
Lafitte and Fussa naturally understood who the 'arrogant brat' that Hook Dick called, it was Angel who stole Hook Dick's limelight in the resource allocation hall.
Although the two of them often greeted Angel with ruthless eyes following Hook Dick, they were just catering to this reckless man. In fact, the two of them didn't want to offend Angel.
Recalling the mentor behind Angel, Lafitte took a step back silently. Although Fusa hated Angel a little because of Meraner, he later learned that Meraner was severely rejected by Angel, and the hatred in his heart dropped a lot.
His real thoughts are the same as Lafitte, and he does not want to offend a promising enemy, even if Angel has not advanced now.
Lafitte and Fussa had the same mind, and they looked at each other and understood each other's attitude.
After reading the white note, Hook Dick showed a trace of regret on his face, and threw the note to the ground ruthlessly.
Lafitte picked it up and saw the note that read: Mission failed, a man and a woman were protecting the target, the killer died.
The appearance of the man and the woman is described in detail later.
"Nausicaa and Baluba?" Lafitte murmured.
"It's these two people who actually ruined the game that was finally set, damn it!" Hook Dick's eyes were gloomy, but he soon laughed: "I know that he is not easy to kill, which is also expected. I just want to increase the psychological pressure on him, I guess now that stinky boy doesn't even dare to go out, hahahaha!"
"But this also gave me the information that not only Nausicaa's watchwoman was helping him, but even Baluba was on his side." Not at all afraid. Angel still has some scruples and dare not deal with him head-on, but these two people have no background! Immediately, he will go to the soul soil for baptism, and when he returns, he will eradicate those who dare to disobey him!
