Start with Island Lord

Early the next morning, Rosen got on the carriage and left Maple Leaf Castle with Lady Agnet.

Princess Alice was reluctant to leave because she had just played a few games of winning chess with Rosen and had only briefly discussed the food-making spell she had just studied.

She even wanted to go to the White Sturgeon Island with her aunt.

But she was stopped by the Countess.

The nobles in the Northern County are still conservative. A young girl who has not married cannot easily leave her parents.

On the spacious Maple Avenue, Rosen looked at the maple trees that were constantly retreating outside the car window, and discussed the issue of magic practice with Lady Agnet beside him in his heart.

Lady Agnet sighed: "In this regard, I am not your mentor, you are my mentor."

After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong.

"I certainly can't be your mentor in terms of magic achievement. After all, you are extremely talented and have worked hard for ten years, while I have wasted too much time and energy on worldly matters in the past ten years."

"Although I want to comfort you, I know it will not work for you because it is contrary to the facts."

Mrs. Agnet laughed and scolded: "You little rascal, can't you say some sweet words?"

Then she sighed again: "However, I tried the practice techniques you mentioned yesterday, and they are indeed very effective, which has improved my practice efficiency by at least 10%."

Rosen asserted: "With the mentor's magic talent, if it is perfect, I estimate that it can be improved by another 10%."

"This means that if you concentrate on practicing and use the soul gem to assist, it will only take about five years, that is, when the mentor is 33 years old, he should have the opportunity to be promoted to a five-ring sage."

Mrs. Agnet was moved when she heard it, and she had the urge to put everything aside and practice with all her strength.

Because after reaching the fifth ring at the age of 33, the natural life span will increase greatly. In her case, it is estimated that she can live to 200 years old, and if she breaks through the sixth ring, she can live even longer.

Rosen guessed her thoughts by observing her words and expressions: "Teacher, cultivation is just a personal achievement. I personally think that changing the world is more interesting."

Personal cultivation is very attractive to mortals, but in terms of absolute strength, it is actually not outstanding in nature.

Just like the 100-meter race in the previous life, running 100 meters in less than 10 seconds is simply a human prodigy, but it is meaningless to cheetahs, not to mention various artificial aircraft and even spacecraft.

Therefore, you still have to be good at controlling external objects.

Mrs. Agnet glanced at him: "Wearing pants to tell people without pants that it doesn't matter whether they wear pants or not, you little bad guy's mind is even worse than Silger IX!"

Silger IX, the king of Kao, is the grandfather of the contemporary Kao king.

His famous saying is to persuade people to live frugally, but he himself has lived a life of luxury and debauchery. He even filled his bathtub with milk every day for a year.

So he was regarded as a model of hypocrisy by the All-Nature Alliance.

Rosen had nothing to say and could only laugh.

It takes more than half an hour to walk from Maple Leaf Castle to Broken Gold Pier.

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Agnet suddenly said: "Rosen, before I see Selena, lend me your arms again."

She missed the feeling of being in the library yesterday.

Rosen thought for a while, raised his hand and set a magic phantom on the car window, then put his arms around Mrs. Agnet's slender waist, and with a little force, he hugged her to sit sideways on her thighs.

Mrs. Agnet was surprised: "Rosen, this won't work, it's too intimate."

A simple hug can still be said to be a deep relationship between master and apprentice, but now it is really unacceptable.

Rosen didn't say anything, but opened his arms and embraced Mrs. Agnet's relatively petite upper body. The latter stopped talking immediately, and her body was tense because of tension.

But after seeing that Rosen had not made any abnormal movements, she gradually relaxed and leaned on Rosen's chest.

After that, they were silent all the way.

Arriving at the Broken Gold Wharf, they rented a medium-sized cargo ship, set off at nine in the morning, and successfully docked at the wharf at twelve noon.

Getting off the ship, Mrs. Agnet was shocked to see the newly built wharf.

"I remember that Sturgeon Wharf was very small, but now it is almost half the size of Broken Gold Wharf. Where did you get so many stones? Is it produced locally on the island?"

Rosen smiled: "Teacher, guess."

Mrs. Agnet soon discovered the secret: "It's the soil solidified by magic. Hiss~ It's all fixed by the constant spell. Are you crazy? How much does it cost?"

She saw that the whole wharf was in this situation.

Soon, the two of them got on the carriage that came to greet them, and drove briskly along the only solidified wide road on the island to the Crescent Castle.

Halfway through the journey, Mrs. Agnet had figured it out: "You created a cheap constant spell, right?"

"Yes, mentor."

"How cheap?"

"If I were to rebuild the headquarters of the Mage Guild in Dawn City, I might only need one-thirtieth of the cost."

"Oh, this world is really crazy, and new spells are being created everywhere."

Rosen moved slightly: "Teacher, have you heard any news about new spells in Dawn City?"

"Yes, Aaron told me that he had created a fire and thunder weapon that could blast boulders into pieces from more than a thousand meters away, and he also said that he was going to use it on warships."

"That sounds really scary."

Mrs. Agnet's eyes showed an unconcealable horror.

Rosen's hand, which was originally resting on the edge of the car window, also subconsciously flicked the window.

"This news is really scary."

This must be the application of the Land of Fire.

King Danger is indeed worthy of the title of Lion King. In less than a year, he has developed the alien artillery.

It can be guessed that this Lion King is so focused on the war application of the new magic results that he must be preparing for war with all his strength!

And if the cannon is on the warship, it will be the giant warship cannon in the sail era.

Even the sailing warship may not last too long and will soon turn into magic power.

Because war is the biggest catalyst for new power.

The three kingdoms on the continent have been competing secretly. Now that Aaron has a new thing, Kao and Levender will definitely try their best to catch up.

"Of course I can't fall behind. Since someone has taken a step ahead, I should also catch up with him."

But even so, there is still some pressure in my heart.

Because the three kingdoms are all big countries with a population of over 100 million and amazing comprehensive national strength, it will be absolutely crazy to switch to war mode and start to explode troops.

Even if Rosen could really master weapons of different generations, he would still lose if the number was insufficient.

Moreover, it was not certain that he could really create a big generation gap in weapons.

After all, no matter how creative he was, he could not compare with a country with millions of formal mages and tens of millions of informal mages.

He thought to himself: ‘Only by controlling Weilan as soon as possible, obtaining a population of more than 30 million and nearly 500,000 square kilometers of land, can we really be qualified to come to the table! ’

At this time, Mrs. Agnet’s voice came again: “What are the buildings over there?”

“It’s a newly built magic center, currently under construction, and has not yet been completed.”

“What about over there? The one with rows of bungalows.”

“A refugee shelter, intended to accommodate refugees from the Duchy of Bohemia, the people have not arrived yet, but the first batch should be here soon.”

“Hiss~~~You have set your sights on the Duchy of Bohemia?”

Mrs. Agnet had been shocked many times, but she was still shocked by the apprentice’s methods again.

"What about over there? That large building complex?"

"The magic school on the island, I'm training a group of basic mages."

"You have so many things at once, do you have enough money?"

"It's okay, because the labor on the island is basically free, as long as you are well fed."

"It's mainly the consumption of various magic materials and external employees. But with the smuggling business, it can barely hold on."

When the carriage drove up the hillside of Crescent City, Mrs. Agnet saw another new building complex on the other side of Crescent City.

The building complex looked inconspicuous, half on the plain and half hidden in the mountains.

"What is that?"

It was a secret, but Rosen didn't hide it from his mentor.

"The magic factory area under construction. Most of it is still under construction because there is not enough manpower. When the first batch of students in the academy are trained, they will be sent to work and mass-produce cheap magic items."

After listening to this, Mrs. Agnet fell into deep thought again.

A few minutes later, she suddenly said, "Rosen, even if there are refugees from the Principality of Bosilia, there will still be a shortage of people, right?"

"Yes."

"How do you want to solve this problem?"

"Find a way to encourage people to have more children."

Mrs. Agnet couldn't help but raise her hand and hit Rosen on the shoulder, and laughed and scolded, "Children are not weeds, how can they grow so fast?"

She thought for a while and said, "My brother is also a prominent figure in the Northern County. I will ask him to come forward and let him unite with other earls in the Northern County to quietly send a group of people to your island."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send those mountain people who live in the mountains, who are not taxed and are extremely difficult to manage. Let the earls sell them to you and exchange some money for them. They will definitely be willing."

Rosen thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. The living pattern of the residents in the mountains is similar to that of the indigenous people on the island. They can perfectly integrate with the indigenous people on the island after coming here.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master. Anyway, I want as many as I can get, and the price will definitely not let the earls suffer."

"Of course, I can't pay in cash, so I can only pay with various magic tools."

Mrs. Agnet nodded: "That's no problem. The north is short of magic tools, and the magic tools you produce are very exquisite."

She continued: "I can see that you must be short of talents, especially high-end magic talents."

"It just so happens that I have some fame in the magic world of Weilan. I will write to various magic schools and famous magic teachers to recommend your Sturgeon Island to them."

"At the same time, you should also try to give a competitive salary level. In this way, you can attract a group of newly graduated magicians."

Rosen was very happy: "Thank you, Master."

Mrs. Agnet smiled: "Don't be happy in a hurry."

"Your Sturgeon Island is too small and has a bad reputation in the past. At the beginning, there won't be too many good talents coming."

Rosen smiled: "But it's much better than having nothing!"

Mrs. Agnet was concerned about Rosen's financial problems.

"We can't pay all with materials. There are always people who need cash. Do you have enough money?"

Rosen immediately thought of the 2 tons of gold buried in the mountain and nodded: "It should be enough."

Mrs. Agnet didn't believe it: "I knew you were just holding on as soon as I heard it."

"Fortunately, I have saved a lot of money over the years, about 200,000 Oggs. Instead of putting it in the Dawn Bank for the Duke to lend, it's better to use it to support you."

"Don't be too happy too soon. I'm lending it to you, not giving it to you."

Rosen chuckled: "Of course it's a loan. How can I take advantage of my mentor? I have to pay interest."

Of course, the more cash, the better.

"Forget it about the interest. I am a mage, not a Jiamo person who lives by lending money."

The Jiamo people refer to the Jiamo Principality, one of the six principalities of the Natural Alliance. The Duke took the lead in lending, and he was especially fond of usury, which was very hateful.

At this time, the carriage drove into Crescent Castle.

Selena had already received the telegram notification and knew that Mrs. Agnet had arrived, so she was waiting at the door of the lord's longhouse.

When Mrs. Agnet got off the carriage, she trotted over and hugged her close friend tightly: "Anna, I finally see you again."

Mrs. Agnet was also very excited. She hugged her tightly for a while, then looked at Selena's face carefully, and then commented: "The face has become rounder, the eyes are brighter, the body is more fleshy, and even the breasts are... It's getting louder, and it seems like I'm not having a hard time."

Selena smiled: "My life is very easy. Except for being a little boring, everything is very good. But now that you are here, you don't even have the disadvantage of being boring~"

She led Mrs. Agnet into the house: "Anna, do you really plan to live on Paddlefish Island forever?"

"Of course, I don't trust you to go through this alone."

"Oh, that's great, but you don't seem to have experienced this before."

"But I've heard and seen a lot more than you."

While talking and laughing, the two young and beautiful girls walked into the back room of the lord's longhouse.

By the time Rosen settled everything and returned to the back room, the instructor was already checking his sister Evelin's basic spell lessons.

She returned to her stern teacher appearance, calming the little girl who was gradually returning to being naughty so that she didn't dare to take a breath.

The situation of her mother, Mrs. Saxon, was not much better than that of her sister. She obviously did not expect that the distinguished Princess of Shire would come to the castle as a guest.

Seeing Rosen coming in, Selena told him a piece of news.

"My dear, I want to tell you news. I want to have a hearty chat with Anna tonight, so you have to spend the night alone in the guest room."

Rosen shrugged: "No problem, but don't talk too late."

"There is also news. Master Alonso came to see you this morning and said that he has some wonderful ideas to discuss with you."

When Rosen heard the news, he felt happy, poured a glass of water, took a big sip, and immediately turned around and went out.

"I'll go take a look right away."
