Chapter 77 Regain
It is not easy to disguise your identity well. Perhaps it is relatively simple for Cheese, after all, his body is relatively thin, and except for a very few people who have come into contact with the Gray Tower, most people are not familiar with mages.
The gray robe actually doesn't have much thought. Therefore, whether cheese is pretending to be a scholar or a businessman, he can't see the problem, and the problem lies with the three Frost Guards. Regarding this point,
Cheese also went to consult the knights of the Kingdom Knights. As a result, these upright knights told the mage seriously that the characteristics of the Northlanders were very obvious to people outside the north, and they wanted to express their love to the wizard.
Ersa and the others' appearance has changed so that it is difficult for others to recognize them, and simple cross-dressing is impossible.
In desperation, Cheese could only use local materials to concoct a potion that was said to be able to change and cover up skin color. He accidentally learned the formula of this potion from Alina, but for Cheese at that time,
For a spell, he couldn't understand why the senior would treat this kind of potion that consumes a lot of materials as a treasure. For spell casters, if they really need to change their appearance, whether it is a transformation spell or a trick that can create illusions
They are much more practical than this potion. But now, considering that the mage cannot cast spells on the other three people 24 hours a day, this potion plays an important role.
"How do you feel?" Looking at the three people in front of him whose faces were about one-fifth darker than normal, Cheese asked.
"It's not as scary as it looks." Jack said, pointing to the half-full black ointment. When he first heard that Cheese asked them to apply this suspicious-looking thing on his body, he refused even if he died or died.
After the mage repeatedly assured that it was harmless to the human body, he reluctantly tried to use it.
"I didn't feel the skin itching you mentioned, so it seems we are not opposed to it?" Elsa said.
The Master had mentioned before that the ingredients in this ointment would make some people's skin feel uncomfortable, so he asked three people to try applying it on a small area of skin first, and then allowed them to apply it on a large area after confirming that there were no side effects.
But having said that, Cheese still didn't dare to be 100% sure about this kind of magic potion that he had no experience in using, so he asked everyone to report the situation to him after applying it all.
"That's good. This ointment can be made into different colors depending on the mixing ratio, but I still try to make the color match the skin color of the knights." The mage said. At the same time, he walked around the three of them and carefully observed their skin color.
Has it changed as you imagined?
"Wait a minute, you said this ointment can be mixed into different colors?" the boss's wife heard what Cheese said and asked.
"Yes, this can be regarded as one of the few advantages of this thing. Although I think it still has no practical value. You know, I worked hard all afternoon to make this ointment. Its manufacturing process is too cumbersome.
No more." The mage complained.
Elsa and Mona looked at each other. Although as men, Cheese and Jack did not think this ointment had any value, but as women, this kind of medicine that can affect skin color and has no side effects is simply difficult to use.
A treasure of imagination. You must know that in this era, the concept of cosmetics is still an extremely hazy and abstract thing. Although most intelligent creatures have a love for beauty, in this world where survival is more important than life, even
Human beings, who have the most extensive territory, have no intention of spending precious research resources on these insignificant things.
But the lack of it does not mean that there is no need. Although a naturally beautiful race like elves basically does not need cosmetics, for other intelligent creatures, especially human society with a large number of aristocrats, those aristocratic ladies are willing to pay any price for beauty.
You know, those aristocratic women would even apply mercury powder on their faces before the ball, which is commonly known as mercury, to enhance their skin color. However, the toxicity in mercury can cause irreparable damage to the human body, but even so, they
They did not hesitate to do so. It can be seen that if the ointment regarded as waste by Cheese flows into human society, it will probably plunge the entire kingdom into madness. At the moment, Elsa and the others briefly told Cheese about the use of his ointment in other people's society.
He also suggested that the mage disguise himself as a businessman and enter the royal capital in the name of selling these ointments.
"I can guarantee that as long as you hold a bottle of this sample, if that guard dares to enter the city without us, he will be trampled into mud by the ladies and ladies of the entire kingdom." This is what the boss lady said to the mage.
It's just that as a mage, Cheese has no shortage of ways to make money, and he entered the royal capital this time to keep a low profile. If he sells these ointments as merchandise, he may be able to make considerable profits, but being attracted by this profit will cause trouble.
There must be many of them. Therefore, although Elsa and the others repeatedly emphasized the value of this ointment, Cheese decided to dress up as mercenaries and enter the Cangshi Kingdom.
Speaking of the profession of mercenaries, it can be said that it has never been discontinued since mankind entered civilized society. Whether it is an era of peace or an era of war, whether the reigning emperor is wise or foolish, mercenaries are an indispensable part of the world.
It has never changed. And although it seems that mercenaries are a profession, in fact, depending on the professional commissions they receive, the differences between different types of mercenaries are much greater than the differences between any professions. Also
Because of this, people in the mercenary profession are all-encompassing, and their scope of work ranges from roosters and dog robbers to saving a country. This makes the identity of a mercenary very convenient. With such an identity
, no matter what kind of incident it is involved in, it will not make people feel strange. This is also the main reason why Cheese chose to do this.
At the same time, the mage also promised to make some ointments of specified colors for Elsa and Mona in his free time as a reward for the two people. After solving the appearance problem and finalizing the disguised identity, the few of them split up.
They each prepared their bags and waited until they officially entered the kingdom tomorrow morning. After Jack and Mona got up and left one after another, Cheese looked at the landlady and asked the question he had been wanting to ask.
"Speaking of which, Commander Jon's instructions to you should be to protect me to complete the control of the plague in the earldom. Now that your task has been theoretically completed, why do they still follow me and take such a big risk to the royal capital?
?”
The landlady smiled and said.
"Fortunately, you didn't ask them this question face to face. Otherwise, given their personalities, they might have really said goodbye and returned to Longji Mountain. But don't think that they didn't realize this. Mona and the others just didn't point it out."
"Why?" Cheese asked. In his opinion, since the mission of the Frost Guards has been completed, they should naturally return to the legion.
"Didn't you tell me just now? The reason why they want to continue to follow you is very simple. As legionnaires, they cannot leave Longji Mountain before their service period expires. And even if their service period expires, they want to leave from the north.
I don’t know how much trouble I will encounter all the way to the king’s realm. Instead of doing that, it’s better to follow your group and experience everything. On the one hand, it can be justified with Grandpa Jon, and on the other hand, it can really protect him.
Your safety. Do you understand?" After the boss lady finished speaking, she left with brisk steps. It could be seen that she was in a good mood. I don't know if it was because of the cheese ointment or because she was looking forward to the greater journey that was about to begin.
.
It seems that he was infected by the three of them, and the mage also feels that the prospect of this plague is not so pessimistic. Although he still knows very little about his opponent Cheese, this does not prevent the mage from knowing the abilities of himself and his teammates.
