Clearing the Battlefield

Fran looked at the red liquid she had directly transformed using the Blood of the Furnace, and with a thought, she turned the liquid back into its original form.

Suddenly, a figure fell to the ground in front of her with a thud, lifeless.

"Thankfully it's over." Fran rubbed her brain, which was already overly tense from the intense spellcasting.

She lowered her head, paused for a moment, and then looked up to recall the battle that had just taken place.

Connor's sudden approach caught her off guard; she had expected to take another stab before he could unleash the Blood of the Furnace at close range.

But Connor slowly walked over, allowing her to finish him off effortlessly.

As she transformed the other person into red liquid, she clearly heard Connor shout those words.

This made her frown. If the person opposite her were an ordinary person, in theory, they wouldn't be able to utter a single word; they would simply be 'refined' into a pool of red liquid in an instant.

However, Connor was a second-tier Profession, and he seemed to have some resistance to these spells that could affect his body, which prevented Connor from turning into a puddle of red liquid so quickly.

This served as a reminder to Fran that she should be wary of high-level Profession in the future and only use the Blood of the Furnace when it is as safe as possible. Otherwise, it wouldn't be funny if the opponent risked their life to take her down with them at the last moment.

And then there's the transmitter Connor mentioned at the end; Fran knows why the other party brought it up.

It was probably because the other party recognized that the Spell Ring on his body was so high-level that they believed there really was a Fourth Order Mage behind him.

This transmitter might attract someone who is close to Connor and will investigate his death.

Connor said all this because he didn't want this person to bother Fran anymore.

Whether or not to deal with the transmitter is Fran's business.

In this matter, Connor was also taking a gamble. He bet that Fran would want to avoid some unnecessary trouble, so she would destroy the transmitter herself.

Fran walked outside the tent, used her Telekinetic Hand to empty everything inside, and then used those Telekinetic Hand to pick up the black package.

It's still necessary to be cautious; what if what Connor is talking about is a trap?

Then Fran unleashed Fireball from a distance, directly striking the black package in mid-air, the Dragon Flame scorching it black once more.

Fran didn't sense any magical fluctuations during this process, so she figured the transmitter had turned to ashes.

After dealing with this important matter, Fran began cleaning up the Battlefield.

It was called cleaning up the Battlefield, but in reality, it was just taking away the valuable items from the corpses, piling up the remaining items, and then using Dragon Flame to erase all traces.

Amidst the flames, Fran looked at the black residue within the fire; it had mostly turned to ash.

Fran then lowered her head to take stock of her gains from the battle.

She found more than a dozen books in the tent. Apart from the novels and erotic books, the only valuable one was a book containing geographical information.

At the same time, she also found a stack of silver paper in a locked box, on which were recorded many Combat Technique, which should be the Combat Technique of the Blood Wolf Knights.

However, Fran glanced at them briefly and realized that these Combat Technique were somewhat outdated. If she had just left the City of Apprentices, then these Combat Technique would still be useful.

But now that she has the Sunflame Arts, it's so useful that she doesn't even need these Combat Technique anymore.

Incidentally, in the battle just now, she defeated a Tier 2 enemy using Sunflame, so all of her Sunflame Arts increased by about 600 points.

Even the First Order spell she just cast had a significant proficiency bonus.

However, despite the significant increase, these Arts, which are quite useful in First Order, are still some distance from being mastered.

Fran continued looking at her haul, which was a thick, long, silver piece with an extremely irregular shape.

The entire film was like a token, and from the moment Fran saw it, she knew that this thing was no ordinary item.

However, Fran didn't know what this thing was, only that it was a good item, and it was protected in a box similar to the Combat Technique.

Fran shook her head, put the item aside, and began to take inventory of the other things.

In fact, the armor and weapons of those knights contained many special metals.

Although Fran had damaged the metal of these weapons beyond recognition, rendering them unusable, the metal itself was still worth a lot of money.

Fran couldn't take all the metal with her, because her only means of transportation was a Black Horse, which couldn't carry much.

So Fran could only select some metals that interested her, break them into pieces, and put them in a bag.

Fran also found some coins on the knights and inside their tents.

Fran did the final calculation and found that all the money added up to only about 23 gold coins, which made her curse these knights as being really poor.

That was about all the valuable items she found on the knights; the rest she burned to ashes with Dragon Flame.

Finally, she looked at the fence where the tent used to be, where about a dozen horses were still tethered.

The horses were now bowing their heads to her Black Horse, as if they were terrified.

These horses were selected from various places by the Blood Wolf Knights. They would often fight and frolic among themselves when they were together, none of them willing to submit to the other.

However, they were somewhat intimidated when faced with Fran's Black Horse, after all, after several modifications, Fran's Black Horse could be considered a true Magic Creature.

To these horses, Fran's Black Horse was an individual that looked just like them, but was no different from a monster in reality and on the inside; it was normal for them to be afraid.

Fran looked at the horses and felt that this problem was very difficult to solve.

These horses were like a double-edged sword to her; they were worth some money, though she could sell them.

Fran's next destination is the Northern Territory, a place so remote that even humans struggle to move freely.

The mounts that actually run in the Northern Territory are all superior breeds selected by nature. If these horses really went to the Northern Territory with her, they would dare to die the very next day.

So after thinking it over, Fran finally untied the ropes and let the horses go wherever they wanted; she couldn't be bothered to interfere.

Fran mounted her Black Horse and rode along the path that had become somewhat difficult to traverse due to her continuous use of [Earth Uplift].

The Black Horse sped off toward the Northern Territory.
