Baruba was sitting in the living room, holding a tube of ointment that Angel prepared himself, and gently applied it to the wound on his palm. His expression was cold and calm from beginning to end, even though the ointment containing alcohol was applied to the open flesh and blood.
He didn't even frown when he was injured.
After applying the ointment, Baluba still wrapped 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 have been unpredictable." Angel thanked him sincerely.
But Baluba didn't care: "No, just treat it as repaying your kindness."
Baluba has been protecting Salem and Nausicaa recently, but in fact, Nausicaa's strength is not inferior to him, so he basically has nothing to do. This time he saved Angel,
Being able to repay his favor, Baluba himself felt that he had earned it.
Baluba was not good at words and fell silent after replying.
Angel was also very frightened by this sudden attack. If Baluba hadn't rescued him in time, he might have had an accident. Therefore, even if Baluba used the excuse of "the favor is not worth it", Angel's gratitude to him was not enough.
It has never diminished.

Nausicaa, dressed in soft armor, opened the door to the side room and walked into the living room.
"The person died. He committed suicide. He contained fatal poison beforehand. It may have been organized by a regular killer, but it has been determined that he was a mortal and an extraordinary person." Nausicaa just went to interrogate the little brother, Ange.
I was outside getting medicine for Baluba's wounds: "I haven't named my employer, but my wife is close to him. It should be Hook Dick."
Angel nodded understandingly. He had basically not offended anyone since he left home. The only two people who had a gap were Huk Dick and Fusa, but there was no fight between Fusa and Angel.
That step, so the greatest possibility, is only Hook Dick.
"Hook Dick doesn't dare to really deal with you. At most, he will only make small moves." Nausicaa said calmly: "Otherwise, the price would not be so low as to hire a mortal to assassinate the genius."
The shadow of Hook Dick flashed through Angel's mind. Ever since Dusk Harbor Town, he had adopted the attitude of doing less than doing more, and did not confront Hook Dick head-on. Hook Dick had also always been very cautious, even though
Duo secretly glared at him with vicious eyes, but actually made no move.
Because of this, Angel lowered his guard over time after moving out of the crypt. Who knew that Hook Dick would bite him at this moment.
Angel's expression was gloomy. In this world, you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, and there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. If Hook Dick is not removed, who knows what trouble will happen next time.
"I heard from Salum that Hookedik seems to be taken to a certain soul soil for baptism by his mentor. Although I don't know what soul soil is, but with Hookedick's soul-based talent, maybe his combat power will increase when he comes back.
There is improvement." Nausicaa said: "So, the best way now is to endure it first."
"Once you advance to the mortal level, Hook Dick will not dare to use mortals to make small moves. Even if he invites other wizard apprentices, others will not dare to do anything to you. After all, Mr. Sanders is not easy to deal with."
Angel also knew the meaning of Nausicaa's proposal, so he did not refuse it. Originally, he had the idea of not going out without a breakthrough. Now that this happened, he understood more clearly that only his own strength is strong.
Only then can we have the confidence to survive in this world.
"I know, I will go all out to practice recently." Angel said: "There is a protective array in the house, and no one can break in. This time, I really want to thank you two."
Nausicaa blinked charmingly: "I just accepted the defense mission of 'Protecting the Peace of the 8th Apprentice Town' to earn some contribution points."
Angel knew that the reason why Nausicaa chose to take over the defense task of the 8th Apprentice Town was probably because of him. However, he did not point it out, he just kept this kindness in his heart.
Nausicaa took her brother's body and left, and Baluba also said goodbye to him. After the two left, the huge room returned to silence.
Angel silently muttered the name "Hook Dick" in his heart, his eyes twinkling.
…
Nausicaa took the body across the creek, found an open space in the woods, and burned it directly.
The body that turned into charcoal in the firelight disintegrated little by little. Nausicaa's attention was not here, but her thoughts returned to Angel.
She only found her spiritual power under Angel's guidance, and by that time Angel was already able to control her spiritual power. When she was able to control her spiritual power, Angel was still standing still; but she successfully built her spiritual power.
The preliminary structure of the force model, summoning the magic source and advancing to the first level apprentice, Angel still made no progress.
This made her very concerned.
It stands to reason that this step of constructing a model using mental power is not difficult. She asked many wizard apprentices and they had never been stuck at this step, but why had Angel never succeeded?
Nausicaa suddenly remembered that once when she was seeking advice from her mentor Fanterse, she had accidentally mentioned Angel's situation.
But Fanterser was not surprised at all, and just said: "Sanders has recruited good students."
So... is there something fishy that he doesn't know about?
In other words, there is something wrong with Angel's guidance method?
Nausicaä never told anyone about her inner obsession with "immortality". After she became the king of the Blackberry Sea, she never had to worry about food and clothing. She also had hundreds of sailors under her command, so she had power and money. This kind of thing
How many people envied and longed for life? But she gave up her comfortable life and came to the wizarding world with an uncertain future.
It is precisely because she wants to pursue immortality, and wizards are the closest group of people in this world to immortality.
The prerequisite for becoming an immortal wizard is naturally your own strength. So she knows very well that if you want to climb to a higher height, you must lay a good foundation. The foundation is very important! Therefore, when facing the guidance method, she is very persistent and must
Only by clarifying each key point can you proceed to the next step of practice.
However, if there is a level gap between the guidance methods, does it mean that there is a gap between her foundation and others?
Nausicaa wanted to go back and ask Angel if there were any differences 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 group of white clouds outside the sky.
"Perhaps...there will be answers in the cloud library."
The burning of the corpses had come to an end, but Nausicaa couldn't wait any longer. After taking a look at the corpse that had changed beyond recognition and only the skeleton remained, Nausicaa left without hesitation. Her next destination was the cloud library!
The fire continued to burn slowly, and the charred breath brought with it billowing heat waves, making the surrounding vegetation sway.
A black shadow appeared next to the corpse.
Silently watching the corpse turn into fly ash and nourishment for the earth, the black shadow slowly left.
…
Under the crypt wilderness, in a certain fork in the road, a mortal was traveling underground carrying a hot dinner plate.
None of the wizard apprentices were surprised when they saw this mortal. There are also restaurants opened by ordinary people underground, and there are more than one that offer delivery services.
Dong Dong Dong - A mortal knocks on the door of a certain room.
"who?"
"Sir, delivery from Pineapple Shell Restaurant."
The door was opened, revealing the reckless man inside. The mortal smiled and handed the plate to him, then left without stopping at all.
After closing the door, a voice sounded from inside the room.
"Lafitte, I'm only three-thirds full from lunch today. I really want to eat..." This was a somewhat honest voice.
The pock-marked boy walked up to the man, glanced at the plate in the man's hand, and secretly made a "three" sign to the fat man opposite him from behind.
The honest voice immediately raised its voice: "Lafitte, I really want to eat a sandwich, I'm so hungry, so hungry..."
The arrogant man is of course Hook Dick, the one shouting for a sandwich is Fusa, and the pock-marked boy is Lafitte.
Hook Dick rolled his eyes at Fusa and cursed secretly: "Foodie, it's a good thing there are no outsiders here, otherwise I would 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.
Fusa took the sandwich with a smile, not caring about being scolded, and noticed the white note while eating. But he was in the middle of devouring it, and had no time to ask, so his eyes immediately glanced at the pockmarked boy Lafitte.
Lafitte nodded knowingly and made an exaggerated gesture: "Boss, why is there a note hidden in this? Could it be that some girl fell in love with the boss at first sight and wanted to spend time with him, so
A love letter to you, right?"
Hook Dick sneered: "What kind of love letter is there? This is a notification letter from the Pollock family."
The Pollocks? What the hell is this?
"The Pollock family is a family of killers in the mortal world." Hook Dick introduced briefly.
"The Killer Family? Boss, why are you contacting the Killer Family?" Lafitte looked confused.
Viciousness and jealousy flashed across Hook Dick's face: "Of course I'm going to kill that arrogant brat. That brat hasn't registered as an apprentice yet, so he definitely hasn't been promoted to apprentice. So I...hehe."
Lafitte and Fusa naturally knew who the 'arrogant brat' in Hook Dick's words was. It was Angel who stole Hook Dick's limelight in the resource allocation hall.
Although the two of them often followed Hook Dick and greeted Angel with fierce looks, they were just catering to this reckless man. In fact, they did not want to offend Angel.
Recalling the mentor behind Angel, Lafitte silently took a step back. Although Fusa also hated Angel because of Meilaner's incident, he later learned that Meilaner was severely beaten by Angel.
After refusing, the dislike in his heart also decreased a lot.
His true thoughts were the same as Lafitte's, he did not want to offend an enemy with a promising future, even if Angel had not advanced yet.
Lafitte and Fusa had the same mind. 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.
Lafitte picked it up and saw the note saying: Mission failed, a man and a woman were protecting the target person, and the killer died.
The appearance of the man and woman was also described in detail later.
"Nausicaa and Baluba?" Lafitte murmured.
"It's these two people who actually ruined the trap that was finally set up. Damn it!" Hook Dick's eyes were sinister, but he soon burst into laughter: "I know he is not easy to kill, and this is to be expected.
I just want to put more psychological pressure on him. I guess that brat doesn’t even dare to leave the door now, hahahaha!”
"But this also gave me the message that not only Nausicaa's female cousin is helping him, but also Baluba is on his side." Hook Dick curled his lips. Regarding these two people, he
Not afraid at all. Angel still has some scruples and dare not confront him head-on, but these two people have no background! He will be baptized in the soul soil soon. When he comes back, he will punish those who dare to disobey him.
