Chapter 313: The Eastern Capital Thief
Ivan and others cleared out the chaotic atmosphere in the cave, and all the hidden dangers of the Dode Magic Stone Mine were resolved.

After leaving the Dode Magic Stone Mine, the group headed to Piaoxiang Castle.

However, the town, the jungle, and the Piaoxiang Castle are now empty, the original spirits have disappeared, and the special force field has become as weak as a gossamer.

This made Locke a little disappointed.

“Alas! I can only barely improve to the level two limit.” After he destroyed the special force field at the gathering point, his strength increased to the level two limit.

“This is easy. You don’t have to go back to Dongdu with us. You can go to the mainland to find other gathering places of spirits by yourself.” Ivan said in a light tone.

“Uh – I have such small arms and legs, I’d better be careful.” Locke was moved, and then he thought of that terrifying arm. If he found the other party’s lair, he would never come back.

The appearance of the terrifying arm woke him up and made him realize that there are powerful spirits too, and they are not a bunch of chickens that can be slaughtered at will.

“Coward.” Jenny uttered a word.

“I’m just being cautious. Do you understand?” Locke almost jumped up when he heard this.

“Be careful, let’s go back to Dongdu together.” Ivan interrupted the little argument between the two, waved his hand, and everyone set off on the return journey.

The journey was long and the group did not try to hurry, so it took them nearly a month to reach Dongdu.

……

Swift Wood Tower.

Ivan began to think about a problem, which was the series of things required to be promoted to a third-level wizard.

Originally according to his plan, this issue should have been dealt with a year or even several years later, but he never expected that the second secret clone gave him a surprise, which put the issue directly on the agenda.

When he was promoted to a second-level wizard, he borrowed the power of the Ant King’s Rebirth Cocoon Formation and received an evolutionary baptism.

Nowadays, there is no such good thing anymore. The power of the Ant King’s Nirvana Cocoon Formation can only support becoming a second-level wizard, and each time it takes decades of accumulation.

“It’s not easy to be promoted to the third-level wizard. The opportunity is rare, so we have to plan carefully.”

“I have reached the end of my training of the Black Beard Movement. I need to consider the follow-up of the meditation method and the third-level solidification witchcraft.”

“I remember that Instructor Randall once said that a certain insect controller organization has a relatively complete Blackbeard Movement, which should contain the fourth level content. Perhaps we can find a way to get it for reference.”

Thinking of Randall, Ivan thought of the Crimson Cloud Realm that would appear in the next few years, and the mentor would definitely go there at that time.

When the Crimson Cloud Realm reopens, it will be time for me to return to the Moon Clamp Peninsula.

As the days passed, Ivan’s life in Dongdu was peaceful and fulfilling, until someone made a rather excessive request to him, which made him think he had misheard.

“Jenny, repeat yourself again,” he said with a straight face.

“I need more Pantie roots to replenish my essence. I can sense where they are. I hope you can allow me to bring them back.” Jenny repeated.

“That’s not called ‘bringing back’, that’s called ‘stealing’.” Ivan stared at her unhappily.

“What if no one finds out? According to wizard rules, it shouldn’t be considered stealing. This kind of thing can only be said to be normal.” Jenny’s tone remained calm.

This is true, the rules of wizards are essentially the law of the jungle, not to mention stealing, killing and stealing are also common, but it’s a place to score points.

“This is Dongdu.”

“I’m not sure about the other things, but I guarantee that the Pan Tiegen will not be discovered, even if it has been blood-bound by someone.”

“you sure?”

“very sure.”

Jenny is his clone, and Ivan can feel that she is not lying and is truly confident that she can seize Pantiegen in the capital of the eastern region without alerting anyone.

Since Jenny was fairly reliable, Ivan thought about it again and again and decided to give her a chance.

“Okay, let’s try it.”

“I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

Ivan gave Jenny a deep look.

After being sold by the Rank Chamber of Commerce, most of the Pantie roots have owners. Given the special nature of the Pantie roots, even he would find it difficult to take them back, so he could only let Jenny try it herself once.

Then he asked Jenny to collect information.

On the fifth day, he selected a second-level wizard as his target from the information collected by Jenny. The other party’s other identity was a guild elder.

That night, Jenny took action to let Ivan realize her outstanding “infiltration” ability.

Jenny turned into soil and merged into the earth. Relying on the carrying, armor-breaking and crushing effects of the earth’s power, she completed the infiltration silently.

After witnessing the entire process, Ivan’s first reaction was that she was being too modest.

In Dongdu, as long as she didn’t touch the real witch towers, she could sneak into any place with the earth with Jenny’s ability, and she would not be discovered in a short time. It was a waste of talent to use it to steal the Pantie root.

“I hope you are not disappointed.”

“You can do whatever you want with this matter from now on. You don’t have to report to me anymore.”

Ivan waved his hands, too lazy to care about her anymore, letting her do whatever she wants.

In the following days, Ivan really didn’t pay any attention to Jenny’s affairs until the news came to him.

“Boss, guess what I found out?” Locke said excitedly that day.

“Tell me about it.” Ivan had just finished refining a pure white eye and looked satisfied.

“Let me tell you, a strange thief has recently appeared in Dongdu. Many wizards and chambers of commerce have suffered thefts, including the Rank Chamber of Commerce. This matter has caused a lot of uproar and has been reported to the Second Legion of Dongren.” Locke continued.

“Oh, did the people from the Second Legion of East Blade find out anything?” Ivan asked.

“It’s strange to say, that thief likes to steal from people who have purchased Pantegum, but the amount of money he steals each time is not much, but it is very embarrassing.

This was actually told to me by the people of the Rank Chamber of Commerce, asking me to be careful. What a joke, I would be afraid of a thief, I look down on people–“

As Locke was speaking, he noticed that the expression on his boss’s face was not right, and seemed a little strange, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

“Boss, do you know something?” Locke asked carefully.

“Remember to give yours, the Silkworm Queen’s, and the Marsh Ant’s Pan Tie Root to Jenny. They are of little use to you, and Jenny needs them right now,” Ivan ordered.

“Huh? Could it be that – Jenny – is that thing?” Locke’s eyes widened, full of disbelief.

“Is it weird?”

“That’s too–too excusable.”

Locke said with difficulty, with so many forces, so many defense layers, and so many wizards, no one had caught any trace of them. This was something he could never do.

At this moment, he admitted that he admired the guy a little.

However, that guy took such a big risk to secretly collect Pantiegen, which must be of great importance. Maybe it can help the other party’s strength improve by leaps and bounds-——
Thinking of this, Locke could no longer sit still.

“Boss, now we have alarmed the people of the Second Legion. Do you want me to tell her to stop?” Locke was still a little worried.

“Let her make her own judgment. She will stop when it’s time.” Ivan shook his head slightly. He said he would not care about it, so he would not care about it. If something really went wrong, he would find a way to cover it.

“Okay, I’ll go ask around.”

Even his own boss trusted the other party so much. Looking at his own side, Locke felt that he had suffered another blow. The joy brought by becoming the Great Grinder not long ago had mostly dissipated.

A few days later, when the Second Legion began its massive operation, Jenny stopped at the right time and stayed in the Xunmu Tower and never went out again.

Jenny’s strength has improved and is now equivalent to the middle of her own level three.

Ivan was quite satisfied with this.

“You can go to the Ancient Tree Ridge on the Moonclamp Peninsula and take a look. You, Pan Tiegen, were brought up by a wizard from this academy,” he said to Jenny.

“Something’s wrong.” Jenny hesitated and shook her head.

“What’s wrong?” Ivan was puzzled.

“If the distance between us is too far, I can’t protect your safety.” Jenny said seriously.

“This wizard is not yet at the point where I need your protection to survive.” Ivan paused and said speechlessly.

“Before in the Dodd Magic Stone Mine?”

“It was just an accident.”

“There may be similar accidents in the future.”

Seeing Jenny was so insistent, Ivan didn’t force her. After all, she meant well.

What’s more, the clone is close to him, which is conducive to the harmony between the two sides.

It is worth mentioning that of the four stages of the secret technique of clones, he and Jenny are also in the third stage – soul rotation, but it is much lower than that with Locke at the beginning.

If he wanted to transfer part of his consciousness to Jenny, it would probably take five or six years.

“as you like.”

Judging from the time, it won’t be long before the Crimson Cloud Realm reopens. By then, he will definitely go to the Highland Alliance on the Moon Clamp Peninsula and visit the Ancient Tree Spine Academy.
