Wizards are of two types. The first type is the one, who lives in the tower made for wizards. These towers can be found in every country and all the towers are united into one group. The second type is the one who are not bounded by the tower, and works for the people like mercenaries. The first type is the dominant one, very few wizards can be seen who doesn't work for the tower. It is so because people are still prejudice to the wizards and the wizards feel more comfortable in a place where only people like them belong. To learn wizardry, you have to get trained in the tower. The tower is the only place where everything related to wizardry is taught. So, even if you do not work for tower, if you do something wrong using mana power, the tower is somehow held responsible and they can punish you in their own method. Their punishment is so gruesome that rarely cases like those had been reported .
Khleis was eighteen years old when he left the tower.His wizardry is on the level nine. There are few wizards on this level. So he has a quite a demand in the market. He has only three desires in his life, that is money, money and money. But he also has his own principles, he never takes money from poor people who really needs his help. He may look rough and tough from outside, but is actually a softie. Back when he was a child, he had a little sister. They were poor but happy. But it all changed after her sick sister died on his lap due to lack of money. From that day, he chases money blindly but he never spends all of it on himself. He runs an orphanage. The thing which he could not do for her, he wants to do for the children present there.
"Sir Alex, you wait outside the office. From here on I will be on my own. " Anne prepared a detailed document on her proposal. Previously no wizards have been interested in inventing womanly things like make-up. It was really unconventional idea so she was a bit nervous.
When she entered Khleis's office she could not help herself from being mesmerised by the beautiful decoration done with glasses there. It was like a piece of art that is hung in the antique museum. 'I have never seen such a pretty office. ' Just when she was staring at the ceiling, she felt like something crawling at her feet. When she glanced at her feet, she was shocked. It was a big black snake, something she saw only in movies in her previous life. She started having cold sweat, she could not even scream to call Alex or else it would bite her. 'It's too big... I can not even pull out my dagger. ' Slowly , slowly it started crawling upward and gripping her harder. Her heart started beating loudly. Her mind was getting completely blank.
' Even if I have healing power, if this snake gobble me up, I would be dead for sure. ' She started looking around and just then a thought came in her mind. 'How can such a big snake possibly come into his office? Is it some kind of mind illusion wizardry? '
She closed her eyes and calmly spoke aloud, " Khleis, I know you are here. Just stop this dumb shit and come in front of me. "
" Oh my! I have been found out so quickly. " The snake suddenly disappeared just like how it came. A thousand butterfly few in front of her and from there appeared Khleis.
Mind illusion wizardry is not done by everyone. It takes very minute precision and many wizards have claimed that sometimes you can also get trap into it if not handled properly. Being on level nine, Khleis does not have to worry about those things. Anne did not know before coming here that Khleis was actually a mastar in this sort of wizardry. He is also known as the "Mastar of the Illusions" in the tower.
She narrowed her eyes at him like she was measuring him. " Your skills are really not a matter of joke. Do you want to work for me? "
He slightly titled his head and with a spooky smile he asked, " And what possibly work I can do for
you? "
She then gave the documents that she prepared all these days. After reading all the papers, he frowned at her. " What possibly can I earn from this meagre things? I only do works that can give me lot of cash... "
Before he could complete his sentence, she put five pouches full of gold coins infront of him. " Just take it as an advance, after completion you will get more. Do not tell me that you are still not satisfied. "
He smirked . " You seem quite loaded. Well I do not think any less from the lady of Frostwood Duchy. "
She smacked her hand at the table and asked, " Will you be doing it or not just answer me. "
"Yes, yes. Rest assured. "
