Chapter 65: Event Aftermath
"Damn it! Damn those rich bastards!!" cursed a red-haired young woman, followed closely by two adept wizard guards.
"Y-Young Miss Ennya, please don’t curse so much. If anyone hears and recognizes you, your reputation could be tarnished. As the future Magna of Flames and Master Freyra’s successor, you sh–"
"Aihhh! Successor this, successor that! Can’t I even vent about not being able to buy what I want?!"
For the first time since she was taken in by her master, Freyra Solbrand—the Magna of Flames before the current one—Ennya was granted two months of freedom to gain experience in the outside world.
However, she was restricted to wizard shops, the Imperial Wizard Guild, and the Solbrand Residence.
She wasn’t allowed to visit unnecessary establishments or the Grand Magic Academy to meet with her friends.
Of course, Freyra Solbrand wouldn’t allow her disciple to be assassinated by the Fellkin, so aside from the two adepts guarding her openly, a squad of Elite Wizards also followed her from the shadows, though Ennya had no idea how heavily protected she was.
She was granted permission to join an auction held at Azmarin City, as there were apparently 50 superior-grade common-tier elemental staves for sale made by the disciples of Master Arcanists.
To her delight, the champion’s artifact was a Fire Elemental Staff, boasting unreal boosts for a mere common-tier weapon and the only mastercraft grade among all the staves.
Alas, the money she had earned from the E-ranked hunting missions she just completed wasn’t enough to win her the staff.
Ennya was ruthlessly slapped by the reality that she couldn’t contend against the rich merchants, at least not for now.
