Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

Chapter 58: The Crafty Smile

Zhao Hai looked at the magic robe in his hands and felt quite speechless. The craftsmanship of this mage robe was not very good, and the fabric was made of some unknown material that was extremely thick. It was just a piece of cloth, but it felt heavy in his hands. What made it even more frustrating was that the style of the robe made it look like something a villain character would wear in a television show.

The robe was entirely black, with a large hood attached to the back. Most importantly, the face section of the hood had a layer of black gauze that could cover the wearer's entire face, making it impossible to see their appearance when the hood was worn.

Well, no matter how one looked at it, this was something that had been agreed upon with Galen. Besides, he was disguising himself as a dark mage, so wearing this was quite fitting.

The magic robe was very loose but also quite thick. Zhao Hai took off his outer warrior's attire and put on the magic robe. To his surprise, wearing this did not make him feel cold at all. Although the fabric didn't seem impressive, it was very warm and quite soft, making it comfortable to wear.

Zhao Hai couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. He casually picked up the magic staff that was placed nearby, put on the hood, and walked out of the thatched cottage.

Galen and the others stared blankly at Zhao Hai, who had just walked out. When Zhao Hai wore the warrior attire, they had never noticed it before, but it turned out that the clothes that suited Zhao Hai the most were actually the magic robe.

The dark mage robe fit Zhao Hai perfectly. He exuded a very peculiar aura, as if he did not belong to this world. However, if one did not pay special attention to him, they would not feel his presence at all, almost like he was an invisible man.

In fact, the reason Zhao Hai had such an aura was entirely due to his experiences as a shut-in on Earth. Shut-ins generally do not interact much with others and can sometimes seem out of place in the world. At the same time, they are very adept at hiding themselves, always placing themselves in spots where people would not notice them, while they coldly observe the myriad of human experiences.

Zhao Hai had an experience like this on Earth. He went out with a friend to take care of some business, and the two invited someone to dinner. From inviting that person to getting into the car, and finally arriving at the restaurant, Zhao Hai had been right next to his friend. However, once they entered their private room, the person they invited surprisingly glanced at Zhao Hai and asked his friend, "Is this person also invited by you?"

This question left Zhao Hai and his friend at a loss because Zhao Hai had accompanied them the whole way, yet the other person had completely failed to notice him. This showed just how inconspicuous Zhao Hai was; he could practically be called an urban invisible man.

It was precisely because of this kind of aura that Zhao Hai looked even more fitting in the black robe. He seemed out of place in this world, yet his presence was easy to overlook, which was precisely the kind of aura a dark mage should have.

Generally, people who seem out of place attract more attention, but in Zhao Hai's case, these two qualities merged into one, forming a very peculiar aura. At first glance, one could notice him, but then they would immediately overlook his presence.

Seeing Galen and the others staring at him in a daze, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be surprised. He quickly removed the hood and asked Galen and the others, "What's wrong? Is it strange?"

As soon as Zhao Hai removed the hood, Galen and the others snapped back to their senses. When Zhao Hai wore the hood, his aura suddenly changed, and that peculiar aura disappeared, transforming into that of a friendly neighbor boy.

This shift in aura was mysterious and subtle; if one did not witness it with their own eyes, no one would believe it. However, Galen and the others were very pleased. As long as Zhao Hai wore the magic robe, he was a dark mage, and once he took it off, no one would connect him with that dark mage.
