Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 29 Black Swordsman
After Qi Ji left the Witch Forest , he quickly rode his horse to the outside of Irithyll City.
He originally planned to go directly into the city, but he saw from afar several .
He took out the glasses that the old witch had given him and put them on. With his terrifying eyesight, he could see the contents of the wanted poster clearly from a kilometer away.
One of the wanted posters reads:
[Recently, a witch and three people with her committed a crime in the Witch Forest outside the city of Irithyll. They ambushed and killed a senior bishop of the Holy See, and the Holy See was furious. All citizens are requested to report any person with the following characteristics to any church guards or the city lord's mansion immediately. Those who provide true clues will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 gold coins. Those who kill any criminal and provide solid evidence will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 gold coins.]
There were also four lifelike portraits posted below, and Qi Ji was one of them.
Qi Ji cursed inwardly, rode his horse away from the official road into the wilderness, took out the bell and shook it.
Soon, Lani's voice came out: "What's wrong?"
Qi Ji said helplessly: "Teacher Lani, I'm in a bit of trouble now..."
So he told Lani about the wanted notice and asked if there was any way to solve it.
After hearing this, Lani did not give him any advice at first. Instead, she asked meaningfully, "So, was it you who did the 'sneak attack and killing of a senior bishop'?"
Qi Ji paused for a moment, knowing that his excuses would not work, so he could only admit, "Yes, I was lucky enough to kill one of the masters they were chasing after me. As for whether he was the senior bishop they mentioned, I don't know."
Lani said in a surprised voice: "The senior bishop is at least a fourth-level expert. Did you really kill him?"
Qi Ji replied with a stiff face: "The magic armor condensed by that person was very simple in appearance. It should have just reached the fourth level, so I killed him with my own methods."
"I am becoming more and more interested in Mr. Qi Ji as I defeated and killed the fourth level with the first level. You find a secluded place and wait there. I will have someone send you something to facilitate your entry into the city." There was a smile in Lani's voice.
The two ended the call, and Qi Ji followed Lani's instructions and found a more secluded place to wait quietly.
Five or six hours later, in the dusk, a crow flew from the horizon and landed beside Qi Ji.
As it descended, its entire shape changed rapidly, and in the smoke it turned into a black-haired beauty with a hot body and a cold face, wearing a black tight dress.
The beauty glanced at Qi Ji and said coldly: "Lani asked me to give you something."
Qi Ji looked at the woman in front of him, and his mind flashed back to the witch who could transform and control crows that Melina introduced to him when he first arrived at the Witch Club.
"I am, you must be the Raven Witch, Ms. Melfi?" he replied with a smile.
The beauty agreed with his words and didn't seem to want to talk to him any more. Instead, she took out a white object from her bosom and threw it to him.
Qi Ji took it and looked down, only to find that it was a white mask without any pattern decoration. It felt like some kind of elastic hard gel in his hand.
"Is your solution to make me wear a mask?" Qi Ji asked hesitantly.
The Holy See is not so stupid as to allow people wearing masks to enter the city without being checked, right?
"This is a magic prop. Put it on and imagine the appearance you need in your mind. I will use magic to solidify it for you." Melfi said lightly.
Qi Ji put on the white mask with great interest according to Melfi's instructions.
Melfi walked forward, held Qi Ji's face with both hands, and pressed her forehead against his through the mask.
"You..." Qi Ji almost jumped away.
"Don't move, you're wasting time." Melfi said impatiently, "Think about what you want to become."
Qi Ji stopped moving. Following Melfi's instructions, several faces flashed through his mind, and finally solidified into one person's face.
At the same time, Qi Ji felt a burst of cool energy coming from Melfi's hands holding his face, and a burst of heat coming from where their foreheads touched.
The mask on his face seemed to turn into a layer of flowing water, constantly wriggling and changing.
More than ten seconds later, Melfi took two steps back and saw Qi Ji's transformed face, a strange look flashed across his face.
Strong, resolute, mature and handsome.
It was completely different from Qi Ji's original style, which was more of a handsome man.
It was the face of Guts, an opponent he had fought in the Tower of Transcendence.
"How is it?" Qi Ji raised the corner of his mouth.
Melfi nodded slightly: "It's better than your original face."
She then said calmly: "The effect of this mask can last for a month. During this time, this face is your face, and conventional detection methods cannot detect it."
After saying that, she took a few steps back, jumped lightly into the air, and turned into a crow again and flew into the sky.
After Qi Ji watched Melfi go away, he summoned the Berserker Armor and put it on.
Then he put the sheathed single-edged sword and wolf sword and shield into the sword bag - after getting the Berserker Armor, he "reluctantly" discarded the titanium alloy armor, and now the sword bag has enough space to hold a bunch of things.
Then he summoned the huge sword Manyan and put it on his back.
Black armor and giant sword.
Now we are all set. From now on, we will call him Gus.
…
In the tavern in Irithyll, the atmosphere around a corner was a little dull for a moment.
A tall young man wearing ferocious black armor, carrying a giant stone sword as tall as a door panel on his back, with a resolute and handsome appearance, sat silently at a table.
Qi Ji in this outfit was indeed quite intimidating. Within a few meters around him, the mercenaries or adventurers who were originally chatting loudly could not help but lower their voices.
After he successfully entered the city by changing his identity through disguise, he randomly found a hotel to check into, then went downstairs and found a lively tavern. After ordering some simple drinks and meals, he sat there quietly listening to the conversations of these people from all over the world.
Some of the strange anecdotes he heard could help to relieve the boredom of his journey.
"Have you heard that the Eagle Group spent a huge amount of money to hire a fourth-order marquis-level super expert to go to the desert together, saying that they want to rescue their leader, the most popular White Eagle."
"I've heard about this. It seems like he's been gone for a few days. Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"They didn't come back..." The voice was lowered. "According to rumors, the entire army, including that Marquis expert, was wiped out!"
"It seems that the invincible Eagle Group has run into a tough opponent."
…
The Eagle Group?
Qi Ji touched his chin and couldn't help but think of the white eagle Femont who held the Abyss Egg.
I'm afraid things are not that simple.
