After gaining freedom, in order to take revenge, Claire relied on the power of gems to survive in this city that was full of malice towards her. However, gems can strengthen her body and create things out of thin air, but no matter how much food she eats, she will not be able to survive. You won't feel full. 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 for learning magic.
Claire has been stealing from many stores 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. However, Claire had to give up after she set fire to the warehouse district. She wanted to get money by selling stolen goods, because many unfamiliar faces had appeared in the black market. Claire was not stupid enough to know what these people were here for, and she also knew what the price would be if she continued to sell the stolen goods.
Precious magic materials can help your magic level grow faster, but in terms of money, Claire thinks that it is enough. If you only buy food and necessary daily necessities, stealing some cash is enough even if you don't sell valuables.
After spending half a day stuffing all kinds of gold and silver jewelry that filled the entire room back into the rings, Claire was already tired and lying on the bed panting.
Claire, who spent almost a day tidying up the room, knew one thing. If all these gold and silver jewelry were sold, even the most sinister shop selling stolen goods would cost at least hundreds of millions of lien. Why were so many treasures sold? Installed in a girl’s space ring
Although she had doubts, some things today have been delayed a lot. After resting for a while, Claire opened the magic book and started studying. Beside Claire's desk, several magic crystals full of magic were being used in a spell. Suspended in mid-air with the support of the magic circle, this magic circle was designed by Claire using the power of gems to analyze the magic carvings on the stone pillars in the Free City. It can make the magic power in the magic crystal slowly emit like smoke. The fragrance is like a fragrance, allowing the mage to enter a state similar to magic meditation while learning magic theory, achieving both learning and exercise.
Half an hour later┉┉
Claire sat up and frowned. It's not that I encountered any bottleneck in my studies, but that the girl's face always appeared in my mind during the study process. Not only that, but it was also accompanied by some unreasonable thoughts, for the first time! This is the first time that I have had such a thought!
He pinched the gem on his chest involuntarily. Claire seemed to still be able to hear seductive whispers that seemed to come from an unknown realm. Claire gritted her teeth and concentrated on using the power of the gem.
The power in the instant gem increased Claire's mental power to the limit. Under the control of the powerful mental power, all distracting thoughts were eliminated from her mind. Claire lowered her head and quickly flipped through the spell book. Every word, every word, and every spell was with the help of gems. Claire has an almost photographic memory and crazily absorbs all the useful knowledge in the book. It used to take at least half an hour to read and understand the content of a page, but now Claire only flips through a page every five minutes, and the learning speed is as fast as The ability to understand is six times faster than that of ordinary people.
But within an hour of this situation, Claire let go of the hand holding the gem.
"Huhu┉┉Huhu┉┉"
Panting heavily, her lungs hurt as if they were being pricked by needles. Claire couldn't help but touch her nose, and a bright red mark appeared on her fingers. At this moment, Claire knew she had reached her limit.
The price of excessive use of the power of gems!
Claire had to stop studying temporarily and fell on the bed. When the stinging pain in her lungs gradually disappeared, it was replaced by a weak headache, based on past experience. This time I used it for almost an hour, and stopped when my body just showed warning signs. Compared with the after-effects, it only lasted for more than ten minutes. The last time I went to copy information on a magic tower, I spent a full two hours regardless of my physical condition. After forcing myself to return to her hiding place, Claire experienced a pain comparable to thousands of tortures. It took two days of torture before Claire finally recovered.
From then on, the boy vowed to use the power of this stone with caution, because pain is a trivial matter, but the pain is accompanied by mental weakness, and his mind is in chaos and he cannot even do basic thinking. If someone was there at that time If you break into this place, I'm afraid you will really be captured without mercy.
Suddenly Claire's eyes opened suddenly. The detection array he arranged in the waterway issued a warning that someone had broken into the place.
Turning over, ignoring her still aching head, Claire took the crystal ball on the table and chanted a few spells, and some pictures emerged.
"┉┉It's true. The smell here is so bad!"
"Be careful when rowing. I don't want to fall into the water and become a drowned rat."
On the screen, three soldiers wearing leather armor and bearing the emblem of the city's security force were rowing a small boat in the waterway. One of the soldiers was holding an oil lamp for lighting and looking around the waterway, seemingly searching for something.
Have you been discovered here
This was Claire's first idea, but the boy quickly rejected this idea. From the picture, it seemed that the three soldiers were just searching blindly. And judging from their absent-minded appearance, they probably just accidentally broke into the waterway where they were hiding.
"There seems to be nothing here, and there's not even a place for him to stay. There's no way he's sleeping in the water."
"Okay, let's search it inside. If it's not there, go back."
Just as Claire thought, the other party was indeed just searching blindly and uncertainly, but if they continued to move in, they would find this originally abandoned material room. When you suddenly find a room in the waterway, the other party will definitely come in and search for it. It seems inappropriate to kill the opponent now. This kind of search is usually arranged by the top of the security team. Once the search personnel do not return, it will definitely attract attention. By then, more than three people will come to this waterway to conduct a large-scale search. Personal.
Claire quickly walked outside and cast a spell. She had already used the illusion spell to prevent this from happening. Under the influence of the spell, the room that was originally dug out quickly disappeared and was replaced by the same water channel walls as the surrounding ones. It was dazzling. It even looked like it was covered with moss and stains, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Soon the boat passed in front of Claire's eyes, and the three security team soldiers found nothing unusual.
Claire breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the room. Only then did the boy feel hungry. He casually took out some bread and dried meat and ate hastily. Soon Claire devoted himself to learning magic again.
Time flew by, until near dusk Claire finally finished reading the entire book. Claire had memorized the magic theory in the book, and the next step was to practice it. However, when Claire reached out to pick up a book, she suddenly discovered that this book was different from previous magic books. The cover of the entire book seemed to be made of some kind of leather, and it felt strange to the touch. When she opened it, After reading the book, Claire was surprised to find that the content in the book was not printed, but completely handwritten.
Looking at the dense text and many weird graphics on it, Claire was stunned for a moment. The text above was not the common language on the continent, but an unheard of text. The entire text was written with red dye. An uncomfortable and foreboding feeling.
Claire frowned and tried to think back. It seemed that she had sneaked into a nice house in the upper area and stolen this book. The owner of that house seemed to have some weird tastes, because Claire saw many specimens in the room, all kinds of Animal bones, internal organs, and even human skeletal specimens and fetuses soaked in green liquid. At that time, she almost ran away without being frightened, but her curiosity defeated her fear. After passing through a large iron door in the basement, Claire entered a secret room with a strong smell of blood. There was only an altar in the center of the secret room. It was the same huge red magic circle. Claire could roughly identify it as a summoning magic circle through the magic knowledge she had learned, but it was not clear what exactly it was summoning.
Ignoring the weirdness in the secret room, there were many magic books on the bookshelves in the secret room. Claire, who was overjoyed, quickly stuffed all the books into the space ring, and the handwritten book now should have been taken back at that time.
"What is written in this? It must be very important magic information!"
After learning magic, Claire also knew that in order to prevent their legal knowledge from being usurped by others, some powerful wizards usually write in a coded form or create a language that only they understand. Could it be that the wizard in this book is also the same? This is the case.
She couldn't help but look down at the gem hanging around her neck. Finally, Claire gritted her teeth and used the power of the gem again regardless of her body that had not fully recovered. Thousands of knowledge poured into her mind. In an instant, Claire understood the meaning of the words in the book. mean.
"Abyssal language!"
Claire found that a word appeared in her mind, and then the boy softly recited other words that appeared in his mind: "Dedicated to the great fallen master, I will definitely complete your task and let the broken-winged white swan dye her wings black. ┉┉”
What does it mean? What is the fallen master!
Claire raised her head with a puzzled look, then looked down again. (~^~)
