The Genius Mage Chapter 114
Advertisement
After Morris was pushed into the bathroom with his head pressed down, Kate carefully sized him up from outside the door. In the end, he chose to leave.
Kate found clothes that seemed to be of a more suitable size from his luggage. He placed them outside the bathroom, greeted the youth inside, and left the room.
Jill and Kate looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Audrey was already standing outside the house. Kate walked over and asked, "Audrey, who's the gentleman in there?"
"Him? He's just a little thief that I caught in the market." Audrey's tone did not sound happy or angry.
Kate was a little puzzled. He had heard that the market here was more chaotic and had a habit of stealing. He had not expected Audrey to meet him the moment she stepped out of the house.
But why had she chosen to capture him instead of sending him directly to the Templar Knights?
This was something that Kate could not figure out no matter how hard he tried.
"Is there a reason why you captured him?" Jill asked.
Audrey replied, "You'll know when he comes out."
When Morris finished showering and changed his clothes, he realized that two people were waiting for him outside.
When he walked out, Kate was momentarily surprised.
This was because the young man in front of her was very handsome. His skin was fair and clean, and his brows and eyes looked very gentle. He did not look like the disheveled appearance he had just now. Instead, he was like a completely different person.
Morris sensed Audrey's gaze and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Well, thank you for bringing me back. You even made me take a shower and change my clothes."

Audrey looked straight at him as though she was not surprised by his transformation. "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course I do. You're the honorable miss Audrey," Morris replied.
When they had appeared in the city, Morris had already been thinking about them, but he was still trying to find an opportunity to strike.
One had to know that this group of nobles was born into a wealthy family, so they must have a lot of money. Therefore, if he managed to strike once, he would rest for a long time.
However, he did not expect that he would be caught this time.
Audrey nodded slightly. "It seems like you know me. But, then, I have a few questions to ask you. I hope that you can answer them truthfully."
"Yes." Morris nodded.
Audrey asked, "What realm are you at now?"
"A level-19 fighter master. Although I'm already trying my best to break through, it's still a little difficult." Morris felt embarrassed.
After all, at his age, the level of a level-19 fighter master could be said to be very low. Therefore, it was very difficult even to receive recruitment. This resulted in him being forced to go to the market every day to steal things to get by.
A trace of surprise clearly flashed across Audrey's face when she heard this answer.
This person was actually only level-19?
When she was clearly at the market earlier, her aura was concealed so well. Even with her powerful perception, she could barely catch a trace of it. So she thought that the other party was at least a strong Ancestor.
From the looks of it, this person in front of her was indeed somewhat useful.
"If I remember correctly, your sister should be seriously ill right now, and she hasn't been treated in time, right?" Audrey asked.

Morris had an unnatural look on his face.
Just as she had said, Morris's sister had a very serious illness. It was not that the illness could not be treated, but it required a lot of time and energy.
The main thing was financial resources. Just buying the medicine would cost a lot of money. With his family's circumstances, he would not be able to afford the high medical fees.
Audrey saw the expression on his face and suggested, "How about this? Let's make a deal. I know you have an invitation letter. An invitation letter is what I need, and you need my help."
Kate's expression changed slightly. He seemed to be able to guess what this sentence meant.
Audrey wanted to invite this person to join them!
"Audrey!" Jill exclaimed.
Hera's beautiful brows furrowed slightly. "I think it's better to think it through."
Audrey's expression was calm. "I've already thought it through."
She looked up at Morris. "Let's discuss it. I'll be in charge of treating your sister's illness, and you'll be participating in the selection of the Templar Knights with us. I won't ask you for the money you stole from me today. I'll also be in charge of your sister's medical expenses."
After hearing this, Morris looked at her with a probing gaze.
How did this honorable miss Audrey know that he had an invitation card with her?
Originally, after receiving the invitation from the Templar Knights, Morris had no intention of participating. He only wanted to take care of his sister in peace, but now...
One had to know that what he lacked the most recently was money for the medical expenses.
If the young miss in front of him could really solve this problem, it would not be a problem for him to take on a demon beast, much less participate in the trial.
"However, I have a condition." Audrey's faint voice sounded in his ear. "During the trial, you are not allowed to do anything that will harm us. Otherwise, everything I said just now will be nullified."
Morris hurriedly nodded. "I know that. As long as you can treat my sister's illness, I'll do anything you want!"
"Audrey, this isn't good, is it?" Kate's expression was clearly a little worried.
One had to know that this person was a habitual thief. He might even try to cover his tracks. If they were not prepared, it might even be dangerous.
Audrey only glanced at her, then shook her head gently.
"Since you've thought it through, I'll go find Shadowless Ghost Hands now and get him to assign you a new room." Audrey stood up, patted the dust from the corner of her skirt, and looked at Morris.
"Welcome to the team."

The Demon’s Bride
Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her.«Master Ian!» She called.Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. «Where did you acquire that dress?»«Mr. Harland gave it to me.» Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance.«Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?» He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. «I don’t know.»His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. «Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.»He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. «Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.» He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. «And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.»

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
