Chapter 60: Disguising
In the conversation with Yan Ling, although Qi Bei did not fully figure out Yan Lings background, at least he could confirm that they had a close relationship with the Star Master, which was enough.
When negotiating or cooperating with others, power is an important factor.
If Qi Bei wanted to cooperate with Starfall, but couldnt even meet the Star Master, his power would be at a disadvantage.
However, with these three elf girls in his hand, he didnt believe that the mysterious Star Master would not show up.
Qi Bei left the camp and gave the order for the Black Armored soldiers to pack up and head toward West Spirit City.
In the Golden Leaf Imperial City, the first snow of the year had just fallen. The majestic city was covered in a white radiance, adding a touch of enchantment.
The snow in the imperial city was not as fierce as in the northwest, where one night of snow and wind could block the doors. Nor was it as cold, where a runny nose would freeze into an icicle.
The snow in the imperial city was poetic and beautiful. People playing in the snow were everywhere, not just children, even the young ladies and gentlemen of noble families were all out, gathering around a charcoal fire by the river or in the suburbs, enjoying the snow and chatting, having their own fun.
At this moment, in the Dreaming Moon Palace, Ming Yue leaned lightly against the window of the pavilion, watching the playful palace girls in the garden, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of sadness.
That year, it was also a beautiful snow scene, and her mother closed her eyes forever.
Ming Yue, you must remember, men are like bees, collecting nectar when the flowers bloom, and avoiding them when they wither. Dont rely on men, they cannot be trusted. Only by becoming an extraordinary person can you control your own destiny. That woman, who bloomed her entire life for her man, never saw that man even when she closed her eyes.
Ming Yue exerted slight force with her delicate jade hand, and the window instantly frosted over, then turned to powder and fell.
Mother, I will definitely become an extraordinary person and not rely on anyone. Ming Yue murmured softly to herself, her gaze penetrating the superficial and reaching the essence of things.
Just then, a clear crane cry sounded from far to near.
West Spirit City was originally built as a military city by the Golden Leaf Empire when they were at war with the Orc Empire. Its scale was as large as half of the imperial city and could accommodate a million people. In order to resist the strong attacks of the orc tribes, West Spirit City had thick walls and eight magic towers, which are called magic fortresses here.
The magic fortresses were built with special materials that can withstand not only powerful physical attacks but also magical attacks. Mages are recruited in the magic fortresses and concentrate on casting magic spells to attack the enemy.
Today, West Spirit City has become the most chaotic city in the surrounding area, but its defense settings are still in place.
The city is guarded by an army of soldiers from various forces, which actually insults the name army. The city guards of West Spirit City belong to various forces, not only with chaotic command and disunity but also often fighting each other. Moreover, they are actually more like rogues and bandits than soldiers.
They dont care about smashing, looting, killing and arson. But if a strange merchant group or a weak adventurer falls into their hands, they wont let them go unless they are stripped of their skin.
At this moment, Qi Bei stood far away, looking at this city, which was supposed to be his fiefdom, but he had to regain it with his own strength.
Change clothes, Qi Bei ordered.
Immediately, more than two hundred Black Armored soldiers quickly took off their standard armor and weapons and put on the dress of mercenaries.
As for Huan Ying, she also changed into the disguise clothes that Qi Bei stripped off the Goth Princess, and the mysterious fake belly was removed by Qi Bei and replaced with a soft cloth.
Lone Eye stood in front of Qi Bei, disguising him.
To be fair, Lone Eye was really talented. Not only could he master the tricks of all walks of life, but he was also an expert in disguising.
In a short while, Qi Beis appearance became similar to that of the Goth young man who had died, and his ears were also attached with long fake ears. Although the ears of Goth people are also long and pointed like elves, they are dull and much uglier than the exquisite ears of elves with beautiful elf marks.
Qi Bei looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
Enter the city, Qi Bei faced the direction of West Spirit City, and turned into a Goth couple with Huan Ying, riding in a carriage. At first glance, there was really no difference from the previous Goth merchant group, except that the killing intent on these mercenarys bodies was too strong.
