Ian stood obediently, following Sid's example, with his head held high and his eyes not squinting.

Unexpectedly, Jinx just smeared a little of the contents of those bottles on his face and made him close his eyes.

After a while, he felt something smeared on his lips again...... Then Sid's voice was heard, smiling rather than smiling.

Ian tried to open his eyes, but heard Jinx yell, "Don't move! Sid, you go to Giggs and wait, don't make trouble here!"

"Okay, okay. The smile in Sid's voice made Ian even more uneasy.

After a few more moments, Jinx said, "Alright. Hey, why are you still with your eyes closed?"

Ian opened his eyes and tried to look in the mirror, but Jinx had already handed over a set of clothes.

Ian was dumbfounded: "Isn't this a women's style?"

"Yes, you're thin, I think it's best to dress as a woman. Jinx said, "From now on, you will be Miss Ben's maid, hahaha!"

"But...... This ......" Ian repulsed from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know how to refuse.

"Bear with me, when we enter Rubber Shield City, we can exchange it back. Jinx enlightened him, "You don't want us to be stopped as soon as we get to the gate of Oakshield City, do you?"

“...... Why don't you draw me a ...... like Sid's," Ian asked in a whisper.

"It's not for you, it doesn't smell like that...... Disguise is just an appearance, and if it is not suitable for body shape and temperament, it is easy to be recognized. Jinx looked at Ian, "It's not like I didn't think about making you look close to your original appearance, but mercenaries of your age are rare, and their features are too obvious." Especially now that the monsters are raging, what ordinary child's child will be wandering around outside?"

Ian didn't say anything, knowing that what Jinx said was right, but he was still awkward in his heart.

"Alright, that's it, listen to my sister, come, put this on. Jinx pulled another wig out of the box......

Ian was fully dressed and imitated a few basic standing postures with Jinx, and he looked like a meticulous maid.

"I deliberately chose a long skirt, your boots don't need to be changed, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk well in women's shoes. But be careful, don't show the stuffing. Jinx admonished as she helped straighten his dress.

"Oh. "Ian has nothing to love now, and he doesn't have the slightest desire to look in the mirror.

Ryan Giggs was whispering about Sid's new image. He was also taken aback when he saw Sid walk out just now.

At this time, he was thirsty, took out the kettle and took a sip of water. Just as Ian and Jinx walked over.

Giggs caught a glimpse of Ian's appearance and squirted a mouthful of water on Sid's face. Sid just wanted to wipe it, but Jinx stopped it in time: "Don't wipe it! It can be waterproof, but you can't help wiping it." ”

"That'...... What should I do?" Sid snapped in his face.

"Go over there, it's windy over there, just blow it dry. Jinx gestured to the edge of the cliff.

Sid reluctantly walked over there, and when he passed by Ian, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yo, what a beautiful young lady!"

Giggs also smiled at Ian, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while. I didn't mean to make fun of you, Ian. It was Jinx's craftsmanship that was so amazing that I was scared. ”

Ian applied a magical liquid to his face to cover the spots and rough skin texture on his face, making his face look much more delicate than before. Jinx put artificial eyelashes on him, put on lip blush, and touched his eyebrows. Finally, the technique of drawing scars for Sid was used to modify Ian's face shape and facial features, making it look softer and more feminine. The emaciated figure, coupled with Jinx's custom-made maid suit, makes Ian look like a handsome maid now. From him, he will not associate himself with the identity of a mercenary at all, let alone have anything to do with the object pursued by the empire.

He took the suitcase for Jinx, stuffed the changed clothes into Sid's bag, and threw his sword to Giggs: "You can only carry this for me." ”

"No problem, no problem, you sacrificed so much, what is it for me to carry a sword for you......," Giggs said earnestly, carrying Ian's long sword to his waist.

"Stop making fun of it," Jinx reprimanded with a rare serious expression, "it's all about getting through, not a masquerade." ”

"Yes, yes. Giggs hurriedly replied.

After checking that Sid's makeup was not damaged, the four of them confidently walked towards the bridge leading to Francourg.

Fort Français is a roughly square fortress, but the building is quite tall. The four guard towers at the four corners have spires reaching into the sky, and the outer walls of the buildings have very small windows open. Ian had no doubt that there were soldiers with crossbow bolts behind these windows, watching the four bridges.

The four bridges connect Fransburg and the 12-storey area from four directions. At each of the bridges there was a small and stocky house with windows almost half the size of ordinary windows, and the doors and facades of the buildings were reinforced with metal.

No matter how you look at it, it is a bridgehead, a place for soldiers to be stationed and rest. But now, it seems that it is only used as a duty post.

There were two soldiers on duty standing at the door, and when they saw them coming, one of them gave a military salute, then checked the declaration papers, counted the number of people, and after completing these routine inspections, he was released.

Walking on the bridge and looking at both sides, there is a sea of clouds below. Ian had never seen anything like it before, and leaned over to look at it.

"What's that?" Sid looked up into the distance, and everyone followed the sound in that direction.

I saw a large area of black pressure on the eastern horizon, which seemed to be still squirming slightly.

In just a moment, Giggs's face changed. He sobbed, "The army ...... why?"

"War?" Sid's face was solemn, "war with the Empire?"

"Even the Goldtail Chamber of Commerce hasn't received news of the war, how is it possible?" Jinx felt incredulous.

Ian looked at the black in the distance, dazed. He had not experienced war. But he could imagine that if the Federation and the Empire went to war, the border would be sealed, and if he wanted to enter the Empire, he would probably have to go in. When the time comes, how will we find out the cause of Zack's death, and how will we get justice for them?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became agitated, forgot his maid dress, turned his head and strode towards Franburg.

Giggs and the others were stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed, and Jinx took a few quick steps to catch up with Ian and pull him behind him.

"Don't forget who you are now!" Jinx whispered in his ear.

Ian nodded, calmed down a bit, and slowed down.

As he stepped into Franburg, Ian realized that the towering central castle and the hall on the first floor were simply a huge government center.

There aren't many people who come out to do business, and most of the people who come and go seem to be the staff here.

Giggs led them to the wide counter.

"Hey, man," Giggs said, handing over the paperwork, "Goldtail Chamber of Commerce, get a Chamber of Commerce pass." ”

The person behind the counter raised his head, took the paperwork with an indifferent expression, and quickly glanced at a few of them.

A frivolous man with strange runes on his body, a middle-aged and elderly mercenary with a giant sword and terrible scars on his face, a lovely young lady dressed luxuriously, and a tall and thin maid with a good complexion...... The clerk behind the counter pouted: "Your Golden Tail Chamber of Commerce's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the caravan is getting more and more weird?"

"Where," Giggs explained with a smile, "this time I'm just going to talk about a few sales, so I don't bring a caravan." Only this beautiful young lady was in charge of the negotiations, and her maid was in charge of the daily life, and this fellow and I were mercenaries they had hired. "The demeanor is natural, the speed of speech is smooth, and there is no indication that it is nonsense.

Go from counter to counter and get signatures one by one. After several tosses, the group finally successfully got the pass before noon. Giggs also wanted to ask the counter staff about the troops he saw on the bridge. With such a large-scale build-up, something must have happened. But every clerk, like a mechanical puppet, answered him "I don't know".

This is a center for dignitaries, and Giggs didn't dare to ask more questions after hitting a wall a few times, lest he be charged with spying on military intelligence, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Walking out of the office hall, Ian looked back at the towering building and couldn't help but imagine who lived on the top floor.

"Don't even think about going up there," Giggs knew Ian's thoughts at a glance, "that's the highest administrative center of Fran City." ”

"Hmm......" Ian's gaze fell on the vicinity of the guard tower again, "What's that?"

He found that there was a small tower behind the tower, slightly lower than the tower, and it seemed to be loaded with some kind of mechanical device, and it was impossible to tell what it was from below.

"Dragon crossbow. "It is said that the most powerful of the beasts are dragons, and these dragon crossbows are proof that Frankburg once fended off its attacks. ”

Ian was shocked. It's not that he hasn't heard of these high-level magical beasts, but most of them appear in the form of legends and stories. Now that there is such a real machine used to fight dragons in front of me, are all the legends true?

The boy looked up at the vast sky and imagined the terrifying six-winged dragon flying and circling, spitting flames from time to time, scorching houses and those who had no time to hide. The brave soldiers of Franburg returned fire with bows and arrows and several dragon crossbows...... Suddenly, blue psychic power slowly emerged and gathered in the sky, and Sid slapped Ian on the shoulder and whispered, "What do you want to do?!"

Ian's thoughts were interrupted, and he realized that he had applied his psychic power to the dragon of his imagination, and he almost realized it.

"I ......," he muttered, "I don't know." ”

Giggs gave him a meaningful look and said, "Let's go, get out of here first." ”

After quickly leaving the twelfth-story Franburg, they first found an alley to hide.

Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, Sid breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's Franburg, are you crazy?" said Giggs in a low voice, "but luckily no one noticed." ”

"I don't know......" Ian felt a little innocent, "I'm just imagining the legendary Serapus ......"

"Just imagining, ......?" Giggs paused, then turned and repeated to himself, "Just imagining." ”

He turned back to Ian and said, "I said your psychic powers are special, remember?" and without waiting for the boy to reply, "Special, it means different from other people's, so you have to remember this time that you don't imagine things randomly, especially not too specific." ”

"You're saying I'm going to ...... unconsciously"

"At the moment, it seems very likely that you can't control your psychic powers. Giggs rubbed his head, "I'm also shocked to see for the first time someone be able to embody something they haven't seen with their own eyes so easily." Just imagination......" He turned his head to look at Jinx, who expressed the same opinion with his eyes.

"At least," Jinx advised, "don't imagine anything dangerous until you've figured out what you're capable of. ”

Ian nodded silently.

At this time, it was still early, and after discussing it, several people decided to set off for Rubber Shield City immediately, and they should be able to arrive in the middle of the night at the earliest.

They found a carriage shop on the seventh floor, where they rented a carriage.
