Chapter 4 Magic

In the next few days, Yiming kept asking Lawrence for the customs and common sense that ordinary people should master. He did not specifically hide his and Mayali's ignorance about the world. After all, even if he wanted to disguise, he would soon reveal his feelings. It would be better to ask questions directly. Although there are many questions, if Lawrence is really a smart person, then he should know the intention of Yiming to do so. It is obvious that Lawrence is very cooperative in this regard. As a travel merchant, he deeply understands what to ask, what not to ask, what to know, what to know, what not to know, what not to know. What's more, Yiming and Mayali have used their strength to prove to him that they are not just a simple little devil. With Lawrence's experience and vision, it can be seen that they must have killed people! And they have killed a lot!

A person who dares to kill people has shown that their hearts are different from those ordinary people. Even though Yiming is quite gentle and understanding now, Mealley looks like a noble lady with good education and good character, deep down they have no scruples about killing people. In the previous battle with the Sand Thieves, Lawrence has seen it very clearly.

It is better not to treat such people as fools.

However, Lawrence is a knowledgeable travel businessman. From him, Yi Ming and the others not only learned about the brave deeds of the savages in the north, but also heard about the absurd wasteful history of the rich people in the south. The barbaric and cruelty of the Western nations, the pride and complacency of the inland imperial people, etc.... According to different places and different habits, this will be successful. But what surprised Yi Ming and the others even more was that in addition to humans, Lawrence even had a few small businesses with the elves, dwarves, and even the dragons!

However, there will be dragons in this world...

Yiming and Mayalie looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It seemed that they had really come to a great place.

However, there is another thing that puzzles Yi Ming the most.

"Is magic a very ordinary existence in this world?"

"magic?"

Lawrence put down the water bag and wiped the corner of his mouth. He just told Yiming and Mayali about his journey with a magician ten years ago. Although it was just a very ordinary period, it was not just a matter of saving the world or hunting the demon king, but it was enough to be a target for Lawrence to brag about. After all, in this world, there were not many opportunities for ordinary people to get close to the magician. Even those guys rubbed on it with shameless faces, they were easily ignored. Moreover, the magicians were arrogant and basically had no chance of walking with others. So it was not surprising that they became the subject of Lawrence's bragging.

"Magic is very common, but those magicians are rare. Of course, if you want to see magic tricks, then you can go to the tavern to see the bards singing, dancing and doing some tricks. But if it is those powerful magic, you have to see the real magician. That power is really......Oh, forget it, it's better not to mention it. Like my little princess, she is clamoring to be a magician every day. As a father, I have to spend money. Being a magician is not an easy thing...... Then again, isn't Miss Meyale's so-called "ability" just a kind of magic? And the sword you summoned?"

"this…………"

Yi Ming thought for a moment, then replied with a smile.

"Maybe it can be regarded as a kind of 'magic'."

In fact, let alone those abnormal abilities that are born with, if you just talk about that sword, it can indeed be regarded as a kind of magic. It was not created by Yi Ming's ability, but the product they accidentally met a secluded man during their escape. At that time, Yi Ming and others were desperately chased by the government army, and it was that person who helped them escape the pursuit of the government army. Soon Yi Ming and others learned that the man himself was also isolated from the world because of his research on something that was considered absurd by the public. He hated those humans quite a bit, so he helped Yi Ming and others.

"We are all disgusted by others and incompatible with human society. Those weak people are afraid of our power, so they try to erase us. Don't escape your own power, conquer all the weak and force them to kneel in front of you."

This is the original words of the professor, and in fact, what he was studying, even from the perspective of a psychic, is enough to be said to be incredible.

What the professor was studying was "magic".

As a parting gift, Yi Ming and each member of their team got a weapon that suited their personal style created by the professor. This weapon was constructed of a special rune gold thread, attached to the human body in a tattoo-like form. Therefore, it was called "rune armed". In fact, Yi Ming and Mei Yali did not understand the principle of forming "rune armed forces", and the professor did not mean to explain to them. In his words, he had specialized in his profession, and he did not understand how the abnormal abilities of Yi Ming and others worked, and he was also lazy to let Yi Ming and the others understand the principle of forming magic. It has to be said that during his dealing with this professor, Yi Ming had fully understood that the other party was an extreme and weird person.

Could it be that the magician in this world is also a weird person like that professor...

"But, Mr. Lawrence, you are actually married."

Yi Ming did not continue asking, but changed the subject. After all, Lawrence is a travel businessman and has very limited knowledge. It seems that he can only stop here.

"yes."

Lawrence waved another whip and whipped heavily on the camel beast, his expression looking a little painful.

"My little princess is not in good condition. Her mother died of illness when she was three years old... At that time, I was still doing business outside. If my neighbor hadn't found out that she was holding my wife's body and crying......"

Lawrence choked for a moment, then shook his head.

"I also have a responsibility. I have been working as a travel merchant for years. I have no money and can't afford to open my own shop. If I want to support my wife and children, I can only do this... But it's already a thing of the past. Now my little princess has entered the magician academy that she longs for the most. Maybe my family will have a big magician in the future."

Perhaps because he noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lawrence finally changed his tone and said to the two with a smile.

(I hope your daughter can dream come true.)

"No problem. Although my little princess looks very naughty, she can still get serious when she should be serious. As long as she has the determination, becoming a magician must not be a problem... Ah, speaking of it, we can walk out of this desert in two days. I wonder what are your plans?"

"Will it be in two days...?"

Yi Ming's expression became solemn, while Mei Yali turned her beautiful two-color pupils and calmly made suggestions.

(Since that's the case, we must be more vigilant. Perhaps those sand thieves will come to attack us again in the past two days.)

"No maybe…..."

Yi Ming's mouth was slightly raised, but it was not a smile.

"Those guys will definitely come back."

The three continued to move forward, but this time Yiming and Mealli both held the weapons in their hands. They sat on both sides of the camel cart and carefully watched the sandy dunes. The wind and sand were very strong today, and in just a short while, everyone was blown to pieces. Even Mealli was no exception, but fortunately the small parasol in her hand played some role. But despite this, it was not easy for a girl to endure these things.

"Mr. Lawrence, I'll ask you, what kind of goods are you transporting?"

Yi Ming's gaze swept through the vast sand dunes and asked casually.

"Tear of Water Spirit, a unique gem in the southern waters, is the most suitable thing to make a magician's wand... This is a rare big business for me. If I can do it this time, it will be no problem to earn five or six thousand gold coins." Speaking of our business, Lawrence suddenly became energetic. "Two, you probably don't know. Don't look at the magicians who have a dead face all day long, as if everyone owes him tens of thousands of gold coins. If it weren't for us merchants fighting to the death, they would pick up rotten wood and cast spells. Alas, why aren't that? If the farmers hadn't planted food, wouldn't the magicians starve to death? I really can't figure out why they were so..."

"Someone."

Yiming's warning interrupted Lawrence's complaint that was off topic. He immediately stopped the camel car, narrowed his eyes and looked towards Yiming. Although Meialie didn't say anything, the parasol in her hand closed with a "bang" and then changed into a slender sword. At the same time, he focused on the opposite direction to prevent someone from striking the east and attacking from behind.

“…………………… don’t look like a sand thief.”

Lawrence rubbed his eyes again, then squinted his eyes and looked. The weather in the desert today was not very good, both above and below, and it was quite difficult to see personal figures. And what Yiming saw was several vague shadows. However, these people seemed to be slow to act, not as quick and quick as the sand thieves they encountered before. But it might also be the other party's tricks. After all, the sand thieves' tricks did not play the role they deserved in the previous battles, so it is hard to say whether they would come up with any new tricks.

"I'll go over and see, you're here."

Yi Ming only thought for a moment and made up his mind. No one raised any objections to his suggestion. Mayalie was his subordinate in the previous world, and Lawrence himself was not easy to take risks, even if it was really a trap, Yi Ming would be more likely to escape from it. There were too many people, but it would be a burden.

(Be careful.)

"Don't worry, I will protect myself."

Facing the silent reminder of Mayali in his mind, Yi Ming smiled slightly, then he carried Xuanyuan in his hand and walked towards the blurry figures.

The wind mixed with yellow sand hit Yi Ming's face. He carefully prepared, and at the same time, he gently moved his right hand to activate his ability. Then in an instant, Yi Ming disappeared into the air as if he was swallowed by wind and sand. But then he appeared again, as if Yi Ming had never disappeared just now. But if someone with good eyesight, then they could see that the wind and sand "passed" through Yi Ming's body, continuing to move forward like an obstacle that he did not originally exist on the road.

This is one of Yiming's most abilities - "light manipulation". With this ability, Yiming can reflect, absorb, control the illumination and angle of light at will, or let them disappear completely. What he did just now is just the re-application of optical camouflage technology. Refracting and projecting the "self" originally produced by light irradiation creates virtual phenomena that are almost the same as that of a real person. In a sense, this is also a very powerful stealth technique. Relying on this ability, Yiming can deceive everyone's vision - the premise is that he can see it.
