The girl with black hair and black eyes was naturally Loran Hill. Because her real name had been promoted by Clancy, the title of sage was too conspicuous, so she had to use another name to go to Emenas.
I always feel like I'm playing a role-playing game, the girl thought, and then touched the crystal pendant on her chest, which was given to her by Titus.
[Phantom Pendant] (Rare Coral Grade): Can subtly alter the light and shadow of one's appearance, creating an illusion where one person appears to be two different people, despite being the same face. This is difficult to detect unless one is Sequence 8 or above, or a former acquaintance.
Then, combined with the [Chaos Ring] (Perfect Crystal Grade)'s aura-masking effect, these two things can make her appearance appear more 'ordinary'. Although she is still a beautiful girl, she is still within the range of ordinary people's cognition and will not be too surprising.
During her previous trip to the south, because of her appearance, people would stare at her wherever she went. She could only feel quieter when she wore a hood. But that was definitely not an option at school, as dressing like that would make her more conspicuous. So she asked Tidaisi to make this pendant for her.
"Yeah, that's really good, little Loran." This is what Tidice said at the time.
"Being a little more ordinary, like everyone else, will make it easier to perceive the reality of life and avoid cognitive bias. Even if you didn't tell me, I would still suggest this. When it comes to changing appearances, no witch is better than me."
Loran Hill could see that Titus had relied on this ability to play tricks on others many times before, so she immediately took out a large number of props, including pendants, earrings, skirts, shoes, blindfolds, glasses, etc., for Loran Hill to choose from.
Wearing earrings requires piercing the ears, which Loran Hill was not used to, so she chose a pendant. Tidaisi modified it slightly to make it more suitable for Loran Hill, and then put a pair of glasses in the girl's hand.
"Wearing glasses is very cool, believe me, little Roland. Just think about it, everyone around you looks down on you, you show a mysterious smile, the glasses reflect the light, you draw out the sword, sweep across, the enemies wail and fall down, and then you push the frame of the glasses, you will look especially handsome~" Tidaisi suggested, and made a sword-waving gesture.
Uh, this senior is really good at having fun, Loran Hill thought, and then he had no choice but to accept the pair of black-framed glasses.
"After you go to school, remember to behave normally in your first year and don't stand out too much." Daisy suggested before leaving with a smile on her lips.
"Why?" Although he intended to remain normal, Loran Hill still asked curiously.
"Because this is the only way to make a splash later. Don't you think it's fun to see those people dropping their jaws?" Titus began to reveal her witch nature.
"Okay, I understand." The silver-haired girl nodded helplessly.
------------------------
Clansia, Red Gravel City.
The busy streets are bustling with traffic, with many merchants and shipping workers coming and going. Due to the poor air quality in this city, there are generally few tourists coming here. Only the boats on the Lanjian River occasionally stop to resupply and then leave quickly.
In this industrial city filled with smoke and black ash, the white airship halfway up the mountain is particularly conspicuous.
Walking to the outer fence gate, Loran Hill knocked on the iron lock next to it.
"Hello, is anyone there?" The light voice was particularly special in the noisy city.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there." A response came from a small house not far away.
After a while, a young man with disheveled hair opened the door and walked over.
"Are you going to the East by airship?"
He took a quick look at the girl before him. Her long, smooth black hair draped over her shoulders. A white ruffled collar held a black silk bow with a light purple, transparent gem in the center. Beneath the ruffled collar was a black shawl, and beneath it a black dress, also decorated with a few white bows and trimmed with pure white lace.
She looks like a young lady from a wealthy family, but her gentle temperament and long black hair make her look a bit like an Oriental.
An Oriental lady, this is very rare, the staff member thought, and then asked the routine question.
"You need an official pass from Clancy to board the airship. People of unknown origin are not allowed to board now."
"Yes, wait a moment." Loran Hill opened the small rattan box beside him and reached in. In fact, he took out the pass from the storage space of his ring, then took it out and handed it to the staff member.
"Well, my name is Luo Lan, I'm 16 years old, and I'm from the border mountain village of Clanciati Xilan."
A mountain village? It doesn't look like one, but Tixilan is indeed very famous recently. Many cities have opened fantasy restaurants in the style of mushroom houses, and many rich people like to dine there. It seems that Tixilan should be quite wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't be able to raise such an elegant girl.
"Well, no problem. Where are you going?" The young man looked up and returned the pass to the girl.
"To Emenas," Loranhill replied.
"Emenas? Are you a freshman?"
"Yes."
"Then you can register and get half the fee waived."
"Hey, are there any other discounts like this?" Loran Hill asked curiously.
"Yes, many of our Chamber of Commerce's top executives are from Emenas. Even the prototype of this airship involved the development of academy students. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce has a rule that all Emenas students can enjoy a 50% discount on their travel expenses."
"Okay, thank you." Loran Hill nodded, then wrote down his name and boarding time on the form beside him. His elegant handwriting was a bit elegant.
After registering and paying the fee, Loran Hill adjusted his windbreaker and walked towards the airship carrying the small rattan box.
The staff member closed the door, led the way for the girl and spoke.
"You've arrived at the perfect time. Our airship is planning to launch as soon as it gets dark. If you're any later, we might not be able to catch up."
"Why do we have to set out at night? The view is better during the day."
"It's true that the visibility is better during the day, but when an airship is flying in the sky, as long as it's in the right direction, there won't be any obstacles on the way, so visibility isn't that important. On the contrary, there are more birds and monsters during the day, which can easily lead to danger, so it's safer to sail at night."
"I see." Loran Hill followed the young man up the stairs under the airship, the hatch opened, and he was about to go in.
"Wait! Please wait a moment!"
An anxious voice came from behind. The two turned around and saw a girl with short black hair standing outside the fence gate, shouting rapidly.
She was not very tall, with a pair of emerald eyes. There was a pile of gifts beside her, and she was panting and looked anxious.
"I'm a freshman at Emenas. Can you let me in? Please."
