Chapter 20 - Jeff Newman's Secret Crush

Carlotta didn't have time to read the rest of the information.

She changed her clothes as quickly as possible, used the Lightness Card from her card magic to make her body lighter, and rushed out of the dormitory immediately.

Whenever she saw something valuable and unclaimed in the intelligence reports, she would dash out like this, but she had never been as excited as she was now.

Space Stone!

It was a Space Stone!

She had heard of Space Stones before. It was said that not long ago, a Space Stone was sold at the Fors Chamber of Commerce, one of the six major auction houses in Kestholm, for a staggering three million Orrae!

And at this very moment, a Space Stone was hidden in a certain location.

The only person who knew its whereabouts had become a prisoner, so this Space Stone worth three million Orrae could completely become her own!

Carlotta had every reason to be excited. She ran out of the dormitory, out of the academy, and quickly headed to the Spice District.

The capital of Kestholm was divided into ten major districts, and the Spice District was a port district. This was Carlotta's second time going there.

The first time was when the golden-haired Perri was captured by dog traffickers, and she went with Viviana Richards to retrieve Perri.

From the Fors District where Caerwyn Academy was located to the Spice District, she had to pass through the Cross District. By the time Carlotta arrived at the Spice District, the sky was already showing the first light of dawn.

Carlotta saw a port worker who had gotten up early and politely asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to Firefly Street?"

As a port district, the Spice District wasn't as large as the other districts, but it still had many streets. Without a map, Carlotta was a bit overwhelmed.

Fortunately, she had a sweet smile, and passersby were not stingy with their answers. Soon, Carlotta arrived at Firefly Street.

This was a street with more vegetation compared to the others. As the morning light fell, the last traces of fireflies disappeared into the lush greenery.

Carlotta walked past shops and houses, checking the house numbers, and gradually arrived at number 45. Then she looked across the street at number 45.

There was a river, and the trees by the riverside swayed in the morning breeze, with leaves falling occasionally.

Seeing no one around, Carlotta quickly walked over, picked up a stone from the ground, and started digging under the tree.

It was still early, and only occasionally would someone appear on the street. But as time passed, more people would surely come, so she knew she didn't have much time left.

Her movements were quick and meticulous. Soon, she dug a small hole and saw a cloth bag underneath. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed the bag and pulled it.

Perhaps the quality of the bag wasn't very good, as it tore open with her pull, and a silver stone inside fell to the ground.

At that moment, Carlotta felt her heart skip a beat.

She instinctively looked around, and seeing no one nearby, she immediately grabbed the silver stone, hid it in her pocket, and hastily filled the hole, burying the torn bag inside.

After finishing this, she rushed back.

Along the way, Carlotta felt her heart beating wildly, like a small drum being beaten continuously.

When someone unexpectedly comes into a fortune, it's natural to feel a surge of emotions.

When she had reported a wanted criminal and received a bounty of thirty thousand Orrae, she had been excited, but not as tense as she was now.

After all, this Space Stone was worth three million Orrae!

It wasn't until she left the Spice District that Carlotta felt her heartbeat calmed down a bit.

The sky was getting brighter, and there were more people and carriages on the streets. Many people had gathered outside the breakfast shops.

Carlotta calmed herself down, bought some breakfast from a nearby shop, and ate while walking back.

What should she do with this Space Stone?

Carlotta didn't think much before recalling the Storage Card she had coveted yesterday.

Storage Cards can be made by second-level apprentices, but due to the lack of necessary materials, most card magic practitioners will never own one in their lifetime.

"Such a high-value item would be a problem to sell, and there would be risks. It's better to use it myself."

Carlotta didn't feel any reluctance.

Since her transmigration, less than a month had passed, and she had already obtained many valuable pieces of information through the intelligence system, gradually improving her living conditions.

She believes that she will definitely obtain more valuable information in the future, and money will never be a problem.

She had made up her mind, she would use this Space Stone herself to make a Storage Card!

Only then did Carlotta have the time to look at the remaining intelligence.

[ 6: Jeff Newman wrote ten love letters to Avery Clarke, but he didn't dare to show her any of them. He's still harboring a secret crush.]

Who's this?

Carlotta scratched her head. She was familiar with Avery, but she hadn't heard of the other guy.

She didn't pay much attention; this was just unimportant information.

[7: Lady Thea Ashfield has prepared her alchemical work. At this year's Alchemy Conference, her goal is to be the most dazzling person.]

Seeing Thea's name, Carlotta's expression became slightly complicated. The Rose Thorn she used was an alchemical product that Thea had discarded because she didn't like it. She was a genuine alchemy master.

She wondered when Lady Thea would discard some more alchemical tools she didn't like.

[ 8: The location for this month's Elf Knight Gathering has been decided. It will be held at Villa No. 88 on Fountain Street in the Fors District. Some people are already aware of this.]

Was it because Amelia told me about the Elf Knight Gathering that I got this information?
