Chapter 376 - This Place Was Really Shitty (2/2)

After having done all of this, Link said, “Legends say that in ancient times, Legendary figures were common. It seems like we’ve returned such a time. In here, we cannot rely on such a strength anymore. This means that things are only going to become more dangerous.”

He then said to Princess Milda, “Disguise yourself well, make yourself look as ugly as possible. Riel, your hammers and armor look too valuable, hide them and wear plain armor. I’ve got to hide my wand too. This sword…”

Before he finished what he was saying, the Dragon King’s Wrath sword suddenly turned dull. The dragon-like scales on the sword became ordinary looking lines. It looked like a regular factory-made sword.

“Seems like I can still use this,” Link said.

The reality was right in front of them. Riel and Princess Milda didn’t argue further and immediately got to work.

Riel’s armor clanked as he took it off and changed into his most ordinary armor. As for his weapons, he took out a large iron hammer from his dimensional bracelet.

“This was the hammer I used when I was training, never thought I’d use it again,” Riel reminisced, moved.

Princess Milda was a woman and still had to care about her modesty. She walked behind a large leaf to change, speedily taking off her outfit.

As this was happening, Link asked the Dragon King’s Wrath sword spirit.

Is this the ancient century?

The sword spirit replied, although a bit hesitant. “It is somewhat similar, but not quite. Do you feel that? The Mana here is thick and bountiful, at least ten times more than on Firuman. It is higher than it was even in my time.”

Link was now a bit confused. Have you heard of the Aragu Empire?

“I’ve heard about it before but I can’t remember clearly.”

There was no point in asking anymore. Link only became more and more confused.

About five minutes later, Princess Milda emerged from behind the grass.

She wore a simple pale green leather armor which looked simple and not very eye-catching. However, upon closer inspection, you would discover that the armor was more than it seemed.

Princess Milda also let down her braided hair, changing to a simple ponytail. Still, it could not hide her beauty, from her light purple eyes and flawless skin, sharp features and her diva like figure.

She simply could not hide her beauty and brilliance. Even if a female goddess dressed in simple clothes, she would still be a female goddess. In fact, it gave her a simple charm.

King Riel shook his head. “No, no, no, Princess Milda, you’ll give us away like this.”

Princess Milda replied in frustration, “This is already the outfit I like the least. There’s nothing worse.”

She was a princess, well-respected by everyone. Every single one of her outfits was worth 100 gold. This was her cheapest set of leather armor, but it was still worth over 50 gold. She simply didn’t own any simple common clothing.

Link also didn’t have any. He was no longer the poor simple Magician from the past. He was the Lord of Ferde, a great Magician. His clothes were similarly top grade.

Riel was the King of the mountains. With that kind of status, how could he wear torn and tattered clothing?

As much as the three of them tried to change into something common, it could not hide the truth from people with keen eyes.

Link also could not do anything about it. “Let’s just go on like this. We’ll try to stay as hidden as possible. We’ll decide what to do when we get to Spring Leaf Village.

In order to avoid danger, the four of them moved inconspicuously, carefully proceeding eastwards.

Fortunately, they didn’t meet any unexpected situations on this journey. After walking for about half a day, they reached a stone wall that was 60 feet high. This entire wall was made out of anti-magic rock. Both sides of the wall were guarded by soldiers. The guards wore seemingly normal battle armor, but they themselves exuded an aura that was exceedingly shocking.

King Riel eyed them, swallowing his saliva. “This is Spring Leaf Village? It has a 60-foot-tall stone wall and such strong guards guarding the city wall!”

He instinctively felt that the soldier could kill him with one slash.

Link could accurately gauge the opponent’s strength. He reported, “Level-8 strength, two of them.”

Riel was beginning to miss the demons in Firuman. At least those demons were a low level and easy to deal with, even though they were numerous beyond compare. He, the King of the Mountains, could barely deal with mountain bandits.

Princess Milda sighed. “We’re just nameless pawns now.”

Even as she sighed, the four of them caught sight of a huge beast. On the beast’s back hung cages filled with people as it swaggered towards Spring Leaf Village.

Link casually glanced over, then blink and focused his gaze once again on one of the cages. “Look, over there. That demon has been captured.”

As they looked over, they found that, indeed, in one particular cage, there was a black-haired young woman hugging her legs as she knelt on the wooden cage floor. Her face was extremely depressed and down-spirited.

Hey, wasn’t that the one that had chased them to death? The demon commander famed for being half a step into the Legendary realm.

“Hmmm…” Riel looked at Link with a serious concerned expression on his face. “There is too many people on the road up ahead. Let’s steal some normal looking clothes. These clothes make me fearful.

This place was really shitty. Just within half a day, they had been eyed by other people more than twice. It was the feeling when a weak young woman walked naked into a pirate den. Just thinking about it was enough to make people too afraid to fight.

Princess Milda’s heart was jumping right out of her chest. “I need to touch up my disguise. This is too dangerous!”

Even a Level-9 demon was captured.

Link nodded his head. “Yes, let’s go steal some clothing.”

…

In the mountain forest

Two halflings appeared, standing around a pile of white powder. One of the Halflings carefully studied the pile of white powder. After a while, he stood up. “This was done by a Magician. They have four people, two male and two female.

“Rohan cannot die in vain. Ollie, report this to the chief. I’m gonna circle around and see if I can get any leads.”

“Okay,” said the other, as he turned and ran into the distance.
