A few minutes later, Adam walked out of the alleyway. Since he had paid for the blood, he didn't bother to show his gratitude.
Inspecting the money pouch, he realised that he is left with 17 Coppers.
"Now what to do?"
He still had more than two hours to spend before the time of departure.
Rubbing his chin while contemplating, he summoned the status screen for no reason. The aimless pair of pupils skimmed across the display when he noticed the Mana reserve at its full.

Glancing through the corners of his eyes, Adam confirmed the absence of prying eyes on him and slipped into the nearest alleyway. Since it was daytime, his figure wasn't shielded in the darkness but lessened his exposure to the public.
'Ice Spear.'
A thin needle of ice manifested in his palm and Adam was content with the activation. The status screen levitated in front of him and displayed the unchanging value of Mana Points.
