I Just want a Peaceful life

"So, Anna let Onyx eat it." replied Anna casually while petting Onyx on her hand.

"Eat it?! Come to think of it, Draven also wants to eat it. Is spirit some kind of nutrient or something to legendary and ancient beasts?!" muttered Angus.

Before Angus could think further, "Done, now let's get out of here." said Jayna in a hurry.

Then, Jayna drags Angus and Anna without waiting for their response.

"But, Anna still wants to meet more ghosts." said Anna while pouting.

"No, Anna. That's bad. Ghosts are bad. You should run when you meet them and don't ever try to look for them again." lectured Jayna while they were walking out of the building.

"Ehh… Is that true?" asked Anna to Angus.

Being glared at by Jayna, Angus couldn't help but cooperate with Jayna and nod his head.

After getting out of the building, they sneak out of the Royal Academy. Normally, one couldn't just sneak out or into the royal academy since there is a powerful barrier in the surrounding academy.

This barrier is also why other noble families couldn't influence the academy's teaching. They couldn't send anyone to help the student or even do other malicious things to others. However, this barrier is a piece of thin paper in the eyes of Angus and Jayna.

They could easily break and come through the barrier without anyone noticing. Still, Jayna needs a lot of time to break through the barrier without alerting anyone, even with the help of [Analyze]. On the contrary, Angus only required a few minutes to control the barrier completely.

After sneaking out of the royal academy silently, "So, you are saying there is a hidden basement in that building?" said Jayna.

"Yeah. I hope you can help me find more information about that building." said Angus.

"Alright, I will see what I can do." said Jayna.

Angus decides to tell Jayna about the building's basement. Since the hidden path is connected to the building, he speculated the building might have some connection with the royalty.

If he wants to reveal all the secrets in the hidden basement, he must prepare and know what he will face. So far, Angus only knows the dusk language on the top of the desk in the basement may open another hidden path or summon something.

Whatever it is, he knows it is something dangerous and wants to be hidden from the public. The Dusk symbol language written on the paper may look mysterious and indicate some kind of power. It may even lead to the heritage of someone powerful.

After researching deeper about the Dusk language, Angus began to worry about what would happen after he completely vocalized the words. At first, he thought the powerful Dusk language was only used by ancient Dark Elves or other ancient races for rituals or something in the past.

However, Jayna also explains things about the powerful ancient language in detail from the Fire Phoenix memories not too long ago. According to Fire Phoenix, each powerful ancient language, like the Dusk language, has a different purpose and symbolizes something.

Dusk language is one of the oldest languages that has existed since the beginning of the world and represents darkness, cold, and void. In the distant past, it was often used to manipulate darkness's power during the night.

However, as one of the primordial beings, Fire Phoenix knows the true use of this oldest language. This language also could be used as a catalyst to control or manipulate the power of boundless darkness to banish something undesirable.

Fire Phoenix even witnesses a few rituals to banish things undesirable from this world. Unfortunately, no one could remember or know what it was because it was literally banished even from everyone's memories. Just by this effect, Angus knows how powerful this language is.

As far as he knows, the only things that could erase existence in this world are always related to some incomprehensive power, such as primordial beings and ancient kings. In short, the dusk language may be able to create something akin to the black hole to banish the undesirable.

Still, he knows this kind of power must have a lot of strict prerequisites and conditions. Jayna knows how to perform the ritual to banish things or someone. However, she refuses to tell Angus and will only say to him if there is undesirable to banish.

Hearing the word undesirable, Angus knows this must not be an ordinary thing since it is a very ambiguous word similar to the concept.

Arriving at the capital city, Angus and the others begin their tour. They go towards the commoner area, where many people open food stalls. Since there is a big event tomorrow, this district looks more crowded than usual.

People can hardly walk because the street is packed with people without space. Seeing the place full of people for the first time, Anna couldn't help but open her mouth in awe.

"Woahh… So many bubbles. Anna wonders if they will burst if Anna runs through them." said Anna in wonder.

Hearing this, Angus and Jayna immediately stop their walk and imagine Anna running through this street at her full speed. It will create mayhem and a bloody massacre. It will be like a swarm of bugs run through by a bullet train.

At once, Angus held Anna and put her to sit on his shoulder. This way, Angus will not let Anna wander around in this place. Even if Anna didn't want to massacre these people, she might still hurt someone because she lightly pushed someone.

With her being on the top of his shoulder, it will prevent her from bumping the others and not create more trouble.

"Yeyy… Anna became tall. Yay.. Yay…" said Anna happily.

Seeing Anna's happy reaction, Angus and Jayna could only smile and continue walking through the street. Then, they buy almost all the food from the nearby food stall. They even buy the whole stock from a few of these stalls because of Anna's appetite.

Fortunately, Anna remembers Jayna's warning not to eat too much as she may be unable to eat dinner. Still, she didn't stop munching the food and kept swallowing food. During their tour, they also find a few naughty thieves trying to pickpocket them.

However, those thieves couldn't get anything as Angus and Jayna store their things inside their storage bracelets. So, there is nothing valuable in their body. Still, they didn't just let them go empty-handed. Angus and Jayna secretly give them a few gold coins.

Angus and Jayna decide to use this chance to blend in with the crowd and train their pickpocket skill. As an ex-assassin, he knows pickpocketing is one of the important skills. It needs a hidden fast hand without wasting any movement.

Each body posture, hand position, angle, and many others must be considered to master this skill. After mastering this skill to the pinnacle, Angus could even kill someone by only passing them in the crowd without the others noticing.

Therefore, this is one of the essential skills not only to attack people in the crowd but also to defend themself against hidden ambushes.

As for the gold coins, they didn't give them as charity. But, it is actually a kind of test and punishment for them. Most of the thieves stay in the slum area where the strong rule. Without enough power, they will never be able to keep these gold coins.

In the worst case, they may get robbed and killed on the spot. Although if the thief is quite intelligent, they may be able to survive but it still depends on the person.

Angus and Jayna didn't believe things were called good or bad deeds. But, they know every action will cause a consequence.

Since the thieves dare pickpocket them, they will give these gold coins for their deeds. Whether it will be good for them, Angus and Jayna aren't concerned about it anymore.

After walking through the food stalls, they visit Angus' favorite tavern, Fizzy Tavern. This tavern is the only place that sells Fizzy Beer, a sweet carbonated drink.

Lately, the drink has become more popular and the owner decided to rename their tavern Fizzy Tavern. Entering the busy tavern, Angus' group sits near the bar.

"Owner, three fizzy beers." ordered Angus.

"Ohh… Ray, you are here. I thought you would also not come to the capital city." said the owner.

"Hahahaha… and miss the big event?! No way. My boss will not let this opportunity go to trade with those rich nobles." replied Angus casually.

Angus never reveals his identity when he comes to this tavern. He usually uses basic illusion spells to cover his appearance. However, he often attracts trouble with some thugs, like when he met Archmage Ikalis in this place.

Therefore, he decided to create a fake identity as a merchant assistant who works at a small merchant company. This way, he will look more like a lavish commoner with few gold coins. He could also openly come here and gather information more easily.

"Did Angus have a boss?" asked Anna confusedly.

Before Angus could answer, "Hoo… Who are these beautiful ladies you bring?" asked the owner.

"Ahh… They are my girlfriend and her younger sibling. Aren't they lovely? Hahaha…" said Angus, behaving very casually.

"Hahaha… You remind me of my younger days. Alright, this is your drink." said the owner, bringing the three big glasses of fizzy beer and taking Angus' gold coins.
