Chapter 505 Wild Mage
As the team continued to move forward, Gervis lost sight of the big tree again as it was blocked from view by a towering building nearby.
But at this time, Gervis had no time to pay attention to the big tree, because he found that his chance to escape had come.
These guards are the servants of the City Lord's Mansion. Their camp is also in the City Lord's Mansion. In order to facilitate their duty, their camp is located near the city gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, Gervis had already seen the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Although the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was closed, there were many servants coming in and out of a small door next to it.
It was already late at night, but for the sake of decency, many dirty and smelly jobs had to be done at this time to avoid offending important people.
For example, the transportation of garbage and feces is carried out at this time.
Moreover, there must be a lot of people living in this huge city lord's mansion, and the garbage and filth generated are naturally huge. At this time, a long line has formed in front of the small door.
"If you don't leave now, when will you leave?"
Gervis muttered to himself, then looked at his surroundings and deliberately slowed down his pace.
His team was the fifth squadron, so he was the last one to return.
There was no one behind Gervis at this time. Gervis aimed at a bush nearby and quickly went in.
The guards in front did not notice that Gervis had left the team and continued to walk forward without looking around.
Gervis squatted in the bushes, looking at a servant who was waiting in line to leave the city more than ten meters away, and continued to conceive illusions in his mind.
When the illusion was complete, Gervis picked up a small stone from the bushes and gently threw it at the servant.
"Pah"
Gervis's strength was not great, and he threw the stone two or three meters away from the servant. The sound of the stone falling to the ground quickly caught his attention, and he looked in the direction of the sound in confusion.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, he suddenly saw a hint of gold beside the bushes in front of him.
The servant's eyes lit up, and he obviously knew what he had seen.
He looked around and saw no one behind him. His companions were sitting on a cart full of garbage and looking forward, hoping to pass through the city gate quickly so that they could finish their work early and go to bed early.
So he tiptoed to the edge of the bushes, stood next to the golden object, and then quickly bent down to pick up the gold coin.
Boom!
But before his hand could touch the gold coin, he suddenly felt a headache and passed out.
A few dozen seconds later, Gervis walked out of the bushes wearing servant's clothes, and then carefully returned to the side of the carriage. The servant who was responsible for driving the carriage in front did not even notice that his companion had been replaced by someone else.
After waiting for about a minute, the team in front finally finished checking and the garbage truck approached under the control of the servant.
"Captain Rick, it's me!"
The servant was obviously familiar with these guards. When they approached the door, he stopped the carriage and began to greet them naturally.
"Oh! Gani, Shibi, it's your turn to transport the garbage tonight! But something went wrong tonight, and the car needs to be checked!"
The captain named Rick glanced at the servant driving the car and Gervis, and seeing that they were both acquaintances, he greeted them and then asked his men to check the garbage truck.
"Oh, ok Captain Rick!"
The servant driving the car was obviously a smart man. He didn't dare to say anything more. He just nodded and waited obediently.
Gervis did the same, smiling and moving aside to be checked by several guards.
In fact, the guards' inspection was very simple. Except for the garbage in the carriage, everything else was visible.
So the two guards climbed directly onto the carriage, poked the garbage in the fence with their spears more than ten times, and then jumped off the carriage when they saw that there was no problem.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Okay! Captain Rick!"
In this way, Gervis finally escaped from the City Lord's Mansion of the Holy City of Heka with the disguise mask he got from Zel.
After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Gervis looked around in the moonlight. The appearance of this place was completely different from that of the Eurasian continent. It was countless times more prosperous than the Eurasian continent.
The streets of the Holy City of Heka are very wide. The street that Gervis and his companions are walking on is more than ten meters wide, and the buildings on both sides are exquisite Gothic buildings or Western-style villas.
However, as it was late at night, there were few pedestrians on the road.
Gervis did not run away immediately, but continued to follow the garbage truck.
Gervis knew that the garbage truck would definitely leave the city, so he planned to follow it out of the city and then escape.
Gervis was not sure whether the people in the City Lord's Mansion knew that he had escaped and would search the city again, so it was safest to escape from the city first.
With the squeaking sound of wheels rolling, Gervis followed the garbage truck all the way to the outskirts of the city.
Although there were guards on duty when leaving the city gate, it was obvious that the guards at the city gate were much more lax than those in the city lord's mansion. They didn't even do a check. Seeing that the coachman and Gervis were familiar faces, they let them leave the city through the small gate.
On the road, the driver in front would occasionally talk to Gervis for a sentence or two, but was always perfunctorily answered by Gervis with an "ah" or "hmm".
More than a mile away from the Holy City of Heka, Gervis looked at a forest on the side of the road and went in without thinking.
The other servant continued to push the garbage truck forward with a creaking sound.
"Phew! I finally got out! Today was a very thrilling day. I almost lost my life!"
Arriving in the woods, Gervis found a suitable big tree, climbed up in no time, then leaned against the thick branches and recalled what happened tonight.
"That rich girl named Adela is absolutely stunning. She made up for the bad experience I had tonight."
"My cheap wife, you better stay alive. I'm waiting to come back and compare you with that Adela to see who is better!"
Just like that, Gervis fell asleep leaning against a tree branch, lost in his thoughts.
…
While Gervis was sleeping soundly, Lachi couldn't fall asleep in the Lord's Mansion of the Holy City of Heka.
“Those three bastards of Deweir dared to mock me like this in front of Adela!”
In a luxurious manor in the city lord's mansion, Laci sat on the sofa in the hall with a dark face. He picked up a glass of rum poured by a servant and drank it down like a cow, uttering angry curses.
"Master!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in from the door of the hall. He was Lach's own butler, who was responsible for helping him manage the affairs of this luxurious manor.
"Bug, how's it going? Did you catch the thief?"
"Master, the guards searched the entire reception area but still found nothing."
"Because we are worried about disturbing the guests' rest, we have suspended the search and plan to continue it tomorrow morning!"
Butler Bagge replied respectfully.
"What a bunch of losers, they can't even catch a common thief!"
"Master, the City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded. The man who was able to sneak in must not be an ordinary person!"
Butler Bagge did not stop talking because of Lachi's anger. Instead, he began to speak for the guards.
"Could it be a wild mage?"
Lachi's attention was immediately drawn away.
"If he really is a wild mage, why didn't he accept my recruitment and instead came to the city lord's mansion to become a thief?"
"Master! We are still unsure whether the thief is a wild mage, but this thief does have some skills!"
"No more talking. Let those idiots continue searching tomorrow and make sure to find this thief. He made me lose face in front of Adela, and I will make him pay the price."
"Bag, how is the recruitment of magicians going?"
Lucky changed the subject and continued drinking rum.
"Master, there are still no magicians to answer the call!"
Butler Bagge replied respectfully.
"That bastard Deweir actually used his father's connections to persuade magicians not to accept my recruitment. I will definitely avenge him in the future!"
Upon hearing Bagge's answer, Lachi became furious again.
"Bag, there's not even a wild mage?"
"Master, there are very few wild mages, and they are worried about being hunted down by the Magic Association, so they certainly dare not show their heads easily."
Butler Bag said this, but he was muttering in his heart: You only offer a reward of 200 gold coins, which wild wizard dares to risk his life to earn these 200 gold coins.
Because of what happened more than two hundred years ago, and the subsequent emergence of "guides" such as the New Temple on the mainland.
After that catastrophe, the Magic Association stipulated that no one in the Holy Alliance was allowed to learn magic privately.
If you want to learn magic, you can only go to the several academies designated by the alliance. And you can use magic outside the academy only after obtaining certification from the Magicians Association and obtaining a magic badge.
Otherwise, they will be regarded as traitors of the alliance and will be imprisoned directly. If they dare to resist, they will be killed.
Wild magicians are those wild magicians who are not from regular academies and have not been certified by the Magicians Association.
"We will be leaving in two days. We can't go on like this. Bagge, go and exchange the recruitment reward. As long as you respond to my call, you can follow me to the Alliance Higher Academy as an auditor! There are two spots in total!"
"Master, this price is too high, isn't it? The city lord..."
Hearing what Lachi said, Butler Bag was stunned.
Although this is only the qualification of an auditor, you have to know that Laci is in the Alliance Higher Academy. If you are not a genius, you basically cannot get in without status.
And although you are an auditor, you will be able to participate in the college's assessment and get a qualification certificate after passing the assessment.
For example, a magician's qualification certificate. With this, you can go to the Magicians Association for certification and become a noble magician who can travel the continent openly.
The same goes for knights. With a certificate of qualification, they can register with the Knights Association. If one day they really become a White Flag Knight, they can then be directly certified and enjoy all the preferential treatment within the alliance.
If there is no such qualification certificate, the wild knight will need to find a force to rely on, and only with a guarantee can he register with the Knights Association.
In short, the qualification certificates from these academies are the tickets for ordinary people to enter a higher level. With this ticket, as long as their strength improves in the future, they can obtain corresponding benefits.
"Do as I say! The four quotas for auditors in Heka Holy City have not been used yet. So what if you leave two for me? I will talk to my father when the time comes!"
In order to pursue Adela, Lucky no longer cared about so many things.
Adela is not just beautiful. Besides being a talented apprentice magician with dual magic powers, her background is also terrifyingly impressive.
If anyone really married her, he would definitely be able to struggle less in several lifetimes, even he, the second young master of the Holy City of Lachiheka, was no exception.
