A Letter

Angel landed in a mountain ridge outside Gelu Town. Before long, he saw Xius, his red hair wildly flamboyant, appear on the mountain path.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir." Angel lowered his head respectfully.

"Alchemy anomalies have always been grand. Next time you conduct alchemy, it would be best to go out to sea. Otherwise, an alchemist capable of producing an anomaly will easily draw covetous eyes. You do not want Pat Manor to be watched, do you?" Xius's voice was cool and low.
