Chapter 77 (1/1)
It's not easy to disguise your identity. Maybe it's simple for cheese. After all, his body is much thinner. Besides, most people don't think much about the mage's grey robe except for a few who have been in contact with the grey tower. So cheese, whether it's a scholar or a businessman, can't see the problem. The problem lies in the three frost guards. On this point, cheese also consulted the Knights of the royal order. As a result, these upright Knights seriously told the mage that the characteristics of the northerners were very obvious to those outside the Northern Territory. It was impossible to change Elsa's appearance so that others could not recognize her.
However, cheese had no choice but to draw on local materials and prepare a kind of potion which was said to be able to change the skin color. He knew the formula from anlina unintentionally. However, for cheese at that time, he could not understand why Xuejie wanted to treasure this kind of medicine which consumed a lot of materials. For the caster, if he really needs to change his appearance, both transfiguration and illusory tricks are more practical than this potion. But now, since it is impossible for the mage to cast spells on the other three people 24 hours a day, this potion has played an important role.
”How do you feel?” Looking at three people whose faces were about a fifth darker than normal, cheese asked.
”It's not as scary as it looks.” Jack said, pointing to half of the black ointment. At first, when he heard that cheese wanted them to paint this suspicious looking thing on his body, he refused to live or die. Or after the mage repeatedly assured that it was harmless to the human body, he tried to use it.
”I didn't feel the itchy skin you said, so it seems that we don't reject it?” Said Elsa.
The mage once mentioned that the ingredients in this ointment would make some people's skin uncomfortable, so he asked three people to try to apply a little on the small area of skin first, and then let them apply a large area after confirming that there were no side effects. But even so, he didn't dare to be 100% sure about this inexperienced magic drug cheese, so he asked everyone to apply it all and report to him again.
”That's good. This ointment can be made into different colors according to the mixing proportion, but I try to make the color match the skin color of the Knights Said the mage. At the same time, they walked around the three people to see if their skin color changed as they thought.
”Wait, you say this ointment can be mixed in different colors?” Asked the landlady, hearing the cheese.
”Yes, that's one of the few advantages of this thing. Although I don't think it has any practical value, you know, I worked all afternoon to get this ointment. The manufacturing process is too complicated. ” The mage complained.
Elsa and Mona are looking at each other. Although the male cheese and Jack don't think the ointment is valuable, as a woman, this medicine that can affect the skin color and has no side effects is an unimaginable treasure. We should know that in this era, the concept of cosmetics is still an extremely obscure and abstract thing. Although most intelligent creatures have a love of beauty, in this world where the proportion of survival is greater than that of life, even human beings with the largest territory have no mind to put precious research resources on these irrelevant things.
However, no development does not mean that there is no demand. Although fairies such as fairies do not need cosmetics, for other intelligent creatures, especially in the human society with a large number of aristocratic classes, those noble ladies are willing to pay no price for beauty. You know, those noble women even smear mercury powder on their faces before the dance, which is commonly known as mercury, to improve their skin color. However, the toxicity of Mercury will cause irreparable harm to human body, but even so, they will not hesitate. It can be seen that cream, which is regarded as waste by cheese, will send the whole kingdom into madness if it flows into human society. At the moment, Elsa and they simply told cheese about the value of his ointment in other people's eyes. He also suggested that the mage disguised himself as a businessman and enter the Wangdu in the name of selling these ointments.
”I'm sure you just have to take a bottle of this sample, and if any guard dares not let us into the city, he will be trampled into mud by the ladies and ladies of the whole kingdom.” That's what the landlady said to the mage.
However, as a mage, cheese does not lack a way to get money, and Wang Du's entry this time is to keep a low profile. If you sell these ointment as a commodity, you may get considerable profits, but there must be many troubles attracted by this profit. Therefore, although Elsa and they repeatedly stressed the value of this ointment, cheese decided to enter the kingdom of Cang lion as mercenaries.
Speaking of the occupation of mercenary, we can say that it has never been cut off since human beings entered the civilized society. No matter in times of peace or war, whether the emperor in power is wise or mediocre, mercenary as an indispensable part of the world has never changed. Although it seems that mercenary is a kind of profession, in fact, according to the different professional entrustment, the difference between different kinds of mercenaries is not small than that of any occupation. Because of this, the mercenary profession has a wide range of people, and their work range from stealing and stealing to rescuing a country. This makes the identity of mercenaries very convenient. With such an identity, it is not surprising that people are involved in such events. This is also the main reason cheese chose to do so.At the same time, the mage also promised to make some ointment of specified colors for Elsa and Mona in her spare time as a reward for the two. After solving the problem of appearance, they decided on the identity of pretending, and then they prepared their own clothes separately, and they would officially enter the kingdom in the morning. After Jack and Mona get up and leave one after another, cheese looks at the landlady and asks a question he has been trying to ask.
”In a word, commander Jon's instruction to you should be to protect me from the plague of the count. Now theoretically speaking, your task has been completed. Why do they follow me to take such a big risk to go to Wangdu? ”
The landlady said with a smile.
”Fortunately, you didn't ask them this question in person, or they might have left for Longji mountain with their personality. But don't think they didn't realize it, Mona. They just didn't point it out. ”
”Why?” The cheese asked. In his opinion, since the frost guards have finished their task, they should return to the Legion.
”You said that just now? The reason why they want to continue to follow you is very simple. As a legion soldier, they can't leave Longji mountain before the expiration of their service. Even if their service is over, they don't know how much trouble they will encounter if they want to travel all the way from the north to the king. Rather than that, it's better to follow your ride now. On the one hand, it makes sense to grandfather Jon, on the other hand, it can really protect your safety. Do you understand? ” With that, the landlady left in a brisk pace. I can see that she is in a good mood. I don't know whether it's because of the cream of cheese or because she's looking forward to a bigger journey.
It seems that they were infected by the three of them. The mage also felt that the prospect of this plague was not so pessimistic. Although so far for their opponent cheese is still very little, but this does not prevent the mage to feel confident in their own and team-mates' ability. After the whole journey led by the Earl of salon, cheese regained his original state of Longji mountain by looking out of the window. And this time, he doesn't have to go alone, does he?
