Chapter Seventy-Seven: Regained

It's not easy to disguise your identity. Maybe this is quite simple for Cheese, after all, his body is relatively much thinner, and except for a very few forces who have been in contact with the Gray Tower, most people don't actually have much idea about the gray robe of the mage. Therefore, whether Cheese is pretending to be a scholar or a businessman, he can't see the problem, and the problem lies with the three people of the Frost Guard. Cheese also consulted with the knights of the Kingdom Knights, and the upright knights told the mage that the characteristics of the Northlanders were very obvious to those of them outside the North, and that it was impossible to make Elsa's appearance difficult for others to recognize.

In desperation, Cheese could only use local materials to concoct a potion that was said to change the color of his complexion, and he accidentally learned the formula from An Lina, but for Cheese at that time, he couldn't understand why Senior Sister wanted to treasure this potion that consumes a lot of materials. For spellcasters who really need to change their appearance, whether it is Transfiguration or tricks that can give illusions, it is much more practical than this potion. But now, given that the mage couldn't cast spells on the other three without stopping twenty-four hours a day, this potion played an important role.

"How do you feel?" asked Cheese as he looked at the three people in front of him whose faces were about one-fifth darker than normal.

"It's not as scary as it seems. Jack said, pointing to the black ointment that was still half there. At first, when he heard Cheese ask them to smear something suspicious on him, he wouldn't live or die. It was only after the mage repeatedly assured him that it was harmless to the human body that he reluctantly tried to use it.

"I didn't feel the itching of the skin you were talking about, so it doesn't look like we're averse to it?" Elsa said.

The Master had mentioned that the ingredients in this ointment would cause discomfort to some people's skin, so he asked the three of them to try to apply a little to a small area of skin first, and then let them apply it to a large area after confirming that there were no side effects. That being said, Potion Cheese still didn't dare to pack a ticket 100% with this kind of potion cheese that had no experience in using it, so he asked everyone to report back to him after applying it all.

"That's good. The ointment can be made in different colors depending on the proportion, but I try to match the skin tones of the knights. The mage said. At the same time, he carefully observed the three of them to see if their skin color had changed as he thought.

"Wait, you said this ointment can be mixed in different colors?" asked the proprietress when she heard the cheese's words.

"yes, that's one of the few good things about this thing. Even though I don't think it's really valuable, you know, I worked all afternoon to get this ointment, and it's a lot of work to make. The mage complained.

Elsa and Mona glanced at each other, and although Cheese and Jack, who were men, did not think that this ointment was of any value, as women, this potion that could affect skin color and had no side effects was simply unimaginable. You know, in this era, the concept of cosmetics is still just an extremely hazy and abstract thing, although most intelligent creatures have a love for beauty, but in this world where the proportion of survival is greater than life, even human beings with the most vast territory do not have the heart to put valuable research resources on these insignificant things.

But no development does not mean that there is no demand, although a naturally beautiful race like elves basically does not need cosmetics, but for other intelligent creatures, especially human society with a large number of aristocratic classes, those noble ladies are willing to do whatever it takes to be beautiful. You know, those aristocratic women will even apply mercury powder, commonly known as mercury, to their faces before the ball to enhance their skin tone, and the toxicity of mercury can cause irreparable damage to the human body, but even so, they do not hesitate. It can be seen that if the ointment that is used as waste by cheese enters human society, it is afraid that the entire kingdom will fall into madness. At that moment, Elsa and the others briefly explained to Cheese the value of his ointment in the eyes of others. It was also suggested that the mage disguise himself as a merchant and enter the royal capital under the guise of selling these ointments.

"I can assure you that if any of the guards dare to let us into the city, he will be trampled into mud by the ladies and ladies of the entire kingdom. "That's what the proprietress said to the mage.

It's just that as a mage, Cheese is not short of ways to make money, and this time he entered the royal capital to keep a low profile, if these ointments are sold as commodities, he may be able to get considerable profits, but there must be many troubles attracted by this profit. Therefore, although Elsa and the others repeatedly emphasized the value of this ointment, Cheese decided to disguise themselves as mercenaries and enter the kingdom of the blue lion.

Speaking of the profession of mercenary, it can be said that it has not been cut off since human beings entered civilized society, whether it is a peaceful era or an era of war, whether the reigning emperor is wise or mediocre, mercenary as an indispensable part of this world has never changed. And although it seems that mercenaries are a profession, in fact, according to the different professional commissions received, the differences between different types of mercenaries are not small than the differences between any professions. Because of this, the people in the mercenary industry are all-encompassing, and their scope of work ranges from roosters and dogs to saving a certain country, which makes the identity of a mercenary very convenient, and with such an identity, it will not be strange whether they are involved in that kind of incident. That's the main reason why Cheese chose to do it.

At the same time, the mage also promised to make some ointments of the specific color for Elsa and Mona in his spare time, as a little reward for the two of them. After solving the problem of appearance and finalizing the identity of the disguise, several people will separate themselves to prepare their own bags, and wait until tomorrow morning to officially enter the kingdom. After Jack and Mona got up and left, Cheese watched as the proprietress asked a question he had been wanting to ask.

"Speaking of which, Commander Jon's instructions to you should be to protect me from the plague in the county. Now that your mission has theoretically been accomplished, why do they follow me to take such a big risk to go to the royal capital?"

The proprietress smiled and said.

"It's a good thing you didn't ask them this question in person, otherwise with their character, they might really have said goodbye and returned to Longji Mountain. But don't think they don't realize it, Mona they just didn't break it. ”

"Why?" asked Cheese, who thought that since the Frost Guardians' mission was accomplished, they should return to the Legion as well.

"You, didn't you just say that? The reason why they want to continue to follow you is very simple, as a legionnaire, you can't leave Longji Mountain until the expiration of your service, and even if your service expires, you don't know how much trouble you will encounter if you want to go all the way from the north to the king. Rather than that, it is better to follow your hitchhike now, so that on the one hand, it can be reasonable with Grandpa Jon's side, and on the other hand, it can really protect your safety. Do you understand?" the proprietress finished speaking and left with brisk steps. It was evident that she was in a good mood, not knowing if it was because of the cheese's ointment or because she was looking forward to the bigger journey that was about to begin.

It seems that the three of them have been infected, and the mage also feels that the prospects of this plague are not so pessimistic. While little is known about his opponent, Cheese, this does not prevent the Mage from feeling confident in his own abilities and those of his teammates. After the journey of the entire county of Salon, Cheese looked out the window and regained his original state when he first arrived at Dragonspine Mountain. And this time, he doesn't have to go on the road alone, does he?
