When Anna got up in the morning, she looked at the place where Balan had been lying, and of course there was no one.
She pretended to walk over and paid her respects, then packed her things, snuffed out all the ashes of the fire, and then covered it with mud.
Everyone should take responsibility for forest fire prevention.
This place was not far from Black Cloud City; Anna walked for about two or three hours to get there.
She guessed that the other demon was still following her, but as long as the other party didn’t show up in front of her, she would pretend as if he didn’t exist.
At first glance, Black Cloud City seemed much larger than Blue Stone City; anyway, the city gate was way taller and more majestic, and there were also a more impressive number of people coming in and out of the city gates than in Blue Stone City.
After spending many days in the wild, Anna felt like a beggar now. She took out a clean linen cloth that she used as a handkerchief and carefully wiped off the dirt on her face. Next, she tidied her hair and clothes. Only after she deemed her appearance passable did she enter Black Cloud City.
Although there were soldiers at the gate of the city, they did not stop people from entering or exiting. The indolence of these soldiers was the same as that of the ones of Blue Rock City, but because Anna was obviously a female wearing male clothing, they gave her a few more glances, but did nothing else.
After Anna entered the city, she first asked someone where the Mage Association was in the city, and then she appreciated and observed the scenery as she walked along the path. Soon, she saw the gates of the Mage Association.
The building of the Mage Association was as eye-catching as a church. It occupied a very large area. The street front view was a multi-story building, five stories high, and there was a huge insignia on the wall, which had a simple sketch of a person reading a book.
Anna originally wanted to determine the location of the Mage Association first, and then find a place nearby to stay, but seeing this magnificent place, she couldn’t help but stop.
She saw some men and women wearing black mage robes similar to Ulysses entering and exiting the Mage Association. Their mage robes were the same, but the badges on their chests were slightly different. Judging from the materials of their lining clothes, these people were from very good family backgrounds.
Anna watched from a distance for a while. She noticed that the badges worn by some of the younger children were almost blank with a black background, while the older ones had one or two golden stars. Almost all those who had three stars were thirty years old and up.
Generally speaking, there were still more male wizards than female wizards, but seeing a lot of female wizards was an excellent incentive for Anna. She noticed that there were more variations in the robes of female wizards. Some wore long skirts that reached the ankles; the hemlines of the skirts are exposed outside the mage’s robe, which gave off a very playful look, while others wore simple pants and a pair of leather boots, which looked particularly refreshing and neat.
Anna looked for a while and was really envious, but she couldn’t help being excited when she thought that she could also study in such a place.
She thought for a while before deciding to still find a place to settle down and clean up. Then, she would come back to the Mage Association.
The surrounding area of
Mage Association was a lively area. Anna first looked in an area that was a five-minute walk from the Mage Association, but could only find mostly shops. She had to expand the scope and finally found a family willing to rent a room in a quiet alley about ten minutes walking distance away.
The family only consisted of two members, a grandma and her grandson. The grandmother’s name was Givina. She was actually only 43 years old this year, but had a full head of gray hair. Her grandson’s name was Gore; he was seven years old.
Originally, when Anna asked, Givina hesitated in renting to her, but Anna made good use of her identity as a future mage’s disciple, and conjured a small flame directly in her palm.
Knowing that Anna was about to study at the Mage Association, her dirty clothes were no longer a hindrance; Givina rented her attic to Anna with reassurance.
There was another staircase leading to the attic of Givina’s house that was on the side of the house. As such, Anna would not typically encounter them. The tenant and the landlord lived separately; Anna was very satisfied with this.
Anna rented the place for one silver coin a month after seeing the structure of the attic. The living conditions in Black Cloud City were indeed much better than that of Blue Stone City. Of course, it may also be that the Givina family was once rich, as the attic had toilets. It even had water pipes and flushable toilets, but the water pressure was insufficient, and the water volume was a bit small.
Compared with the mess in Blue Rock City, life in Black Cloud City seemed to be much cleaner and more hygienic, which may be related to the city’s Mage Association.
Because it was already noon at this time, Givina enthusiastically invited Anna to eat at her home after the discussion was done, and Anna accepted frankly.
After dinner, Anna went back to her new residence and took a cold shower. She dried her hair until it was half dry, then tied it into a centipede braid. She put on a skirt she had worn in the past. Feeling that her appearance now was much better than before, she went out to the nearby commercial street.
Anna went to a women’s clothing store first. She couldn’t deny this fact; snobbery exists in any era, because wearing a gray skirt that belonged obviously to the lower class, she was almost denied entry into the store.
Anna was not angry; this world was like this, what else could she do? If she couldn’t change the world, then she would work hard to make these malicious people dare not show up in front of her.
So, a small flame appeared in her palm, and she said coldly: “I am a mage disciple; you won’t let me in to buy clothes?”
Mages were very common in Black Cloud City. When they saw a mage’s disciple, the clerk was of course not surprised, but it was definitely not a wise move to stop a mage disciple who would become a nobleman in the future, even if she thought that this mage disciple’s age was so old and couldn’t become a powerful mage in the future. But as long as the person was a one star mage, he could become a baron, which made him a nobleman. Whatever the title, it was superior to a commoner like her.
