Chapter 86
The primeval forest is huge, and the further you go to the edge, the wider the path becomes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The druids would probably be heartbroken by the sight of the trail of felling on the side of the road, but Ray was only relieved.
Because it means that he is about to get out of this vast and endless forest and return to human society!
But as the so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, they felt that they had reached the edge of the forest in the morning, but it was not until the sun set that they really stepped out of the forest and saw a town built next to the forest.
It was a small town, surrounded by high walls. Located in the middle of the town, there is a very conspicuous building that is like a landmark. It rises from the ground and towers, more than twice as tall as other buildings, like a tall giant, standing in the crowd and looking down on the common people.
It was the Magic Tower, the residence of the High Spellcasters, their fortress, their library, their research center, their legacy, and their final burial place.
"Whew! I'm finally out of the forest!" Seeing this towering magic tower, Lei couldn't help but let out a long breath and said with a smile, "The characteristics of the city of the Mystic Tower Federation are very distinct, and every town is built around the magic tower, so as long as you see the magic tower, you will know that the town has arrived, and it is clear at a glance." โ
"This kind of town construction should be a good choice. Sui Xiong said, "The magic tower is inhabited by high-ranking spellcasters, who are able to provide shelter to the citizens. And the presence of the citizens also makes the town prosperous, so that the casters can have better living conditions, which is conducive to them to devote themselves to research in a better mental state. โ
"That's true, so even though the Mystic Tower Federation has only been founded for less than a thousand years, it has already become the center of the entire main plane's spell research. While many of the seniors despised their philistine lifestyle in the tradition that mages should stay away from the world, the younger generation has long regarded this place as a sacred place for spellcasters, and many people flock to it every year for the opportunity to step into the advanced realm of spells and become mysterious and powerful spellcasters. โ
"Have you been here back then?" asked Sui Xiong.
Ray was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"So, will anyone here know you?" Sui Xiong asked again.
"Probably not. Ray whispered, "...... After that, they will probably be implicated as well. It would be nice to be able to save my life - it would be nice not to recognize me, actually. โ
"Rest assured, no one will recognize you. Don't forget, your appearance has completely changed. โ
Ray nodded and smiled, but his expression was still a little melancholy.
Whenever he remembered some distant past, he would be so melancholy for a long time.
And whenever he was so melancholy, Steele would look at him and admire. According to her: "Although he can see and eat, he is so handsome when he is so melancholy! There is no usual feeling of idleness and desolation, but full of noble temperament, really like His Royal Highness the prince in a knight's novelโoh, as if he is indeed a prince, although he seems to have been deprived of the right to inherit......"
The end of saying this was that she was beaten by the angry thunder who picked up firewood. Although he usually doesn't hit women, some topics are Lei's backlash, and if he dares to offend, he will be merciless.
The pink piglet flapped its wings and flew around next to Ray, admiring the rare beauty of the "Melancholy Prince" from all angles. Sui Xiong felt that if Steele had lived on Earth, he would have taken out his phone and snapped some photos in one go.
Naturally, there were guards at the gate of the town, and these guards wore bright full-body armor, wore long swords, and carried long halberds, all of them were tall and energetic, and they knew that they were elite at a glance. The clerk who led the team was very responsible, first welcoming them to Greentree City, and then carefully inquiring about Ray's origin and registering him.
"Does everyone have to register when they enter the city?" Sui Xiong asked curiously, "Wouldn't this be a waste of time?"
The clerk, who was about forty years old, pushed the round glasses that were on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Of course not everyone has to register, in fact, I remember that all the residents of this Green Tree City only need to register if they meet someone I don't know and who is in good strength." โ
"You have a good eye!" Sui Xiong said happily, "Many people will judge people by their appearance, but you can't, no wonder you can be entrusted with important tasks!"
"Yes, planktonic jellyfish and flying pigs, those who can have such two magic pets will definitely not be ordinary people!"
If it weren't for Ray's grabbing Sui Xiong with his left hand and Steele with his right hand, and dragging them away, perhaps this clerk with an excellent memory would have been knocked to the ground, and there would have been a few more pig's hoof prints on his face.
"What is a demon pet!" Until he settled down in the hotel, Sui Xiong was still indignant, "This guy is completely blind! I am so powerful and mighty, he actually treats me as a low-level thing like a demon pet!"
(yes!yes!
It was hard for Ray to hold back the laughter that almost came out of his mouth while comforting the two of them.
Fortunately, these two people don't have long memories, and their anger comes and goes quickly - from this point of view, in fact, Sui Xiong and Steele are quite compatible in personality, although the values are very different - after a while, Sui Xiong is already urging Lei to hurry up and go out and taste the special food of the Mage Country, and Steele also said that he wants to see if there are any interesting specialties here, and wants to buy some fun.
They are not rich, but they are definitely not poor. As a top adventurer who is only one step away from the legendary realm, and a lone thief, Ray's net worth is extremely rich. Although he used up most of his property in order to obtain the crystal containing the divine power of life, the only remaining ones were enough for an ordinary person to live a prosperous life and be stable and prosperous for decades.
And in their adventures during this time, the wealth harvested is not small. Even if you don't take into account the evil dragons that take the lion's share, just some powerful magical beasts hunted on the road are already an amazing fortune.
Not to mention anything else, according to the research of Wendy, the slime alchemist has determined that the venomous snake that has lived for at least four hundred and fifty years, and is likely to be close to five hundred years, can be worth a lot of money. At first glance, this may seem like nothing - the dragon "Cruel Burner" Utherskred has been wreaking havoc on the human world for more than a thousand years - but when you consider its race, the number is terrifying.
Wendy has studied it carefully, that snake is indeed just a very ordinary species, under normal circumstances, living thirty years old is considered a long life, and if you live to fifty years old, you can be described as a snake among snakes, but this guy lived ten fifty years old. In terms of human comparison, the average life expectancy is more than 50 years, and among the humans who can reach the age of eighty or ninety, an old monster has jumped out of the human beings who have lived for nearly a thousand years!
The protection of human rights in this world is far inferior to that of the earth, and if a thousand-year-old Rui appears, it is likely that he will inevitably be sliced and studied, just like the fate of the giant snake.
How much is such a precious piece of research material worth? Perhaps in Wendy's opinion, it is just a good research subject, and it is suitable for passing the boring time of being alone in the magic tower, maybe in Steele's opinion, the treasure that can prolong the life of the rich and nobles is simply priceless, or maybe in Ray's opinion, this kind of thing that allows old things that exude rotten breath from their bones to live for a few more years is worthless, and should be just smashed...... But it is undeniably a precious treasure.
And similar things, in their trek during this time, they have gained a lot!
So when they go shopping, their waist bags are very bulging, and their confidence is very full.
The group went to the hotel first, but when they wanted to go to the most upscale hotel in Green Tree City, they were stopped at the door, and the bodyguard who guarded the door said that the restaurant only accepts guests in formal attire and that pets are not allowed.
"What if it's a noble mage?" Ray asked, not believing that in this city of mages, spellcasters would not have the slightest preferential treatment.
"Even spellcasters, put on mage robes, put the pet in a special space bag, or cancel the summoning temporarily. It's the rule. The tall and handsome bodyguard, who looked more like a fashion model than a doorman, said without hesitation, "The rules have never been changed over the years!"
It can be seen that he is very confident.
Ray frowned, experience had told him that the backer behind this hotel was very strong, and the water in it was very deep. Considering that there is no need to cause trouble, leaving directly is the right choice.
However, Sui Xiong didn't want to leave like this, and wanted to try to negotiate: "Why do you think I look like a pet? There are no pets here." We're just adventurers of different races. โ
"Lower creatures are not allowed to enter. The handsome bodyguard didn't mean to be accommodating at all, but his tone became scathing, "But...... But you may come in. A talking jellyfish and a flying pig should be made into jellyfish salad and roast pig, which should be a specialty. โ
"We don't want to mess with it. Ray sighed, and he felt that a big fight was inevitable.
"How can it be a troublemaker...... Let's put an offer, this jellyfish and this pig are good, and it is indeed a good idea to buy them and make them into vegetables. The handsome bodyguard smiled more and more meanly, but his eyes became colder and colder.
It seems that no matter what Sui Xiong chooses, this guy seems to want to fight.
However, Sui Xiong didn't make a move, he just sneered: "Formal attire, right? No pets, right?"
With a wave of his tentacle, a blue light enveloped Ray and Steele, and by the time the light had dissipated, the down-and-out adventurers and flying pigs had turned into handsome men and women in gorgeous dresses.
Then, Sui Xiong transformed himself into a super big man with a height of eight feet and a waist circumference, and although he wore a dress gorgeous enough to blind people, it was ugly enough to give people nightmares.
"In that case, we meet the requirements, right?" said the giant man who didn't know if he was a human being, although he was asking, but there was no hint of inquiry in his tone, but he was looking for fault ten out of ten.
With kindness to kindness, malice to malice, Brother Xiong has never been a coward who will swallow his anger after being bullied!
