It was midday, and Laetitia, dressed in casual clothes, was still quietly working in front of the loom. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Her long brown and black hair was coiled high, and if it weren't for the small pointed ears unique to the elves, then she would look no different from a beautiful human young woman. Behind her, the faint smell of food emanated from the old house, and the wooden tables in the dining room were covered with some cooked dishes -- it was almost like the sight of a wife waiting for her husband to return late.

Suddenly......

With a loud "bang", the wooden door was slammed open, and Su Wen, who was sweating profusely, rushed into the house in a puff of smoke, and then went straight into his room.

"Laetitia, no one is allowed in until night!"

A word was hurriedly dropped, and the door to the room was slammed shut.

Then everything returned to calm.

Laetitia did not reply, her hands still pressed on the woven cloth, as if completely indifferent to Suven's return, or rather simply ignored him. It's just that, compared to before, her hand tendons are slightly tight, and she is obviously a little overforced......

......

Su Wen, who entered the room, was not idle, he gritted his teeth, clenched his blood-soaked fist, and finally found gauze and bandaged himself simply. By the time he had smeared his palms with ointment and wrapped them in mummies, there was already a mess of blood on the ground—the rat man's slash was really ruthless, and Su Wen swore that half of the sweat on his forehead was due to the severe pain in his hands.

After doing this, Su Wen took out the warm and jade-like wrist guard from his pocket, washed the blood stains on the hand guard with water, and put it on the table to observe quietly.

"Sure enough, it's the handiwork of the elves!"

When he first got this handguard, Su Wen only found that there were many traces of carving on it, but at that time he had no time to observe it carefully, but now, he found that the carvings on the bracer were more than "many"? Under the magnifying glass, Su Wen even felt that even the five-meter-high carved stone tablet on the central avenue of Tridis City did not necessarily have more carved traces than on this bracer -- the intricate hollowing made the entire bracer look like a huge "beehive", and the "hive" The mutual cooperation and staggered arrangement between them form a three-dimensional, highly aesthetic inscription.

Su Wen judged that such a complex and sophisticated project, even among the elven clan, was of high quality, and it would probably take several years for an excellent elven builder to complete.

30,000 gold coins, 50,000 gold coins?

Su Wen looked at this bracer and felt that his eyes were full of glittering gold coins.

Anyway, this time he is definitely rich! Although he lost more than 2,000 exchange points, even the dagger capital with a price tag of 4,000 points worth 10,000 gold coins last night made Su Wen quite tempted, you can imagine how much money he made this time - Su Wen even began to think about whether he should go to the underground auction house to buy a reliable combat maid after getting this gold coin, and then release this half-elf girl who can only give himself white eyes?

Well, without further ado!

Just like before, Su Wen opened the wardrobe and took out an extremely wide dark gray robe from the bottom. And at the moment when this seemingly extremely simple robe was taken out, a faint elemental coercion quickly permeated every corner of the room, as if there was a powerful magician standing in the center of the room, which was difficult to breathe - even Su Wen himself, who was holding the robe, breathed a little heavily.

"The Pretender's Robes: Excellent Quality, Magical Defense 17-23, Physical Defense 0-1, Low Equipment Strength, Enchantment: Elder's Breath (Advanced. When worn, it emits the equivalent of a high-level mage, causing others to misassess the wearer's identity, and the coercion caused by the enchantment has no effect on the wearer. Voice change (intermediate. The wearer's voice changes dramatically and becomes more muffled. ）”

This may be the only enchanted prop that Su Wen did not exchange for gold coins, on the one hand, because this kind of prop that dies at the light may not be bought by a few people who are willing to spend a lot of money, and on the other hand, Su Wen has a reason to keep it - he needs an identity that can shock people, otherwise those valuable magic tools alone can cost him a small life. The city of Tridis is indeed known for its good security throughout the Northern Continent, but after all, it is not as clean as in fairy tales.

Soon, Su Wen put on this robe.

Sure enough, as introduced by the attributes, Su Wen looked completely different after wearing it: at this time, he was more like a strong man full of murderous aura, and when he slowly pulled down the wide hood behind the robe to cover his appearance, this aura of slaughter was even more mysterious - no matter who it was, he would never associate him with the "Shame of Tridis".

And then......

Su Wen cautiously put away the elven bracer, opened a secret door in the corner of the room, and quietly slipped in, leaving only an empty and quiet room.

After passing through several kilometers of narrow tunnels, even though there were several vents in the middle to ensure breathing, Su Wen was still holding his breath and dizzy. It was a hill two kilometers away from the city of Tridis, surrounded by an intricate of trees and bushes, and since it was completely devoid of hunting and felling, no one would normally notice it - although he didn't know why the owner of his broken house had left such a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, it did help Su Wen many times, at least he didn't have to worry about showing up at his doorstep in his current form.

"Ahem...... Ahem!"

Su Wen coughed twice, and after finding that the pretender's robe was working normally, and his voice did sound like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, Shi Shiran walked out of the woods and walked slowly towards Tridis City.

――

After all, there had been no war for nearly two hundred years, and the walls of Tridis had long since lost their blood and majesty, and even the filthy moat was filled with sewage from the sewers. But I have to admit that the fifty-meter-high outer city wall still looks extremely grand, especially the magic cannons that have long been ornaments on the top of the city tower, as if telling their past glory.

It's just that the city gate, which is not bustling on weekdays, has a serious congestion today. The long convoy was even a kilometer away, and according to their turtle-like speed, Su Wen even felt that if he hadn't come here, the carriage with the Chamber of Commerce logo at the back would probably have to be lined up until the evening......

Did something big happen?

Su Wen, who had neither goods nor carriages, did not need to queue up obediently, he walked along the congested convoy to the city gate, and then saw the huge barricades that had just been set up at the city gate, and a large group of soldiers guarding the city of Tridis who strictly checked every carriage entering the city. Even among these soldiers, Su Wen saw several figures from the Sword of Judgment.

Sure enough, it was what happened. Thinking of what happened in the sewers not long ago, Su Wen felt that there was probably some kind of connection between the two - even he could easily meet the death mage in the sewers, although it was probably just an accident guided by the system, but if the officials of Tridis City didn't notice anything abnormal, then they would have ruled in this city for hundreds of years.

However, this is not necessarily good news for Su Wen.

"Please...... Please show proof of your identity. ”

A young soldier noticed Su Wen in front of the city gate, and he strode towards him with his sword held high, but when he approached him, he suddenly noticed something unusual - this was probably a magician he would never be able to provoke, so even the soldier's voice became a little trembling when he spoke.

Su Wen, who was observing in the distance, turned his head, and looked at the soldier coldly with his eyes hidden in the hood.

"Are you trying to stop me?"

Su Wen asked calmly.

But when the sound reached the soldier's ears, the soldier's hairs stood on end.

He hurriedly explained, "No...... In the past two days, there have been several cases of missing children in the city, so we have been ordered to strictly investigate the identities of those who have entered the city...... Please, please understand!"

"Oh, I have nothing to do with these cases, so can I go in?"

"Please show proof of your identity...... We—we need to be documented before we can let you into town!"

Well, the question goes back again.

Su Wen looked at this sweaty soldier who was intimidated by the elemental coercion, but at the same time abided by his duties, there was really nothing he could do about him, he couldn't do it, and he was not really a high-level magician.

However, just as Su Wen was thinking about how to deal with it, a calm female voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Let him in, as far as I know, no high-ranking magician has the habit of carrying identification with him. ”

Su Wen was extremely grateful for this pleasant voice of breaking the siege, but when he looked up, he found that it was actually a female knight wearing heavy and bright silver armor who spoke. The sword of judgment Su Wen held in this knight's hand was all too familiar, and that face full of a sense of justice had been seen countless times - she was one of the knights of the sword of judgment, such as a high-ranking knight, Goristan.

"Ahem......"

Su Wen admitted that he was a little panicked.

If he had any scruples about anyone in Trides, it would have been the female knight who had taken him to prison dozens of times.

However, he certainly did not forget who he is now.

"I think we've seen it before. ”

Su Wen looked at Gollistan quietly, and then spoke.

Yes, he wasn't wrong, he did come into contact with Gollistan in his current capacity, but that time it was a bit special.

When Goristan heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he suddenly smiled slightly, and the seriousness and composure on his face disappeared: "Yes...... Did you? I thought you had forgotten about that time. ”

There was a hint of shame in his words.

Su Wen nodded quietly, but his heart was made creepy by this smile, and he secretly "tsk".

He thought to himself, is it true that human beings are all animals that bully the weak and fear the hard? Even a high-ranking knight like Goristan is not exempt from vulgarity: when he sees a high-ranking magician, he smiles brightly, and when he meets Su Wen, who is not even as good as a magic apprentice, he puts on a fierce and vicious appearance, and threatens him with a sword around his neck at every turn-sure enough, he still looked down on this female knight who is not upright on the surface.

Of course, Golistan didn't know what Su Wen was talking about, she waved her hand away from the young soldier, and then asked the gray-robed mage in front of her with expectant eyes, "Mr. Tasuuri, this time you come to Tridis City, can you stay a little longer before leaving, I have something to ...... Well, I'd like to discuss with you. ”

Is it almost time to start set?

Su Wen didn't want to have too much contact with this terrible guy, so he shook his head decisively.

"I'm sorry, I'll leave when I'm done. ”

Finally, as he exited the gates and entered the city of Tridis, he was completely oblivious to the girlish look of Gloristan's lip-biting resentment.
