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

Harwell smiled and said, "And since you are a magic apprentice studying at the Zhige Palace, you are qualified to form a small group of mercenaries."

"This type of mercenary group is designed to facilitate the travel of students. As long as they are affiliated with the Zhige Yongwu Army, they can move freely in the Iron Kite Nation as a vassal group."

Interesting, a vassal legion that makes it easier for students to travel?

The four magicians who were working on their graduation thesis that he had met in the Vast Swamp before should also belong to this type of small-scale mercenary group.

As for the Zhi Ge Yongwu Army?

This was the first time he heard the name, but it was not difficult to guess its ownership.

Ye Yiyi asked curiously, "What is the Zhige Yongwu Army? A mercenary group under the Zhige Palace?"

"To be precise, it's a paramilitary organization led by the Zhige Hall. Its primary responsibility is to protect the hall and the safety of magicians, safeguard the interests of magicians, and, when necessary, participate in wars as a regular army."

"Its main divisions are the Knights of All Beings, the Magic Sword Enforcers, and the Buwu Mercenaries."

"Young Master, if you form a mercenary group, you will be affiliated with the Buwu Mercenaries."

"Your suggestion is valuable and sounds interesting, but I don't like it."

Ye Yiyi nodded slightly, but then shook his head, and Halwell's smile suddenly froze on his face.

"I'm not interested in forming a mercenary group. Besides, I'm not a student of the Zhige Hall. Doing something like that might expose me, and it doesn't suit my style."

"But……"

Halville seemed to want to speak but hesitated, and yet seemed to want to speak again.

"But this is already the most convenient way. Otherwise, how are we going to leave Chuoliu City? Buy a letter of introduction? That's not cheap."

"Why do you need a letter of introduction?"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and said:

"Actually, I just realized that I went to the Folding Tower in Bonagu to kill an entire family, not to travel. Wouldn't using a letter of introduction leave a trace?"

"Ah this..."

Halville opened his mouth speechlessly and was suddenly dumbfounded.

He could understand why Ye Yiyi did this, but he didn't understand why, since he was here to kill the whole family, he still had to get a legal identity to come to Tieyuan Country?

This is not a superfluous move.

He asked this, and received an appreciative look from Ye Yiyi.

"Didn't you say that the certificate can also be used in the Kingdom Alliance?"

"And a superficial identity, a superficial identity. Do you know what a superficial identity is? I've already killed an entire family, and I still have to create an identity?"

"And do you think a magic apprentice is capable of sneaking into the Iron Kite Kingdom and killing an entire family? Doesn't that clearly prove that my identity is fake?"

"..."

Halville covered his face and said nothing. He suddenly felt that he was getting too stuck in a rut.

Maybe it's because they haven't killed an entire family for many years and have done so many law-abiding things that they don't know what a powerful and lawless bad guy would do.

...No, he is not a bad person. He has never killed anyone's entire family.

Finally, Ye Yiyi decided: "Let's do this. First, you guys go find a tavern to stay in, gather some information, and figure out how to get to the Kingdom Alliance from here."

"Also, pay more attention to Herb on the other side. I have a feeling that he's staying with Fortroll for more than just surveillance."

"As for the rest, feel free to do whatever you want. Whether it's tutoring Eighty-Eight or having fun, I'll tell you when I'm done."

When Harwell heard this, he was struck by lightning and his eyes widened.

"Master, you...are not going to take me with you this time?"

"What do I take you for?"

Ye Yiyi asked back in confusion.

"Your fighting ability is just average. If we run into a strong enemy, I'll have to distract myself from taking care of you. It's better for you not to go in the first place. Besides, what if you also go to Eighty-Eight? And take him with you?"

"Uh?"

Eighty-eight, who had been staring blankly at the exotic scenery, came to his senses after hearing this, turned around with a confused expression.

Did we just talk about him?

Then Emu Jiu

"That's true..."

"right."

Ye Yiyi spread his hands, then moved his fingertips to color for both of them at the same time.

"I've cast a spell. Now you don't have to worry about getting lost. If you encounter danger again, run away. I will find you."

"Um... yeah, there's this too."

Ye Yiyi was about to leave when Halwell called her back.

Turning his head, he saw the old magician taking out a small glass bottle from his arms and handing it to him.

"This is the strengthening fluid we agreed upon earlier, for the scarab..."

Halwell sighed slightly, "I should have given it to you that night, but I was so shocked that I forgot."

"It's okay, it's not too late to give it to me now."

Ye Yiyi took the glass bottle, glanced at the clear and colorless liquid inside, and then looked at the light curtain.

【Sclerosing Agent】

Item Description: A special technique possessed by the magicians of the Insect Palace.

A type of insecticide made from special ingredients.

Can be fed to insects, strengthen the physique, and increase the upper limit of health.

It can be used multiple times until the insect's innate limit is reached.

The magicians of the Palace of All Living Things study all living things.

He was knowledgeable and well-informed. In the glorious ancient times, there were thousands of palaces coexisting.

It is said that these are some of the remaining books that survived the crystallization disaster.

The lost art of the Insect Temple is recreated by Halwell.

"Can this Kun medicine be taken continuously?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was shocked, and even the way he looked at Halville changed.

This time he finally understood why those insect people wanted to capture him.

With his skill in making Kun medicine, even the insect people would catch him.

With him, the Insect Worshiping Cult can get a steady supply of "Kunji".

As a bug-man, the value of this kind of item that can naturally increase the upper limit of attributes is simply immeasurable!

"Halwell, do you still make this Kun medicine?"

Thinking of this, he quickly spread the cosmic spiritual light and asked in the other party's mind.

Halville looked at him in confusion and answered in his mind:

"It can be done, but it will take quite a while. What's wrong, Master?"

"This potion is very valuable, I need more!"

Ye Yiyi said without hesitation: "I can exchange it for what you want, just ask."

"This……"

It was the first time that Halwell saw Ye Yiyi look so serious, but he was not a fool. He quickly realized something and spoke repeatedly.

"That's not necessary. As long as the materials are sufficient, I can continue to provide this potion to you free of charge."

“Free…”

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, looked at Halville deeply, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"I won't say anything else. I will remember the help you gave me."

"!"

Halville was stunned at first, then he showed an expression of ecstasy!

It’s not easy! It’s really not easy!

Isn't this what he has been waiting for for so many days?

As expected, you still have to demonstrate your own value!

Otherwise, even a master of magic would be nothing in the eyes of this "true evil spirit"!

"Please rest assured, I will take this matter to heart."

Halwell quickly expressed his attitude.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Ye Yiyi nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped after thinking for a moment, took out a small cloth bag and threw it to him.

"Remember to be safe."

"Ah? Oh, I see."

Halwell took the bag in a daze, and only opened it quietly to check after seeing Ye Yiyi disappear in the crowd.

After seeing the blue crystal beads in the bag, the old magician's eyes flickered and he quickly put them away.

When I looked up again, Ye Yiyi was gone.

……

"With the Focus Crystal Bead, I don't have to worry about my endurance even if I encounter a strong enemy."

Ye Yiyi thought so, and under the guidance of the dung beetle circling high in the sky, he walked towards the cemetery in the city.

With the exciting functional drink, he didn't worry about the problem of mana consumption at all, so he gave some crystal beads to Halville as a trump card.

"Now it seems that saving him was the right decision."

In the game, Halville is the type of NPC that can specifically strengthen dung beetles.

"You don't have to worry about your future evolution."

Sighing, he came to an uninhabited cemetery in the city, reached out to catch the dung beetle, and fed it the solidifying agent.

"how do you feel?"

"Mmm! Great! I feel stronger!"

The dung beetle answered happily in his mind.

"That's really good... Just bear with me for a while. I'll crystallize you and then teleport you."

Then he transformed into a colorless cloud, turned the dung beetle into crystals, stored them in the four-dimensional chrysanthemum, and then lit up the holy tablet and teleported to the temple of the giant beast's bones, which was closest to Tiehui City.

He planned to go from here to Iron Gray City in the Knight Kingdom to find the Highlander who was collecting intelligence for him.

But as the scene in his eyes became more solid, Ye Yiyi looked up and met the eyes of several knights in dark purple armor standing next to the holy monument.

"Uh?"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at one of the knights wearing a bird-beak helmet for a moment. Then he turned his gaze and looked at the other knights who were frozen in time and looking back.

Purple armor? A sharp-beaked helmet?

His thoughts turned, and he suddenly realized it, and asked curiously:

"Are you the Dark Knights?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the knights roared in unison! !

“Who are you!!”

"How dare you! How did you get in here?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Capture the thief first!!"
