A month - or a quarter of a year, is actually not too long. Considering that the territory of the Empire is larger than that of the Alliance, the tasks of these people are even more urgent.
Therefore, after saying goodbye to Fleur and others, they did not travel as leisurely as before. With the help of the continent map given to them by Sora, Yuffie used the advanced teleportation technique she had just mastered to send several people directly to Zecheng through the star realm.
nearby.
"This is really convenient. It originally took several days to travel, but it only took a blink of an eye." Lin looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that when we go back, we won't be able to enjoy such a good thing."
"Don't worry." Yuffie held her chin thoughtfully, "The current situation in El Continent... is probably caused by man-made things. As long as the specific cause is found, the connection with the star realm may be restored soon.
Already."
"That's good. Your intuition is usually right." The blonde girl immediately seemed happy. She stretched hard and pointed to the city not far away. "What should we do next? Find a way to sneak away.
Go in, or pretend to be a businessman and sneak in for a look?"
Zecheng, the base of the "Mist Club", is smaller than expected. Judging from the number of houses, there are only about 10,000 or 20,000 permanent residents, which is barely enough to reach the size of a large town.
They were standing on a hillside not far from the town - it was not far from the coastline, but there were still rolling hills nearby. Looking down from here, the structure of the city could be seen clearly. It was still early at this time, and the sun was just beginning.
A glimmer of light shone through, and most areas in the city were deserted. The guards at the city gate also looked listless. They occasionally looked back, as if they were waiting for their companions to take over.
Whether you sneak in secretly or disguise yourself as a businessman, now is a good time. Yuffie thought for a moment and decided to choose the latter option.
"The Mist Department is the department responsible for the Pale Hand's intelligence. There should be a lot of informants in the city. If we have an 'unknown origin', the possibility of attracting attention is not low." She explained this way, "As for the traveling merchants, for the traveling merchants,
In a city of this size, there will always be several of them every few days."
No one expressed any objection. So the group of four walked down the hillside and came to a small forest near the road leading to Zecheng, which was enough to block the view.
Lin took out a few light purple pills and distributed them to everyone, and took one herself. This was a medicine she had successfully developed not long ago based on her local alchemy knowledge.
Amidst a strange distortion, she quickly grew taller, her face became square, and her hair turned an inconspicuous black. When the distortion dissipated, the person standing in front of Yuffie was already an ordinary person.
A familiar Yinil young man - only the clothes on his body were a little too small and looked a bit out of place.
"Compared with the transfiguration technique, the advantage of this pill is that you don't need to remember what you looked like before." Lin muttered, while taking out a larger businessman's clothes from her waist bag, "The disadvantage is that it is not effective on the clothes on the body.
"She stuck out her tongue and struggled to change out of her clothes, "You should take them all off first before eating."
Yuffie and Anya also took pills one after another, transforming into the appearance of an Inir, and then changed into the clothes of a caravan guard. Gypsophila closed her eyes and let the magic flow through her body. When the magic dissipated, You
Fei discovered that the doll girl had actually become Noka's original appearance.
"The body of the doll can change freely with the shape of the soul. When I accepted Noka, I temporarily took note of his soul structure." Mangyexing looked very happy, and Yuffie could probably understand that it was because of her.
Showing the "level of work" of "Mother", "Since these Gurno people are everywhere, it's not surprising if there is one more."
This sentence is absolutely true - the Gernor people are as pervasive as the It people in the El Continent. You can see towns in the Alliance and the Empire, every big and small road, and even inaccessible forests and ruins.
to see their figures.
The difference is that due to their "excellent tradition" of "letting idle items circulate" and their "good habit" of making jokes regardless of the occasion, the Yit people are usually not very likable; the Gurno people are mostly very popular.
Welcome - because of the "rune technology" they have mastered, as well as their enthusiastic and helpful character. Apart from their height, the most similar thing between these two races is probably their love of adventure and fearlessness...or in other words, their lack of fear of death.
Character.
Yuffie could not confirm whether there was some kind of blood connection between these two short races. Suppose - just supposing that the Gurno people were indeed 'transformed' from the Yit people. What happened during this period?
What interesting story did you tell?
For an entire race to achieve this level of change may be a miracle that only true gods can achieve.
"Don't be dazed, let's go." Lin's tap came on the shoulder. Yuffie came back to her senses and saw a carriage loaded with goods parked in front of her. Needless to say, this was still Lin's handiwork: the vehicle was
The 'horse' that Luo Zhen had prepared for them before was disguised by Grace. It usually parked in the demiplane belonging to the spirit of arcane magic, and could be summoned with just a thought.
She gathered her thoughts, tried her best to look like a guard, and went to the city gate with the others. However, her caution was obviously a bit unnecessary. The two drowsy guards just looked at a few people and did a little inspection.
After loading the car—mostly dried fruits and groceries—he opened his mouth and yawned, while waving for them to pass.
The residents of this city didn't seem to have the habit of getting up early. It took them a while to find a tavern that was still open. Lin parked the vehicle aside and led the 'horse' to the stable provided by the tavern for travelers.
, fed it a handful of snacks made by himself, and then walked into the tavern with everyone.
There were no customers in the tavern. The owner, a middle-aged Yinil man with a beard, was cleaning glasses leisurely behind the bar and humming an unknown tune. When he saw a few people coming in, he moved his chin to the side.
Li Nu indicated that they could choose their seats as they pleased.
"Bring us some breakfast and something to drink. Forget about the wine, we have to go on our way later." The starry-eyed Noka walked to the bar, jumped onto a stool that was about the same height as her, and chatted with the boss in a familiar manner.
, "If you hadn't gotten up earlier, we might have had to eat dry food."
The middle-aged man put the cup in his hand on the bar and placed three cups next to it, "Water or goat's milk?"
"Water, I don't like the taste of goat's milk." Gypsophila frowned, "By the way, I heard there is a secret hidden in this city, boss, do you know?"
This kind of question is not out of the ordinary only when it is raised by the Gurno people. These little men have a rich 'adventurous spirit' and a lot of information from unknown sources - although most of it is not very reliable.
