I’m sorry, I just received a call from my family saying that my grandfather has passed away. I might be very busy these two days and might have to stop updating for two days. Please forgive me.

Zhao Hai looked at the magic robe in his hand and was speechless. The workmanship of the magic robe was not very good. He did not know what kind of material it was made of, but it was very thick. It was just a cloth robe, but it felt heavy in his hand. What made him even more speechless was that the style of the robe looked like what villains often wore on TV.
He was wearing a black magic robe with a big hat on the back. Most importantly, there was a Black Veil covering the face of the hat. When the hat was put on, the black veil could cover the entire face, making it impossible to see the appearance of the person wearing it.
Forget it. No matter what, this was something he had discussed with Grimm. Moreover, he had to disguise himself as a black magician, so this outfit was just right.
The magic robe was very big, but it was also very thick. Zhao Hai took off his warrior suit and put on the magic robe. He did not feel cold at all. Although the cloth did not look very good, it kept him warm and was quite soft, so it was very comfortable to wear.
Zhao Hai could not help but nod in satisfaction. He picked up his magic staff, put on his hat, and walked out of the straw house.
Grimm and the others stared blankly at Zhao Hai as he walked out of the door. In the past, when Zhao Hai was wearing a warrior’s uniform, they had never realized that the most suitable clothes for him were magic robes.
This black magician suit was really suitable for Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had a very strange temperament, as if he was out of tune with this world. However, if you didn’t pay special attention to him, you wouldn’t feel his existence. It was as if he was invisible.
In fact, Zhao haizhi’s temperament was because he was an otaku on earth. Otakus did not know how to communicate with others. Sometimes, they would seem out of place in this world. At the same time, they were very good at hiding themselves. They would always put themselves in a place where no one would notice them. Then, they would coldly observe the changes of the world.
Zhao Hai had experienced this once on earth. He went out with a friend to handle some business. The two of them treated one person to a meal. From the time they treated that person to the time they got in the car. When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Hai followed his friend. When they arrived at the restaurant and entered their private room, the person they treated looked at Zhao Hai in surprise and said to Zhao Hai’s friend,”You invited this person as well?”
This question left Zhao Hai and his friend at a loss for what to do. Zhao Hai had accompanied them all the way here, but the other party had not noticed him at all. It could be seen how unremarkable Zhao Hai was. He could be called an invisible person in the city.
It was because of this temperament that Zhao Hai was more suitable in the black robe. He seemed out of place in this world, but it was easy to ignore his existence. This was the temperament of a black magician.
Generally speaking, people who didn’t fit in would attract more attention. However, Zhao Hai’s two temperaments combined into one, forming a very strange temperament. People could notice him at first glance, but they would immediately ignore his existence.
Zhao Hai noticed that green and the others were all staring at him in a daze. He quickly took off his hat and said to green and the others, ” “What’s wrong? Is it strange?”
As Zhao Hai took off his hat, green and the others came back to their senses. When Zhao Hai took off his hat, his aura suddenly changed. The strange aura he had just now disappeared, and he now had the aura of a boy next door.
This change in temperament was extremely mysterious. If one did not see it with their own eyes, no one would believe it. However, green and the rest were very happy. As long as Zhao Hai wore his magic robe, he would be a black magician. As long as he took off his magic robe, no one would associate him with the black magician.
This made it easier for Zhao Hai to hide his identity. As long as he wanted to, he could change from a black magician to another person at any time without anyone suspecting him.
Grimm immediately shook his head and said, ” no, very little. These clothes suit you very well, young master. Young master, I think you should let meg follow you on this trip. She can be your maid. If I have to go out, she can also protect you. Moreover, no one will suspect a black magician with a maid by his side. &Quot;
Zhao Hai glanced at meg. To be honest, although he really wanted her to stay by his side, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about her hug. He didn’t even dare to face her.
Seeing Zhao Hai’s reaction, green continued,”Originally, I wanted to let blockhead and the others follow you, but blockhead and the others are still too weak. Moreover, if the two of them appear together, it will still arouse people’s suspicion. These two silly kids still have some reputation on the continent.”
Zhao Hai did not expect this to happen. He was about to tell green to just let the wood and stone follow him, but he gave up after hearing Green’s words.
“Young master, do you not want to hate me?” meg suddenly asked.
Zhao Hai was stunned and turned to look at meg. He found that she was looking at him with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful that he couldn’t say anything harsh to her. Zhao Hai quickly said, &Quot; no, what about that? alright, you can follow me. &Quot; He turned his head after saying that, not daring to look at meg again. He didn’t notice that a sly smile had appeared on her face the moment he turned his head.
Meg had already noticed that Zhao Hai seemed to be a little afraid of her. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be alone with her. Just now, she just wanted to see if Zhao Hai really cared about her, but it turned out that Zhao Hai really did care about her.
No man could ever understand a girl’s thoughts. Meg just wanted to know if Zhao Hai cared about her. But when she saw Zhao Hai’s current appearance, she couldn’t help but find it funny. She wanted to tease Zhao Hai even more, but she didn’t dare to act rashly with green and Merlin by her side.
Grimm noticed her expression and glared at her. She stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and turned around.”I’ll go pack my things.” After saying that, she ran back to her small house.
Green didn’t mind. Both he and Merlin knew that meg was interested in Zhao Hai. If it was before, they wouldn’t have let her get close to Zhao Hai, but now, they didn’t object.
Green looked at Zhao Hai and turned to Merlin. &Quot; &Quot; Merlin, you should also get ready. If I go out and something happens, let the young master go into the space. Young master, you’d better give the use of the screen to Merlin. This way, even if we’re resting, Merlin and the others can keep watch for us, and nothing will happen. If I go out and meg isn’t by your side, you can also ask Merlin and the others to come out and help you at any time. &Quot;
Although Zhao Hai felt that it was not necessary, he still agreed. However, he still felt uncomfortable. If he gave the screen to Merlin and the others, he would have to be under their surveillance 24 hours a day. It was not a good life.
However, Zhao Hai still did as he was told. He did not want to be killed by others. He knew nothing about the situation outside the black soil wasteland, so it was better to be safe.
Although he had obtained all of Adam’s memories, Adam had never left the capital of the Arkas Empire from the moment he was born until he fell unconscious. Thus, Zhao Hai knew nothing about the outside world, so he had no choice but to follow Green’s instructions.
After giving the right to use the screen to Merlin, meg also packed up and came out. She was holding a small bag in her hand and wearing a maid’s uniform. Needless to say, she looked really beautiful in the maid’s uniform. Her gentle temperament made people involuntarily want to protect her.
Zhao Hai glanced at meg, and Huang quickly turned his face away. He said to Merlin, &Quot; grandma Merlin, I’ll leave the space to you. If you need anything, just knock on the screen and I’ll hear you. &Quot;
Merlin nodded. &Quot; don’t worry, young master. You have to be careful too. &Quot; Zhao Hai nodded. With a thought, he, green, and meg appeared in the forest.
Green looked around and turned to Zhao Hai.”Young master, let’s call the alien out and let it carry us to the Montenegro fortress.”
“Grandpa Green, shouldn’t we keep the summoned creatures if we want to enter the city?” Zhao Hai asked, puzzled. Why did we call the aliens out?”
Grimm smiled and said, ” “In other cities, you have to put away your summoned creatures. If you don’t, people will think you’re attacking the city, but you don’t have to do it here in the Montenegro fortress. This place is full of people, so no one will attack us. If we ride the aliens there, no one will care. It will also reduce a lot of trouble. Otherwise, the city guards and mercenary groups might come to collect taxes from us. As long as we ride the aliens there, no one will dare to do anything.”
Zhao Hai was puzzled,”does it mean that my black magic robe doesn’t work?” Those people still dare to come and deal with me?”
Grimm smiled and said, ” &Quot; this place is different from other cities. In other cities, mages are mages, and almost no one would pretend to be one. But not here. There are many adventurers who pretend to be Black Mages because Black Mages are the most difficult to deal with on the continent, so people often pretend to be Black Mages to Rob. Some adventurers get good things and pretend to be Black Mages to transport the things away. After a long time, Black Mages are not so scary here. If we don’t release the aliens, they might not think we are the real black magicians.”
