Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Keeping himself invisible with his vaporization technique, Link walked around the outskirts of the treant forest a few times before choosing the most traveler from the several groups of Vaolet who arrived on foot. Everyone's attention was attracted by the images of the city and the noise in front of him, and he appeared quietly, and no one noticed that there was an unknown companion around him.
In order to disguise it more likely, Link also deliberately reduced the perception to a minimum. In the makeshift market area, he unexpectedly meets Orlando and the various intelligence spies who are following and monitoring his every move.
How could these intelligence spies belonging to different organizations and territories get so close?
Link knew that there were people secretly spying on the union, but he never enjoyed the 'close-to-the-eye' treatment of Orlando in the few times he went in and out. However, this also indirectly proves that the birth of the Child of Nature has been taken seriously enough, and he has decided to carry out the plan that has been prepared for a long time, and it is time to 'hit the road'.
"Melville!"
Orlando, who has the most acting skills, showed a 'surprise' expression, trotted over quickly, and warmly hugged Link, who had a blank expression.
"I thought you died in the underpass. In order to reduce the uncertainty, Link decided to complete the plot of the Ranger's arrival in Vaolet alone.
Orlando looked up and down and said, "It's time for you to change your clothes." ”
Not knowing what he was alluding to, Link tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth and replied in a hoarse voice that belonged to a ranger: "The most common style, there are at least dozens of people here who wear the same as me." ”
"No, I mean you should take a shower and change into clean clothes, and know what you look like now?" Orlando pinched his nose, "Rotten leaves! How long has it been since you cleaned yourself?"
Link, who realized it later, stiffened his whole body.
Fifteen days, or more? Edgar is not as convenient as Earth. Bathing is very inconvenient, and the average person only washes it once every five to a week, needless to say if the conditions are poor, plus it is dangerous in the wild now, and it is the norm not to wash once a month. He lay in bed for ten days, and when he woke up, he was busy. I really didn't have the time to take care of myself.
The column only changes the physique, not the sweat and body odor naturally secreted by the creature. Even though he has changed into another person's appearance, there is still a heavy smell of sweat on his body, counting the people he has come into contact with after waking up, skipping Elsie and the dwarf, as a nobleman, Servis actually did not show the slightest unnaturalness when he approached, should he praise his patience is good......
Orlando's words reminded Link, though, that taking a shower was a great cover-up.
"Is there an inn here?"
Now it was Orlando's turn to be stunned. I'm just looking for a random topic, is Link really planning to take a shower at this time?
"Yes, yes, but the price is a little ridiculously expensive, are you willing to do it?"
This sentence is a reminder to Link that the real Melville is a ranger who is very stingy with himself, and he is not willing to pay many times the price to stay in a hotel.
"I'm the one who almost went to see the Grim Reaper, can't I treat myself?"
Seeing Link's insistence, Orlando had to lead him through the crowded market. Come to the open space near the edge of the Escalation. There are several makeshift wooden huts dedicated to entertaining business travelers who are willing to pay a fortune to stay. There are no shopkeepers. It was guarded only by a few sturdy mercenaries.
Orlando explained that these people were all Elsie's men, and that the few wooden huts with only roofs and walls were the work of the city's nobles, who wanted to make a fortune, and experienced the bumps and fatigue along the way, escaping the death threats of the undead and wild beasts, and some were unwilling to continue the scene. No matter how humble it is, they are willing to pay for it.
Twenty silver coins were exchanged for a simple room without any decoration, with no windows, no tables or chairs, only wet hay and a dirty mat on the floor, and two barrels, one large and one small, in the corner. The big one is a bathtub, the small one is a commode, and the room is filled with the smell of earth.
"You have to pay extra for hot water, right?" Link moved the bathtub out of the corner, it was barely enough for a person to squat, and it would be uncomfortable to take a bath.
"Of course. Even though the door was closed and there were only two people in the room, Orlando didn't let her guard down. The wooden houses are ventilated in all directions, and there is no sound insulation effect at all, as long as the wooden planks are attached to the inside, you can hear the people in the house.
"My friend, can you please help me buy me two new clothes that fit?" Link smiled and handed over a gold coin, according to Edgar's current prices, let alone two, it would be enough to buy twenty sets.
Orlando looked at the gold coin in his hand, and then at Link. Is he trying to tear me apart? Or is he really just washing my body?
Taking advantage of the opportunity to fetch water from the well, Link took the opportunity to count the spies wandering around, and in addition to the three who left Orlando, there were still three who remained.
By the time the bewildered half-elf returned with the clothes he had bought from the merchant, Link was almost finished.
Even a god with divine powers can't play two roles at the same time, and Orlando has a hunch, and in the following time, Link will focus on playing Melville.
"What are your plans?"
"The Child of Nature has been in Vaolet long enough. ”
Really...... Orlando's speculation was confirmed, "You don't seem to be going to inform Count Senior?"
"That guy has more spies around than you, and letting him know is equivalent to the entire Big 6 knowing. That's why Link told Servis that he wouldn't leave for the time being, in order to paralyze the spies around the city lord. As for Yoda and Elsie, who know the truth, he plans to revise their memories when he leaves Vaolet as 'Melville'.
"Do me a favor, figure out how to make the water sound and pretend I'm still in the shower. Link put on his clean clothes, vaporized them, and squeezed them out of the gaps between the planks. Walking around the wooden house, the spies lurking around were probably afraid of being discovered, and they were all separated by a distance, only listening to the sound of water coming from the house, and no one would have thought that there was only one person inside.
Gotta quickly distract these guys so they can't do anything along the way.
With that in mind, back in the union, Yoda's conversation with Bridge continues.
Seeing Link return, Bridge informs him that he has planned a place to sell the magic items. The first was at Wollette, then moved west to the city of Connor, Befast, near the ruins of Dragonrock Castle and the most populous area of Befast Territory.
Link frowned subconsciously, he didn't want to make any changes, "Can't you change places?"
"I want the world to know that there is a craftsman in the guild who makes items that are no worse than the mage, if not better. Bridge plans to send a message to the nobles, mages, and other guilds to invite them to the auction, "If you go elsewhere, the arrogant mages may not be willing to bow down, and Vaolet is just below Hohenheim, and they must also want to see the magic items made by the children of nature." ”
Knowing the president's intentions, Link didn't want to stop him, and he told his plan.
Yoda was shocked, he said just now that he wouldn't leave, why did he change his mind immediately?
Bridget didn't show any surprise, "Just the children of nature leaving?"
Nodding, Lin Ke indicated that he would fly away in the form of a wind falcon and then return incognito, creating the illusion that the Child of Nature had left Vaolet. After that, the propaganda of the trade union is needed, and the magic items made in advance are sold in batches in different regions to confuse the world and confuse the intelligence organization.
Not knowing what to expect in Kronberg, Link wanted to be well prepared and wait for enough magic items to be made before hitting the road.
"In that case, the union will have to start preparing......" Bricht pondered for a moment as he instructed Yoda to open a temporary registration point in the market district, as the ranger disguised by the Children of Nature had not been granted permission to enter the inner city. And, with the addition of Nature's Children and the holding of the auction, the once-forgotten union will return to the public eye, and it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to show its face.
So, accompanied by Yoda, Link went out of the city in a grand manner and transformed into a wind falcon in public. In order to attract more people's attention, Link specially enlarged his body size several times. The whirlwind of blue feathers and incendiary wings soon became the focus of everyone's attention.
"What then?"
"Magical creatures?"
"It's a wind falcon!"
"I haven't seen these creatures in years......"
The crowd of onlookers was amazed and some sighed.
"It's people who change, I saw with my own eyes, a young man, instantly turned into a big bird!"
"That must be a child of nature, I heard he's been in Wolet lately. ”
People were talking about it, and the intelligence spies next to the wooden house were all led away by a scene near the city gate, and when they saw the giant wind falcon flapping its wings and flying away, the spies who knew that they couldn't catch up had to find a secluded place and use the communication stone they carried with them to report that the child of nature had left Vaolet and flew away west. 】
Link didn't fly far, he flew up to the clouds, made sure no one was following him, and vaporized and turned back to Vaolet.
Inside the cabin, Orlando had stopped stirring the bathtub, and the noisy chatter outside had completely drowned out the sound of the water he had made, and it was no longer necessary to continue.
Curiously, I pulled a crack in the door, and I saw many people running in the direction of the city gate. Feeling a familiar aura behind him, he asked without looking back, "What have you done?"
"A mere falcon can attract so many onlookers. After the invasion of the undead, the magical creatures also disappeared?" Although it was Link's goal to attract attention, he still didn't expect such a sensational effect.
"Since the pillar closed the guarded place, the magical creatures seem to have disappeared overnight, as if the sleeping pillar was dormant together, and there were only mutated beasts in the wilderness mountains and forests. Orlando sighed, and when he turned around, he saw Link take out the wooden bow that had failed to make zuò yesterday from the dimensional pouch on his waist. Huh? What is this going to do?
"The Adventurers' Union has opened a registration point in the market area, and we're going to see if there's any commission. (To be continued!)
