Hearing the system fish's wail, Yu Ling suddenly realized, "Oh dear, I seem to have forgotten about the system again!"
But it doesn't matter, it's not important at all.
"Is there anything else you need?"
After counting the gold coins, the magic shop employee transferred the exchanged universal gold coins into a bag and handed it to Payu, then asked a question.
"No, thank you."
He only came to sell some things to make a living because his employer, the king, had died and his wallet was empty. He then fled to another country to make a living. With the gold coins in hand, Payu squeezed the cloth doll Yuling and went out the door.
The surrounding buildings exuded a magical aura, clearly indicating that this was not a place ordinary humans could enter. Various strangely dressed human wizards roamed the streets.
They only share one thing in common with Payiru: almost all the wizards conceal their faces, some with ornaments covering half, others with hats and masks covering the whole.
"Are all you wizards ugly? Why do you all hide yourselves like that?"
After the doll Yuling noticed this, she broke free from Pai Liu's grasp, jumped onto his shoulder, and even peeked into his hood, only to see a patch of black mist.
This hood is actually a magical item?
Moreover, it probably also has the effect of concealing one's aura, otherwise Yu Ling would have noticed it at all.
"This is a wizard's secret..."
Pai Liu had initially intended to feign profundity and create suspense, but then suddenly remembered that her necklace was still in the other person's possession, so she immediately stopped herself and changed her tune.
"...Of course, Your Majesty, as my comrade-in-arms in resisting the abyssal behemoth, it's alright to tell you."
"One reason is that I'm afraid of being targeted by ordinary humans, and another is that I'm afraid of being cursed by other wizards with my appearance," he explained as he walked.
"But... don't the curses cast by wizards require the other person's hair or blood to be effective? What does it have to do with appearance?" Yu Ling asked again.
"This is the most common question among novice wizards, and that's because..."
Wait, you peeked into my wizarding books???
"Can't I watch it?"
Yes, I not only watched it, but I also learned it!
Yu Ling spoke with such confidence and conviction.
"You, you, you... Fine, you're just a merman, you can't be a wizard anyway, so you can just read it and be done with it. But you absolutely mustn't tell any other humans what you read!"
In the end, Payi Liu didn't dare to say anything harsh to Yu Ling, who possessed the 'Egg Necklace'.
"Wizards' curses on humans are of course transmitted through hair and blood, but for wizards who have used magic for a long time, their bodies have begun to mutate, and curses of this level are no longer effective."
Only a clear and detailed facial image, along with personal magical items used by the wizard, can successfully cast a curse on him.
"Did you never show your face before you became a wizard?"
"Of course it's not that serious. Wizards only cover their faces when they go out, or when they need to show their faces, they can drink some magic potions to change their appearance."
"Hmm, that really is..." It's really bad.
Don't the wizards in this world know how to create magical items that can ward off curses? They're still using such low-level methods as face-covering and disguise.
However, this is understandable. You can't expect too much from a world that leans towards fairy tales. After all, once you transform and your bloodline evolves, curses are child's play and will be reflected back without posing any threat.
"By the way, the egg that His Majesty turned into seems to still be in my pocket, so now you..." How did it turn into a cursed doll and run out again?
"That's because we used up too much power fighting the abyssal behemoth."
Yu Ling didn't want to tell the other person that she was evolving, so she deliberately exaggerated the situation.
"I'm stuck in this egg form and can't move, so I'm feeling a bit suffocated. I can only get some fresh air by possessing your cursed doll. Don't worry, I'll return the doll to you once I'm back to normal."
That cute little girl doll has turned into a mermaid doll.
"Oh right, I became like this because I used that bottle of potion in your pile of junk."
"...You probably won't mind, will you?"
Payiru: Would I dare say I mind?
What if you get angry and hide inside an egg and refuse to come out, and then refuse to give me back my necklace?!
"It's alright, it's just a bottle of potion, I can make another one." It hurt to see the money, but she didn't dare get angry!
"That's good. By the way, wizard, where are you going?" Yu Ling sat on Pai Liu's shoulder and flicked her miniature cloth tail.
They watched as the other party hurriedly passed through the third spatial magic circle.
"The Kingdom of Lunke is a country that advocates peace. The king of the sea was not killed by you... After being killed by the abyssal beast, I was wanted by other royal families and had to find another place to make a living."
Pai Liu didn’t dare ask Yu Ling if she wanted to come with him. Anyway, the egg was still in his pocket, so why not just take it with him?
I'm not good with words, and if I let the person escape, the necklace will really be lost.
The doll Yu Ling and the fugitive wizard chatted casually, and with the help of the spatial magic circle, the two quickly arrived at the territory of the Kingdom of Lunke.
Unlike the coastal country where the protagonist lives, this is a prosperous and developed country, full of exquisite and magnificent castle buildings. There are no mountains or rivers nearby, only fertile fields, fruit trees and large gardens.
"Sir wizard, do you have any letters of recommendation?"
As they drove to the center of the kingdom, the guards politely inquired of Pai Liu, though their eyes kept glancing unconsciously at the doll Yu Ling.
What an adorable mermaid plush toy!!!
“I don’t have a letter of recommendation, but I’m already a high priest, and this is the magical creature I created.” Pailu pointed to the doll Yuling, trying to elevate her status.
Yu Ling nodded in agreement.
"Honorable High Wizard, this is your identity token for traveling in the Kingdom of Lenko. Whether you are a resident or a visitor, the Kingdom of Lenko warmly welcomes you. We wish you a pleasant stay!"
Wizards are highly regarded in every country, especially in the wealthy Kingdom of Lenko.
But with more wizards, the competition became even fiercer, and they had to pretend to be friendly in front of the peace-loving king.
If it weren't for the fact that I really couldn't stay at the "chicken head" anymore, Pai Liu really wouldn't have had the courage to come here and be a "phoenix tail".
"Thank you, you too."
After exchanging pleasantries with the guards, Payu took the pass and entered the city, then wandered around aimlessly.
Most of the gold coins Yu Ling gave him were spent on sitting in the space magic circle. It was also his first time here, and he really didn't know where to go next.
Noticing the socially awkward person's embarrassment, Yu Ling nudged the other person's shoulder and said:
"Why not just go to the King of Lenko and ask him if he still accepts wizards?"
