Chapter 208: Chapter 200 Goodbye, Prison!_2
He canceled the invisibility technique on both of them, and their figures reappeared inside the carriage.
âThis is the place, you two just rest in the carriage, and I will have food delivered regularly.â
âThe caravan will depart tomorrow. Donât get off until weâve left Kuka City. We can talk more after weâve left.â
Lis nonchalantly took away all the personal belongings inside the carriage and instructed the two.
âOkay.â
Cress nodded and took off the black ring from her hand, handing it to Lis.
...
âI really appreciate your help. Iâm entrusting this ring to you for now.â
Lis did not stand on ceremony, taking the ring directly from Cressâs hand and fiddling with it on his right hand.
âWe havenât even left Kuka City yet. Arenât you afraid Iâll change my mind?â
Lis looked at Cress with a smile.
âYou wonât.â
Suddenly, Liz, who was beside her, said with a serious face.
âHa!â
Lis didnât say anything more and just waved his hand before leaving the carriage.
After Lis left, Cress took out new bedding from her storage ring and spread it out, while saying to Liz:
âWhy do you suddenly trust this Lis so much? It surprises me.â
âAre you jealous?â
Lis was gone, and Liz no longer maintained her disguise but squinted and smiled at Cress.
It wasnât that the girl was particularly cunning; she was just used to hiding her true self in front of those family members and nobles.
âNo way!â
Cressâs face turned red, but she pretended not to care.
Liz did not continue to question her, took off the black hood she was wearing, and then said:
âItâs just some guesses.â
âA teacher my father hired taught me some knowledge before, about the emblems on this carriage.â
âEmblems?â
Cress hadnât noticed, after all, noble emblems were just nice patterns to her, not as interesting as the knowledge in magic books.
âYes, yes, that blood-colored long sword emblem is probably the symbol of the Fis Royal Family.â
âAnd when I arrived, I also noticed this carriage is probably the most luxurious one in the caravan.â
âMr. Lisâs identity must be quite high.â
Liz speculated, lying on the soft bed Cress had just made, shaking her fair and pink little legs.
âThat would be even better.â
Cress didnât care much; she was more concerned about Lisâs identity as a Silver Level Mage and a Prophet.
Moreover, the higher Lisâs status, the better. Important people wonât fool two little girls, right?
Still, combining that young and handsome face with the identity of a bigwig from the Royal Capital always seemed a bit weird to Cress.
âMhm, yes.â
Liz thought the same; she didnât sense any bad intentions from Lis.
Unlike that âfiancĂ©â, the look in his eyes the first time they met was as if he wanted to devour Liz, which made her quite unnerved.
âLetâs rest for a while.â
Cress kept things simple, tidying up the carriage a bit and saying to Liz.
âCress, you join in too! We are sleeping together tonight.â
Liz looked at Cress, hugging the blanket and laughing.
âOh my, donât fuss; it would be bad if someone noticed us.â
ââââââ
After leaving the carriage, Lis didnât have anything else to do.
The business with the ring was not urgent; he could deal with it after leaving Kuka City.
After all, summoning a demon in the city was no small matter. It would be better to do it in a place without people in the wilderness.
As for Liz and Cress on the carriage, Lis wasnât worried at all.
When he left, he had already set up a small ward on the carriage. It wasnât of much use; it would just alert Lis himself if someone else entered.
Viscount Kuka was just an ordinary viscount and lord anyway, surrounded by no more than a few silver-level fighters at most. He posed no threat to Lis.
Let alone Viscount Kuka, even if that so-called Count Solo came, Lis wouldnât worry.
Itâs just that the âwoolâ he sheared from Judgement Flame was too rich.
Not to mention, with Lisâs current strength and accumulation, he didnât think there were many of his peers who could be his opponents.
After wandering casually around the city, Lis headed back to the Mercenary Tavern.
Presumably, Wutian Wusheng had already spread the news of his presence in Kuka City.
Lis opened the player forum, and sure enough, he saw a post about himself in the real-time hot posts.
Wutian Wusheng, quite professionally, posted screenshots of Lis in the Mercenary Tavern and of his joining the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.
[Shocking! Lis, who has just become a Marquis, is now here!]
[I might be humble, but maybe some friends are familiar with my name.
Yes, I am Wutian Wusheng, the information merchant in the âStormy Skiesâ game. Itâs been a while, not sure if any bosses remember me.
First, a bit of advertising. Wutian Wusheng Information House, you deserve to have it!
Without further ado, straight to the good stuff.
Iâm sure everyone in Feis Kingdom is aware of the two major events that happened in Bright City a while back, where Lis Kain, the protagonist, disappeared after that and hasnât been seen for a while. A lot of brothers have been squatting outside the White Dove Chamber of Commerce to no avail.
But!
Just today, yours truly saw this NPC in the Kuka City Mercenary Tavern (Note: Feis Kingdom map) and managed to have a successful conversation with him, and he joined the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, with pictures to prove it (Attached: Tavern screenshot, power affiliation screenshot).
Therefore, Lis this NPC is very special, being able to leave the headquarters and go to other regions, which no doubt further confirms his identity as the main character in the plot.
Wutian guesses, he will probably go to other places as well, neighbouring brothers can pay attention to places like the Mercenary Tavern, you might just encounter him!
That way, even if youâre not in Bright City, you can join the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, after all, itâs known as the T0-level power choice since the game started.
P.S. If any brothers see Lis elsewhere, you can comment below this post and share the information together.
Another P.S. Wutian Wusheng Information House, you deserve to have it! (Contact me privately if needed)]

Seeing quite a few Bright City players complaining under this post about squatting in vain at the White Dove Caravan, and now their main target has run off, about âwho to talk to for reasoning,â Lis couldnât help but chuckle.
It seems the effect isnât too bad.
When Lis entered the Mercenary Tavern again, he saw a crowd of players squeezing up, their eager eyes on him.
Lis also didnât reject any comers, his benevolent gaze seemingly on a fresh batch of spring onions.
He harvested a wave of experience, although only tens of thousands of points, but as the playersâ levels rose, the experience they could provide to Lis would only increase.
What, you say, go somewhere else to learn skills?
Lis was very clear about which skills the players needed, especially those core skills of their professions.
Bearing the All-Purpose Talent and the Arcanist Profession, Lis wasnât worried about losing his attractiveness in this regard.
Bronze level, Silver level, Gold level, and even Legendary skills â having been instructed by Judgement Flame, at least in terms of Mage accumulation, he would not be at a disadvantage against any power.
Not to mention, Lis had his trump of exclusive arcane!
That day, Lis didnât go back to the hotel either, instead spending the night right in the Mercenary Tavern, happily harvesting spring onions that came running to him on their own.

The next morning, after a day of rest and resupply, the Feis caravan continued on towards the Northern Territory.
When passing through the Kuka City Gate, the City Guards didnât even dare to come forward for inspection.
As the private property of the Fis Royal Family, the Feis Guildâs caravan had a fairly high privilege within the Kingdomâs boundaries, one of which was exemption from city gate fees.
Those City Guards didnât dare to stop the caravan for inspection; after all, there was no profit to be made, and less trouble is better than more.
Feeling the gentle rocking of the carriage, Liz carefully lifted the curtain and looked back at the fading black-gray city wall of the caravan behind.
Finally leaving the small city where she had lived for over a decade.
Liz had no lingering feelings, she even felt her breathing become lighter, as if a canary had finally left its cage to soar in the sky.
Regardless of the storms ahead, since she dared to give up a comfortable noble life for freedom, she would have no regrets.
Farewell, cage!
