" Of course, as the chief of the city, I care about the people living at the bottom of the society," the chief said with a smile." I have prepared some gold coins so that these people living at the bottom can eat their fill.‘Mr. Tomcat, are you satisfied with this?”
" As a thief, of course I'm satisfied, but…"
"Puff!"
" Old Cat " suddenly raised its hand and nailed something to the wall behind Mr. Bug Envoy. Then, there was a series of banging sounds as if many huge iron plates had wrapped around the room. The magic lights around them suddenly went out and the room fell into darkness.
"But, I'm a Thief.”With this voice, the magic lights in the room lit up again. Mr. Bug Envoy didn't move, and the two people on the sofa were still unconscious. Old Cat was still standing beside the vase, but there was something in his hand. It was the necklace.
"The Dark Gem, what a beautiful gem. I think most noble ladies will be attracted by its charm, right? However, the biggest use of this thing should be to open the spatial barrier. If it was a gem with a positioning spell, then its effect would be even more powerful.”" Old Cat " flipped his hand, and the necklace disappeared." This room has been completely isolated. The outside is a sealing isolation board specially made by our Thieves 'Union. I can't tell you what it's made of, but it can definitely isolate all physics and magic.”
After a pause, Old Cat continued,""From what you said just now, we thought you were controlling Lewis's body from a distance. Maybe it was magic? But now it seems that it isn't because you still have control over Mr. Shi Chang. I can still see this. Connecting your name, Insect Envoy, in other words, there is an insect in our sh * t Mr. Chang's stomach?”
Mr. Bug Envoy didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to look at the wall behind him. There was a silk mask nailed to the wall with a dagger. This was the symbol of the Thieves 'Union. Then, he turned to look at the two people on the sofa and asked,"You guys already knew?"
"Yes, we already knew about it, but we did not warn Seth.”Old Cat sighed and said," It's not that I didn't warn you. Otherwise, Seth wouldn't have entered the city that day. However, in order to find your whereabouts, Seth sacrificed himself without hesitation because he knew that it was impossible to guard against you. Only by seizing the opportunity to eliminate you in one go could the continent be less turbulent.”
"We lost this time." Upon hearing " Old Cat "'s words," Mr. Bug Envoy " said in a carefree manner," I believe that the Black Knight will definitely be ambushed by you. The funny thing is that for the sake of so-called secrecy, I can't even warn him. However, you won't get anything from me." Also, Old Cat, I'll remember you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader fell to the ground and began to twitch. As he twitched, a disgusting bug crawled out of his ear and was quickly put into a glass bottle by Old Cat. Not long after, the chief no longer twitched, but he was no longer breathing.
The next morning, at the gates of Lattes City.
"If it wasn't for Old Cat, I would have gone with you.”Bruno said dejectedly.
" Come on." Seth pursed his lips." What are you not satisfied with being the Shadow Thief's disciple?"”
"That's true!" Bruno pretended to be enlightened, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed fake...
"Forget it. You should think of a way to get rid of Old Cat's abilities as soon as possible so that you can come and help us.”Seth said with a smile.
"Help you? You mean…"
"Yes, we have already decided. After this incident, we will become mercenaries and follow in our parents 'footsteps as we explore the continent. However, we are still lacking a good Thief.”Seth said.
"Alright, I won't make you wait too long.”Bruno said with a smile.
After saying goodbye, we left Lattes with the members of the Thieves 'Union. In the forest not far from the city, a few mages were waiting there. They were in charge of teleporting us to the Mage Tower. After all, those black-armored soldiers had already set off. If we were to walk, everything would be cold by the time we arrived.
The light of magic flashed, and the scene in front of him changed. This seemed to be a stone room, and under his feet was a magic array drawn with an unknown material. There were no magic lights here, which seemed to be to avoid magic interference.
At this moment, a mage walked in from outside. She was very young, probably about our age. She had long light brown hair, and although her violet robe was simple, it was very appropriate. The young mage bowed slightly and said to us,"" Dear guests who have come from afar, welcome to the Magus Tower. Please follow me. The teachers are already waiting for you in the meeting room.”
The members of the Thieves 'Union walked in a single file. Seth and I followed behind. Neither of us spoke until we arrived at a huge door. The young mage seemed to have used some kind of magic, and the door opened automatically. Inside the door was a very spacious hall. A long table was placed in the middle of the hall, and many mages were sitting around the table. They were generally older, but there were also some very young mages. However, these young mages were sitting at the end of the table, so they must have a lower status.
"Welcome, elites of the Thieves 'Union.”After we entered the hall, the door behind us closed automatically. A grandfather-level mage sitting at the head of the table said," Thank you for the message from the Thieves 'Union. At the same time, thank you for your support. Our Magus Tower has entered a state of being relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside. If the target appears, we will definitely let them feel the anger of the mages.”
These words seemed to be just small talk. The mages who thought they were high and mighty still looked down on the thieves, but the thieves didn't care. They quietly listened to the mages discuss how to defend. I really don't know how long these old fellows have lived. It was originally a very simple matter, but they discussed it for an entire day. Fortunately, before the sun set, they finally finished discussing it. We can also leave this place.
"You…are Seth's son?" Before we left, a young female mage called out to Seth. The mage who brought us here was behind her. It seemed like he was her disciple or someone close to her.
" Yes, may I know who you are?" Seth asked politely.
"I'm Christina. I once went on an adventure with your father.”Then, she turned her head and asked me,"Looking at this lady's attire, she should be Onola's daughter?”
"Yes." I replied politely.
"I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. The children have already grown up.”Christina sighed. Then, she introduced the mage behind her."This is Alice, my daughter, a water element mage. During this period of time in the Magus Tower, you should get to know each other.”
With that, Christina left, leaving the three of us standing there awkwardly.
"I'll bring you to your accommodation first.”Alice was the first to break the awkwardness. She gestured and led the way. Seth and I exchanged a glance before following her out of the mage tower.
Although it was called a mage tower, it was not just a tower. Perhaps there was only one tower here? However, mages also needed to eat, drink, and live. As time passed, villages appeared around the magic tower, and then they became cities. Other than the people who provided services to the Magus Tower, there were also many residents who did not have the right to live in the residences of the Magus Tower. After all, the Magus Tower was only that big, and there were more than 2,000 mages in the Magus Tower.
The place Alice wanted to take us to was her home. This was only her home. Her mother, Christina, lived in the Mage Tower. The level of mages was very strict. If one did not reach the corresponding level, even if they were mother and daughter, they could only live separately.
Alice's home was a small two-story building. The first floor was the reception room and dining room, the second floor was the bedroom, and there was a meditation room and laboratory in the basement. Since there was only one guest room here, Mr. Seth had to sleep on the sofa in the living room. However, Mr. Seth wouldn't object.
" You actually have an icon here? I heard that all mages are…" I asked in confusion when I saw the icon in the niches in the living room.
"Yes, most mages don't believe in the God of Light. They only believe in the elements. But I do. If my mother wasn't a mage, I think I might have become a nun like you.”Alice explained with a smile.
Everyone was hungry. As the host, Alice declined my help and began to prepare dinner. After a short while, a dinner that wasn't rich but was nutritious and tasted quite good appeared on the table. It seemed that this young mage was quite good at taking care of herself.
After dinner, everyone naturally introduced themselves and got to know each other through chatting. Since we were all young people of the same age, we quickly became friends.
" Lina, I've been wanting to ask for a long time. I don't feel any magic fluctuations on your cane. This seems to be a..." Alice finally asked the question in her heart after she let down her guard.
"You're right. This is actually a wooden stick.”I shrugged.
" I see..." Alice thought for a moment and said,""I still have a few magic staffs for practice. Why don't you give it a try?”
"Thank you, but it's fine." I smiled as I replied," I don't need a staff to cast my divine spells, and the wooden stick in my hand isn't actually a staff. I'm pretty good at staff skills!”
"S-staff technique? Are you a monk?" Alice asked in surprise.
"That's not it." I smiled and said," We're walking nuns. Years of walking tells us that there are many things that divine spells can't do. As women, we need other means of self-defense. This staff technique is one of them.”
