Otherwise, he would never have the idea of ​​stealing anything here.

Since everything in the Witch Grocery Store is clearly priced, the boy quickly targeted the most expensive items in the store.

Especially the [Advanced Sonic Boom Horn] with a price tag of 70,000 gold coins hanging on the shelf made his heart beat faster involuntarily and his breathing became rapid.

If he could steal this thing, even if he could sell it at half the price in the next city, it would be enough for him to hide in a village where no one knew him and spend the rest of his life.

As the saying goes, wealth is gained through risk!

In order to live a good life away from the fighting between the sons of Baal, the boy took a deep breath and said to the female apprentice guarding the counter at the door: "I want to buy this!"

Instantly!

All the customers on the first floor subconsciously raised their heads and stared at this little guy with shocked and disbelieving eyes, not believing that a six or seven-year-old child could cough up a huge sum of 70,000 gold coins.

The female apprentice obviously didn't believe it either, and immediately came over and asked in a skeptical tone: "Are you sure? This powerful magic item is worth 70,000 gold coins! Do you know how big a pile of 70,000 gold coins is when put together?"
p>

"Of course I know! Stop talking nonsense! Help me take it off the shelf." The boy urged, pretending to be impatient.

The reason why he didn't just take it and run away was mainly because he was afraid that there would be a fatal magic trap up there.

You must know that many stores that sell expensive items will install anti-theft systems on some of their most valuable items.

Some are just simple alarms, but others will spray acid, fire, lightning at the thief, or directly open the door to an extra-dimensional space and throw the person into a demiplane and lock him up.

For example, Waterdeep City's famous armor-making master, Hillmore, has some armors in his shop that are blessed with activation spells.

When a thief enters, these armors will come alive and attack.

"Well, I hope you really brought enough money to pay the bill.

You must know that making trouble here will cost you dearly.

We may not care about you as a child, but your parents will suffer huge losses because of this."

After saying these warning words, the female apprentice still reached out and took the [Advanced Sonic Boom Horn] off the shelf and handed it to the boy.

Before she could ask for payment, the boy suddenly grabbed the horn that emitted golden light, then hit the female apprentice's soft belly hard, turned around and rushed towards the door.

"Here's the God of Guards, Helm! My eyes are dazzled, or I'm experiencing an illusion. How dare someone in Baldur's Gate rob a witchcraft grocery store?"

"Hahahaha! There's something exciting to watch now!"

"I bet that boy is from out of town and doesn't understand what robbery means here."

"Yeah! I hope he doesn't pee his pants after being caught!"

All of a sudden, the customers who were still selecting their favorite magic items all acted like they were watching a show.

"Damn little bastard! I knew it!"

The female apprentice who was knocked down quickly got up from the ground, glared fiercely at the figure who was about to rush towards the door, and immediately used her authority to seal the exit.

The next second...

Bang!

As expected, the boy hit an invisible force field wall.

Because he rushed too hard, he was knocked over by the huge reaction force and fell to pieces.

Just when he was about to activate his daily random teleportation ability to escape, he suddenly saw an old man wearing a purple robe appearing out of thin air in the hall, asking in a majestic voice: "What's going on? Why do you need to activate the protective spell to close it?"

Entrance?"

"Master Habaser! It's that damn little bastard! He wants to steal the [Advanced Sonic Boom Horn] worth 70,000 gold coins!" The female apprentice quickly told the reason.

"Huh? What!"

Habaser was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to the boy who was struggling to get up from the ground, with a terrifying light flashing in his pupils.

Although his appearance looks the same as before, he is actually in the form of an immortal lich, so his whole body exudes an unsettling aura of fear.

As the son of Baal, the boy obviously felt that the Lich's body was full of negative energy symbolizing death. He immediately became extremely nervous and alert, and activated the teleportation ability without saying a word.

Instantly!

Dazzling white light spurted out from his body, and then the whole person disappeared.

This scene not only dumbfounded the female apprentice and the customers who were watching, but even Habaser himself was a little confused.

After all, teleportation magic is not something that just any mage can cast.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the long-distance teleportation technique of the fifth ring. It requires at least a LV9 mage and a warlock level to learn it.

The fourth-ring short-distance arbitrary door also requires LV7 mage and warlock levels.

Generally speaking, even rare geniuses are basically twenty-five to thirty years old when they reach this level.

As for ordinary mages, they may not be able to cross the threshold of LV5 after working hard for a lifetime.

But now?

A boy who looked to be only six or seven years old actually instantly cast a four- or even five-ring teleportation spell in public, without chanting even a single syllable of the incantation or making any spell-casting movements.

It’s incredible!

At this moment, Habaser even forgot about the stolen [Advanced Sonic Boom Horn] worth 70,000 gold coins, and developed a strong interest in the boy himself.

He quickly cast several prophecy spells, and quickly confirmed the boy's current location by locating objects and people.

Immediately afterwards, he also performed a flawless teleportation, instantly crossing a huge distance in space and appearing directly near the rugged mountainous area, just blocking the boy's path.

It was obviously the first time for the latter to experience being caught just after randomly teleporting, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

But the problem is that the teleportation ability has been used once today, and there is no way to use it a second time within 24 hours.

So in desperation, he could only throw the [High-Level Sonic Boom Horn] towards the lich, turn around and run away.

Habaser casually used a mage's hand to catch the horn, then touched his chin and whispered with interest: "No other spells were cast, and no teleportation was carried out again...

If nothing else, it should just be a natural spell-like ability.

Interesting!

Let me find out whether you are the descendant of some powerful magical creature, the blood of an alien creature, or you have received some kind of blessing."

As the last word blurted out, the Lich quickly blessed himself with a flying technique, jumped into the air and chased after him.

In mid-air, he took out an activated rope from the dimensional bag he carried and threw it from a high altitude.

After the boy found out, he immediately pulled out the dagger and tried to cut the rope.

But unfortunately, his strength was too weak and he could not easily cut the tough rope, and he was quickly tied up.

"Oh - I've been really unlucky recently!"

After realizing that he had fallen, the boy quickly gave up his resistance and chose to lie down.

Anyway, he has the ability to fake death and heal himself. The worst he can do is die once and wait for the other party to leave before continuing to run away.

But what surprised the boy was that Habaser did not release magical flames, lightning or frost. Instead, he landed and asked in a slightly curious tone: "What is your name? Where are you from?"

"Is there any point in asking these questions now?"

The boy rolled his eyes angrily, showing his rebellious side.

"Of course it makes sense. I really want to know your life experience and why you can cast teleportation magic instantly. And if you answer all the questions honestly, then I will not pursue your robbery in the store."
p>

Habaser laid out the conditions calmly.

"Really?"

The boy's eyes shone slightly.

Habaser smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, I always keep my word.

But the premise is that you cannot lie, let alone deliberately conceal certain key information.

Otherwise, this promise will be regarded as invalid.

In addition, I will confirm it through magic."

After hearing these words, the expression on the boy's face instantly became uncertain, as if he was hesitating and struggling.

After about a minute or two, he raised his head again and slowly said two words from his mouth: "Okay!"

"Very good, then we have reached an agreement. Now answer my previous question."

Habaser sat down on the stone next to him and assumed a listening posture.

The boy organized his language a little, and then said: "My name is Sancho, and I originally lived in the city of Nice in Cesc.

As for the surname, I don’t know much about it myself.

For as long as I can remember, I have been an orphan and don’t know who my parents are.

Until one day, a group of guys claiming to be Baal's followers came to our door.

If you want to know why I can cast teleportation spells instantly, it actually comes from a cursed bloodline.
