At the northernmost end of the forest are two high mountains that sit side by side, and travelers can only pass through the extremely narrow canyon below, which is known to the people nearby as Tolang Shavaek, or "Twins"; Out of the canyon, in front of you is the Noan Gorge Plain, which is the wilderness connecting the southern region with the east, and is also the only way to the royal capital.
The royal capital of Westminster, Gondia, is an inland city located in the southeast corner of the border, although it is an inland city, it is not far from the sea; The easternmost Freeport of Rune is the richest port in the kingdom because of its proximity to the royal capital.
It is the country's gateway to the sea and a famous tourist destination, and every year countless residents of the kingdom take horse-drawn carriages to enjoy the endless sea and taste sea crabs and local specialties of emerald shrimp in rocking boats, even for the nobles, but their tables are often set elsewhere - such as a lavish ship or a high-altitude airship.
"Master, ahead is the last city on the plain, called Wag."
The little Lori in black looked at the map and said:
"At the same time, it is also the last line of defense on the west side of the royal capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fortress, and it is rumored that it is very prosperous inside."
"Prosperity means more trouble."
Xia looked at the towering city in the distance, and considered whether to enter it.
Ten days have passed since she was separated from the half-elf girl, and due to the second stage of the Star of Destruction, flying has become extremely difficult, and she has to walk through the Noan Gorge, and the monsters are raging and the wilderness is in danger. However, because of the particularity of the elemental awakening, her great magister's strength is still there, and she still broke through without danger along the way.
"If you go to the city, it's not easy to use magic openly, and the swordsman profession is still a little worse when facing the strong."
She looked down at her ragged clothes and her shoes, which were so torn that they almost showed her fingers. Coupled with the exertion of these days, it was finally decided to enter Wag City in a less conspicuous way and take a short rest inside.
"Really, master?"
After learning of her decision, the black-clothed little Lori happily hugged her neck - the perimeter of the city was no longer so dangerous, and they had already encountered several well-equipped patrol troops on the road, so she was relieved to be bold and coquettish:
"I want to drink the Denis here, master, and we're going to rob the nobles before we leave, shall we?"
She said in a cheerful tone:
"This wine from Wag is famous. But with three-quarters of the production occupied by the local aristocracy, their cellars must be full. ”
“…… How many of them do you want to empty this time? ”
Xia and she are actually rich people now, and they can use the money to buy them; But the amount of alcohol in the little Lori in black is too amazing, and every time she buys a large batch, it is very eye-catching, so she often uses the "safest way" to get wine.
"Magician?"
The guards at the gate didn't question the miserable-looking female mage too much, but let her into the city after a simple registration.
Wag City has taken in hundreds of these fallen mages these days, and many more have been lost in the wilderness. Mages in the kingdom are relatively scarce, and the planet Sarya makes the mages and magisters as vulnerable as ordinary people. Every death of this deposit is a heavy loss for Westminster.
"What a poor woman."
One of the guards sighed and said to his companion next to him:
"Her retinue is dead, and all the magic items are waste. The talisman spell can no longer be used, so it has become what it is now...... Listening to the voice is quite young, she said that she is a magician, which used to be a high-ranking figure, but now she has fallen here. ”
"Hopefully she'll have enough money on her, or she'll have to live in a hotel with the unlucky guys of the Wizards' Guild. Sean's gang is looking for trouble with them. ”
The companion shook his head:
"Next!"
Walking through the city gate, a huge street appeared in front of which ten carriages could run side by side, but the middle area seemed to not allow ordinary people to walk, and Natsu and those who entered the city came to a nearby restaurant from both sides, and the magic wand on her body was deliberately exposed so that she did not get a roll of eyes because of her shabby clothes. Instead, he was respectfully invited in.
"Because of the recent increase in prices, all meals are twice as expensive as usual, so I ask for your understanding."
The waiter politely reminded him, and then handed over the menu.
"The street stalls in Dalton are paid in copper coins, and in places like Canning City, the most are silver coins, and gold coins are already used in this place."
Natsu looked at the gorgeous dishes at the top of the menu, and there were flashing blue markings inside, which were the symbol of the magic crystal.
"It's too extravagant to use the blue magic crystal for a meal."
As a princess of the kingdom, the silver-haired girl thought to herself:
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road; It seems that this situation is common in any world. ”
"Miss Mage?"
Finding her staring at the price in a daze, the waiter's face began to become a little ugly.
This is a high-end restaurant in a prime area at the city gate, and every day a few idiots will come in with a gold coin or two to eat, and finally see the menu and pee their pants in fright; He didn't think the guest with the magic wand at his waist would be that kind of person, but now it seems that he might be gone.
Just as he was considering whether to ask the guards to pay attention to the guest, the other party finally spoke up.
"These two."
Xia casually ordered two dish names:
"Then bring me one of your most famous desserts."
"Please wait."
The waiter took note of what the other party asked for with a suspicious look, and then hurriedly found the foreman and whispered to him about it.
"Smack!"
The bald foreman looked at the magic wand on Xia's waist and slapped him on the head:
"Keep your dog's eyes open and see clearly, the material and craftsmanship of that staff!"
He grabbed the waiter by the tie and pulled him into the inner room:
"You're my nephew, so I'm just going to say one more thing today, this is not the country. It's a place close to the royal capital! Even the Sword Saint would come here in casual clothes for a spin...... Remember, you're a waitress at the best restaurant in Wag, and you're only responsible for serving guests, even if the other party eats the overlord meal, it has nothing to do with you, got it? Go back to work! ”
After driving his nephew away, the bald foreman said to himself:
"Looks like a rich mage. At least not to be stripped naked and thrown on the street by those hooligans. Then he walked out with his hands behind his back, and stood there smiling at every guest who passed by.
Xia didn't know what was happening next to him, tried the tea, felt that it was no problem and poured it down, and the person next to him frowned at his rough behavior.
"Hmph, so no one messes with me."
The silver-haired girl triumphantly put the cup down.
This is the rule she summed up, when she needs to hide her identity, as long as she does disgusting behavior, she won't attract perverts or people who want to be close. This simple trick often works.
The little Lori in black was nervously scanning the people in the restaurant.
She had spotted two objects of threat to her host, a thin, unassuming-looking guard standing in the corner, and a guest at a nearby table.
It wasn't surprising that the guards in the high-end places of the big cities were extraordinary, but the guest was just an ordinary young man, and it was a bit of a problem to have a lot of strength at this age, or at least certainly he was not an ordinary person.
"Stephanie, this Denis costs 50 gold for a bottle. It's so expensive. ”
Natsu found the wine that the little Lori in black wanted to drink from the menu left on the table.
"Hee-hee, the more expensive, the better. In this way, the more we can take advantage, just to make those bad nobles cry. ”
The little Lori in black quickly checked the people in the restaurant and flew to her side and said.
"There are mages here, too, but the state of his body seems to be a little strange."
Bored drinking water, Xia called up the system panel and looked at the information of the people around him.
There's a gorgeously dressed old man with an extra debuff in his info bar, and his mana value varies wildly between 0 and max. This is probably the phenomenon caused by the second stage of the Star of Destruction.
"The Magician's Night."
The term came to her mind.
"At that time, all the magic factors will become extremely chaotic, elemental magic, dark magic...... All of them become unusable, and the magicians will choose to escape from the world......"
The half-elf girl's words rang in her ears, which made her feel a little irritated.
"Is it really okay to leave Nana there?"
One thought of Natia Vida. Her heart would always hang involuntarily.
"I should have left all five black spirit knights behind, but she refused to live or die, so in the end she had to leave four, so she was still very unhappy, and pinched me hard before leaving."
She touched the pinched place, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Fortunately, I learned the soul contract from the Great Lich Fernanxi, otherwise the Black Spirit Knights would not be able to use it, after all, summoning is also a type of magic."
When the pot of tea was almost finished, the dish was finally served, and she tasted it, and felt that it did taste good, but it was still not as good as the food made by Nati Yavida herself.
"It's strange, why do I keep thinking about her all the way, is it because I'm obsessed?"
Xia sighed in his heart, obviously there were exquisite dishes in front of him, but he couldn't swallow it.
After taking a magic crystal to settle the account, the waiter nodded and sent her out, Xia thought he wanted to reward money, but after taking it out, the other party refused to accept it, and finally had to give up.
"Big cities are just different."
She put the coin back with emotion:
"Even the waiters in the restaurant are so disciplined."
was about to find a hotel on the street to live in, and the little Lori in black suddenly issued a warning:
"Master, the young man I told you just now was walking the same road as us, I don't know if he was following us."
"How can you be targeted?"
Xia looked at his dress in wonder, wearing a torn magic robe, his neck and face were deliberately smeared with black ash, and he couldn't see his skin at all, if there was anything eye-catching, it should be the staff. She took it out specifically in order to go into the city.
"Is it because I used a magic crystal? This must be a normal thing in a restaurant like that, right? ”
She and the black-clothed little Lori turned into the side alley, and the other party followed.
"Call up his specific information and show it to me."
Natsu gave the order.
2 seconds later, a message from the other party appeared in front of her eyes:
Character Name: Harris. Loga
Race: Human
Maximum class level: 607
First Class: Assassin (lv607)
Second class: Fire Mage (Lv320)
"This guy is actually a double class, and the second class is about to turn four."
Looking at the three words of assassin on it, Xia's expression became solemn:
What do such people do behind them?
"Master, do you want to yin him?"
The little loli in black built yì to:
"His defense shouldn't be high, and now he can't use talisman magic. The power-ups are all gone; Master, you can easily cut his neck with the Nightmare Shadow sneak attack and then release the telekinesis cut. ”
Now Xia already has the strength to be superior to his peers, even if he fights head-on, he will have an advantage, let alone a sneak attack.
"Why are you so murderous? This guy seems to be a noble kid with a background, let's just stay here for half a day, take a break and leave, there's no need to cause trouble. ”
Xia gently knocked on the head of the little Lori in black:
"We'll just find a way to avoid him."
The young man in the rear followed, and noticed that the other party had suddenly picked up speed.
"Wait a minute! I have no ill will—"
He knew that he had been discovered, and he hurried after him. Shouting while chasing:
"Miss Magician, I would like to ask if your magic wand will be sold? I pay a high price ......"
But Xia had already been running around in the alley at this time, and he didn't hear him shouting at all.
"Oh my God, is she really a magician?"
The man named Harris gasped and looked at the empty alley ahead, the assassin was one of the most mobile professions, and he had been dumped so quickly.
"Alas, my dear Edith...... I had to find someone else. ”
He turned in disappointment and left the deep alley.
"The hosts. He doesn't seem to mean anything. ”
The black-clothed little Lori and Xia hung on a high place and watched him leave, and the former said suspiciously.
"With or without malice. It's best not to deal with this kind of person at all. ”
The blue light in Xia's eyes disappeared, and a piece of wood suspended under his feet fell, and the person also fell to the ground.
Superpowers are not affected by the Star of Destruction, so at this time, it is less labor-intensive to use telekinesis than to use magic, and there are no mana fluctuations.
"Look at the residential area to the west, there should be a suitable hotel there."
The two came to the west of the city. It turned out that this was a civilian residential area, and the houses were much more dilapidated than near the city gate, and most of them were low-rise buildings.
"Something seems to be going on up ahead."
Xia heard a faint shout of scolding in front of him.
She didn't want to cause trouble, her brows furrowed and she was trying to avoid it, when she saw a young girl in the crowd.
At first glance, this girl looks like a human. But there were two strange ears on his head, and he was being kicked hard by a man.
She desperately protected her head, but her body and arms were hit more because of this, the little girl's big eyes were full of tears, and she let the other party kick and beat without saying a word, and there were many people standing next to her, but none of them came out to stop her.
"Hey! You-"
Xia shouted angrily, and just a few steps to that side, he saw two other little girls with strange ears rushing over and pounced on the girl who was kicked, blocking the kick from behind.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Amid the pointing and pointing of the people around them, the two girls kept apologizing in the stumbling mainland lingua franca, their dirty faces filled with frightened looks.
