Li Wen When I returned to White Deer Inn, the afternoon sun was casting blurry spots of light on the ground through the window at the end of the corridor. She pushed open the door and locked it with her backhand.

There are still two days left before the time agreed with the two apprentices to enter Arcane Academy. For Li Wen, who is accustomed to efficient action, this gap period seems particularly long. Camelot has an undercurrent, and the information disclosed by Iluri means a potentially huge risk. She needs to make full use of this time to thoroughly clarify her current situation and be fully prepared for the upcoming in-depth Sunday Secret College.

She walked to the oak table in the room and slowly put down the two items she received from Iluri.

The first is the pair of dark gray gloves made of Shadow Beast leather. Its surface has no luster, and it feels soft and cold to the touch.

[Grasp of Shadows]

[Armor - Gloves - Rare (Purple)]

[It is stitched from the tanned leather of Shadow Beast and the demonized silk thread of Phase Spider, with the power of dark assimilation attached to it. The shadow is not nothingness, but a door to the back of everything.]

[Shadow Walk (2/2): Consumes 25% of magic power to turn the wearer into a shadow within three seconds, and can pass through any physical entity without magic runes or seals. Can be used twice daily.]

The other item is the amulet engraved with ancient oath runes. It lay quietly on the table, looking inconspicuous.

[Sage's Protection]

[Accessories/Consumables-Amulets-Rare (Purple)]

[It is not strength that protects you and me, but knowledge.]

[Sage's Protection: When the holder suffers a fatal attack, the talisman will be automatically triggered, completely negating all damage from the attack. When triggered, the talisman will completely shatter.]

Li Wen puts on Grasp of Shadows. The gloves are cool and flexible to the touch, fit perfectly in the palm of the hand, and there is no sluggishness in fingertip movements. She tried to inject a bit of magic into it, and the gray leather on the surface of the gloves seemed to come alive, squirming slightly and exuding a faint shadow aura. This item is extremely valuable, especially for stealth and exploration, and is even more useful than many offensive items.

Sage's Protection was worn close to her body, and the gray-white stone pieces were close to her skin, giving off a strange and reassuring comfort. Although it is only a one-time ability, it will undoubtedly become a life-saving trump card at critical moments.

Considering that there was still plenty of time ahead, after putting away the two new pieces of equipment, Li Wen began to systematically count the items he held. She took out the things in Fairy Treasure Bag one by one and placed them on the bed and table in categories.

In terms of weapons, Crow Feather Dagger is still the main weapon. Its enchantment effect is extremely effective against flesh and blood and cannot be replaced for the time being.

In terms of defense, before obtaining the characteristics of Lost Moth, Eye of the Transcendent is undoubtedly a powerful life-saving equipment, and it is also the key to traveling to and from Amber City. However, the cooldown time is long and must be used with caution. In addition, there is Emerald Star Cloak, the shield ability it provides is very effective, and the effect of resetting the progress of Twilight Erosion is needless to say. Ring of Fiery Passion originally existed as a backup treatment and dispersal method, but it has lost its effect after being affected by the divinity of Impurities.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wen picked up a short-neck bottle made of lapis lazuli. Inside was a slowly flowing gold-like bright liquid, which was emitting a mysterious and shining brilliance through the cyan bottle.

This is True Soul Elixir, which she got when she was Leicester. When she faced Impurities that day, all the items on her body were affected by its divine power. Only this bottle of potion still seemed to be shining and moving. It can only be said that it is a legendary potion.

As for some other magic potions or consumables, they were simply skipped after confirming that they were in good condition.

After that, Li Wen took out a piece of white paper with blood written on it.

[Blood Contract (Spear of Death Curse)]

[Consumables-Contract (Tilroggzak)-Rare (Purple)]

[If a contract is made in blood, it will last forever.]

[Consume 50% of life or kill one person as a sacrifice to summon Spear of Death Curse. The duration is 1 day and the cooling time is 1 day. Not available.]

This was the trophy obtained by Black Dragon Territory after defeating Pastor Mog, the demon Tilroggzak. Tilroggzak used it to summon a spear with instant death ability, which was very powerful.

Because this thing cannot be used by anyone else while the contract owner is alive. In addition, there is no shortage of damaging weapons or abilities, so Li Wen has always been ranked at the bottom of the box.

However, now Crow Feather Dagger is gradually unable to keep up with the battle, especially after being weakened. Once faced with enemies with extremely high defense, such as gargoyles, it is useless. This weapon with instant death capability may be used as a trump card to effectively open up the situation.

The only trouble lies in changing the contract object. Tilroggzak is a demon, which means that in the method that Li Wen is familiar with, she must first find a demon and kill him. This may be too difficult for Camelot, the holy city in the lake and the center of royal power. However, it cannot be said with absolute certainty. After all, the leader of Dark Dawn and the owner of Tilroggzak, the former Court Mage Siswell, is also active in this city.

There will always be a chance, Li Wen has this hunch.

Finally, there are sundries, some change, food and water, basic tools, spare clothing and armor, writing utensils, etc...

In the process of counting the clutter, several things she had forgotten for a long time reappeared in front of her. It was an envelope sealed with fire paint, and a yellow Copper Key of unknown purpose.

Memories came to her mind. These two things were the same as Ring of Fiery Passion, the relics of the Fire Mage she killed. The hybrid elf Fire Mage was the first powerful enemy she faced when she was reborn, but that was also because she was too weak at the time. If it were now, she could make the other person die in the process of casting the spell just by looking at him.

But speaking of it, that guy seems to be Arcane Academy's apprentice, and he seems to have stolen Arcane Academy's secret treasure. But the most valuable relic in his body is just a Shattered Eye of the Transcendent, which really cannot be called a "secret treasure".

Maybe it's hidden somewhere else or in someone's hands?

Li Wen picked up the envelope. The surface of the letter paper seemed wrinkled due to long-term storage, but the writing on it was still clearly legible - "Hackenlo Street 21, addressed to Ms. Melina".

Hackenlo Street...

Li Wen walked to the window and unfolded the city map he purchased not long ago. She slid her fingers along the regular streets of the city and soon found the sign "Hackenlo Street" only two blocks away.

So close? Could it be a coincidence?
