Chapter 749 The Old Wizard
Sylvia''s POV:
"It''s none of your business..." Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly realized that ir was
testing me.
Exasperated, I gritted my teeth in anger, but just as I was about to say something, he grabbed my
hand and pulled me closer.
"Here we are."
It was not until then that I found myself standing in front of a dpidated cottage. There was a huge
sail hanging in front of the door riddled with intricate runes. On both sides of the door frame, there
were firefly lights.
Suddenly, the wind blew the old wooden door open, revealing a mossy yard and a few giant
puppets sitting under the eaves. The puppets looked like children in different poses; about half as
tall as ir. At first nce, they looked very real.
The sound of crows cawing broke the silence. ir looked up at the crows and then led me inside.
"What was that? Some sort of signal?" I asked curiously.
"Kind of. If there are crows, it means the master is at home." ir went ahead. When he was about
to reach the center of the yard, he suddenly turned around and walked towards me.
I immediately retreated and distanced myself from him, ring at him vigntly. "What are you
doing?"
ir smiled yfully, revealing his white teeth. "Nothing. I just want to tell you that the owner of this
ce is an old wizard named Murray. Apparently, his power is as legendary as his temper. He
doesn''t show himself around ordinary people. However, his greed for money has put him in a great
deal of cooperation with the royal family. We are friends now because I am more generous than
most ordinary people. So don''t worry. Just tell him what you want him to do for you."
"Got it," I replied. At the same time, I took two steps back again to keep a distance from him. I
couldn''t let my guard down around him.
ir seemed like he couldn''t care less about the fact that I tried to keep him at arm''s length as he
continued to lead me inside.
As I was following him into a room, a ferocious dog jumped on me, pinning me down, while a red
crystal ball came at me at an extremely fast speed.
Fortunately, ir was quick to react and he blocked the crystal ball for me before shouting, "Tim!"
All of a sudden, the fierce dog that was growling at me, turned away meekly, wagging its tail at ir
with excitement.
Suddenly, I heard an old man''s voice.
"What are you doing here? You''re the head of the guards in the royal pce! What do you want with
my beloved dog?"

A frail old man in a dark purple robe walked out from behind the curtain. He had his hands sped
behind his back, a pair of ck sunsses resting on the bridge of his nose, and a goatee that
made him appear very unruly.
"Murray, you should be careful! You almost hurt my friend!" ir expressed his anger at the old man
with a narrow-eyed re.
However, the old man Murray seemed angrier than ir. He took off his sunsses to reveal a pair
of sharp eyes and said, "Then, you shouldn''t have brought a ck witch here! I could smell that
cheap hybrid stench on her from a mile away! You know very well that I hate nothing more than
ck witches and I will never change my stance on that matter!"
I swallowed nervously as I stood there in silence. I didn''t think the old man would be so fast to figure
out that I was a ck witch. To make things worse, he pointed it out in front of ir.
Sure enough, upon hearing the old man''s words, ir turned to look at me in pure disbelief. "What?
You are a ck witch?"
Although he was stunned, there was more confusion in his tone. "How could you be a ck witch?
Is this a joke?"
I didn''t know how to react for a moment. This old man had not only figured out that I was a ck
witch before seeing me in person, but he also urately pointed out that I was a hybrid.
At that very moment, his power made me realize that I had found the right person.
