Since Fen had agreed to Great Magician Kabambai's dinner invitation, she naturally had to make some preparations. The most important thing was: clothes.
In view of the airship accident, most of the clothes they didn't wear had been burned. Even if there were any left, they would be too tattered to wear. After leaving the Jura Mountains and arriving at Abadan City and several other stops, the women naturally bought some clothes to change into.
But those clothes could only be said to be clean and tidy. They couldn't be worn in formal occasions. Considering the time it would take to sew, they definitely wouldn't be able to make it for dinner.
Therefore, Fen grabbed a large bag of money and two young girls to work for her. Then, she happily went out to buy things. And the escort was ….. the owner of the inn, a retired magician, the former 'Battlefield Red Lotus' Schauer. Even with a head of white hair, it was said that the female magician was as forthright as before. When it came to buying clothes, especially good clothes, she didn't hesitate to recommend herself.
Then the four women went to the streets. The men trembled in fear. They all looked for excuses to go away. A certain person used the excuse of being busy to escape the scene with a flash spell. Schauer's husband, the man rumored to have been snatched by the female magician, also escaped because he had many errands to take care of in the inn.
Although there were many magicians gathered in the Holy City of Estali, all kinds of things unrelated to magic were also very prosperous. In particular, because of the popularity of the city, there were countless merchants who came here to do business.
When there were many people doing business, there would naturally be a variety of types. Cloth and tailoring were Fen's targets this time. But the clothes in the Mystery Land were mainly custom-made, there were no ready-made clothes. Would those people be able to find clothes in time to wear tonight? A certain person who was slacking thought so.
But perhaps they were just using shopping to express their dissatisfaction or to ease their inexplicable emotions. If this was on Earth, a certain person would definitely say: This is an illness, it needs to be treated. But in the Mystery Land, the person involved was the Lich. For the sake of their lives, they should forget it.
When it was close to dinner time, the carriage sent by Great Magician Kabambai to pick up the guests was already waiting in front of the inn. Lin Yi was wearing a white robe with a hemp rope tied around her waist and a small magician's cape embroidered with her own symbol – a pixelated version of a three-headed monkey.
Usually, he was dressed in gray robes, but whether it was white or gray, they were all made of ordinary materials. To him, clothes were a consumable for Blink, the kind that would be eliminated after a few flashes. If she didn't change, she would have to continue shopping naked. Therefore, there was no point in buying clothes that were too good or making magic robes.
On the other hand, Fen was made of silk with a linen surface. She had meticulously embroidered runes with additional magical effects, and the overall design looked rather harmonious and textured. Apart from the additional spells that increased comfort such as' cleansing 'and' breathing ', there was also a defensive effect. Even if he was hit by a sword, his defense would not be broken so quickly.
If one had to point out a flaw, it would be that the loose robe would hide her snake-like figure.
The owner of the tailor shop was only willing to sell the high-quality magic robe to Shaoerdi. Of course, in that shop, more of the robes were for mages or apprentices who were born noble ladies. They were more flashy than practical. However, if she were to wear clothes that did not have any life-saving or strength-enhancing effects, she would only be laughed at if she were seen by someone who knew her stuff.
Lin Yi didn't bring any tools or equipment such as wands. Ever since he learned Blink, those things would be a waste.
Fen considerately didn't bring the Battleship Slicing Sword or the giant machete with her. Instead, she tied a holster behind her waist and brought the magic gun Xiangqin, which was also the gun that she carried most often.
Considering that most people in the maze didn't recognize such a weapon, Lin Yi decided not to bring it with him. He couldn't bring himself to ask Lich to go to another Mage's territory empty-handed. The reason why Lin Yi didn't bring anything with him was that he could directly summon the Cassette Cutting if necessary, which was more useful than any powerful equipment.
However, Fen seemed rather dissatisfied with the luxurious carriage in front of her. She didn't care that a servant had already opened the door for her and was waiting respectfully on the side. She simply said, "Can we just Blink there? It feels very troublesome to take a carriage. "
She took Lich's hand and led him to the carriage. Lin smiled and said, "There's a saying in my hometown: guests should follow the host's wishes. Besides, we're guests at a new friend's house today. Wouldn't it be rude to just Blink there? Just treat it as enjoying the scenery along the way. "
After thinking about it, Fen lifted the hem of her robe and climbed into the carriage.
Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination amidst the rumbling sounds. It was located in the outskirts of the Holy City of Estali, behind Kabambai Academy. It was a villa area with quiet tree-lined paths. There was a considerable distance between the houses, so the noise would not easily reach the ears of the neighbors.
The carriage passed through a gate guarded by magic puppets, and after passing through a large courtyard, it stopped. The owners of the house were already waiting at the door. For an old Mage, this was enough respect for the younger generation.
… Considering the age of the person beside him, it seemed strange to say that he was the younger generation. However, some unnecessary complaints should not be said in this kind of situation, so as not to worry about his life.
Lin, who got off the carriage first, reached out his hand to support the other woman in the carriage. The hem of the dress was slightly lifted, revealing the ankle and light blue pointed high heels with a small blue flower on the shoe. It was not big, but it was very eye-catching.
Speaking of which, this pair of high heels had a story. When Fen was in the Sijia District's Wulian City, she would compete with a group of noble ladies at a noble's banquet. At that time, the taste of clothing seemed to have spread everywhere like cancer cells.
Therefore, the four women who came back in the afternoon, except for Fen who bought a robe for herself, all brought back one or two pairs of shoes. They did not have any enchantment effect, but they were very cute, very beautiful, very attractive, very … very … many feelings that a certain person could not understand, so they bought them back.
But in all fairness, those shoes did add some indescribable charm to the feet of the right person. At least when Fen got off the carriage, the scene was not inferior to that of the big stars who got off the carriage to walk the red carpet on Earth. To be able to hold such a charming woman's hand, Lin felt that he was dreaming.
"What's wrong? You're just holding my hand and not walking forward? "
"Ah, yes." After being reminded, a certain person finally remembered to lead her forward.
As the introducer, Balta was also waiting by the door. He introduced the two people who came forward, "Your Excellencies, this is my teacher, Grand Mage Kabanbai. Next to him is his wife, Grand Mage Westminster. This is Grand Mage Bijan, who is also teaching in the academy. The three of you have been good friends since young, and you often visit each other. "
Balta said that it was a simple dinner and no outsiders were invited. But today, there was an extra person, so he still explained the reason. And it seemed that this good friend had long been regarded as a family member by Kabanbai and his wife.
Under Balta's introduction, Lin and Fen exchanged a few words with Kabanbai and his wife at the door and then entered the living room inside the house to wait for dinner to be prepared.
While waiting, the chatter was very similar to that of a Mage. Everyone started to talk about a certain spell model and whether there was any room for improvement. What kind of spell's effect was, what kind of changes could be made, and how they could be used in different places. What interested a certain person the most was that they were not only talking about offensive or support spells, but also seriously thinking about how to make life more convenient.
Soon, a waiter came to inform the owner of this place, and Grand Mage Kabanbai invited everyone to the dining room.
This dinner was not the same as the feast they had imagined. At least, they did not boldly place roasted chicken or roasted lamb on the table. Instead, they served simple plates, knives, forks, wine glasses, and then appetizers, appetizers, main dishes, and so on.
Each dish was not much, but it was very exquisite and there was nothing to say about the taste. They did not act like a nouveau riche, adding spices as if they did not cost money. Instead, they cleverly cooked the fresh and sweet taste of the food. Even if it was a descendant of a certain foodie empire, there was nothing to be picky about.
Of course, with this kind of meal, there was a lot of time to chat. Everyone talked about all kinds of topics, from the taste of the dishes to the magic beasts they hunted when they were young. Some magic beasts could not be eaten, but some parts of the magic beasts were delicacies that normal people could not taste. Then they talked about the dangers of the hunt. Of course, there were also two good friends who were leaking secrets to each other.
With these old hands bringing up the atmosphere, it was hard for a certain person to kill the conversation. Of course, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. From time to time, they would ask for a certain person's opinion, and their words would inevitably be mixed with a bit of probing.
Lin and Fen did not have anything to hide, or it could be said that the things they asked were only because they did not have a deep enough understanding of themselves, so they were far from touching on the secrets they did not want to talk about. So for every question, they would appropriately express their opinions. If one did not consider the conspiracy theories, this was just like a normal conversation.
After the meal, they came to the small salon in the mansion. The drink that was served was not some after-meal wine, but rather coffee that they had not tasted in a while. When the black liquid entered their throat, a certain person's mind was awakened!
For a person who was addicted to caffeine before transmigration, in this world where there was no tea or coffee, this was definitely torture. Even if he seemed to have opened the way for people to drink coffee, it was far from enough. He wanted a world where he could drink tea, coffee, and Coca-Cola as if they were water. That was his ideal world. It was not without reason that he wanted to go home.
"Sir Tripwood." Grand Magus Kabanbai said with a straight face, "I believe you also know my destination from Balta. And I believe that you have received a lot of similar messages in the past few days. But you haven't replied to anyone yet. "
"Yes." It seemed that his actions were all seen by this old man. A certain person thought so.
"Here, please allow me to formally extend an invitation to you, sir. I'd like to invite you to my academy to teach about mathematics."
"I accept."
