"My distinguished guest, you will sell to our store: a complete eighth-level monster red falcon tail feather, a broken man-eating porcupine flower, and seventeen semi-dormant golden-winged insects. A total of five thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine gold coins. I'll round it off for you, a total of five thousand eight hundred gold coins. Please confirm again and sign your name on this agreement."
In a material purchasing point in the center of Gaina City, the staff in the store watched a special person repeatedly verify the authenticity of the things brought by several people to avoid mistakes. At the same time, with a perfect smile on his face, he pushed out a piece of parchment with both hands and handed it to the handsome man sitting opposite him in a white robe, and said respectfully.
Gabriel and Polly had no money. They were very frank about this from the beginning and had the courage to face this reality. Therefore, even as a summoned "evil spirit", Luo Zheyu did not receive any "salary" and could only support himself.
By the way, take care of two underage children or children who have just reached adulthood.
Some of the things brought out from the Shennata Forest were sold to material purchasing points. Since the materials were scarce, they were either magical plants in the inner area of the Shennata Forest or feathers from high-level magical beasts, and they earned a considerable amount of money.
Don't worry about where to live anymore.
After coming out of the material purchasing point, someone followed them from a distance in the dark, trying to steal the gold coins on them.
Luo Zheyu ignored it and took Gabriel and the other two to find a hotel to rest.
Even though it only took them nearly an hour to get from the distant Shennata Forest to Gaina City, and the actual travel time was only half an hour, this half hour made Gabriel and the other two very tired. Of course, more of the fatigue was mental.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Hetty knocked on the door of the hotel room, carrying a tray with tea and dessert.
"Come in."
She pressed the doorknob and opened the door.
Inside the room, Luo Zheyu sat on a recliner, holding a book about dragons in his hands, reading it carefully and attentively, occasionally turning to the next page.
Heidi looked at him indistinctly. He looked very young. Just looking at his face, sometimes one would even have the illusion that he was younger than Gabriel. However, no one would think he was immature. Instead, he gave people a very reliable feeling. This face was handsome enough, with a unique and charming temperament. If his face was softer and he smiled more, countless girls would be obsessed with him. Even though he was so cold now, there was no shortage of eyes stopping at him along the way.
Perhaps this is the power of the "evil spirit" that belongs to the abyss of the world and tempts people to fall.
Hetty didn't believe Luo Zheyu's initial denial that he was an evil spirit.
She had studied the summoning circle in secret. The mistakes made by Gabriel would only cause deviations in the coordinates of the summoned target, but the essence of the summoning circle would not change. The summoned creature would definitely be an "evil spirit".
"My lord, please have some tea."
Hetty put the tea and dessert on the coffee table beside her and spoke softly.
Luo Zheyu responded and picked up the teacup. Without taking his eyes off the pages of the book, he brought the rim of the cup to his light-colored lips, and the slightly red tea rippled.
He seemed to have just remembered that Hetty was standing next to him. He paused slightly, and when his thin lips were about to touch the reddish tea, he moved his eyes away and turned to Hetty who had been watching him quietly.
"Go ahead, there's nothing else needed here."
"Yes, sir."
Hetty bowed slightly, walked out of the room with the plate in both hands, and closed the door gently. She looked like a very competent maid.
She went to the hotel kitchen and brought out two more servings of tea, which she delivered to Gabriel and Polly's rooms respectively, then quietly came to Luo Zheyu's door.
After pausing at the door for a moment, Hetty knocked gently.
There was no response from the room.
"grown ups?"
She called out softly.
The people inside seemed to be asleep and did not hear Hetty's shout.
Hetty opened the door naturally, entered the room and closed it gently.
She took a few steps forward and looked towards the teacup on the coffee table - only half of the reddish liquid was left in the cup. The "evil spirit" in a white robe was now sleeping with his eyes closed, leaning on a recliner, with the book in his hand casually draped across his legs.
It turned out that the intoxicating potion could even enchant evil spirits. It was worth it that she almost emptied her family's savings to buy this intoxicating potion.
The sunlight poured in from the window and fell on the flawless face, creating a soft halo, leisurely and comfortable, making people involuntarily relax their vigilance and feel happy.
If Hetty was not certain that the other party had walked out of the evil spirit summoning array, she would not have been able to connect him with the "evil spirit".
However, now is not the time to think about such questions.
Hetty focused her eyes on the other person's wide white sleeves.
The previous map was placed here, right?
How can someone put something in their sleeves without it falling out?
While wondering, he bent down and reached into the other person's white sleeves.
Empty, didn't touch anything.
Hetty frowned and ran her fingers along the sleeve, continuing to grope inside.
No hidden pockets...
So how can you possibly fit something in these sleeves!
Just when Hetty was getting extremely angry, she suddenly felt her wrist tightened and someone grabbed it. The icy coldness seeped into her bone marrow little by little from her wrist.
My heart suddenly tightened, and when I looked up, I saw a pair of clear light blue eyes.
These eyes were originally black.
Just as Hetty hurriedly stepped back and struggled to free her wrist, she felt a sudden pain on her face.
“Shh…”
Tiny tearing sounds were heard in the room.
Luo Zheyu looked at the thin flesh-colored human face skin in his hand, which was torn off from Hetty's face.
The facial skin was intact, without any blood stains, and the inner layer was smooth. It was obviously just an exquisite work of art, not a real human face.
Opposite him, the person in the linen maid's dress had become a stranger, with a masculine, angular face and a pale, sickly complexion. Unlike the common features of this world, he had a pair of extremely rare narrow eyes, with a slight dark tint under his eyes, caused by dark circles. His nose was straight, and his lips were slightly darker, forming a sharp contrast with his pale complexion.
After he broke free from Luo Zheyu's grasp on his wrist, he quickly distanced himself from Luo Zheyu and suddenly lifted up his long skirt.
What was exposed under the skirt was not only the long white thighs and some indescribable underwear, but also a short wooden stick hidden under the skirt and tied to the outside of the thigh.
The wooden staff is dark brown in color and has a simple shape. The staff body is carved with intricate patterns, which circle upward around the staff body and gather at the top. At the "point" where the patterns converge and intersect, a black gem the size of a fingernail is inlaid in it, glowing slightly. The unfathomable gem seems to hide a secret.
"Hetty" pulled out the wooden stick tied to her thigh, held it to her chest, and with a focused expression, she muttered some difficult and ancient words at a very fast speed and in a low voice. The indistinct murmurs echoed in the room.
Luo Zheyu did not interrupt him, but just clenched his right hand, and a huge black sickle appeared in his hand.
He wanted to experience the power that belonged only to this world - magic.
"Hetty" was holding a magic wand in her hand, and the words she was whispering had never been seen in any book, but it must have been a magic spell.
Although he did not think that this magician who had to disguise himself as a woman and hide in Nelson's house had any powerful means, he could not underestimate the enemy at any time, so Luo Zheyu also summoned his own weapon.
So far, this is the first time I have come face to face with the power of magic.
The magic books I read previously don’t count.
There are simple meditation rules and some basic magic spells in the magic books. Luo Zheyu has tried them one by one. However, he doesn’t know if it’s because he is not from this world, or because of his soul, he can’t feel any magical elements.
The same is true for fighting spirit.
As "Hetty" chanted the spell, the window that was bright and sunny just now darkened, and the room was gradually shrouded in darkness, becoming gloomy and dangerous, and something hidden in the dark corner was ready to move.
The floor shook slightly, as if something was trying to come out from under it.
Sure enough, the next moment, the floor cracked and dozens of white-clawed hand bones broke out from the floor. Against the backdrop of the dark and mysterious light, they looked extremely eerie and terrifying.
And the magic spell with unique rhythm from "Hetty" continued.
This is... a necromancer whose entire undead magic system is classified as forbidden magic?
On the day he came to this world, Nelson's family was interrogated by missionaries of the Church of Light. They were looking for "Hetty". He must have used some method to avoid the detection of the token in the hands of the missionaries of the Church of Light.
Luo Zheyu suddenly understood why "Hetty" could repeat the long string of Chinese names he had spoken without any obstacles and with accurate pronunciation after only listening to it once.
Just look at "Hetty" and you will know. Just the opening spell has to be so long and there can be no mistakes. It is true that not everyone can be a magician.
Seven or eight hand bones came over and scratched the recliner.
The sturdy wooden structure was instantly shattered into pieces under their sharp fingertips, and the recliner became tattered.
Luo Zheyu stood up from the recliner, and the tip of his shoe stepped directly on the bone of a hand that kept scratching the air.
The hand bones excitedly tried to grab him, and the five fingers kept stretching forward, trying to break away from the ground.
But in the next second, with a crisp "crack", it turned into a pile of scattered broken bones, which were stepped on by Luo Zheyu and could no longer move.
"Hetty" paused in the rhythm of chanting the spell, quickly took a few steps back, further away from Luo Zheyu, waved her wand in front of her, and quickly uttered a few new syllables, speaking a few points faster, and her voice involuntarily became louder because of her urgency.
More and more hand bones grew on the ground, and some of them no longer scratched at the air in vain, but instead supported themselves on the ground with their backhands.
"puff."
As the hand bones supported the ground, a white, round object broke away from the floor and popped out.
“Puff, puff, puff.”
White, round objects also quickly appeared in several other places.
Then, Luo Zheyu discovered that it was not some strange unidentified object, but the skulls of a bunch of white skeletons.
After pulling their bodies out of the ground, they surrounded Luo Zheyu. More than a dozen skeletons were crowded in the hotel room, making it extremely crowded.
"Hetty" stood in the back corner, chanting spells while moving quickly towards the door.
He never thought he could defeat Luo Zheyu from the beginning.
All he did was to escape.
After all, the opponent was an evil spirit that could subdue the eighth-level magical beast Red Falcon. "Hetty" was not so conceited as to think that she could challenge such a powerful evil spirit.
