Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 89: First Kill Gold! Identity Crisis?
It was precisely because he was well aware of the existence of the [Gray Tower] that he regarded Rorschach in front of him as a visitor to the [Gray Tower].

As we all know, wizard apprentices cannot be born in the Gray Realm.

If you can meet a wizard apprentice in the Gray Region, then he must be from the [Gray Tower], and these people are all monsters without exception!

Even the weakest one can barely rival mid-level gold!
Occasionally, there would even be wizard apprentices who were comparable to upper-level gold. They were definitely terrifying figures who could truly influence the situation in the Grey Domain. Even the royal families of the three major empires had to treat such figures as honored guests!

He had no idea who the person in front of him was.

But according to experience, even the weakest person coming out of the [Grey Tower] can barely compete with the middle-level gold!
Ordinary lower-level gold can't make any waves in front of them.

Therefore, after realizing that Rorschach was a wizard's apprentice, he had already lost his fighting spirit, and even his son's safety was no longer important at this moment.

"My dear wizard apprentice, please stop. There must be some misunderstanding here..." Wood, who had lost his fighting spirit, tried to settle the matter peacefully.

But how could Rorschach pay any attention to him? Not only did he not stop, but he took advantage of Wood's distraction and launched another surprise attack!
"Actually, I didn't come out of the Gray Tower, and I'm not as powerful as you think." One of Rorschach's hands had already passed through Wood's chest, and the other hand was covering Wood's head as usual.

Winning or losing often happens in a split second!

If Ah Dai hadn't been there, he could only be undefeated in a one-on-one fight with Wood, but with Ah Dai's help he could suppress Wood.

But the reason why Wood was able to be dealt with so quickly was that Wood recognized him as a wizard's apprentice and his mind was in chaos. Otherwise, it would have been a fierce battle.

As for Wood's soul, he would certainly not miss it. This was the first gold-level one he had killed personally. Even if there were a lot of tricks involved in the process, it was also part of the battle.

not far away.

Seeing that Rorschach had killed a gold-level warrior so easily, the reactions of the people were different.

"My Lord is mighty!" Abel's expression became more fanatical.

He didn't think it was unexpected that his master Rorschach killed a gold-level player, but Rorschach's growth rate really shocked even him!

He knew Rorschach's previous strength. Not to mention the gold level, he wouldn't be able to fight even against a silver level like Perez.

How long has it been?

Facing the Lord of Biluo City, Wood, who had forced him to flee everywhere, Rorschach didn't seem to be fighting seriously at all, but he had already defeated him.

This is really shocking!

"Oh my god, Brother Xianyu is cheating!" Jin Kara was also shocked, looking in the direction of Rorschach with some disbelief.

He had come all the way with Rorschach and thought he had a relatively good understanding of Rorschach's strength, but now it seems that he was too naive.

As for Martin, he was completely speechless.

Even if he had no access to truly valuable information, he understood what the gold level meant in the Gray Domain, not to mention for the Replacers.

The gentleman just now looked so approachable, but he killed a senior golden knight of the Storm Empire with just one move!

That’s the Lord of Biluo City!

This person, even if you look at the entire Storm Empire, is considered a big shot, but he is still vulnerable in front of that adult.

Martin felt a surge of excitement just thinking about it!

As for little David... he still didn't pay much attention to it, because he had asked Dabai to play hide-and-seek with Wood several times before. In his eyes, Wood was not scary, because he would be the target of Dabai's teasing anyway.

……

Wood's death was discovered by other pursuers from the Sith family almost half a day after Rorschach and his companions left, which immediately caused an uproar!

No one had ever thought that the Lord of Biluo City would die in such an inexplicable way.

He was clearly just chasing a new priest of the Paradise Church, how could he be killed here so easily?

However, the Sith family is not completely clueless, because they found a clue, which should have been left by Wood before his death.

There are only three words in total, and it looks like they haven't been finished yet - salted fish, gray.

Salted fish?

The people of the Sith family had never heard of any strong man in the Storm Empire with this name, but judging from the clues left by Wood alone, he was most likely killed by a guy named Salted Fish.

Even if it's not a name, it could be a code name.

As for the unfinished word at the end, there are too many possibilities to even begin to guess.

Originally, the Sith family wanted to keep the news secret, because Wood's death was absolutely terrible news for the Sith family.

However, even though they wanted to hide it, their opponents would not agree.

The Sith family is not a monolithic group, and the news soon fell into the hands of those with ulterior motives.

The Sith family is not the only one with gold-level members in charge of Biluo City. The reason why the Sith family was able to control Biluo City was that there was more than one gold-level member in the family. However, with the death of Wood, the situation changed instantly.

The news of Wood's killing was quickly spread by their rival family, including the information that the person who killed Wood was named Xianyu.

……

Mountain capital.

Perez was walking in the Pound family's territory with a gloomy face, feeling very irritable.

He hasn't been this upset in a long time.

Since he came to the Gray Domain, he has been going smoothly, and he has also squeezed into the family's elder council as a collateral descendant. Although he is only a reserve, he is also a reserve elder of the Pound family!
On the Blue Water Star, he is also the Eight-Winged Envoy of the Wings of Freedom. Wherever he goes, people greet him with smiles and he enjoys a high status.

But just because of such a small thing, he was sentenced to one year of solitary confinement and had to compensate that damn cultist!

It would be strange if he wasn't depressed.

As he walked through the family meeting room, the gossip inside suddenly attracted him because he vaguely heard the word "salted fish".

He had just been tricked and was at his most sensitive to this name. He immediately walked over and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"They are talking about the murder of the Lord of Biluo City." A tribesman replied.

"The Lord of Biluo City? Is he the one on the northern border?" Perez asked after thinking for a moment.

"That's the one." Another member of the tribe replied, "The murdered Wood Sis was not only the lord of Biluo City, but also the patriarch of the Sis family. I didn't expect such a gold-level expert to die in such an inexplicable way."

"How did he die?" Perez asked curiously.

"We are not sure of the specific circumstances. We heard that his young son was kidnapped by a new priest of the Church of Bliss, and he chased after the priest all the way to rescue his son. Later, we are not sure what happened. Anyway, he was killed. The murderer seemed to be called Xianyu." The man in front shrugged.

“Salted fish?!”

Perez was shocked!
He didn't expect to hear this name again, and it would be because of this situation!
Kill the gold level, seriously?

In fact, he didn't believe that the person who killed the Lord of Biluo City, Wood, would be the salted fish he had seen before, but this name was rare in the Gray Domain, and even if there was one, it would be an ordinary person. How could there be a gold-level person with this name?

Unwilling to give up, he immediately asked, "Do you know what happened to the cultist who kidnapped the young son of the Lord of Biluo City?"

"I don't know." One of the tribesmen said, "But if you are curious, you can check the wanted list. Because the Paradise Church specifically claimed responsibility for the last incident, the new priest is also on the wanted list."

Upon hearing this, Perez thanked him and left in a hurry.

When he opened the Storm Empire wanted poster and flipped through the pages, he saw a familiar name:

The new second-level priest of the Paradise Church—Abel!
"How could it be..." Perez stood there.

It was unbelievable that Abel could advance to the third level of Gods Walking so quickly and become a second-level priest of the Paradise Church. But compared with the salted fish who killed the Lord of Biluo City, it seemed not so difficult to accept. After all, the latter killed a real gold-level!
He knew that he was in big trouble.

But he didn't intend to just sit there and wait for death.

……

The name of Salted Fish soon spread throughout the Storm Empire.

Even the Red Flame Empire and the Titan Empire, although they did not take the record of killing a lower-level gold warrior seriously, they had heard of it to some extent.

However, compared to the sensation this news caused in the circle of substitutes, the overall reaction of the Storm Empire was nothing, because this news was too sensational for the substitutes!

Especially for those who had just heard the gossip about Xianyu, this news seemed even more exciting. However, what happened next once again exceeded many people's expectations.

I don’t know where it started from, but suddenly a piece of gossip spread quickly - the true identity of Xianyu is an evil spirit from another world!
Everyone realized that someone had overturned the table!
For a displacer, the biggest fear is being discovered to be a displacer, so even if displacers meet each other in the Gray Zone, most of the time they will choose to hide their true identity in the Gray Zone.

What I am afraid of is being controlled by the other party, after all, human hearts are treacherous.

Only those who are very familiar with each other or are members of the same organization will lower their vigilance slightly in this regard.

But something like this, where the table is overturned so openly, has never happened before. This is really the first time.

Although no one knows what Xianyu's gray domain identity is, and it is just a code name, Xianyu has just killed a gold-level strongman and is already at the center of controversy.

The gossip was intended to take advantage of this momentum and quickly spread throughout the Storm Empire, letting everyone know that the so-called salted fish was an evil spirit from another world!
In that case, once Xianyu reveals any clues, he will be attacked immediately!
Even if Xianyu really possesses gold-level strength, he would still fall flat on his face facing this situation.

However, this behavior of overturning the table is undoubtedly a big taboo.

All parties were furious after learning about this, and even made up their minds to dig out the person behind the scenes after the replacement was completed!
This kind of taboo, no matter who does it, will inevitably arouse public outrage among all the replacements!

……

"Shit, this is bad, Brother Xianyu!" Jin Kara rushed back from the hotel and sat opposite Rorschach.

At this time, their group of five were on their way to the Storm Capital.

They were passing through a small town and planned to stop and rest for a day. Jin Kara originally didn't know what he was going to do, but he returned soon after.

"Don't make a fuss. Just say what you want to say." Rorschach said calmly.

"I don't know who spread the news that Brother Xianyu is an evil spirit from another world, and this news quickly spread throughout the Storm Empire. I'm afraid even the Storm Royal Family knows about it." Jin Kara said quickly.

"Is that it?" Rorschach did not seem anxious.

"Isn't this urgent enough?" Jin Kara was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. "You don't think I'm talking nonsense, do you? I can assure you that my information channel is correct. This is true!"

"I don't doubt your intelligence." Rorschach shook his head.

Jin Kara just went out, obviously to visit the Demon Spirit Society's spy in this small town, probably wanting to get the latest information.

Even Su Xueqi had this kind of channel before, so how could Jin Kara, the young master of the Demon Spirit Society, not have it?

So Rorschach did not doubt the authenticity of the information he had just obtained.

"Why are you so calm? I know you are very strong now, and you can even kill gold-level monsters, but once your identity as an alien evil spirit is confirmed, you will not be able to face just the Lord of Biluo City!"

Jin Kara felt like the eunuch was anxious when the emperor was not. "Is the offspring of the evil god strong? But look at the endings of those offspring of the evil god. Which one of them had a happy ending? Two fists can't beat four hands after all, Brother Xianyu!"

Jin Kara gave earnest advice, and he was indeed worried about Rorschach from the bottom of his heart.

But Rorschach remained calm, raised his hand and pressed twice to signal Jin Kara not to rush, then chuckled and said:
"Xianyu has been exposed. What does it have to do with me, Rorschach?"

"Uh...it seems it doesn't really matter." Jin Kara was completely silent after hearing this.

For a moment, he suddenly began to doubt his own IQ.

He felt that Rorschach had been exposed because he knew that Xianyu was Rorschach, but the problem was that other people didn't know that Rorschach was Xianyu!

Wouldn't it be fine as long as Rorschach no longer appears as a salted fish?

Seeing Jin Kara no longer anxious, Rorschach smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry about me. If you are really bored, just go out for a walk. Even if we have to go out again, it will be at least tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow morning." Jin Kara nodded, got up and left.

Looking at Jin Kara's departing back, the smile on Rorschach's face gradually faded, and his expression became a little solemn!

Abel naturally noticed the change in Rorschach's demeanor, and asked respectfully, "My Lord, are you worried that your relationship with me will be discovered, thus exposing your identity as a salted fish?"

"This is of course a possibility of exposure, but that's not what I'm thinking about." Rorschach shook his head.

He had previously told Jin Kara that he would never be exposed, which did make sense, but it was not absolute.

Admittedly, not many people know that he is Xianyu, and most of them are familiar substitutes.

Apart from the two servants, Abel and Su Xueqi, there were only Jin Kara and his old butler Pitt, and at most the first gentleman Depp.

If these people wanted to trick him, they could just reveal Rorschach's identity directly. There was no need to use the code name Xianyu to trick him.

But when he thought about it carefully, there was indeed a loophole...that was Lindsay!

When Rex asked Lindsay to protect him, he met Jin Kara once. At that time, Jin Kara called him Brother Salted Fish!

This may not be the only loophole, but it is the most fatal one!

Because Lindsay is with Rex right now!
If this news did get to Lindsay, would he not mention it to Rex?
This possibility is not very high.

Rorschach put himself in Lindsay's shoes and thought that if he were Lindsay, he would probably remind Rex if he encountered this situation.

Therefore, Rex must know that he is the salted fish. In addition, Rex also knows that Abel is his knight squire. As long as he casually verifies the previous and subsequent information, he can be sure that he and the salted fish are the same person.

In this situation, he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

In other words, he has actually been exposed!
He now has two choices.

One is to stay away from the Storm Capital and never see Rex again, change his identity and hide himself first. Anyway, his future is very clear.

As long as Rex doesn't see him, he can't be sure whether he is the so-called alien evil spirit, and he may even suspect that someone is framing him.

Once he reaches the gold level and his wizard apprentice level is raised, he will then find a way to go directly to the wizarding world on the other side of the [Gray Tower].

The other was to continue heading to Storm Capital to reunite with Rex, betting that Rex believed in him unconditionally and would never doubt him... However, even he himself felt that the possibility of this was pitifully low.

"Unless we can think of a solution, we definitely can't go back and give ourselves up." Rorschach decided to stay put for now.

The only thing he was worried about now was whether something unexpected would happen to Su Xueqi, because if Rex really suspected that he was the so-called alien evil spirit, would he also doubt Su Xueqi?
Logically speaking, it seems possible.

But Su Xueqi is now with Rex. Even if he wants to pass the information to Su Xueqi through Jin Kara's channels, it will probably be several days later.

If something really had to happen, it would have happened by then.

So this method is not reliable.

"We can only wait and see the situation before making a decision." After thinking it over, Luo Xia decided to just sit back and wait and see how the situation would develop.

At the same time, he temporarily stopped his journey to the Storm Capital and chose to hide in this small town for a few days.

Almost on the fourth day after Jinkla brought this information to Rorschach, the voice of the Spirit of Origin finally sounded, heralding the end of this replacement.
