night.

The superior guest rooms on the third floor of Blue Whale Mansion.

Selena and Mrs. Agnet were sitting face to face on chairs in the living room, while Rosen insisted on standing behind Selena.

It was both out of respect and also because his butt was numb from sitting on the roof all night.

"With the protection of Sage Levin, the Aaron people will not trouble you for the time being."

Mrs. Agnet said so.

She was still a little dazed, her mind still immersed in the exciting power of unity from before.

Serena nodded slightly, but also a little worried: "Anna, do you think Danger will deal with Sage Levin?"

Madame Agnet shook her head.

"I definitely have the idea, but I doubt if he has the guts to do it."

"After all, the sage is not interested in money, women, or even power. He is a pure mage."

"Such a sage is the most terrifying, because he has no constraints. Once he is angered, he can do anything."

Serena felt relieved and full of emotion when she heard this: "Sage Levin is a hero. I respect him, I am grateful to him, and I am very glad that such a hero exists in Veran."

Mrs. Agnet agreed: "That's right."

The two high-level female mages sighed for a long time before finally turning their attention to Rosen.

"Selena, now that you are free, why do you insist on marrying my apprentice?"

Selena looked shy and she held Rosen's hand.

“Because we agreed to develop the White Sturgeon Island together.”

Mrs. Agnet was very surprised: "Well, it seems that you really like Rosen. This is normal. After all, my apprentice is really good-looking."

"But Rosen, are you hiding something from me?"

Rosen knew early on that his mentor was in the Harbor District, and he also knew early on that they would meet again, so naturally he had already prepared an excuse.

At this time, he looked 'awkward': "Teacher, in fact, I have mastered all the knowledge that a formal mage should master two years ago."

"The reason for the two-year delay is that your magic laboratory is well-equipped, your library has a large collection of books, and you offer a 40% discount to apprentices."

"I was very short of money and wanted to acquire more knowledge, so I concealed my progress."

"I apologize and am willing to compensate you for your losses."

Mrs. Agnet blinked, but she didn't feel very angry. After all, she was not short of money, and she was very satisfied with Rosen's performance tonight.

But as a mentor, you must find faults in your apprentice to prevent him or her from becoming complacent, even if he or she has already graduated.

So, she pointed out seriously: "Since you are willing to risk your life to protect Serena, I won't mind the concealment."

"But even so, it still took you eight years to graduate, which is still a very mediocre result."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Selena's suppressed low laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Serena coughed lightly to stop laughing: "Maybe he is mediocre in other aspects, but when it comes to winning chess, he is definitely a top genius."

Mrs. Agnet's cheeks immediately turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she quickly adjusted her mindset: "Although I am not good at playing Victory Chess, I am the mentor of the Victory Chess King, right?"

"Well, Anna, you're absolutely right."

After saying this, Selena's expression suddenly became serious.

"Anna, I'm completely disappointed in Ryder."

"He has completely turned into a cold-blooded duke, with only calculations in his mind, and everyone else, including me, is just a pawn in his hands."

"This is the kind of person I hate the most. Even if he is my blood relative, I will stay away from him!"

"So, I have to go to White Pelican Island."

Mrs. Agnet understood, stood up and sat beside Selena, gently grasping her other hand: "I will write to my brother and ask him to find a way to support you."

Hearing this, Rosen sighed inwardly: "The mentor is really kind-hearted. He always underestimates the darkness in the world."

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Serena smile bitterly: "Anna, I can't cause you any more trouble, because I have completely seen through Reid."

"He doesn't have much ability, but his desire for control is terrifyingly strong. Rosen and I have greatly challenged his authority. He must hate us now, and even hates Sage Levin."

"Just wait and see. He will soon issue a decree to block the twenty-five counties of Weilan from trading with the White Sturgeon Island, thus completely isolating us."

This surprised Mrs. Agnet a little, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was not impossible.

She was suddenly speechless.

Rosen at the side looked at Serena with new eyes: "Hey~ Although my princess wife is a little slow to react and easily gets carried away, she is still very clear and she was not wrong about the Duke at all."

He was now very satisfied with Selena's performance.

Selena didn't know what Rosen was thinking, so she comforted Mrs. Agnet instead.

"Anna, don't worry about me. The area of ​​​​Beluga Island is not small, and there are many troubles. It is enough for Rosen and I to toss for a long time."

"You know, I have always been a person who can't sit still and loves to make trouble."

Mrs. Agnet's mood improved a little: "No matter what, you must write to me often. I will come to visit you whenever I am free."

"I will never forget it, Anna. After all, you are my only good friend. If I don't write to you, I don't know who to tell my feelings to."

Seeing the two women chattering endlessly, Rosen still had some things to deal with.

He suggested, "Madam, mentor, it's getting late. Why don't you go to the bedroom and have a girlfriends' night, just like before?"

The two girls were indeed very moved.

Mrs. Agnet smiled and asked, "Rosen, what about you?"

"I can sleep next door, or I can sleep in the living room, like I have been doing for the past two days."

Selena's cheeks flushed slightly. Although she had become Rosen's wife without knowing why, and had decided to spend the rest of her life with him, she was not yet ready to live together.

I was a little nervous about what was about to happen, and my friend had all experienced it, so I wanted to ask him quietly.

Now Rosen's idea is very good.

She said, "Rosen, you should go to the next room to rest, so as to avoid gossip and affect Anna's reputation. After all, we are not short of money now."

"As you wish, ma'am."

Selena pulled Mrs. Agnet to the bedroom again: "Come on, Anna, I have a lot of secrets to tell you."

After the two women entered the bedroom, Rosen turned around and walked out.

With the help of several black-clad guards guarding the door, he soon slept in the bedroom next door.

After closing his eyes, he did not practice, but whispered in his mind: "Laifu, has No. 1 arrived at the designated location?"

Got a response very quickly.

"Number 1 is in place."

"Very good. Always be prepared and ready to follow orders."

The so-called No. 1 is actually the wandering sage Levin.

Its true identity is a combat puppet that Rosen spent a lot of effort to create.

Over the past ten years, he has trained Lai Fu to develop four unique abilities.

The first "Rosen Meditations" endowed him with powerful magical powers.

The subsequent "Transfiguration" gave him nearly perfect camouflage abilities and unique alchemy.

The third one, "Puppetry", gave him an external substitute, which greatly improved his ability to collect training data.

The final "Heart of the God of War" gives him the force to protect his own life, and most of his combat data is obtained through "Puppetry".

These four supreme abilities complement each other, and when combined together they form the ultimate masterpiece, which is the Sage Levin.

Of course, there is no such thing as a perfect spell.

Although Levin's abilities are extremely powerful, he also has many limitations.

For example, the maximum remote control distance cannot exceed 50 kilometers. When operating at full power, it will occupy nearly a quarter of Laifu's computing power, and it also requires regular charging and maintenance.

In short, it is very troublesome to use.

Back to the topic.

Seeing that No. 1 was in position, Rosen issued another order to Lai Fu: "Turn on No. 1's Detection Guard."

There was a slight light in front of my eyes, and a huge screen appeared, showing the current situation in the Duke's study.

The black-robed wizard described in detail and objectively what happened in the Garden Square.

At first glance, he looked like an emotionless robot, but his subconsciously clenched fists revealed his nervous heart.

The Duke listened carefully.

A storm was gathering on his face.

When Master Ander finished telling all the details of the incident, he confirmed in a deep voice: "So, Selena would rather die than give up the little baron?"

"Judging from the princess's performance, that's right."

"Crack!"

The Duke crushed the enamel cup in his hand, and sharp powder mixed with scarlet blood flowed down from between his fingers.

Ander wanted to go forward to stop the bleeding, but was stopped by him.

He let the blood flow, and lightning flashed on his face.

"I was wondering why she was suddenly willing to marry the Baron. It turns out she had been eyeing him for a long time!"

"The sinister wandering sage, the poor and ugly bird shit baron, and my well-behaved sister since childhood, are teaming up to oppose me!"

"These people have no idea how powerful Aaron is! They have no idea how hard it is for me to maintain the current situation!"

"Selena, since you like mixing in the mud, then you can stay in it forever!"

Then the Duke shouted to Ander, "Help me draft the announcement."

"Yes, Duke."

After Ander got the paper and pen, the Duke began to read in a deep voice.

"Selena Adrian, you disregarded the interests of your family and the principality and acted recklessly. You are no longer worthy of being the Princess of Dawn of Veran, nor are you worthy of being the wife of Baron Rosen Saxon."

"Selena is still exiled to the White Sturgeon Island. She is not allowed to leave the island for the rest of her life, and her engagement with the Baron is cancelled."

"This will be supervised and implemented by the Baron himself."

"Also, the Baron can choose any woman he likes to marry, except Selena. If he disobeys, Selena will be imprisoned and the Baron will be stripped of his title."

"Finally, any trade between Weilan Twenty-Five Counties and White Sturgeon Island is strictly prohibited, not even the trading of bird droppings!"

At this point, the Duke showed a cold smile on his face.

"Okay, you must deliver this notice to the Cabinet Council now and have them pass it overnight. It must be posted on every notice board in Dawn City before the sun rises tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

Ander's face remained calm because he was used to it.

Seeing this, Rosen secretly commented: "The Duke is really furious."

What to do? Of course, do it now.

Rosen had an idea: "Laifu, let No. 1 carry out the backup plan and give our Grand Duke a surprise!"

"The backup plan is being implemented."

Rosen immediately checked the images of the Duke's study.

In the video, the Duke was grinning and sneering, seeming very proud of his bad idea, and Wizard Ander was about to turn around to make an announcement.

Suddenly, there was a flash of strong light outside the study window, which was the sound of the castle's defensive formation being forcibly broken.

Almost at the same time, the exquisite carved glass shattered with a bang, and a black shadow rushed towards the Duke behind the desk at an extremely fast speed.

The incident happened so quickly that the Duke had no time to react and was hit by the black shadow!

"Buzz~"

A large amount of rune light and shadow appeared on the surface of his body, which triggered the lattice magic weapon "Doom-Blocking Barrier", and its strength reached the peak of the 4th ring.

The Weilan magic world cannot produce such good things, so they must have been bought from the Witt continent at a high price.

"Puff~"

The black shadow was blocked, bounced out and landed on the carpet. It turned out to be a dark silver metal sphere.

Only then did the Duke come to his senses. He jumped up like a rabbit, hid in the corner and squatted, roaring in fear.

"What's going on?! Why isn't the castle's defense barrier working? Who did this?!"

Like a frightened little girl.

Master Ander immediately squatted behind the wall and waited for a while. Seeing no further movement, he carefully picked up the metal ball on the ground with his master's hand.

After taking a look, he immediately said, "Duke, there are words on the ball."

"What word?"

"It says 'Strength comes from family unity, from the Duke - Wanderer Levin'"

The Duke was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did Levin do it? Why didn't the guard tower respond?"

Ender turned and looked closely at the break in the window, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Duke, Levin should have been standing far away, using the fifth ring of mana to cast a throwing spell and forcefully threw this thing over here."

"Extremely far. How far?"

“It could be a kilometre, maybe even further.”

After a pause, Ander said softly: "Master, the sage once said that he would protect the princess, so what he said just now should be a warning."

The Duke's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Starting tomorrow, additional sentries will be set up within one thousand meters, no, two thousand meters around the castle. Multi-layered defense arrays will also be set up outside the study. The strength will be doubled, no, tripled compared to the current level!"

"Also, I want to change the study room, and all the guards in the study room will be replaced!"

"Yes, Duke."

"Also, please revise the previous announcement."

After a few seconds of silence, the Duke said in a very unwilling tone:

"Selena is still the Princess of Dawn. I agree that she can marry the Baron, but I forbid her from leaving the White Sturgeon Island, and I also forbid the White Sturgeon Island from engaging in commercial trade with the counties."

"She can be willful, but I must give an explanation to King Danger."

"Yes, Duke."

The Duke was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Is there any way to kill this Levin?"

This time, Master Ander remained silent for ten seconds before answering.

"Unless Levin is stupid enough to confront the army head-on, there is no way to guarantee his death."

"And once you do it, but don't kill him, then..."

The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but the Duke certainly understood it. From now on, he would have to be on guard against an assassination by a sage at all times.

That would be a hard day.

"How long do you think he can live?"

Since we can't afford to offend them, we can only endure and see who survives longer.

"The aging rate of the sage has slowed down significantly. Levin is probably in his early sixties. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to live to over 120 years old."

"In addition, he may very well be able to touch the sixth ring and become a magic saint in the future. He may even live to be 200 years old. And if he studies life magic, then it's even harder to say. He may even live to be over 500 years old."

The Duke was greatly unbalanced: "Just relying on him, he is still a magic saint?!"

If he really becomes a Dharma Saint, not only can he suppress him for his entire life, but when he dies of old age, that guy can continue to suppress his son, grandson, and even great-grandson.

Then what's the point of being Duke of Weilan? The Duke was extremely unhappy and even very jealous.

Mage Ande sighed softly: "Your Excellency the Duke, Levin is an extremely pure mage. Such a person is most likely to be promoted to the Saint Realm."

"Damn you, wanderer! Damn you to hell!"

The young and strong Duke cursed under his breath.

At the same time, Rosen grinned: "I can't scare you to death, hehe."

While feeling happy, he sighed softly: "The power of mortals has its limits~"

Because of the unknown, the king is in awe of those who practice strong cultivation.

Because of knowledge, powerful practitioners are also afraid of royal power.

"So, it is still the most satisfying for the powerful cultivators who hold the kingship."
