Bone King's Universal Grocery

Chapter 9 Ferid

The guards at the gate of Liberty City are two teams of special sergeants wearing silver masks and armor with scimitars pinned to their waists. They stand straight on both sides of the gate and are responsible for collecting tolls from pedestrians.

Each person needs to pay two silver coins to enter Liberty City. According to the consumption level of Gods and Demons Continent, one silver coin is probably enough for a family of three to consume for a day.

There were 22 gold coins, 36 silver coins, and 17 copper coins in the purse that Li Hong took from the Shen Guo trio before.

It is worth mentioning that the currency exchange rate in the Gods and Demons Continent is 1:10, that is to say, 10 copper coins are equal to one silver coin, and 10 silver coins are equal to one gold coin.The three-month trek between Li Hong and Mi Xia cost about 13 gold coins.

The two of them lined up at the end of the queue to enter the city, followed the flow of people, and soon came to the guards.

Misha took out 4 silver coins from the purse and put them into the box in front of the guard. The guard nodded upon seeing this, indicating that they could go in.

As soon as he entered the city, Li Hong had the feeling of coming to the city as a country bumpkin. This feeling was somewhat similar to when he first came to the capital to look for a job in his previous life.Misha on the side was not much better either, she was also stunned by the prosperity of Liberty City.

The streets are full of vendors coming and going, and restaurants and teahouses can be seen everywhere on both sides.Human beings of all colors and creatures of all races walk around the streets at will.

"As expected of the City of Liberty, it is more prosperous than the Kingdom of God, just like the legend." Misha admired as he walked.

"Prosperity is one thing, but more importantly, this city makes people feel very comfortable. All races can coexist peacefully, it's like a dream." Li Hong said looking at the talking and laughing pedestrians beside him.

Misha raised her head proudly when she heard the words: "How about brother, listen to me from the city of freedom, right!"

"Well, I feel okay for the time being. Let's not talk about it. Didn't you say you are looking for your mother's disciple? Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know, but it should be clear if I go to the Association of Magicians and ask."

"Magicians Association? Where is it?"

"It's not easy to find the Association of Magicians? Here! The white tower not far away should be there."

"Misha, how do you know that there is the Association of Magicians?"

"Because all the mage associations on the mainland have mage towers. To find the mage association, you only need to find the mage tower and walk in this direction."

Li Hong was speechless for a while, hearing Mi Xia's meaning, this should be relatively common sense, but he didn't know it.

'It seems that I will find an opportunity to learn about these things in the future. ’ Li Hongru thought.

Afterwards, Li Hong and Mi Xia walked towards the direction of the mage's tower together.After walking for about ten minutes, the two came to the Magicians Association.

The Wizards Association in Liberty City is a six-story Western palace-shaped building. Next to the association stands a soaring wizard tower.

It is broad daylight now, the door of the Association is open, and Mi Xia and Li Hong walked into the Association of Magicians together.

When Misha passed through the gate of the association, three of the nine crystal balls above the gate lit up. The girl in charge of the reception glanced at the crystal ball, and then looked at Misha. Her original formulaic smile became much more cordial.

Some of the other people in the hall also turned their gazes to Misha.

"Hey! Did you see that little girl is actually a third-level magician." A middle-aged man in the crowd who looked like he was in his 40s said to his companion next to him.

"I see, I'm not blind." His companion replied with a roll of his eyes.

"Dad, Uncle Noel, isn't your reaction too intense? You're only a third-level magician, what's the big deal?" The young man next to the two middle-aged people curled his lips and said.

"You brat, how old are you, and how old are you? This little girl is 7 or 8 years old and has a third-level strength. Before the age of 15, she should have a good chance to break through the fourth level and become a magician. You are only 19 years old now." Breaking through the third level, is it comparable to others?" Noel reprimanded with a sullen face.

"What's so great about breaking through level 15 at the age of 4? She must have started practicing before she was 6 years old, so it's not something to be envied at all." The young man curled his lips and said.

Similar conversations also happened among many people around. Through their chatting, Li Hong realized that his sister is still a genius after belatedly.

It's just that Li Hong doesn't quite understand why these magicians occasionally mention that Mi Xia started practicing before the age of 6, and their tone is slightly regretful.

The two came to the front desk, and the receptionist asked very gently: "Hello, miss, may I help you?"

"Hello, Miss, I'm looking for someone. His name is Ferid, and he should be a great wind attribute magician."

"May I ask what is your relationship with this Ferid?" the girl in charge of the reception asked.

"He is my brother."

The smile on the girl's face became even more enthusiastic when she heard the words: "It turns out to be Lord Ferid's junior sister. Please wait a moment, miss. We will contact Lord Ferid for you immediately." After speaking, the girl turned around and left.

A few minutes later, a young man in his twenties, wearing a blue mage robe, ran down the stairs in a hurry.

The young man's gaze quickly locked on Misha standing at the front desk, and with a wave of his wand, he floated to Misha's side in the wind.

"Are you Misha?" the young man asked excitedly.

Misha smiled and nodded, then took half a step back and bowed 90 degrees to Ferid: "It's the first time to meet you, Brother Ferid, hello!"

Ferid helped Misha up and said seriously: "Misha, don't be so polite in the future, I am your senior brother, the teacher is gone, I am your closest person, you just treat me as your elder brother Well, I will take good care of you."

Li Hong who was on the side was speechless. He came to snatch his sister after this meeting. Can he still play happily in the future?

Just as Li Hong wanted to speak to declare his brother's identity, Mi Xia spoke first: "Thank you brother for caring for me, but I have a brother myself."

"Is there a brother? Who is it? Him?" Ferid frowned and pointed to Li Hong and asked.

Misha nodded with a serious expression.

Ferid looked Li Hong up and down, but it was a pity that Li Hong was wrapped in a black robe, and Ferid couldn't see Li Hong's appearance clearly. He hesitated and stepped forward to Li Hong and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Hello, this is Ferid, the great magician of the wind department."

Li Hong didn't speak, nor stretched out his hand, but raised his head slightly and kowtowed, allowing Ferid on the opposite side to see the purple soul fire in his eye sockets.

Ferid is Hailian's disciple, so he is also a necromancer, but for the convenience of action, he left a hole card by the way, and he usually hides his identity.

As a necromancer, he couldn't understand what an undead creature with purple soul fire meant.

He never expected that his junior sister would be accompanied by a bone king. Such an existence might not even be offended by the city lord of Liberty City!

Thinking of this, Ferid suddenly remembered that he seemed to point his finger at the Bone King just now, he swallowed, and raised his head cautiously to look at Li Hong.

Seeing this, Ferid found that the fire of soul in Li Hong's eyes was jumping. Ferid only felt his legs go weak for a while, and he couldn't stand still for a while and sat down on the ground with a pale face.

　Ferid is named after an anime character I like very much, do you know who it is?
