Chapter 14: Precious Gifts


    ire definitely wasn’t a kind hearted person. That old man Cliff currently wanted ire so much that his eyes turned red. It was a pity that he didn’t discover this point. Jean slowed down, waited until the two were in front, and then followed behind.


    “Why would I want to be your disciple?” ire frowned in a reluctant manner.


    “If you be my disciple, you could walk sideways.” Cliff stuck out his chest ostentatiously, looking like an upstart. Well, of course this was true! Not only was Cliff perverted, but he was also very protective. Even if his disciples were in the wrong first, he would still side with them and protect them like a mother hen would to her chicks from the eagle whenever they needed it! Of course, bing his disciple wasn’t easy, it was actually very hard. So far, he had only two disciples. ire was going to be his third.


    “What’s so good about this?” ire looked disdainful, “I don’t see anything good. Get something more realistic.”


    Cliff opened and closed his mouth and rolled his eyes, but he was actually very happy. The little beauty saying those words meant there was a chance!


    “Here you go, little beauty. Once you crush this, you can summon the spirit of a two-winged angel to protect you.” Out of nowhere, a ne appeared in Cliff’s hand. The pendant was translucent, shaped like a teardrop, glittering in the sun. He had gotten this when he won a bet with that disgraceful, despicable, vulgar geezer. He had won so much in that bet that it made up for the fact that none of his disciples were as good as the geezer’s disciples.


    ire grabbed it with one hand without the slightest trace of modesty. Looking at Cliff who didn’t look pained at all, ire knew this valuable item was probably nothing to him.


    “Now can you call me master?” Cliff asked, with a little heehee.


    But ire swung the ne about and said, “You can only use this once, and it disappears after you crush it, right? What happens if the other person is very strong and instakills the thing that I summon? Then wouldn’t I be dead anyways? Your disciple, the principal of the Sunrise Institute, gave his disciple the Breeze Bracelet.” ire swung the ne around in the air disdainfully. But to herself she thought, this guy is a Wizard Sage, so he should have a lot more good stuff. And he wants to fool me with this?


    Cliff blinked his eyes, not looking guilty at all, and suddenly startedughing craftily. “What’s good about that! Here, I’ll give you this and this.” With a wave of his hand, more items appeared out of thin air. ire knew that Cliff must have the legendary Space Storage to pull things out of nowhere. But whether it was a Space Ring or a Space Bag she couldn’t know for sure.


    “What are those?” ire asked, staring, baffled at the inconspicuous items in Cliff’s hands.


    “This is an Invisibility Cape. It can make you invisible, but only for ten minutes. This is a Transportation Bracelet, but because it is such an advanced spell, it is impossible to carve theplete magic loop into the bracelet, so it can only let you transport backwards fifteen meters. But, it’s already enough to escape in times of danger. And, this little bow is a magical weapon. All you need to do is to infuse it with magic and a magic arrow will appear, and ording to the nature of the user the bow will shoot a magic arrow. You’re of the Fire element, so when the arrow hits there will also be a me explosion.” Cliff started tough craftily, knowing that these devices were very valuable, much more precious than Lashia’s Breeze Bracelet. The first item was very very very valuable! If a treasure like this fell into the hands of an assassin, even for ten minutes, it could be deadly. As for the second item, what does transporting backwards fifteen meters in a second mean? All magicians try to avoid physicalbat, because to them, the further away from the opponent the better. Thest item, the little bow, was very beautiful, with engraved golden flowers that released a faint magical aura. Carving the magic loop into the engravings was very elegant and thoughtful of the builder.


    “Yes, thank you.” Although ire epted all gifts like she was entitled to them. She felt very satisfied with the perverted old man’s generosity.


    “Hehe, little beauty, now can you call me master?” Cliff said, grinning from ear to ear with his eyebrows raised.


    “Yes~ Well~” ire’s face suddenly became serious. “I’ve told you that I already have a teacher. He is my first teacher, and if you want to be my master, then you have to be my second master, ranked behind him. This is my only condition.”


    Cliff’s bubbly expression finally changed. Second master? He had never heard of this kind of title. He, a Wizard Sage, was ranked behind someone else? Was this a joke?


    “Is that person also a Wizard Sage?” Cliff asked sulkily.


    “No.” ire shook her head, her face unusually serious. “This is my only condition, that I’m not willing topromise.”


    “Okay.” Surprisingly, Cliff straightforwardly replied because he already had nned to. Then, Cliff looked at ire cheerily, “Now can you let me hear you call me Master?”


    “Master.” ire called out straightforwardly.


    “Haha, hahahaha... Good! Good! Good!!!” Cliffughed heartily to the skies,ughed so hard that he almost fell off his horse. Finally, this time he could hold his head up in front of that foolish geezer!!


    Jean, still trailing a long way behind, saw Cliffughing so hard he was convulsing and almost fell off the horse. Jean understood what happened immediately. Cliff took ire as his disciple? Heavens! Such an unimaginable thing really happened?! Just what was so extraordinary about ire that he himself didn’t discover? Why would a legendary figure like Cliff be so fond of ire? Jean was totally baffled. But, he must report this news to the Duke immediately. Also, to that person...


    “My darling disciple, why are you going to Gale Gorge?” Cliff blinked and looked at ire’s bosom pervertedly.


    “To dig up medicinal herbs and earn money. Also, killing some low level magic beasts to gain experience,” ire said casually. ire didn’t want too many people to know anything about the spiritual arcanum, moreover, this was her first master Emery’s treasured asset. Also, ire saw the drastic change on Cliff’s face when she told him he was the second master, so it would be wise not to mention the first master before the second.


    “Oh. Well, that knight is pretty strong, probably already a Grand Swordsman. With him aspany you won’t be in any danger. I still have other business to settle, and need to go visit some people. After youplete your missione see me at the Magician Council. I will try my hardest to teach you everything I know.” Cliff said all these in a rxed manner. Now that he had sessfully taken ire as his disciple, he really needed to hurry back and settle that business.


    ire was very surprised. First because of what Cliff said about Jean, and second, something that could make Cliff so worried was definitely not anything small. Wasn’t Jean just a Grand Warrior? Why would Cliff say that he’s a Grand Swordsman? Jumping up two levels at once? So Jean has been hiding his strength all along? And it was obvious to ire how important she was to Cliff. But, as her master, Cliff didn’t follow along and give her instructions, and instead hurried back to the city. It must be something of really big importance.
