From Wild Mage to Wizard King.

Chapter 455 What Wendy Saw and Heard (Part )
In the carriage, two spellcasters sat facing each other.

Wendy glanced at the luxurious decorations in the carriage. She was used to poverty and found it hard to adapt. She felt a little restless.

"Miss Wendy is going to Donnar as well?"

As Wendy fidgeted, the spellcaster in front of her smiled and spoke gently.

Hearing her words, Wendy came back to her senses, nodded slightly and responded.

"Yes."

"Excuse me, Miss Wendy, as a fifth-ring spellcaster, why are you going to Donnar this time?"

Hearing the question from the girl in front of her, Wendy did not hide anything and simply expressed her opinion.

"I read some bad news about Donnar in the Book of Wisdom, so I plan to come and see the real situation of Donnar in person."

"Oh?"

The girl took a sip of black tea, tilted her head slightly, and said with just the right amount of curiosity as if it was natural.

"Does Miss Wendy know the War Council's policy toward outsiders?"

"do not know."

Wendy shook her head and gave a calm answer.

"The War Council does not allow outsiders to act freely, huh?"

The girl looked at Wendy and said with a smile.

"Although you are a fifth-ring spellcaster, Miss Wendy, according to the committee's policy, if you do not have a special permit, you can only operate in a few cities open to the outside world."

"Eh?"

Wendy was stunned for a moment. Ever since she was promoted to the intermediate level, she was basically treated and flattered wherever she went. Even during the Rose War, as a neutral intermediate level transcendent, she could freely enter any place except for military strongholds.

Therefore, she never thought that she would not be able to enter the War Council. It was not that she did not inquire about the situation of the War Council, but mainly because the evaluation of the War Council in the Book of Wisdom was all negative, and she could not find any information related to the committee's policies.

As for other intelligence, as a neutral spellcaster who has not joined any school, Wendy's intelligence channels are very limited. Most of the time, her only intelligence channel is the Book of Wisdom.

Looking at the somewhat surprised Wendy, the girl smiled and said.

"Can you tell me why you want to know the true situation of Donnar? I have a way to help you contact the officials of the committee quickly. If your reasons are suitable, I can help you apply for a special permit."

Wendy pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the girl the news she had heard in the book of wisdom, and also expressed her own thoughts.

"So, I want to go to Donnar and find out the truth, if Donnar is really like hell."

Listening to Wendy's words, the girl suppressed the smile in her heart, resisted the urge to laugh, twitched the corners of her mouth, forced herself to calm down, and said.

"Those are some, uh, unique ideas."

"It's just some personal prejudices. I personally don't really believe in them. You can read the words in the books of wisdom, but you can't believe them completely."

Wendy paused and continued.

"Compared to the opinions on the forum, which have been distorted by many personal biases, I trust what I see and hear more."

The girl smiled and said.

"Although this is my first time to Donnar, the War Council may have some shortcomings, but it is not as exaggerated as they say."

"Indeed, a country that can defeat the Green Tide and reclaim the North, I don't think they just rely on exploiting civilians, like silver."

Just as Wendy was about to give an example, she caught a glimpse of the luxurious decorations on the carriage from the corner of her eye, and she coughed lightly and did not continue.

However, Wendy didn't intend to say it, but the girl took the initiative to finish her words.

"Just like the Silver Empire, it has been oppressing civilians for so many years, isn't it still like this? Forget about regaining the homeland."

The girl sneered and said in a mocking tone.

"During the Rose War, those fat princes and nobles performed worse than the militia recruited during the war."

"Be careful what you say."

Wendy said as a reminder.

"Oh, don't worry. This is the Blade Border's territory. They are all from the militia. We are praising them. Besides, unless there is a special situation in the future, I will probably not return to Sinar. It doesn't matter if I curse a few times."

The girl said casually.

If you don't go back to Sinar, I will.

Wendy complained in her heart somewhat helplessly.

At the same time, the girl seemed to have just realized Wendy's situation and skipped the topic awkwardly.

Wendy also cooperated and skipped the topic, asking with some curiosity.

"What about you? Why are you heading to Donnar? From what you said, are you planning to join the war council?"

"Well, we are planning to join the war council."

The girl nodded, shrugged, and continued.

"Why? Well, to avoid trouble from Sinar."

"Well, there are some problems in the clan, and they want to ask my mother to come back to take charge and inherit the title. However, my mother and I left the clan more than ten years ago, so we are not interested in this. We don't want to be harassed by them, so we plan to run to Donnar to seek refuge with our friends."

"I see. It's a question of succession to the nobility."

Wendy nodded and said.

"The inheritance of a title is indeed a troublesome matter. It is indeed a waste for a talented spellcaster like you to devote yourself to the trivial affairs of the nobility just for a piece of territory."

Hearing Wendy's words, the girl pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and did not answer.

After chatting about the reasons and purposes of their respective trips to Donnar, the two began to communicate casually, ranging from spell models to the latest gossip on the forum, from geographical knowledge to political views, both of them were very happy and attentive in chatting.

While the two were chatting, the carriage left the Blade's Edge through the direct passage jointly established by the Blade's Edge and the Committee, crossed the buffer zone, and arrived at the border wall of Donnar.

After passing the border wall inspection, Wendy also got off the carriage with the identification issued by the committee.

"please wait."

The girl's voice came from behind Wendy. Hearing the voice, Wendy stopped and turned to look at her.

After Wendy looked at her, the girl showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and said.

"I was so engrossed in the conversation just now that I almost forgot to give you the things. Go on."

After saying that, the girl threw a badge over.

Wendy caught the badge thrown by the girl.

"Take this badge and go to the nearest city and find the officials at the city hall. I have applied to the committee for you. If nothing unexpected happens, they will ask you a few simple questions and then give you the charter."

"Goodbye, Miss Wendy. I hope we will have the chance to meet again in the future."

"Goodbye, Miss Sophia, I think we will meet again." Wendy waved to the girl and said goodbye.

Sophia also smiled slightly, and then the carriage started and slowly disappeared from Wendy's sight.

After the girl left, Wendy also looked at the badge in her hand.

When she saw the badge clearly, Wendy was also a little surprised.

The badge of the soul bloodline? Or the badge of the newly promoted high-level spellcaster Heiss.

According to the regulations of the Tower of Truth, high-level spellcasters can add other elements to the school emblem to form their own school emblem.

Generally speaking, this kind of highly personal badge can only be obtained by high-level spellcasters themselves, their relatives, and apprentices.

The spellcasters of the Tower of Truth's school defected to the War Council? Is this true?
Although the school does not restrict its spellcasters from joining secular forces, there is still an unspoken rule in the Tower of Truth that this secular force is limited to the territory of the Silver Empire.

Sophia.
Wendy thought about the name, but couldn't really come up with anything useful.

At most, she remembered the high-level spellcasters in the Tower of Truth. As for the mid-level spellcasters, Wendy only remembered a few with whom she had a good relationship, and she basically didn't know the rest.

If you can’t think of it, don’t think about it.

Wendy put the doubts in her mind behind her, took the badge and map, and began to walk along the cobblestone road towards the nearest city.

To be honest, after entering Donnar, Wendy had some doubts about the news on the forum. If the War Council was really as they said, then the border of the Council was too peaceful and harmonious.

Moreover, the confidence on the committee members' faces and their physical strength on the border wall are real and do not seem to be acted.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the War Committee specially found a group of actors to be on the border wall.

This is not impossible. Wendy had encountered such a thing when she traveled to various vassal states before.

However, Wendy gave up this idea after she entered the first city.

Looking at the prosperous city in front of me, I saw the happy and laughing Donnar people coming and going on the streets.

Wendy didn't think that the War Committee could find so many actors with such superb acting skills that they could fool even a mid-level transcendent like her.

However, although she felt that all the lies on the forum were lies, Wendy still believed that there must be a source for these lies to be spread on the forum, right?
Thinking of this, Wendy looked at a grocery store nearby. On the table at the door of the grocery store, there were books called "Golden Law".

This is what the committee calls law?

Wendy stood in front of the table, looking at the [Golden Law] in front of her, examining them thoughtfully.

"Is this your first time here, little girl?"

A voice sounded from beside Wendy. Wendy turned her head and saw an old lady standing beside her with a smile on her face.

"Yes ma'am, this is my first time in Donnar."

Wendy nodded and said.

"How does it feel?"

the old woman asked cheerfully.

Wendy looked up at the busy street not far away and spoke hesitantly.

"Well, how should I put it? It's more prosperous than expected. It's not quite what I imagined."

After hearing Wendy's answer, the old lady smiled even more. As an old lady who had witnessed the construction of this city from scratch and had personally participated in the construction project, she also regarded this city as her new hometown.

She must be somewhat happy when outsiders praise her hometown.

"You are a good girl, eh? I think you are interested in the law. Take it. It's a gift from me."

The old woman picked up a set of the latest edition of [Golden Rule] and stuffed it into Wendy's arms without saying anything.

"That's not good, how much is it?"

"I've been working here for almost two years. You're the first one who's interested in the law right after entering the city. You must be a scholar from Sinar, right? Scholars are good. This isn't much money, so just take it."

"Thank you."

Under the old lady's enthusiasm, Wendy finally had no choice but to accept her kindness.

Holding the set of [Golden Rules] that the old woman stuffed into her, Wendy looked at the grocery store in front of her and asked curiously.

“Ma’am, is this your shop?”

"Oh? This one, no."

The old woman looked towards the grocery store, shook her head and said.

"This is the committee's store. I'm just a clerk. The committee saw that I was old and didn't want me to do manual labor, so they arranged for me to look after the store here."

Hearing the old woman's words, Wendy subconsciously took out the [Golden Law] in her arms.

In Wendy's opinion, books are never cheap products. Just based on the feel of the Golden Rule book, Wendy feels that it is definitely not cheap.

After seeing Wendy's actions, the old woman also smiled, held Wendy's hand and said.

"It's okay, it's just one day's salary for me, and I don't have anywhere else to spend the money, so just take it."

"If you have any questions, you can go to the City Hall and ask. To get to the City Hall, just go down this road. It's the tallest building in the center."

Wendy could sense that she was not lying, so she nodded silently.

"Oh, right."

The old woman seemed to suddenly remember something. She gave Wendy a gentle smile and said.

"Welcome to Donnar. I hope you will have a pleasant experience in Donnar."

Wendy blinked, smiled slightly, and said.

"Thank you."

After saying goodbye to the old woman, Wendy also walked down the street with the complete set of [Golden Rules], ready to go to the city hall.

Along the way, she saw a large number of Sinar people who came to do business, as well as Donar people who were more active than the Sinar civilians.

In addition, Wendy also saw a number of elite patrols. Unlike in Sinar, the civilians here did not have much fear of the patrols. Even the Sinar people who came to do business were not afraid of them and just went about their own business.

The Donnar people don't seem to be as barbaric as they are said to be on the forum.

Wendy smiled in response to a Sinar man who greeted her enthusiastically, thinking so in her heart.

Standing in front of the City Hall, Wendy looked up at the City Hall in front of her.

This was the first time Wendy had heard of a city hall.

The ruling bodies of local villages and towns in Sinnar mostly depend on where the local village chiefs, town chiefs, nobles, and lords live.

Generally, wherever they lived, their houses and palaces were the local ruling centers. Sinar never established a special institution to manage cities and towns like the current Donnar.
