Also, I am asking a kind-hearted girl to help draw the map that everyone requested. It has been uploaded in the past few days. I have zero art skills...

Honka repeated blankly: "Through the Shahran Empire?"
Lucien saw that his mass panic technique had caused all the thugs outside the cubicle to collapse to the ground, and the gentlemen who were buying and selling information in the cubicle were too frightened to come out, so he did not enter the room and put his hands in the pockets of his long coat.
Standing leisurely in the corridor on the second floor, looking at Gu Song who retreated with his back against the wall, he smiled and said:
"Yes, we passed through the Shahran Empire and arrived at the countries that believe in different gods in the northeast of the Dark Mountains. Mr. Gusong, I think you can also see that I am a magician. In the Shahran Empire, I will be protected by the God of Truth.
Teach the hunt for the Northern Church, so I need a guide who is familiar with the geography, nobility, and general customs of the Shahran Empire, so that I can walk safely in the Shahran Empire."
After learning from Gaston that the focus of the church was slowly shifting and that the blockade of the Storm Strait was becoming increasingly strict, Lucien did not take the risk of making the leap. Instead, he followed his advice and took the magic steam train through the Kingdom of Holm and the Kingdom of Camelot.
, arrived at the deep-sea port of the famous city in the North, and then spent more than two months walking through the depths of the North where forests were densely covered, and trolls, orcs, etc. often appeared, and arrived at the Eastern Exile, where the southwest of the virgin forest is the desert.
The Flame Fortress in the northeast of the Helan Empire.
During this period of time, Lucien constructed another spell in his soul called "Dispel Magic" which is very important to third-ring magicians.
Across the Shahran Empire, on its southwestern edge is Lucien's destination, the Principality of Vaorit.
In the past, smuggling into the confrontation between the North and South churches was more dangerous than the Storm Strait, but after the focus of the church shifted, the latter became much more difficult.
After the explanation mixed with lies, Gu Song probably understood Lucien's request. He took two deep breaths and regained some of the composure of the leader of the intelligence organization: "Sir, you are worried that you will be in the Shahran Empire for a long time."
Flying easily detectable, requiring a fake identity and a guide to help you cover up unlike the Shahran Empire style?"
"Mr. Gumatsu, you are very smart." Lucien smiled gently, but he was cursing in his heart. If my flying skills could reach the speed of airplanes on Earth, which is the level of high-level magicians, it would take three or four days.
The flying stops have passed, but so far, my flying skills are equivalent to the running of an ordinary carriage.
Gu Song saw Lucien's calm and graceful attitude. He intuitively felt that he was not that kind of ruthless magician. After pondering for a while, he said: "Sir, I suggest you go to Taran Bar to find Leo. He used to be someone from the Shahran Empire.
The assistant of a big smuggler, his business once reached the pagan country in the northeast of the Dark Mountains and the heretical principality of Veorit. Later, he offended the big smuggler and he killed his whole family. I was lucky enough to rely on my precious
The magic scroll escaped to Sudbury Valley."
"The flame of revenge and the strength of the quasi-knight made him survive with great difficulty. He continued various tasks crazily, trying to save money to buy precious magic potions to improve his strength, and then go back for revenge."
"He is good at using non-magical means to change his appearance. He is very familiar with the nobles, various fortresses and most of the geographical environment within the Shahran Empire. He is the most suitable candidate."
Lucien thought for a while, his smile did not fade and he said: "I'm not too worried about Leo. After arriving in the Shahran Empire, if he meets the big smuggler, he will probably lose control of his emotions."
"Don't worry, sir, Leo is a man who has the spirit of a knight to keep his promise. As long as you sign a magic contract, he will not break it. Maybe it is because of this that he offended the big smuggler. Sometimes he is too
It is not good to be principled." Gu Song suggested again, "He is definitely the most suitable candidate. The others either have no experience in crossing the Shahran Empire, or they are exiled nobles and cannot be good guides."
Lucien thought seriously for a while: "Then I'll go see Leo first."
"He won't let you down." Gu Song said firmly with an emphasis on his tone, "It's just that something happened to him recently and I don't know where he went. The only clue so far is that someone has seen him in Taran Bar.
"
Just after he finished speaking, he saw that Lucien's brown pupils, whether it was his monocle-wearing left eye or his bare right eye, were like a rapidly rotating vortex, allowing his soul and spirit to dive in uncontrollably.
After entering, my mind became confused for a while.
After using the charm to control Honoka, Lucien verified the information one by one, and then used "hypnosis" to make Honatsu forget the memory. Although Lucien could not modify or weave the memory, nor could he truly erase the memory.
, but it is still possible to make Gu Song subconsciously forget the key points, and even if someone tracks down Gu Song in the future, the Lucien in his memory will also be disguised!
Because he is the winner of the Holm Crown Award, he doesn't know to what extent the Northern and Southern Churches control his appearance, and the magic concealment technique can easily be seen by fifth-level bishops and night watchmen, and Lucien himself is not good at transformation.
Magic, so when I went out this time, I made some camouflage items that did not involve magic, such as insoles that grew three centimeters in height when placed in leather shoes, such as brown contact lenses made with deformed evil pupils (which did not have any effect on enhancing vision).
, just transparent and thin), such as two beautiful unshaved mustaches, paired with a monocle, which makes you look more elegant.
After a long time, Gu Song looked around as if waking up from a nightmare.
"What happened just now? Where are the two knights?" Gu Song thought about it for a moment, and his head began to throb. As the head of an intelligence organization, he quickly understood that he had met a strong person, so he simply gave up thinking and only remembered that there was
A magician forced his way in. As for what happened next or what he asked, he couldn't remember anything.
The thugs lying on the floor of the hall gradually lost their fear. Just now they seemed to have encountered the thing they were most afraid of in their lives, such as the legendary dragon, so they were scared out of their wits.
"You bastards, get up and clean the hall quickly, and change your clothes!" Gu Song smelled the stench and roared in a bad mood, then ordered his men to find the two knights, fearing that their competitors would take this opportunity to assassinate them.
…………
"Talan Bar. The Eastern Exile's own bar."
When Lucien saw this log sign, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, then he pushed open the bar door and stepped into the crowded bar.
As Lucien entered, countless scrutinizing eyes looked at him almost at the same time, but they left as soon as they touched him, continuing to talk and laugh loudly. It was as if that second of silence had never occurred.
When Lucien controlled Tony, the gatekeeper of Gusong Cottage on Cross Street, he showed his strength openly and openly without hiding it. Moreover, the two knights who ran away in fear were also seen by many people in the East Exile, so there were many people in the bar.
A very restless guy probably knew that Lucien was a stronger man than them, and did not dare to provoke him. Most of the rest of the people who did not know who Lucien was and did not know the extent of his strength, saw those few
After the guy made no move, he gave up his plan and prepared to observe for a while.
This is the law of the Eastern Exile! Outsiders without strength and connections can only die. Even the residents of the Eastern Exile will not end well if they are abandoned by their companions or do not know how to please the strong. This law is so naked and
cruel!
Most people in the Eastern Exiled Area want to make a lot of money and quickly buy channels to live in a normal country where there are rules, laws and no wanted persons. A small number of people are fond of killing and bloody, and want to live without restraint.
People who are free and respect the strong love this place crazily.
When walking through the narrow aisle between the tables in the bar, Lucien seemed to not belong here, still maintaining a calm and unhurried attitude.
"Hello, I want to ask about something." Lucien knocked on the bar table.
The blond young man who seemed to be the bartender wiped the glass without raising his head: "You need a glass of wine."
"Give me a glass of Les." Lucien knew that this was a common rule in all bars, so he did not object and ordered a drink that made him nostalgic. This was the first drink he heard after coming to this world.
The blond young man finally raised his head. He had a nice face and a slightly unruly temperament that was very suitable for the Eastern Exile. Then he poured Lucien a glass of golden Les wine: "What do you want to ask?
"
Lucien did not drink, but looked at the golden liquid as if he were appreciating a work of art: "I want to know where Leo is."
"A lot of people have been looking for him recently." The bartender did not answer directly.
Lucien stopped looking at the glass of wine in his hand, raised his head and said, "I am an employer and I plan to hire Leo."
The bartender said calmly: "Others are also here to 'hire' Leo." His tone was a bit sarcastic.
Hearing the conversation between the two, several strong men in scale armor sitting around a table in the back suddenly stood up, and the armor on their bodies made crisp metal collision sounds.
Their leader is a man in his thirties with a fierce temperament. His left eye is empty and has no eyeball, which is very scary.
He held a two-handed giant sword and walked up to Lucien with his iron boots making a clear sound on the floor. His tall body was slightly bent and he asked in a threatening tone: "What is your relationship with Leo? Once upon a time.
Where have we met? Boy, you have to understand that I am asking a question on behalf of a certain big shot in the Eastern Exile, and you have to answer it well, otherwise you will definitely not be able to see the sun rise tomorrow."
"Actually, Leo and I don't know each other. I heard that he has chivalry and keeps his promises, so I plan to hire him to do something." Lucien answered calmly on the surface, but in fact he was weighing whether he should do it or not.
It is necessary to continue looking for Leo. Firstly, it is a waste of time, and secondly, he seems to be in trouble.
The man who was blind in his left eye did not give up and said viciously: "Who introduced me? What should I do? You'd better answer honestly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lucien's left hand wearing a white glove leave the wine glass and grab it towards him.
Its speed was extremely fast, and the leader man was already grabbed by the throat when there was still a shadow in his pupils. He did not react at all during the whole process.
Lucien looked at him with a smile: "Didn't your mother tell you when you were a child not to inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about?"
"You...you'd better let me go, otherwise you won't be able to walk out of the Eastern Exile alive. The big shot behind me..." The leading man was frightened at first, and then deliberately grinned, but in the blink of an eye he was pinched hard by Lucien's left hand.
I was speechless.
Lucien smiled and shook his head: "It's still unknown whether I can leave the Eastern Exile Area alive, but if you keep talking like that, you will definitely not be able to get out of Taran Bar. Do you want to try? By the way, let me tell you a secret quietly.
, I am also a big shot."
As if he had been fooled, the leader's face turned red, but he was speechless. Only then did his men react and draw their swords to surround him.
Suddenly, a swordsman wearing the same style of black scale armor ran out from behind the bar and shouted: "Leo has been found, he is in the secret room of the bar!"
The bartender's face changed drastically, but he was blocked by a swordsman just as he was about to stand up. The other swordsmen seemed to have forgotten their leader, and ran to the back of the bar with their armors clanking, while two people who were obviously more powerful than the high-ranking ones also ran out from another corner of the bar.
The quasi-knights of the knight's attendants followed, they were the real means of ambush!
Lucien looked at the leader whose throat he had pinched in amusement, and shook his head sympathetically: "It seems that the big shot doesn't value you too much. Even if I kill you, he probably won't take revenge on me. I don't know where he is.
A lord?"
"How do you know?" the leader asked in shock after his throat was released, and saw Lucien patting his clothes and getting up.
