Chapter 131: Magic Letter

Nodding his head, Titus caught the letter from Jessie's hand and started walking towards the house entrance casually.

As he was about to walk past a two-storied house's entrance, he suddenly raised his hand and threw the sealed letter towards the door at a fast speed.

Meanwhile, the letter flew towards the wooden door and soon stuck on the gate between the door and floor.

On the other hand, Titus turned around, started walking towards Jessie hurriedly, and soon both entered the narrow alley.

Within a minute, they arrived in front of another two-storied house and saw a bald man at the entrance. He looked around 50-years-old, had a rough face, and leaned his back at the house wall.

"I will distract his attention," Jessie said as she stealthily gave another letter to Titus and started walking towards the rough-looking man.

"Uncle, do you know where the Wheat Inn is?"

In the meantime, the rough-looking man gave her a curious look and responded with a nod.

"You are searching for it in the wrong street, lass. The Wheat Inn is on Harpy Street and it is three streets away from here."

Jessie wore an embarrassing look on her face and nodded her head.

Titus also stealthily threw the letter towards the entrance, and both went towards their next destination.

On the other hand, the bald man stood at the entrance for another five minutes and turned around to go back inside the house.

At that moment, he saw a red-sealed letter and soon squinted his eyes.

He clearly remembered that no letter was at the entrance when he walked out of his house and became serious.

Suddenly, he thought of the girl who asked him about the right address of Wheat Inn and narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

Shaking his head, he went near the wooden door and picked up the letter.

The next instant, his black eyes widened as he saw strange engravings on the red seal.

"Is it a magic letter?" He asked out loud in shock.

The bald man knew that only mages used these types of letters and became stunned inside.

He then tried to open it, but he couldn't!

At first, the bald man thought of using a scissor to cut the cover, but soon he dismissed that idea.

Then, he turned his attention towards the outer cover and soon read the address and the caution line.

"The letter will open itself at 12.30 P.M?" He stared at the letter for a while and went inside his house.

In the meantime, Titus and Jessie continued their work and finally managed to complete their work in Slum Borough around 10. A.M.

"Let's go to the South Borough," Jessie said as she took the lead, and both walked out of the Slum Borough.

…

Tower of Elements, Seventh Layer.

After walking on the stairs for a long time, Rhea and Noel finally reached the seventh layer and went to the nearby counter to buy entrance tickets.

Then, Rhea went to the nearby counter, brought a Dimension Box, placed her silver ring in it, and gave it back to the receptionist.

After that, both went towards the heavily guarded Museum entrance and walked in.

"Where do you want to go?" Noel gave his short-sword to the nearby guard and asked Rhea.

In the meantime, she thought for a moment and soon looked around the grand hall filled with different types of antiques. After a while, she noticed that section 30 to section 50 were on their right side and started walking in that direction.

Both silently moved towards the right side direction and watched different artifacts, dresses, weapons, crystals, and ornaments in curious. After some time, Noel got bored and started to yawn from time to time.

On the other hand, Rhea began to read the descriptions carefully and started memorizing the contents. She continued to move deep into the museum hall while dragging Noel and soon reached section no.49 around 11.15 A.M.

"This is it," Noel suddenly spoke in excitement.

"Wait. Our teacher warned us that the Avarin gem has some mystic power to make one unconscious. So, we have to be very careful."

Saying so, Rhea first went near the pottery jug, took a silver cup on it, and took a cup of water from the jug. Then, she gave the silver cup to Noel and spoke.

"If I lose my consciousness, wake me up using this water."

Once she said those words, she stepped forward and went towards the nearby sealed glass box.

After standing there for a moment, she moved towards the following box and started reading the description and the artifact's history. On the other hand, Noel gripped the silver cut in his right hand and followed after her footsteps.

Five minutes later, they finally stopped in front of a strange glass cube.

"Avarin Gem." An excitement appeared on Rhea's face as she stared at the hovering red gem for a second and soon turned her gaze towards the description area.

While she was reading, she suddenly noticed Noel started to fall backward while waving his hand pathetically.

At that moment, the water in the silver cup splashed on her face, and then the cup fell.

A second later, Noel also fell on the floor with a loud thud!

"This idiot." Rhea cursed in a loud tone as she picked the silver cup, checked if he was injured or not, and then started running towards the pottery jar.

Meanwhile, the red-gem embedded ring in Noel's right hand started to shine!

Simultaneously, a small waved of invisible energy came out from the silver ring and scanned the surroundings.

After that, the 'Fate Swap' spell matrix engraved on the red gem activated on its own.

A second later, the red Avarin gem inside the cubic glass suddenly turned transparent and then returned to normal!

The silver ring also stopped shining and returned to normal.

A few seconds later, Rhea returned with a cup of water and splashed on his face while scolding angrily.

Rubbing his eyes, Noel opened his deep-set brown eyes and sat up.

"What happened?" He asked in a confused tone.

Upon hearing his question, the corner of Rhea's lips twitched uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath to calm her mind and spoke while turning her attention towards the red gem.

"Go and take a look at the red sword."

Without minding Noel's question look, she stared at the gem for more than 20 seconds and soon got confused.

'Why am I not feeling dizzy?'

'Wait… Did the mystic power go to Noel and increased his wisdom?' An absurd thought appeared in her mind.

She then subconsciously glanced at Noel and smiled bitterly.

'It looks like today is not my lucky day.' She shook her head and started walking towards Noel.

"Did you succeed?" He asked as he patted the dusk on his back.

Shaking her head, Rhea gave a deep look at Noel's face and spoke.

"Let's go back. It's already 11.30."

"What about your personal mission?" Noel got surprised by her words and asked in a hurry.

"Screw it." She said in a sharp tone, grabbed his collar, and dragged him out of section no.49.

Then, they didn't stop anywhere and started walking out of the museum hall.

After that, they took their belongings from the Dimension Box while Noel took his short sword from the Tower Guard and went downstairs from the seventh floor.
