Chapter 1026: Chapter 258: The Masked Overlord_3

"Oh? Daisy, you can also transform? How come I’ve never heard you mention this before?" Liu Zhenhan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Nonsense! I told you the first time we met on Razor Mountain!" Daisy rolled her eyes at Old Liu. "Don’t you remember? I once told you that I studied theology at the Saint Francis seminary, philosophy in the Fant Empire, and combat command at Noireville Duchy’s Knight Academy! Back then, I went in with a different face each time. If I had gone in as a Fairy Dragon, do you think I would have been able to leave? This little trick of changing faces is no big deal. It’s not transformation magic. Apart from Druid, nobody else can do transformation magic. I just used a ’Performer’s Mask.’"

"What’s a ’Performer’s Mask’?" Liu Zhenhan looked completely clueless.

"When Fairy Dragons and Seven-Colored Dragons from Dragon City walk among humans, we have to make ourselves look a bit more ordinary, right? The ’Performer’s Mask’ is a magical trinket produced exclusively by the Elves. Almost everyone in Dragon City has one. Once you stick the mask to your face, you can change your appearance to that of someone else. Of course, it won’t change your body shape." Daisy spread her hands, making an exaggerated expression that said, "Oh my God, how can you not know this?"

Liu Zhenhan curled his lips, thinking that it was just a piece of magical equipment. Crap! If I had had this thing before, the subjects of disguise and infiltration would have been so much easier.

"That’s not right! Aren’t the Dragon Clan known for never using magical equipment or gear?" Helen covered her mouth, snickering at Daisy.

"I only brought two items from Dragon City, one Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor and one Performer’s Mask. They’re not amplification or attack gear, so what’s wrong with using them? Besides, without the help of a Seven-Colored Dragon, and without these two items, wandering the world alone would be risky, wouldn’t it, to give some dragon-slaying hero a chance to make his name? Look, now I’m not even using it anymore!" Daisy pursed her lips, her expression one of disdain.

"Tsk tsk... Unexpectedly, even the two great Dragon Cities have some collectibles. I was thinking... after all, you are from the Dragon Clan!" Liu Zhenhan glanced at his "Twelve Time-Telling Bracelet" for the time. "Remind me tomorrow at noon, I need to send a flame message to my dear old father-in-law, ask him to equip those dragon folks with some magical gear before sending them to Feralas again!"

"You actually want the Dragon Clan to dig into their pockets?" Ruona laughed so hard her shoulders shook. "By the Dragon God! Richard, isn’t this like asking for the tiger’s skin? Is that even possible? We Dragons wouldn’t even tell our closest people about our own family assets, let alone hand them over to you! Not to mention that there isn’t any decent magical gear in Dragon City, even if there were, they wouldn’t give it to you!"

"That’s true too." Liu Zhenhan nodded dejectedly. Not long ago, he had asked the Andulan Elder for some collectibles, only for the old man to feign ignorance, clearly the stingy nature of the Dragons at play.

"Richard, back to the main topic, I still have one major doubt that I can’t get my head around." Ning Yu asked with a frown, "I heard from Elder Andulan that the dual third-class amphibian transformation ability possessed by the body constitution is limited to three forms. Once it’s set, it cannot be altered. Now that the land form has been fixed as a Shepherd-tree Person, with only the air and water forms left, how are you going to transform into Mourinho?"

"Idiot! Mourinho is a member of the Bode Clan among Beamon, right?" Liu Zhenhan’s smile was crooked. "Is the Bird Clan Beamon an air or land dweller?"

"But the Smey Clan can’t fly at all! Does that also count as an air form?" Ning Yu blinked her big eyes.

"I’ve already tried it; there’s no problem transforming into Mourinho." Liu Zhenhan chuckled. "These past few days, I’ve even prepared my clothes! What amuses me most is that the tailor’s shop didn’t find it strange at all to make custom sacrificial robes. They even had ready-made ones available. It seems like I’m not the only one who wants to play at transforming... I really don’t understand who ordered those sacrificial robes?"

"What’s so strange about that! Human rich kids also like to order Holy Knight’s armor and then strut around in it," Daisy laughed softly. "Who among the common people could afford it? Those noble young masters, even if they roam around in sacrificial robes, is there anyone who would dare to accuse them? It’s not like your sacrificial robes are the Emperor’s ceremonial robes!"

"Crap!" Liu Zhenhan shook his head. "These little brats really have nothing better to do!"

"Wait, I’m still a bit confused; how does the Smey Clan count as an air form? Could it be that in Ancient times, before they were bestowed ’Sky Banning Song’ by the War God Kampas, they once had the ability to fly?" Ning Yu shook her head and smiled bitterly. "I thought that the Swan People of the Smey should be considered land dwellers."

"Who knows?" Liu Zhenhan smirked. "Maybe it’s just fate that Smey belongs to the ’Bird Clan’!"

"What’s the use of saying so much? Since Richard has already prepared everything, what are we waiting for?" Daisy clenched her fists so that they cracked. "Let’s do it!"

Liu Zhenhan lit a cigar and took a heavy drag, easing his glance to the other ladies who were his partners.

Ning Yu bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then nodded her head.

"But... but... what if Teacher Mourinho finds out later? This kind of thing can’t be covered up forever; he’s bound to find out eventually!" Helen asked timidly.

"So what if he does? Things change with time; without evidence, what can he do?" Ruona sneered, wafting away the cigar smoke with a delicate gesture. "Don’t worry, Richard, I support you! You must pull one over on him!"

"That settles it then!" Liu Zhenhan exhaled a thick puff of cigar smoke and clenched his fingers tight, the hot embers and tobacco cascading through his fingers. "I still need to go snoop for more info! To see if he’s really colluding with the Sea Clan, whether he’s the mastermind behind betraying Avril!"

Around four o’clock, there’ll be another Chapter. I’m planning to stay up all night tonight, type more, and perk up with votes for Zhang Xiang Pa!
