Interspecies Training Manual

Roan walked back to the hall along the corridor.

There were many more people in the lobby than when we first arrived.

Everyone's clothing exuded an air of nobility; even if they weren't nobles, they were probably wealthy slave owners.

But when they questioned the magician, they were all very respectful.

Luo An found the young female mage in the hall.

Tina was writing something with her head down when a young man in a blue robe stood in front of her, saying something.

But her face was expressionless, without even a forced smile, and she showed no interest in what the man was saying.

"Miss Tina, I passed the magician exam..."

Roan walked to the counter and told Tina directly about Luke's request for her to take him to the magic reading room and to collect his robes.

Tina looked rather uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Please wait a moment."

She quickly finished processing the man's power of attorney and then handed it to him.

"Now you can go find a magician who is willing to accept your commission."

Tina got up and walked out from behind the counter.

"Mr. Luo An, please come with me."

After leaving the hall, Tina's slightly hurried steps slowed down considerably.

"What...what rank of mage are you now?"

She glanced at Luo An, breaking the slightly awkward silence.

"Fourth tier".

"Fourth tier?!"

Upon hearing this news, Tina's expression became even more unnatural.

As a noblewoman, she had excellent magic mentors who carefully guided her.

He was also once said to have good magical talent.

After becoming a fifth-tier mage, it took her nearly two years to advance to a fourth-tier mage not long ago.

This is already considered exceptional talent among the younger generation in the territory.

But this Roan from the border farm, who has just become a magician, has already reached the fourth level.

Tina felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

The gap between people is as vast as a chasm.

"Um, I'm sorry. It was my fault earlier. I shouldn't have looked down on you like that. I hope you can forgive my rudeness."

Tina felt a burning pain on her face.

When I saw Luo An, I never imagined that he was here to test his magic power.

She bowed deeply to Luo An, her tone filled with sincere apology.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Tina would have found it hard to believe that someone from such a poor background could have such high magical talent.

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Luo An indeed didn't take it to heart.

Tina's attitude was actually quite calm; her question was uttered out of genuine shock, without any hint of sarcasm.

The people around her said things that were far more unpleasant than what Tina said.

Just now, Roan asked Luke about some things related to magicians.

In the empire, powerful mages sometimes don't even give the highest-ranking nobles a second glance, let alone show any kindness to complete strangers.

The weak are despised, and the strong are revered; this is the most common rule.

Tina straightened up, and seeing that he really didn't seem to care, she quickly introduced herself: "My name is Tina Vickers. The Vickers family is the second most powerful noble family in this territory, after the lord's family."

"Mr. Luo An, if you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me. If there are any suitable requests within the guild, we can cooperate."

She thought Roan was a very promising magician, and it would be good to befriend him.

"If the opportunity arises, we can certainly cooperate."

Luo An noticed the obvious conciliatory tone in Tina's voice, and casually responded without taking it too seriously.

He felt a pang of sadness.

After becoming a fourth-tier mage, he persuaded a noble lady from a prestigious family to lower herself and take the initiative to curry favor with him.

Sure enough, once a person gains power, they will inexplicably have more "friends" around them.

"Miss Tina, let's hurry to the reading room."

After walking through a corridor, the two arrived at the entrance of the magic reading room.

Tina pushed open the door, revealing a spacious room filled with neatly arranged wooden cabinets displaying various magic books.

"Mr. Roan, if you're looking for a spellbook, just ask Lord Linde. I'll go get you your magic robe."

She glanced at Luo An's figure, nodded slightly, and then turned to leave.

Luo An walked to the counter, took out the badge that symbolized his status as a fourth-tier mage, and explained his purpose to the old mage at the front desk.

"Lord Lind, I would like to purchase a C-rank spellbook. Does it contain a transformation spell that can not only grant disguise but also allow one to transform into another race?"

Upon hearing this, Linde's magic surged, and a spellbook flew out from the deep bookshelf and landed nearby.

"The Shapeshifting spell can not only change one's appearance at will, but also adjust one's aura. The duration depends on the amount of magic power. If used well, even ordinary magicians may not be able to detect it. I highly recommend it."

"As for what you said about disguising yourself as an alien race, that's possible, but what kind of disguise you can make, whether it's good or bad, depends on your understanding of alien races."

He gave a brief introduction to the effects of this transformation magic book.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Lind."

This remark did give Luo An a hint.

If you only transform into a goblin but don't imitate it well, you'll easily be exposed if you infiltrate.

I'll need to find some time to observe the goblins when I get back.

Luo An flipped through it casually.

The principle behind this magic is not complicated.

The difficulty in temporarily altering the body's structure using magic lies mainly in the precise control of that magic; otherwise, the disguised appearance will easily become distorted and deformed.

However, for him, precise control of magic was not a problem.

After confirming that the contents of the book met his expectations, Roan asked, "How much does this magic tome cost?"

"The transformation magic is a bit pricey, 700 gold coins."

"The magic book is non-refundable and non-exchangeable after purchase. You'd better think carefully before buying it."

Do you need 7...700 gold coins?

Luo An was shocked by the exorbitant price.

However, considering the urgent need for transformation magic, he had no choice but to harden his heart and hand over a sufficient amount of gold coins.

With this transformation magic book, they will be able to infiltrate the goblins with Celia on the day of the harvest a few days later to obtain useful information.

Having squandered all 700 gold coins, Luo An still had 300 gold coins on him.

He had thought about what he would do next.

If I were to actually meet Elena's sister in the slave market, 300 gold coins should be enough, right?

Luo An put away the magic book and left the reading room.

Tina was already waiting at the door, holding a neatly folded magic robe.

The magic robe was black, with silver six-pointed stars embroidered on the collar and cuffs, and four stars embroidered on the chest, representing the status of a fourth-tier magician.

"Mr. Roan, this is your magic robe."

Tina handed over the robe.

"The magic robe is made of a special fabric that can not only resist a certain degree of attack, but also slightly increase the speed of magic recovery."

Luo An thanked him and put on the clothes.

The magic robe fits perfectly, with just the right amount of looseness.

This robe highlights his identity as a magician, which, in a world that values ​​status and position, makes him much more efficient at getting things done.

It's perfect for the place he's going to next.

"Miss Tina, thank you for showing me the way. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be going now."

Luo An thanked him, quickly crossed the corridor, left the Magic Guild, and headed towards the slave market.

What Roan didn't know was that shortly after he left the Magic Guild, a figure followed him out.

Tina watched the figure hurrying through the street and decided to follow it to see what was going on.
