Leaving the dock and walking on the road of Lewis City...

Edith and the others had said before that this city was relatively close to the capital of Kserk and was considered one of the largest ports in the area. Ships from not only Muwan Port but also Dansu and several other ports would gather here, which was why there were so many people.

"Teacher, are we going to the Scholar's Library now?"

Sean was walking aimlessly on the street with young Lucille when suddenly she said this.

"Why is it the Scholar's Library?" Sean was the one who was very curious.

"Didn't the instructor say that we should look for the places mentioned in the books? I thought if it's a book from Adak, it should be here too... The best place would be the Scholar's Library."

It's a detailed thought, but it doesn't hit the point.

"wrong."

"Why?"

"That probably wasn't what I meant. Sometimes what people say isn't necessarily true, especially for those who are very scheming. If you go along with what they mean, you won't be able to understand what they are going to do." Sean explained.

But this answer was too difficult for a five or six-year-old girl to understand.

No brows, but I tried to frown a few times...

"don't know."

"You'll understand later. Just remember these words."

"Since they are all lying, how should I do things?" the little girl asked in confusion.

"There are many ways to judge a person, from the way he does things and the environment he lives in..." It seems that after saying so much, Lucille is still young and probably can't understand it, so it's better to try another way.

"You have to learn not only magic and witchcraft, but also how to survive. Even the highest-level wizards cannot be invincible. There are many ways to defeat them." Looking at the little girl's serious expression, the status above her head was still [Confused!].

"How about this, you pay attention to see if there's any difference when we come out of the harbor."

At this moment, the two of them were walking on the street. If there was any difference, it was that there were a lot of eyes staring at them.

"Did you notice?"

The little girl shook her head.

"Be more careful. Think normally, but sometimes you have to think outside the box. Remember what I taught you?"

Lucille looked around and finally frowned, but just as the two of them passed by a group of merchants in front of them and they were whispering about what they were wearing, she remembered.

"Teacher, I feel like a lot of people are paying attention to us!"

Sean smiled with relief.

"Do you know why?"

"Maybe...it's because the instructor's clothes are too eye-catching."

“That’s right!”

It is good for a child to have such observation skills. After all, he is still young, and it is not too late to start teaching him a little bit now.

He was still wearing the clothes of the Jagun royal family. Although it was more than 20 years ago and there was no royal attire, the luxurious decorations would still become the focus of many people's attention. Sean also found that the clothing of this country was very similar to that of the Zambutal region.

"So where are we going now?"

"Change your outfit."

"Outfit?" The little girl didn't quite understand what this meant, but she continued to follow Sean.

There are usually commercial streets near the port...

Following his travel experience, Sean chose a decent-looking clothing store to change clothes and, by the way, pawn his clothes and jewelry, which were worth tens of thousands of gold coins! During his time as a prince in Jagun, he had seen so much gold and silver that the rooms piled with gold were dazzling no matter how he looked at them.

Finally, after more than half a year, I wore gentleman's clothes again.

A black coat with a white collared shirt, a top hat, white gloves and a cane...

"It's strange that the instructor is dressed like this."

"Strange! I think it's great, you don't understand."

The people of Adak have different aesthetic tastes from different regions. Yeah, that's it!

After changing my clothes and buying Lucille a change of clothes, I was ready to leave...

"By the way, store manager. I heard that a group of missionaries passed through this area recently. I wonder if you knew about it?" After buying the clothes and paying the bill, Sean asked the locals.

However, just this one sentence aroused the other party's [alertness! ].

"Is there anything wrong, sir?"

"Oh, I'm a scholar from Adak. I've been researching this kind of subject recently. This time I've brought my apprentice here to study together." He kept staring at the changes in the other person's state while speaking. Just one sentence could arouse vigilance.

"I see."

Still with a look of [doubt!] in his eyes.

"It's okay if the store manager doesn't know. I went to the Scholar's Library to ask."

Act as much as possible as a true polymath.

Perhaps seeing Sean's calm expression, the clothing store manager also relaxed his guard a little...

"Since you're from Adak, you don't know the rules here. These matters are controlled by the state alchemists. It's best for you outsiders not to ask too much."

"State Alchemist?"

How many years have passed.

Twenty years later, Sean often heard Kselke being called the State Alchemist.

After all, this is the first country in the world where alchemy is prevalent. Compared with other regions, the alchemists of Xerxes can be considered authentic.

"Yes, you'd better not ask in front of outsiders, because if someone in the area reports it, the state alchemists will lock you up?" said the clothing store owner seriously.

"Did those missionaries break any law?" Sean asked.

It is actually under the direct control of the Keselk regime and no further questions can be asked. I guess there is something wrong.

"I don't know either. Anyway, it's best for the entire country not to talk about those missionaries. It seems that this news came from the palace, prohibiting discussion of these things... You'd better not go to the library to ask anymore."

Looking at the other person's expression, it can't be fake, it seems to be real.

But why was it that some time ago we heard that some people were spreading the teachings of the ancient gods everywhere, but now it is expressly banned?

Just as Sean was wondering, a group of people in neat blue coats galloped past on horseback on the street...

"Who is that?"

"Those are the State Alchemists," the shop owner said.

It turns out the uniforms worn by the State Alchemists here are blue.

"I still don't understand why this country prohibits folk activities?" Missionary work is a folk activity, just like those bards who like to tell stories.

But this has already been targeted by the country!

"I'm not too sure. I heard that the state alchemists seemed to have created something in the same way as those missionaries, so it was banned..." When he said this, he looked around carefully and spoke in a low voice after making sure that there was no one around.

"It's best not to tell anyone about this. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor wants to resurrect his dead daughter!"
