Looking at the extra twenty gold coins on the contract, Ash Mido asked in confusion.
"Knowledge is knowledge, and paper is paper. Originally, my master planned to let you bring your own paper to copy, but White Wave Island is a bit messy, so I told you to go back and copy slowly."
Ash Mido said nothing more. The two parties exchanged money for goods without even signing a soul contract, because Xia Lan knew that the knowledge would be kept tightly in the hands of these nobles. Even if Ash Mido wanted to resell it to make a profit, the nobles under him would not agree.
Wodek took the resources obtained from the trade and went straight back to White Wave Island without stopping for a second in the Allied Fleet.
"Count, Ciaran Auglos has left the port with the captured fleet!"
After hearing Willow Gowen's report, Ash Mido hurried to the bridge and found that not only half of the Nine Demon Fleet in Xia Lan's hands had left the port, but the Silver Deer, the ships left by the merchants, and the three Black Water Fleets had also all weighed anchor.
Ashe Mido looked from the fleet that had left the port to the dock again and found that rows of shield walls had been erected. In addition to the veterans, all the members of the Silver Deer Legion that had been hiding in the rear during yesterday's battle were also dispatched.
These are Xialan Augulus's guards of honor. Now that the main force of the coalition forces is here, they are nothing to be afraid of.
That's... a sixth-order mage! Another sixth-order mage! Where did that little liar find so many sixth-orders?
Behind the army formation, Phaodis transformed into the appearance of an adult he disliked, leaning on the stolen staff, scratching his butt out of boredom, and immediately stood still when he sensed Ash Mido's gaze.
Cold sweat broke out on Ash Mido's forehead. This was an opportunity to obtain the secret of Sharan Auglos's rise, but the price was too high...
"Brother, please take good care of my children. Don't let them seek revenge. As long as they grow up safely..."
"Ashe, my good brother, stay alive. You can't defeat them..."
He couldn't help but recall the disaster on the snowy night thirteen years ago, when he lost his dearest sister and his best brother...
Obtain the secret of how Shallan Auglos grew from a con man to where he is today, and you will gain the power of revenge...
As if a devil was whispering temptation in his ear, Ash Mido unconsciously tightened his grip on the sword at his waist, ready to draw it and order an attack...
No, it's a trap!
Facing Xialan Augulus, who had fooled the Tilan royal family and the Red Condom, he was actually careless. Perhaps the deal just now was made just to make him relax his vigilance. When the knowledge was handed over to him, the real purpose was already exposed!
Xialan Augulus knew that he had not taken action because he held the inheritance of knowledge in his hands. This was the most powerful and fragile thing, powerful enough to help him achieve revenge, yet fragile enough to disappear with a single fire...
Now that we have the item, let's bet on whether we can find the secret from Xia Lan Auglos' body after killing him...
"Count, the young master and the young lady are still on the boat."
This sentence woke up Ash Mido. He loosened the hilt of the sword and gave the order reluctantly.
"withdraw……"
Ciaran Auglos, I lose this time...
He knew that if he hadn't caught him this time, he didn't know how he would grow up next time. He decided to first send troops to explore the Thunder Sea south of White Wave Island to see if they could find Black Water Island...
