Fire Mage (Web Novel)
chapter-183

Charles's wisdom power swept through the carriage and scanned everywhere.

'There is no consciousness left inside the carriage….' A troubled expression appeared on his face.

'It looks like an assassination attempt… The young child's voice... Could it be Ivy, the 4-year old child? Is she wants to frame us?' He hurriedly retracted his wisdom power and also told the Holem's Crown to do the same.

Then, he looked around and soon noticed that almost a hundred people fainted on the spot!

'What a mess.' He couldn't help but grumble.

Letting out a deep sigh, he glanced at Jessie and others and ordered.

"Go and check if everyone is alright."

Then, he turned his gaze towards Rhea and noticed that she was panting heavily.

"Are you alright, lass?" He asked.

"Y-Yes, Teacher." A stuttering reply came out from her mouth as she straightened her back and started walking towards the table.

Meanwhile, the surrounding mages, Nobles, and the soldiers started to take few steps backward.

At that moment, they also got confused by Charles's earlier outburst and soon turned their gaze towards Felicity and Vance.

On the other hand, the mother and son due were completely scared out of their wits!

They didn't dare to stay there any longer and hurriedly entered the golden curtained carriage.

Before long, the coachman whipped the horse and drove it out of the City Square.

In the meantime, Rhea arrived in front of the table and let the priests and Bishops check her identity.

The different Church members first took some blood samples from her hand and used artifacts to check her identity.

Then, some people asked questions about Rhea's past and checked whether she was telling the truth or not.

By the time the fainted citizens woke up, the priests and Bishops also completed the identity checking process.

After that, they announced to everyone that she was a true descendant of the Boneflare family.

Citizens had long expected such an outcome, so they quietly congratulated Rhea and began to disperse one by one.

If it were before the assassination, they would have thrown a small party.

But after Charles's angry outburst, even commoners got scared and moved away nervously.

Upon watching such a scene, a bitter smile appeared on Rhea's face.

A moment ago, she was almost got assassinated, but none knew what had happened!

No, many of them thought that the Ancient Mage had gone mad!

At that moment, only a few nobles like Duke Reece, Count Darius, Viscount Johan, and Baron Edison came to meet her and exchanged a few words.

Even they also showed forceful smiles and soon walked away along with their guards and mages.

After that, Charles's group stayed in the City Square for the next few minutes and noticed that even the church members packed their things and left.

"In the end, everyone just came here to watch the show as entertainment." A trace of disappointment appeared on Jessie's face.

"They came here to do the formality, Jessie. If I have money and strength, they would have stayed a bit longer. But I have none at this moment. Worry not. As long as our Teacher is with us, we will be the final winner." Rhea glanced at the blonde-haired girl and said with a reassuring smile.

"What are we going to do now, Teacher?" Titus glanced around in wariness and asked.

He and others had already learned about the silent assassination from Rhea and felt terrified inside.

They currently felt very weak!

"We have more than four years to complete this mission. First, we will rent a small mansion and lay low for the next three years. At the same time, you guys should focus on increase your strength and become Rank-3 Mystics." Charles said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Rank-3 Mystics in three years?" Noel's eyes went wide in shock.

Charles smiled slightly and nodded.

"Although it would be a very challenging task for Rhea, it wouldn't be a hard job for you guys."

"But I want to select a combat-related class and make up for my weakness first, Teacher," Jessie said in hesitation.

"I want to become an Astrologer as well." Rhea also nodded her head in approval.

Upon hearing those words, Charles got stunned for a moment and furrowed his brows.

'She wants to choose a combat-related class, huh... She has two consciousnesses, so her progression will become double fold in the future...It is indeed a good idea. Hmm, which class should be good for her, Mr. Runeth?' He asked inwardly.

'She only has 'High' Knowledge affinity, and all other affinities are below 'low' level affinities. Hmm, she can choose an Outer-Class Gem and strengthen the corresponding affinity through the sacrificial ritual. Knight, Shooter, Warrior, Mad Killer, Killer, and Soldier would be her best choices.'

'Nope... Increasing her affinity will take time.' Charles frowned.

'Wait... There is one class which can be very suitable for her. But it's a little evil one, though.' The Holem's Crown spoke in a solemn tone.

'Evil one?' His brows knitted.

'Yes, it's called 'Witch' Class. It is almost like a shaman class, but this Witch Class mostly involves fatal curses. Not only that, but her physical body strength would also increase to an abnormal level. If she chooses this class and Rank-up to its peak level, she might even cause the Bloodline Warlocks to run. No, the whole world would become scared of her curses.' An excitement. No, craziness could be seen in its tone.

'You really love to cause destruction, aren't you?' Charles couldn't help but comment.

'Humph, you are the one to talk.' The Holem's Crown refuted.

On the other hand, Charles became somewhat intrigued by this 'Witch' class.

'Where can we get this class gem? Churches definitely won't allow such Class Gem to appear in this market, right?' He was damn sure of it.

'Search for it in the Fire-Elemental Plane, lad. You should stop focusing on the small forest and explore the Fire plane. Also, why are you not paying any attention to the Twin Leaf's origin? I thought you would go to the Miners' Den and search for more clues about where Night Goblins found the Twin Leaf?'

'No, I'm not strong enough yet. Moreover, there is some big scheme behind these Twin Leaves. Otherwise, how could it appear in the Dream World?' Charles shook his head and soon focused his attention on Jessie.

"How many gold coins do we have, lass?" He asked.

Upon hearing his question, Jessie turned her attention towards her void pouch and checked.

"There are only 1,750 gold coins remaining, Teacher." She responded after a short deliberation.

"I think it is more than enough to rent an old mansion for four years." Charles nodded thoughtfully.

"Why shouldn't we go to the Royal Castle and stay there, Teacher? That's my home, anyway." Rhea stared at him in confusion.

"Royal Castle is not a good option, Rhea. There must be tens of Rank-3 mages monitoring the castle all the time, and we can't relax out the guard for a single moment." This time, it was Jessie who answered her question.
