Chapter 108: Steal
The Holem's Crown didn't take too much time to organize its thought and spoke.
'If you want to Rank up further, you need to understand the secrets of Fire and comprehend them completely. Before explaining more about comprehension, I will tell more about the different types of Fire in this universe.
Fire can be divided into seven types. The first one is the Law Fire. This type of Fire symbolizes Protection and Law, and most of these Fire Elemental Planes are filled with the power of Law Fire.
The second one is Hell-Fire. As the name suggests, this Fire appears only in the Hell Plane and is filled with complete wickedness and evil. It can even turn a pure angel into a wicked being. So, it would be best if you stay away from it at all costs.
The third one is False Fire. Unlike the other two, this Fire can manipulate other basic elements and make you cast other elemental magic. If you comprehend this Fire completely, you can indeed manipulate all other elements to some extent. Your movement spell is due to the presence of this Fire. But as the name suggests, this Fire is just a false one, and it has its own limitations.
The fourth one is Chaos Flame, and this Fire was originated from the Abyss Plane. It has the power of destruction and Chaos, so comprehending this Fire should be very helpful when constructing an attack spell model.
The fifth one is Soul Fire. This Fire originates from the Underworld and can heal, and at the same time, destroy souls. Your healing spell has a minute amount of this Soul Fire, so you should be very careful when using this spell. It is a double-edged sword.
The sixth one is Mind Fire. It is one of the mysterious fires, and even I knew nothing about it. Some say that this Fire originated from the strange Dreamworld, while others say that this Fire is born from the False Fire, but there is no actual proof of its origin... Wait, I have always felt something was off about your mind-related skill... Could it be that you also constructed this mind fire spell?' The Holem's Crown suddenly stopped its talking and asked in suspicious.
'Yes.' Charles smiled wryly. He knew that he couldn't hide this secret for too long from the old man, so he quietly nodded his head in approval.
'Oh? It looks like the secret artifact is helping you construct different types of fire spell models. Anyway, let's get to the topic.
The last one is called Rebirth Flame. Except for its name, I knew nothing about this Fire.'
The Holem's Crown deliberated for a moment and soon continued.
'Most of the Fire Mages in the Edhen chooses to walk on the path of Law Fire. So, this Fire Elemental Plane is a treasure for them. If they comprehend the Law Fire spell models in a Fire Elemental Plane, they will have an easier time completing them.'
Upon hearing the lengthy explanation, Charles frowned for a moment and soon squinted his eyes.
'These seven fires... Why do I feel that my every spell model has some connection with each type of these fires?' A chill went up to his spine.
'It is not an impossible thing. But there is still one thing I couldn't understand. It's about the Flame Body spell model... Unlike other spells, I chose to construct this spell only after hearing advice from Bishop Reynolds. Something feels off... Could it be that he is also a pawn of the system's real owner?' He shuddered at the thought.
'No, I might be overthinking.' He closed his eyes to organize his thoughts for a moment and soon heaved a heavy sigh.
'It doesn't matter whether the system manipulated my mind to choose these spell models or not. I need to increase my Rank and then find a way to take full control over the system. Only then I would feel safe.' Charles silently went near the corner of the underground hall, sat in a cross-legged position, and soon entered his Inner world to make a detailed plan.
...
After another two hours of planning, Charles left the inner world and soon opened his eyes in confusion.
At that moment, he couldn't even remember anything about the plan at all!
'No, I have some memories to achieve something, but I couldn't remember my real goal. Strange... My first job is to steal the famous Rainbow Crown from the Duke Milton's Mansion and expose myself as a Fire Magician? Wouldn't that make the Tower Mages suspicious of me?' He pondered for a moment and chose to believe in his plan.
'There must be a reason for this strange mission. But the unluckiness effect is still there for another 30 days. I have to delay my plan. Although I learned that requirements are needed for the unluckiness to take effect on me, I don't want to take a risk.' Charles nodded his head and soon stood up.
In the past few days, he activated his [Prevision] skills a few times and learned that his anomaly skill could nullify the unluckiness for a day or two. Although it wasn't able to completely nullify it, Charles felt that this was much better than the past month's unluckiness effect.
'But frequently using this skill would also change variations in my fate and might catch big shot's attention.' He was always warier of the Destiny Lady, so he only used this prevision skill for small dangers. If he had used this skill to avoid any unexpected danger, it might have attracted Destiny Lady's attention. Thankfully, there was no dangerous situation that appeared to him yet.
Letting out a deep sigh, he left the underground basement hall and soon met Titus and Jessie in the reception hall.
"How is the mission?" Charles halted his footsteps and asked in an old man's voice.
"Teacher." Both stood up from the sofa in unison and greeted him. After that, Jessie took the initiative and responded.
"I memorized a total of 150 houses' exaction location, numbers, and even learned some house owner's name, Teacher."
"Hmm, continue your mission during daytime." Charles nodded his head, shifted his gaze towards Titus, and asked.
"Did Noel and Rhea go to market?"
"Yes, Teacher," Titus replied in a solemn tone.
"Good. Come on; I will teach about the true arts of disguise." Saying so, Charles stepped towards the stairs and went upstairs.
Till evening, he taught him the basics of disguise and tricks and then went to the yard to teach him about dagger arts. Thankfully, Noel and Rhea brought tens of wooden daggers and short swords, making his job easier.
Charles then made Noel and Titus to battle against each other and pointed out their mistakes one by one.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was around 7 P.M.
'It's time.' Charles stood up from his wooden chair and spoke.
"Continue your practice till 10. After that, you three can go to sleep." He suddenly paused for a moment as he pointed his finger at Titus and said.
"Practice those disguise skills and stealth skills in the yard. I will come around midnight and check your progression."
Saying so, he turned around, returned to the second floor, and soon went to the study to comprehend the [Incinerate] spell model.
