Just as Frelia was about to open the door, Sean called her.

"They probably prepared it before we arrived at the hotel. If you look for them now, you can only find out who came in at that time."

I stopped at the door and thought about it for a while and felt that it was indeed the case.

The hotel where the team is staying today is one of the best in the town. It has several luxurious beds and I think anyone who has been there knows about them. Besides, most people along the way know that a prince from the desert is going to the capital, so many places have prepared their own accommodation in advance.

Maybe it was put there by the person who decorated the room...

"Or let's change rooms." Frelia was still a little worried.

And just at this moment there was a knock on the door!

They both fell silent at the same time.

"It's me, open the door!" Lucille's impatient voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the other person's voice, Frelia finally felt relieved and opened the door...

At the door,

Lucille probably didn't expect that the person who would open the door would be him. She was about to curse...but she even blurted out the word "you" but quickly took it back.

"Hello." Frelia didn't know how to describe her feelings towards Lucille. From Sean's point of view, she was a mentor and should be given at least the minimum respect.

However, this mentor always seemed to be lukewarm towards her, and since they were of different ages, they always felt awkward getting along with each other. What was more important was that Frelia was a descendant of a formal wizard, and she was more dignified in her words, deeds and attitude towards the outside world, while Lucille was an undisciplined person.

According to them, the magic was taught by outsiders and they have never received any formal education, so their personalities appear to be casual and free-spirited.

To put it nicely, he is free and easy; to put it bluntly, he just cares about his own happiness and doesn't care about anything else... But Sean is a prince, and his every word and action is within the rules.

Therefore, Frelia actually did not agree with this mentor, but her strong strength was the only reason she had to refute it.

"Where's Sean?"

Lucille didn't care what others thought of her and asked directly as soon as she walked in.

Frelia made way...

"What's wrong, mentor?"

A note was thrown in his hand.

"Look."

Sean took it and looked at it. Isn't it exactly the same as his own?

"It seems you received it too."

"How... could this room also..."

Show the other person a note with the same content written on it.

"I guess they didn't know which room I would end up in, so they put a note like this in all the relevant rooms. Do the rest of us have separate rooms?"

"Only these two, nothing else." Frelia replied.

Originally, Earl Barton had only prepared these...

"It seems that the other party is ready to reconcile with us." Looking at the meaning of the note, they do not want to conflict with the desert countries, which means they hope to reconcile.

"So what do you want to do, Sean?" Frelia asked Sean what he meant.

Of course, a country cannot be at the mercy of these idle organizations, and compared to them, Xerxes is obviously more worthy of making friends. However, it should be considered that the influence of the desert area is useless here, soldiers cannot be sent here, and if only a few teams come here, it is impossible to cause much substantial damage to the other side.

They cannot threaten me and I cannot conquer them.

"Of course we can't just let it go like this. I don't know anything about them, but they just left a piece of paper and ordered me around. That's too naive of them," Sean said with a smile.

"But we are on someone else's land..." Frelia hesitated.

If it were in a desert area, it would be easy to say. The Jagun Empire is capable enough to conquer the entire desert area, but it is hard to say if it were on another continent.

"Of course there's no need to listen to them. We just need to do our own thing."

Anyway, Sean originally planned to visit Emperor Sel and wait for news from the navy. If he could get the political support of Emperor Kserk, it would not be bad for him in the future. Similarly, Sean believed that the other party also urgently needed to establish an image of peaceful coexistence with the Desert Empire. Otherwise, it would not be good for both sides if the tribute issue continued to make things unpleasant.

"Well, let's do it this way."

Suddenly, Lucille spoke as if she had expected something.

"Sean, come out with me for a moment. I have something to ask you."

He glanced at Frelia next to him, who had a puzzled look on her face. However, Sean was her disciple, so if they had any private conversations, he wouldn't dare to pry into them.

"Wait for me." He gestured to Frelia to wait in the room and Sean followed Lucille's footsteps out the door.

In another room...

After entering the door, he cast a magic spell near the door.

[Soundproof~]

What is going on?

"Teacher, what are you doing..."

"Your little witch's abilities are too tricky. I have to be on guard."

???

Sean was full of questions. It sounded like he was about to do something and was afraid of being heard.

"How are you? Are you feeling steady lately? Don't be too tired to walk."

"I don't understand what you mean." In fact, he seemed to have some idea, but out of habit he let Sean continue asking.

Seeing the other person's blushing face, he felt like laughing. He remembered that more than 20 years ago, Lucille was just a little girl who listened to him in everything, but in a blink of an eye, she had become like this.

"You...just play dumb. You've been deceived by your little witch's body. You'll know when you find yourself running out of energy one day." Lucille had a look of disappointment on her face.

He reached out and pressed Sean's wrist again.

Just like before, I felt a cold warm current coming from the palm of my hand and then gradually flowing throughout my body.

"How is that possible!"

"What? Can you please speak nicely and stop scaring me?"

In fact, I haven't done anything since the day Lucille said that I only had half of my magic power left...

"Your level isn't right!"

"What do you mean?" I still didn't understand what this sentence meant.

"Do you have any item that can detect your level?"

Sean suddenly remembered the pocket watch that Igunya gave him, and he still has it with him!

"Yes." He took out his pocket watch.

"That won't work. Low-level items like this are useless. Your level is already over ten, how could it possibly be increasing so quickly? If I'm not mistaken, you should be about the same level as that little witch. But even though your magic power is constantly depleted, your level is constantly increasing."

What?
