A noble carriage with a maple leaf flag slowly drove away from the Blue Whale Mansion.

In the carriage, Rosen and Selena sat side by side on one side, and Mrs. Agnet sat alone on the other side.

Rosen's expression was as calm as ever, but the two girls' cheeks were a little red and their eyes were flickering.

The silence in the car continued, with a faint sense of awkwardness lingering in the air.

"Hmm~"

Mrs. Agnet coughed lightly, breaking the long silence.

"Since the Duke has banned trade between the White Sturgeon Island and the counties of Veran, the bank deposit certificate of the Dawn Bank is of no use to you."

"Go to my place first. I will exchange all your savings certificates for cash and take them away."

Rosen was thinking this, and immediately said, "Teacher, thank you very much for your help. I just happen to have some money now, so I'll pay off your debt."

Madame Agnet shook her head.

"No, you are in need of money right now. I am your elder, so consider this money as my betrothal gift."

"Tell others that I am generous to my apprentice as a mentor. Even if the Duke knew, he wouldn't say much. After all, he needs my brother's support."

Rosen did not refuse and assured again: "Teacher, Selena and I will do our best to develop the White Sturgeon Island. If you need our help in the future, just ask and we will do our best to help."

Selena nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Mrs. Agnet smiled and shook her head: "Rosen, don't brag."

"Selena doesn't know about the White Pelican Island, but I do. After all, there is only a shallow and narrow strait between the White Pelican Island and the Shire County."

"The total number of residents on the White Sturgeon Island is less than 30,000, and there are so many problems. It's very difficult to live a good life. There is no need to set too high a goal for yourself."

"Rosen, don't refute me. It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but I don't want Selena to suffer with you. Do you understand?"

Rosen immediately assured: "Teacher, I will never let Your Highness suffer."

"I believe that."

Madam Aignite nodded with relief: "Selena may be lacking materially if she follows you, but as both of you are mages, you will never be lonely spiritually. Your body is also strong enough, and you can easily make her a happy woman."

When Serena heard this, her cheeks flushed with shame. She complained in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "Anna, Rosen is too strong. I almost fainted last night~"

Mrs. Agnet heard it clearly and smiled, "Just be content. Many girls want to faint but don't have the chance."

After a while, the carriage arrived at the noble area.

At the Blue Manor, Mrs. Agnet exchanged more than 20,000 bank certificates of deposit into thousands of ordinary gold coins, plus dozens of gold coins used for large-value settlements, which just filled up a portable cash box.

Afterwards, the carriage carried the three people to the Great Temple of Saint Veran in the temple area.

In the temple, the high priest Lai Li personally presided over the formal wedding for Rosen and Selena.

It is worth mentioning that the high priest was originally reluctant.

Because he didn't want to offend the Duke, but Selena threatened to find out his little boy, forcing him to compromise.

After the simple wedding, the carriage drove out of the north gate of the city.

According to the route plan, Rosen and Selena will head north along the wide road between county towns.

On the way, we passed through Hongyuan County, arrived at Xiaer County, and then went to Xiaer County’s capital, Xialin City.

Departing from Xialin Suijin Wharf, take a boat across the Fengxi Strait and finally arrive at the Hongyou Island.

The land route is about 500 kilometers and the sea route is more than 60 kilometers. At a normal speed, the journey takes about half a month.

The carriage drove through the suburbs for a while before seeing an inn on the roadside ahead. The inn's doorplate was made in the shape of a cat. It was the Wild Cat Inn, a resting place for travelers.

A rather high-end four-wheeled carriage was parked in the open space in front of the hotel.

The carriage was full of luggage, and two people were sitting on the left and right of the coachman's seat.

Rosen immediately said, "Master, the carriage in front is the one I bought on credit. The ones sitting in the carriage are my servants, whom you know. One is called Alia and the other is called Stonard."

Of course Madame Agnet knew him.

In fact, she had watched the two servants grow up. When they first met, they were young children like Rosen. At that time, she was only 18 years old and one of the youngest senior wizards on Weilan Island.

Mrs. Agnet felt sad when she thought that the little boy had grown up and she herself was getting old.

But this gloom was soon replaced by a secret expectation.

She quietly reached into her pocket and tightly grasped a worn parchment scroll.

This was the guidance on practice that the sage Levin quietly gave her. She tried it carefully last night and found that her magic power, which had been stagnant for a long time, had increased again.

"It is said that the sage can see the secrets of the magic ring. Now it seems that it is true!"

"I also hope that I can be blessed by Mother Nature and successfully break through to the realm of a four-ring master before I turn 30."

After breaking through to the master level, power and status will increase greatly, while the aging rate of the body will be greatly reduced, resulting in a significant extension of the natural lifespan and extending youth by at least 30 years.

Of course, it is useless to rely on fantasies. We must move forward step by step.

Mrs. Agnet quickly came back to her senses and smiled, "This carriage doesn't look cheap. It seems you have prepared it in advance."

"It was a temporary replacement. The original one was much smaller and worse. Fortunately, I became the victorious chess king."

Madam Aignite nodded: "It seems that Serena will not be too short of material things if she follows you. I am completely relieved."

It only takes a few hours by boat from Suijin Wharf to Sturgeon Island.

Selena was very happy: "Anna, I'm looking forward to it now~"

Before getting off the car, Mrs. Agnet gave Selena another hug, looked at Rosen again, hesitated, and finally gave him a hug as well.

Rosen hugged back vigorously and whispered his sincere thanks.

"Teacher, I will always remember everything you did to rescue me!"

The more than one thousand mages who came out to support them last night would not have appeared out of thin air in the Garden Square.

That was all done by Madam Agnet, who used her influence in the magic world to persuade one person after another.

Mrs. Agnet glanced at Rosen's profile and whispered, "Rosen, I guess you are stronger than anyone thinks, right?"

Without waiting for Rosen's answer, she continued to whisper.

"You must be wondering how I know that."

"Actually, I don't have any evidence. It's just my feeling."

"I don't believe that a young man who can suppress Sarath with just his spellcasting skills, a young man regarded as a close friend by the sage, would be just a low-level mage."

"So I'm very curious, how far have you progressed in your practice?"

Rosen felt that the hug time was almost up, so he let go of the mentor: "Teacher, I really only have low-level mid-level mana."

"It's because my magic power has not improved that I have to improve my combat ability through spellcasting techniques. After all, my White Sturgeon Island is not peaceful."

When Serena heard this, she immediately endorsed Rosen: "Anna, I once had the same suspicion as you, but believe me, Rosen's magic power is really low."

Mrs. Agnet had a noncommittal expression on her face.

She tilted her head slightly, and her clear violet eyes looked into Rosen's eyes without blinking.

Rosen felt a little uneasy when she looked at him, but fortunately he was very determined and was not worried about this level of temptation at all, so he looked at her calmly.

After a few seconds, Mrs. Agnet smiled softly and said, "Okay, I believe it."

As soon as Rosen heard it, he knew that she still didn't believe it, but she had no evidence, so it didn't matter.

Mrs. Agnet did not continue to pester him. She got back into the carriage and gave serious instructions before leaving.

"When you pass through the Shire County, don't forget to visit my brother. Although we can't trade with each other on the surface, I can always provide you with some help in secret."

"I will, Master."

After watching the mentor's carriage leave, Rosen took Selena's arm and slowly walked towards the traveling carriage.

Arya and Stonard came over immediately, calling her "sir" and "madam".

Rosen smiled and nodded in response, and then earnestly instructed: "Shitou, Ellie, this is my wife, Princess Selena."

"From today on, you must respect the lady as much as you respect me, and trust the lady as much as you trust me."

"You must also follow Madam's orders without hesitation."

Hearing this, Stonard immediately asked seriously: "Master, what if you and your wife have a disagreement and issue completely opposite orders to us?"

"Puff~"

Selena laughed, then turned to look at Rosen to see how he would solve this problem.

Rosen coughed lightly and said seriously, "This situation does exist objectively, but I will try my best to avoid it."

"But if it does happen, then you should remain neutral and don't follow anyone's orders. Wait patiently for my wife and I to reach a consensus."

Stonard immediately asked, "What if we still can't reach a consensus?"

He is worthy of being a wizard taught by Rosen himself. He has a very rigorous mindset and will not give up until he gets to the bottom of things.

Rosen also replied strictly: "Then always remain neutral."

"Understood, sir."

Selena is also a mage, and she likes this kind of clear attitude the most, rather than vague and roundabout ways. She is very satisfied with this result.

Rosen got down to business again: "The three talents we recruited are now in the hotel, right?"

"Yes, sir, they are waiting for you at the hotel."

Rosen took Selena's arm and walked towards the inn, briefly explaining the situation to her in a whisper as they walked.

He finally said: "I haven't been back to the White Sturgeon Island for ten years. I was only a 10-year-old child when I left. Now my father died unexpectedly, so I know almost nothing about the latest situation of the White Sturgeon Island."

In the past, his father would write him a letter every month, giving him a brief introduction to the situation at home and in the territory, but now he has not done so for more than two months.

"Therefore, if we want to truly control the White Sturgeon Island, we must have a group of trustworthy and capable people around us."

"I think these three are good, but I need Madam to help me check their details."

Serena was happy and felt respected by her husband, and her brother was a complete jerk in that regard.

So she nodded and smiled: "I have to take a closer look."
