015 Level Up (M)
Just in case! Regarding Liang Lidong's question, the old village chief only said this sentence and then stopped talking.
It's just a trip to Winterwind City, do you need the help of finding the 'Black Mercenary' in a hidden location? It stands to reason that there is no need, but Liang Lidong doesn't think that the old village chief is just talking casually, the other party may have foreseen that something might happen to them on this trip to Winter Wind City, and the matter should be related to Kyle, after all, Liang Lidong 'appeared' in this world for less than three days, and the range of activities is also near the village, so it is impossible to make enemies with the people in Winter Wind City.
If his guess is correct, the village chief should want to borrow his hand to get rid of some of the trouble Kyle caused, but this trouble should not be too big, otherwise he will not rest assured that Liang Lidong will take his grandson to Winter Wind City alone, after all, Kyle is the only lifeblood of the Reed family, and what he just said should be to remind Liang Lidong that if he can't handle it, he can go to someone he knows for help.
Can a small village chief lay a hidden pile in the city? Liang Lidong felt that this was not very likely, the village chief looked like an ordinary person, if it was a professional, according to the situation in the game, the village chief should have a level suffix added to the name displayed in the system...... But he didn't, not only him, Belin is also an ordinary person like Kyle, although Kyle is a lot better than ordinary people, but he is still an ordinary person, not a professional.
If it was in the game, this should be regarded as a 'task', but at this time, Liang Lidong did not receive any system prompts, that is, the task system also failed.
Soon Kyle Note took Belin into the house, because she heard that she was going to Winter Wind City, the girl seemed very happy, she deliberately changed into a light brown linen skirt without patches, and dressed herself up a little, the old village chief told the two of them a few words, let them listen to Liang Lidong's words, don't make random claims, and then slowly go upstairs to prepare for a lunch break. Liang Lidong looked at the old man's somewhat rickety back, then turned his head and asked Kyle, "How long has it been since you've been to Winterwind City?" β
"It's been about half a year." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been there since the de novo tax was raised." β
Liang Lidong took a sip of water and continued to ask, "Has your grandfather not been to Winter Wind City for half a year?" β
"Not really." Kyle reminisced and said, "Grandpa goes once a month, but every time he has something to do, he can't take me with him." β
Hearing this, Liang Lidong understood that it should indeed be a little trouble about Kyle, he thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The two of you will prepare, and we will set off in a while." β
A few minutes later, the three appeared at the entrance of the village. At this time, the weather was a little too good, the sun was shining directly on the yellow muddy road, drying the originally muddy road into pieces of dry and cracked 'fish scales', and the steaming hot air kept distorting the scenery in the distance, Kyle handed Liang Lidong a twig woven hat: "Teacher, walking in such weather, if you are exposed to the sun for too long, it is easy to get heat stroke, although things are ugly, but it is very practical." β
Now many children have changed their words to call Liang Lidong a teacher, and Kyle is the same, he looks at Liang Lidong's fine skin and tender meat, and his skin is better than that of aristocratic girls, and he is a little worried that he can't stand such a scorching sun, but in essence, his worries are completely superfluous. Liang Lidong has been in the game world for eight years, from the initial novice to the famous and powerful player of the server, he has experienced a lot of things, long-term expeditions, tasks, and an environment that is a hundred times worse than this, but the scorching sun in the afternoon is not taken into his eyes at all.
And most importantly, he is a professional, and his physique attributes are not bad, with seven points, which is already at the 'good' level according to the game's evaluation. The general environmental climate has not been able to affect his physical health.
"No!" Liang Lidong waved his hand and thanked the other party for his kindness: "By the way, how far is Winter Wind City from here." β
"If you walk normally, it's about an hour and a half."
"There's not enough time, we have to speed it up."
Liang Lidong flicked his fingers and launched the 'Fog Driving' talent. The three of them were shrouded in the center of a 100-meter dense fog, and the summer midday sun could not penetrate this dense fog, but the three of them were in it, and their vision was not affected in any way, and they felt very cool. Liang Lidong used the talent of driving fog at this time, not just for comfort, but to speed up his walking speed. In Franse, there are many skills, talents, or magic that can increase one's movement speed, but there are quite few skills that can increase the movement speed of allies on a large scale.
And the skill of 'driving the fog' can not only strengthen the movement speed of allies, but also count as silent movement, if used at night, it can be used as a group stealth skill, not only that, but this skill can also weaken the enemy's vision, hearing, and movement speed, it is simply a BUG-like bloodline magic, used in large-scale clan battles, it can definitely occupy a great advantage in an instant.
Although friendly targets can only enjoy half of the bonus effect now, the effect of 1.5 is converted to speed, which is a travel speed of 1.5 meters per second, and the walking speed of normal people is generally about 1-1.5 meters per second, which means that after entering the dense fog, Kyle and Belin are just ordinary walking, but the effect is already equivalent to trotting.
"Magic is truly amazing." Kyle looked around in the fog, and he could feel that he was walking noticeably faster, and with less effort. Although he had already experienced this once, he was still amazed by the charm of magic.
Belin followed Kyle, her lips moving, and then she sighed slightly.
Because of the faster walking, it only took the three of them about half an hour to reach the foot of Winter Wind City. There were a lot of people coming in and out of the city gates, and then everyone nearby saw a thick fog covering the road in the distance, floating at an unfast speed...... This strange situation made everyone understand at once that there was a spellcaster coming to the city, and they wanted to avoid this dense fog, but the road was so big, less than five meters, and the range of the 'Fog Driving' skill was now a radius of one hundred meters, and they couldn't avoid it at all.
Those who ran fast hid in the city, while those who couldn't run could only watch themselves 'swallowed' by the thick fog, unable to see anything in front of them or hear any sound, as if they were the only ones in this world...... Fortunately, this feeling quickly disappeared, and the fog disappeared in an instant, and three people appeared in the center of the road, a young man in a red priest's robe, and a boy and a girl.
The young man had bright golden hair, shining faintly in the sun, his skin was fair, his eyes were bright, and several soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate were stared at by him, and they all felt a panic, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. The surrounding civilians watched this young man lead the boy and girl into the city, and the soldiers guarding the city gate not only did not dare to stop him, but also took a step back and bowed their heads to salute as a sign of respect.
The city of Winter Wind is very large, and the roads in the city are paved with black stone slabs. Liang Lidong walked on the right side of the road, followed by Kyle and Belin. The three of them did not deliberately occupy the road, but they caused the effect of occupying the road...... When the oncoming person saw Liang Lidong, he would immediately hide to the side and let him go before leaving, and the person who was left behind did not dare to overtake the three of them.
Liang Lidong's believer's robes faintly flowing with blue magical luster, as well as the magic cloak and magic cloth shoes, all reminded the people around him that this was a spellcaster, and no one should approach it.
In the city of Winter Wind, there are several spellcasters who have settled here, so the residents of the city are well aware of the consequences of offending the caster.
"The spellcaster is amazing." Kyle looked at the cautious expressions of the people around him and sighed again.
There was a crossroads in front of him, and Liang Lidong turned his head and asked Kyle, "Do you know that there are alchemy items for sale in the city?" β
Kyle replied, "There's a mercenary guild in the west of the city, and I think it should have the alchemy items you need." β
"Lead the way."
Kyle immediately walked ahead. Compared with the people in the village, the people in Winterwind City are cleaner and have more patterns, at this time it is not past noon, the sun is very poisonous, and there are usually no noble ladies coming out, but the female residents of the ordinary city are dressed quite well, in Belin's opinion, these city people are really beautiful.
The Mercenary Guild is a force all over the "Francois Continent", and where there are intelligent lives, there are almost all its branches. On the surface, this force is powerful, but in essence, the mercenary guild is just a platform that provides a platform for nobles, wealthy and professional contacts to be made. Whether it is a nobleman or a professional, the mercenary union cannot effectively win over, they take commissions, can make a lot of money, but do not have much political voice.
The faΓ§ade of the mercenary guild is large, and there are several fierce guards standing outside. Normally, ordinary people are not qualified to enter the mercenary union, but Liang Lidong's very conspicuous believer robe made the guards shut up, as if they didn't see Kyle and Belin, the two village children.
Liang Lidong also went to the mercenary union to take over many tasks in the game, so he is quite familiar with the doorway here. He walked up to a handsome waitress and asked, "What kind of conditions do you need to buy alchemy items here?" β
"As long as you can prove the identity of your caster, you can buy it." The waitress looked at Liang Lidong dressed in a believer's robe, and then said, "I don't think you need to prove it anymore, please go up to the second floor, someone will entertain Your Excellency." β
Magic items, only when the caster wears them will show the effect, so to speak, there is no way for the caster to impersonate, and the robes of the believers on Liang Lidong's side are the best proof of identity. The entry conditions of the mercenary union are exactly the same as in the game, as long as you prove that you are a spellcaster, you can buy alchemy items, as long as you prove that you are a professional and register with the mercenary union, the union will release the task list for its members to watch.
Going up to the second floor, a male waiter came up, asked Liang Lidong about his intentions, and took him to a large room next to him, where there were many counters, on which were placed colorful items, from plant roots, to animal specimens, and all kinds of precious stones.
Liang Lidong plans to buy some materials to go back to make magic scrolls, and teach students to get character experience, and similarly, making magic scrolls can also get character experience, and to get more scriptures than teaching students, Liang Lidong plans to go back to the village to make a few scrolls later, and wait for midnight, when the system settles experience, it should be able to raise the character level from '0' to '1'.
Alchemically treated parchment, broken shards of sapphire, miniature rubies, water tree roots, and alum dust...... Liang Lidong bought more than a dozen miscellaneous items, and then put them all in the space backpack. The middle-aged man in charge of selling the goods is also a spellcaster, and he wears a black robe with red magic patterns on it. After seeing that the things Liang Lidong bought were missing, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and immediately leaned up, and approached Liang Lidong: "Your Excellency, you have space equipment, and you are a person from the Colorless Magic Tower?" β
