Chapter 102 Magician Annie

There were indeed foreigners, but at that time there was no concept of the mainland.

Anne only knew that she came from a place far away in the west, where there were many kingdoms, which was called the West, or the Western World by the people in Qing Kingdom.

This situation gave Qin Feng a sense of déjà vu in Western Europe.

And people from those places would send people across the ocean to Dongyi City every year to trade with people here.

Buy items such as tea and silk, because these things can be sold at extremely high prices there.

These foreign merchant caravans generally only recognized Dongyi City and had little trade with Qing and Qi.

The specific reason is unclear, it should be a historical problem.

Anyway, in Qin Feng’s mind at this moment, the current situation is a bit like the Ming Dynasty.

The difference is that the people from Qing Kingdom know martial arts, while the foreigners have magicians.

Warriors have different levels, from one to nine.

Magicians naturally have different levels, such as magic apprentice, magician, archmage, and so on.

In fact, these level divisions are not unified, and each kingdom has a different name. Anne is talking about the name of the Kingdom of Venus.

And Annie is now a great wizard. Qin Feng estimates that based on the strength of the true qi in her body, she is equivalent to a seventh-grade warrior.

"The magic I learned looks powerful, but it's not that powerful in front of people like you."

"Why do you say that?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"Magic takes too much time to use. You need to communicate with the heaven and earth. And the casting time is far slower than your martial arts speed."

"Magic it's real"

Annie's grammar was not very good and some of her intonations were weird, but Qin Feng could still understand her.

After listening to Annie's narration, Qin Feng discovered that the magic in the world of Joy of Life did not seem to be of much use.

The magic like teleportation, flash, meteorite and so on in the novels are all gone.

The magic used by mages is actually an alternative martial arts style, which seems very rigid and complicated compared to the martial arts they practice.

But magic is very powerful, and if it is really used, the power is still considerable.

But the problem is, you can't hit anyone!
No matter whether it was the warriors from Qi, Qing or Dongyi City, they were completely crushed when facing these mages.

The time it takes for a wizard to cast a spell is enough for a warrior to kill the opponent several times.

It is also for this reason that those foreigners did not dare to go deep into the inland of Qi and Qing, and only dared to trade in Dongyi City.

The Inspection Institute actually knows all of this information, and Fan Xian, as the Commissioner, can directly access it.

But the problem is that Qin Feng never thought about foreigners and magic.

This is simply a fantasy!
But now that he understood it, Qin Feng suddenly felt that it was not so absurd.

"What kind of magic do you know? Do you have any books specifically for learning it?"

Although magic seemed terrible in Annie's words, Qin Feng would not jump to conclusion before truly understanding it.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Before, when he was in a restaurant on the outskirts of the city in the east, Annie's eyes lit up, and then Yun Zhilan immediately ran over. It was obviously a special method.

"Well, yes." Annie hesitated for a moment before nodding.

She was very smart, and she told the truth in response to Qin Feng's questions, but she did not give complete information.

For example, her real identity is a princess, which she never said, because she didn't tell anyone else about it.

Also, she didn't mention that she had a good relationship with Yun Zhilan.

"Where?" Qin Feng asked.

Anne stood up and walked over to a small locked wooden box.

Under Qin Feng's gaze, Annie opened the small box, which contained a book.

"This is a book from our country. The writing is different and you can't learn it." Anne said as she picked up the book.

It's all in English, and Qin Feng can only understand individual words, but not when they are connected together.

English [Beginner] (Proficiency: 7/10)

This is his current English level. After all, he has attended compulsory education and knows a few hundred words.

But if you want to understand this magic book, it is still not enough.

"Teach me the language of your country, and then teach me these magic!" Qin Feng said, staring into Annie's eyes.

"Ah?" Annie was surprised by this sentence.

Then he realized something and asked, "You want to imprison me?"

Whether it is learning magic or learning a language, it takes a very long time.

Qin Feng had just asked her how she learned the language of Qing Kingdom, and she said she learned it after staying in Dongyi City for a long time.

At that time, it took Annie more than a month to be able to communicate fluently with others, and more than three months to be able to recognize words relatively fluently.

She has a strong learning ability, which is why she has achieved such results. It would take at least half a year for others to learn to her level.

So the moment Qin Feng said this, Annie knew that the other party would not let her go.

"No." Qin Feng shook his head.

"You're still saying no. The Dongyi City delegation will leave the capital tomorrow. I can't teach you everything in one day, let alone you!"

Anne's tone was full of helplessness.

After all, her life and property were in Qin Feng's hands at this moment, and Yun Zhilan was not here. If she called for help, she would probably die faster.

"Annie, what is your purpose of coming to Kyoto?" Qin Feng did not continue the topic of study, but asked back.

"Didn't you ask this question just now? I was just curious, so I came to Kyoto to take a look."

Anne said, suppressing her panic.

She was not lying about this. Anne was a curious person and loved adventure.

When he was twelve years old, he had already traveled to several countries near Venus with his master.

At the age of thirteen, she followed Venus's ocean-going fleet all the way eastward and visited many countries along the way.

At the age of fourteen, she arrived at Dongyi City.

Originally, she should have returned with the fleet after playing in Dongyi City for a few months.

But Anne found that she fell in love with this place. The culture of this oriental country really fascinated her, so she did not leave with the fleet.

Things didn't go smoothly at the beginning, but Anne was determined and smart, so she finally stayed.

In fact, it cannot be said to be cleverness, but a strategy.

The Kingdom of Venus and Dongyi City have been trading for so long that they still have some relations. Annie took this opportunity to get to know Yun Zhilan and became friends with him.

Then she asked Yun Zhilan to discuss the matter, and finally she succeeded in staying.

Afterwards, Yun Zhilan represented Dongyi City on a diplomatic mission to Kyoto. Annie was very curious and followed him.

"Do you like adventure?" Qin Feng asked with certainty.

Anne did not answer.

Qin Feng continued, "People like you, without an identity, will not be able to travel in either Qing or Qi. You will be arrested as a spy!"

Foreigners like Annie can only live in Dongyi City. If they go outside, it will be difficult for them to move around.

"So what does this have to do with your imprisonment?" Anne was confused. The people of Venus always spoke directly, but in this oriental country, many people Anne met always spoke in a roundabout way, making it difficult for people to understand.

"How about we make a deal?" Qin Feng said.

Annie: "???"

Although she was full of questions, Anne still asked, "What deal?"

"You taught me your country's language and magic. Also, didn't you say you came from the Western Ocean by ship? Tell me what you saw and heard along the way."

"And I can take you to Shangjing City of Qi State and travel all the way. I can guarantee your safety on the way!"

"What do you think of this deal?" Qin Feng asked.

He spoke slowly, not fast, giving Anne enough time to think.

The first thing Anne wanted to do when she heard this was to refuse.

After all, this is a transaction on the surface, but in reality, it is a disguised form of imprisonment.

But the problem is that she has no right to refuse.

Qin Feng looked scary when he put on the mask, as if he would kill you if you refused.

"I think it's a good idea, but maybe another plan would be better?" Annie asked tentatively.

"What plan?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"Come with me to Dongyi City, and I'll teach you there?" Annie said cautiously.

Qin Feng suddenly laughed, "Write a letter."

"What are you laughing at?" Anne was startled and then asked, "What letter?"

"A letter saying that you will not be returning to Dongyi City for the time being and plan to travel in Qing Country for a while."

"what?"

Annie immediately understood that Qin Feng didn't give her any chance to choose.

Seeing Annie's nervous look, Qin Feng said, "Don't worry, as long as the transaction is completed, you will be free immediately. I will not lie to you."

He could naturally see that Annie was unwilling, and Qin Feng didn't want to do this either, but he really wanted to see some magic, so he had no choice but to do this.

He can't really go to Dongyi City, right? Wouldn't that be seeking death?
"Why should I believe that you will keep your promise?" Annie frowned.

Qin Feng also frowned. He found that perhaps it was because his tone of voice was relatively calm, and the transaction he talked about gave the other party high expectations, which made Annie a little confused about the situation.

So he didn't bother to say anything more and just said in a deep voice: "You have no other choice!"

Annie was choked when she heard this and didn't speak for a long time.

Finally he stood up, walked to the table, and began to write a letter.

Just as Qin Feng said, she had no other way to go. The strength that Qin Feng had shown just now left her with no possibility of resistance.

"My words still stand. The deal is done and you will be free."

Qin Feng doesn't have much experience in threatening others, and he can't control the rhythm well.

I believe that with this experience, it will be much easier to deal with threats next time.

Soon, Anne finished writing the letter and left it on the table.

"Whatever you want to take, get it ready." Qin Feng continued.

Annie packed her things silently without saying a word, as if she had not yet come to her senses.

"Only this?"

After Annie packed her things, Qin Feng asked.

"Yes! We."

Anne nodded and wanted to ask something else.

But before she could finish her words, Qin Feng had already arrived in front of her and knocked her unconscious with a single finger.

Then he grabbed the things Anne had prepared with his left hand and held Anne in his arms with his right hand.

After sensing the surrounding situation for a while, Qin Feng found the right time and used Qinggong to leave.

Fan Mansion.

In Qin Feng's bedroom, Annie was thrown on the bed.

In the eyes of others, the bedroom where Qin Feng lives is the room that Fan Xian specially reserved for Teng Zijing and Wang Qinian, and they may stay here at night.

So normally, even if Fan Sizhe or Liu Ruyu came over, they wouldn't pay attention to this side.

At this time, there were only three people in Fan Xian's yard.

Annie, Qin Feng and Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu was standing in Fan Xian's bedroom. Qin Feng could sense him, but he did not go over to say hello.

"Stop pretending, I know you're awake." Qin Feng shouted towards the bed.

When he knocked Annie unconscious just now, he didn't use too much force and she only fainted for a short while. By now, Annie had already woken up.

"Where is this?" Annie didn't pretend anymore, she sat up on the bed and asked.

As she spoke, she looked around and felt relieved.

She didn't have any shackles on her hands and feet, and the place she lived in didn't look like a dungeon, so this meant that the deal Qin Feng mentioned might be true, and at least the other party had no intention of imprisoning her.

"You will only stay in this temporary place for half a day and leave at night."

"Go? Where?"

"Go outside the city!" Qin Feng said, pointing outside.

After Fan Xian got the key, the next big thing would basically be to go on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi.

During this period, Fan Xian's safety is not a problem and he will not make any promises to me.

So he is in a state of having nothing to do!
But there is one person who is likely to come looking for him, and that is Chen Pingping!
As for Fan Xian's diplomatic mission to Northern Qi, Chen Pingping would definitely find a way to prevent him from going to escort him.

So these few days, Qin Feng plans to go out of the city to hide.

Although Chen Pingping is powerful, if you want to plot against him, you must first be able to find him.

Qin Feng's move was equivalent to jumping off the chessboard, so naturally no one could use him as a chess piece.

As for when he would show up, he was not in a hurry. He would just tell Wu Zhu and notify him when Fan Xian went on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi.

He could take this opportunity to learn some Western magic.

"Didn't you say you were going to Qi? Why are you going outside the city?" Annie was stunned.

"We'll leave after a few days."

Qin Feng took out a pen and paper and said, "Now, start teaching me the writing system of your country."

Anne was very nervous now, like a frightened kitten.

Hearing this, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Can you take off the mask?"

She was feeling very confused and panicked right now. If Qin Feng took off his mask, she would at least feel a little better.

"Let's wait until the people from Dongyi City leave." Qin Feng shook his head. He didn't want to add any more risks.

Annie looked helpless, but there was nothing she could do so she could only start teaching Qin Feng English.
