Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Companion for Study
Al: He ran heartily in front, and Hill scolded angrily after him.
"Lost again, run so fast, when the monster eats, see what you do. ”
"During the day, he walks slowly, and he quickly moves to catch up. ”
Another person pulled open a door to the space and dragged out a scrawny man with blank eyes.
The tall Hill looked at him and smiled, "Ordinary tracking spells don't work against that little guy, you have to hold on"
After saying that, he crushed a bright red gem and stuffed it into his mouth, and his body instantly swelled up as if he was cheering up, bald, without eyebrow hair, and moaning hoarsely in pain.
Ciel's unsympathetic grasp of his neck lifted him up, and thrust a bone sacrifice dagger into his scarred heart.
"Matol's bloodline positioning!"
Judging from the map model constructed in the brain by mirror memory, Al, who was hurrying day and night, was already approaching the prosperous central region of the Bright Empire, Sui City. Sue City is famous for having a world-class organization that is famous throughout the continent, the Candlefort Library. "Elementary Potions", which once made Al earn his first pot of gold, came from here.
He started running here to visit this sacred place in the hearts of all mages.
Al changes his appearance into a thin teenager with a little freckles on his face. After the three major churches, adventurers, and mercenaries were looking for him everywhere, and his true appearance was useless.
He took out a set of robes from the shadows and put them on, and deliberately made a circle from the official road north of Sui City, pretending to be a traveler from the north, and spent five silver coins to catch a merchant's carriage. There was actually a teenager in the car who came out to study like him.
"Hey, are you also here to visit the Book Castle?" Seeing his peers, the young man in the carriage felt more cordial.
"Yes, my name is Lin, and I'm from a small county near Ellan of Light, what about you?" Al casually made up a name, Ellan of Light is the nearest big city in the imperial capital of the Empire of Light, located in the north of the Empire of Light.
"Then you are also from the Imperial Capital, we are fellow countrymen, I am from the Eternal Capital, my name is Eddie, a fourth-level change school mage. "The Eternal Capital is the capital of the Empire of Light.
Fortunately, there is a geographical travelogue of Ellan of Ben Light in the City Lord's Mansion of Wave City, so Al can chat with Eddie without revealing his stuff, as for the accent is a pure lingua franca, the mage's pronunciation has always been standard, otherwise what kind of spell to chant.
Eddie was very enthusiastic, and when he entered the city, he helped Al pay ten coppers to enter the city. Al's identity certificate was specially bought from the Adventure Guild, and then he made a fake according to the specifications, and the paperwork is also the mage's craft.
"You're going to Book Fort tomorrow, or are you going to spend two days in Sui City first?" said Eddie, like a real traveler who had come out to play, and asked Al with great interest.
"Let's rest for two days first, I haven't slept well for a long time in the wilderness. ”
"Then let's go together, it's still early, let's go around?Sui City is famous for its book castle, and there are a lot of books here. By the way, are your tickets ready for the Book Castle? Why don't we exchange them first?" Eddie suggested as he took out a book from his satchel and looked at Al expectantly.
The Candle Castle Library is simply known as the Candle Castle, and the Minor Mages prefer to call it the Book Castle because it is indeed a large library. Only neutral, orderly scholars and spellcasters are eligible to visit, and the so-called ticket is a book, whether it is a biography, a poem, a transcription of a stolen bought, or a copy of your own writing, you are eligible to stay in it for one to ten days. For this reason, the business of selling books in Sui City is particularly good, and the tickets that are bound to enter are often worth a lot of money.
"Not yet, but I can write it down in my head. ”
"Alright then, we'll have to look at it then. Let's go shopping over there first, and I'm going to write my own introduction to the School of Change, what about you?"
"You're so good, you can summarize it yourself, I have prepared three copies, and I don't know which one can be used as a ticket"
"Allah, even if you can't get in, the book castle will give the apprentice a book, and it won't be in vain. ”
Sui City is full of bookstores, either shouting about the boutiques that come out of the book castle or are tickets to the book castle.
Eddie has a very high eye, and he doesn't choose it after a few glances. Al looked like a redneck, flipping through every book. If the shopkeeper hadn't noticed something was wrong and stopped him, he would probably have read all the books here.
"Xiao Lin is really not a picky eater, he reads everything. "No one is stupid, and most mages will have the ability to never forget, but they don't have Al's mirror memory exaggeration.
Al smiled embarrassedly, it was hard to find a book in the imperial capital, and the habits he had developed were not noticed.
Al is hungry for food, Eddie has no expectations for Al's so-called three books, and the two of them each asked for a room when they found the hotel, Eddie originally wanted a luxury suite, and when he saw that Al only needed a common suite, he should also come back, as if to take care of the self-esteem of his new friend.
"Actually, I just wanted to save face, but in the end, I felt that it was too expensive," Eddie explained to Al with a grin.
There is a curfew in Sui City, and after dark, the range of activities can only be reduced to hotels. Eddie was noisy and went back to his room after asking for food, but Al refused Eddie's chat on the grounds that he was tired and had to write out the three books.
After entering the house, he locked the door, leaned on the chair, released the seven mouse brothers, and rushed to the bookstore that he walked by during the day by night, and visited them sincerely.
During the day, Eddie made an appointment to go shopping, and the book castle was still three days away by carriage from here. They are the travelers, and they are the most remembered by thieves. Al's stuff is in the shadows, just carrying a shoulder bag and pretending.
Eddie's wallet was touched several times, and then he fell to the ground and convulsed in front of Eddie with a whoop on the spot, looking exactly like the electric shock in his memory.
"Hey, no one will be able to steal my wallet this time" Eddie took back the wallet from the thief and set up a trick electric shock trap again, hehe smiled, I don't know how many times it has been stolen, I can be proud of it.
Several of the three hands who were electrocuted were all the same age, and they were not very old in this line of work, and they gathered together through gritted teeth and whispered, discussing how to give this stranger who played and insulted them a good look.
The advantage of mage travel is that many things can be solved with spells, and there is no need to bring torches, flints, antidotes, mosquito repellents, snake repellents, pots and pans, blankets and other miscellaneous things like ordinary people. Food and water will be provided by the hotel, and Eddie comes out to buy some snacks to add some fun to the boring travel, and by the way, replenish some spell casting materials.
Al is dispensable, following Eddie in an attempt to disguise his identity.
