"I know you want to ask about the people who robbed the tribute this time. Yes. Some of them are indeed pirates, but the people behind the scenes are the Wizarding Society." Lucille said.

"Do you remember the wizard we defeated?"

"Of course I remember."

How could I forget? That was my first time fighting in this world.

Probably from then on, Sean became much more adept in subsequent battles, except for the first time which was a little more difficult... and the memory of it was the most profound.

"Didn't you learn the explosive magic you used during the day from that wizard?"

Sean suddenly remembered that Lucille had also used a hydrogen bomb when testing her combat effectiveness during the day, and the one she used was of a higher purity and had been compressed to the point of changing color.

"Yes, I thought that kind of attack had high damage, so I used it... But ever since the wizard appeared, I've been keeping an eye on their whereabouts." Lucille continued.

To be honest, Sean doesn't have a very good relationship with the Wizarding Society.

You can even say they are enemies!

Ever since they killed one of their members, all actions in the Bashalan Empire can be said to be under their surveillance.

Finally, in the battle in the palace, the court wizard La Pushi was a member of the Wizarding Society, and he knew everything he had done over the years. He also directly killed all the members of the archaeological team at that time except Lucille and Kerry.

"I heard about this later. It's a pity. Although Captain Kerry is not very strong, he has very unique insights in archaeological research and has studied many ancient relics. I also learned a lot when I was in their team." Lucille said dejectedly after hearing Sean's story.

He moved his body slightly.

It's night.

Living in the Adak area is quite comfortable at times like this.

It wasn't as hot as it was during the day, and the temperature was just right with the cloak on... Lucille also moved a little closer.

"After returning from the town, we disbanded the archaeological team. Captain Kerry originally wanted to sell the items we found and split the money among everyone before disbanding, but we didn't... However, during the camping trip later, I discovered that Guda in the team had a drinking habit. I was always worried that he would tell others about the wizarding society. Now it seems that my worries were correct."

"That's right. It was because Guda revealed our secret while drinking that he brought about his own death."

Sean could no longer remember the name Guda, he only remembered the various small explosives in his hands at that time.

An adventurer from Altinova, the Borg capital!

Kerry mentioned this in the Bashalan Kingdom, so I remember it...

"Members of the Wizarding Coven have always been like this. They will seek revenge. The fact that you have been targeted by them for so long and nothing happened proves that you have strong survivability." Lucille looked at Sean.

Haha~

You're just saying I'm cool enough.

"After the team disbanded, I didn't go north. Instead, I went south from Koga City to the port of Mersin Country. In fact, I have been investigating why the wizards appeared in the town."

Those beautiful eyes turned suddenly.

"Sean, have you ever thought about who originally spread the news that there would be ruins in the small town in southern Basaran?"

this……

I really haven't thought about this.

The small town of Telemian is indeed very weak. It is not even noticeable in the Bashalan Empire, let alone the world.

At that time, Sean just followed what the townspeople often said, that there was an ancient tomb in this place so adventurers or archaeologists would often come here, and he didn't think too much about it.

"I didn't quite understand it before, but what I've seen and heard over the past two years, especially after learning that you're a prince, has made me even more curious."

"What do you mean?" Sean asked.

"The Wizarding Society, perhaps they are looking for something your mother left behind. You know, she was once the leader of the Sun Crown and the Queen of the Desert."

Sean thought back to when he lived in a small town...

It was such a small house, how could there be anything else? He even dug out the grave of the previous generation Baron Weigel's father, but found nothing unusual.

But considering the murder of Baron Weigel's family, there seems to be something that doesn't make sense.

"Of course, perhaps I'm overthinking it. But for the past two years, I've followed the footsteps of the members of the Wizarding Coven across the vast ocean and even to the countries of the southern continent... I've found leaders of the Wizarding Coven there, but when I followed them, I realized they were planning to rob your tribute."

Everything made sense. Lucille had secretly followed the Wizarding Guild here, so it was no wonder she received tribute.

Based on Sean's understanding of her, it would be very easy for someone who is good at disguising herself in various identities to obtain tribute without anyone noticing.

You don't even need to fight to get it!

"Actually... I've been waiting for the Cain Slate for a while these years." Now that he had said it, Sean no longer concealed the fact that he had briefly obtained the slate from Frelia and told her that, although he had returned it in the end, the slate was of no use except for its special material and the incomprehensible words on it.

"What! You once got the slate."

"yes."

Compared to her calmness, Lucille was extremely excited.

"Back again?"

“That’s right!”

Looking at the other person's excited expression, Sean wondered if he had gone too far. That thing was really nothing.

“You are really…”

I couldn't help but stand up and sit down again.

"Damn it, I should have taught you how to use it."

There is actually a use for it.

Then why didn't Frelia and the others know? !

The night breeze blew through Lucille's hair and almost blew it into Sean's face because they were so close.

Reaching out and pulling it apart, it felt like caressing the other person's cheek.

Lucille took a step back...

"You...are you going to kiss me?"

???

He looked at the other person with a questioning look on his face. His expression was not lying, and his state was not right.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Roll your eyes.

Finally, he saw Lucille rolling her eyes at him.

"I haven't told you before, but for witches, touching behind the ear is like kissing. Only the closest people would do that."

Listening to the other party's words, Sean was even more confused, and various scenes flashed through his mind.

"Hmph, no wonder you've had so many romantic stories along the way. You're amazing, little prince. You dare to tease any witch you find... Come with me, I'll make up for the lessons you missed today."

Finally, two years later, Lucille decided to make up for the lessons that Sean had not completed.

"Remember, we are the wizards of Eternal Light. Although this name isn't well-known in the Adak region, we are a formidable presence among all wizard organizations. You must not only learn my magic, but also inherit my research."

"It's just right. Tell me what's described on the Cain Slate."

The two jumped off the roof and came into their study.
