The Genius Mage

It was just these words that made Saroma’s expression turn extremely ugly.

She actually wanted me to buy all these things!?

One had to know that a single weapon here was an existence that was priceless. If she were to buy all of them, even the king would not be able to do it.

She was obviously deliberately making things difficult for her.

Saroma gritted her teeth. She had wanted to find an excuse to excuse herself, but she did not expect Audrey to speak faster than she did.

“No way. Didn’t our beautiful noble lady just want to buy all the things here? Why are you going back on your word now?” Audrey pretended to be surprised and reached out to cover her mouth. “Are you not keeping your word?”

Saroma never thought that she would be put in such a difficult position.

“How is this possible?” Saroma asked as she found a more reasonable explanation for herself.

“You know, people only have one weapon that suits them best. It’s meaningless for me to buy so many of them. Instead of letting them lie in our warehouse, it’s better to let them shine here.”

When Saroma said this, her face was full of integrity.

The corners of Audrey’s lips curled up, slowly forming a contemptuous arc.

She really knew how to talk. To think that she could come up with such a grand excuse.

“In that case, I’ll take it that you’ve missed your appointment,” Audrey said, “see you next time.”

She was not in the mood to stay in this place for long, so she walked straight to the shop door.

The shop assistant had made it very clear when she bought the weapon. As it would attract too much attention if she took it out, Audrey left her address and asked them to send it to the Templar Knights.

This way, she could have a peerless weapon without alerting anyone.

After Audrey left the shop, she pulled on her hood and planned to continue strolling around.

What she did not realize was that a figure had flashed past in the dark alley beside her.

Klein looked at the shop she had just walked out of and narrowed his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, Audrey was an alchemist. Logically speaking, she did not need to use weapons or anything like that.

Moreover, according to the passerby, she seemed to have spent a large sum of money to buy a long sword. The amount was so large that it was inconceivable.

So Audrey was such a rich person? How interesting.

With this thought in mind, Klein hid his figure and walked towards Audrey, intending to follow her to see what would happen.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura heading towards them.

Klein looked up and saw a figure running towards him from the side. No matter how he looked at it, that action seemed to have a purpose.

He had wanted to defend himself, but he did not expect that at this moment, a very strange smell suddenly entered his nose.

Klein subconsciously held his breath. As an alchemist, his intuition told him that this smell was not simple, but it was useless. Under the drive of the smell, he quickly lost consciousness.

When his vision was still blurry, he saw Audrey take off her hood, revealing her bright blue eyes as she ran straight towards him.

Then, everything turned dark.

When Klein woke up again, he found himself in the same tavern as before, with Hobart standing guard beside him with a worried expression.

“Klein, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly run away? We looked for you for a long time, but we couldn’t find you. In the end, we even found you unconscious at the door,” Hobart said, he raised his hand and patted Klein’s head. “Quick, tell us where you went. Tell us the truth.”

Klein reached out and rubbed his swollen and painful temple.

He only remembered that he had followed Audrey to a place, and then he had been attacked, and then… he had appeared here.

Suddenly, he grabbed Hobart’s hand. “Where’s Audrey? She was clearly with me just now.”

Hobart’s face was filled with disdain. “Have you drunk yourself silly? When did you get together with Audrey? When I saw you at the door just now, you were the only one lying here. Audrey wasn’t there.”

“Impossible. She was definitely the one who sent me back,” Klein said with certainty.

Seeing his good friend in front of him, Hobart sighed helplessly.

“Okay, okay, okay. If that’s the case, I’ll believe you.” Hobart stood up. “You better wake up quickly. I went to look for Cole and the others. They’re probably still looking for you everywhere.”

Klein agreed. He looked at Hobart’s back as he left and was silent for a moment.

If Audrey had sent him back here, where had she gone? Could it be…

At this moment, Audrey was in the magic faculty. She felt a little helpless as she watched the old man rummaging through the shelves in search of this thing.

After she had returned, she had wanted to hurry back and rest. After all, everything she had experienced today had made her very tired. She had not expected that she would be dragged here by Claude before she could even rest.

“Senior Claude, what are you doing?” Audrey asked curiously.

The old man in front of her always gave her a very calm look. She had not expected him to panic like this.
