Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter V Chapter 177

The man was standing at the intersection of the alley. He was wearing a brown robe with a hood that covered his head. Her hood shadow blocked part of her face and it made Elysia have trouble guessing what she looked like.

Elysia looked at the small pouch that the man had extended to her. He soon realized it was his. "Yes, it's mine."

The man catapulted her slowly at Elysia. "Next time be careful." Then he turned away.

Elysia's eyes focused on seeing her money bag soaring in the air. As he managed to catch her, he raised his head to look at the man, it turned out that he had already walked away. Elysia called him to stop. "Eh...The master! Master savior! Your kind hearted master! Uncle! Ooi...!"

No matter how hard he shouted and what he called out to him, the cloaked man continued walking without even turning his head.

Elysia felt bad. He shouted again with thanks. "Thank you, uh...Good-natured uncle." He politely lowered his head a little.

When Elysia raised her head again, the man had vanished into the crowd.

Who exactly is that guy?

Elysia felt that she was just a stranger who happened to pass by and happened to help her. He did not want to be burdened with complicated thinking and considered that it was their first and last meeting.

Unfortunately the destiny they waded into was not that simple.

Elysia sighed in relief as she stroked her chest. He finally got his money back. He felt stupid because his money was stolen by a boy. Worse yet he lost track of her and could not find the boy.

He put the money in his pocket and went back to Alice. His mind felt a little anxious when he saw his mother still standing in the same place. Elysia shook her head. He kept coming closer even though he was actually a little hesitant.

"Did you get your money?" Alice asked as she saw Elysia coming.

Elysia nodded slowly. He scratched his cheek and smiled shyly while showing his money pouch.

"Good." Both sides of Alice's lips brushed slightly aside.

If only Elysia had not seen the look in Alice's eyes and only seen her faint smile, she would have been calm. But the sight of Alice in front of his eyes implied that he was in trouble at the moment.

Alice felt that the carelessness of her daughter needed to be given a small punishment. He will give her a warning that she will never do the same again.

As usual, Alice punished him just as Iris and Echidna had felt. Alice raised her hand and brought it closer to Elysia's face. In front of his forehead.

"Hmm..? I-mom's gonna do what?" Elysia was nervous and stared at the puzzled Alice fist that was closing in on her face.

Will he be beaten? Alice can't be that hard, can she?

Alice grunting. He then touched Elysia's forehead strongly enough.

"Aah!" Elysia screamed once. He quickly stroked his forehead which felt sore. It was completely red and left its centile marks.

"That's a punishment for you. Next time be more careful and watch around you." Exclaims.

Elysia's pink lips shriveled. He hung his head with guilt. "Good ma'am." Answer in a soft voice. Elysia regretted that all these events had happened because she was careless and careless.

Elysia's ability was a little slower in understanding the techniques Alice taught her. Unlike Echidna who had great Mana control, he could easily use the divine consciousness release technique he taught her.

Because the technique initially used the resonance of the released Qi waves to sense what was around it. Alice thought that she only needed to change her method a little. The beings in Aria were born and coexisted with Mana energy. Alice only needed to teach them to further deepen their concentration in sensing the Mana energy itself.

Alice patted Elysia's head comfortably. "Already, already. I'm not angry, I'm not angry. Come on, let's find some lodging to rest."

Her mother's hands felt so warm and comfortable in her head, also her voice sounded melodious in her ears. Elysia raised her face. He walked obediently following Alice by his side.

Her mother is the best. But still, he was embarrassed. Elysia was determined in her mind to quickly master the divine consciousness technique Alice taught her.

The day turned night, the time for them to move to infiltrate the magnificent building.

Elysia's eyes, which had been closed because she was training her Mana concentration, were now open when she heard Alice's call.

They stood in front of the window and jumped out. Both move from one roof to the other. Their jumps and movements were so smooth that they made no sound. Kick their legs when running and barely even sound.

Alice and Elysia descended beside the house near the magnificent building where no light illuminated their position.

"We're going in through there." Alice said as she pointed at the small window of the majestic building

Since most house structures have flat roofs, not sloping like the houses in the Solus kingdom, it makes it easier for them to move and make infiltrations.

They shot like bullets into that little window. It seemed to be a small unused warehouse.

Alice whispered to Elysia. "Consider and feel. I will release my Qi to feel the life energy in this place. This technique is not much different from using mana." Say

Elysia nodded. He became serious and focused on looking at Alice.

Alice released her Qi energy.

'Plok' is like a drop of water that falls to the surface of a lake. Qi Alice seeped into the entire building. His ripples moved wide and bounced back. Alice could feel so much life apart from the slaves locked up in a room not far from their current position.

Alice glanced at Elysia. Elysia understood her mother's eye gesture. He nodded indicating that he was ready.

"alright. Fortunately I've prepared this before." Mumbled. Alice clasped her middle finger and index finger. "We need a diversion." His lips moved soundlessly as if he was casting a spell.

There is no wind, no rain. A lightning bolt suddenly struck the other side of the building and burned it. Azeer and his guards were surprised. How could there be lightning in this barren region? The sky is not even cloudy.

What Alice prepared was actually a small talisman that she threw at the place before they made the infiltration.

Azeer felt something was wrong. He ordered some people nearby to check the situation outside and some remained with him.

When things get boisterous. Alice and Elysia moved quickly. They immediately headed for the room where the elves were locked up.

Alice narrowed her eyes as she sensed someone approaching them.

Alice immediately condensed her Qi into a sword. Before the man turned around and saw them, Alice had already crippled him first.

"Take them out of here. I'm going downstairs. This building has a basement. I can feel more people being locked up there." To Elysia.

Elysia nodded.

Alice jumped downstairs.

Meanwhile, Elysia took out her scythe and smashed the door that was in front of her. He saw his sisters chained to their hands and feet.

"This is. according to reports there are 9, then where are the other four elves. Could it?" Elysia turned towards the door. Maybe her mother knew it.

The eyes of those elves had almost lost their light. How excited and happy they were when they saw Elysia appear.

They knew the silver-haired elf girl. She's his sister.

Is he here to save us?

Mixed happy, sad and angry. Elysia put aside her emotional feelings. He had to rescue them from that place immediately.

The radiant face with that sweet smile made the caged elves become relieved. "Calm down, I'll save you. We'll be out of here soon." Elysia swung her scythe aside and slashed the chains binding the elves.

"Come on. Follow me."

On the other side. Alice managed to attract the attention of the occupants of the building. At least he was confident in his abilities, he could defeat them. Alice moved down the stairs to the first floor.

Every guard who blocked him ended up dead.

Alice grinned. "Good, Elysia had already managed to save them. I can't linger here. After obtaining the elves and information from the man named Azeer. I must leave immediately before the city's security guards realize it."

Alice entered an empty room containing many antiques inside. "They're down here. That means there's a secret passage to the ground floor in this room."

Without a second thought Alice burned the entire room using her fire magic. Why bother looking for one-on-one, after all I do intend to 'little' confuse this place. Her thought.

It was in the Wasteland. It turned out that not only did he manage to break through to the Immortal realm but he also realized that his Mana and magic power were increasing even greater. He was unsure about his current level, yet he could use his fire magic more efficiently. Alice was just wondering, maybe she was already at level 4.

The fire burned the room. Alice took out her robe. He put on a cloth to cover part of his face and pulled down his hood.

Alice had seen the entrance to the lower floor.

"Hmm. wait a minute. This thing...."

His attention was suddenly sidetracked as his eyes caught something interesting. He found something valuable in the room.

Alice laughed a little. He was happy, not knowing that he could find a valuable artifact in the room.
