After spending some time in the Port West Central Library, Ciri comes into contact with a wide variety of characters. Before the battle between the churches in the New World had settled, the most powerful administrators here were the aristocracy. The aristocracy does not provoke any church, and the church consciously obeys the rules set by the nobility.

The aristocracy is most famous, in addition to their love of power and wealth, which is their never-ending balls. As the director of the central library, although he was not very old, and did not have a lot of wealth and power, Ciri still relied on his wisdom and prestige among the people and traveling scholars, and became the most popular guest of honor at various aristocratic balls.

Originally, he didn't like the noisy environment of balls, but attending various balls would undoubtedly greatly expand his access to information, and at the same time make it easier to find some local mages, so Ciri has always patiently accepted the invitations of various nobles.

At the ball, Ciri behaved less like a young man his age and more like a taciturn elder. He had never agreed to an invitation from the noble ladies to dance at so many balls, and he rarely took the initiative to raise any topics. But anyone can easily answer any question Ciri has, and she has her own unique ideas for each kind of question.

Therefore, Xirui's reputation has not only not been reduced because of his taciturn and poor communication, but because of his knowledge of the past and the present, his wisdom is superhuman, although he is not good at words, he is praised as "the wise man of golden words" by a large number of nobles in the New World, and it has slowly spread.

There is no hierarchy in the traveling scholars themselves, they are more like a group of like-minded partners. However, after all, there are low abilities among scholars, and those with higher ability will be respected by a large number of peers and be honored as bachelors. After the more capable traveling scholars are widely recognized by the outside world, they will be called "wise men". Because Ciri himself rarely takes the initiative to communicate with people, but every time he speaks, the listener will suddenly feel a lot of feelings, and everyone adds the word "golden words" in front of the "wise man" to indicate that every word he says is a valuable asset.

As more and more people come into contact, Ciri also learns more and more about the Wasco continent. Because it was still in the development stage and less influenced by the church, many nobles were not as well-behaved as the nobility of a single-church parish.

Many of the nobles had been exposed to some knowledge of magic. Many churches are also aware of this situation, and are accustomed to it, and before determining which church of gods the New World belongs to, as long as things don't go too far, the church often chooses to turn a blind eye to those nobles who try the forbidden realm. Of course, if an orthodox mage is discovered, the church will never tolerate it.

After using a large number of magic items to supervise many nobles who have been involved in magic, Ciri finally finds the person she is looking for--- a native mage who hides his identity.

A large number of magic-related items, some of which are genuine, were passed down from the hands of an ordinary merchant named Asaph. Of course, Asaph was very careful in his work, and even if he traded, he would not go in person, and no one had seen him in person. So I know that no one suspects that Arthur, an ordinary businessman, will have something to do with the legendary evil mage.

However, no matter how careful Asaph was, he couldn't hide the academic mage Ciri from the wizarding world, and after trying his tricks, he traced down Asap's identity step by step and pointed out the other party's mage. Ciri didn't meet Asaph, and he didn't want to stop the clues he had so hard to find.

The native mages of the Divine Grace Realm should also have some means of hiding their identities so that they can live in human society without being discovered by the church. They generally don't have a large-scale organization like the academic mages of the Colin plane, but they also need to communicate, so they will form some secret communication stations hidden in the shadows to facilitate communication. Ciri had been secretly staring at Asaph, wanting to infiltrate the New World mage's exchange with him, so that he would not be suspicious of his identity as a mage when he was honest with others.

After waiting for more than ten days, Asaph finally found an excuse to leave Port West, and then walked into the deserted wilderness and into the dense forest. The New World is sparsely populated and full of woods, often without a name, and the woods that Asaph entered are endless.

The spell that Ciri casts on himself with the [Fortress] is a high-level shadow spell that has been improved layer by layer, and the name is [Voidwalker]. [Voidwalker] can not only hide the shape, breath, sound, etc. of the target, but also make the target nihilistic, and Ciri can pass through various entities and some low-level magical defenses unhindered during the spell.

Even if the [Void Walker] is used in the magic world, it is difficult to be discovered, and in a place like the Divine Grace Realm, unless the individual is extremely strong, there is no way to detect him. The Fortress also played an important role in this operation, as the Void Walker was a spell that could only be cast by Demon Soul Mages, and the Hidden Potion was ineffective against Demon Soul Mages. The mages involved in the undercover mission this time are probably not as safe and unscrupulous as Ciri.

Ciri followed Asaph for three days before reaching the destination--- a small mountain range. Asaph walked to a spot at the foot of the mountain and began to recite some spell codes, and Ciri, not afraid that he would find him, stood next to Asaph and recorded them in full. After the whisper ended, a straight passage appeared in the mountain, and at intervals on either side of the passage were placed magic lamps for illumination.

The two entered the mountain passage one after the other, and the exit was consumed directly after they entered. Upon entering the passage, Ciri felt a slight energy that performed some detection on Asaph, and then quickly disappeared, and this verification did not detect Ciri in the [Voidwalker] state at all.

The passage was relatively long, and the two walked for a while before reaching the end. Walking out of the passageway, a small city-like area appeared in front of Ciri's eyes. There were a number of mages talking and trading here, all wearing a kind of black robe, wearing masks to hide their faces, hiding their identities. Even the shopkeepers in the shops on both sides of the street were dressed like this, looking very cautious.

Out of caution, Ciri followed Asaph around for a while, and found that there was no other way to identify it, so he found a secluded place, transformed the Star Flower Robe into the style of the others, made a mask similar to Asaph's, and blended into the crowd.

Although it is troublesome to build such a secret exchange station in the middle of the mountain, such a place where magic technology is backward in the Divine Grace Realm, it is indeed relatively safe. Ciri took a few turns and found that due to the abnormal proportion of the elements and the suppression of the gods and churches, the overall level of the local magic skills of the charity realm was not even comparable to the dark period of the Colin plane, of course, due to the different development directions, the magic skills of the charismatic realm also had some unique features.

After a brief look at the place, Ciri immediately headed straight for more information---
