In a month's time, Claire has done a miracle speed in the eyes of the world, but Claire doesn't feel anything to be proud of, because she has always relied on the power of external objects, and if she doesn't have this gem, she is nothing at all. Not to mention avenging Longa, I am afraid that I will die at the hands of the pursuing armed guards that night.

"Elemental perception depends on each mage's own personality, but those with strong magic power can forcibly drive the six elements with magical power┉┉Daily meditation helps mages gather more elements in casting spells, and the same level of magic in the hands of mages with different magic powers, the power released is also different┉┉"

Claire nibbled on dry bread as she browsed through magic books, gems can allow you to quickly learn high-level spells, but the basic theory must not be wasted, otherwise even if you learn high-level magic, you will not have enough magic power to cast it. Unless you use the power of the gem to strengthen yourself, but if you use your own physique a few times, you will be destroyed by the power of the gem like Longa.

Learning, Claire almost forgot about time and space, and every time Claire would get back a lot of food and water, unless she ran out of food or needed new spell knowledge, Claire would go out to collect something and come back.

"In addition to meditation, some high-grade potions can also speed up the growth of the mage's magic power┉┉Hmm~" When she reached into the bag and grabbed a piece of bread, Claire found that the food had been emptied.

After stopping her studies, Claire sorted out the empty bread bag and some garbage and took it to the open space outside the room, and with a light incantation, a fist-sized fireball appeared in Claire's hand, threw the fireball into the garbage and began to burn. Claire returned to her room and put her mask back on, taking out a small cloth bag from a drawer.

"Longa ~ I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon. ”

Even if you know that the orc's skull will never be able to answer you. But Claire habitually greets every time she goes out and returns, because if she doesn't, Claire feels that her spirit will surely collapse because of loneliness and pain.

It was already late at night when she came to the ground, Claire wore a trench coat and a mask and walked cautiously on the path, she didn't want to meet the patrolling City Watch, whether she had committed a crime or not, she was either an assassin or a thief in the middle of the night, and once she was caught by the guards, she would definitely be beaten up and thrown into the prison. Then you have to wait for someone to ransom someone to get out, and if no one takes money to ransom someone, then you need to be in a prison for a few days as a living sandbag.

Walking along the path to the lower area to the west of the city, after turning a small road, Claire came to the entrance of a laneway guarded by a few people who looked like thugs, and watched Claire in a cloak walk over, and the gangsters who were chatting stood up and watched cautiously. Claire also walked up to several people, took out a hundred rien, and stuffed it into the hands of one of them.

"Grandpa Bayiti. ”

After saying a code, a few thugs nodded and looked around to make sure that there were no outsiders, and several thugs immediately opened the door and gestured to Claire to hurry in.

Claire didn't say much and walked straight in, the whole alleyway was pitch black, only sporadic lights barely illuminated a little of the direction of the road like ghost fire, in this almost dazzling darkness, Claire walked in the labyrinth of alleys. When you enter the deeper part of the roadway, the lights gradually turn on. There are also more and more pedestrians on the road. It's just that most of the pedestrians here are strong men with hideous faces, or thin and short people with treacherous faces. Of course, faint female gasps and male roars were constantly heard in some of the dimly lit huts on either side of the house, and some prostitutes in translucent gauze skirts or directly half-naked stood in front of the door scratching their heads at every man who passed by.

"Which little brother, don't you come to my sister's place to play?"

"It looks like your body is very tense, maybe I can let you relax. ”

Ignoring the prostitute's call, Claire, who appeared to be small in the crowd, walked straight forward. This is a dark street in the Free City, as the name suggests, it is a gathering place for criminals and smugglers, and here it shows another dark side of the Free City. As long as you have money, you can buy anything here, including forbidden drugs, weapons, women, and even children. At the same time, there are many acquisition shops here. Accept the purchase and sale of a qiē stolen goods.

After coming to a shop, Claire kicked away the drunkard who was sleeping at the door of the shop, and when she walked into the shop, the gray-haired old man immediately put down the things in his hand, and saw that Claire came here, and immediately put on a flattering smile and greeted: "It's been a long time, Master Mage, are you still here to sell something today?"

Claire didn't answer, just blindly took off the cloth bag and poured out the contents: "How much is it worth?"

The old man gasped, and what Claire poured out was a few gold coins plus some jewels, the largest of which was a sapphire that cost at least tens of thousands of miles outside. These are nothing, the most exciting thing is to take three high-grade magic crystals that exude magical brilliance, and the price of these three magic crystals alone is probably worth about 100,000 miles.

"I'm sorry, please wait a minute, I'll help you estimate the price right away. As he spoke, the old man took out his glasses, put them on, and began to examine them carefully.

Claire was also anxious and sat on the chair next to her very casually. The old man looked very carefully, after all, if the jewelry is low, it is good, but if it is high, it is definitely a loss-making transaction, and while looking at the old man, he calculated the price with a pen. At this time, the door of the shop was pushed open again, and a tall mercenary walked in with two thin men, who took out some small bits and pieces, mainly rings, gold coins, medals, and other things, piled them on the table, apparently to sell the stolen goods.

"Wait a minute, I'll help this gentleman finish reading it first. ”

The three of them nodded, but instantly noticed what the old man was checking, especially when they saw those beautiful jewels and the three magic crystals, the eyes of the three of them suddenly showed a greedy gaze. It's probably good to know that these small bits and pieces can be exchanged for more than 10,000 rien, but that pile of jewelry, especially the three magic crystals, is worth at least more than 100,000.

Suddenly, a thin man noticed Claire, who was sitting on the side, and for a moment the man recalled some news from the free city recently, several jewelry stores and magic shops under the Chamber of Commerce were stolen one after another, and the criminals' methods of crime were very abnormal, leaving no traces at the scene at all, and even the protective circle in the store did not play any role, and the security team in the city recently even issued a reward of 50,000 miles to collect clues to solve the case.

It can't be this guy, right?

This thought flashed through the man's mind, after all, the only people who went to the dark street to buy things were stolen goods, and the cases during this time also specially marked that there were many expensive high-grade magic crystals that had been stolen, and now it was not the magic crystals in front of him?

Through magic learning and meditation, Claire's perception has also increased a lot, and the man's gaze is instantly perceived, and even Claire can judge what is going on in the other party's heart.

At this time, the old man also finished estimating the price, because the price was too high, and the old man first put the things in the safe, and then motioned for Claire to come behind the counter.

150,000 miles!

The old man gave this price, and Claire nodded indifferently, in fact, if Claire was willing to bargain, she might be able to get more. But for Claire, who was originally here to sell the stolen goods, it doesn't matter if she has less or more, after all, she is not short of money now, and the money is only used for exchange for intelligence.

The old man was naturally very happy about Claire's refreshment, and quickly took out the cash and handed it to Claire.

When Claire pushed open the door and left, a sneaky shadow also ran out of the stolen goods store pù and quietly followed Claire, looking at Claire's short size, the man pulled out the dagger at his waist and was already thinking about waiting until a place where there were not many people to make a big deal. If you get it, the cash of the other party's body should be enough for you to play happily for a long time.

After following halfway and finding that the target in front of him began to turn into an alleyway, the man was overjoyed, as a person who has lived in the black street for more than ten years, the man knew very well that the alley in front of him was rarely in and out, and it was a good place for forcible X, robbery, and murder.

He immediately followed, and after turning the corner, the man was stunned, because the alleyway was empty. The target he was tracking seemed to have disappeared into the alleyway.

"Damn! No way┉┉ He did turn around!"

Just when the man was scolding, suddenly he found that there was a dazzling light source on his left side, and before he could turn his head to see what this light source was, the light source moved instantly and entered the man's mouth. The severe pain caused by the burning instantly swept through his mind, and the man passed out almost instantly because of the pain, but the burning did not end, but became more and more hot, so that the brain that had just activated the 'coma' protection mechanism was active again, and the man had no time to scream, and flames began to erupt from his mouth, nose, ears and eyes, and his whole head was like a burning scarecrow, and immediately turned into charcoal.

When the air began to smell mush, the man snorted on the ground. Claire stepped out of the shadows at this moment, watching the man who fell to the ground bend down and untie his waist bag and take the few hundred rien inside, and by the way, the dagger also became a trophy, and then Claire picked up his pace again and quickly left the place of the incident.
