Malespera thought Evan was underestimating her, and it made her mad. She decided that the books Evan gave her were so detailed because they weren't ant for the smartest people.
In just a few minutes, Malespera learned Magic Missile and successfully cast the spell three tis in a row. White beams of condensed mana slamd into the boulder, and there was a deafening explosion.
"See! It's too easy, one drawing is enough for , no need to waste ti." Said the girl grudgingly.
Evan sighed and shook his head. He wasn't ready to beco a babysitter, much less a babysitter for such an unusual girl. But, he decided he would help her, at least for a while. She was an interesting specin, and more importantly, she would beco incredibly strong in the future. Evan would need people like that later on, which is why he considered Malespera an investnt.
"Okay, you got figured out, I didn't expect you to be so smart. When we get ho, I'll give you all the spells I have, but you only took the first step, no need to be arrogant." Calmly Evan said and cast Magic Missile, along with Foundation.
Two beams flew out toward the rock, and a powerful explosion destroyed part of it. It was many tis more powerful than the one Malespera had been able to make. It was obvious, but the girl was thrilled by what she saw.
"Why were there two beams?" The girl asked, puzzled.
"Back in town, then you'll find out," Evan replied and headed on his way.
"Do you live in this place?" Malespera asked, pointing to Inlas. The town was visible in the distance.
"Not yet, but it can be fixed."
Malespera didn't understand what Evan ant, but she didn't bother him with questions. She wanted to know about sothing more important.
"Hey, Evan..." Malespera said shyly. She didn't have the confidence in her now that she had after the tragedy in the village.
"What?"
"You said you could use magic to change fate..."
Evan nodded.
"Then, is there such a spell that can bring my brother back to life?" The girl said timidly.
"Good question, but I can't give you an exact answer. I don't know such a spell myself, and I don't know anyone who would. But, like you, I'm a long way from climbing to the top of this world. I'm sure that if you beco stronger, resurrecting a re human won't be a problem for you."
Evan's words encouraged Malespera. For her, it was the last ray of hope in this world. She had changed her mind about this world, but her love for her little brother was going nowhere.
"Evan, do you travel alone?"
Evan hesitated, and after a few seconds, replied, "Not really, I have another companion besides you, it's just not human. Reykar."
Whoooosh.
As soon as Evan called out to the raven, it imdiately appeared on his shoulder. Reykar was not part of the battle against the fire monster. But it was thanks to him that Evan was able to kill the crocodile so quickly.
"Is that a monster...?" Malespera was frightened. The scene of the monster killing her brother was still before her eyes.
Evan just nodded: "He's my mate, but don't you dare tell anyone about it. Let's just say it might get in extra trouble, which I don't want."
"Understood."
...
After a while, they reached Inlas. Evan realized that so organization was after him, he had killed their informant who was bringing them huge profits. But, it didn't bother Evan, he knew that that group of five was an elite unit of an organization called - "Hell Bulls."
This organization was one of the five strongest in all Inlas. Each head of these organizations was at the "Two-Pointed Star" stage and had broken through three "Barriers." They had one last step to take to move to the next level, but it wasn't that simple.
When the mage made a breakthrough and passed to the stages - "One-Pointed Star" and "Two-Pointed Star," he didn't encounter any barriers. But, breaking through to the next stage was many tis more difficult. Evan didn't know the reasons for the increased difficulty, the informant didn't have that information.
Nevertheless, he knew that breaking through to the "Three-Pointed Star" stage was several tis more difficult than all the previous breakthroughs combined. This stage held so secrets Evan knew nothing about yet.
When they entered the slums, Malespera asked: "Evan, which way is our house?"
"Just go straight ahead, it might be too dangerous to live here. We need a quiet and peaceful place."
Evan thought about settling in another town, but he decided to stay in Inlas. Another similar cri town was too far away. Moreover, Evan wanted to conduct illegal experints, and only here could he find everything he needed.
Evan wasn't going to live in the slums, he had enough money to buy his own place in the central area. Evan had 50,000 gold coins with him at the mont, and that was really a lot of money. People living in the slums hardly ever received a single gold coin in ten years of work. In Inlas, there was an incredible gap in the population in terms of wealth.
So worked all their lives for a few gold coins, while others ate dinner for the sa amount every day.
As Evan and Malespera walked toward the central area, so of the residents grinned at them. Evan sighed and thought,
