Chapter 104 Disguise before going out
Shu Li was born into a wealthy family and was spoiled since childhood. He ate the best food, used the best clothes, and wore the best clothes. After traveling to another world, the fairies took even better care of the cubs. Not only did his living conditions not decline, but they became even better.
For example, clothes are made by textile masters, using the finest silk woven into cloth and then adding magical patterns. They are not only soft and comfortable, light and flowing, but also warm in winter and cool in summer.
As the quality of clothing increases, its properties also increase.
He is now a senior magician, and his clothes are provided by Rowling from the Elf Kingdom. They can be made bigger or smaller and have defensive functions, so he doesn't feel any pain when he bumps into things.
Being used to wearing clothes, he had never imagined that his skin could be so delicate.
After putting on the coarse cloth, my skin was rubbed with red marks, and my whole body felt as if it was being pricked by needles.
Although he knew that disguise was necessary when going out, wasn't the quality of this clothing a little too poor?
How bad is the living standard of humans outside the forest that they don’t even have decent clothes?
"Hmm, I was negligent." Ilio held his arm and examined it, raising an eyebrow. "I forgot you haven't practiced physical skills at your age."
"What kind of physical skill?" Shu Li asked in confusion.
"Simply put, taijutsu involves using your energy to form a transparent film on the surface of your body. It adheres to the skin for defensive purposes." Ilio lifted his sleeve, revealing his fair arm. "Poke it with your dagger."
Shu Li was dumbfounded: "Are you sure?"
The dagger is very sharp, it would be strange if it didn't break the skin.
"Affirmative." Ilio nodded.
Since he asked, Shu Li didn't hesitate. He took out his dagger, drew out the blade, and carefully touched the skin of his arm.
"I really got pricked!" he warned the other party.
"Zah." Ilio said calmly.
Shu Li hardened his heart and thrust forward with all his strength.
"Huh?"
The dagger seemed to have pierced into a very elastic net, and it did not penetrate at all. Ilio's skin was flawless, without a single scratch.
He put away the dagger, surprised.
Is this Taijutsu? Amazing!
"Ilio, teach me, teach me quickly!" He shook his pointed ears, tilted his head back, and his tender green eyes sparkled with bright stars.
Ilio reached out and rubbed his head. "Spirit is the source of a warrior's strength. It requires constant training and accumulation over time. I will teach you how to accumulate spirit, but not now."
Shu Li was disappointed and tugged at her clothes. "It makes me uncomfortable."
Elio looked at the red marks on his coarse cloth, rummaged in his storage ring, and pulled out a shirt and underpants of slightly better quality.
"Wear these two inside." His expression was quite serious. "When you go out, you must overcome all difficulties. This is a necessary lesson for training."
Shu Li took the clothes and responded seriously: "Yes, I understand."
Since you have decided to take the first step as a brave man, you must not be afraid of hardships.
He took off his coarse clothes and put on his shirt and trousers. Although they were a little big, they were much softer and no longer stung his skin.
With a sigh of relief, Shu Li put on his gray coarse cloth coat and trousers.
Ilio handed him a potion and said, "Drink it."
Shu Li took the potion and asked hesitantly, "What potion is it?"
Elio didn't answer. He took out another potion and drank it in one gulp. Soon, his appearance changed.
The elf's unique pointed ears turned into ordinary human ears, his snow-white skin darkened two shades, his blue eyes turned black, and with the dark blue coarse cloth he was wearing, he instantly transformed from a noble elf into an ordinary human.
Shu Li opened his mouth in surprise.
What a powerful potion!
No wonder elves and fairies are not afraid of exposing their identities when they go out to gain experience. It is so convenient to have camouflage potions.
Shu Li took off the cork and drank the potion with a gulp.
"Wow! How bitter!" He stuck out his tongue and looked at Ilio pitifully.
Ilio blinked mischievously.
Shu Li pointed at him, unable to express his grievances.
Seeing that Ilio drank it so quickly, he thought the medicine was not bitter, so he poured it into his mouth without hesitation. However, he didn't know that the medicine was as bitter as coptis chinensis.
Hateful and cunning elf!
Shu Li sniffed, quickly pulled a Kuku fruit from his storage ring, and popped it into his mouth. The sweet and sour juice filled his mouth, instantly diluting the bitterness.
Saved!
He exhaled.
Ilio looked down at the young elf, watching him change his appearance as he ate the fruit. A smile rose at his lips as he took out a mirror and placed it before him. "Take a look."
"Huh?" Shu Li stared straight ahead in a daze, only to see that the pointed ears in the mirror were gone, replaced by round human ears, the skin was three shades darker, the eyes had turned from light green to gray-green, but the hair was still a bright and shiny golden color, and there was a small flower crown that had turned into a forehead ring, which was exquisite and beautiful and eye-catching.
Her appearance did not decrease after she became a human.
Elio stroked his chin and took out a bottle of black hair dye. "Come on, I'll help you dye your hair."
Shu Li was stunned. "Can it be...recovered?"
Ilio said, "Of course, you have to trust the elf's senior pharmacist."
Shu Li gritted her teeth and let him dye her hair. Ten minutes later, his beautiful blond hair turned black. The small flower crown transformed into a simple ribbon, tying his black hair into a long ponytail.
Standing next to Ilio, they looked like a pair of brothers with a ten-year age difference.
After the disguise was over, Ilio did a final inspection. His eyes swept over the storage ring on Shu Li's finger, which was obviously worth a lot of money. He said, "Find a strong rope and hang the storage ring around your neck."
"Oh..." When Shu Li took off her clothes, she put all the decorations into the storage ring, but she forgot about the storage ring itself.
Since he was disguised as an ordinary human child, it was impossible for him to carry an expensive ring.
Make the storage ring into a necklace, wear it around your neck, and put it inside your collar, hiding it tightly.
"Okay, you can go out now." Ilio patted his thin shoulders, picked up a plain and tattered backpack, and walked out of the cabin first.
Shu Li trotted after him.
The animal-skin boots on his feet were very hard and hurt his feet when he walked, but he didn't make a sound.
After leaving the cabin, Ilio stretched his limbs and said to Shu Li with a smile, "Remember, from now on, your name is Amo, and my name is Al. We are a pair of brothers wandering the continent."
"Yes." Shu Li responded obediently.
"Call me brother." Ilio pressed his head with his big hand.
Shu Li slapped his hand away, glared at him, and whispered, "Got it, Algo."
Ilio said, "Lower your voice, change your tone, and learn how to change your voice."
Shu Li was surprised to find that Ilio's voice had become low and hoarse, completely different from its original gorgeous and clear voice.
It seems that his disguise skills have reached perfection.
"Ahem~" He cleared his throat and tried to change his voice, "Is this... okay?"
"Just barely passable," Ilio said. "Practice more and keep the tone of that voice."
"Okay, Argo." Shu Li said.
"Put on your hoods, and as soon as the sun rises, we'll try to cross that mountain before dusk." Ilio pointed to the mountains ahead.
Shu Li looked up at the endless mountains in the distance and asked in surprise, "Yi...Argo, are you kidding me?"
It might take half a day to climb such a high mountain by using wings and wind magic, but it would take at least two or three days to walk over it on two legs!
By the way, how many days will it take them to go back and forth for this training?
Originally, he was going to go to the Elf Kingdom to study in another week. He purified the mother tree and the second small fruit in the middle of the night, and gave the herbs to Efit.
Now that the curse has happened, all the plans have been disrupted.
I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for ten days or half a month.
Shu Li frowned in confusion.
Ilio thought he was worried about climbing the mountain, so he bent his fingers and tapped his forehead. "This is the first step in the training."
Shu Li covered his forehead and asked in confusion, "How can I climb over the entire mountain in one day?"
"If you want energy, follow me." Ilio suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed forward like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he was fifty meters away, leaving Shu Li stunned.
Ilio stopped, turned and waved to him.
Shu Li gritted his teeth, raised his legs and sprinted forward. When he was about to approach Ilio, he took another step forward and was far ahead.
After more than twenty minutes, Shu Li put his hands on his bent knees, sweating profusely and panting.
Forgive him for usually using his wings to fly, his leg muscles are not very developed, and the continuous and fast running consumes a lot of physical energy, causing his toes to ache and his calves to tremble.
He finally understood why fairies had to leave the forest to gain experience only after they reached adulthood.
With his current underage body, he simply couldn't handle it without magic and wings.
"Can't run anymore?" Ilio stood before him, his face unblushing and his breath still unhurried. "If you can't hold on, there's still time to return to the forest."
Shu Li wiped the sweat off his face with his arm, and immediately felt a stinging sensation on his cheek.
The coarse cloth rubbed his face red.
"continue."
He won't give up so easily!
I've already come out, how embarrassing would it be to go back?
What's more, you have to finish the road you choose even if you have to crawl on your knees.
A flicker of approval flashed in Elio's eyes. "Then keep going."
He led the way in front, and Shu Li followed hard behind. Every half an hour, they stopped to rest for five minutes. Walking and stopping like this, the two walked out of the fairy forest and approached the mountains.
Shu Li sat down on the grass, his limbs weak from exhaustion and his mouth dry.
A water bag was handed to him, and he took it without hesitation, pulled out the cork, and drank it into his mouth in big gulps.
After drinking the water, my throat finally felt better. "Thank...thank you, Argo."
Ilio held the empty water bag and signaled Shuli to use magic to fill it with water.
Shu Li immediately pulled out the storage ring hanging around his neck and wanted to take out the magic wand, but was stopped by Ilio.
"You are now a high-level magician. You don't need to rely on a magic wand when casting low-level magic."
"Oh." Shu Li raised his hand, sensing the water element in the air, and muttered a spell. Sure enough, the water element surged, condensing into water droplets in his palm. With a wave of his hand, the water droplets continuously fell into the water bag.
When the water bag was full, he withdrew his hand and the water droplets dissipated.
Ilio hung the water bladder on his belt, looked up at the sun, and reached out to Shuli. "It's sparsely populated here, so you can use magic. But once we cross the mountain and enter the human world, we won't be able to use magic anymore."
Shu Li took his hand and was pulled to his feet. "Why don't we pretend to be magicians?"
Ilio said, "In Austin Continent, all magicians need to go to the Magic Tower in the courtyard to register and obtain a magic badge, otherwise—"
"What else?" Shu Li asked.
Ilio shrugged. "Otherwise, I'd be unable to move forward, without the convenience and protection provided by the Magic Association."
Shu Li was shocked: "The human world has so many rules?"
To be a magician, you need a license to work, how troublesome!
"Argo, do you have a magic badge?"
"Of course." Ilio flipped his fingers and pulled out an exquisite golden badge. "A top-level badge. Only one hundred have been awarded in the entire continent in ten thousand years."
"Wow—" Shu Li said in a rare moment of admiration, "Argo, you're amazing."
Elio put away the badge, smiling broadly. "Thank you for the compliment."
Shu Li's mouth twitched slightly. "Well... since you have a top-level badge, why don't you disguise yourself as a magician?"
Ilio pinched his ear. "You fool, if I were walking around the continent wearing a top-tier badge, you wouldn't be able to deliver the letter in a week."
"Huh?" Shu Li stared.
"A top-level badge represents a Mage Saint-level magician. Wherever they go, the city lord will come out to greet them. They won't be able to leave for two or three days." Ilio lowered his hood and exerted force on his feet. "The purpose of our trip is to deliver a letter, so we'll try to keep a low profile."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran forward as light as a swallow.
Shu Li took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and used the method Ilio taught him to exert force on his feet and rush forward quickly.
After running for a long time, he felt a wonderful airflow flowing in his body. Although it was very weak, it was beginning to take shape.
Is this... the essence that Ilio mentioned?
The climb was extremely difficult.
The long hours of running and jumping consumed a lot of Shu Li's energy, and his feet were rubbed with blisters by the animal leather boots. Whenever he fell to the ground exhausted, he wished he could show his wings or use wind magic to relieve his pain.
"Oh, you still want to go out and gain experience?"
Ilio always finds the right moment to taunt.
Shu Li felt pent up in anger, and stood up with gritted teeth and continued climbing the mountain.
He finally understood why the Elf King had asked Ilio to accompany him. It was because he was the only one with the maxed-out taunt skill, which always made him furious and aroused his unwillingness to admit defeat. No matter how hard or tiring it was, he would persevere to the end.
Other elves or fairies would never be willing to let the little goblin suffer!
As the sun set and the sky was filled with orange-red sunset glow, Shuli and Ilio successfully crossed the mountains and entered the territory of the Dalia Empire.
"Bang--"
Shu Li, exhausted as a dog, fell straight onto the grass at the foot of the mountain, motionless.
Elio squatted down, his eyes gentle, and patted his head. "Do you want to lie down all the time, or do you want me to carry you?"
"I want to carry you on my back!" Shu Li threw away all his dignity. If he continued to walk, he might not see the sun tomorrow.
Ilio is indeed the strongest warrior in the Elven Kingdom, he has a heart of stone!
He wanted to stop and rest many times during the journey, but was ruthlessly rejected.
Woo woo woo——
When he gets back, he will definitely, definitely complain to the Elf King!
"Come, climb on my back." Ilio patted him.
Shu Li let out two "woops" and propped herself up, then lay on his back.
Elio easily carried the little guy on his back, adjusted his posture, and said with a smile, "Sleep if you want to. Don't force yourself."
Shu Li leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in seconds.
