"What are you going to do next?"

"Next?" Sean looked at her puzzledly, not knowing where she was referring.

"Of course it's your future plan... I originally came to see you this time to confirm whether you were the prince of Jagun. Later, you asked me to accompany you to eliminate the pirates, so I came too. I hope there won't be any other problems later."

"Are you ready to leave?"

Sean understood what Lucille meant. She was asking him if he had anything to say, so he quickly said no and she was leaving.

"I have my own things to do..."

"What is it?"

If Sean didn't know Lucille well before, he knows her inside and out now.

She doesn't have any strong background. If we talk about strength, she, the mentor with the power of ancient gods, is considered strong. As for those things behind her, they don't exist at all.

"Anyway, I have my own things to do."

"Teacher... although this may upset you, I still want to advise you not to persist in your research on the Cain Slate. I don't think it has the world-saving power we imagine. It may even be a power beyond our estimation. Didn't you say not to peer into the abyss of magic?"

Even if the incident of the 'Gate of Truth' was pulled out by himself, the other influences are still there.

And so far Sean has only seen two stone tablets, and there are other stone tablets... including the power gained by using them to communicate with the ancient gods.

Ever since meeting his mother Ayla, Sean felt that possessing the power of the ancient gods was not unique, and that there might be other people in the world who possessed this power, and these stone tablets were the bridge to connect them.

"I understand what you mean, but I also have my own pursuits."

"Once a person dies, there is nothing left to pursue!" Sean was somewhat right.

"You don't trust my power so much?"

"Your power may not be as strong as you think."

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lucille changed a little. He was no longer angry, but the attitude in his tone was not as gentle as before.

"Little disciple, if you say that again you will make me angry!"

From the other party's tone, Sean felt that she did not intend to give up the pursuit of the Cain Slate, and he did not understand why she suddenly became obsessed with the slate.

She might have thought there was a purpose before, but now it seems those so-called sects and organizations don't exist at all. She just wanted to know...

"Well, the Immortal Wine and the Alchemist's Stone are products that defy common sense. I want you to come with me to the imperial capital of Kserk and personally visit the people who created these two items to see what kind of power they possess. Is that okay?"

I went back to the point more than 20 years ago to eliminate Naa, but I only eliminated the impression of radioactive elements, while the Alchemist Stone and the Undying Wine still existed. Otherwise, the story of the tribute might not have happened!

"Well, I also want to investigate this matter. It would be more legitimate to do it in your name." Lucille agreed.

Back to the dormitory.

Frelia had already woken up, and there was breakfast porridge on the table.

"Why don't you go to the dining table?" Sean asked the other person.

"I see you've all gone, so I won't disturb you." Frelia smiled.

She looks particularly charming today, and seems to have added a bit of charm compared to before!

Sean walked into the other side.

But Frelia took the initiative to hold his hand...

"I just saw you arguing with your mentor?"

"Some little things." Sean said casually.

"Are you arguing over trivial matters?" Frelia is not the kind of girl who can be dismissed with just a few words.

She just didn't ask any more questions, but that didn't mean she believed it. She might have to ask Sean later, so she just said it herself.

"Actually, it's still the same things. I originally asked her to help us wipe out the pirates, and now the pirates have indeed been dispersed, so my mentor's mission is completed. If she wants to continue her own research... it's just..." Sean expressed his concerns about the Cain Slate.

"Actually, from a wizard's perspective, I quite understand your mentor. The Cain Slate has always been the ultimate masterpiece pursued by wizards. Since ancient times, it has been said to possess the power to control the world and unlock its secrets. Any wizard who reaches a bottleneck in their level will seek ways to improve. The greater the power, the more dependent it becomes."

Sean couldn't argue with that.

If it weren't for this curiosity and enterprising spirit, human beings would not have developed to what they are today, but it is also this curiosity that puts people in real danger.

Should the Ark sail far or stay at anchor...most people would choose the former!

"Anyway, I will handle this matter. I actually hope she can stay and help me. If I return to Jagun in the future, I may encounter many problems. If she can stay, it will increase my strength."

"You are restricting other people's freedom. If it were me, I wouldn't agree either." Frelia retorted without any reason.

He rolled his eyes at Sean.

"Um???"

"Hee~ I disagree."

Suddenly laughed.

There was a happier expression on his face than ever before.

Holding hands, they sat down together again...

………………

Rocks was brought to Yalanburg in the afternoon...

He and six or seven pirates were escorted here by Earl Barton's soldiers.

Many people were surprised that a pirate who had been roaming the South China Sea for more than ten years was caught!

At the market in Yalan Fort, when people heard that Rocks was escorted to Lucas's house and that the desert prince who led the Jagun navy to annihilate the pirates was also there, many people rushed to come and take a look.

However, Earl Barton and Captain Giles summoned almost all the troops available in the city, and the state alchemists guarding the door prevented many people from getting close!

"That great pirate Rocks was really caught?"

"That's right... I saw Mr. Lucas bringing the Desert Prince with him yesterday."

"What does the Desert Prince look like? Is he also dark and strong?"

There was no response after that.

In the courtyard of Lucas's mansion, several pirates tied with chains were sent down from the carriage surrounded by hundreds of soldiers and several high-level witches such as Frelia and Lucille.

"Get out of here!"

One foot was kicked down.

The first person who fell was covered in filth, and his appearance was almost unrecognizable, with his hair so dirty that it was stuck together.

Sean walked up to take a look at the pirate leader, who was emitting a foul stench and could barely lift his arms.

"You must be Rocks, right? I never thought we'd meet under these circumstances... You're truly remarkable! It took me so much effort to capture you!"
