Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

After everyone left the city gate, they traveled for about an hour before Xia Jian had them disembark from the carriage.

Xia Jian thought about it carefully and realized that if the lord wanted to capture him, he would definitely follow the main road to find him, and their speed would certainly not be comparable to that of warhorses.

After getting off the carriage, Xia Jian took out clothes for everyone to change into.

Although these clothes are men's clothing, Phyllis bought them for Xia Jian to change into, and they were all clothes that had never been worn.

After all, they are dressed too conspicuously now, and even at night, it is still hard to guarantee that they will not be recognized.

Then Xia Jian stabbed the horse in the rear, and the horse, in pain, galloped away into the distance.

After doing all this, Xia Jian secretly led everyone back into the city.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Instead of chasing the lord's mansion outside, we should change our approach and play a game of hiding in the dark.

Of course, the main reason was that it would be difficult for Xia Jian to escape with Phyllis and the others.

Apart from Leia, Phyllis at least travels frequently. The other two are ordinary people, not to mention that these people are used to a life of luxury, and traveling far away rashly would probably cause big problems.

"Will this really work?"

Johnny looked at the familiar street in front of him and asked Xia Jian with some nervousness.

Because if they were not handled properly, they would all be wiped out, with no chance of escape.

Looking at the nervous Johnny, Xia Jian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but on the surface he still tried to remain calm: "It's okay, what's there to be afraid of? It's precisely at times like these that we need to be unpredictable."

It's all my fault for dragging these people down with me; otherwise, I wouldn't have had to follow him around in hiding.

However, as long as we can get through this period, whether it's until things calm down or until he advances to the intermediate knight level, we'll have a better chance of leaving then.

What surprised Xia Jian was that this family's ability to accept things was truly extraordinary; they didn't even utter a single word of complaint against him along the way.

Johnny, in particular, remained quiet the entire way, except for saying a word.

"Your mother has a house in the old town, let's hide there for now."

Phyllis, who was the pillar of the family, had recovered and began to arrange where everyone would go.

Johnny's family was very poor before he married into the family, and the old town was actually a place where poor people lived.

The old town is quite chaotic, and even the city guards are unwilling to go there, so it's a good place to hide and avoid trouble.

After hearing Phyllis's words, everyone couldn't help but look at Xia Jian again.

Xia Jian nodded: "You're familiar with this place, so let's do as you say."

After all, he had nowhere else to go, so he decided to go and see what was going on first.

Just then, across the street, a group of knights on horseback hurriedly rode toward the city gate.

Upon seeing this, everyone unconsciously wrapped their clothes tighter around themselves and hurried towards the old town.

…………

Before long, the group arrived at the old town that Phyllis had mentioned.

The surrounding area consists of ordinary residential houses, and you can often see drunkards or beggars lying on the roadside.

It's getting late, and there aren't many people on the road.

After walking for a while, the group arrived at a courtyard.

Xia Jian looked at the lock on the door, yanked it off, and then walked into the abandoned hut.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and inside were three small, connected houses, enough for a few people to live in temporarily.

Upon entering the house, one finds it covered in dust and cobwebs, as it has been uninhabited for a long time.

"Please bear with this for now."

Looking at the furnishings in the room, Xia Jian turned around and looked at the four people who looked somewhat haggard, his face full of apology.

"I acted impulsively this time. As long as we get through this danger, I will definitely make your family rise again."

Phyllis waved his hand, forcing a smile: "It's normal for young people to be impulsive, at least we're fine now."

Phyllis didn't question Xia Jian's words, because the kind of pills Xia Jian possessed alone were enough to make a family successful.

The reason he didn't hold it against them was because things had come to this point, and blaming each other was useless.

Although I'm a little reluctant to leave my current life, how can one's life always be smooth sailing?

"To prevent any accidents, write this down. If you use it properly, you'll never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your lives."

Summer took out a piece of paper and handed it to Phyllis.

"This is..." Phyllis's eyes widened as she read the contents of the note.

"These were originally intended for you when I left, but the current situation makes that impossible. Consider this compensation to you."

Xia Jian sighed and said.

The paper contained the formulas for the first and second generation of pills. After all, the Phyllis family had treated him very well, and the pill formulas were worthless to him.

Bringing it out now is meant to reassure these people and prevent them from causing any trouble at this time.

Besides that, there's another point: if something happens, I really will run away alone.

As for Phyllis and the others, it all depends on whether they are lucky enough to survive.

"Actually, you don't have to..."

Phyllis was about to tell Natsumi that she didn't need to do that when Natsumi waved her hand to interrupt her.

"This was my fault, and it's only right that I compensate you."

Upon hearing this, Phyllis said no more.

Everyone was exhausted from all the fuss. Due to limited resources, they simply tidied up their beds and decided to wait until daytime to make further plans.

After all, there are no shops to buy things now, and knocking on doors in the middle of the night is more likely to arouse suspicion.

…………

Summer lay on the hard wooden bed, holding the wizard's notebook she had snatched back from Hiber.

I went through all this trouble just for this notebook, and now that I have it, I'm naturally going to study it. Maybe I can find out the source of the wizard's power from it.

This summer, instead of pondering the meaning of the Motuo script as carefully as before, she only glanced at its contents.

This made the situation much better.

Although I still feel a little unwell, at least I no longer experience dizziness or vomiting.

"What book are you reading? It makes me a little dizzy."

Johnny, who was lying next to Natsume, rubbed his head and asked.

Because the house only had two bedrooms and a living room, Xia Jian, Phyllis, and Johnny shared a room, while Phyllis, exhausted, had already fallen asleep.

"This is a wizard's notebook; the words inside possess special magic, making them inaccessible to ordinary people."

While reading the book, Xia Jian explained to Johnny.

Even someone with his physical condition would feel dizzy, let alone Johnny, who is an ordinary person.

"wizard?"

Johnny raised an eyebrow, equally curious about this mysterious profession.

Just as he was about to force himself to continue reading, an indescribable feeling of nausea welled up inside him, forcing Johnny to look away.

"Never mind, let's go to sleep."

Johnny was quite helpless; as expected, he still didn't have the talent for cultivation.

Perhaps it's true, just as my father said, that I really am a good-for-nothing...
