This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Soon, they arrived at the tall city wall of Ampollet.

When the soldiers guarding the gate and the tax collector saw the old man holding a pipe and with a sloppy look, they immediately stood up straight and greeted him respectfully, "Hello, sir."

Then he asked those who were queuing to enter the city to make way and invited him to go in first.

Ye Yiyi and his companions also enjoyed this special treatment.

Not only do you not have to queue, you don't even have to pay the entrance fee.

Although some people in the queue had some complaints, they were all newcomers to the city. As for the locals who were familiar with the old man's sloppy appearance, they had complicated expressions.

There was disgust, helplessness, and gratitude in their eyes. Of course, more people just pretended not to see him.

This reaction naturally caught the attention of Ye Yiyi and Alice.

"It seems that the people here have complicated feelings towards the Dragon Cult's bishop." Ye Yiyi thought to himself, and suddenly saw the signboard behind the city gate.

Two pieces of parchment were posted in a prominent place on the notice board. One of them depicted a tall man wearing black mercenary leather armor with a giant sword slung behind him.

The other painting shows a woman with short hair wearing a windbreaker.

"Look."

He quietly nudged Alice with his arm, motioning her to look at the sign.

Alice narrowed her eyes and then commented.

“It’s an ugly painting.”

Hearing the sound, the old bishop glanced back, exhaled a puff of smoke, and shook his head.

"You mean that? I heard that those two not only killed a lord in Lupe Castle, but also killed the lord's only son. There are wanted posters for them in many places here."

Ye Yiyi and Alice looked at each other silently, and then heard the old man ask again.

"Come to think of it, I haven't asked you two's names yet."

"My name is Oscar." Ye Yiyi said, "As for her, her name is Sirius."

Alice stroked the mask ring on her ring finger with a smile on her face, but rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that if it wasn't for hiding her identity, she would not be willing to change this alias.

Isn't Griffith a nice name?

That’s right, Ye Yiyi and Alice are not acting in their true colors now.

Thanks to the suggestion of the bishop of Lupeburg, the two changed their identities on the road and hid their true appearance.

This is also thanks to the mask magic ring that Ye Yiyi got from Wang Jiang's workshop.

On the way to Ampollet, he used the holy tablet he encountered on the way to max out his proficiency in the mask ring that could change his appearance.

He then obtained a magic called [Phantom Mask].

Phantom Mask

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 28

Required intelligence: 38

Item Description: One of the high-level concealment magics taught by Zhige in the Magic Hall.

Able to change appearance, including race, and present a false face.

But it is impossible to disguise the face and behavior of the opposite sex.

It is said that in the past, some spies changed their appearances.

Completely abandon the identity of a magician,

Thus escaped the Great Hunt.

To Ye Yiyi's surprise, the mask ring could only change one's appearance, but this magic could disguise not only one's appearance but even one's race.

When experimenting with magic, Ye Yiyi tried to transform into the cat-man he had seen before, so that Alice could identify the flaws.

The final conclusion is: This is indeed the high-level concealment magic of the Concealment Palace. It is impossible to distinguish the true from the false with the naked eye without other means.

So after the two of them discussed it, Ye Yiyi became what he is now, using the pseudonym Oscar.

The mask ring was used by Alice to disguise herself as another person and use the alias Sirius.

This is also the reason why the two of them were not harassed along the way.

After all, Ye Yiyi had not expected that the State Religious Review Council would ignore the opposition of the Fire Sparrow Monastery and the Hunting God Church and forcibly list them both as wanted criminals.

It seems that the noble groups of the Fire Sparrow Flower Kingdom are determined to use Ye Yiyi as an excuse to confront the Fire Sparrow Monastery and the Hunting God Church.

Ye Yiyi didn't have any special opinion about this, because as early as when he was in the Principality of Ritter, he had anticipated this scene in the future.

Gus's identity was prepared for this purpose.

Having said that, Ye Yiyi will sooner or later settle accounts with these feudal landlords who always cause trouble for others.

"Oscar and Sirius?"

As expected, the old bishop did not notice anything unusual and nodded in understanding.

"I'm Aidan. You can call me Aidan or Old Man. Of course Old Man Aidan is better, but just don't call me Bishop Aidan."

"Why?" Alice asked curiously.

Aidan blew a smoke ring and rolled his eyes.

"Because this is Ambrose, the parish of the Firefinch Monastery. Although we don't follow the rules of the believers, we are still a religious order in their eyes.

"Calling yourself a bishop in someone else's diocese, are you preparing to start a religious war against the Fire Sparrow Monastery?"

"Ahem, but you're already preaching in someone else's parish." Ye Yiyi couldn't help but complain.

"Uh……"

The old man held his pipe tightly, his eyes darting around, his face clearly showing guilt: "If no one saw it and no one found out, it doesn't count as a rumor...it doesn't count as a rumor."

Alice covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing.

"Well! You're right... I think those soldiers and tax officials seem to respect you quite a lot." Ye Yiyi smiled and changed the subject.

The old man snorted disdainfully and puffed out two streams of white smoke from his nostrils.

"Before Amblet moved, they had no respect for me. It wasn't until I saved most of them from the dragons that they finally learned how to respect me!"

"Moving the city... As expected, that place was the old Amblet."

Ye Yiyi finally verified his guess.

The reason for moving the city was naturally because of the flying dragon.

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi looked around and found that there were unusually many mercenaries and businessmen in Xinan Bright.

There are many demihumans here, though they are rarely seen in the interior of the kingdom.

Ye Yiyi even saw a minotaur mercenary with a bull's head on his head and a heavy axe on his back.

"Holy crap! There's a cow!"

In addition, Ye Yiyi also saw a lot of furry-looking rat people who were only half the size of normal people.

These ratmen were wearing well-made black suits, top hats on their heads, and holding gentleman sticks in their hands. They were talking to several human mercenaries on the side of the road.

"Why does this rat man look like a capitalist?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and then heard Aidan explain.

"Amblet is a border city and a famous trading city, so you can see a lot of new faces.

"Going south, bypassing Feilong Mountain and the Vast Swamp, there is a busy trade route connecting the Fire Sparrow Kingdom and the Campbell Kingdom, as well as the many demihuman kingdoms in the Western Continent.

"As for those ratmen, they are businessmen from the Kingdom Alliance in the east."

"Businessman..." Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched.

Ignoring these sub-humans of various shapes for the moment, Ye Yiyi looked up and saw many stone buildings built on the steep rock wall not far away that blocked most of the sky.

As for the castle that symbolizes the city lord, only half of it is exposed outside, and the other half is sunken into the rock wall.

Looking further up, you can see a lot of scaffolding built on the rock wall, and a lot of large birdmen waving white wings working on it.

"That's the Winged Construction Team from Fengyu Island. Lord Ampollet hired them to build the castle."

Aidan took a puff of his cigarette and said:

"I still remember when these winged people first arrived, they were so frightened by the flying dragons that they couldn't even lift their wings. Now look at them, they dare to continue their construction despite the harassment from the flying dragons."

"Winged Man..."

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If he remembered correctly, the body of the god was with the winged man?

"Does this mountain have a name?" Alice looked up at the white-winged birdmen flying around on the rock wall and suddenly asked.

"Yes, Feilong Mountain."

Feilong Mountain...

Ye Yiyi couldn't help scratching his head. This name was really chosen casually.

Is it because there is a flying dragon on the other side of the mountain?

"If I want to go up the mountain, which way should I go?" he thought for a moment and said.

"Up the mountain?"

Aidan stopped and looked at Ye Yiyi with a strange expression.

"Why do you want to go up the mountain?"

Ye Yiyi glanced at Alice, actually looking at the map light screen.

After confirming that the Magician's Tower was at the top of the mountain, he answered directly.

"That's one of the reasons I'm here."

"Purpose..." The old man frowned tightly, "Are you here for the magician's tower on the top of the mountain?"

"That's right." Since the other party has said it, Ye Yiyi will not hide it.

"That's not a place worth going to..."

Aidan looked hesitant. "Not to mention how dangerous the tower itself is, just the way up the mountain is incredibly steep. There's a very difficult alien monster living on this mountain. I don't recommend you take any risks there."

"Could it be more dangerous than a vast swamp inhabited by flying dragons?" Ye Yiyi asked back.

"That's different." Aidan shook his head.

“With the amulet I gave you, you don’t have to worry about the dragons at all. You just need to be careful about the poison in the swamp.

"We are taking the entrance exam. The dragon armor fragments you received serve as proof of your identity. They symbolize that the dragon's courage and wisdom have been conquered by me, and from now on, they will be with me..."

"But going up the mountain is really dangerous! There's a high chance of dying!"

Ye Yiyi and Alice looked at each other and smiled.

"To be honest, what we fear least is danger."

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He took out the map fragment and the key and handed them back to Aidan.

"No matter what, I must go to the tower on the top of the mountain."

"..."

Aidan held up his pipe, looked down at the item he had handed back, and fell silent.

After a long silence, he took a deep puff of smoke and exhaled quietly. Suddenly, a plain-looking book appeared in his empty hand.

His cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at Ye Yiyi through the swirling smoke, and a faint red light appeared in his eyes, as if a flying dragon was looking down at him.

"No matter what? You have to go?"

The sound that came out of the old man's mouth was like thunder, carrying with it tyrannical majesty and power, and mixed with a roar like a dragon's roar.

Ye Yiyi's body froze for a moment at this sudden roar. His eyes blurred, his body could not move, and he suddenly lost control.

"Dragon's roar?" He was surprised.

Isn't this state the same as the terrifying dragon roar he encountered when he faced the Salamander and the Molten Feathered Serpent?
