"NO!" She cursed loudly. How could she have forgotten something like that? She should have asked him that question while he was still there.

She had lost the best lead she could have possibly gotten. Now she would have to explain what she did to her father.

But she at least had something substantial to say. If a mage was involved in all of this, then a noble was involved in the disappearance. If there was a team of a mage and an aura knight, then it was possible that the noble family had purposefully sent them to get rid of the evidence.

That meant that there was a noble family that had purposefully done this to go against the Fairmount Family. She had to tell her father about this. But first, she would need to go through the ruins to look for clues.

As Elise was overthinking what Leo just did, he happily cruised through the air. After an hour of flying, he saw a city in the distance. He adjusted his path and flew toward it.

He landed before he got close to the city and took out his disguise. He didn't need to have a disguise to enter a city so far from Eldridge. He was only planning on getting an inn anyway.

The only reason he had chosen to go to Phoenix Greens instead of Eldridge was because it was a smaller city. Now that he was a 4th Star Mage, he would be able to escape from other 4th Circle Mages. He couldn't put on a fight yet because he would need to learn 4th Star spells for that.

For the next few days, he only wanted to do one thing - consolidate this 4th Star and learn his new spells. To do both, he would need a quiet place in an inn, so it didn't matter which city he chose.

He walked into the city with ease. Unlike Eldridge, the guards in front of the city walls didn't care about who was entering it. When he walked into the city, he noticed the difference between it and the other cities he had been to.

Compared to Eldridge and the lack of poverty there, Solhaven had a lot more areas of the city as slums. However, there was still a limit to those slums. They barely spilled over even to the commoner's district.

But in the city that he had come to, he realized there wasn't a commoner's district. There were the slums and the noble district. There was nothing in between. 

He found a decent-looking inn and walked in. The people looked at the kid who entered and smiled. They were all burly men twice his size. He walked to the counter and talked to the attendant here.

"I would like to get a room for a week," he said.

The boy at the counter looked at Leo. He was also as young as Leo and decided to give him some advice. He leaned in and beckoned him forward.

"Are you sure you want to stay here?" He asked Leo.

Leo nodded. "Is there something wrong with that?" He asked.

The boy shook his head. "I just thought you would find it a little difficult because of your size," he said.

"What do you mean-" Before Leo could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a man who had been inside the inn before he came in.

"I would like one of your suites," the man said.

"I'm sorry, but I have to take the mister's room first. He was here before you," the boy said.I think you should take a look at

"Don't worry. You can just add it to a single bill. I'm sure he won't mind paying for me," the man said. He turned to Leo and asked, "Will you?"

Leo frowned at the man before turning to the boy at the counter.

"You are right. There are too many assholes here," he said audibly in front of the man. He then turned to the person trying to make him spend his money. "I will spend my money. But you would have to enjoy the room without your arm."

The man became angrier as the people behind them were amused."The boy has balls," one person commented.

"Are you even looking at me? I will flatten-" The man pointed his right hand at Leo. Before he could even finish the sentence, the arm was broken.

"AAHHH!" The man screamed in pain. "What did you do to me? I feel so much pain," he shouted. In a tiny fraction of a second, Leo had struck the bone of the man's right arm, breaking it.

"Just a small listen," Leo said. "You might be a 1st Circle Aura Knight and think that's enough. Remember that there are people stronger than that."

The city was smaller than Solhaven, which meant it was very different compared to Eldridge. If in Eldridge, a 4th Circle Aura Knight would be considered one of the strongest people, a 2nd Circle person would be at the peak of Phoenix Green.

Leo released his aura to show everyone exactly how strong he was. All the people who were trying to watch a good show suddenly turned back to their tables in fear. They all acted like none of them knew the man who walked up to Leo.

"Now, can I have my room?" He asked the boy at the counter. The boy was the only person who wasn't an Aura Knight and didn't feel any of the aura that Leo had displayed, so he was confused about why everyone suddenly became quiet.

But he was surprised at what happened to the man in front of him. He hadn't seen any movement but the huge man was howling in pain.

"Yes, of course," he said. "Do you want to see what rooms we have?"

Leo nodded.

"Well, the best room we have is a suite for 3000 Starcoins a day. The normal room is 300 Starcoins a day. The elite room is 1000 Starcoins a night," the boy said.

"I'll take the suite," Leo said. He was about to take out the money but the boy stopped him.

"You can pay later," he said.

Leo smiled. "Thanks. What is the room number?" He asked.

"It is the second room on your left when you get to the top floor. Room number 4," the boy said.

Leo nodded and grabbed the keys. As he was making his way to the stairs, he made eye contact with the people in the inn, warning them not to do anything stupid. After making that very clear, he walked to the stairs.

He climbed the stairs and got to the top floor. He took a lest and found his room. He walked inside and looked around. The room was incredibly plain but it was maintained properly. Even though he was in the slums, the inn had made sure that at least the most expensive room was proper.

He got onto the bed and went straight to what he came for. The first thing on his list was consolidating his base, so he started with that. He took in a deep breath and started gathering the magic around his body.
