Chapter 44: Graystone City

Leylin didn't know that someone behind him was already planning to deal with him, but he still drove the carriage all the way.

It had been five days, and it wasn't until there were traces of human existence around him that he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although wizards have always looked down on ordinary humans, just like humans look at ants, it is undeniable that it is these ordinary people who are the basis for the continuous production of wizards.

Therefore, although things like the human body are repeatedly prohibited, and it is even more upright in the Black Bone Forest Academy, all wizards will try to avoid human gathering places when they do it, so as to avoid causing a large number of casualties, otherwise they will be rejected by all wizards.

"Once you're at the city in front of you, you can rest a little!" After five days of traveling, Leylin and his horse were tired enough.

Slowing down slightly, Leylin surveyed the surrounding scene.

Scattered on both sides of the sparse pine fields, there is a huge windmill mill not far away.

A clear stream flows through the fields, and there are some unknown fish swimming slowly in it.

Seeing this scene, Lei Lin suddenly relaxed.

"Quiet, peaceful human world, this breath of tranquility, I haven't felt it in a long time......"

"According to the map, the nearest city should be Greystone City!" Lei Lin looked at the map displayed by the chip.

"It's still too close to the academy, and although there is a gathering point for wizards nearby, it's too dangerous to sell potions or find out about the situation!"

"And I always have some bad premonitions!" Leylin frowned, looking in the direction behind him.

"If I kill that Dryad Giant, will the enemy let me go so easily?"

"Ding! Mimic analysis complete!"

At this moment, the prompt sound of the chip sounded.

"Great!" said Thunder Lin's face was overjoyed, and he quickly skimmed through the introduction of the mimetic technique.

"Mimic: Level 0 Spell Effect: Can slightly change the shape of facial muscles Duration: One day consumption: A little spirit, a little mana!"

This is a zero-level spell specially selected by Lei Lin, specially used to disguise his identity.

"However, is it just a change in appearance?" Lei Lin muttered, "Many wizards use guò mental fluctuations and even the soul level to determine their identities, of course, these are all things that will happen after the official wizard, and I am unlikely to encounter them now." ”

"Chip!, can you optimize the effect of mimetic technique so that it has the effect of masking mental power fluctuations!"

Leylin asked.

"Ding!Establish tasks, establish optimization goals, and start simulation and analysis ......"

After about ten seconds, the feedback from the chip came: "It can be optimized, it requires 7 points of mental power, consumes 14 days and 5 hours, and needs to supplement advanced knowledge: spirit research, annihilation runes." ”

"Seven points of spiritual power, I can reach it in a few years, but the knowledge about spirit research and the Annihilation Rune are not so easy to get!"

For the study of souls and the like, it has always been the most mysterious part of the wizarding world, although the Black Bone Forest Academy claims to be at the forefront and has achieved a lot of research results, but I am afraid that it only understands some superficial principles, and Lei Lin is only a second-class apprentice, so he has no access to this content.

"Mimicry is enough for the time being!" Leylin looked around, driving the carriage into the grove to the side.

A moment later, when Leylin came out again, his appearance had completely changed.

The original young man's face has matured a lot, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a public face.

His body had also been replaced with a pair of weathered leather armor, and the scabbard of the cross sword had become a little old.

Lei Lin's figure was already relatively tall, and the food was very good, and he was very close to the average height of an adult before, but now he looked like a thin and experienced mercenary.

Leylin came to a stream and looked at his new face, "Well, yes! Even the vocal cords have been modified to change his voice." ”

The voice also became thick and hoarse, changing from the original gentleness and immaturity of the youth.

"Let's enter the city with this face for the time being!" Lei Lin nodded, and then took out another brown paper bag, which opened and was filled with a cloud of white powder.

"The odorless powder of the underground insects! just one gram can completely wipe away the body odor of living beings!" Leylin whispered.

"I don't have a good way to do it in terms of spiritual power, but in the secular world, I should still be able to achieve the extreme, my face and smell have changed, and ordinary means will definitely not find me!"

Leylin looked at the carriage again, thought for a moment, and threw away the other superfluous things, only the potions and spell books, and the boxes of raw materials were tied to the two horses.

"Let's go!" Coming to the last horse, which had no weight on it, Leylin untied the reins and whipped him hard.

"Woo!" the black horse roared and ran in an unknown direction.

Leylin then sprinkled the carriage with a red powder, and then used the odorless powder of the ground borer on the remaining two horses before stepping on one of them.

Not long after Leylin left, black smoke began to rise from the woods, and then a majestic flame erupted.

As he continued along the main road, there were more and more human traces on the side of the road, and after walking for an hour, Leylin saw the outline of Graystone City.

The walls of the Greystone City are very low, and the gray buildings with domes and spires can be seen from the outside.

Next to the city gates, there were also soldiers with weapons on patrol.

"What for?" a leader wearing half a piece of leather armor stopped Leylin.

"Mercenaries, part-time merchants!" said Leylin with a smile, catching a greedy look in the eyes of the soldiers behind the leader.

The leader looked at the big horse that Lei Lin was riding and the box behind him, swallowed his saliva, and swept over Lei Lin's waist again, especially when he saw the cross sword on Lei Lin's waist, there was obviously a look of jealousy on his face.

"One copper for the entrance fee!"

"Here you go!" Reelin tossed a brand new brass currency to the leader.

"You can go in! remember not to wander out at night, or you will be caught in jail by the patrols!" the leader squeezed out an ugly smile.

"Thank you!" Leylin entered the city gate with his luggage.

"Head?" a soldier was visibly unwilling.

"Shut up, don't look at the other party's outfit, how can he arrive at the city alone with the goods safe and sound, how can he have simple goods? Maybe he is just a knight!" the leader lowered his voice, "Don't trouble this kind of person in the future!"

"It seems that no matter where you go, strength is a valid pass!"

Lei Lin rode a black horse on the streets of Gray Rock City, and saw that the civilians on both sides were afraid to avoid, and there was also a lot of fear and envy in Lei Lin's eyes, and he couldn't help but nod.

"It's just that, looking at the prosperity of this gray stone city, I'm afraid it's not as good as a small town in the future!"

Lei Lin roughly estimated the area of the entire Greystone City, and found that there were only 10,000 residents at most.

As for the living conditions in the city, it is even worse.

The road surface is yellow mud, and there is a lot of mud and sand on it, and a slight gust of wind will raise yellow dust.

Most of the pedestrians on both sides were yellow-skinned and thin, wearing gray or black rough clothes with many cuts in them.

On both sides of the road, there are many railings with cattle and sheep, and other small domestic animals are running on the road, and the smell of fresh manure is always around.

"Dirty, messy, poor!" was Leylin's first impression of Greystone City.

"Find a hotel to stay in first!" The continuous rush made Lei Lin a little tired.

After searching for a long time, Lei Lin didn't find anything like an inn, and finally spent a few coppers to find a place to live from a resident.

"Great sword and wine glass! this is it!" Lei Lin looked at the letters on the sign, a little speechless.

The location of this shop is in Xicheng, it seems that the law and order is relatively chaotic, Lei Lin has seen a lot of drunkenness and fights along the way, and one party even used a short knife and a dagger, but no trace of the sheriff was found.

Pushing open the door, a shoddy smell of alcohol filled Leylin's nostrils.

"Here, another drink!" "Good job, Czech!"

Inside it was a bar, with a lot of drunks drinking heartily, and some half-opened drunken eyes, putting their hands on the body of the escort girl, and saying foul language.

"Sir, what do you need?" the bartender was a young man with yellow hair, and the most sober man in the whole bar.

"I heard there's a place to live here?"

Leylin sat down in a high chair next to the counter.

"Yes, we are the only one in the whole city of Greystone!" the bartender shrugged, "but that's nothing to be proud of, because there aren't many travelers in our city all year round!"

"How much will I pay for a quiet room and take care of my two horses?" Leylin looked at the oak vat behind the bartender.

"Bring me the best wine you've ever had!" Leylin tossed a silver coin.

"We'll be happy to serve you!" the bartender quickly brought a glass of liquor with a handle to the table: "Honey butter wine!

Leylin sipped his wine as he listened to the bartender begin his introduction.

In fact, many wizards don't like alcohol that numbs the nerves, preferring drinks that refresh them.

Leylin also rarely drinks alcohol, but he is just curious to try it. However, the taste of this glass of honey butter wine is really ordinary, and it has an astringent taste, which makes Lei Lin feel cheated.

"The cost of our accommodation here is thirty coppers a night, taking care of two horses, plus forage, twenty coppers a day!"

Lei Lin had changed a batch of change on his body before leaving the academy, and now he threw out two silver coins very boldly: "Let's stay for four days first, and then ......."

"Look! What a good horse! This coat color! This body shape is definitely more expensive than the war horse of the City Lord's Mansion!"

A voice sounded annoying to listen to.
