Eventually, the Earl came to some secret agreement with the Wizards' Guild of the Shire.

As the Baron of White Sturgeon Island, Rosen had no subordinate relationship with the Earl and was at most a helper. He was not invited to participate in the secret talks and naturally had no way of knowing the specific content of the agreement.

At least on the surface, he didn't know.

The Count was delighted when the agreement was reached.

He added 10 magical advisory seats in the Earl's Palace, reserved for civilian mages who had made outstanding contributions.

This accounts for 20% of all advisory seats.

He also opened a civilian magic academy in Xialin City and set up a total of 200 magic teaching positions.

The estimated cost of the above is 30,000 Ogg per year.

Then, the Earl spent another 30,000 Oggs to hold a gorgeous ball in the Starlight Hall in the outer courtyard of Maple Leaf Castle, and invited celebrities from all over the city to attend.

At this moment, Rosen is at the dance.

He was also very happy because his trip was not in vain.

The Earl not only covered all the military expenses of the Flame Legion, but also generously gave him a full 20,000 Ogers as a reward for this incident.

This shows how generous the compensation from the Mage Guild is.

The party was lively, with countless people dancing in the pool.

But Rosen had no interest in dancing, so he sat in the corner and drank alone.

I thought my wife Selena would like this lively atmosphere, but she found it too noisy.

After showing up on the dance floor for a while and dancing with Rosen, he went to the inner hall with the Countess to chat with a group of noble ladies.

He thought he would spend a boring night, but he didn't expect that after less than half an hour, he saw a maid walking towards him.

Rosen recognized the other person as Martha, the Countess's personal maid.

"Baron, my lady asks you to go to the inner hall. She has something important to discuss."

Rosen was startled: "Now? Isn't it inconvenient?"

The inner hall was where the ladies gathered, and it would have a bad impact if a man like him went in there.

Martha whispered, "It's really not very convenient, so Madam hopes that you can change your appearance, such as becoming my appearance, and let me become your appearance and stay in the hall in your place."

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he quickly checked the sporadic information sent back by the "Detection Guard", and he guessed the Countess's intention.

He nodded in agreement: "No problem, just do as Madam says."

The two came to a corner where no one noticed them, and after waiting for a while, Rosen borrowed the appearance of 'Martha' and walked into the inner hall.

The inner hall was on the second floor of the Starlight Hall. After walking up the stairs covered with dark red velvet carpets, one soon arrived at a small door reserved for servants.

Pushing the door open, there is a spacious semi-open warm room.

One side of the warm-up room has a semicircular outer wall, and the other side faces the dance floor on the first floor, similar to a large viewing box.

At this moment, the curtain in the direction of the dance floor was lowered, and a layer of arcane barrier was set up in front of the curtain, completely blocking the view and noise in the direction of the dance floor.

Rosen quickly glanced around the warm hall and found that there were sixteen noble ladies sitting in the hall, ranging in age from early twenties to early forties.

Judging from the quality of their clothes, jewelry, and defensive instruments, they all came from wealthy families.

Considering that this was a gathering organized by the Countess, it was most likely a gathering of the top noble ladies in the entire Xialin City.

Moreover, their husbands should all belong to the Earl faction.

When the Countess saw Rosen in Martha's appearance, she smiled and asked, "Baron, is that you?"

Rosen went through the motions, curtseyed, and replied in a magically altered female voice: "It's me, ma'am."

The countess pointed at Rosen and said to the noble ladies present: "Sisters who have suffered from the neglect of their husbands, the magical wizard who will save you is here~"

After the lady said this, all the ladies present looked at Rosen with curious and eager eyes.

After watching for a while, this group of married ladies started talking at once.

"Ma'am, is it really that good?"

“Will it affect your health?”

"Baron, here is a piece of wood. How about you try to make one in my image?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's change to another one and see. If it turns out good, I'll change."

As the noblewoman spoke, Serena's mental whispers reached her ears.

"The Countess specially invited them here. They envy your new appearance and hope to have a beautiful body themselves."

"It's not in vain, Madam said. She agreed to start at 300 ogres. This price is already five times the average price of transformation in the Shire."

"But the exact transaction price depends on our own ability."

Rosen exclaimed in amazement: "There is such a good thing. We are short of money. We must make a lot of money tonight."

Although the Earl just gave him 20,000, who would complain that the money was too much? Selena chuckled, "It all depends on your ability."

So, Rosen took a step forward, took the wood, and looked at the ugliest and fattest noblewoman, and said to himself, "Laifu, optimize the image ~ optimize ten samples."

A few minutes later, Lai Fu finished his work.

Rosen chose one and applied it to the wood: "Madam, how do you think this is?"

This ugly lady had always felt inferior about her appearance, especially her oversized mouth and oversized eyes. She was once secretly called "the big turtle in the Wind's Rest Strait" by her servants.

But at this moment, after being modified by Rosen, although the overall facial features did not change, they became very coordinated, revealing a wild and cold beauty.

She was immediately won over and applauded: "Great change! Really great! That's what I want!"

Rosen smiled slightly, and as soon as he thought about it, he output three samples in succession, each of which lasted for 10 seconds.

"Are you sure, ma'am?"

The ugly lady hesitated for a moment.

Because every shape looks great, and the best part is, they're all just small, clever modifications.

She is still her, but a more perfect her.

While she was hesitating, Rosen turned and looked at the ladies.

"Secondly, I can provide many different transformation samples for you to choose from."

"As for the price, it's just like what the Countess said. Just changing the face will cost 300 Ogg. Changing the body will cost another 300 Ogg."

"If you want to modify everything, including the internal parts, because this is my unique ability, then it will be more expensive, an additional 500 Ogg."

"Finally, if you need advanced permanence techniques, you can ask my wife for help."

"I know the market price of high-level permanence is 300 Ogg, but my wife is a master of magic and the Princess of Dawn, so the permanence she casts is stable, long-lasting, and noble. The price starts at 600 Ogg."

After saying this, he waited patiently for the ladies to make a decision.

Less than three seconds later, the ugly nobleman said, "I want to change everything! I'm tired of this body."

The lady was very generous and directly gave Rosen 30 gold coins worth 100 Oger.

"Baron, I want the best."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the changing room in the warm hall.

Rosen was afraid of gossip, so he immediately said, "Madam, please bring your maid with you. I need her to be my assistant."

"no problem."

So the three of them went into the changing room together.

About ten minutes later, a charming, wild, and plump beauty walked out of the dressing room. As she walked, she covered her face with her hands, her face full of disbelief.

"Oh, sisters, look at me, have I become more beautiful?"

The girls looked over and subconsciously forgot to speak, but their eyes could not hide the surprise and a hint of jealousy.

It is the jealousy that is unique to women when they see a more beautiful woman.

When the ugly lady saw everyone's performance, she knew that she was absolutely beautiful now, and her heart was suddenly filled with joy.

"Hahaha~ This baron's transformation technique is really amazing~ This money is really worth it!"

She immediately walked towards Serena and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please give me a permanent spell."

Selena smiled, "Glad to help."

With such a person taking the lead, the other ladies were immediately greatly attracted.

Next, each lady began to request services in turn. Some only wanted to change their faces, some had their whole bodies changed, and some were bold enough to demand perfection.

Lawson also tried its best to let Lai Fu optimize many versions so that customers can choose freely.

He was well aware of the competitive mentality of noble ladies and took advantage of it implicitly.

After all the operations, each of these top ladies in Shire County spent at least 1,000 Oger.

Rosen also earned more than 20,000 Oggs.

With the twenty thousand given by the Earl and the more than four thousand Oggs that were not spent on the victory chess tournament, he had nearly fifty thousand Oggs in cash.

He secretly sighed: "It's so damn easy to make money from women!"

And, this certainly won't be the last money, but it's a start.

'It seems that I need to study more about human body deformation to improve my professional ability.'

I thought that was the end of today's good things.

Unexpectedly, late at night, when the ball was over and the ladies left, the Countess took out a wooden box and handed it to Rosen.

"Baron, I'll lend you a good thing."

After saying that, he added a little embarrassedly: "According to etiquette, I should give it to you directly, but this thing is too precious and I can't make the decision, so I can only lend it to you and you must return it when it is due."

Rosen was startled: "What is it?"

"Open it and you'll know."

Rosen did as he was told.

When the wooden box was opened, an irregular gem as big as an orange was seen inside. It was red and transparent, with many bright golden threads inside, and a layer of fire that was as solid as substance surrounded the gem.

Rosen was shocked: "The Mind Diamond!"

When Serena heard this, she also leaned over to look: "Hey~ It's really a spiritual gem!"

The Soul Diamond is a rare naturally formed gem. Due to its extreme rarity and powerful effects, it is not available on the market and is basically collected by the nobles as heirlooms.

Its effect is to greatly improve the efficiency of mana cultivation within the ring, by as much as 50%.

This means that it might take three years of practice to go from the initial stage to the peak, but with the help of this thing, it only takes two years.

Unfortunately, this thing can only improve efficiency within the ring, but it doesn't help much in breaking through the number of rings.

But even so, with its help, the mage can achieve high-level magical powers at a very young age.

The countess said: "Baron, the White Sturgeon Island is not peaceful. You need strength to protect yourself, but your magic power is too low, so this should be very helpful to you."

"But once you reach the advanced peak, you must return it to me."

Rosen also felt that it was not very convenient to do things with his low-level magic power. Now that he had this spiritual gem, he could naturally be "promoted".

But this is just a small detail. What really makes him happy is that he has actually been looking for the spiritual gem.

I want to study its composition and working principle, and then find a way to make it through alchemy.

But because it is so rare, I have never found it. Now I finally got the finished product, which is really the biggest gain of this trip to Shire County.

So he made a sacred vow directly to the Countess: "Madam, I will definitely return it on time."

The Countess covered her mouth and chuckled, "You don't have to be so punctual. After all, I have more than one spiritual gem in my house, and it's not urgent."

Rosen was moved when he heard this: "The nobles have a profound foundation."

I had to express my gratitude anyway, so I said, "Madam, if you need any transformation in the future, just send someone to White Sturgeon Island to summon me. I will rush to serve you as soon as possible."

The Countess nodded with satisfaction: "I've been waiting for you to say this."

"You are about to leave for the White Sturgeon Island. I wish you and His Highness can stabilize the White Sturgeon Island as soon as possible and live a happy and peaceful life."
