"Then I met your Marquis," Olivia's voice quickly softened, she pinched the corner of her skirt nervously, and directly skipped the part where she met Iss: "After that, I stayed in the Elven Continent for five months, during which my brother was unable to send anyone to send me because of the stalemate of the war. It wasn't until four months ago that the church sent a new man that he asked for leave from Captain Boswell. ”

"In other words, you haven't been 'sick' again in those five months, have you?"

Through the ring, Iss knew that Olivia had been normal until she ran away from home again three days ago, and her other personality named Zilan had not appeared, which was obviously not normal.

"Yes, it does."

Rubbing the sapphire ring on her right index finger, Olivia smiled a smile that could be described as happiness, but that smile quickly faded at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Clive, who was sitting behind the counter, took a drag on his cigarette and gave a look of pity in his eyes.

From the moment Olivia entered the door, he noticed this outstanding-looking little girl. Of course, this is not because he has any unsavory habits, but if his daughter hadn't died, he would have grown up to her age.

Seeing the man beckoning to him later, Clive shook off the ash of his cigarette and walked around from behind the counter. He glanced quickly at the table, and there was nothing but the beer the girl had ordered at the beginning.

"Three copper coins, thank you."

Copper coins are the smallest unit of denomination in circulation within this world, and for Olivia, her monthly pocket money is calculated in gold coins, so these three copper coins are like a drizzle to her. But she looked away from Clive looking at her in embarrassment, and a layer of crimson gradually appeared on her neck, which was exposed to her clothes.

"That...... Can you help me pay the bill first, and I'll pay it back to you when I get home. ”

“……”

It seemed understandable that men were paying for women, and Clive turned to Ish. The latter groaned for a moment, and finally found a fist-sized core out of nowhere and placed it in the palm of Clive's hand.

"No need to look for it."

“…… Thank you, thank you. ”

For Is, the lowest value in his jade is none other than these third-level magic cores used to make teleportation arrays in batches, and instead of wasting energy to conjure copper coins, it is better to take ready-made ones.

Feel the surging magical energy in the core, Blake. Clive swallowed hard, and after making sure that Iss didn't need his change, he walked back in a daze.

"My goodness, that's too generous...... Could he be the child of some archmage? ”

No wonder Clive thinks so, in his impression, only the archmage of the Truth Society can have this kind of skill, but looking at Is's age, even if he is a genius, he will not be able to reach the height of an archmage, and the only explanation is that he is a descendant of a certain archmage.

For some reason, Clive didn't want to be involved with the Spellheart, so he quickly returned to his room in the backyard of the tavern with the core, intending to lock it in a cupboard along with his previous belongings.

The low room was unusually rudimentary, except for a bed and a table, and only the wooden cabinet against the wall was barely furniture.

Clive walked over to the cabinet and crouched down, opened the door and quickly touched the side of the cabinet with his hand.

The unique aura of magic shone on his only remaining eye, and no one could have imagined that the tavern owner who earned three five copper coins a day from Kuhaha would actually be a noble official mage!

Memories of the past came flooding back, Clive smiled bitterly, he never thought that one day he would lift the hidden magic pattern for this reason, he thought ......

“…… Well? ”

What's going on, my staff?!!!

After removing the magic pattern, the cabinet was still empty, and the most thing was why a rat crawled in here!

The "mouse" in the cabinet slipped out of Clive's feet at lightning speed, and before leaving, it seemed to think of something, and quickly turned back.

At this time, Clive's whole person fell into the cabinet, impossible, this is impossible, there is no trace of human destruction of the magic pattern, who found him and took his staff??

Clive felt like he was going crazy, but he suddenly felt a pain in his hand......

"Ahh He screamed in pain, and Is's core fell off his hand, and before he could react, the "mouse" quickly hid the core in his stomach pocket, kicked his hind legs on his arm, and quickly ran out of the room.

If Clive didn't know who stole his staff, he would have lived in vain. A rapid spell came out of his mouth, and unlike any known elemental magic, a hand bone suddenly stretched out from the soft yellow clay ground, and the volley grabbed the screaming thief.
