The Ancient Forest was very big, and the closer they were to the edge, the wider the road was.
Looking at the felling marks on the roadside, the druids would probably feel sad and resentful, but Ray only felt comfortable.
Because it meant that he was about to walk out of this vast and endless big forest and return to human society!
But as the saying goes, "What you see will kill you". Although they felt that they had reached the edge of the forest in the morning, they didn't really walk out of the forest until sunset. They saw a town built adjacent to the forest.
It was a small town surrounded by high walls. In the center of the town, there was a very conspicuous building, like a landmark. It was towering from the ground, more than twice as tall as other buildings, like a tall giant standing in the crowd and looking down at the common people.
That was the Magic Tower, the residence of the high-level spellcasters. It was also their fortress, their library, their research center, their inheritance, and their final resting place.
"Phew! Finally out of the forest! " Seeing this towering magic tower, Ray couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said with a smile, "The characteristics of the cities in the Commonwealth of Mifata are very clear. Every town is built around a magic tower, so as long as you see a magic tower, you know you have arrived at a town."
"This kind of town construction should be a good choice," Sui Xiong said. "There are high-level spellcasters living in the magic tower, who can provide shelter for the citizens. And the existence of the citizens also makes the town more prosperous, so that the spellcasters can have better living conditions, which is good for them to devote themselves to research in a better state of mind. "
"Indeed, so although the Commonwealth of Mifata has been founded for less than a thousand years, it has already become the center of magic research in the whole Main Plane. Although many seniors adhere to the tradition that 'mages should stay away from the mortal world' and despise their somewhat philistine way of life, young people have long regarded this place as the holy land of spellcasters. Every year, many people come from all over the world, hoping to have the opportunity to step into the profound field of magic and become mysterious and powerful spellcasters. "
"Have you been here before?" Sui Xiong asked.
Ray was silent for a while, and then nodded.
"Then, will anyone here know you?" Sui Xiong asked again.
"Probably not," Ray said in a low voice, "… After that incident, they will probably be implicated. It's good enough that they can stay alive — actually, it's better that they don't recognize me. "
"Don't worry, no one will recognize you. Don't forget, your appearance has completely changed. "
Ray nodded and smiled, but his expression was still somewhat melancholy.
Whenever he thought of some distant past, he would be melancholy for a long time.
Whenever he was depressed like this, Steele would look at him and admire him. According to her, "Although he can't touch me, he's so handsome when he's depressed! He doesn't have the usual carefree and downtrodden vibe, but is full of a noble temperament. He really is like a prince in a knight novel. Oh, it seems like he is indeed a prince, although he seems to have been deprived of his right to inherit … "
The result of saying this was that she was beaten up by the furious Ray with firewood. Although he didn't usually hit women, some topics were Ray's reverse scale. If they dared to violate it, he would show no mercy.
The pink piglet flapped its wings and flew around Ray, admiring the rare beautiful scenery of the Melancholic Prince from all angles. Sui Xiong felt that if Steele had lived on Earth, she would have taken out her mobile phone and taken a lot of photos in one breath.
Of course, there were guards at the gate of the town. These guards were wearing bright full body armor, carrying long swords and long halberds. They were all tall and energetic, obviously elites. The clerk who led the team was very responsible. He first welcomed them to the Green Tree City, and then carefully asked about Ray's background and registered him.
"Does everyone need to register when they enter the city?" Sui Xiong asked curiously. "Is it a waste of time?"
The clerk, who was about forty years old, pushed 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 that all the residents in the Green Tree City only need to register when they meet someone I don't know and who has good strength."
"You have a good eye!" Sui Xiong said happily. "Many people will judge a book by its cover, but you won't. No wonder you can be entrusted with such an important task!"
"Yes, a floating jellyfish and a flying pig. A person who can have two magic pets like this is definitely not an ordinary person!"
If Ray hadn't grabbed Sui Xiong with his left hand and Steele with his right hand, perhaps this clerk with an excellent memory would have been knocked to the ground, and there would have been a few more pig's footprints on his face.
"What is a magic pet!" Until they settled down in the hotel, Sui Xiong was still indignant. "This guy is completely blind! I am so powerful and powerful, but he actually treats me as a low-level magic pet! "
"Suo Ha! Suo Ha! Luo Mou Niu Dou Bo Lou Shou! "Yes! Yes! He doesn't even know a beauty! " Steele also shouted angrily. She took out a wooden board and quickly wrote some criticism on it, scolding the clerk as if he was worthless.
Ray had to hold back his laughter and comfort the two of them at the same time. It was really hard.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't learn from their mistakes. Their anger came and went quickly. From this point of view, it could be seen that Sui Xiong and Steele got along quite well, although their values were very different. After a while, Sui Xiong urged Ray to quickly go out and try the special delicacies of the Mage Country. Steele also said that she wanted to see if there were any interesting specialties here and buy some to play with.
They weren't rich, but they were definitely not poor either. As a top adventurer who was only one step away from the legendary realm and a lone thief, Ray was extremely rich. Although he had used up more than half of his wealth in order to obtain the crystal that contained the Divine Power of Life, the little that was left was enough for an ordinary person to live a comfortable life for decades.
During this period of adventure, they had also gained a lot of wealth. Even if they didn't consider the evil dragon, just some powerful magic beasts that they had hunted on the road were already amazing wealth.
Not to mention the other things, according to the research of the Slime Alchemist Master Wendy, it had been confirmed that the poisonous snake had lived for at least 450 years, probably close to 500 years, and was worth so much money. At first glance, this was nothing — the evil dragon "Brutal Burner" Uherskreider had wreaked havoc in the human world for more than a thousand years — but if you considered its race, this number was very frightening.
Wendy had carefully studied it. That snake was indeed a very common species. Under normal circumstances, it was considered a long life to live for 30 years, and if it lived to 50 years, it would be considered a lucky person among snakes. However, this guy had lived for more than 10 years. Compared to humans, the average life expectancy was more than 50 years, and among humans who could live to 80 or 90 years old, there was an old monster who had lived for nearly a thousand years!
The protection of human rights in this world was far less than the protection of human rights on Earth. If a thousand years old person appeared, it was likely that he would inevitably be dissected and studied, just like the end of the giant snake.
What was the value of such a precious research material? That was a matter of opinion. Perhaps in Wendy's eyes, it was just a good research topic, very suitable for killing the boring time alone in the magic tower; perhaps in Steele's eyes, a treasure that could prolong the life of the rich and great nobles was simply priceless; perhaps in Ray's eyes, this thing that could prolong the life of those rotten old things was worthless and should be directly smashed … But it was undeniable that it was a precious treasure.
And during this period of trekking, they had obtained a lot of similar things!
So when they went shopping, their pockets were very full, and they were very confident.
The group of people first went to the restaurant, but when they wanted to go to the most high-end restaurant in Green Tree City, they were stopped at the door. The bodyguard guarding the door said that the restaurant only received guests wearing formal clothes, and pets were forbidden to enter.
"What if it is a noble mage?" Ray asked. He didn't believe that in this Wizard City, there would be no preferential treatment for the spellcasters.
"Even if it is a spellcaster, put on a mage's robe, put the magic pet in a special space bag, or temporarily cancel the summoning. This is the rule. " The tall and handsome bodyguard, who looked more like a fashion model than a doorman, said without hesitation, "For so many years, the rule has never been changed!"
It was obvious that he was very confident.
Ray frowned. His experience told him that the backing behind this restaurant was very strong, and the water was very deep. Considering that there was no need to cause trouble, directly leaving was the right choice, but Sui Xiong didn't want to leave like this.
However, Sui Xiong didn't want to leave like this. He still wanted to negotiate. "Why do you think I'm like a pet? There are no pets here. We are just adventurers of different races. "
"Lowly creatures are not allowed to enter." The handsome bodyguard didn't want to be flexible at all, and his tone became sharp. "But … you can also come in. A talking jellyfish and a flying pig can be made into salted jellyfish and roasted pig. It should be a special dish. "
"We don't want to make trouble." Ray sighed. He felt that a big fight was inevitable.
"How can it be trouble … Give me a price. This jellyfish and this pig are good. It is indeed a good idea to buy them and make them into dishes." The handsome bodyguard smiled more and more harshly, but his eyes became colder and colder.
It seemed that no matter what Sui Xiong and the others chose, this guy seemed to want to fight.
However, Sui Xiong didn't do anything. He just sneered. "Formal clothes, right? No pets, right? Very simple! "
He waved his tentacles, and a blue light covered Ray and Steele. When the light dispersed, the poor adventurer and the flying pig had become a handsome man and a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress.
Then, Sui Xiong himself transformed into a super burly man with a height of eight feet and a waist circumference of eight feet. Although he was wearing a gorgeous gown that was dazzling enough to blind people, he was ugly enough to make people have nightmares.
"In this case, we meet the requirements, right?" The burly man, who didn't know if he was human or not, said in a low voice. Although he was asking, his tone didn't have the slightest intention of asking. Instead, he was looking for trouble.
He would fight kindness with kindness and malice with malice. Brother Xiong was never a coward who would swallow his anger after being bullied!
