I have proficiency in everything

Chapter 77;

The giant city of Shangjing.

The first city due east of the center of the empire.

The autumn wind blows on the vast wilderness, blowing back and forth with a whirring sound, blowing to high hills and valleys.

When it blows outside the walls of Shangjing, it becomes obedient like a docile kitten.

The majestic city wall is made of dark purple stone bricks, and it seems to be a seamless one when you look closely.

The city wall is hundreds of meters high, and the distance between the two sides is connected with the sky at the end, which actually surrounds the entire giant city.

On the city wall, airships can be vaguely seen patrolling back and forth.

Although there are many rebel organizations running around, the central area of ​​the empire is considered a peaceful area, so there is no need for strict scrutiny when entering and exiting.

If you are flying an airship, you need to go through the air inspection, but if you are going in and out as an ordinary resident, you only need to register the city entry information and pay the city entry fee.

In order to hide his identity, it is naturally impossible to drive an airship into the city.

Romer is a bit good at fighting, but he still has the ability to drag an airship with space magic.

As for Ye Zi, although the airship was dispatched to Kaqi to drive away, the "little cuties" he supported had a big family and had no time to help Romer share the burden.

On Kaqi's side, because of the [contract] restriction, they could only drive the airship to Moondown City.

After arriving there, according to Ye Zi, her family will arrange a good job for Kaqi until the incident happened on Mo Xun's side.

Of course, this will also become Ye Zi's talisman for a while.

In short, this seemingly incongruous and somewhat alien team is temporarily formed.

Ye Zi and Luo Mo are not at odds with each other, Mo Xun is also happy to see for the time being.

So far, so good!
----

It is not difficult to get through the city gate inspection, you only need to simply register your personal information.

Claire and Romer still used parasitic species to slightly change their appearance, while Mo Xun relied on the flexibility he had been exercising to change his appearance and body shape to a certain extent, turning him into a slightly taller and handsome guy.

It also opened up a new skill [Disguise], which is quite a useful skill, but I don't have much energy to focus on improving my proficiency, and I guess it will end up being left in the "skill library".

As for Lixiang, after breaking through to Ascendant and being able to freely manipulate pseudo-artifacts, her overall ability has made a qualitative leap, and it's only time to improve her accuracy.

Relying on some artificial disguises, such as false eyelashes, false eyebrows, false hair, false skin, etc., can be naturally fitted on the body, and with a dark brown cloak to cover it, it is difficult to see it normally.

As for Ye Zi, he also used some "botanist" methods to slightly change his appearance.

Because of the huge population base of the empire itself, relying on appearance to check is a relatively inefficient way, so there is no need to be alarmed in this regard.

After passing through the city gate, they entered the fringe urban area. They didn't go far, but when viewed from the inside, the purple city wall seemed to have disappeared.

"Was that city wall built before the new era?"

"No, it was completely repaired after nearly 100 years of approach."

……

The edge of the urban area looks very empty, and there are only tens of meters away from this building, which is about the same height, but it doesn't look like civilian use.

Other than that, there are large tracts of farmland, but what is planted is not rice, but vegetables or fruit trees.

The main road can also be followed by trails to the farmland, and the traffic on the rice paddies is painted into a picture scroll that is not magical but spectacular and idyllic.

According to Ye Zi's explanation, the "element printing" technology in Moros is indeed very mature, but in terms of consumption... more than a billion people are not in the same order of magnitude as supplying hundreds of thousands of people.

Naturally, the larger food production is not in the city, but in a larger specialized production base outside the city.

Most of the land properties in the fringe urban areas belong to the special supply channels of some wealthy families in the city.

The range of the fringe urban area is not large, about ten kilometers away, because ordinary residents seldom leave the city, so there are very few people.

At the junction of the fringe urban area and the central urban area, high-rise buildings of more than 20 meters began to appear.

The houses at the junction are of different heights, and from the criss-crossing, there is a trace of urban lively life.

Most of the people who live near here are people who work in the fringe urban areas. Some people just want to go out in the morning, and some just come back from the vegetable garden.

Those who come and go are only ordinary people with slightly stronger physiques.

Not everyone in this world has the qualifications to become extraordinary, and most people will only spend their lives ordinary in a city.

Walking through the trails in the junction area, you can see some children playing around, about five or six years old.

Children with household registration in Shangjing can go to children's school when they reach the age of seven.

After four years of Tong Xue, those with extraordinary qualifications can go to the middle school of the academy, and then have the opportunity to be promoted to the Imperial Academy.

If you don't have talent, you should go to college, learn a skill that can make a living, and then you can enter the society, get married and have children.

After passing through the junction area, the house gradually became taller.But it is also limited in height, most of them are about tens of meters in height, which is far inferior to the level of magic technology that Mo Xun guessed about the empire.

Pedestrians were sparse and ordinary, and their clothes were mainly made of cotton, and the colors were mostly dark blue or brown-black. Except for the occasional personal aircraft flying by in the middle of the road, there was not much smell of the magical world.

……

When they came to Zhongcheng District, they found a hotel and settled down temporarily.

For low-level commoners, anyone who has the ability to travel across cities is considered a big shot, and most hotels are specially opened for this kind of people.

So the cost is not small, a room costs 40 imperial silver coins a day.

The 40 silver coins are naturally not the real forty silver coins, but a denomination unit of paper currency that continues the name of the old era.

The denominations of copper, silver, gold, bauhinia, and black gold are converted into decimals. 40 silver coins can probably afford the expenses of several days for an ordinary family.

Because a certain rich woman didn't have any change, she didn't ask her to go to the bank to exchange currency for the sake of prudence.

The expenses of several people are temporarily paid by Romer.

Now about the itinerary.

Luo Mo wanted to go to Horatipu, and although Ye Zi gave up the idea of ​​abducting Lixiang and Mo Xun back to Yuexia, she still refused to go to a rat's den.

Even if Mo Xun confirmed that Romer can be trusted, this does not mean that the [Self-improvement Association] behind Romer can be trusted.Both Mo Xun and Ye Zi think so.

The two clamped down on each other, and Li Xiang must have firmly supported Brother Mo Xun's decision.In the end, Mo Xun decided to take the airship from Shangjing to leave the central area of ​​the empire, go to a large technical school city and then decide on the next step.

Of course, the airship they were going to take was naturally not the one they brought with them.

Because whether it is a private airship or a military airship, inspections and records are required when passing through each city, and a customs clearance certificate from the previous city is required, which can be described as very strict.

As for why he didn't walk, it was because if he walked wild at an extraordinary speed and was discovered by the search department, if he didn't have a professional certificate, he would be easily arrested and questioned as a cult member.

In comparison, taking a large civilian airship is not only much simpler to review, but also does not leave too many traces that can be traced.

If you want to take a public airship, in addition to the money for the ticket, you also need a more proof of identity that can withstand scrutiny.

Originally, it was necessary for Luo Mo to contact the brothers from the [Self-improvement Association] for help, but he didn't want Ye Zi to be prepared for this when he was away, so he directly arranged for Mo Xun and Li Xiang.

And promised that the security of the two identities is definitely higher than that of Romer and the others, Mo Xun can only accept this kindness.

Don't think it was so easy to exchange information in Moros before, but it is actually just the exchange network of Moros's internal system. There is a large information transmission circle in Moros.

Long-distance communication and information exchange still require communication magic, and it is naturally impossible to popularize it on a large scale.Therefore, in terms of information technology alone, the level of development in this world is not high.

It is also because of the cost of information verification. To distinguish the authenticity of information, there are different verification levels according to different things, and the fake identity that Ye Zi can provide is already considered to be of an extremely high level.

On the two silver-white books, the complete set of birthplace, family background, and how to come to Beijing are complete. Information such as appearance and fingerprints can be directly entered, which is very convenient.

Apart from the possibility of being backstabbed by Ye Zi, there are basically no disadvantages.

The silver book is similar to the "Moros Survival Manual". Although it is in the shape of a book, it basically plays the role of a mobile phone. In this world, it is called the front end.

Different pages also correspond to different functions of the front end, you can watch the time, record things, and even have some built-in puzzle games.

The front end of different specifications has more powerful functions that can be used. It can even record the magic circle to speed up the casting speed, or use it as a control to control airships or other magical items.

More similar to mobile phones, the more advanced and practical functions in the front end, the more "technology" is required, and this technology is magical ability. For example, if you want to use the communication function, you need to learn to activate the communication circle in the manual.

So this is an era dominated by magic.

However, the front end that Ye Zi gave to Mo Xun and the others was not that advanced. Apart from having a set of prepared fake identities, they only had the function of clock and information storage.

And Romer and Claire, who haven't settled the fake identities, have to settle the identity issue by themselves.

Only Ye Zi, Mo Xun and Li Xiang were left behind.

In Ye Zi's room.

"Here, if you don't plan to go to Horatipu, you don't need them at all, why don't you find a chance to bury them."

"I'm not someone who crosses rivers and destroys bridges." Mo Xun rolled his eyes and replied flatly.

【Roll your eyes】; There is a certain chance that the person you are talking to will feel guilty.

He didn't practice much at all, but he has already reached the tenth level, and added some attributes that are better than nothing to Mo Xun, and the effect of skills has also been promoted from the original ones that are not useful to the ones that are a little useful.

"Yes, yes, you don't worry about me anyway."

Ye Zi sat quietly on the bench, still busy as before, just talking like this with a little distraction.

"Is there nothing else besides this? Specially send them away."

"Of course there is."

"After all, you don't want them to understand you like I do."

Ye Zi stopped the calculation, turned around the chair, and said to Mo Xun and Li Xiang.

"I forgot to tell you some news. Although I have considered today's situation before I left, many of your preliminary research data and my guesses were automatically uploaded to Moros's database."

"I also gave you a very handsome code name called - Perfect Individual."

"How about it?"

Mo Xun sighed, he was mentally prepared when Ye Zi said "we are the same person", but since it has already happened, Mo Xun didn't pay much attention:
"Thank you, so any more bad news?"

"Gone."

"Next comes the good news."

Ye Zi took out a light yellow roll of paper from the storage space.

"Because I am no longer an employee of the empire, I can teach Rika the knowledge of magic and magic guidance. This should greatly improve Rika."

"However, there is a premise. She must also sign a contract with me. She cannot teach others what I teach, and she cannot use the magic I teach to make enemies of humans."

Mo Xun looked at the pale yellow scroll paper floating in Ye Zi's hand, this was the "contract" that forced Kaqi to obey Ye Zi's actions.

Mo Xun did not directly agree, but instead asked, "Can't Rome teach?"

"No, he is far from reaching such authority." Ye Zi shook his head and replied.

"The constraints of this contract are actually not strong. The human beings referred to are not an individual, or even an empire, but the human race."

"And this, this is also a rule that I can violate, the prerequisite for teaching Rika magic guidance and magic knowledge. Whether you want to learn it or not is up to you."

Sitting on the sofa, Li Xiang could feel the sincerity from Ye Zi's words.

In other words, Ye Zi is also restricted by this contract.

"What is the principle behind the contract?" Mo Xun couldn't help asking curiously.

"God."

"The only deity that humans can trust."

……

the other side.

Romer and Claire did not go far, but came to the first floor of the hotel.

The hotel where the five people lived was called Ronin Hotel. The name didn't sound very grand, but the whole hotel was not small. The 40 to [-]-meter-high building occupied several thousand square meters.

40 silver coins is only the smallest single room in the hotel.

On the first floor of the hostel is a hall that provides entertainment, drinking, singing, foot washing, and a series of massage services. Of course, these require additional costs.

On the edge of the railing of the corridor on the second floor, holding on to the railing and looking down, you can see many guests returning in the hall on the first floor.

All kinds of clothes, whether in fabrics or styles, are more than ten times richer than the ordinary people I met on the street before.

"Are they discussing how to bury us?" Claire asked suddenly.

Romer coughed twice and replied:

"Will not."

After all, the balance between myself and Ye Zi is also a kind of tacit understanding between everyone.

Then he paused and added:
"Not for now."

"It's better for the two of us to go back to Horatipu by ourselves." Claire suggested.

Unlike Mo Xun and Ye Zi, Claire really wanted to go to Horatipu to live a free life.

"Of course not. In that case, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?" Romer replied calmly.

But he didn't scold Claire, after all, neither Claire nor Mo Xun had yet integrated into the ideal of [Self-improvement Association].

"Don't worry, I will slowly persuade them to go to Horatipu together. After all, there are not many places in this world that can really accommodate them."

As the two of them came to the tavern on the first floor, Romer tore off a small advertisement on the bulletin board, and then went to the front desk with Claire.

"Boss, two glasses of red ale."

The two sat at the same table and drank a third of the wine.

Waited for a while.

After a long time, a former young man in a blue vest and a dark brown peaked cap came to their table: "Brothers, do you need any help?"

And this is the person Romer is looking for.

　Ask for monthly tickets, rewards, recommendation tickets and comments every day.

　　If you break the circle and go to the circle of book friends, you can have book coins to engage in activities.
