Ansest suddenly raised his head and looked at Xavier, "Don't think how much I help you!" I'm only responsible for keeping you safe, and as long as you don't die, don't think too hard about anything else. Anyway, the boss must have thought so! ”

Xavier didn't care about his contempt, and nodded with a smile, "Of course, I'll naturally protect myself. ”

In fact, Xavier didn't really want to bring Ansest as a manpower backup. While it's obvious that one more person is obviously safer, there's a lot of secrets in you, and if this guy discovers the secret of the "anchor point", there may be more trouble.

However... Xavier sighed inwardly. As a wanderer who was only a first-level wanderer, he had not yet been able to achieve the elusive posture of his previous life for the time being.

Only when you get the "dexterous move" at level 2 can the loitering maneuver improve slightly. Now, even the most basic sneak attack damage requires an allied character to melee with the enemy.

Luckily, the dark elf bartender didn't seem very smart, and even fooled around: he left his ability to use the bayonet to his "pre-amnesia" self. Anyway, this is not "The Forgotten Realm", and the acquisition of weapon proficiency is not so strict.

Moreover, the recovery of the anchor is not so quick to achieve. Don't give up a big favor for the slightest possible exposure, or even push yourself into danger - who knows how many of those possible attackers will be?

"Hmph, it's kind of acquaintance. Then it's up to Lord Ansest to protect you, poor little mage of the first rank! The bartender pretended to be stunned, and bent down to draw two daggers from under the bar, pinning them to his waist, one to the left and the other to the right. Then he took out a longbow and a barrel of arrows, and carried them on his back.

I have to say that this is also the reason why Xavier finally decided to find Ansest as a helper - not because of anything else, but because he is ostensibly a "first-level mage", but he doesn't look for a battle teammate when he knows that there is a battle... The matter itself is suspicious.

Seeing Ansest carrying his weapon and preparing to swagger out, Xavier was silent for a few seconds and stopped him.

"What, you're going to repent? Don't need me to go out with me? As if expecting something, Ansest immediately looked back at him.

Xavier also looked at Ansest, and he reached out and pointed at his face, and then at the other. "No, I just think...... A drow swaggering down the street, isn't it too conspicuous. ”

During the time he was immersed in copying books, Xavier asked Ernaux about the basics of the world. One of the things is that the Dark Elves, or Drow, are similar to the setting in The Forgotten Realm. They are equally afraid of the sun, equally wicked, and, equally... Discrimination.

If the other party walks out like this with gray-black skin, and looks not afraid of the sun at all. Xavier, then, was almost certain that it wasn't just the unknown assailants who would catch up with him, but even the local guards would join in the fun—which was completely out of his mind.

He just wanted to go out for a spin and catch the attackers. Then find a secluded path and tackle them with the bartender.

"Oooh... This, too, is oh. The dark elf bartender turned around and walked briskly up the stairs.

First, I went to the second floor.

Then climb three floors.

Xavier stood on the floor of the hall on the first floor, looking up at him as he walked up the stairs, watching him stop in front of a room, watching him push straight in without knocking on the door.

It was the room of the male elf with the eyes sewn, "Le". Considering the identity of the other party's butler, Ansest's intention was obvious: he went to the butler to ask for something.

Sure enough, when Ansest came out of the room again, he was already holding a tweed beret in his hand. He made a quick descending of the stairs in a step-by-step, two-step, three-step, and put the floppy hat on his head.

Eventually, when Ansest stepped onto the floor of the first floor again, he was no longer a dark elf, but a thin, ordinary-looking human man.

The Disguise Hat, a non-common level magic item. The effect is that "Transfiguration" can be cast at will, and the effect lasts until the hat is removed.

Very useful magic item. Although the transfiguration itself is only a part of the illusion system. It is almost just a touch away to discover the essence of the disguise. But when dealing with enemies who don't have magic, wearing such a hat can almost easily shake off the opponent.

Such an item, Xavier naturally has a copy of the Ring of Everything on his index finger. Although the version in his hand is a light woolen hat.

Thinking of this, Xavier turned around and pulled out the crumpled beanie hat from the Ring of All Things and stuffed it into the pocket of his wide robe.

"Aha, I asked the old guy for something." The ordinary-looking, skinny human man gave a smirk that revealed his true nature as Ansest. He swaggered to the door again with the two short swords on his side, "Let's go, go out early and return early." I'm going to buy cookies from the shop in front of the street. ”

"—Also, don't use the measure word 'one' when describing Zhuoer!" He protested again.

Xavier didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement. Then, with his slender wand in his hand, he stepped out of the door in a mage-like manner.

There was still a slight distortion in front of him. When the view stabilized, the surrounding area was already a bustling market street.

Looking at the passers-by, Xavier pondered the identity of the so-called "attacker" as he headed towards his destination. Secretly vigilant, he placed the anchor in the most convenient position and looked around.

Straight down the most secluded alley here? This is obviously not a no-go. Regardless of the obvious obviousness, it almost means "The stalker is here and me!" Such intentions are on the face. Even if the other party is really stupid enough to not even see such a basic temptation, then you have to consider whether you can beat it.

After all, the number of enemies is unknown, and the only ones on your side are their own crappy mages and Ansest. Unless Ansest is so strong as a trickster that he can solve everyone by himself - and that's obviously impossible. In the games of the previous life, the loiterer was almost a sewer profession. Even the best magicians are not good at one-to-many.

Well, it's up to you to do what you do best as a wanderer – not by picking locks.

Xavier raised his hand and patted Ansest, "Stupid question, how confident are you in concealment?" ”

The dark elf bartender was holding a piece of pastry that he had bought from the vendor at some unknown time, stuffing his mouth and chewing it. He replied inarticulately: "The fried chicken is a great pinch!" ”

“… Very good. Xavier ignored the strange tone of voice, lowered his voice, and said something to him with a teleportation.
