"This woman is quite interesting."
Looking at Oglan and his group sitting on the steps in the distance, slurping their instant noodles, Fang Zheng couldn't help but smile and then spoke.
"Indeed, I thought she would buy only her own share."
Kulia was full now, and looked curiously at the group of "refugees" in the distance. It was no wonder, after all, the impression left by the woman during the day was that she was arrogant and looked like the best in the world. In Kulia's opinion, Fang Zheng made such an unreasonable request, and the woman might only buy her own share to fill her stomach. What she didn't expect was that the woman actually bought a bucket of instant noodles for everyone on their side.
What else can I say? I have money and I can do whatever I want.
"But...Mr. Fang Zheng, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this?"
After taking a bite of the roast chicken, Nanali also expressed her opinion.
"After all, they are so unlucky. I think we should take advantage of their misfortune..."
“This is a lesson they deserve.”
Fang Zheng raised the goblet, gently shook the 1982 Lafite inside in the candlelight, and hummed softly.
"You can't be too nice to some people, otherwise they will take everything they get for granted. You have to remember, Nunnally, that gratitude is a beautiful quality that not everyone possesses."
"That's right, just as my brother said."
Tilia also took out a napkin and wiped her mouth, then smiled slightly.
"Everything in the world requires an equal exchange. We saved their lives and provided them with food. We only ask them to give us money in return. I don't think there is anything strange about this practice."
“I see…”
Hearing Fang Zheng and Tilia's answers, Nanali nodded. She originally thought that what she and others did was not good, but after hearing Tilia's explanation, Nanali suddenly felt that what they said made sense. After all, if Tilia hadn't taken action, the cruise ship would definitely have been sunk by the pirate ship, and those people might have ended up in a more miserable way. And she and others saved their lives and took them on board, and only collected some money as a reward... It seems that it is not wrong?
The sky gradually darkened, and the sea breeze became stronger, but for Fang Zheng, this was not a problem. Under the effect of the magic barrier and the spiritual light, the howling sea wind and waves were blocked, and the originally shaking deck was now extremely stable. Under the light of the candles, it was really a pleasure to admire the sea under the night sky while enjoying the steaming hot food.
As expected, a wizard can do whatever he wants.
Unfortunately for those who are not mages, this is very difficult.
"Cousin, cousin, let's go back..."
Huddled at the entrance of the cabin, the man in fancy clothes whispered dissuadingly while looking at Fang Zheng who was enjoying a candlelight dinner outside with envy and jealousy.
"No... He took so much money from me, he should at least give us a place to live. Do you think we can sleep where we live now?!"
Oglen was furious when she thought of the room full of fishy smell and the damp bedding with dry lumps on it. Just after dinner, she had made an excuse to take a tour of the entire ship and found that except for the captain's room which was barely acceptable, the other cabins were almost equally rotten!
This made Oglen even more depressed. She wanted to see which cabin Fang Zheng and his group slept in. The small captain's room couldn't even fit two people. This damn stinky man had so many women around him. She wanted to see how he would arrange it! At that time, at worst... at worst, she could spend money to buy another room!
Because of this, Oglan insisted on staying here despite the cold wind. She wanted to see where Fang Zheng and these delicate girls were planning to rest!
"Okay, I'm almost full."
After enjoying a delicious dessert after the meal, Fang Zheng stood up with satisfaction. Then he stretched out his hand and patted the table. The next moment, the dining table in front of everyone disappeared instantly.
"Master, it's so comfortable..."
Seeing this scene, Nanali couldn't help but feel a little envious. Although alchemists can also create some equipment with magical effects, ordinary alchemists can't create spell effects like this. After all, the level of these magics is not low, and for alchemists, if they want to make high-level magic equipment, they need to spend a lot of materials and money. Compared with the spell effects that the wizard can cast with a wave of his hand, spending so much money on such things is obviously very uneconomical.
"Then go back and rest."
Hearing Nanali's sigh, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then he stretched out his hand and gestured in the air a few times, and then he saw a light door open in front of Fang Zheng, and through this door, he could even vaguely see an illusory hotel.
This is exactly the seventh-level spell of the conjuration system—Mage’s Mansion!
Although Fang Zheng can only touch the sixth-level spell ring at present, with the effect of the item [Resonance Sound], Fang Zheng can forcibly raise himself to the threshold of touching the seventh-level spell by doubling the consumption. After that, the first spell Fang Zheng mastered was "Mage's Mansion".
This thing is much more useful than a tent!
"Let's go to bed!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kulia cheered, then took Nanali's hand and ran into the light gate, and Tilia and Hecate followed closely behind. Just as Fang Zheng was about to enter the light gate, Nymph suddenly came to his side, stretched out her hand and gently pulled Fang Zheng's sleeve.
"Master, behind..."
"That stalker hasn't given up yet?"
Seeing Nymph's somewhat uneasy expression, Fang Zheng frowned. In the afternoon, Nymph came to him and said that there was a ship following them. The other party was very far away, but it was obviously taking the same route as the Black Crow. Not only that, Nymph also keenly felt that there was magic on the ship that hindered her detection. Fortunately, as an omnipotent angel of electronic warfare, Nymph's radar search capability was the best in the world, so even if the other party used magic to cover up, she would be able to find the trace.
"Yes, they are neither speeding up nor slowing down, but they are obviously following us. Should we take action?"
"Don't act rashly for now."
Hearing Nymph's question, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"We don't know the other party's identity yet. If we act on our own, it is very likely to alert the enemy. Anyway, let's do this for now...Aren't you going to go back and rest?"
"No, Master."
Nymph smiled.
"I always feel that something is wrong. To be on the safe side, I'd better be in charge of the investigation here."
"That's... okay."
Frankly speaking, Fang Zheng didn't want little angel Nymph to stay outside alone, but as Nymph said, it was always better to be careful, so he thought about it and finally nodded.
"Don't mess around. If you find anything unusual, notify me immediately. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master."
After hearing Fang Zheng's order, Nymph smiled, and then the next moment the little angel quickly flashed, activated the optical camouflage and disappeared into the air in an invisible state. Fang Zheng raised his head, looked at the starry sky above his head, and then walked into the light gate.
"Hey, wait, wait!!"
As soon as Fang Zheng walked into the light gate, Oglan rushed over. She was waiting to see where Fang Zheng went back to rest. But she didn't expect that the young man was so cruel - he was actually a mage!
Damn, the magician is so great that he can do whatever he wants!
But what made Oglan depressed was that she was still a step too late. Fang Zheng seemed to have not heard her call at all and walked directly into the light gate. Oglan could not stop and directly bumped into the magic barrier set up outside the light gate. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground, holding his forehead.
"Cousin, are you okay?"
At this time, the man in fancy clothes also hurried over and helped Oglan up.
"You'd better go back quickly. It's windy at night. Be careful not to hurt yourself..."
"...Okay, let's go back first. I'll settle the score with that rude guy tomorrow!!"
Hearing her cousin's words, Oglan hesitated for a moment, and finally gave an answer angrily. Then she turned and walked straight into the cabin, but at this moment Oglan did not notice that behind her, her dear cousin was looking at her back with a complicated look.
Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
