CHAPTER 3 NOYER
Sneak into
January-20 of the first year of the pioneering era
As he got closer to Noyer, the happy encounter also made Rudolph lower his flight altitude.
Unlike the loose rule of a city lord in the North, the kings and lords of the southern kingdoms are very territorial, and flying freely in their airspace is likely to be sanctioned.
Even though the worldly aristocracy does not have a high binding force on him, he doesn't want to cause a lot of trouble because of such a boring reason.
His reputation was already very bad among most of the nobles, and he would most likely encounter various obstacles when he tried to provoke him to do things here.
Xi Xiangyu rode the reindeer flying carpet from the land and entered the city according to the normal procedure, and when the guards checked on him, they didn't bother him because of the flying carpet.
"What is your identity, sir?"
"I'm a guy ahem. γ
He was going to say that he was a druid, but he suddenly thought that this natural profession was under various precautions because of the self-detonation druids in various places, so he forcibly changed his words.
"I'm the traveling scholar mage Faust, and I've come to NoyΓ¨re to study port culture, and you see it's proof that this is my traveling scholar. γ
Saying that, he showed the certificate issued by the traveling scholar organization - a special small medal to the guards, generally speaking, this will make people who have heard of this organization basically believe his identity, and those who have not heard of it will be bluffed.
Xi Xiangyu praised his wit in his heart, but suddenly felt that he had overlooked something important.
It can only be said that he has good consciousness, but due to the lack of common sense in the south, his operation has a fatal loophole.
"It turns out to be a well-known traveling scholar, can you please show me the arcane spell casting license and magic item use license issued by the Mage Association?"
γοΌοΌοΌγ
Do mages still need permission to cast spells and use magic items?
Xi Xiangyu suddenly didn't know how to respond, and as the guards looked at him more and more wrong, he hurriedly made an excuse for himself.
"I ......"
After hurriedly getting off the flying carpet, he took out his Charm Department graduation certificate from his dimensional bag.
"But I'll take the exam when I enter the city, and I'll use the graduation certificate of the spell department first, okay?"
"This ...... Don't embarrass me, it's not that you don't ...... Wait, the name on this diploma is not Faust, it's three unintelligible letters, isn't it? β
Then the guard announced solemnly and solemnly like the presiding judge who had struck down a wooden hammer.
"Even if you are a traveling scholar, you must not cast spells in this city unless you prove it, otherwise you will violate the laws of NoyΓ¨re. At that time, you will be expelled or your spellcasting license revoked...... No, you will be banned from taking the Mage Association exam for three years. Alright, let's go into town. β
As he spoke, the guard recorded the three words of happy encounter in the notebook of his watch, which made him uncomfortable, and noted the lingua franca name of Faust next to him, and then let him go.
Before leaving, I heard the former guard muttering in a whisper for no reason.
"The mage who is forbidden to cast spells is not a dish in the current Noyer. β
Without further effort at the guard, he found a random hotel in the city far from the port.
Resting in the hotel from noon to evening, he was really tired from the journey for nearly two months. When night came, he used his spell-like ability to cast invisibility, and at the same time cast the disguise of the druid's magic and sneaked into the underground waterways of Noyer.
Happy to meet is a good law-abiding citizen, but to be honest, this law of Noyer is not the same for him.
He had long mastered the way to magicize or supernatural abilities that belonged to mages, but neither of them was technically "spellcasting".
"Heh, I'm not trying to exploit loopholes in the law, but the law itself doesn't stipulate that quasi-spells and supernatural abilities cannot be used. γ
After squareizing his behavior, Happy Encounter expands the scope of this logic again.
"At the same time, the guards didn't say that mages can't use druids, right? That is, mages don't need a magic casting license to cast magic in Noyer. Well, it's reasonable, those who don't know are not guilty, and I didn't mean to. γ
While self-hypnotizing so that he could perfectly deceive the prophecy spell when he was interrogated by the East Window incident, he followed his memory and intuition and walked slowly through the sewers.
This is where he first appeared, the point of convergence between Earth and Corantia.
At the beginning, because only the body that was closely integrated with the soul could pass through, when the happy encounter appeared here, it was completely unexpected, and it took a long time to find a reluctant shelter in the garbage.
So it left him with a very bad memory, and if he could, he would like to blow it up completely...... However, thinking about the claims and revenge that followed, Xixiang had to give up this option.
"It's so spacious and tidy compared to four years ago, someone must be taking care of the sewers. γ
There is no need to guess who it is and why, who else but the third traverser who is still hard at work?
Xi Xiangyu was thinking about how to destroy this place without leaving a trace, so as to delay the time for the otherworldly forces to enter the development of Corantia, but suddenly felt the whispers of some people in the distance.
In order to avoid being spotted when he got closer, he cast a magic-like flying spell and flew straight over, and finally heard someone talking dozens of feet behind the corner of the voice.
"Have all the munitions from the north been delivered? I heard from the prophet that the dangerous man had entered the city at noon today, and it is estimated that he would sneak in in a few days tomorrow, and we must send the new equipment that he invented to his companions as soon as possible. β
This was a female voice that made Xi Xiangyu feel a little familiar, and the content of the conversation also reassured him, and he almost wanted to say directly, "Comrade, don't shoot, your own people." Bian walked over openly.
But he always felt that something was wrong, so he held back his temperament and continued to listen.
"Rest assured, the new batch of mecha are all let them wear with them, and the technicians have also made targeted adjustments and optimizations. No matter who comes, no matter how strong that dangerous element is, the current guerrilla team is invincible. β
"Then you go on patrol, and I'll go back and watch the surveillance. β
After saying that, both of them stopped talking, and the footsteps of one of them gradually approached the location where the happy meeting was.
At this time, the mood of the happy meeting is as difficult to describe in words when he went around outside on dog days and bought the only popsicle, only to find out that it is a special spicy popsicle from Mexico, and even the idea of leaving here quickly was left behind him.
If he hadn't wanted to get this place done quickly, and then take advantage of the characteristics of the port, Amway's company and products had just arrived in the sewers on the night they arrived, and it was estimated that he would have to face an army of mecha designed by himself tomorrow.
"(Am I considered an enemy?)"
He should have realized that this first stop after arriving from Earth was not something he could avoid without provoking anyone, and two years as a scientist had made him desensitized in this regard.
"(Call Antinomi tomorrow and ask him if he has any plans.) οΌγ
"Somebody there!"
was planning for tomorrow's plan, but the happy encounter that was invisible was directly discovered by the man in the tan mecha who came from around the corner.
The man kicked backwards, and quickly came directly to the happy encounter.
"A mecha equipped with an anti-stealth function?I'm sorry, I don't even want to fight with a kitchen knife on equal terms, you have the upper hand......
Before he could finish speaking, the man had already punched the happy encounter in the abdomen and smashed it against the wall.
"I don't even know if I'm still here talking nonsense, I see you...... What! That was an illusion?"
The man was about to taunt, but the figure of the happy meeting burst like a balloon full of dust. He looked around, and he couldn't catch the young man on the mecha's eyepiece.
"Adeline, just now I saw a young man who is proficient in illusion, and although he has escaped now, I am afraid that he has just heard the words of the two of us. β
"And he seems to know a lot about mechas, probably the dangerous one from the Northlands. β
The man used the telecommunication function on the mech to contact Adeline, who had just left, and was about to ask her to arrange for manpower to strengthen her precautions from tonight, but Adeline's tone of voice seemed to be anxious for some reason.
"A young man who is proficient in illusion and familiar with mechas...... Monet, hurry back to the stronghold now, I'll pick you up!"
Adeline, who had been transferred from the headquarters of the Northland Guerrilla Society, was about to return to the surveillance office when she heard her colleague Monet hear from her unsettling features of the infiltrator. So subconsciously remembered the person Lake and the person he said, and hurriedly replied and turned back to the place where they broke up just now.
Less than half a minute later, she was in the place where the battle had taken place, but it was empty.
