Chapter 208: The Crystal Leaf (1)

Translator: Leo Editor: Frappe

A wizard’s attributes would be lowered each time they failed to advance to the next level. Wizards at higher ranks or stages usually had a lower physical status than the ones who just broke the limit.

With the help of the Demos' Water, Angele increased his Mentality to 40, but the potion was no longer effective right after. His body had already developed a resistance to its effect. Otherwise, Angele would try to increase his Mentality a bit more. Higher mentality increased the success rate of advancing to next stages.

The potion was extremely effective at the beginning. However, in later stages, only the side effects which remained were still affecting his body.

Wisp arrived with the sample when Angele was still checking his body condition.

There was a small glass box over his palm. Inside it was a piece of white leaf surrounded by a light white glow.

"That’s the crystal leaf. We put a lot of effort into collecting those leaves for you. Several wizards were hurt and some apprentices died. It was a hard mission." Wisp smiled.

"I understand. So, what do you want from me? Just say it. To be honest, I didn’t expect you guys to actually find the leaves for me. I respect your organization’s power." Angele stared at Wisp right in his eyes. "I’ve always wanted to know who exactly I was dealing with…"

"I can’t tell you the details." Wisp dodged the question. "Well, I just want you to know that we spent a lot of resources to find you this thing."

Angele sipped some black tea from the cup, his eyes blinking.

He asked Isabel about the crystal leaf after placing the order. Isabel told him that even the Jones Family could only collect about three pieces of high-quality crystal leaf each year.

The leaf was highly valuable and was the main ingredient of the best neutralizer in the black market. The basic effect of the leaf was to increase the success rate of the concoction of certain potions. Only a small amount was required for each test, and it was the dream material to all Potion Masters.

In Jones Family’s material storage room, there were two pieces of top quality crystal leaf that had been acquired about a hundred years ago.

Wisp brought the physical sample to Angele’s house and it was one of the leaves his organization acquired. The rest would be delivered when the trade is settled.

Angele had a blank expression on his face, but he was surprised by the power of Wisp’s organization.

The Jones Family was powerful, but it seemed like Wisp’s organization was even more powerful.

A third of the hidden resource points in the whole Six Ring area belonged to the Jones Family. Their family members were spying most of the important resources points and military bases. Some of them had connections with the dark wizards’ organizations. Flan Jones wore a black robe during the war against the underground race. She wanted a position in the Six Ring area after the war ended, so she changed to a light wizard.

Members that had pure bloodlines were rare in most wizard families, and untalented kids would be sent other areas. They could not handle the amount of energy radiation in Nola and the only way to keep them alive was to send them to normal families.

There were about one hundred family members in Jones’s territory, about 50 of them were wizards with pure bloodlines and the rest were all apprentices. The family recruited apprentices from outside Nola to do daily works for them. No one complained as they were treated much better in Nola than at their own family territories.
