"It's even more magnificent than in the CG."
Looking at the city wall, which was carved from white bedrock hundreds of meters high, Wenxuan was awestruck.
In particular, these bedrocks are all magic-resistant stones.
Even though Wenxuan is a hundred meters away, he can still feel the effect of the city gate's magic-suppressing stone on his body.
Although he wasn't using magic, for some reason, the soul power within Wenxuan's body seemed somewhat out of control.
"What CG?" Yumi asked curiously when she heard Wenxuan saying something strange.
Although she was also shocked by the prosperity of Demacia, she was not too surprised.
In her eyes, they were nothing more than stones that restricted magic.
The grimoire is still flying in the air, it's just that some magic is restricted.
"It's nothing. You can enter my body first. Magic is not allowed in this country. It would be troublesome if we were discovered."
Wenxuan didn't want to deal with those anti-magic soldiers.
There's no need to invite trouble.
Yumi pouted in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
"It's just a magic-suppressing stone, why is Master afraid of them? My magic book and I won't be affected, and besides..."
Before Youmi could continue complaining about her fever, Wenxuan pulled her into his arms.
He kissed the cat's beautiful face a few times before saying, "Good boy, we'll let you out once we find a place to stay."
Chapter 73 Entering the Weeping Forest, Garen
Yumi, dazed by Wenxuan's kisses, could only see Wenxuan's rosy lips and the drool left on her cat face by her owner.
"Meow Meow agrees and promises not to cause trouble for its owner."
After Yumi finished speaking, she took the initiative to kiss Wenxuan on the face before entering Wenxuan's body with the Magic Codex.
May Wenxuan's body be blessed.
Seeing Youmi go inside, Wenxuan also started walking towards the city gate.
As soon as he entered, Wenxuan saw caravans coming and going, as well as many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, all queuing up for inspection.
Dozens of soldiers with swords at the gate were checking each person entering and leaving with a stone in hand.
Seeing this, Wenxuan couldn't help but worry whether the soul power in his body would cause the anti-magic stone to light up, and whether the Yumi Magic Tome would be sensed.
As Wenxuan's thoughts were revealed, Youmi, who was standing next to him, also noticed the worry on Wenxuan's face.
"Don't worry, the magic book and I won't let our master be discovered. We can conceal the magical fluctuations on our master's body."
"That's good." Hearing Youmi say that, Wenxuan felt much relieved and then joined the queue.
"Come on... put your palm on it."
Wenxuan looked at a young man being examined in front of him and couldn't help but feel the soul power within his own body.
He looked again at the huge stone statue on the city wall, which was none other than Galio.
It shouldn't be discovered, and Yuumi has already said so.
Before the person in front of him could light up the magic-suppressing stone, it was Wenxuan's turn.
Seeing this, Wenxuan stepped forward.
The soldier glanced at Wenxuan and couldn't help but frown.
"Where are you from, and what are you doing in our country?"
Seeing the strange clothes on the child Wenxuan, the soldier didn't know what to do for a moment, so he asked him some questions.
He also gestured to the soldier next to him to consult an experienced inspector.
“My family…is all gone. I came here just to see my uncle in Demacia. He made a fortune doing business here a few years ago, so…”
Wenxuan didn't continue speaking, but tears welled up in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wenxuan pretended to wipe it, but his eyes were actually looking at the soldier.
"Okay, okay, it's alright now. Come on, touch this with your hand."
Seeing that Wenxuan was just a child, even though he was wearing strange clothes, they assumed he came from another country and felt sorry for his background.
After all, Noxus is invading everywhere, and they know that many places around them are in battle and many people are displaced.
Therefore, before Wenxuan could finish speaking, she filled in the blanks for him in her mind.
Looking at the anti-magic stone in front of him, Wenxuan could only sigh helplessly.
He had originally wanted to skip this step, since he wasn't sure if his soul power would be detected.
"Okay... Uncle, you're such a good person."
As he spoke, Wenxuan sobbed as he took his hand off his face and then placed it on the anti-magic stone.
Then a few seconds passed and nothing happened.
Seeing this, Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Wenxuan didn't know why, but he didn't care what was going on. He looked at the soldier with pitiful eyes.
Is that all?
"Yes, but you have to wait. Even though you are a child, we still need to verify whether you are a spy from an enemy country."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, a middle-aged man dressed in the attire of a high-ranking Demacian official walked over.
The man stood tall and straight, carrying a heavy silver sword on his back, and looked solemnly at the city gate.
"What's the matter that you called me over here?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, many merchants queuing behind Wenxuan bowed respectfully, performing aristocratic etiquette.
The soldier also gave a military salute.
“Garen Crown Guard, I’m not sure whether we should let this child through, but he has already undergone the inspection of the anti-magic stone and there was no reaction, so… I think…”
Before the man could speak further, Garen raised his hand to interrupt him.
Garen then walked over to Wenxuan's side.
When Wenxuan saw that the person who came was Garen, he was speechless.
Upon arrival, I encountered Garen, the great general of Demacia.
I don't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky.
Garen first looked at Wenxuan's clothes, then glanced at Wenxuan's youthful face.
When Garen saw the tear stains, his initial concerns subsided.
"Let them pass. They're not from the Noxian Empire."
Garen had fought against Noxus before, and he could still tell who the opposing team was at a glance.
They all exuded a murderous aura, and their faces showed a defiant spirit.
Wenxuan, with his seemingly harmless appearance, is clearly not one of them.
Upon hearing Garen's words, the soldiers respectfully made way for him.
Wenxuan glanced at Garen and then walked into the city.
He dared not linger, after all, Garen was carrying a greatsword on his back.
They might just stab him on the forehead.
Wenxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the bustling market.
"Phew~ That scared the hell out of me, thank goodness I wasn't exposed."
Hearing this, Yumi, who was already bored to death, also grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if our master is discovered, we can still take him away."
"Yes, if it can be passed down, why not spread it to the city?"
Wenxuan looked at Youmi floating to the side.
To outsiders, Wenxuan was a madman with bizarre clothes.
A person is talking to themselves on the street, talking to the air.
Many people are keeping their distance.
They were terrified of being extorted by Wenxuan. Although Wenxuan was handsome, they were ordinary people and dared not act recklessly. The laws of Demacia were truly strict; if there was any problem, they would be thrown into jail.
But they were only locked up; they were still treated well with good food and drink every day, as long as their bottom line regarding magic wasn't crossed.
Chapter 74 Yumi: Master, I…
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with disdain, Wenxuan realized his problem and walked towards a restaurant not far away.
"Alright, Yumi, let's stop talking now, or people will think we're crazy."
Upon hearing what the master ball (two 9) said, Yumi looked at the group of people with resentment.
"Damn it, how dare they ruin my conversation with my master! How awful!"
Only Wenxuan, the possessed person, could hear what Yumi said, so only Wenxuan could hear Yumi's lament.
"Alright, alright, I'll let you out once we find a place to stay."
After all, the street was too conspicuous, and Yuumi, the cat with her own magic, would obviously be spotted by the patrolling soldiers.
When they arrived at a nicely decorated restaurant, Wenxuan sat down on a stool.
Having experienced the devastation of Noxus, Demacia, though having recovered some of its former prosperity, was still significantly affected, with most of its possessions having been plundered.
Upon seeing that the visitor was a clean-looking child with an air of nobility, the shopkeeper pushed aside the waiter and came to Wenxuan's place on his own initiative.
Serving Wenxuan exclusively.
"Hehe~"
"Excuse me, young man, are you here for a meal or to stay at a hotel? Our service is among the best in Demacia."
Upon hearing the voice, Wenxuan turned his head and exchanged a glance with the portly shopkeeper.
Looking at the other person's sly smile and the mustache that belonged to a cunning businessman, Wenxuan also smiled.
"Let's check in. We'll give you your best room, and then..."
As he spoke, Wenxuan glanced at the guests dining at several nearby tables.
Seeing that the cuisine was quite good, he nodded in approval.
"Bring one of each of our signature dishes."
Hearing Wenxuan's generous order, the shopkeeper was all smiles.
Since the economy is still recovering, the people who come to eat here are mostly office workers who have finished their work, so naturally they order things that will fill their stomachs.
They can't make much profit either.
"Alright, alright, Derek, hurry up and get this young man the key to our best room in the inn, and also tell the kitchen to prepare one of our specialties."
The shopkeeper smiled broadly as he gave instructions to the clerk at the counter.
"coming……"
Wenxuan took the key and was personally escorted to his room by the waiter and the shopkeeper.
Upon arriving at the room, Wenxuan released Youmi.
Yuumi, upon emerging from the room, also displeased, transformed back into human form.
"Master... Meow Meow is so bored in there."
With that, Yumi launched a ball of flesh at Wenxuan, knocking him onto the table.
"mua~ Master mua~"
The moment Yumi transformed back into human form, Wenxuan's eyes seemed to have auto-aimed, staring intently at Yumi's pink and white headlights.
Being tackled also feels good to me.
