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

Item Description: One of the magic spells taught by Zhige in the Magic Hall.

Can add magic attribute attack power to weapons.

Can be performed while walking.

The magic taught by the temple is used by the temple guards, so it does not require a high intelligence.

The props made from this magic are widely circulated in the border areas.

"It's fine if it spreads widely. After all, magicians need to make a living. This magic is so practical, it will definitely sell well if it's made into props!"

Ye Yiyi thought to himself, "Looks like I have to find a way to learn how to make magic props later.

"Besides being sold, some functional magic doesn't need to take up extra spell slots."

The last magic he valued was [Silent].

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

It can completely eliminate the sound of the person performing the operation.

The magicians of the Hidden Palace have always been known as spies and assassins.

This is an essential tool for performing stealth missions.

"Hidden Palace, Star Palace, let me think about what other palaces there are? Oh, there's also a Questioning Palace."

Ye Yiyi scratched his forehead. "It's exactly the same as the name of the concentration training method. So there should also be the [Hidden Scroll of Stopping War]? Tsk tsk, how complicated."

After watching the magic, Ye Yiyi tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.

I simply went to the room on the top floor and climbed up to the telescope to look at the night view.

"Next, we should go to the big smelter, but I need to find a horse first, otherwise walking would be too slow.

"If I remember correctly, there's a ranch to the west where you can buy horses."

While thinking and gazing at the starry sky, he fell asleep leaning on the telescope in a daze.

The next morning, Ye Yiyi left the Magician's Tower and headed towards the ranch in the northwest, taking the northern capital of Rit as a landmark.

Chapter 48: The Mage Tricking the Horse

The ranch is located not far from the magician's tower.

When Ye Yiyi arrived last night, he looked at the pasture from afar.

On the endless green grassland, there are herds of cattle, sheep and horses. Faint black spots are running on the grassland. They are the guarding hunting dogs.

At the end of the pasture is a small village.

This area is very close to the royal city. Looking up towards the north, the magnificent giant castles on the towering mountains at the end of the sight seem to be very close.

Ye Yiyi walked for three or four hours and finally arrived at the village.

As soon as we stepped into the village gate, soldiers from the principality holding spears came forward to greet us.

"Stop! Who are you?"

The soldier was about to raise his gun, but when he saw Ye Yiyi's wizard robe and pointed hat, his expression suddenly became hesitant.

He had never seen anyone dressed like this before, especially with the other person wearing a pair of white gloves.

The soldiers had only seen gloves worn by clergymen of the Holy Blood Order and important figures among the nobility.

For a moment, even the tone of his voice softened.

Ye Yiyi lifted the brim of his hat and silently looked the soldiers up and down, feeling an inexplicable sigh in his heart.

"When you go out, clothes really make the man. If I were still wearing that coarse cloth, I would have been arrested long ago."

Ye Yiyi felt that the clothes of this Duchy soldier looked familiar. After a closer look, he found that they were the same as those of the slave-catching soldiers who escorted him into the royal city.

They all wore chain mail underneath and sleeveless robes outside, leather vests with eagle logos on their shoulders, and flying saucer-shaped iron "kettle hats" on their heads.

In addition, Ye Yiyi also discovered that the soldier's pupils were a bright red.

That's not a normal color, it's most likely a symptom of hemophilia.

Perhaps because it is relatively close to the royal city, the situation of hemophilia here is not serious.

But it’s not that there is no 2?

As Baal, the former master of the Eagle Beak Knights, said, bloodthirsty disease has been prevalent in the principality for a long time.

As many as eight or nine villages were destroyed by the disease.

If the unconscious people in Linhe Village, who are like blood-thirsty zombies, are regarded as the terminal stage of hemophilia.

The blood-thirsty disease that the soldier in front of him was suffering from should still be in the early stages.

"Cough cough..."

Ye Yiyi cleared his throat, looked at the soldier and spoke.

"Where are you from? I saw horses when I came here before."

The soldier was stunned when he heard this and could not help but freeze.

Wasn't it me who asked first? Why are you asking me back?

Wait, this arrogant attitude...

The soldier's expression suddenly became cautious.

"This... this is Nanling Ranch," he replied. "Those horses are the property of Master Gorgon."

"Gorgon?" Ye Yiyi raised an eyebrow. "A noble from the principality?"

Don't you know Master Görgen? He's not from the Principality?

The soldier was confused, but still answered, "Yes... I don't know who you are, sir?"

"I am a noble magician from the Zhige Palace on the eastern border. As for my name, you are not worthy of knowing it."

Ye Yiyi pretended to be a master wizard and looked down at the soldiers.

"Go and call your steward. I want to buy a horse."

"Ah?" The soldier was stunned.

A magician? The eastern border? The Hall of Peace?

Of these few words, he only understood the "eastern border" and knew that it was in the north, very far away from the Principality of Ritter.

But what are the magician and the Hall of Stopping War?

The soldier who had lived in the Principality of Ritter all his life was a little confused.

"What are you still standing there for? Go?!"

Ye Yiyi showed a look of disgust and said impatiently: "What a rural place, they don't even know magicians! That bastard came here to build a magician's tower, is he planning to live in seclusion?"

The first half of the sentence is a reprimand, and the second half is a complaint.

The soldier didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but he understood the four words "countryside".

"Please wait a moment, sir." The soldier bowed in fear and trepidation, then ran towards the village.

Seeing this, Ye Yiyi pretended to be impatient, crossed his arms, and looked around boredly.

"Am I an okay actor?" He glanced at the dung beetle hiding in his robe.

The dung beetle waves its tentacles, which means that big brother is awesome!

"Hehe~" Ye Yiyi raised the corner of his mouth proudly.

After a while, soldiers led a group of people to the gate.

The leader was a silver-haired old man wearing a black tuxedo and with elegant and refined manners.

Ye Yiyi stared at the old man, rolled his eyes, and then nodded in praise.

"Finally, I see a decent guy. His clothes are nice. Are they imported from the Empire?"

The old man in tuxedo was stunned when he heard this. He looked Ye Yi up and down and showed a decent smile on his face.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Magician. This attire of mine is not from the Empire, but was copied by a tailor from our principality."

"Imitation?" Ye Yiyi raised an eyebrow. "Handmade imitation?"

"Yes, Master Magician." The old man nodded with a smile.

"You paid the copyright fee? You dare to imitate?" Ye Yiyi was a little skeptical.

"Of course I have." The old man replied.

Ye Yiyi acted indifferent and shook his head.

"Forget it. I want to buy a horse for transportation. Can you sell it? If you can, please name a price."

"Sell! Of course I can sell it!"

The old man in the tuxedo smiled and said, "However, Master Magician, how would you like to pay? We accept both Imperial and Duchy gold coins."

Ye Yiyi's eyes fixed when he heard this.

He thought to himself, "Good fellow, this old man is not satisfied with testing me once, he is testing me again now."

The first attempt was to collect copyright fees for imitation.

The tuxedo clothing style comes from the cyber refugees. In the game, these cyber refugees formed an organization called "Xingji Society".

The Xingji Society manipulates a constitutional monarchy empire behind the scenes, using this as a disguise.

This copyright fee is naturally a concept created by this group of people who are good at business.

When the old man mentioned imitation, Ye Yiyi naturally mentioned copyright fees.

Otherwise, there would be a flaw in Ye Yiyi's identity as a magician from the eastern border.

You don’t even know this, and you still dare to say that you are from the eastern border?

The second attempt was with the Imperial Gold Coin.

If Ye Yiyi said yes to everything, he would probably be captured by the soldiers immediately.

Because the empire did not use metal currency, but paper money made of a special material.

This kind of paper money cannot be torn or burned, and it also has a unique magic mark with a unique number. It was issued by the Empire with the assistance of the Hall of Stopping War.

Ye Yiyi thought secretly, "This old man is testing me all the time, just to expose my identity as a magician from the eastern border!

"But he forgot the most important point. The power of magic cannot withstand any test!"

His expression darkened and he flung open his robe with his right hand.

The next moment, a cane with a live amber inlaid on the top, which was emitting a faint white light, suddenly hit the forehead of the old man in the tuxedo.

The old man in the tuxedo remained expressionless, but his pupils suddenly shrank and cold sweat ran down his forehead.

The soldiers behind the old man raised their weapons at the same time.

The scene suddenly became tense.

"Imperial gold coins?"

Ye Yiyi ignored the soldiers. He spoke these four words word by word, raised the brim of his hat and looked at them with a cold expression.

"This currency was abandoned many years ago. Are you making fun of me?"

"Misunderstanding! Sir! It's all a misunderstanding!!"
