The possible locations are beneath the bell tower foundation, under a marsh bridge support, or inside an abandoned supply hut. Once you finally locate it, the demon will be forced to reveal them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in case, use this Sigil Disruption Scroll to successfully destroy it completely.

Coupled with +5% EXP gain, it would be near impossible for others to surpass him now when it came to leveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, as much as he wanted to complete the third and fourth stage respectively, he had to log out now within less than an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he must log out outside Archmage Arlen’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he returned and he was alone in his residence, it would be completely impossible for him to leave with the presence of countless runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with Archmage Arlen’s permission could he pass through them, but what if he was absent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max wouldn’t allow such a stupid thing to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bowing and assuring Archmage Arlen he would complete the quest, he left his residence and walked through the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite surprised by the presence of Jaden, filled with excitement as he passed through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max was totally ignored, which he didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, he was bothered by a sudden realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he completes his class advancement today, there’s a high chance for Archmage Arlen to give him the same quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I have completed the first and second stage, then he can proceed to the third stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max pinched his chin tightly as he walked through the hallway. He was completely ignoring even mage trainees who greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wholly immersed by his own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Archmage Arlen gives him a scroll, then they can easily complete the third and fourth stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I do now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max’s eyes flashed with resolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s still more than half an hour left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pace started to increase. Currently, he only noticed he was finally outside of the Arcane Cottage, as he shifted his body to face a direction where he believed the hidden pact sigil was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaden Norris was clearly excited to complete his first-class advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Archmage Arlen acknowledged his talent, he was tasked to increase his proficiency level in mana sensitivity to intermediate while his mana control to basic level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had successfully achieved Archmage Arlen’s expectations, he would surely gain the class that was similar to the current First Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Archmage Arlen hinted about a mission to be given to him that was also currently being taken by the First Mage as long as he completed the class advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident that the First Mage has yet to complete it since based on his experience from other virtual reality games, a quest on a village level would be divided with stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each stage has a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What mattered always was to complete the last stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaden had also been familiar with the First Mage’s routine to the point he confidently assumed that the First Mage’s gaming pod was at the commercial grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his NovaPro Immersion Pod, which was sponsored not by the Lewis Family, but by a gaming branding team organization in North America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Titan Coast Armada.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Max’s past life, the Titan Coast Armada ranked only behind the Lewis Guild. It was also led by Jaden Norris after he successfully completed the village quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in this new life, the story might be rewritten again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaden was now competing with other players that, compared to him, had already contracted with the Titan Coast Armada as their player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, once Jaden completed the class advancement and acquired the Arcane Caster Class, he would have a high-salary contract with the branding team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if he completed the village level quest, he would certainly become their franchise player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fame, prestige, money... Those were what Jaden desired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with anticipation, he was standing patiently at the opened hallway that led to Archangel Arlen’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was confident that Max would leave now due to the hours limit of his commercial grade gaming pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max, after a minute of running, finally arrived in the bell tower. He met the same warriors, guarding the bell tower, who greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were about to initiate a conversation with him, when Max, gasping for breath as he almost consumed all his stamina points, raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After panting for a while, he said, \"Can you lead me beneath the bell tower foundation? It’s an emergency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors glanced at each other and hesitated for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior on the right said, \"Alright. I will lead you there. Will it be possible if I have to keep you in check while you are—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. Please lead me there now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max wasn’t in the mood to turn down the warrior’s request, as the warrior finally led them inside the bell tower’s area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>===\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN: Thanks for reading!
