048. Weird Progress
"Where will we go next?" asked Twelve.
Mo Ran thought about it and she killed someone. In this world, things tonight can be big or small. If the city of Wells is mainly investigated, a wanted order will be issued. After dawn, the city gate will be strictly guarded and the sea captain documents will be sent to nearby towns as soon as possible.
So, it is not that important whether she leaves the city immediately.
And if this matter cannot reach the city lord at all, then there is no need for her to hide.
Thinking of it, Mo Ran said: "Stay in Wells City first, it's not too late to leave before seeing the situation."
Twelve nodded trustfully.
But Mo Ran said again: "But we can't appear in our current appearance."
"Ah?" Shi Er was wondering, but Mo Ran said, "Let's go first."
Mo Ran and Shier went to the suburbs far away from the downtown area. Mo Ran squatted by a small river and washed his face. She said to Shier: "Clean yourself and change your clothes."
Mo Ran knew that Twelve had, so he gave a direct order. Twelve hesitated for a while, but nodded in agreement. He walked a long way along the river, so far that Mo Ran couldn't help but shout, "Where are you going?"
Twelve turned around and looked at Mo Ran. He couldn't see his expression clearly at the dark night, but he stopped the voice but felt a little embarrassed, "I, I want to take a shower..."
He could understand what Mo Ran said? There were only some pebbles in this small river, and there were no two places to cover them. He couldn't wash under Mo Ran's nose, right?
Mo Ran said speechlessly: "You just wash it there, set a barrier, and I will go a little further."
"...Oh." Shi Er responded, and indeed saw Mo Ran walking away in the darkness. Shi Er scratched his messy hair, took off his same torn clothes on his body, and slowly walked into the water.
"Earth-bound demon." Mo Ran, who had already walked to the distance, sat down, summoned.
The Earth-binding Demon appeared, and a thin figure arched slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "What are the instructions of the master?"
Mo Ran said: "Please help me collect some information about this world, especially the information about Yunlan Kingdom. The faster the better."
The Earth-Binding Demon responded, "Okay Master."
After saying that, the Earth-Binding Demon turned into a black shadow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Twelve came back, they saw a handsome man in white clothes and ink hair sitting under the big tree. Twelve was stunned for a moment before saying, "Are you Mo Ran?"
"Who else can I be?" Mo Ran said. She also changed her outfit, ate a pill to change her hair color, and cast a spell to change her appearance on her face. This spell was taught by the Ghost King before. Although it was a small spell, ordinary people could not see it.
Mo Ran changed into a man's outfit, but it was not that simple for a woman to dress up as a man. Among the practitioners, whether a man or a woman could not hide the spiritual consciousness of the practitioner. She changed into a man just for the sake of convenience of movement.
Twelve looked at Mo Ran curiously, wondering how she even changed her appearance.
Mo Ran was also looking at Twelve at this time. The messy hair had been washed clean, with long ink hair hanging behind him, and there were some drops of water. The torn clothes on his body had also been replaced with a blue brocade dress, and a plain belt around his waist made him look more slender.
The boy has a pair of bright eyes, a little innocence that is ignorant of the world, and delicate facial features. Now he is a rare beautiful boy. It can be imagined that in a few years, he will be a beautiful man who will fascinate countless women.
"Mo Ran, can I change my appearance?" Twelve suddenly asked.
Mo Ran smiled and said, "Why, who are you afraid of recognizing it?"
Twelve stammered, as if they were unwilling to say it, but Mo Ran said, "I can guess even if you don't say it, which young master you were sneaked out?"
Twelve lowered their heads and said "yes" in a dull voice.
"With you like this, how did you live well until now?" Mo Ran asked again.
Twelve naturally knew that his experience was nothing in front of Mo Ran, but he still defended: "If I hadn't met you, I would have been very alert."
Mo Ran said funnyly: "Did I write two big words 'good person' on my face?"
Twelve said, "People always choose to believe in some people unconditionally. When I meet you in the dungeon, I choose to believe in you. At least so far, I am still right."
The young man was indeed innocent. Mo Ran didn't want to worry about this with him. She just asked, "Where are you going? I told me before that you don't have a home, so now I won't pretend anymore?"
Twelve smiled and said, "Anyway, you will see through it. I might as well confess to myself."
"Actually, there is no need to follow me. No one knows how you look. You can still go wherever you want to go now. Also, you have been running away from home for a month and it's time to go back."
Mo Ran said that when facing a boy who was about the same age as Yu Fei, Mo Ran couldn't help but take on his sister's airs. Although, if it were Yu Fei, she might have a completely different attitude. After all, Yu Fei was too self-disciplined and too obedient. If he would run away from home, Mo Ran might be so happy.
"I won't go back!" But Twelve immediately retorted, "I finally ran out!"
Mo Ran frowned, thinking that Twelve was throwing a tantrum with her, but Twelve said, "I can't go back. I want to go find my brother, I must find him!"
"Your brother? Where is he?" Mo Ran asked.
Twelve shook his head, "I don't know."
Mo Ran couldn't help feeling speechless, "You don't know where he is. This continent is so big. Can you find your brother for ten or eight years? Why don't you wait at home? Why don't he go back by himself when he wants to go back?"
But suddenly became very frustrated, "Brother doesn't want to go home..."
This seemed to be someone else's family business, but Shi Er seemed very sad. Mo Ran couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Twelve said slowly: "I don't know... my brother is nine years older than me. He left home a long time ago. I have never seen him since I was born. I only know that I have an older brother, but I don't know where he is...
I was not happy at home, so I wanted to find my brother. We are brothers. If I miss him so much, he will definitely treat me well..."
The boy buried his face in his knees, bowed his slender body, held his calves with both hands, and his long hair fell on both sides of his body. It was a very lonely posture, and Mo Ran was speechless for a moment.
Although she wanted to say that you didn’t even know what your brother looked like, what name you were, and even where you were, even if you were alive and alive... you didn’t know, how could you find someone?
But for a young man whose center of life seems to be "finding his brother", Mo Ran did not sprinkle the salt on his wounds.
"Raise your head." Mo Ran said suddenly.
Twelve subconsciously looked up, and the bright eyes were also much darker because of the thoughts just now. He looked at Mo Ran in confusion, and Mo Ran gave him a spell to change his appearance and said, "Okay, you can rest for a while."
Twelve was distracted. He touched his face curiously, but did not feel anything strange, "Have I changed my appearance now?"
Mo Ran nodded, but Twelve was very novel. He ran to the river and watched for a long time before he came back.
The two of them were resting by the river for a few hours. After dawn, they slowly entered the city area. They walked on the street without any cover. Mo Ran first found an inn and booked two rooms before walking towards the city gate.
This time is no longer the time for a large number of people to leave the city, but there are a lot of people blocking at the gate of the city. When Mo Ran saw this situation, he knew what was going on. She lined up in a long queue and asked the middle-aged woman in front of her, "Fellow Taoist, what's wrong today? I'm so slow to leave the city?"
The woman in front looked back at Mo Ran. She didn't find it strange when she saw that she was a handsome woman dressed as a man. She was very common. She said, "What a big deal..."
When the woman opened her mouth, Mo Ran narrowed her eyes. What a big deal?
The woman continued, "Last night, the city lord's mansion was stolen! It was said that the treasure was lost! In two months, it will be His Majesty's birthday. The treasure was to be presented to His Majesty as a gift! But unexpectedly, an elusive thief came and stole the treasure!
Several guards were dispatched before dawn today. The city of Wells was martial law, and all people entering and leaving the city had to conduct strict inspections. Moreover, at this time, the portrait of the thief should have been sent to a nearby town."
It's really a big deal...Mo Ran thought, could another hero stole her show yesterday and successfully diverted her attention? "Is this the only thing?"
The woman said, "Isn't this a big deal? Your Majesty's birthday is a big deal. The city mainly cannot give a birthday gift. Wells City will not be able to have a good year in the next year!"
Is this the case? Then no one noticed the dungeon and the head on the city tower? Although the result was very good, Mo Ran was ready to make trouble, but the other party's reaction was so dull, and he really had no sense of accomplishment... and he was a little inexplicably frustrated.
Mo Ran couldn't help but want to see which hero was stealing the show. Thinking of it, Mo Ran couldn't help but ask: "What kind of thief is it? Does it have a name?"
If you can enter and exit the City Lord's Mansion so easily and steal treasures that will be strictly guarded, then this person is not simple...
And the woman said, "Yes! I have one on my body. This matter is a big deal. The city lord is probably very angry. He has already given a reward mission to all the mercenary unions and printed countless portraits of the thief. I brought one by the way when I left just now.
It's strange that this thief didn't leave his name, and he was a pretty beautiful woman. I've never heard of such a bold female thief..."
As she said that, the woman had taken out the so-called portrait. After she slowly unfolded it, she looked at the increasingly familiar face, but Mo Ran's face turned black. Why was this her? When did she become a thief? She also stole things from the city lord's mansion?!
