The Genius Mage Chapter 114 – Teammate

Chapter 114: Teammate

After Morris was pushed into the bathroom with his head pressed down, Kate carefully sized him up from outside the door. In the end, he chose to leave.

Kate found clothes that seemed to be of a more suitable size from his luggage. He placed them outside the bathroom, greeted the youth inside, and left the room.

Jill and Kate looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Audrey was already standing outside the house. Kate walked over and asked, “Audrey, who’s the gentleman in there?”

“Him? He’s just a little thief that I caught in the market.” Audrey’s tone did not sound happy or angry.

Kate was a little puzzled. He had heard that the market here was more chaotic and had a habit of stealing. He had not expected Audrey to meet him the moment she stepped out of the house.

But why had she chosen to capture him instead of sending him directly to the Templar Knights?

This was something that Kate could not figure out no matter how hard he tried.

“Is there a reason why you captured him?” Jill asked.

Audrey replied, “You’ll know when he comes out.”

When Morris finished showering and changed his clothes, he realized that two people were waiting for him outside.

When he walked out, Kate was momentarily surprised.

This was because the young man in front of her was very handsome. His skin was fair and clean, and his brows and eyes looked very gentle. He did not look like the disheveled appearance he had just now. Instead, he was like a completely different person.

Morris sensed Audrey’s gaze and scratched his head in embarrassment. “Well, thank you for bringing me back. You even made me take a shower and change my clothes.”

Audrey looked straight at him as though she was not surprised by his transformation. “Do you know who I am?”

“Of course I do. You’re the honorable miss Audrey,” Morris replied.

When they had appeared in the city, Morris had already been thinking about them, but he was still trying to find an opportunity to strike.

One had to know that this group of nobles was born into a wealthy family, so they must have a lot of money. Therefore, if he managed to strike once, he would rest for a long time.

However, he did not expect that he would be caught this time.

Audrey nodded slightly. “It seems like you know me. But, then, I have a few questions to ask you. I hope that you can answer them truthfully.”

“Yes.” Morris nodded.

Audrey asked, “What realm are you at now?”

“A level-19 fighter master. Although I’m already trying my best to break through, it’s still a little difficult.” Morris felt embarrassed.

After all, at his age, the level of a level-19 fighter master could be said to be very low. Therefore, it was very difficult even to receive recruitment. This resulted in him being forced to go to the market every day to steal things to get by.

A trace of surprise clearly flashed across Audrey’s face when she heard this answer.

This person was actually only level-19?

When she was clearly at the market earlier, her aura was concealed so well. Even with her powerful perception, she could barely catch a trace of it. So she thought that the other party was at least a strong Ancestor.

From the looks of it, this person in front of her was indeed somewhat useful.

“If I remember correctly, your sister should be seriously ill right now, and she hasn’t been treated in time, right?” Audrey asked.

Morris had an unnatural look on his face.

Just as she had said, Morris’s sister had a very serious illness. It was not that the illness could not be treated, but it required a lot of time and energy.

The main thing was financial resources. Just buying the medicine would cost a lot of money. With his family’s circumstances, he would not be able to afford the high medical fees.

Audrey saw the expression on his face and suggested, “How about this? Let’s make a deal. I know you have an invitation letter. An invitation letter is what I need, and you need my help.”

Kate’s expression changed slightly. He seemed to be able to guess what this sentence meant.

Audrey wanted to invite this person to join them!

“Audrey!” Jill exclaimed.

Hera’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. “I think it’s better to think it through.”

Audrey’s expression was calm. “I’ve already thought it through.”

She looked up at Morris. “Let’s discuss it. I’ll be in charge of treating your sister’s illness, and you’ll be participating in the selection of the Templar Knights with us. I won’t ask you for the money you stole from me today. I’ll also be in charge of your sister’s medical expenses.”

After hearing this, Morris looked at her with a probing gaze.

How did this honorable miss Audrey know that he had an invitation card with her?

Originally, after receiving the invitation from the Templar Knights, Morris had no intention of participating. He only wanted to take care of his sister in peace, but now…

One had to know that what he lacked the most recently was money for the medical expenses.

If the young miss in front of him could really solve this problem, it would not be a problem for him to take on a demon beast, much less participate in the trial.

“However, I have a condition.” Audrey’s faint voice sounded in his ear. “During the trial, you are not allowed to do anything that will harm us. Otherwise, everything I said just now will be nullified.”

Morris hurriedly nodded. “I know that. As long as you can treat my sister’s illness, I’ll do anything you want!”

“Audrey, this isn’t good, is it?” Kate’s expression was clearly a little worried.

One had to know that this person was a habitual thief. He might even try to cover his tracks. If they were not prepared, it might even be dangerous.

Audrey only glanced at her, then shook her head gently.

“Since you’ve thought it through, I’ll go find Shadowless Ghost Hands now and get him to assign you a new room.” Audrey stood up, patted the dust from the corner of her skirt, and looked at Morris.

“Welcome to the team.”
