Fire Mage Chapter 188

'Nah. Probably, she must be thinking of me as 'You,' Mr. Runeth. Life Church must be suspecting that 'You' somehow possessed Charles using the 'False Reincarnation' and is using him as a stepping stone to rise...'

'That 'Past Time' visions during our grand entrance might have confirmed their suspicion. Let them think that as a truth. When the right time comes, Life Church might sneak into this mansion and try to capture me... Hehe, I'm waiting for that day.' Charles curled his lips upward and continued to walk.

'Aren't you afraid of getting caught?' The Holem's Crown felt something was off.

'Caught? Nah, I'm going to use them as stepping stones and reveal my real identity as 'Runeth' to the world.' A mischievous smile appeared on his face.

'You really are suitable for this Trickster class.' Even the Holem's Crown would have believed his lie if it didn't know about the system artifact.

'But I warn you, lad. Those Church members are not to be underestimated.'

The Holem's Crown said in his mind.

'I know.' Charles nodded his head and soon reached the second floor.

As he went towards the spiral staircase, he suddenly saw Jessie and Rhea were walking in his direction and paused.

Within a minute, both arrived in front of him and bowed their heads.

Meanwhile, Charles waved his head, then shifted his attention towards Jessie and asked.

"Did you sell the Fire Lizard's carcass in the auction?"

"Yes, Teacher. It sold for 6,400 gold coins." She deliberated for a moment and continued with a hint of nervousness.

"But when we return from the auction, a few Fire Mages warned us not to sell the Elemental Creatures' carcasses in the auction."

'Oh?' A surprised expression appeared on Charles's face.

Then, he nodded his head thoughtfully and spoke.

"Hmm, then tell the auction house owner that we are going to put different kinds of Rank-3 Fire Elemental Creature's carcass for auctioneering every week."

Upon hearing his words, Rhea's expression turned ugly.

"I feel that provoking the Fire Mages is not a good idea, Teacher."

"Are you afraid? If you back down, they will think of you as an easy target and try to suppress you. Don't mind them. Sell the carcass regularly and try to save the money as much as possible." Charles rubbed his chin and spoke.

Meanwhile, Jessie blinked her emerald green eyes as she heard the last sentence and went wide-eyed.

"You want something from the auction, Teacher?" She asked with keen interest.

A smile bloomed on Charles's face.

He nodded his head and spoke with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Yes. If a potion with the name 'Midday' appears in the auction hall, I want you to buy it. But I warn you, it would be more costly than you even dream of. So, don't hesitate during the time and buy it at all cost."

Upon hearing his voice, both Jessie and Rhea subconsciously raised their hands and covered their mouths.

"Teacher, you are acting more like an impatient kid now." Jessie smiled widely and spoke.

"Hoho, I'm just 30,000 years old, lass. When comparing to the Gods and Titans, I'm still an energetic little kid." He let out a loud laugh and then asked.

"Did someone with 'Elliott' surname come here?"

"No, Teacher." Both of them shook their heads.

"Hmm, if such person comes, tell him to not worry about the curse. Also, tell him to send a few Rank-2 guards here to guard our mansion. Don't worry; he will definitely obey Rhea's order."

Saying so, he walked past the kids and started moving towards the spiral staircase direction.

Then, he soon went to the third floor and entered his private room.

Following that, he changed his clothes into a casual one and started comprehending the spell models until 8.P.M.

He then went to the mansion roof terrace during the nighttime and started searching for a 'Time' star.

Days turned weeks, weeks turned months, and soon six months disappeared in a blink!

During the past six months, he comprehended [Fallen Angel's Wings] spell model and already in the middle of comprehending the [False Blink] spell model.

Although his comprehension progression became slower, his searching progress went smoothly!

In truth, he analyzed a total of 1,472 stars, aka 92 constellations, and found thirteen 'Time' Stars!

Two were larger ones, five were medium-sized ones, and the remaining seven were smaller ones!

It was a dark-red night.

Currently, Charles sat on the Lawson Sofa on the mansion roof terrace, held the golden-covered book in his hand, and was looking at the complicated Twelve Rings formula.

Within the complicated formula, a total of twelve ring-like spaces appeared and gave off a sense of unknown.

Among the twelve rings, eleven rings were filled with thousands of minute strange symbols and letters and seemed very mysterious.

'This is it. Put a drop of your blood on the twelfth ring, focus on the Pheoqu-5 Star and start the usual chant.'

Under the Holem's Crown's guidance, Charles first made a small cut on his finger and let a blood drop fell on one particular blank space.

Then, he looked up at the eerie blackish-red sky and soon focused on an exceptionally bright star in the Vra constellation.

After that, he took a deep breath and started to chant.

His ethereal voice echoed on the rooftop, giving the mansion guards and servants an unknown fright and dread.

Ten minutes later, Charles recited the final rite and ended the chanting.

But he didn't retract his gaze from the brightest star, though. Instead, he put more focus on it and waited.

Two seconds later, he suddenly noticed that the bright star appeared abnormally closer!

'Success!' The corner of his mouth turned up.

He had sacrificed most of his sleeping time during the past six months and finally managed to complete the formula!

Suddenly, countless mysterious letters and symbols started to form on the seventh circle and were soon engraved in it!

The next second, all those twelve mysterious letters filled within the rings started to shine in a dazzling light and began to connect one by one.

Then, those connected lights soon combined into a single ray of light and directly entered Charles's forehead!

Simultaneously, he noticed that a small invisible mark appeared near the spell models in the Inner World!

[+1 Wisdom obtained!]

[Vision skill's proficiency has been increased from 105 to 200!]

'What the h*ck? My wisdom attribute increased by two points? Moreover, 'Vision skill also upgraded into its max level?'

He hurriedly looked at the game interface and checked the progression of his sub-class skills.

'Hand of Mystery... 132 points... Face Change... 145 points... If I use the 131 free attribute points, I can Rank-Up my Sub Class!' His eyes lit up.

He didn't hesitate for a moment before pouring 68 skill points to [Hand of Mystery] skill and 55 skill points to [Face Change] skill and increased them to their peak level!

[Requirement has met for Mischievous Man class advancement!]

[You can Rank Up by consuming Shape-shifter Class Gem or by spending Experience points!]

[Experience Points required for ranking up the Shape-shifter Class: 85,000 Exp points!]

[Success rate: 50%]
