Kao is the Rose Kingdom of the Natural Alliance.

The people of Kao love roses, and the royal family especially likes them, and they respect black roses the most.

Among the three khals invited to Sturgeon Mansion, two were high-level wizards and one was a four-ring master.

Everyone wore a mithril black diamond ring, which looked inconspicuous at first glance, but as the sunlight refracted and observed from a certain angle, one could see gorgeous rose light and shadow inside the black diamond.

At this moment, in a spacious and bright room, three people were sitting in a circle of thick leather chairs, with fine wines and nut snacks placed on the small table beside them.

At the door stood two fully armed intermediate warriors.

The three were called in shortly after they got off the boat, and they had no idea what was going on.

At first, of course, they didn't dare to say anything and just stared at each other.

But after a long time, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Then they quietly establish a spiritual connection and communicate with the whispers of the soul.

"Obviously, the island's defenses are much tighter than we thought, and the baron must have used lightning messengers on a large scale."

"If the Baron knew our purpose, how would he treat us?"

The magic master said: "Just wait, we will know soon."

This master of magic was less than forty years old, with short dark blond hair parted sideways. He was dressed in a new style of black and white shirt, a typical look of a successful businessman.

There are many businessmen like this on the White Sturgeon Island today, but they are not very conspicuous.

After saying this, he stopped talking.

The other two senior mages looked at each other and were speechless.

So I continued to wait in boredom.

About an hour later, the two intermediate warriors standing outside the door suddenly stood up and saluted, calling him Lord.

Immediately afterwards, a very tall and strong young female warrior appeared at the door.

Just when the three khal wizards felt something was strange, the female warrior stepped aside and an equally tall, black-haired man wearing an exquisite dark blue leather windbreaker walked over.

The man was naturally Rosen. He smiled faintly and said, "Good day, three wizards."

The magic master took the lead in saluting: "Hail, Baron."

His attitude was so respectful that the senior wizard, who originally wanted to just nod casually, had to increase the formality of his courtesy.

Rosen raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the thirty-seven or thirty-eight year old master of magic in front of him.

Only when he made the latter feel uncomfortable did he suddenly speak.

"Are you Sir Avalit of the Black Moon Analysis Bureau?"

The Black Moon Analysis Bureau, whose full name is 'Special Magic Principle Analysis Bureau', sounds elegant, but one of its main functions is to steal technology from abroad, and Aaron is the main target of the theft.

Because it uses the black moon as its symbol, it is also named Black Moon.

By the way, the Cao people also like the moon very much, and they consider admiring roses under the moon to be the most elegant activity.

Back to the topic.

Perhaps because his identity was revealed as soon as they met, the magic master's eyes narrowed: "The Baron is well-informed."

He looked very 'shocked' and did not deny Rosen's guess, but he seemed calm inside.

Rosen vaguely sensed the other party's inconsistent emotional fluctuations, but he remained calm on the surface.

He walked into the room, sat down on an empty chair, picked up a pine nut and began to peel it.

"Sir, you're here for the Lightning Messenger, right?"

"No." Sir Avalit denied it immediately.

Rosen seemed not to hear and continued talking.

"My Lightning Messenger is for sale. If you khals want it, just buy it. There's no need to take the risk of stealing it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the chair opposite, motioning for the three to sit down.

After the three of them sat down, Rosen signaled Alia to close the door and set up a magical barrier on the doors and windows.

Seeing that Rosen had made his point clear and that the three of them had been completely controlled by the other party, Sir Avalit sighed deeply.

"Baron, we didn't intend to steal. We just wanted to investigate first so that we can gain some bargaining chips for the subsequent transaction."

Rosen smiled and didn't respond.

He suddenly asked back, "I heard that His Majesty Silge accidentally fell some time ago, and his legs and feet have been not working well since then, and no treatment can cure it."

"So it seems that Your Majesty probably doesn't have much time left?"

Sir Avalit was shocked: "No, these are just rumors. Your Majesty has already fully recovered."

"That's good. That's good."

Rosen had an unfathomable smile on his face, and suddenly asked, "First Prince Ryan, Third Prince Aswang, Sixth Princess Freya, which one do you support?"

As soon as these words came out, the three khao wizards looked at each other with very interesting expressions on their faces.

Sir Avalit's heartbeat quickened, and even though the room was cool, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He didn't want to talk about it too much, so he immediately said, "Baron, we at the Black Moon Analysis Bureau only focus on our work and never care about court politics."

"What if this court politics concerns the future of the country? Don't you care at all?"

Rosen was playing with a pine nut in his hand and raised his eyes with a teasing light in them.

Sir Avalit felt his mind was in a mess and he had no idea how to deal with it.

"We are just small people. It's useless even if we want to care."

In order to give himself time to regroup, he also picked up a nut and started to peel it.

Rosen once again ignored his answer and said with certainty: "You support the Sixth Princess Freya!"

Sir Avalit was just about to put the nut meat into his mouth, but when he heard this, his hand trembled and the flesh about to his mouth fell to the ground.

"Baron, don't talk nonsense, I am neutral!"

Rosen chuckled and turned to look at the two senior mages beside him.

"The Black Moon Analysis Bureau has always been under the charge of the Third Prince Aswang, but this knight went to support the Third Prince's political enemy, the Sixth Princess."

"That's a little unacceptable, isn't it, you two?"

The two senior mages' minds had long been drawn to Rosen's rambling topics.

At this moment, the two men subconsciously followed his words, turned their heads, and looked at Sir Avalit with hostile eyes.

The king is old, and the struggle for royal power in Kao has become very fierce. The princes and princesses are all actively looking for opportunities, and the domestic political arena has also been divided into several distinct factions.

They all knew that the Black Moon Analysis Bureau belonged to the Third Prince, so they should be hostile to Sir Avalit who had defected to the Sixth Princess.

One of the senior wizards said coldly, "Sir, the Third Prince has been very kind to all of us, but you side with the Sixth Princess. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Avalit frowned and said, "George, I never said that I support the Sixth Princess. I have always supported the Third Prince!"

Then the two sides started arguing.

Rosen narrowed his eyes and watched the three mages quarreling with each other.

Occasionally, I would also interject.

"If you ask me, I'd better support the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Princess is generous and kind, and she doesn't have any bad habits, unlike the Third Prince, who likes to hold peacock balls."

Sir Avalit felt that he could no longer let the baron talk. If he continued, they would be exposed.

However, Rosen has already completely confirmed the true identities of these three people and doesn't want to continue acting.

He smiled slightly: "Aaron people, you made a mistake, a mistake of insufficient preparation."

These three mages are not from the Khal at all, and have nothing to do with the Black Moon Analysis Bureau. Instead, they are Aaron's spies disguised as Khal people.

Sure enough, Sir Avalit stood up again in shock, and this time not only his appearance was shocked, but his soul was shocked as well.

"Baron, what do you mean?!"

Rosen smiled and said, "I know that the real Lord Avalit is actually the man of the Great Prince Ryan. It turns out that you are totally unaware of such an important thing. This preparation is really disappointing."

He had only guessed it, but now he was completely sure.

Sir 'Avalit' looked at Rosen in shock.

The two senior mages behind him were also horrified, their faces turning pale and blue.

Rosen's expression remained very calm. He folded his hands on the desk and reminded with a smile.

"Don't even think about using force against me. Half a year ago, I was able to defeat Sarath with my low-level mana."

"Now that I have intermediate magic power and I am protected by a battle master, and you don't have any magic weapons, I guarantee that you three won't be able to use any spells."

Sir Avalit's clenched hands gradually relaxed: "In the beginning, how did the Baron discover our true identities?"

"I was just guessing at first. After all, when the Aarons and the Kaos want to do something bad, they often disguise themselves as each other, and they pretend to be very similar."

Aaron and Kao are old enemies, and it is normal for them to make fun of each other.

"Unfortunately, my eyesight is good, and because of my wife Princess Chenxi, I am especially wary of the Aaron people."

Sir Avalit turned pale when he heard this.

Rosen ignored him and asked, "I want to know your true identity. Are you affiliated with Aaron Night Guard? Or is it the Overseas Confidential Department under the Lion Fang Manufacturing Bureau?"

Sir Avalit gritted his teeth and said, "Baron, there is no need to ask more questions. Since the operation has failed, there is nothing to say. Just kill us."

Rosen shook his head: "I want to know, and I need you to serve me."

He sent spies to various countries in the Witt continent, but the intelligence network was just starting out, and most of the time, he could only find out some insignificant surface information.

If you want to obtain confidential internal information, it is useless to rely solely on external investigations; you also need to connect with some key internal personnel.

Rosen had his eyes on these three Aaron spies.

Especially this 'Sir Avalit', who is a master of magic and must have access to a lot of confidential information.

Sir Avalit's eyes widened: "Baron, this is impossible!"

Rosen smiled slightly and revealed his trump card: "I recently found a very powerful assistant."

"This assistant is proficient in pure water magic, and is particularly good at finding blood-related relatives through the connection of pure water."

As he spoke, he looked at the three Aaron wizards, only to see that their faces were pale.

Rosen's gaze returned to Sir Avalit's face.

"Serve me, and I will allow you to successfully purchase 10 Lightning Messengers, allowing you to successfully complete your mission and gain more opportunities for promotion."

"Your job is also very simple. Just secretly pass on Aaron's weapons research progress to me. Note that it is only the progress, not the specific content."

"You and I both know that the risk is not high."

"But if you refuse, I'm very sorry. I will make you and all your relatives disappear from this world, and then patiently wait for the next batch of Aaron spies to come and ask the same questions."

Sir Avalit's face turned pale and blue when he heard this: "Baron, aren't you afraid of Aaron's revenge?"

Rosen asked back, "Why, if I don't do this, will Danger like me?"

He added: "I admit that Danger is an ambitious king and very powerful, but his biggest enemy is not me, but Queen Zoya who is opposite the Giant Fortress."

"My island is 1,800 kilometers away from Aaron. There is no reason for him to make a fuss over such a small matter."

"If he gets angry about this, the most I can do is give him some money."

As he spoke, Rosen took out a stack of Chenxi Bank deposit certificates from his pocket and shook them gently, making a rustling sound.

"There are 200,000 Oggs here. I can easily take them out. I also think that your lives should not be worth so much."

The blue color on Sir Avalit's face disappeared, leaving only paleness: "When we return to our country, you won't be able to find us at all!"

"Don't worry, it's possible. Because of this Pure Water Mage."

At this point, Rosen stood up slightly, leaned close to Sir Avalit's ear, and whispered in his mind: "He has a magical power of up to six rings. He has his own way to kill your family quietly, and no one will find out who did it."

This is true. If a high-level mage has already obtained the soul aura of his opponent and concentrates on finding someone, he will definitely find him.

Not to mention the Banshee Queen who is proficient in pure water, even he has multiple ways.

In this era, high-level mages are not very good at head-on combat, but they are still very good at stealth assassination.

The most important thing is that these three spies are obviously civilians with no foundation, and such people are the easiest to threaten.

Sir 'Alvarit' was indeed deeply threatened.

His body shook violently: "Impossible!"

Rosen sat back down: "Is it possible? You can give it a try."

As these words were spoken, three fist-sized balls of azure water vapor suddenly appeared from the bodies of the three Aaron wizards.

The water vapor appeared quickly and then quickly disappeared into the void.

During the whole process, the three Aaron mages did not feel anything unusual, not even any fluctuations in mana, let alone stop it.

Rosen explained at the right time.

"Well, the pure water aura on you has been locked by this powerful wizard. Forget about returning home. It's useless even if you escape to the Glorious Empire."

Sir Avalit collapsed on the chair, his whole body weak, and the other two senior wizards also looked ashen.

After a long while, he said weakly: "Baron, you are a devil!"

"Danger wasn't any more merciful than me when he tried to hang me from a street lamp in Glory Square."

He tapped the bank deposit slip in his hand and said, "Okay, gentlemen, go back to Aaron with peace of mind. Someone will contact you later."

"I hope you guys will work hard and help me develop some downline members. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly and I will give you generous rewards."

"If you are in danger, my people will do their best to rescue you, and my Sturgeon Island will always be your retreat."

After saying that, Rosen turned and left.

He is busy.

To open a new route, Aaron needs to make plans.

Aaron's old rival, Kaa, needs to make plans.

But the old king of Kaa is really dying, and it is estimated that he will live for only a year at most.

Currently, the domestic situation in Cao is really chaotic, and the country has even lost its sensitivity to important foreign information.

This is not a good thing for Rosen.

"At this juncture, the old king of Kaa cannot die. I must go to Kaa at least for another five years."

He must go in person because there are some things that only he can do.
