"How is he so brave?" Felina stared at the thief's back in shock .

A Level-6 thief dared to disguise himself, enter a Legendary Magician's Mage Tower, and steal Link's magic notes . The amount of guts he had was crazy .

Felina was now very interested in him .

It was now six in the evening . The sun had just gone down, and there was still some dying light on the flatland . People walked to and fro on the streets of Scorched Ridge . It was still very lively .

The thief walked out of the Mage Tower and onto the streets . He smiled and waved at some Magician's Apprentices that he knew and continued forward .

Reaching an area, he stood at the street corner and talked to the driver of a carriage on the side of the road . Deciding on a price, he climbed in .

The carriage started moving down the avenue from Scorched Ridge to the port .

"He's going to the port . " Felina was about to speed up and pursue him .

"Come back . " Link walked up and stopped her .

"Why?" Felina didn't understand .

"He didn't get on the carriage . Come with me," Link explained as he walked . "There's no one in the carriage, but there must be a magical object radiating with a similar aura . It should be a rune stone while the thief used the Invisibility Spell . "

Also invisible, the two walked along the wall to where the carriage had been . Link pointed at a footprint in the mud . "Look, he walked that way . The thief is very alert and most likely sensed someone following him . "

As he spoke, Link cast the Clear Sign Spell .

All insignificant signals, such as the chatter around them, clattering of hooves, and rumbling of carriages all disappeared . All that remained in Link's eyes was the very faint footprints on the ground and the wisp of aura in the air .

He followed it, and Felina stayed close to him .

"He kept to the wall just like us… Wait, he got rid of the magic aura . Now he's an average person… Look, he appeared . "

The thief reappeared 150 feet away .

He had transformed . His Magician's robe from earlier had turned into light leather armor . His hair that had been in a ponytail was now down . With his change in aura as well, he now seemed completely average .

Felina was so shocked . "Link, are you sure it's him . I don't think so . "

"It's him . His body shape, the way he walks, and his body odor haven't changed at all . Can't you smell it?" Link found it strange . They were both dragons now . Felina should be very sensitive .

Felina shrugged . "There are too many people on the street with too many smells . How can I distinguish it? Anyway, your Dragon Power is more than ten times stronger than mine . "

"Oh, I'm sorry . But it's him . Speed up before he can disguise himself again . " By the end, Link's tone became more rushed .

The thief walked to an intersection and turned left . At the same time, Link felt that the aura he'd been following disappeared . At the same time, there was a blinding smell of garlic . With that smell, Link couldn't distinguish the thief's body odor at all .

The two ran to the intersection, but the thief was gone .

Felina gasped . "He disappeared completely . He's quite talented!"

Link lost him as well, but he wasn't worried . With the help of the spell, he circled this place and finally stopped before a mansion's wall .

"Look, this brick is strange . Look at its veins . " Link pointed at a brick .

Felina looked over . There was fine black dirt on the brick . There was a broken rock at the corner . It was the result of some powerful force .

"He went up to the roof?" Felina looked up . "He put his foot here and another step here… According to the force, he must have gone up to the roof . "

Link didn't rush the conclusion . He continued looking and five seconds later, he said, "Look at the indent in the dark corner . There are some fingerprints . He made it with his thumb . The power is highly condensed . The force of that hit was enough to propel him 65 feet upward… Good, he didn't go onto the roof . Instead, he flew past that house . Look, there's a new footprint there . "

Felina followed Link over . They went into a small alley, and she saw some fresh footprints on the stone ground . It was clear these footprints were used for unloading power . Some of the stone had crumbled .

This time, the thief seemed to think that he'd completely lost his pursuers . The footprints on the ground became obvious . They reached into the alley until they disappeared again, reappearing on the defense wall of Scorched Ridge .

"He climbed out," Felina said .

"Yes . " Link nodded . Felina grabbed the cracks in the wall to climb out, but Link waved his hand . "No need to do that . "

Link pressed against the wall and scratched some spatial runes with his fingers . Then he added Dragon Power and slammed against the wall .

With a poof, the wall turned into a wave-like ripple . Then there was a crack, and an opening appeared . It was very strange . It looked like a splas.h.i.+ng wave . There were glowing transparent ripples around it while the wall surrounding it was undamaged . It was intriguing .

At the same time, many translucent threads appeared in Link's hands . They connected to the spatial ripples around the magic door .

"The Spatial Door is a small spell . Let's go . "

The two walked into the wall . Link closed his fist and the threads grouped together . The glow disappeared too . With a whoosh, the hole created by the strange power closed seamlessly again . There was no sign of destruction on the wall .

Felina glanced over . She was numb to Link's tricks now . This human Magician's power was skyrocketing towards an incomprehensible territory . She couldn't understand it anymore .

Outside the city walls, it was much easier to pursue . There were no stone roads anymore . Instead, there were dirt roads . Footprints were easier to see .

"Ah, it smells . " Felina's clean face scrunched up like a dried orange peel . She waved a hand before her nose .

It couldn't be helped . There was waste all over from horses, sheep, and even humans . There were cleaners, but they weren't effective . All the residents of Scorched City were refugees, and most were farmers . They weren't completely accustomed to city life yet . Dumping their toilets onto the street was a common thing because that was what they did in their villages .

Link also made a face . They followed the footprints and walked forward .

Around the middle of the city, Link suddenly said, "The thief sensed danger again . He's started to speed up . Let's speed up too… I'll cast the Levitation Spell for you . "

Felina had been hopping around on her tiptoes so she wouldn't step onto horse waste . Link got tired of seeing it, so he helped her float . Then, he used the Magician's Hand to lead her forward quickly .

They soon left the city and entered the suburbs .

"He went towards the port . There's probably someone waiting," Felina said .

"Probably . Don't let him escape on a s.h.i.+p . "

Link sped up as well . Here, Felina didn't have to worry about feces anymore . She started sprinting behind Link .

The thief became cautious again in the suburbs . There weren't many traces left behind; he even added some fake ones .

Link and Felina were fast, but they had to keep stopping to check for the marks . Thus, they didn't catch up with the thief .

Half an hour later, they arrived at the port .

Link looked forward . He saw a blurry black shadow jump onto a merchant s.h.i.+p that was slowly leaving the port .

It was obviously strange to leave the port at night .

"He's escaping!" Felina saw it and sped up .

Link wasn't worried . He formed circles with his two thumbs and forefingers . The air inside the circle blurred and formed a two-sided Spatial Lens . Link overlapped them before his eyes, creating a high magnification telescope .

He looked closely at the figure with his telescope . After three seconds, he said, "The thief left but his magic notes disappeared . "

Felina stopped . "You mean he was purposely distracting us and making us chase him?"

In order to pretend to be an apprentice, the thief didn't bring any tools or spatial storage gear . He put the notes on him after getting it . Link saw it clearly when he left the Mage Tower .

But now, something felt wrong when he saw the thief jump onto the s.h.i.+p . He made a telescope to check and confirmed that the thief had transferred the notes .

Link's thoughts whirred . A few seconds later, he said, "Felina, here . You follow the thief but don't catch up . Stay back . "

"Understood . " Felina knew what Link wanted . The thief had transferred the notes so somebody must be on the other end . By chasing the thief, the other would think she was fooled by the thief and think he was safe . Link would hide and catch him .

Felina sped up and rushed to the s.h.i.+p .

Link remained invisible . He crept forward in the shadows . Following the thief's marks, he walked around 1000 feet and reached the cargo storage area .

Here, the cargo was piled up like mountains . Some had just been taken off s.h.i.+ps while others were going to be put on s.h.i.+ps . It was a mess .

Closer, Link could feel the tracking rune he put on the notes . In order to not catch the thief's attention, it was very weak . He could barely use it to track the notes . But at a close distance, Link could feel it clearly .

He didn't go take it . Instead, he found a hidden corner and started waiting patiently .

Three hours pa.s.sed . It was now around ten o'clock . The bustling port had quieted down, and the pedestrians lessened . Just then, an average-looking worker walked over . He looked side to side nervously .

When he got to the cargo storage area, he felt around and then left . Link could see clearly that he was holding something . He also contained the notes' aura .

Link still didn't appear because it was obvious the worker was cannon fodder . Someone must have paid him to do something . He didn't know what he was holding at all . Link didn't startle him . He just followed the worker from afar .

The worker kept walking forward and left the port . He walked to the highland beside the port . There was a lighthouse there . He got to the lighthouse and took out the papers, placing them in the crack between two rocks .

After that, he ran back to the port as fast as he could .

Link waited patiently . Three minutes later, a shadow walked out from behind the lighthouse . It was thin and tall with pointed ears . When the shadow got closer, Link could see her porcelain-white skin and fine features . She had a unique elemental aura about her .

She was a High Elf—one that had just left the Isle of Dawn .

Things were getting complicated .
