Chapter 76
Carrying a large bag and heading somewhere in the dead of night when everyone else is asleep.
Constantly looking around to make sure no one else sees him, nervously checking his surroundings—anyone would find such behavior highly suspicious.
Escape under the cover of night.
That was the phrase that came to the magician’s mind.
“…You’re asking if anyone is close to Max? Probably not. He often said that this place isn’t where he’s supposed to be and that one day he would leave to become a royal magician.”
The magician’s demeanor completely changed after receiving the gold coins. The previously slouched and indifferent attitude was gone, replaced by the utmost courtesy, as if he was serving a VVIP.
Although his eyes occasionally drifted to Ashié’s pockets, that was understandable.
“There are ways to make them courteous without spending money. Want me to show you?”
Especially effective for magicians.
