The Taikoo Forest is very large, and the closer you go to the edge, the wider the roads in the forest become.
Looking at the traces of cutting on the roadside, the druids would probably feel sad, but Lei only felt comfortable.
Because this means that he is about to walk out of this vast and endless forest and return to human society!
But as the saying goes, "Looking up the mountain and running to death", they felt that they had reached the edge of the forest in the morning, but it was not until the sun set that they actually walked out of the forest and saw a town built adjacent to the forest.
It was a small town, surrounded by high walls. Located in the center of the town, there is a very conspicuous building, like a landmark. It rises from the ground, towering, more than twice as tall as other buildings, like a tall giant, standing among the crowd and looking down at the world.
That is the Magic Tower, the residence of the advanced spellcasters, their fortress, their library, their scientific research center, their inheritance, and their final burial place.
"Phew! 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 cities of the Secret Magic Tower Federation have very distinctive features. Every town is surrounded by It is built with a magic tower, so as long as you see the magic tower, you will know that the town has arrived, it is clear at a glance.”
"This kind of town construction should be a good choice." Sui Xiong said, "The magic tower is inhabited by advanced spellcasters, who can provide shelter for the citizens. And the existence of the citizens also makes the town prosperous. It allows spellcasters to have better living conditions and helps them devote themselves to research in a better mental state."
"Indeed, that's why even though the Secret Tower Federation was founded less than a thousand years ago, it has already become the center of magic research on the entire main plane. Although many seniors uphold the tradition that "mages should stay away from the world" and despise their somewhat philistine practices. lifestyle, but young people have long regarded this place as a holy land for spell casters. Every year, many people come from all over the country, hoping to have the opportunity to step into the advanced magic field and become a mysterious and powerful spell caster."
"Have you been here before?" Sui Xiong asked.
Lei was silent for a moment and nodded.
"So, will anyone know you here?" Sui Xiong asked again.
"It should be gone." Lei whispered, "...after that incident, they will probably be implicated too. It would be good if they can save their lives - it would be best if they can't recognize me."
"Don't worry, no one will recognize you. Don't forget, your appearance has completely changed."
Lei nodded and smiled, but his expression was still a little melancholy.
Whenever he thinks of some distant past, he will feel melancholy for a long time.
And whenever he felt melancholy like this, Steele would look at him in admiration. According to her: "Although he can't be seen and eaten, he is so handsome when he is so melancholy! He does not have the usual casual and carefree feeling at all, but is full of noble temperament. He is really like the prince in a knight novel. Same - oh, it seems that he is indeed a prince, although he seems to have been deprived of his inheritance rights... "
As a result of saying this, she was beaten by a furious Lei who picked up firewood. Although he usually doesn't hit women, certain topics are off limits to Lei, and he will be merciless if he dares to offend her.
The pink piglet flapped its wings and flew around beside Lei, admiring the rare "Melancholy Prince" beauty from all angles. Sui Xiong felt that if Steele lived on Earth, she would have taken out her cell phone by now and snapped several photos at once.
Naturally, there are guards at the gate of the town. These guards are wearing bright full-body armor, carrying long swords, and holding halberds. They are all tall and energetic, and you can tell that they are elites at a glance. The secretary who led the team was very responsible. He first welcomed them to Green Tree City, then carefully inquired about Lei's origins and registered him.
"Does everyone have to register when entering the city?" Sui Xiong asked curiously, "Will this be a waste of time?"
The clerk, who was about forty years old, pushed up the round glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Of course not everyone needs to register. In fact, I remember all the residents of Green Tree City. Only those who meet me don't." Only people you know and are good at need to register.”
"You have good taste!" Sui Xiong said happily, "Many people will judge people by their appearance, but you don't. No wonder you can be entrusted with important tasks!"
"Yes, floating jellyfish and flying pig. Those who can have two magic pets like this are definitely not ordinary people!"
If Lei hadn't grabbed Sui Xiong with his left hand and Steele with his right hand, dragging them away, perhaps this secretary with an excellent memory would have been knocked to the ground with a few more pig hooves marks on his face. .
"What is a demon pet!" Sui Xiong was still aggrieved until he settled down in the hotel, "This guy is completely blind! I am so powerful and powerful, but he actually regards me as a low-level thing like a demon pet! "
"So ha! So ha! Luo Mou Niu Tiao Bo missed the ship! (Yes! Yes! I don't even know the beauty!)" Steele also shouted angrily, took out a wooden board and wrote quickly on it A few words of criticism made the clerk worthless.
It was really hard for Lei to hold back the laughter that almost burst out of his mouth and comfort the two of them at the same time.
Fortunately, both of them have short memories, and their anger comes and goes quickly. From this point of view, Sui Xiong and Steele are actually quite compatible in character, although their values are very different. After a while, Sui Xiong She was already urging Lei to go out quickly and try the special delicacies in the Land of Mage, while Steele also expressed that she wanted to see if there were any interesting specialties here and wanted to buy some for fun.
They are not rich, but they are definitely not poor either. As a top adventurer just one step away from the legendary realm and a lone thief, Lei's net worth is extremely rich. Although he had spent most of his property in order to seize the crystal that contained the divine power of life, what was left was enough for an ordinary person to live a prosperous life, and he would be stable and wealthy for decades.
And during their adventures during this period, the wealth gained was also extraordinary. Even if you don't take into account the evil dragons that take up the majority, just the powerful monsters hunted on the road are already an astonishing wealth.
Apart from anything else, according to the research of slime alchemist Wendy, the venomous snake that has lived for at least 450 years, and probably close to 500 years, is worth a lot of money. At first glance, this is nothing—the evil dragon Uthes Kreid, the Cruel Burner, has been wreaking havoc in the world for more than a thousand years—but if you consider its race, this number is scary.
Wendy has studied it carefully and found that the snake is indeed just a very common species. Under normal circumstances, it is considered a long life to live to be thirty years old. If it lives to fifty years old, it can be said to be auspicious among snakes. However, this guy lived ten and a half years. Ten years old. To compare it with human beings, the average lifespan is more than fifty years old, and the long-lived people can reach eighty or ninety years old. Among human beings, an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years has jumped out!
The protection of human rights in this world is far inferior to that on Earth. If a thousand-year-old Rui appears, he will probably be cut into pieces for study - just like the fate of the giant snake.
How much is such a precious research material worth? That's a matter of opinion. Perhaps in Wendy's view, it is just a good research topic, suitable for passing the boring time of guarding the magic tower alone; perhaps in Steele's view, treasures that can extend the lives of rich men and nobles are simply priceless. ; Perhaps in Lei's view, this kind of thing that allows those old people with a rotten atmosphere to live for a few more years is worthless and should be smashed directly... But it is undeniable that it is precious treasure.
And they got a lot of similar things during their trek!
So when they go shopping, their pockets are full and their confidence is high.
The group of people first went to the hotel. However, when they wanted to go to the most upscale hotel in Green Tree City, they were stopped at the door. The bodyguard guarding the door said that the hotel only accepted guests in formal attire, and pets were not allowed.
"What if it's a noble mage?" Lei asked. He didn't believe that in this city of mage, spell casters would not receive any preferential treatment.
"Even the caster is the same. Wear the mage's uniform, put the magic pet in a special space bag, or temporarily cancel the summons. These are the rules." The tall and handsome man looked more like a fashion model. The bodyguard who looked like a doorman said without hesitation, "The rules have never been changed in all these years!"
It can be seen that he is very confident.
Lei frowned. Experience told him that the backing behind this hotel was very strong and the water in it was very deep. Considering that there is no need to cause trouble, just leaving is the right choice.
However, Sui Xiong was not willing to leave just like that, and wanted to negotiate hard: "Why do you think I am some kind of pet? There are no pets here. We are just adventurers of different races."
"Lower creatures are not allowed to enter." The handsome bodyguard did not mean to be accommodating at all, and his tone became sharp, "But... you can also come in. A talking jellyfish and a flying pig, made of The cold jellyfish and roasted pig should become special dishes.”
"We don't want to cause trouble." Lei sighed, feeling that a big fight was inevitable.
"How could it be causing trouble... Please give me a price. This jellyfish and this pig are both good. It is indeed a good idea to buy them and make them into dishes." The handsome bodyguard's smile became more and more mean, but his eyes became colder and colder. .
It seems that no matter what Sui Xiong and the others choose, this guy seems to want to have a fight.
However, Sui Xiong did not take action. He just sneered: "Formal clothing, right? Pets are prohibited, right? It's very simple!"
With that said, he waved his tentacles, and blue light enveloped Lei and Steele. When the light dissipated, the down-and-out adventurer and the flying piggy had turned into handsome men and beauties in gorgeous dresses.
Then, Sui Xiong himself transformed into a super burly man with a height of eight feet and a waist of eight feet. Although he wore a dress that was so gorgeous that it blinded people's eyes, it was ugly enough to give people nightmares.
"In this case, we meet the requirements, right?" The giant man who didn't know whether he was still a human said angrily. Although he was asking, there was no intention of asking in his tone. Instead, he was looking for trouble.
Treating kindness with kindness and malice with malice, Brother Xiong has never been a coward who would swallow his anger even after being bullied!
