Chapter 8 I didn't expect you to be such a person!

It was noon, and Liticia, in casual clothes, was still working quietly in front of the loom. Her long brown-black hair was tied up high. If it weren't for the small pointed ears unique to the elves, she looked no different from a beautiful young human woman. Behind her, the old house exuded a faint smell of food, and on the round wooden table in the restaurant, some cooking dishes were covered - it was like a scene of a wife waiting for her husband to return late.

Sudden……

With a loud "bang", the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Su Wen, who was sweating, rushed into the house in a flash and then plunged straight into his room.

"Litsisia, no one is allowed to come in until night!"

He hurriedly threw down a sentence and the door of the room was closed heavily.

Then everything returned to peace.

Liticia did not answer, and her hands were still pressed on the textile cloth, as if she was completely indifferent to Su Wen's return, or she directly ignored him. However, compared to before, her tendons were slightly tight, and she obviously had to work too hard...

...

Su Wen was not idle when he entered the room. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and finally found gauze and bandaged him simply. When he applied ointment on his palm and wrapped it like a mummy, there was already a mess of blood on the ground - the rat man's knife was really cruel. Su Wen swears that half of the sweat beads on his forehead were because he endured the severe pain in his hands.

After doing this, Su Wen took out the jade-like wrist guard from his pocket, washed the blood stains on his hands with water, and placed it on the table to observe quietly.

"It's indeed the work of the elves!"

When he first got this handguard, Su Wen only found many carving marks on it, but he had no time to observe it carefully at that time. Now, he found that the carvings on the wrist guard are more than "many". Under the magnifying glass, Su Wen even felt that even the five-meter-high carving stone tablet on the central avenue of Trides City may not be much more carved than on this wrist guard. The intricate hollowing makes the entire wrist guard look like a huge "hive", and the mutual cooperation and interlacing between the "hives" form three-dimensional, very beautiful inscriptions.

Su Wen judged that such a complex and sophisticated project is of high quality even among the elves, and it may take several years for an excellent elves to draw.

Thirty thousand gold coins? Fifty thousand gold coins?

Su Wen looked at the wrist guard and felt that his eyes were full of shining gold coins.

No matter what, I definitely made a fortune this time! Although I lost more than 2,000 exchange points, even the dagger worth 10,000 gold coins last night was quite tempted by the price of 4,000 points. It is conceivable how much he made this time. Su Wen even began to consider whether he should go to the underground auction house to buy a reliable combat maid first, and then release the half-elf girl who can only roll her eyes now?

Well, no further ado!

Just like before, Su Wen opened the wardrobe and then took out an extremely wide dark gray robe from the bottom. And the moment this seemingly simple robe was taken out, a faint elemental pressure quickly permeated every corner of the room, as if a powerful magician was standing in the center of the room, making it difficult to breathe - even Su Wen, who was holding the robe, breathing became a little heavy.

"The robe of the disguiser: excellent quality, magic defense 17-23, physical defense 0-1, low equipment strength, enchantment: the breath of the elder (high-level. When worn, it will emit a pressure equivalent to a high-level magician, causing others to mistakenly evaluate the wearer's identity. The pressure caused by the enchantment has no effect on the wearer.); voice change (intermediate. It causes the wearer's voice to undergo a greater change and deeper.)"

This may be the only enchanting prop that Su Wen did not exchange for gold coins. On the one hand, it is because there may not be many people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of prop that dies when they see the light. On the other hand, Su Wen has the reason to have to leave it behind - he needs an identity that can shock people, otherwise only those valuable magical instruments can make him lose his life. Trides City is indeed well-known for its public security throughout the Northern Continent, but after all, it cannot be as clean and flawless as in fairy tales.

Soon, Su Wen put on the robe.

Sure enough, as introduced by the attributes, Su Wen looked completely different after wearing it: at this time he was more like a strong man full of murderous aura, and when he slowly pulled down the wide hood behind the robe and covered his appearance, there was a bit of mystery in this murderous aura - no matter who it is, he would never associate him with the "Shame of Trides".

Then……

Su Wen carefully put away the elf wrist guard, opened a secret door in the corner of the room, and quietly entered, leaving only the empty and quiet room.

After passing through a narrow tunnel several kilometers long, Su Wen was still dizzy even though there were several vents in the middle to ensure breathing. This was a hill two kilometers away from Trides City, surrounded by intricate trees and bushes. Since it had no value for hunting and cutting, no one would notice this at all. Although he didn't know why the owner of his broken house left such a secret passage that went straight to the outside of the city, it did help Su Wen many times. At least he didn't have to worry about appearing at the door of his home as he is now.

"Cough...cough!"

Su Wen coughed twice, and after discovering that the disguiser's robe was working properly and his voice sounded like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, Shi Shi walked out of the woods and walked slowly towards Trides City.

——

After all, there has been no war in almost two hundred years. The walls of Trides have long lost their blood and majesty as before. Even the dirty moat is filled with sewage from the sewer. But it has to be admitted that the outer wall, which is as high as fifty meters, still looks extremely grand, especially the magic cannons at the top of the city tower that have long become decorations, seem to tell their past glory.

However, the city gate, which is not very lively on weekdays, has experienced serious congestion today. The long convoy even lined up one kilometer away. At their turtle-like speed, Su Wen even felt that if it was not included, the carriage with the sign of the Chamber of Commerce at the end might have to be queued until evening...

Has something big happened?

Su Wen, who was neither carriage nor carriage, naturally did not need to line up obediently. He walked along the congested convoy to the city gate, and then saw a huge roadblock that had just been set up at the city gate, as well as a large group of soldiers guarding the city of Trides who were strictly inspecting each carriage entering the city. Even among these soldiers, Su Wen saw several figures from the Sword of Judgment.

Sure enough, something happened. Recalling his encounter in the sewer not long ago, Su Wen felt that there might be some connection between the two - even he could easily meet the Death Mage in the sewer. Although it might be just an accident under the guidance of the system, if the official of Trides City could not detect anything abnormal, then they would have been in power in this city for hundreds of years in vain.

However, for Su Wen, this may not be any good news.

"Please... please show your proof of identity."

A young soldier noticed Su Wen in front of the city gate. He first stepped forward with his head raised and his sword, but when he approached him, he suddenly discovered an abnormality - this was probably a magician he could never afford to offend. Therefore, when the soldier spoke, his voice became a little trembling.

Su Wen, who was observing the distance, turned his head and looked at the soldier coldly with his eyes hidden in his hood.

"Do you want to stop me?"

Su Wen asked calmly.

But when the sound reached the soldier's ears, the soldier's hair stood up.

He hurriedly explained: "No... No, sir! There have been several cases of missing children in the city in the past two days, so we received orders that the identities of the people entering the city must be strictly investigated... Please understand more!"

"Oh, I have nothing to do with these cases, so can I go in?"

"Please show your identity proof...we, we must record it before we can let you into the city!"

OK, the question is back.

Su Wen looked at the city guard soldier who was frightened by the elemental pressure and sweated heavily, but at the same time he was responsibilities. He really had no choice but to do anything to him. He couldn't force himself to break through. He was not a real high-level magician.

However, just as Su Wen was considering how to deal with it, a calm female voice suddenly came not far away.

"Let him in. As far as I know, no high-level magician has the habit of carrying his identity certificate with him."

Su Wen was extremely grateful for the pleasant sound of the rescue, but when he looked up, he found that the person who spoke was actually a female knight wearing thick and bright silver armor. The sword of judgment held by the knight was very familiar with Su Wen, and the face full of justice had been seen countless times - she was one of the knights of the sword of judgment, a high-level knight who was replaced by a fake one, Gorry Stein.

"cough……"

Su Wen admitted that he was a little panicked.

If he had any concerns about anyone in Trides City, then the first person to be the female knight who had taken him to prison dozens of times must have been the one who had been in danger.

However, of course, he did not forget his current identity.

"I think we've seen it before."

Su Wen looked at Golistein quietly and then spoke.

Yes, he said nothing wrong. He did have contacted Golistein as he is now, but the situation that time was a bit special.

When Golistein heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly smiled slightly, and the seriousness and calmness that had just hung on his face disappeared: "Is it... yes? I thought you had forgotten that time."

There was a hint of shyness in his words.

Su Wen nodded quietly, but was creepy by the smile in his heart and secretly said "tsk".

He thought to himself, are humans all animals that bully the weak and fear the strong? Even high-level knights like Gregorystein cannot avoid the common sense: they smile when they see a high-ranking magician with a noble status, and when they meet Su Wen, who is not even as good as a magic apprentice, they look like a fierce and evil look, and often put the sword on his neck to threaten - indeed, they have looked up to this female knight who is on the surface before.

Of course, Garystein didn't know what Su Wen was slandering. She waved her hand to support the young soldier away, and then asked the gray-robed mage in front of her with hope, "Mr. Tasuri, this time you come to Trides City, can you stay for a while before leaving? I have something... well, I want to discuss it with you."

Have you started to get close?

Su Wen didn't want to have too much contact with this terrible guy, so he shook his head decisively.

"I'm sorry, I'll leave after finishing my work."
