Capítulo 69: Sale

In just a few hours, Beatrice had managed to fully read all of the ancient books she had bought, memorizing all of them.

After that, Beatrice slowly fell into thought, remembering the contents of the books, and thinking about conflicting information, after all, although Beatrice was sure these books were very old, she did not truly know if they were right.

The best thing Beatrice could do was make sure to see if anything inside of the book conflicted with anything she knew was true.

As such, Beatrice sat crosslegged nearly all night, thinking about the books she had read, at the same time, a certain weird thought appeared in her mind.

'Water Element mages are weak in the early stage,' thought Beatrice, before suddenly moving her thoughts back to the books.

...

The next morning.

Although Beatrice had not slept much at all, the first thing she did in the morning was get out of the house alongside Elias and begin searching for a suitable pace to set up a stall.

Right now, Beatrice wanted to sell the possessions of the several mages she had killed under the orders of her teacher, mainly the spellbooks, as Beatrice still had some use for most of the other items.

Suddenly, Beatrice's eyes, lit up as she looked at a certain empty spot, right in front of an intersection of the town.

'A good location,' thought Beatrice as she quickly walked up to the empty spot and began watching Elias set up her stall.

Unlike normal humans, Elias quickly set up Beatrice's stall, as under Beatrice's guidance, Elias had already become a mage apprentice, although a very weak one for now.

But even though Elias was still a very inexperienced mage, Beatrice still felt a huge diference in the difficulty of controlling him.

The moment Elias had become a Mage Apprentice, for no apparent reason, it had become several times more difficult to control him.

Thankfully though, right now, Beatrice's spiritual power was completely exaggerated compared to a normal mage of the same rank, allowing her to still fully control him with relative ease.

In only a few minutes, a small stall had already been created, allowing Beatrice to place five books behind the counter.

These were, in fact, spellbooks for the Water, Earth, Wind, Fire, and Ice elements.

As she placed the books on the stall, a little bit of pain couldn't help but flash in Beatrice's eyes, as she knew that she wouldn't really get a great deal on these spellbooks.

But of course, Beatrice could do nothing, as the books were completely useless to her, as she could only cast spells of the dark element.

Although Beatrice, in these past three months, had tried reading the spellbooks, so as to maybe help her understand her own spells grow, but sadly, it seemed as though mana from different elements worked in completely different ways, not giving Beatrice any inspiration.

After a few moments of thought, Beatrice quickly wrote the number 379 under all of the books before sitting on the chair behind the stall and closing her eyes.

One day later,

An entire day had already passed before Beatrice had sold anything, but rather thankfully, this waiting did not truly disturb Beatrice's magic practice, as with her experience, she could easily refine mana even as her senses were exposed to the outside world.

At this very moment, Beatrice was looking at her spellbook, staring at the dark bolt spell circle trying to analyze it, something which she did nearly every day, as she had already mastered most of the Rank 0 Dark Spells which were useful to her.

As she did this, occasionally, a small dark bolt would pop up in Beatrice's hand, before collapsing only a moment later most of the time.

Suddenly, Beatrice raised her eyes, looking at the middle-aged man who had approached her stall and was staring at a certain spellbook.

"What spells does the Fire Element Spellbook have inside of it?" asked the middle-aged man, prompting Beatrice to open her mouth.

"It has most of the basic spells, Fire Barrier, Spark, Fireball, Fire Healing..." as Beatrice talked for around a minute, occasionally giving the middle-aged man a partial look at some of the spell circles, a frown couldn't help but appear on the face of the middle-aged man.

"I'll take it," said the middle-aged man, gritting his teeth as he took out a small bag from inside of his robe, before placing 379 elemental stones in front of Beatrice only a few moments later.

Seeing this, Beatrice then handed the spellbook to the middle-aged man as she placed the elemental stones inside a bag of her own with a slightly satisfied expression on her face, of course, because of the mask on her face, this was not visible to the middle-aged man.

Although her teacher was relatively generous, giving Beatrice one thousand elemental stones when she said she wanted to go out, Beatrice still felt like it was quite good to obtain elemental stones from something essentially useless.

Unlike the first day, which had no buyers for her stall, it seemed as though Beatrice was quite lucky today, as only two hours after the first sale, another mage bought one of the spellbooks.

As she watched the old man walk away with the Earth Element Spellbook in his hands, Beatrice couldn't help but smile, watching the sun slowly but surely set.

"Let's go, we need to pack up," said Beatrice as she turned to Elias, causing the latter to suddenly begin walking towards him, when suddenly, another figure approached the stall, causing Beatrice to suddenly stop.

"Can you let me verify the contents of the Water Element Spellbook?" asked the middle-aged man as he looked at Beatrice.

"Alright," said Beatrice she picked up the spellbook and showed him some incomplete spell circles from inside.

And after only a few more minutes, now with one less Spellbook and even more elemental stones in hand, Beatrice had finally finished her last deal of the day, staring at the departing back of the middle aged man.

Capítulo 70: Group

After the middle-aged man bought the spellbook from Beatrice, he then began walking away, quickly moving all throughout the town, before casting some sort of spell, making sure that nobody was following him.

The moment the middle aged man made sure nobody was following him, he walked into a secluded restaurant before ordering something, he then turned to the book in his hands, examining it for a few moments, searching for any sort of curses or other methods that could be used to track him

After making sure that no sort of tracing spell was placed on the book, the middle-aged man placed it back into his robe, before continuing to eat his meal.

Knowing that nobody was following him, the middle-aged man, who seemed slightly paranoid, ate for a bit before disappearing from the restaurant without a trace.

...

A few minutes later, inside of a completely unremarkable house,

Three teens littered a certain room, each of them silently waiting for something to happen, standing still and not making a sound for some reason.

Suddenly, one of the teens, a young-looking boy, suddenly opened his mouth.

"It's getting kinda late, do you guys think something happen to her?" asked the young boy, Shane, as he looked at his two friends, a boy and a girl.

Hearing Shane's words a frown appeared on the forehead of the boy.

"Don't say that, you know how cautious Catherine is, if anyone could survive something, it would be her," said Oliver, the other boy in the group as he looked at Shane, feeling quite unsatisfied with the latter's mentality.

"I didn't mean it that way I wa-"

Before Oliver could finish his sentence, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared, opening the door of the house before walking in.

The moment the group saw the middle-aged man, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Catherine, it's good that you're okay, I don't know how long I could have stayed together with these two without going insane," said Madeline as she lept towards the middle-aged man.

Hearing that, some disdain couldn't help but appear on the face of the middle-aged man.

"Don't try to cozy up with me, I spent almost the entirety of my savings for this," said the middle-aged man, his rough voice creating a sharp contrast with the youthful energy being given off by the rest of the group.

"Fine fine, don't worry, I will pay you back when I get some more elemental stones," said Madeline as she quickly approached the middle-aged man, who then took out the Water Element Spellbook from his robes.

"Here you go, that's going to be 379 elemental stones you will have to pay me in the future," said the middle-aged as Madeline picked up the spellbook before opening and beginning to read it not long after.

"You already said that once, you don't have to repeat it, I already know better than trying to borrow something from you without paying you back," said Madeline as she looked at the middle-aged man with some resentment in her eyes.

"Well I gave you a very generous interest rate, you know, no bank wi-"

"Catherine, I think Madeline has understood your point, don't worry, If she doesn't pay you back, we'll be the first ones to catch her and make her pay you up, " said Shane, looking at the middle-aged man who at the moment, was transforming

Suddenly, the body of the middle-aged began becoming smaller, and only a few moments later, the middle-aged man had returned to her true form.

"Don't worry Shane, as long as Madeline pa-ys back her debts to me, I won't bother her in the slightest," said Catherine, coughing as she adjusted to her original voice.

Hearing that, Shane couldn't help but turn his head towards Madeline, who right now, was reading the spellbook Catherine had just bought, reading it.

"I think we need to help Madeline pay Catherine back, otherwise Catherine might wring her dry," whispered Shane as he turned his head towards Oliver.

"I can pitch in one hundred and fifty elemental stones, just make sure Madeline isn't crushed by interest," whispered Oliver, in a tone almost completely unhearable more than a few dozen centimeters away from his mouth.

"Good, I will also put up one hundred and fifty elemental stones, we just need to come up with the remaining seventy," whispered Shane, as he and Oliver began speaking to each other.

Seeing that two of her three companions were immersed in a discussion, Catherine turned her attention towards the third, Madeline, who was sitting on the floor, being completely immersed in the spellbook, showing no signs of doing anything else, unlike her usual self.

'This is quite nice,' thought Catherine, a rare smile appearing on her face as she stared at the scene in front of her.

"You should learn at least some self-protection spells first, that place could be somewhat dangerous," said Catherine as she looked at Madeline, showing some concern in her tone.

"I understand," said Madeline with a serious look on her face, unlike her usual relaxed nature.

"Good, you just need to protect yourself," said Catherine as she began walking towards her room.

Looking at the departing figure in front of her, Madeline couldn't help but look toward the ground.

"Thank you for all the help, otherwise right now I would probably be still desperately searching for spells to practice," said Madeline, in a practically unhearable voice, so quiet that not even Shane and Oliver, who were nearby could hear.

The moment Madeline spoke, the corner of Catherine's mouth slightly rose, forming a smile.

...

Several hours later,

At this moment of the night, when her three other teammates were already asleep, Catherine laid in bed, staring at the ceiling, which had a square pattern imprinted into it.

"Everything's going to be alright," mumbled Catherine as she stared at the ceiling, slightly stretching out her left hand towards it.

After a few moments, Catherine then slowly lowered her hands back down, as her eyes eventually closed, having completely fallen asleep.
