The Genius Mage

Chapter 113: Small Thieves

Simon Green saw her confusion and explained, “It’s like this. The people here are very dangerous. It’s not suitable to bring them in to participate in the trials, just like the string of characters you asked about earlier.

“29 years old, level three. A total of 14 demon beasts have been killed.”

After saying this, Audrey was a little stunned. One had to know that this sentence contained a lot of information.

Although Tier-3 was not considered rare, the last sentence about hunting demonic beasts was enough to stun people. Even if an ordinary person killed one, they would need the cooperation of several people, not to mention such a terrifying number.

Seeing the shock on Audrey’s face, Simon Green smiled. “Miss, so you should know what I mean.”

“Although it’s written on the surface that we’re recruiting, it’s actually a bounty. Everyone here is a bunch of desperadoes who will risk their lives to earn money,” Simon Green exhorted.

The reason he had chosen to reject Audrey’s request was that too many things had happened previously.

In the previous trials, many people had chosen to come here to look for their teammates. However, the people they found had different thoughts. In the end, those who failed the trials ended up with a good end. If it was worse, they would die without a complete corpse.

Audrey lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. She felt that what he said made sense.

It seemed like the path of finding teammates through recruitment was no longer feasible.

Audrey stood up and bowed politely at the person in front of her. “Sorry for disturbing you today. I’ll take my leave first.”

Simon Green hurriedly waved his hand. “No, no, no. You don’t have to be so polite to me. I’m just an ordinary businessman…”

“Even an ordinary person needs to be treated with respect,” Audrey said. “Thank you very much for your help.”

After coming out of the recruitment hall, Audrey looked up at the azure sky, the silhouettes of a few birds reflected in her eyes.

Is it so difficult to find teammates?

Her hands by her side tightened slightly.

Just as she was about to return to Hera and the others to discuss countermeasures, Audrey suddenly sensed a strange aura. She reacted quickly and raised her hand.

The ice swept towards the aura. Before the crowd could react, they saw a strange person crouching in the middle of the road.

Upon closer observation, they could see a block of ice under his feet.

“No, no, this is too fast.” The person smiled awkwardly.

Audrey walked up to him and stretched out her hand. “Give me back my things.”

“What things? I didn’t take anything.” He still wanted to explain.

Audrey looked coldly at the person in front of her. There was not a hint of emotion in her eyes. She was as beautiful as a flower and extremely aggressive.

The man did not look old. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. His hair was disheveled and his face was dirty. His hair was disheveled and hung at the corners of his eyes. He looked very disheveled.

When the crowd saw the boy, they quietly discussed it among themselves.

“Isn’t that Morris? Why is he stealing again?”

“He’s a repeat offender. The kind that won’t change.”

“There’s no other way. His sister is seriously ill. Isn’t she still uncared for? If he didn’t steal, his sister would have died a long time ago.”

Seeing that he could not escape, Morris accepted his fate and handed the wallet that he had just stolen back.

“Here, here. Consider this my bad luck. Now that I’ve met someone as tough as you, can you let me go?”

Audrey did not take the wallet. Instead, she stared straight at Morris.

She was certain that this person was a martial arts prodigy. If it was not for her keen senses, she probably would not have noticed that he had taken her things.

And he seemed to be very flexible.

Audrey frowned. “I can give you the wallet, but I hope that you can come with me.”

Morris, who was frozen in place, smiled wryly. “The main thing is that I have to be able to walk.”

Audrey casually deactivated the spell. “Come with me.”

Morris looked at her back and was secretly excited. He felt that he had finally met someone who was not smart. He had wanted to hide his aura and sneak into the crowd to escape, but in the next second, an ice chain suddenly appeared in his hand.

“There’s no need to think about escaping. You won’t be able to escape.” Audrey looked at him coldly.

Morris had no choice but to follow obediently.

Kate, who was packing up in the assigned room, heard the commotion coming from the door. He hurriedly ran to open the door and immediately saw the disheveled youth behind Audrey.

It was unknown how long it had been since the youth had taken a shower. Not only was his entire body dirty, but even his clothes were torn into shreds. He looked very pathetic.

“Audrey, this is…” Kate asked curiously.

Audrey tugged at the ice chain in her hand and half-dragged the person into the room. “We should have brought a few sets of clothes when we came. Help me prepare one for him.”

Then, she looked at Morris and continued, “Go and bathe. Don’t ask questions.”
