A quarter of an hour later, in the VIP guest bedroom.

Dalet and Belkan stood facing each other, and on the floor between them lay a docile ram.

This was the result of Belkan releasing 12 medium-effect dispel spells in a row.

"Is it a sheep?"

Darlet looked at the sheep and swallowed hard.

The mid-level mage Belkan sighed deeply.

"Sir, we must have been deceived by a very mysterious and cunning shapeshifter."

"This shapeshifter is extremely skilled at transforming sheep into living humans. He has created more than thirty flawless women."

Darlett felt something was wrong and interrupted: "Wait, wait, you seem to know this shapeshifter?"

Belkan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know him, I just heard about his deeds."

After a pause, the white-haired wizard sighed and said, "Sir, I'm afraid this money can't be recovered."

Seeing that Sir Darlett was not relieved but instead looked resentful, he hurried to persuade him.

"Sir, this is not our hometown. We don't know many people here. If we insist on seeking revenge, we might get into even bigger trouble."

"The most important thing is that this may reveal your personal habits, and once this is known to the temple, it will be very troublesome."

Belkan had figured it out. The liar must have seen this point and that’s why he targeted Dalet.

Because as long as the scam is successful, the aftereffects are almost negligible.

Sir Darlett listened, but he had different ideas.

"Belkan, there are only two people on the other side at most. They used such despicable means to cheat my money, which means they are very short of money. It is very likely that they don't have any powerful magic weapons!"

"And you, Belkan, your staff and amulet are good things tailor-made for you, and most of the spells you master are also prepared for combat."

"This liar is definitely not your opponent, and he definitely doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. As long as you find him and scare him severely, you will definitely be able to get the money back!"

That's 2,000 gold Oggs! If it was used to buy talent, it would be an investment, and it would be spent. But now it's used to buy a sheep whose market price is less than 2 Oggs! 2,000 Oggs for a sheep.

The price difference is 1,000 times. Even if the sheep was raised by Princess Chenxi herself, it is not worth this price!

Dalet was bleeding from the pain!

And what he said was not without reason. Strictly speaking, Belkan, the magic consultant, also bears a lot of responsibility for being deceived so much.

Although I know very well that the money cannot be recovered, I must take action to at least show that I have tried my best.

So he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go track it down right away!"

Grabbing a full set of magic tools and taking some emergency potions, Belkan quickly left the room and chased all the way to the guest room on the second floor.

The door is closed.

The wizard opened the door with his hand, and the room was empty. There was nothing inside except the smell of herbs.

I immediately used a tracking spell, but as expected, nothing was found.

The spell yielded no results, so I could only search the room for ordinary clues.

After searching around, Belkan stopped on the windowsill.

There were several footprints on the windowsill, with the toes pointing outward, indicating that the other party did not go through the main door at all, but jumped directly out of the window.

It is most likely that floating technique was used.

Looking out the window again, I saw the alley at the backyard of the hotel. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

The other party was a shapeshifter and had left for half an hour. The hotel was still located in the harbor area with a huge flow of people. Hiding in it with one or two people was like a fish swimming into the sea.

Not to mention he was alone, even if he reported to the Harbor District Security Office and mobilized thousands of patrol guards to search together, it would be useless.

Belkan simply gave up the pursuit.

"Sir, the man has disappeared, and the clues have been carefully erased. My tracking spell has no effect."

Darlett fell silent.

After a few minutes, he exhaled a long breath and whispered, "Don't let anyone else know about this."

Belkan nodded quickly: "Of course."

Dalet added: "2,000 Oggs is not a small amount. When we return to the Kingdom of Kao, if my father asks about it, we will say that we were robbed."

"I understand, sir."

"Damn liar! I curse you to hell!"

Finally, Darlett couldn't hold back his anger and swept the bottles and cans on the table to the ground, splashing soup all over the room.

But happiness is a conserved quantity. Although the total amount remains unchanged, it will be transferred.

Darlett was seething with rage because his five-minute happiness had been transferred to someone else.

The harbor area is brightly lit at night.

On the bustling and noisy seaside avenue, Rosen and Selena were sitting in a high-end rental carriage.

This was just rented from the high-end car dealership next to the Tuna Hotel, the rental fee is 20 ogg per day.

In the carriage, Selena was beaming with joy, looking over and over again at the shining bank deposit slip.

"Rosen, I never thought there would be such a big ass in the world, hahahaha."

"Spending 2000 Oggs to buy a servant, hahahaha~~This person's brain must have been kicked by a sheep, hahahaha."

She was so happy that she wanted to dance.

Things went smoothly and the harvest was much more than expected. Rosen was also somewhat happy, with a faint smile on his young face.

Selena suddenly became confused again: "There is something I don't understand."

"how?"

Selena put away the bank deposit slip and once again carefully looked at the unexpected young husband beside her.

"I don't understand. Since you have such a good ability to make money, how can you not pay Anna's tuition?"

Rosen spread his hands and said, "Madam, I would like to, but I have to have time."

Seeing that Serena was confused, he explained further.

"In the past ten years, I have spent all my time and energy on learning magic. If it weren't for my father's unexpected death, I would have wanted to study with my mentor for a few more years."

This is true, he has been wandering in the world of magic and is deeply fascinated by it.

It was only during the half month since he received the letter from his mother that he began to focus some of his attention back on the secular world.

Selena understood and couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

"If Anna heard you say this, she would definitely be even more annoyed with you."

"Tell me the truth, what else have you learned besides Transfiguration?"

Rosen started counting on his fingers.

"That's a lot."

"I know how to make magic tools, draw scrolls, draw magic arrays, refine potions, create puppets, etc. I also have some original research in some areas."

Serena blinked and said, "I've learned a lot, but I still want to ask, where is your magic power?"

"Is it really only one level strong?"

Rosen nodded confidently: "Madam, I am indeed a low-level mage, to be more precise, I am in the early to middle stage of the low level."

Selena was half-believing and half-doubting. She rolled her eyes and suddenly raised her hand to pat Rosen's shoulder. At the same time, a faint light flashed in the palm of her hand.

At the moment when the water light touched Rosen's shoulder, Rosen's shoulder suddenly lit up and a white mist-like light emerged.

This is the mage's self-protection instinct.

I saw the condensed water light and the white mist light touch each other gently, stimulating a large number of tiny electric arcs.

Soon, the white mist was forced to retreat continuously by the condensed water light, and it was obviously no match for it.

Rosen lowered his shoulders, a look of pain on his face.

He frowned, a trace of anger appeared on his face: "Madam, even if you are a high-level wizard, you can't bully others like this, right?"

Selena immediately withdrew her hand and apologized softly: "Okay, okay, I was wrong."

Rosen's expression eased a little: "Okay, this matter is over."

But in her heart she laughed: 'A pampered princess who is raised in a golden nest and lives a life of luxury wants to test my bottom line. She is just wishful thinking.'

Of course, Selena didn't know what Rosen was thinking. She just thought that she had figured out Rosen's true strength, and her mind was immediately at peace.

"It seems he is just a clever little liar. When we get to Sturgeon Island, we won't have to worry about being bullied by him."

She stretched her body, showing her slender and round waist to Rosen.

"My little husband, now that we have money, let's buy some magical weapons for self-defense. The other things can be made do, but the staff must be as useful as possible."

She was used to the sense of security that she felt from having a staff and various magical instruments on her.

In this state, I feel like a hunter walking empty-handed in a forest full of ferocious beasts, feeling very panicky.

Rosen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, ma'am, have you forgotten something?"

"ah?"

Rosen reminded: "We made a bet before at the Tuna Hotel."

Selena remembered, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face: "Of course I didn't forget."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do? Dance or sing?"

Rosen said nothing, just stared at Serena's face.

Selena felt something, her heartbeat quickened, her cheeks slightly heated up, and she quickly patched it up.

"You can kiss me, but not on my lips. I'm not ready for that yet."

Rosen didn't kiss her. Instead, he slowly raised his hand and gently touched Selena's forehead under her wary eyes.

"Madam, your frown has never really relaxed since we left Dawn Castle this morning."

The unexpected action made Selena a little confused about Rosen's intentions.

"Really? So what?"

"So, my request is that Madam, please don't take today's events too seriously, because life is still long and anything can happen."

"Those who are high and mighty now may become prisoners or even be sent to the guillotine in the future."

“Those who have fallen from the clouds now may rise again in the future and shine brightly on earth.”

Without waiting for a response, he turned to the coachman and said, "Turn around and go to the dock warehouse area~"

Almost at the same time, Lai Fu also sounded the alarm.

'Aaron Night Guards were spotted in the harbor area, at least 150 in number, 600 meters away.'

150 is the summary of the findings of "Detection Guards" from various places, and 150 is the lower limit.

600 is the distance of the nearest detection guard to him, which is the dangerous distance preset by Rosen.

In other words, these 'Death Gods' from Aaron were less than a kilometer away from him, and he didn't even have a battle staff in his hand.

Rosen sighed inwardly: "Ah, these are really a group of difficult hounds."

At this time, Serena finally came to her senses: "Is that it?"

Rosen smiled and said, "It's just a small matter to agree on the bet."

"But this is a big deal, and it makes me feel much better."

After a pause, Selena suddenly leaned over and pecked Rosen on the cheek: "I'll give you a kiss as a thank you for enlightening me."

Rosen smiled slightly: "Then I will accept it without hesitation."

When the carriage passed the dock, he took out a glass bottle filled with yellow and slightly foamy liquid from somewhere.

In front of Selena, he chanted a few spells on the bottle, then opened the car window and threw it into the Storm Bay on the side of the road.

Selena asked curiously, "What was thrown into the sea? Beer?"

Rosen nodded: "Yes, it's the beer that wasn't finished."

Selena was even more puzzled: "When did you buy the microphone? You, you, you, you actually installed it secretly~ You, you, you, you are sick in the brain!"

She finally knew the truth about the liquid in the bottle.

Rosen laughed and looked at the three knights running past the window. He looked at the matte black armor hidden under their ordinary clothes and the faintly visible lion emblem on it, and explained as if nothing had happened.

"Madam, have you read Master Franco's Anti-Tracing?"

Selena was startled: "I haven't seen it, what's wrong?"

"The book says that if you are not sure you can completely and thoroughly get rid of your opponent's pursuit, then just muddy the waters."

After saying that, he pointed to the bay by the road and said, "Now, the entire Storm Bay, and all the rivers connecting to the bay, have become substitutes for you and me."

Selena understood Rosen's intention, but still found it hard to accept, and her cheeks burned with embarrassment.

It took a while before I remembered my previous doubts: "Why go to the dock warehouse? Shouldn't I go to buy a staff?"

"Ma'am, you can't buy a really good staff for 2,000 Oggs. We have to buy the materials and make it ourselves."

"My plan is to go to the warehouse and buy some high-quality magic materials at a low price, and then make a magic staff and some commonly used magic tools by myself."

I quietly added in my mind: "Once I have the magic weapon, I will have to go and make some big money."

If it weren't for the accident with Selena, the 2,000 Oggs would barely be enough, and at most I could earn another thousand or two.

But with the princess, the territory must develop quickly, and 2,000 Oger is far from enough to be used as the starting capital for the island.

The more money the better. Even if it means dancing with death, we cannot stop making money.

Selena didn't know what Rosen was planning, and she became more and more confused.

"Warehouse area? High-quality magic materials? Shouldn't we buy them at the material store?"

"My lady, I know you are very curious, but don't worry, I will tell you the answer step by step."
