Chapter 306 The Thief
Arrow frowned and said slowly, "But your magic element ......"
"What magical elements, these are only temporary."
Margaux looked unconcerned, and walked very simply towards the outside of the training roomβ
"Even though I don't know how to use the light magic in my body, I've consulted some people. There was an old witch who worked when I was a child, and she didn't have any magical affinities, but she made some money by being cheated and abducted. However, I heard her say that she also had a magical affinity a long time ago, but after getting married, the magical affinity on her body will gradually disappear. β
Arrow nodded and said, "That's true, and that's why Old Tengshu's magic department doesn't recruit female magic apprentices. The fact that magic disappears with age and marriage is even written into the preface of some elementary magic books. β
Margaux snorted heavily: "In other words, what if a woman like us has a magical affinity? I'm 19 years old this year, so I'm past the age when I should get married, right? If you think about it, my magic will decline rapidly in the next few years. In that case, why should I use my powers? I'd like to see if my face and figure don't attract guests first, or if my magic fades first. Now it seems that there is a slight chance that the light magic will disappear first. β
Having said that, Arrow knew that even if he said anything, this woman should not have any feelings.
Seeing that she had already walked out of the training room, Airo could only sigh helplessly, turned his head to look at the staff of light on the wall behind him, shook his head again, and then walked out of the room.
Outside the door, Napa was seen hovering there.
The cat watched Margaux slowly depart, and looked back at Eero again.
"It seems that your words don't work sometimes."
Arrow scratched the back of his head and frowned, "I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to do this. Judging from the current situation, the unstable factors of her person are far greater than the stable factors. β
Napa landed on Arrow's head and lay on her stomach, "So, are you still going to give up?" β
There is no way, no matter how powerful a bomb is, if the detonator of this bomb is completely out of his control, it will only be a scourge to stay in the guild.
Helpless, Arrow said slowly: "I didn't want to, how about her magic element affinity?" β
Napa nodded, "Very strong." At least the most powerful affinity of the Light Magic Elemental of the strongest humans I've ever seen. In my time, if there was such a powerful magical affinity, it would have been sent to the church from birth, and then the church should have been studied since childhood, and cultivated in the direction of the saint. β
Saint...... Yes......
Arrow's eyes closed slightly, imagining Margaux as a saint...... Well...... Lewd (harmonious) saint, right? No matter how you look at it, you feel that this church is completely finished.
"It's a shame...... There's no way, I can't let feelings cloud my judgment. She was so unstable that I had no choice but to give up. β
Napa's tail wagged slightly, and she didn't seem to disagree with the idea. It lay down on Arrow's head and said slowly, "And how much more time are you going to give her?" β
Arrow exhaled, "She can't stay in our guild forever, and her presence has already made everyone unhappy. Well...... About three days. In three days or so, I'll give her two gold coins, and wherever she goes, it's up to her to choose. β
If it weren't for the last resort, Arrow really didn't want to make this decision.
But now that the decision has been made, there is no way to do it.
Three days, and the last three days.
After three days, the Mermaid's Song will return to its former tranquility. And the things that he's been worrying about all day long will also shift from this woman to how to make money.
Originally, that's what he thought.
ββββ
The time is almost up.
The moonlight outside the window shone in, and the whole Pelican Town became silent at this moment.
Staying in her room, curled up in bed, Margaux knew she didn't have much time left.
She's not an idiot.
The short man looked very disdainful of herself, but she knew very well that she was not a person who did not know how to read words and feelings.
Living in the red light district since she was a child has long made her understand what other people's eyes, words, and actions mean.
If anything, the hint given by the Mermaid Song President is already obvious. If it's for the sake of your last decency, then you should find a time to take the initiative to leave.
In this case, you may be able to get a few gold coins from the president's hand as travel expenses.
So...... Are you really leaving?
Margaux looked up at the room.
The largest room, the one that made her lose everything in just a few minutes.
All the money, all the self-esteem, all the reserve and persistence, all were crushed in an instant.
Once, she thought she had become very powerful.
His words and deeds can influence the aristocracy, and his soft voice can coax those who have power to bow down to him.
But these things that thought they were powerful were so fragile, as fragile as a wall made of sugar. It seems indestructible, but even a small child can lick it down.
In the same way, the woman knew what the president was trying to say.
But her self-esteem did not allow it.
She can't accept that her vulnerable side is exposed to that president like this, if she really stays here, then who knows what that president will do to herself in the future because of her vulnerability?
What do men do once they grasp a woman's weaknesses?
Such cases have been seen countless times as early as the red light district.
If she really wants to say what she learned from this incident, then it can only be said that she really understands one thing-
Never rely on a man completely! Even if that man seems to love you now, it must not!
It's a pity, as a kiln sister, she should have understood this truth a long time ago. But she found that she didn't fully understand until this moment.
Money...... It's all gone.
Next, do you want to earn it again?
Yes, I can only start earning again.
Start from scratch, sell all the way, and then go all the way to the big cities, preferably to the capital. There are a lot of people there, and the speed of making money on your own should be a little faster. Only this time we must remember that we must not be carried away by a momentary favor again! Stay calm at all times!
Having made up her mind, the girl began to pack all her belongings.
Before Count Eagle left, almost all of her jewelry had been looted, except for this pearl necklace that still wore around her neck.
In addition, there are some clothes, but I don't have a package at hand, so it can only be cumbersome to carry so many clothes......
But on second thought, I may really need these clothes when I work in the future, and if I sell them, they should be worth some money.
Thinking of this, Margaux gritted her teeth, took all her clothes out of the cabinet and threw them on the bed, wrapped them in a knot with a mattress, and carried them hard.
The longer she spent in this spacious room, the more she felt cold.
But after walking out of the room, she involuntarily turned her head to look at the room.
After leaving here...... I'm afraid I'll have to eat and sleep in the open for a long time. I really didn't expect that this kind of day of eating the last meal and not knowing where the next meal would befall me again......
Thinking of this, Margaux couldn't help but weigh his package and tiptoe down the stairs.
The whole guild is silent, and the people in Mermaid Song should all be asleep by now, right?
After descending the stairs safely, Margaux exhaled carefully.
She lifted her head and glanced at the cat house, and after making sure that the cat was now curled up in the room sleeping and had not woken up, she licked her lips and tiptoed to the counter.
Bending over, she began to rummage under the counter.
This is also the reason why she plans to say goodbye without saying goodbye, instead of taking you a gold coin or two, of course, it is more convenient and faster to take all your possessions!
But this idea was quickly frustrated in the face of facts.
After searching for a long time, Margaux found that there was no cabinet for money under the counter, except for some account books and props used for adventure.
(Isn't that right?) I saw that the short man put the money here, right? οΌ
After searching for a long time, I finally confirmed that there was not a single gold coin here.
In desperation, Margaux could only get up with a frown, looking a little overwhelmed.
(By the way, this short guy must have been guarding against me stealing, so he hid the locker with money!) Damn, what now? Go back to your room and wait for him to pay severance? οΌ
Unwilling emotions suddenly surged into Margaux's heart, and in the midst of frowning, this girl suddenly thought of something! She turned her head sharply, her eyes fixed on the back of the hall!
Soon, she reached the door of the training room.
The door to the training room was unlocked, so it looked like the short man needed to use a weapon in case of an emergency, so he didn't lock it.
But it's convenient for Margaux.
She pushed the door open and cautiously walked over, opening her palms. With the light emanating from her palm, she quickly came to the staff of light, a wicked smile on her lips.
(Don't let me touch it, don't let me take it, I'll just take your staff!) With this stuff, I might be able to disguise myself as a clergyman to cheat some money along the way. When you get to the big city, you might be able to sell this staff for a few gold coins, right? οΌ
As soon as he thought of it, Margaux immediately reached out and held the staff tightly!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Staff of Light, without any reaction.
After gently lifting the staff, Margaux could not hide the excitement in her heart. But she covered her mouth anyway, quickly opened the window next to the training room, and turned into the alley outside. Under the cover of night, she carried the staff in her hand and the package on her back, quickly blending into the darkness.
