After driving the carriage for several days, Morin finally left the vicinity of the Dark Forest.
Looking at the traces of human existence around him, for a moment, Morin had the illusion that he was in a dream.
"It's an unforgettable feeling."
There were sparse farmlands all around. Some farmers were working non-stop. The windmill made a creaking sound. Maureen stretched in the carriage.
"Chip, what's going on?" Morin thought for a moment and asked in his heart.
"Ding! The sorcery model of the acid missile has been analyzed!"
"Very good, transfer to my memory area." Morin smiled and snapped his fingers lightly.
In recent days, he has been letting the chip continuously analyze the witchcraft templates he acquired. After all, he had just recorded them forcibly with the chip before.
With the help of the chip, Morin has obtained several analyzed witchcraft templates in the past few days.
"By the way, chip, how is the analysis of those lines and totems going?"
Morin thought of the lines and totems in the combined witchcraft books, so he asked.
"Ding! Unable to parse!"
"Unable to parse?" Morin frowned. He always felt that those lines and totems were not simple and wanted to figure them out, but the result was that they could not be parsed?
"Ding! According to the data recorded in the database, the lines and totems contained in the mission are suspected to be from ancient times!"
"Suspected to be from ancient times?"
Morin was even more surprised. He had a chip to constantly collect and organize information, and his knowledge reserves were very rich. Naturally, he knew what the so-called ancient times were about.
Before the present era, there was an endlessly glorious ancient era. It was a feast for wizards, with countless schools, countless disciplines of knowledge, and countless experiments emerging one after another. The wizards of the ancient times conquered one plane after another, plundered wealth, divided up resources, colonized, and spread the glory of wizards throughout the endless world.
Later, a catastrophe struck the entire wizarding world. All the powerful wizards disappeared, various great creations and witchcraft were constantly scattered and lost, one discipline and knowledge after another slowly disappeared, and even the wizarding heritage was almost broken.
Fortunately, thousands of years later, someone inherited the knowledge of the wizards of ancient times and reopened the heyday of wizards. The glory of wizards came again.
But this luck did not last long. Not long after, the wizards went to war for some reason. The entire wizarding world suffered great setbacks in the war, and it even almost led to the break of inheritance again.
Although the war stopped for various reasons, the wizards still suffered serious trauma. Not to mention the glory of the ancient times, even the previous glory has not yet been restored.
At this time, how could Morin not be surprised to hear the chip say that those lines and totems actually came from ancient times.
"Chip, establish a long-term task, rank first in order, and be sure to analyze those lines and totems!" Morin thought about it and issued such an order.
"Ding! Mission established!"
The sound of the chip came over.
"Very good." Morin nodded.
He looked ahead and saw a tall city wall in front of him. Many people were constantly coming in and out, and it looked very lively.
"Well, according to what the map says, this should be Hale City, the human city closest to the Dark Forest." Morin looked at Hale City in front of him, with an interesting look in his eyes, and said, "I should have no problem deceiving these ordinary people with my current disguise."
At this moment, Morin was not different from his usual appearance. His originally black hair had turned brown, and he had a circle of yellow beard. He was wearing worn leather armor, and the cross sword was casually placed aside. He looked like a mercenary who had been through many battles.
Earlier, when he was in the Dark Forest library, Morin got a guess about disguised witchcraft in a miscellaneous book. He used the chip to make a simple deduction and obtained a very practical witchcraft.
"In the world of ordinary people, it is more convenient to disguise yourself as a mercenary."
Maureen stroked his chin with a faint smile on his face.
Sure enough, when he drove his carriage to the city gate, the city guards who looked fierce to others and kept collecting city entry taxes did not dare to say anything. They nodded and bowed, respectfully letting Morin in.
"Although it is a city, it is really a small city."
Maureen took a quick look and found that the city of Hale was really small, with low buildings, people wearing shabby clothes, and walking hurriedly with tired looks on their faces. There were few streets, and the streets were full of garbage, sewage, and a foul smell.
After taking a quick look, Morin lost interest and strode into the best hotel in Hale City.
"Welcome, welcome, distinguished guest!" When the waiter saw Morin, his eyes lit up and he hurried over.
"Give me the best room, and also give me a portion of the best food you have." Morin said lightly.
"Okay, no problem, but sir, your carriage..." The waiter saw the carriage behind Morin and the people behind the carriage who were ready to move, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Don't worry about that."
Of course Morin knew that when he entered the city, someone had followed him secretly and wanted to attack his carriage. After all, in a place like Hale City, a mercenary with a carriage was obviously a fat sheep.
Morin knew all these things, but he didn't seem to care at all.
"All right."
Seeing this situation, the guy didn't know what to say.
Morin took a nice bath in the hotel and then had a good sleep. You know, he had been traveling non-stop these days. Although he was physically fine, he was mentally exhausted.
The next day, Maureen had breakfast early and then came to the carriage parked in the backyard of the inn.
The carriage was still in that place, without any sign of abnormality. The black horse was snorting and exhaling puffs of white air.
Morin walked to the side of the carriage, took out a test tube, and whispered:
"Ukandi Ma!"
As soon as the spell was uttered, four or five extremely tiny black snakes shot out immediately. After swimming a little, they drilled into the test tube, coiled around each other, and remained motionless.
"The Miller's viper is small but very fast and very poisonous, so it's very good for protection." Morin put away the test tube and whispered to himself.
"You want to take my carriage? Oh, how ridiculous!"
Morin looked at the clumps of liquid and one or two pieces of cloth beside the carriage and couldn't help but sneer.
This kind of Miller's viper was obtained from Adrian's laboratory. It is very good and is most famous for its toxicity. If a wizard apprentice is bitten by it, it will be very troublesome, let alone ordinary people who have the courage to attack his carriage.
They had long been turned into liquid balls by the venom, with only one or two pieces of cloth from their clothes barely preserved as evidence of their existence.
"Okay, it's time to go."
Maureen drove the carriage and headed forward.
In the carriage, Maureen frowned, thinking about how to deal with the potion.
"We were quite close to the Dark Forest just now. Although there were several gathering places for wizards, it was difficult for me to sell them. After all, it is better to be safe."
"We are almost at the Dark Forest now, so it's time for me to sell potions."
Maureen quickly came up with an idea.
In a forest, birds were singing and squirrels were running around, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
Morin disguised himself as a young mercenary with red curly hair, fair skin and a handsome appearance.
He came to a lake and spoke loudly in ancient Andean language, "I am a wizard apprentice, and I hope to enter this market to exchange resources."
Everything was quiet and nothing changed. It looked like Maureen was a madman talking to the air.
Maureen seemed very patient.
At this time, a gray squirrel jumped and appeared in front of him, speaking in human language, "Oh, I thought it was an ordinary mercenary, but I didn't expect it to be a wizard apprentice. It's really surprising."
"I want to enter the market, can I?" Morin's eyes fell on the gray squirrel.
"Yes, but it will cost half a magic stone."
The gray squirrel's eyes were rolling around.
"Take it." Morin threw out a magic stone casually.
The gray squirrel held the magic stone in its claws, bit off half of it and swallowed it, then threw the remaining half of the magic stone back to Morin and said, "Okay, young wizard apprentice, follow me."
The gray squirrel was hopping and leading the way. Morin, holding the cross sword, slowly followed behind the gray squirrel.
Soon, the gray squirrel came to the top of a cliff and then jumped directly down the cliff. Morin was slightly surprised, but after seeing the lake below the cliff, he felt at ease and jumped down as well.
He only felt a flash before his eyes, and then, Morin felt that he appeared outside a market, shrouded in a light mist. In front of him were tall and low buildings, and many people were constantly coming in and out.
Morin sensed it slightly and his heart was moved, because these people were constantly emitting wizard energy. There was no doubt that they were all wizard apprentices.
"Oh, young wizard apprentice, you are really amazing. You know, the way to enter our wizard gathering place makes many people uncomfortable."
The gray squirrel rolled his eyes as if he had thought of something, and said, "The wizard who built this secret place had a bad taste in his heart to come up with this way of entering. But this is not the worst. In the beginning, if you wanted to enter, you had to jump down facing the sharp stone spikes. Tsk tsk, that was really terrifying."
"Well, young wizard apprentice, I'm leaving now. You can take your time to wander around."
As the gray squirrel said yes, its body suddenly exploded with a bang, turned into a purple smoke, and disappeared in an instant.
Morin smiled, looked at the wizard gathering market in front of him, and slowly walked in.
