nVale spent a total of 45 points to advance the Spirit Vision to level 4 since it has the same price as the Traceless Shift.

nAs for the Cursed Breath, it requires 4 points to advance it to Level 1. In total, he had to spend 60 points to reach Level 4.

nUnexpectedly, Grimoire Attraction had the same price as he spent another 60 points, leaving him with 1,279 Energy Points.

nVale stopped upgrading his Spell since he planned to record a Movement Spell in his second year in the Academy.

nHe also didn’t dare to upgrade his Celestial Arts since he might not be able to control its powers, and the most important reason was that the consumption of the Divinity Points might get higher.

nWith his pitiful amount of Divinity, he can’t afford to upgrade these Celestial Arts, or he might not even have a chance of using them.

n***

nAnother three days quickly passed, and Vale heard some interesting news circulating around the city.

nFirst, he heard that the police had exterminated the Snake Brotherhood, which was quite surprising to others since they believed that the syndicate had connections to the police.

nOf course, they were only surprised at first. As soon as they heard the other rumor, they immediately understood why they had met such an end.

nApparently, someone had leaked that they had dabbled in a Forbidden Ritual. This ritual attracted an enmity of demonic beings, and the huge bolt of lightning that struck their place was proof of this circulating rumor.

nIt was a great relief to many people and also to Vale, who was the culprit of this incident.

nOn the other hand, the disturbance created by the Summoner and Necromancer had also caused a stir. However, it quickly died down since no innocent lives were taken then. There were only a few injuries, and they were also quickly compensated by the city administration.

nClink.

nVale finished the cup of tea he purchased for 40 nolls as he looked outside the Tea Parlour.

nThis is the cheapest tea he could purchase since the price of tea typically reaches about 3 to 5 zen. They were so expensive as they were trying to keep up with the nobles.

nIt is so much better to purchase some tea leaves from the merchants.

n‘Tsk… There’s already a lot of movement within the churches and the police… I think those two will start looking for me in the next two or three days. I should leave later tonight.’ Vale silently thought as he made up his mind.

nVale actually wanted to leave as quickly as possible after he upgraded his Spells. However, when he was thinking of removing the Divine Sense Mark on his body, he realized that he was also being monitored by someone about 40 meters away from him.

nIt is quite a decent range for a Magic Zone, and they would surely be undetected if they were monitoring some normal Arcane Arts Practitioner.

nHowever, Vale was different. With over 150 meters range of Magic Zone, he wouldn’t miss the people who were trying to monitor him secretly.

nAnyway, over the past couple of days, he realized that the one monitoring him also needed some rest. Around 11 pm and 1 am, he wouldn’t sense this person.

nThat would be the perfect time to remove the Tracking Mark on his shoulder. 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮

nLater tonight, he would surely leave this city, and he won’t be returning ever again.

n***

nAt midnight, a group of young Elementalists was about to go outside Melthorn City.

nThey passed the lively red-light district and exited the western gates of the city before boarding a private carriage that had been waiting for them for quite some time.

nAs soon as the coachman noticed his clients, he heaved a sigh of relief as he waited for them to board. It didn’t take long before they departed without wasting so many words.

nThere were a total of four people within the group of Elementalists, and they were all silent throughout the journey.

nIt was only after 45 minutes when the coachman spoke.

n“We’re here… This is the farthest I can go.” The old coachman said.

nThey were about to enter a rough road leading to a forest about a kilometer away from their stop.

n“Thank you… Here’s the rest of the payment.” The leader of the group said as he handed over the payment.

nThe old coachman smiled and thanked the young man. He wanted to see his face, but unfortunately, he couldn’t recognize their faces since it was really dark and all of them were wearing cloaks of the Elementalist Faction.

nAs soon as he confirmed that the payment included a generous tip, he immediately left the place.

n“Lester, my Wind Fairy sensed someone ahead of us.” A female elementalist in the group reported to the leader. She’s Addison Clements and a Wind Elementalist. She looked very pale, but it was just her natural skin tone.

nShe had what seemed like a silver necklace wrapped around her left palm as she communicated with her Wind Fairy.

n“If they’re alone, then that’s not a problem. Can your Wind Spirit check how many people and how far they are?” Lester replied.

nHunter and Reed, who were silent all this time, frowned at this.

n“Aren’t we supposed to be the first ones to know about the Night Flare Grass?” Hunter asked as he looked at their leader.

n“Lester, are you sure that it wasn’t leaked?” Reed followed up, filled with doubt.

nThe reason they came here was to collect some Night Flare Grass. Only Elementalist like them should know about its presence in the forest now, so they couldn’t help but feel suspicious. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝒆.𝙘

nOther Arcane Arts Practitioners would not necessarily need this grass unless they were Alchemists.

n“There was no way it was leaked. It must be a coincidence.”

nAs Lester said this, Addison also nodded as she spoke.

n“Indeed… Lester was right. This must be a coincidence. My Wind Fairy just confirmed that the man was alone, and he seemed to be lost. Unfortunately, my fairy can’t tell if he’s an Arcane Arts Practitioner.”

nLester nodded at this and said. “That’s great. Reed, put him to sleep and throw him somewhere.”
