Perspective: Fran Location: Coastal City

At this moment, chaos reigns outside the city for two reasons.

First, the ruler of Li Guoguo announced an alliance with the Aquatic Tribe and declared their intention to eliminate domestic resistance to the Aquatic Tribe.

Second, news of Hei Luoli's return to the country has reached Li Shuang, and now a large number of troops are on their way to capture us.

However, thanks to the final message Fir sent before they infiltrated the underwater area, we decisively attacked the shop mentioned in the message and obtained the intelligence from the shopkeeper. Therefore, at this moment, we have hidden in an old abandoned house in the city to evade the outside search.

"I must say, Alexia, how did you concoct that potion? The effects are truly terrifying."

Suddenly, beside us, Canelia asked.

"Huh? Interested? It's just a laxative."

"That potion works fast and is powerful. Look at that shopkeeper, just a drop and he couldn't leave the restroom."

It is rather amusing to think about.

When we visited the blacksmith shop earlier, the shopkeeper completely denied everything that happened. Since we had no truth serum or such, we came up with a compromise by giving this fellow a dose of a laxative.

And speaking of laxatives... Alexia actually brought out several types! And she even categorized them based on the duration of effects and level of pain. Initially, the shopkeeper continued to deny, so we made him ingest the mildest one.

The following scene was simply dreadful, let's not go into too much detail.

The shopkeeper was planning to resist a bit longer, but when Alexia brought out another bottle with double the power, he immediately knelt down and spilled the truth.

Oh, the poor soul. I thought being a dark mage was terrifying enough, but now it seems potion masters are just as scary, along with the likes of Sally, Felia, and that one called Dornanal, all emanating a very frightening aura. I have no idea why such individuals are in Fir's class... They were already a scary bunch, and now with these folks, it's even more frightening.

But that makes it all the more interesting, doesn't it? Hehe~

"Well, then I'll turn it into a trade. The weakest one will cost a gold coin, and for stronger ones, add another gold coin. How's that?"

"You, you're quite the business-minded one..."

"Yep, I heard Teacher Lin has a friend named Lanya who built her fortune on this kind of business, so I thought I'd give it a try."

"Hmm..."

Is this Lanya person really that famous? Come to think of it, others seem unaware that Lanya is one of the bosses behind the Blue Moon Corporation.

That person, always cooped up in the development room... Otherwise, they might have become invisible by now. Just then, suddenly, the footsteps of several people approaching echoed!

We hurriedly hid, and as we did, I heard the sound of the door being opened.

"Are they here?"

"Shall we search?"

It sounded like two individuals had arrived, and we remained hidden, quietly listening from our cover.

This hiding spot was rather remote and dilapidated, abandoned for who knows how long, with the walls looking like they were about to collapse.

However, I didn't expect the other party to actually chase after us, which is quite diligent of them.

Well, if they were to discover us, then we would have no choice but to completely erase them from this world. I don't particularly enjoy tasks involving killing, but it's for the sake of peace after all.

Having said that, I already had my staff ready in my hand.

"Let's forget about searching and just speak up."

"That's true, or else we might be misunderstood."

"Yes, um, if our friends helping to guard the city are here, please quickly escape from the east side of the city after we leave. We will continue searching to the west, so please don't worry."

"That's right, please rest assured, we won't deceive you. We are truly grateful for your help in guarding the city. However, as servants of the Lord, we cannot defy his orders, so please flee."

With that, the two individuals closed the door and left.

After waiting for a while until they were gone, we came out of hiding.

"What do we do now? We..."

Before I could finish my sentence, I saw Alexia beside me handing me a vial.

"Eh? What's this?"

"Transformation water, it can slightly alter facial features, but it will revert back in three minutes."

"This..."

Isn't this similar to Fir's Transfiguration? Except it's in potion form.

But it is quite convenient, much better than my hair conditioning techniques.

After taking the potion, our appearance indeed changed! At a glance, it was fine, but upon closer inspection, it still resembled our original features.

However, this effect was acceptable.

"Alright, let's make our way out in one go!"

I said.

"No, no, that would be very dangerous."

Suddenly, Sally, who had been standing by all this time, spoke up.

"Eh?"

What is this little one talking about?

Though I can't say the information from those two was false, based on my assessment, they may have also been misled by the intelligence they received, sending us inaccurate information.

"You've got quite the elaborate thinking, young one. So what should we do then?"

"Well, I recall Dale not only bringing one airship. Why don't we control one of the airships to pick us up and escape?"

"An airship? Who can pilot it?"

"Hill can fly the airship, I can summon it here. Any objections?"

"Hill?"

I looked at Hill, who nodded.

"You're quite impressive, young one. Alright then, we'll go with your plan."

"Very well."

With that, she snapped her fingers, and suddenly, the outline of an airship appeared in the sky! How impressive, she really pulled it off. Full marks for theatrics.
