Our Dharma Masters are like this.

Chapter 125 Fireworks
The surroundings fell silent at first, then erupted in a low murmur of amazement.

"My God, he actually got it?"

"What incredible luck!"

"I want one too..."

Even Zellier himself was taken aback.

what?
It actually worked!

The stall owner's smug face froze, then instantly contorted into a bitter expression.

He hesitated for a long time, unable to think of a reason to refuse, and reluctantly handed the wooden sculpture to Zellier.

He was still muttering something incoherently.

"How did you manage to snag that?"

"Here, this is for you." Zellier didn't even look at the wooden carving before handing it to Oro.

"Really? You're giving it to me?"

Auro was overjoyed; all her previous frustration vanished.

She carefully took the wooden carving, held it in her hands, and couldn't put it down no matter how she looked at it.

"Thank you, Zellir!" She smiled, her eyes crinkling and revealing her cute little fangs.

She happily wanted to put the kitten statue into her handbag.

but
"Eh?"

As Auro touched this and that, the smile on her face gradually froze.

"Where's my bag?!"

My bag is gone!
Auro looked around anxiously.

She soon noticed a thin man not far away, sneaking into the crowd.

And what was being concealed at the chest of his wide robe was none other than Oro's bag.

"Thief!"

Auro was both shocked and furious, and immediately shouted loudly.

This shout immediately caused an uproar among those around.

The crowd became agitated, which ironically gave the thief an opportunity to escape.

The skinny man realized something was wrong, so he stopped trying to hide and ran, immediately squeezing into the densest part of the crowd.

Zellier turned his head and quickly locked onto his target.

Needless to say, the night market streets during the autumn harvest celebration were packed with people.

If he manages to blend into the crowd, there will be no hope of finding him again.

Just as Auro was about to give chase, she noticed that Zellier had opened his palm in the direction the skinny monkey man had fled.

There were only a few soft "swish" sounds.

Several slender vines quickly swept out from the cracks in the hard stone slab!

Like an extension of Zellier's arm, they precisely bypassed the crowd blocking their way and directly wrapped around the skinny man's ankle!
The thief, who was running at full speed, suddenly felt a tightness under his feet, lost his balance, and fell forward, landing face-first in the mud.

"Ouch!"

But the vines didn't stop there; they continued to spread rapidly across his body, quickly binding the skinny man tightly so he couldn't move.

This sudden scene left onlookers dumbfounded.

How can vines grow on the ground?
This young man... is actually a mage?

Auro opened her mouth in surprise.

She knew that Zelier was a mage, but simply hearing about it and seeing it with her own eyes were two completely different things; this was the first time she had ever seen a mage cast a spell.

Can you really summon vines with a wave of your hand?
Isn’t this too awesome?
Zellier strode forward, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for him.

The skinny monkey-like man, whose hands and feet were entangled in the vines, was terrified and struggled desperately like a fish out of water.

He watched as Zellier approached him, and was so frightened that he stammered, unable to utter a single word.

"Why steal things instead of doing something else?"

Zellir, with a cold expression, took the bag from the skinny man's arms and handed it to Oro, who had followed him.

"Check if anything is missing?" Auro opened the box and checked it. She found that the money and some small items were still there, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Nothing is missing.

"That's good."

Soon, the commotion attracted the attention of nearby patrol officers.

When he squeezed into the crowd and saw the skinny man tightly bound by vines growing from the ground, he was also filled with disbelief.

"What...what's going on?"

"He stole my friend's bag and was trying to escape into the crowd."

Zell explained, "In desperation, I used magic to stop him."

As he spoke, Zelier took out his lower-ranking mage badge.

The onlookers all nodded in agreement.

"I see, Master."

Upon seeing the mage Zeril's badge, the patrol officer immediately stood in awe and straightened his back.

"We apologize for the trouble caused. We will definitely teach this ignorant little thief a lesson."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and cut the vines, grabbed the limp thief, and kicked him mercilessly, dragging him toward the police station while cursing under his breath.

"You dare steal from even a mage's friend? You're asking for trouble!"

The riot subsided, and Auro put the kitten statue that Zellir had given her into her bag, then gave him a sincere smile.

"Zelier, you were really cool just now."

"Have it?"

"Of course! In the blink of an eye, the vines caught the thief. That's amazing!"

Auro's face was full of admiration. "I can't help but imagine you fighting monsters."

“It will only be cooler than this,” Zellier laughed.

The night passed quietly.

"Clang clang."

The melodious chimes of the ancient clock tower in the town center rang out.

This means that the most anticipated highlight of the celebration—a grand fireworks show meticulously designed by the Mage Guild—is about to begin.

The once bustling square fell silent as everyone stopped what they were doing.

The crowd began to spontaneously surge towards the open spaces outside the city, where the view was more expansive.

The city gates, which are usually subject to questioning when entering or leaving, were wide open at this moment.

Even the guards on night duty put down their halberds and couldn't help but crane their necks, gazing excitedly at the sky just like everyone else.

"Let's begin!"

Aurora squeezed Zellir onto a small hill with a great view.

As soon as the words were spoken, a sharp whistling sound ripped through the night sky, and a magic light blast, shimmering with silver light, shot into the sky and exploded suddenly at its highest point!

"Boom!"

A giant dandelion bloomed in the night sky, and a shower of dazzling silver light slowly fell, like a dream.

A thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd.

But this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, one magical firework of different colors rose into the sky in succession.

They exploded in the night, creating a series of breathtaking scenes.

Like a shimmering, dancing butterfly, and a tiny green dot, it took to the air for a moment before quickly branching out and growing into a towering tree.

One firework, in particular, exploded and formed the silhouette of a majestic griffin. It circled in the sky for a moment before slowly dissipating, drawing the loudest applause from the audience!
"What a beauty……"

Auro tilted her head back, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her face filled with rapture and awe.

These wonders, constructed of magic, were far more beautiful than any scene she had ever imagined.
