Chapter 602: Unexpected Stolen Goods
After getting free, in order to take revenge, Claire survived in this city full of malice towards herself with the help of the power of the gem, but the gem can strengthen her body and can create things out of thin air, but the food created by the gem will not feel full even if you eat more, at most you can only deceive your stomach for a short time. In order to survive, Claire needs some money to buy food and supplies, as well as some money to buy some books and materials to learn magic.
Claire has been stealing a lot of shops for a long time, in addition to some special materials needed to learn magic, Claire also stole a lot of cash and valuables that can be used for black market transactions, but after setting fire to the warehouse area, Claire had to give up the way to sell the stolen goods to get money, because there are many strange faces in the black market, Claire is not stupid to know what these people are here for, and knows what the price will be if she continues to take out the stolen goods and sell them.
Valuable magic materials can help one's magic level grow faster, and in terms of money, Claire thinks that it is enough, if it is just to buy food and necessary daily necessities, even if it is enough to sell valuables and steal some cash.
After spending half a day stuffing the various gold and silver jewels that had piled up in the room back into the ring, Claire was already tired and lying on the bed panting.
Claire, who had spent almost a day tidying up her room, knew one thing, if all these gold, silver and jewelry were to be sold, even the blackest stolen goods would be sold for at least hundreds of millions of lien, why would so many treasures be contained in a girl's space ring?
Although there are some doubts, but some things have been delayed a lot today, after resting for a while, Claire opened the magic book and began to study, next to Claire's desk, several magic crystals full of magic power are suspended in mid-air with the support of a magic circle. This kind of magic circle was designed by Claire with the help of the power of gems to analyze the magic carvings on those stone pillars in the free city, which can make the magic power in the magic crystal slowly emanate like incense, so that the mage can enter a state similar to magic meditation while learning magic theory, and has achieved both learning and exercising.
Half an hour laterโโ
Claire sat up and frowned, not because she had encountered any bottlenecks in her studies, but because she always had the face of that girl in her mind during the learning process. Not only that, but there will be some non-dividing thoughts, this is the first time that I have such thoughts!
Involuntarily pinched the gem on her chest, Claire seemed to be able to hear the whisper of temptation as if it came from an unknown realm, and gritted her teeth Claire concentrated on using the power of the gem.
The power in the instant gem increased Claire's mental power to the limit, and under the control of the powerful mental power, all distracting thoughts were expelled from her mind. Claire buried her head and quickly flipped through the spell book, every word, every word, every spell With the help of the gem, Claire almost frantically absorbed all the knowledge needed in the book, and it took at least half an hour to read and understand the content of a page. Claire now flips through a page just every five minutes, learning and understanding six times faster than the average person.
But in less than an hour, Claire let go of the hand that was clenching the gem.
"Huhu โโ Huhu โโ"
Panting for breath, her lungs hurt as if they had been pricked by a needle, Claire involuntarily touched her nose, and a bright red mark involuntarily appeared on her fingers, Claire knew that she had reached her limit at this time.
The power of gems is overwhelmed!
Claire had to pause her studies for a moment and collapsed on the bed, and when the tingling pain in her lungs faded away, a faint headache began to come, based on previous experience. This time, I used it for almost an hour, and I stopped just when the warning signal appeared in my body. Compared with the sequelae, it is only more than ten minutes. The last time she went to copy the information of a magic tower, she spent a full two hours regardless of her physical condition, and after forcing herself back to her hideout, Claire experienced a pain comparable to thousands of tortures, and it took two days for Claire to finally recover.
From then on, the boy swore that he would use the power of the stone with absolute caution, for pain was a small matter, but a mental weakness that accompanied it by pain, and his mind was in a state of confusion, unable to even think rudimentarily. If someone breaks into here at that time, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll really have to be arrested.
Suddenly, Claire's eyes snapped open, and the detection circle she had set up in the waterway warned that someone had broken in.
Turning over and ignoring her still aching head, Claire took the crystal ball on the table and recited a few incantations. Some images emerged.
"โโReally, the smell here is really bad!"
"Be careful paddling, I don't want to fall into the water and become a chicken. โ
Three soldiers in leather armor with the insignia of the City Security Corps are rowing a small boat through the waterway, and one of them is holding an oil lamp for lighting and looking around the waterway, as if searching for something.
Found out here?
This was Claire's first idea, but the boy quickly dismissed it, as the three soldiers were just blindly searching, and from their absent-minded appearances, it was supposed to be just a coincidence that they had broken into the waterway where they were hiding.
"There doesn't seem to be anything here, and there's not even a place for people to stay, so it's impossible for the other party to sleep in the water. โ
"Alright, let's search inside, and if we don't have one, we'll go back. โ
Just as Claire thought, it was true that the other party was just searching blindly and uncertainly, but if they continued to move inside, they would find this abandoned material room. When the time comes, I suddenly find a room in the waterway, and the other party will definitely come in and search for it. It doesn't seem appropriate to kill the other party now, this kind of search is usually arranged by the upper echelons of the security team, and once the searchers do not return, it will definitely attract attention, and there will be more than three people who will come to this waterway to conduct a large-scale search.
Claire quickly walked outside and cast a spell, in order to prevent this from happening, she had already stopped the illusion spell, and the room that had been carved out under the effect of the spell quickly disappeared, replaced by the same aqueduct walls as the surroundings, and it seemed that it was even covered with moss and stains, and there was nothing unusual at all.
Soon the boat passed in front of Claire's eyes, and the three vigilante soldiers did not notice anything unusual.
Relieved, Claire returned to the room, and then the boy felt hungry and took out some bread and meat and hastily ate it, and soon Claire was back to learning magic.
Time flies, until near dusk, Claire finally finished reading the whole book, and Claire has memorized the magic theory in the book, and the next step is to practice. However, when Claire reached out to take a book, she suddenly found that this book was different from previous magic books, the whole cover seemed to be made of some kind of leather, and it felt strange to the touch, and when Claire opened the book, Claire was surprised to find that the contents of the book were not printed, but completely handwritten.
Looking at the dense text and many strange graphics on it, Claire was stunned for a moment, the text on it was not the lingua franca of the mainland, but an unheard of text, and the whole text written with red dye gave people an uncomfortable and ominous feeling.
Frowning, Claire tried to remember, the book seemed to have been stolen by herself in a nice house in the upper floor, the owner of that house seemed to have a strange taste, because Claire saw many specimens in the room, various animal bones, internal organs, and even human skeletons and fetuses soaked in green liquid. At that time, he almost fled without fear, but curiosity overcame fear, after passing through a large iron door in the basement, Claire entered a secret room with a strong smell of blood, and in the center of this secret room there was only a huge red circle like an altar, Claire roughly recognized this as a summoning circle through the magic knowledge she had learned, but it was not clear what exactly was summoned.
Ignoring the strangeness in the secret room, there were many magic books on the shelves in the secret room, and Claire, who was overjoyed, quickly stuffed all the books into the space ring, and now this handwritten book should have been easily retrieved at that time.
"What the hell is written in this?
After learning magic, Claire also knew that some powerful mages would usually write in cipher form or create a script that they would only understand, in order to avoid their knowledge of law from being usurped.
Can't help but look down at the gem hanging around her neck, and finally Claire gritted her teeth and used the power of the gem again despite her body that had not fully recovered, and thousands of knowledge poured into her mind, and in an instant Claire understood the meaning of the words in the book.
"Abyssal language!"
Claire noticed a word pop up in her head, and then the boy whispered the other words that came to mind: "To the Great Fallen Lord, I will make sure to complete your task to make the white swan with broken wings dye her wings blackโโ"
What does this mean? What is the Fallen Lord!?
Claire looked up in bewilderment, then looked down again. (To be continued......)
