An unnamed warehouse in the harbor area.

Selena was quite tall, over 1.7 meters, but she was still easily embraced by Rosen behind her.

She was continuing to use her powerful high-level magic power to condense the energy for transformation: "Rosen, you are really big and hard all over. You look more like a warrior than a wizard."

Rosen was using Lai Fu to guide the material in his hand to transform, and he replied with a smile.

"This was passed down to me by my father. In my memory, my father was a big guy."

"Of course, this is also related to the careful care of my tutor, Mrs. Agnet. Although I was unable to pay the tuition, my tutor never treated me harshly in terms of diet."

There was one thing he didn't say, which was that he had developed a life spell that strengthened the body and kept it fixed on the body.

Speaking of Lady Agnet, Selena felt her cheeks getting hot.

Because she actually became the wife of the other party's apprentice, and after only one day of contact, she was held in such an intimate posture by the other party.

Although the reason was legitimate and she did not object, it could not change the facts.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she had to change the subject: "Anna is indeed a good person, but it's a pity that she found a short-lived husband."

Anna's original name was Anna Robert. After marrying Sir Agnet, a senior wizard in Dawn City, she became Lady Agnet.

Unfortunately, seven years ago, when Sir Agnet visited the Kingdom of Aaron as an envoy, he was accidentally involved in a duel among nobles.

As a result, he lost the duel and was stabbed in the stomach by his opponent and died on the spot.

So, Rosen's mentor became a widow.

Rosen also felt very emotional about this. He remembered that his mentor cried every day during that period and it took him a full month to recover.

"Fortunately, the instructor managed to pull through."

"No, she didn't. She just tried not to remember. Is the staff almost ready?"

Selena saw that the staff in her hand had basically taken shape.

"It's just a little bit short. It's a bit too eye-catching. This staff looks ordinary, but its performance is definitely worthy of the evaluation of 'excellent'."

Not long after these words were spoken, the staff took shape completely.

The main materials of the staff are hardened mithril, azure corundum and tough magic steel, which correspond to the three advanced alchemical formulas derived by Rosen.

Three high-grade materials, plus some auxiliary materials, were perfectly integrated into one through Rosen's transformation alchemy, and finally formed a 60-centimeter-long inverted cone-shaped staff with a large head and a small tail.

At first glance, the staff looked rather ordinary, similar to the ordinary staffs sold in magic weapon shops.

But if you look closely, you will find that this staff is extremely finely made, feels extremely soft to hold, has just the right weight, and exudes a flawless, pure beauty.

And when magic power is injected into it, the extremely complex azure corundum in the staff will emit a layer of fine, hazy, and cold light, showing the unique aura of a powerful staff.

Selena examined it over and over again, and the more she looked, the more surprised she was.

"Rosen, your weapon refining skills are really amazing!"

Rosen looked humble.

"I have made some achievements in refining weapons, but the reason why I was able to create this staff was mainly due to the powerful magic power provided by Your Highness."

"If I rely on myself, I can only create some low-level magical instruments with ordinary performance."

Having said that, the performance of this staff is indeed quite outstanding.

Most importantly, it was tailor-made for Serena’s situation.

Because every mage is different.

A well-handled staff can multiply a mage's power. If it is not well-handled, it is just like a firewood stick.

For example, Selena's mana strength is at the advanced peak.

Because of the rule of 'focus does not break the number of rings' in refining equipment, the 'focus' attribute that increases mana strength is basically of no help to her.

Also, because her mana is extremely strong, the total amount of mana is nearly 50% more than that of the average high-level peak mage, so she has no urgent need for attributes such as 'resonance' and 'energy conduction' to increase endurance.

Her weakness is her control over spells.

Therefore, the attributes of 'concentration', 'mana purification', 'stable energy' and so on, which enhance control, greatly improve her.

Finally, you can't just attach any attribute you want. You also have to consider the limitations of material properties and refining rules.

There are a lot of equipment refining details such as 'resonance enhancement', 'ring number constraint', 'turbulence suppression', 'back pressure control', etc., which are so cumbersome that it makes people scratch their heads.

In short, tailor-made a staff that satisfies the wizard is as difficult as dancing with countless shackles to amaze the audience.

At this moment, Selena suddenly screamed again.

"Ah~ There is actually an advanced arcane lattice!"

The surprise on her face turned into shock.

"Rosen, this is confidential knowledge of refining equipment. Where did you learn it from?!"

Lattice, full name is 'magic energy storage crystal grid'.

This means that the mana is converted into specific spell energy in advance and stored in the staff, and then released directly when needed to achieve a casting speed close to instantaneous.

Low-level and mid-level lattices are not rare, nor are they very important.

Because after hard training and with some spellcasting techniques, the mage can cast most low- and medium-level spells almost instantly.

But not at the advanced level.

No matter how you train or what techniques you use, you will need a casting time of at least 1 second.

Similarly, the difficulty of creating advanced crystal lattices is also very high, and it is one of the most cutting-edge refining knowledge in the magic world.

Because of its enormous power, it is also the most valued knowledge by all noble lords and magic schools.

Any results will be kept secret and never leaked.

Currently in the Principality of Vilan, only the Adrian family possesses some advanced lattice knowledge, which cannot be learned anywhere else.

Rosen remained calm in response to the princess's words.

"Of course I figured it out myself, but there is only this one kind."

Selena was still shocked: "There is only one. The entire Weilan magic world only knows three."

She once again improved her evaluation of Rosen in her heart: "I didn't expect that this guy is actually an outstanding weapon refiner."

There was no sign of satisfaction on Rosen's face.

"Madam, advanced crystal lattices are already outdated knowledge of refining equipment."

"As far as I know, the three major magic kingdoms of Aaron, Kao, and Levender have already developed four-ring crystal lattices, which are the real good stuff."

This made Serena a little frustrated: "Well, Weilan is indeed far behind."

"But no matter what, this is a very powerful staff."

With this staff, the anxiety that had always existed in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she greatly restored her confidence as a high-level wizard.

She commented finally.

Rosen smiled and said, “Madam, please give it a name.”

Serena thought for a moment and shook her head: "You are the real creator of the staff, you start."

"Then call it 'Sleeping Beauty'."

Selena was very satisfied: "What a good name, let's call her Sleeping Beauty."

Then he added: "You also need a staff, let's continue."

"As you wish, ma'am."

The two continued to work together to create a new staff.

With the help of Sleeping Beauty's staff, Selena's spellcasting became more handy, and the transformation energy she stimulated became purer and calmer.

Rosen had already thought about the performance and appearance of the staff.

As a result, the construction progress was greatly accelerated.

About an hour later, the second staff was completed.

Its form is that of a sword.

The materials used are exactly the same as those of the 'Sleeper', but because the user is a low-level wizard, the performance of its spells is much simpler.

There is only one 'Low-level Focus' that can focus Rosen's mana strength from the low-level early and middle stages to the low-level middle and late stages.

In addition, the main body of the sword is made of a large amount of high-strength tough magic steel and has a cutting edge.

So, it's very heavy, very strong, and very sharp.

Selena commented: "This is more like a knight's sword than a magic sword."

Rosen smiled and said, "I'm big and strong, and the tough magic steel is strong enough. If my magic power is exhausted, I can still wield it as a sword."

Selena shrugged: "I hope there will be no such opportunity."

Then he asked, "What is the name of your sword?"

Rosen had already thought of it: "Let's call it 'Sword of the Guardian Knight'."

Selena was startled when she heard this: "Sleeping Beauty and the Guardian Knight?"

Her cheeks began to heat up again.

Immediately change the subject: "My mana is running out and daybreak is almost here. What should we do next?"

Rosen turned his head and looked at the ventilation window above the warehouse. The sky was already slightly brightening, probably around four in the morning.

In other words, the two of them were busy in this warehouse all night.

Surprisingly, facing such high-intensity refining work, although Selena looked exhausted, she persisted and never complained of being tired from beginning to end.

This surprised Rosen a little.

He originally thought that she was a wealthy lady who was delicate and could not endure hardship, but now it seems that he underestimated her.

He thought to himself: "I heard from my teacher before that this princess has been working hard to learn magic, and I thought it was just a boast between good friends. Now it seems that she is really working hard. "

Because he had already seen that although the princess's talent in magic was outstanding, she was still some distance away from being a top genius. To be able to reach the peak of the advanced level at such a young age, she must have worked very hard.

The reason why she did this was probably because of the Duke's oath, which can fully explain why she was so angry when the Duke broke his oath.

For a moment, Rosen felt a little sympathetic, thinking that Selena, Princess Veran, was living a hard life and was not as happy as him.

So he asked gently: "Madam, learning magic over the years must be tiring, right?"

Selena was startled, and after staring at Rosen for a few seconds, she frowned slightly: "Are you feeling sorry for me? That's not necessary!"

Rosen shook his head: "No, I understand you, because we are all people whose destinies are arranged by others."

"I am my father's only son. I am destined to go to that desolate island. I study hard for this. And you, the princess of Weilan Island, are destined to marry someone you don't like for the sake of your family."

Selena listened in silence, her expression gradually softening.

She sighed softly.

"Anna told me that she actually wanted to persuade you to give up many times, but every time she found you, you were either reading a book, in a magic laboratory, or practicing magic, so she was unable to say it out loud every time."

"I originally thought it was just a joke, but now that I hear you say it, I realize that your life is much harder than mine."

"After all, I am a princess. Others respect and fear me, but you are always alone and have to endure countless ridicules."

Speaking of this, the eyes of this perhaps the most noble woman in all of Weilan turned slightly red, and she asked softly.

"Do you think we can really control our own destiny?"

Rosen smiled and replied calmly: "I don't know. But since Your Highness has chosen to sleep beside me, I will guard you with my sword."

Selena's cheeks, which had just returned to normal, turned red again.

After a long silence, she finally said, "Rosen, I believe in your determination, but I'm worried that I will get you into trouble."

After a pause, she asked, "When are you going to take me away from Dawn City?"

Rosen had already thought about it: "The Duke said we will leave within three days. Today is the second day, so we will leave tomorrow morning."

"Is it too slow? I now believe in your ability to hide. But for some reason, I feel a little nervous and worried that unexpected troubles may occur."

If she followed Rosen and left Dawn Castle on impulse at the beginning, now she really wanted to go back to White Sturgeon Island with the man she loved.

Because with his abilities, he would definitely not live in hardship, and he was so handsome, he was simply the most perfect husband in the world.

Rosen could naturally feel Selena's changes, and this was exactly why he showed his ability.

Seeing her worry, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Madam, you are too late to realize it. With someone like you, you won't survive half an episode of the palace drama on Earth."

Last night, there were hundreds of Aaron Night Guards outside, looking for them like crazy, as if they were going to dig up the ground in Dawn City.

Of course, these were all trivial matters and there was no need to tell Selena for the time being.

He consoled her, "Ma'am, no matter how much trouble there is, it can't be found on the Master of Transfiguration, right?"

Selena felt relieved: "That's true, but I still suggest you leave as soon as possible."

Rosen smiled and said, "I'll be there as soon as possible, but I have some things to do in Dawn City."

According to his original plan, he not only wanted to make money, but also recruit some talents.

A commander without troops alone cannot be a good lord.

"Besides, we were busy all night last night, so we need to find a place to rest. Why not go to the Blue Whale Mansion to rest?"

"Blue Whale Mansion, this is the best hotel in the harbor area, the price is very expensive."

"That's why you deserve to be my lady."
