Professor Morgan held onto his signal crystal as he walked toward the depths of the Forbidden Forest. A few moments earlier, he had detected that the team he was responsible for had lost all of their badges. Therefore, he had to rely on the magic that he had left on those five students to locate them and to lead them out of the forest.
Not long later, Professor Morgan found Geoffrey under a huge tree, but he was in a sorry state. His face was swollen like a pig’s head while his clothes were filthy. He looked like he had endured a fierce and bitter battle before that. Professor Morgan remembered that Geoffrey’s team consisted of four other female students. He deduced that the team had suffered an attack by another group from Geoffrey’s appearance, but he did not know what had happened with the rest of them.
“Teacher Professor Morgan.”
With his swollen face, it was even strenuous for Geoffrey
“Professor Morgan, are you sure that you did not sense it wrongly?”Professor Sonny questioned again cautiously although he already have an inkling of what was happening. Actually, it was for that same reason why he personally came to check the situation.It was reported to him that some sort of dark art was used on the students, and due to the mysterious nature of the magic used to mind control another person, the teachers feared that it was related to soul beguilement.However, due to their lack of knowledge on the subject matter, they were not able to confirm what exactly it was.But, it was a different story for the schoolmaster. As someone who used to be an apprentice necromancer, he could tell right away that this was not a work of someone who practice soul art.This was an entirely different thing, and in his lifetime, he had only known one person
With their strongest rival out of equation, winning the competition was a piece of cake for Audrey's group. Thus, it did not take that long before they emerged victorious; putting an end to the mock test, earlier than expected.However, unbeknownst to them, their success also attracted unwanted attention. Trusting his hunch, the evil school master paid close attention to the winning team since he highly suspected that his target was hiding in their midst.All along, no one but the people of Mystic Muses suspected Professor Sonny to be the apprentice necromancer in disguise. He had been hiding right under their noses.Now, Audrey' secret was close to being exposed.Meanwhile, oblivious to this impending trouble, the group resumed their research for their quest. After careful study, they learned that meeting the Graes is no easy task by itself. The triplets were said to live within a forest clearing that could only be found at "Isle of Delos" or dubbed as 'The Lost Island'; from its lo
Because of the accident, the vehicle was destroyed so they have to leave it. At the same time, they lost the Magnus Eye. The crash damaged it so bad, there was no way it would work again.Now, they lost their chance to rely on its magical help. Indeed, they landed to their destination. Albeit not in a way they expected. Upon arriving to the Land of Dawn, they were on their own. The mortar was reduced into ruin so they left it there since there is nothing they could do to fix it. However, just as when they were venturing this treacherous land, they come accross formidable beast and one defeated them. They were captured and was taken to Mariner's Bay, the farthest end of the Land of Dawn where the tribe of seaborns could be found, a kind of water dweller who unlike merpires rely solely on their voice to enchant their victims, the new creature knows how to use magic.Similar to a mermaid, they used to reside underwater. However, seaborns are in no way seductive like mermaids.They ar
Inside the main house, Hefetus’s face was as black as a pot. Timothy and Leo, who represented the second-generation the third-generation members respectively, stood with him and all of them looked as if they had no color on their faces. Everyone, other than Hefetus, had had their wallets wiped clean and it was probably because he was the most important member of the Blacksmith Guild. Some of their goldware collections had also disappeared without a trace.Out of everyone, the one that suffered most was Anthony. Anthony had purchased a lot of pearls and jewels because he liked to gift them to the beauties, so that he could undergo a ‘deeper interaction’ with them. He had also bought a large batch of high-quality gems from the jeweler just a few days ago. However, before he could gift them to those beautiful women, they were emptied from the jewelry box. What infuriated him most was that heartless little thief also dug out the few gems that were embedded in the jewelry box!Anthony did
There was indeed a goddess-level thief that was not affiliated with the Silver Hands, and that particular thief had probably not even heard of their name.While everyone else was at their wit’s end with the theft from the day before, a certain thief beamed with smiles as she returned from her rewarding journey. She sat on top of the big pile of loot and enjoyed herself as she looked at her harvest with deep appreciation.A person with Timothy’s status clearly had no lack of money. However, the main bulk of their vast wealth had been stored in a bank, and they did not have much on hand. Therefore, the amount of cash that Nero looted was not really a huge sum. The goldware and pieces of jewelry that she managed to steal turned out to be the main attraction of the show.The problem that plagued him then was that he did not know how to turn those items into cash. The only thing that he could consider was an auction house. If he could bring those items to the auction house, they would give
For convenience sake, Nero also purchased a low-grade interspatial ring. Interspatial rings were meant for storage use. Even though it looked identical to regular rings, the wielder had to use a particular method to activate it for use. Upon activation, a specific area of space would appear depending on the grade of the ring, and it can be used to store any inanimate items.Interspatial rings were very common in the mage community, and they came in different grades. The grades of the rings would determine the size of the space and also the equivalent prices for it. The ring that Shen Yanxiao bought was only a lower-grade one with about five cubic meters of space. However, that was already enough for her to store everything that she looted from the house.After Nero had completed his preparation, he realized that he only lacked one small but crucial thing; he can't go sell his stuff at the auction house by himself! After all, no sane person would let a cat inside to do its supposed bu
“Third young master…”Robert was shocked. Could the third young master intend to receive the customer personally? Giovanni shot him a glance, and he dared not utter another word.Audrey and her cat, on the other hand, stood at the entrance of the Auction House. As the attendant walked away, she subconsciously touched her face that was disguised beyond anyone’s recognition.She used a relatively lower grade face altering mask compare to the one she had been using, cross dressing as Andrew. That one was given to her for free and so far, have not failed her yet. However, it was only recently did she found out that such mask cost more than twofold of her school tuition for the entire year!Obviously, there was no way she could afford to spare such huge sum for this side hassle. More over,she also could not risk jeopardizing her disguised by showing up as Andre since the item they were selling was from stealing.Likewise, the effects of the low-grade disguise potion that she bought were
“That’s all I have. Please have a look and see if they are suitable.”Audrey could not determine the system of values in that world, and she was also unaware of the standards that they had at the Auction House. So, she could only rely on Robert to appraise those items. If they were unwilling to accept them, then she would need to separate them into smaller batches to be sent to other auction houses. Besides, she had to take extra care to avoid the Blacksmith Guild’s attention. If that were the case, then not only would she get the money she needed slower than her expectations, but she could also run into other problems as well. Robert nodded, then called for a few goldware and jewel appraisers to review the items that were scattered on the ground.As expected, every single goldware and jewel in that pile was of the highest quality. Robert had only seen items with similar quality within the Hearth Family’s main house.However…“These items are very valuable, but there’s some abras
