Leylin didn't know that someone behind him was planning to deal with him, but he still drove the carriage and ran all the way.
After five days, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when traces of human existence began to appear around him.
Although wizards have always looked down on ordinary humans, just like humans view ants, it is undeniable that these ordinary people are the basis for the continuous generation of wizards.
Therefore, although things like human experimentation have been repeatedly banned, and it is even more aboveboard in Blackbone Forest College, all wizards will try to avoid human gathering places when they do it, so as to avoid causing a large number of casualties, otherwise they will be rejected by all wizards.
"After arriving at the city ahead, we can take a rest!" After five consecutive days of traveling, Leylin and his horse were exhausted.
At this moment, the horse slowed down slightly, and Leylin looked at the surrounding scene.
Sparse fields and acres are distributed on both sides, and there is a huge windmill not far away.
A clear stream flows by the side of the field, and there are some unknown fish swimming slowly in it.
Seeing this scene, Leylin suddenly relaxed.
"Quiet! A peaceful human world! How long has it been since I felt this peaceful atmosphere..."
"According to the map instructions, the nearest city should be Greystone City!" Leylin looked at the map displayed on the chip.
"It's still too close to the academy. Although there is a gathering place for wizards nearby, it's too dangerous to sell potions or inquire about the situation!"
"Also, I always have some bad premonitions!" Leylin frowned and looked in the direction behind him.
"I killed the giant tree demon, will the enemy let me go so easily?"
"Ding! Mimic analysis is complete!"
At this moment, the chip's prompt sounded.
"That's great!" Leylin was overjoyed, and quickly browsed through the introduction of Mimicry.
"Imitation: level zero spell effect: can slightly change the shape of facial muscles Duration: one day Consumption: a little energy, a little mana!"
This is a zero-level spell specially selected by Leylin, specially used to conceal his identity.
"However, is it just changing the appearance?" Leylin mused, "Many wizards identify their identities through mental fluctuations and even soul levels. Of course, these are things that happen after becoming a formal wizard, and I am unlikely to encounter them now. "
"Chip! Can you optimize the effect of simulacrum so that it can cover up mental fluctuations!"
Leylin asked.
"Ding! Create tasks, establish optimization goals, and start simulation analysis..."
About ten seconds later, the feedback from the chip came over: "It can be optimized, it requires 7 points of mental power, and it takes 14 days and 5 hours. It needs to be supplemented with advanced knowledge: Spiritual Body Research, Annihilation Runes."
"Seven points of spiritual power? I can achieve it in a few years, but the knowledge about spiritual body research and the annihilation runes are not so easy to obtain!"
Research on the soul has always been the most mysterious part of the wizarding world. Although the Black Bone Forest College claims to be at the forefront and has achieved a lot of research results, it is afraid that it has only a little understanding of some superficial principles, and Leylin is only a second-class student. Apprentices do not have access to this aspect of content.
"Simulation is enough for the time being!" Leylin looked around and drove the carriage to a small forest on the side.
A moment later, when Leylin came out again, his appearance had completely changed.
The original boy's face suddenly matured a lot, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a public face.
He also changed into a pair of weather-beaten leather armor, and the scabbard of the cross sword became a bit old.
Leylin's figure was relatively tall, and his food was good. Before that, he was very close to the average height of an adult. Now, he looked like a thin and experienced mercenary.
Leylin came to a small stream and looked at his new face, "Mmm! Not bad! Even the vocal cords have been remodeled to change the voice."
The voice also became thick and hoarse, changing from the soft and immature youth.
"Let's enter the city with this face for the time being!" Leylin nodded, and then took out another kraft paper bag. When he opened it, there was a ball of white powder inside.
"The odorless powder of the underground worm! Just one gram can completely wipe away the body odor of the creature!" Leylin said softly.
"I don't have a good way to deal with mental power, but in the secular world, I should still achieve the ultimate. The appearance and smell have changed, and ordinary methods can never find me!"
Leylin looked at the carriage again, thought for a while, and discarded the other unnecessary things, only boxes of potions, spell books, and raw materials were tied to the two horses.
"Let's go!" When he came to the last horse that didn't have any weight on it, Leylin untied the rein and whipped his whip hard.
"Woo!" The big black horse roared and ran towards an unknown direction.
Then, Leylin sprinkled a red powder all over the carriage, and then used the odorless powder of subterranean locusts on the remaining two horses before stepping on one of them and leaving.
Not long after Leylin left, black smoke kept coming out of the woods first, and then a raging flame burst into flames.
Continuously advancing along the main road, there were more and more human traces on the side of the road. After walking for an hour, Leylin saw the outline of Greystone City.
The walls of Greystone City are very small, and the gray buildings with domes and spires can be seen from the outside.
Next to the city gate, there are soldiers with weapons patrolling.
"What are you doing?" A leader wearing half leather armor stopped Leylin.
"Mercenary, part-time trader!" Leylin said with a smile, he found greedy eyes from the soldiers behind the leader.
The leader looked at the big horse Leylin was riding and the box behind him, swallowed, and then swept across Leylin's waist, especially when he saw the crossed sword on Leylin's waist, his face clearly showed fear. look.
"It costs one copper to enter the city!"
"Here you are!" Leylin threw a brand new brass coin to the leader.
"You can go in now! Remember not to come out to wander around at night, or you will be caught by the patrol and thrown into jail!" The leader squeezed out an ugly smile.
"Thank you!" Leylin entered the city gate with his luggage.
"Head?" A soldier was obviously not reconciled.
"Shut up! Don't look at the other party's attire. How can someone who can bring the goods safely to the city alone have simple goods? Maybe he is a knight!" The leader lowered his voice, "Don't trouble such people in the future. !"
"It seems that no matter where you go, strength is a valid passport!"
Leylin rode a black horse on the streets of Greystone City. He saw the civilians on both sides avoiding him in fear. He looked at Leylin with a lot of fear and envy in his eyes, so he couldn't help but nodded.
"It's just that, judging by the prosperity of this Greystone City, I'm afraid it can't compare to a small town in later generations!"
Leylin roughly estimated the area of the entire Greystone City, and found that there are at most 10,000 residents.
As for the living conditions in the city, it was even worse.
The road surface is yellow mud, and there is still a lot of sand on it. A slight gust of wind will raise yellow dust.
Most of the pedestrians on both sides were yellow and thin, wearing rough gray or black clothes with many holes.
On both sides of the road, there are many railings with cattle and sheep, and other small livestock running on the road, and a smell of fresh excrement has been lingering around.
"Dirty, messy, poor!" This was Leylin's first impression of Greystone City.
"Find a hotel to stay in first!" Leylin was a little tired from the continuous rush.
After searching for a long time, Leylin couldn't find anything like a hotel. Finally, after paying a few coppers, he finally found a place where he could barely live from a resident.
"Great sword and wine glass! It's here!" Leylin looked at the letters on the signboard, a little speechless.
This store is located in the west city, and it seems that the law and order are quite chaotic. Leylin saw a lot of drunkenness and fights along the way. One party even used short knives and daggers, but there was no sign of the sheriff.
Pushing open the door, a bad smell of alcohol filled Leylin's nostrils.
"Come on! Have another drink!" "Good job, Czech!" All kinds of chaotic voices continued to stimulate Leylin's eardrums.
The inside looked like a bar, many drunks were enjoying their drinks, and some with half-opened drunk eyes, put their hands on the body of the hostess, and said dirty words.
"Sir! What do you need?" The bartender was a young man with yellow hair, and he was also the most sober person in the bar.
"I heard you can find a place to live here?"
Leylin sat down on the high chair beside the counter.
"Yes! In the entire Greystone City, only we provide accommodation services!" The bartender shrugged: "But this is nothing to be proud of, because there are not many travelers passing through our city all year round!"
"Give me a quiet room, and take care of my two horses, how much will I have to pay?" Leylin looked at the oak barrel behind the bartender.
"Give me a glass of the best wine here!" Leylin threw a silver coin over.
"Happy to serve you!" The bartender quickly brought a glass of wine with a handle to the table: "Honey butter wine! The best wine here!"
While sipping his wine, Leylin listened to the bartender's introduction.
In fact, many wizards do not like alcohol that can calm the nerves, preferring drinks that can refresh their minds.
Leylin also seldom drank alcohol, but he just came out of curiosity to try something new. However, the taste of this cup of honey butter wine was really ordinary, with a bitter taste, which made Leylin feel like he was being cheated.
"The cost of our lodging here is thirty coppers a night, taking care of two horses, plus fodder, twenty coppers a day!"
Before Leylin left the academy, he had changed a batch of small change on his body, but now he threw out two silver coins boldly: "Let's stay for four days first..."
"Look! What a beautiful horse! This coat color! This figure is definitely more expensive than the war horses in the City Lord's Mansion!"
An annoying voice sounded.
