Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage 171 Ivy's trackers

"Who is the person the esteemed guest is looking for?"

"A woman. She was in the city a few months ago "

"Dear guest, do you have a photo of this woman?"

One of the people dressed in the black cloak took out an imaging device. The photo of a beautiful woman was shown, the skin was white as snow, and eyes were big and looked like two cold gems, an indifferent gaze ignored everyone in front of her, the long and gray hair. Her body was hot and sensual, with plump and round breasts, and long and thin legs.

The woman in the photo wore a beautiful long black dress with red spots.

When the men saw the photo of the woman, they felt like they were a snow fairy.

"Did any of you see this woman in the city?" The governor asked the heads of the city's influential families.

They all nodded, saying no. They have never seen or heard of a cold gray-haired beauty before.

"Dear guest, was this woman really in the city?" The governor did not know what to do at the time.

If nobody saw the woman, but the other side is claiming that she was in the city. The situation has become quite complicated.

"Yes, she was in the city, but she's already gone. I know that you have a slave auction in town and that a few months ago, and a child was sold. A white-skinned, gray-haired child was auctioned at the slave auction. You must remember that, right? " The three realized that people in the city did not know about the person, because the appearance was different from the photo.

"Yes. Now that the esteemed customer has talked about it. My son said that a child with the same characteristics as the woman in the photo was auctioned, but her appearance looked like a ten-year-old child, but she was sold for a very low price because she had no power or anything that attracted the buyer."

"I see ... It looks like she lost her powers ..." One commented. It seemed that he was happy with this situation.

"Dear guest, is this child the person you are looking for?" The governor knew he couldn't ask too much, as it would be dangerous for the entire city.

"Yes. Do you know who was the person who bought it? "

"The person who bought her was also a visitor, he is not from this city. To tell you the truth, we don't even know his origin. He came here while dragging seven desert beasts to sell. He stayed in the city for a few days before leaving, during the time he spent here, he got women, a pair of mother and daughter. After buying some things from an old seller, he left the city with the three women"

"I received information that this traveler bought a bottle with a red liquid inside, is that true?"

"Yes. That's true. Many people have confirmed this. We don't know why he bought that. "

"I see ... Do you know where they went?"

"We only know that they left through the south gate, the direction they went is unknown"

"I see ... We appreciate your cooperation" The three did not even thank or say goodbye. They disappeared from the place as if they weren't even there.

This scene scared everyone in the room, but they knew they needed to keep quiet. On the other side was very, very strong. Their strength was beyond the imagination of the townspeople.

"Governor, do you think they will leave?" The group started talking after waiting a while.

"I do not know. I just know that we shouldn't offend this group, they are too powerful. But they must not have the courage to cause a massacre in the city, they still need to face the alliance. If the alliance finds out that a massacre has taken place in their territory, they will send powerful magicians to deal with this matter "

"That's true. Governor, what country do you think they belong to? They don't seem to belong to the alliance "

"This is difficult to know. Let's stop talking about it. This is beyond our capacity. Let's go back to our usual business "

"Yes," The group started to leave and return to their mansions. None of them dared to comment on this matter, as it was top secret.

"It looks like I'm going to need to make a call ..." The governor pressed a button under the table.

The walls were reinforced and the windows closed and covered by a barrier. The call would be confidential.

…

"Jarlen, what are we going to do now? That bitch escaped again, besides, she also has her essence of power "

After disappearing from the governor's office, the three appeared inside a hotel in the city.

"This may not be the case. Vincent, did you forget that she lost her powers? She just became a child after using the method to escape. She was lucky to find her essence of power, but she cannot use it because her body is very weak. If she tries to use the essence, she will explode immediately "

"What Jarlen said is true. That bitch will not recover her powers so quickly, she will need at least five years to train her body again. We just need to find the person who bought her as a slave. "

"This is really hilarious, a blood race noblewoman becoming a slave to a low-level human. If this were heard by the elders, they will feel humiliated because of it. This can make that bitch's punishment greater than it already is"

"Oberon, you need to be careful what you say. I don't think this human is anybody. If he bought Ivy and also bought the bottle containing her essence of power, it shows that he must know something about our race. Ivy is not someone who trusted others easily, so she must not have been the person who told about the blood race. It just shows that this person is not a trivial person "

"Jarlen, you are thinking too much. This is just a coincidence. Nothing more. Besides, what would someone with such wisdom be doing in a place like this? This desert has nothing of value or anything. "

"I hope it is just a coincidence. Because if it isn't, we will have a lot of problems in the future. Oberen, we have lived for many generations, you must know that there are strange people all over the world. You have found some yourself. If we find someone powerful who knows Ivy's origins, and he helps her. We will have a big problem "

"I know that, which is why we should find the person who took Ivy and the bottle as soon as possible. We cannot let them reach the Amazon Rainforest, otherwise, we will have no methods of capturing Ivy if she enters the forest. "

"I am aware of that. Entering the Amazon Rainforest is not an option. But we don't need to find a way to track Ivy. We just need to monitor the cities, she should appear in some city"

"Jarlen, what are we going to do now? Are we going to go home? Or are we going to keep hunting that bitch? "

"We are following orders. We need to capture Ivy and take her back. She needs to be punished for the sin she committed "

"It is much easier for us to kill her than to take her back. We will have less work to do "

"We've been looking for her for almost six months now. Our only clue is that it was taken by someone else, and the worst thing is that we don't even know who that person is "

"Let's go back to the city first. We can't be wandering around cities like that. If the alliance government finds us, we are going to have a lot of problems "

"I'm already tired of traveling under that hot sun. I want to go back to Europe "

"We need to finish our job first. We are following direct orders from the Third Ancestor. We cannot embarrass our master"

"I know that…"

"We are going to go to another city and try to bribe some spies to help people collect information"

…

These three hooded men also belong to the blood race, but they were following orders from someone named the Third Ancestor to attack Ivy and prevent her from reaching her goal. They were also responsible for severely injuring Ivy and making her came back to being a child.

To escape the combined attack of the three combined, Ivy had to use a secret ability of her blood to escape. She lost almost all of her vitality and the essence containing half of her power was kept in a bottle, the rest of her power was consumed by the escape method. As a result, she became a child. 

To fully regain her power, Ivy needed to absorb her essence of power again, but her current state was very weak. If she did, her little body would explode instantly. Ivy needed to train her body again to be able to regain some of her strength before absorbing the essence.

Ivy's appearance would gradually recover as she regained her powers. When Ivy fully regains her powers, she will regain her original appearance.
