Start with Island Lord

Night.

The underground magic experiment center of Crescent Castle.

Rosen came out of the small door of Queen Kao's secret room and turned to enter another very inconspicuous secret door that was almost integrated with the wall.

After opening the door and entering, there was a spiral staircase leading to the underground. After walking down the stairs for more than ten meters, you will enter a secret room deep underground.

There is always a layer of light blue water film on the four walls of the secret room. This is an improved and enhanced version of the seven-ring "Breathless Crystal Wall".

There is a magic circle that automatically maintains it. Once charged, the effect lasts for one month.

Rosen walked to the middle of the secret room, where there was a cylindrical opaque water tank, about two and a half meters long and about one meter in diameter.

There are all kinds of runes painted on the walls around the water tank, including pure water runes, natural runes, life runes, etc., densely packed.

There are also various strange and complex magic equipment around the water tank, and their shapes have a common precision processing style.

Obviously, these are all made by Rosen himself.

The magic equipment was emitting various power fluctuations, and these fluctuations all resonated with the runes on the water tank, conducting precise power communication.

Rosen put on a full-body protective experimental suit for himself, put on protective glasses, and slowly pushed open the hatch of the water tank.

The hatch contained a light green transparent liquid, and in this liquid, a man's body was suspended.

The man looked exactly like Rosen, even the most detailed way was the same.

The most peculiar thing was that this was not due to transfiguration, but was natural.

Although the man was immersed in the water, he had obvious life activities. Not only was he breathing all the time, but his hands and feet would twitch meaninglessly.

This was the substitute that Rosen prepared for himself, which functioned similarly to the substitute of Queen Kao.

But unlike the queen's substitute, Rosen's was a truly perfect substitute.

Why perfect?

Because except for the fact that it had no brain and needed Rosen to remotely control it at all times, everything else was exactly the same as Rosen, including the genes in the deepest part of every body cell.

Because of this, Rosen's magic power can flow unimpeded in his body, and even the closest people cannot detect the abnormality of both parties.

So where did this body come from?

Of course it is not cloned, Rosen has not mastered such ability yet.

The original technology came from the Sea Cliff Laboratory and was called "Blood Fusion Replacement Technique".

The technical details are to obtain a stranger's body, and then use the body as a container to inject your own blood into it, and then use secret medicines and various secret methods to let your blood blend into the stranger's body little by little.

Then, continue to provide power for your own blood, so that it continues to grow until it completely replaces the stranger's body.

In this process, the stranger's body plays the role of a "cultivation container" and "growth template".

When the replacement is completely completed, the stranger will completely "disappear", and what is left is a body that is exactly the same as your own blood, even more like an identical twin.

And such a subtle technique was explored bit by bit by Master Levender through various live experiments.

There is no principle of the technique that is close to the essence, all of which are experience summaries after continuous trial and error, and are quite mature.

It was so mature that Rosen was a little suspicious. The frost messenger Lafengge he met in the Sea Cliff Laboratory that day might have problems.

Of course, Rosen was not afraid even if there were problems.

After obtaining this technology, Rosen made as much improvement as possible on this basis, and then found a body of a "living dead". He spent several months cultivating it bit by bit, and it grew into what it is now.

Today is the time for acceptance.

Rosen carefully checked his body again, and after confirming that everything was normal, his heart moved slightly.

‘Laifu, start telepathy, connect to the perfect puppet, and switch to the background operation. ’

After giving this order, he walked to the chair beside the secret room and sat down, closing his eyes.

But this main body closed its eyes, but its vision was still bright, but the perspective was transferred to the water tank.

‘Hua La~’

The man in the water tank sat up.

‘Cough cough cough~~’

Coughed repeatedly, coughing out the specially made oxygenated pure water in his lungs.

‘Hua La~~’

Climbed out of the water tank, wiped his body clean, and experienced it carefully.

‘It feels exactly the same as the original!’

It should be exactly the same, because the cell genes of both sides are exactly the same.

But because the basic template is the living dead, the cerebral cortex of this clone is also severely damaged, so it has no soul and can only be remotely controlled by the original body.

But after all, it is a perfect substitute with the same blood, so there is still a strange advantage.

‘My pure mana can be transferred to this clone through blood resonance.’

The loss of transfer is very large. The main body consumes 10 mana and can only transfer 1.

But because of the special nature of pure mana.

Because the loss ratio will only decrease slowly as the distance increases.

100 kilometers is a loss of 10 to 1, and 1,000 kilometers is about 13 to 1.

For now, pure mana can only be stored in the soul, and the clone has no soul, so the pure mana after transfer must be directly converted into other spell energy.

Afterwards, either save it or use it directly.

But it is enough.

“Haha~ This is really my perfect clone.”

The south is pacified and the north is terrified. It’s time to take control of Weilan.

But the opponents we will face in the future will become stronger and the challenges will become more severe.

With this thing, when the two bodies are separated, the main body's Laifu will reduce the front-line limit operation ability, but it will give him a lot more room for free movement.

"From now on, this clone will be used to manage government affairs and participate in important political occasions."

As a mage lord, studying magic is fundamental, and you must not let cumbersome government affairs drag down your time and energy too much.

But as a lord, he must control his territory, so a perfect substitute that no one can see any flaws in is a must.

As for the enthusiastic girls, it is all up to the subject to deal with it.

This is one of the great joys of Rosen's life. He must not pretend to be someone else, not even a clone.

After confirming that everything about the clone was perfect, Rosen controlled the clone to rest in the secret room, opened the door and left.

It was eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to the ground.

Rosen returned directly to the inner courtyard of the lord's longhouse.

Looking at his children, they were already asleep, and he teased the children's mother.

The child's mother was in a low mood.

Of course Rosen knew why she was depressed, because during the day, she knew what was happening in the south.

He raised his hand and hugged her.

"Dear, no matter how things change in the future, we, our children, and the Adrian family will always enjoy the glory of Weilan."

The so-called glory is to be supported by money.

The first generation will also be given some rights to gag them.

For example, Holland and Twowood can be reused.

There are not many people in Adrian's family, only forty in total. With an average budget of 2,000 Oggs per person per year, the treatment is already better than what they are now.

It doesn’t cost much in total.

If we establish a mechanism for limiting preferential treatment quotas and downgrading across generations, the benefits of the fifth generation will be cleared. Then no matter how many generations pass, there will be no situation where the tail is too big to be lost.

Selena felt much better. She knew that her husband never promised easily, but as long as he promised, he would never change.

She asked, "Will you kill my brother?"

Rosen shook his head: "Dear, I will not kill any member of the Adrian family, including your brother."

"You are the Duchess and the matriarch of the Adrian family. It is up to you to judge their fate."

Selena thought for a moment and said: "Let him live. He is my brother after all. Go to the North Weilan Sea to find a larger, remote island so that he can stay in peace."

Rosen laughed when he heard this: "My dear, if you do this, Ryder will hate you."

Selena also laughed: "I still hate him. It will be easier for him to keep him alive. Oh, don't drink. The child won't have to drink anymore, huh~~"

During the lingering moment, a chuckle came from my ears: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

But it was the voice of the mentor.

Selena was immediately relieved: "No, no, no, Anna, you came at the right time. I can't handle him alone."

A night of silence.

Early the next morning.

While Rosen was making preparations for heading south to Dawn City in the government study, he suddenly received news from the port.

"Lord, there is an Aaron's ship coming to the dock. It is Aaron King Hound Sir Schmidt who came personally and brought the former Duke."

Rosen was startled, then sighed: "This guy Dange, everyone calls him the Lion King, but I didn't expect that he has the ability to bend and stretch."

If he persists to the end, he is just a reckless man, but now he is an opponent worthy of attention.

Weilan is just Aaron's puppet and can be defeated easily, but the three kingdoms of the Natural Alliance are real beasts.

Moreover, since we are all members of the Natural Alliance, we cannot just fight each other at every turn, which will waste our energy internally and take advantage of the Glorious Empire, which is eagerly watching.

Therefore, the game strategy must be changed in the future.

It is easy not to start a war. Once it starts, it must be decided quickly and the outcome will be determined in one battle so that foreign enemies cannot take advantage of it.

"Weilan, with a population of more than 30 million, faces Aaron, with a population of 110 million. A small man versus a big man, tsk tsk~~ This is really a challenge."

While thinking, Rosen said: "Let them come over."

He waited patiently.

About half an hour later, Sir Schmidt came in person with Ryder.

The former still looked a little arrogant, but the latter looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, with evasive eyes and hunched back, as if he wanted to lie on the ground and lick Rosen's feet.

Rosen glanced at Sir Schmidt and smiled lightly: "Sir, do you know why His Majesty Dange asked you to send the Duke here?"

Sir Schmidt was surprised: "What do you mean, Baron?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Master Shahram, who was at the Blue Whale Mansion that day, is currently hanging on the street lamp of Glory Square blowing the sea breeze."

"And a certain magic master who once threatened to treat me like this should think about his own end?"

Schmidt was shocked and took half a step back, but then stopped: "Baron, don't go too far. You are the only one in the study, and you are an intermediate mage. I can easily defeat you!"

Rosen narrowed his eyes and smiled, and quietly cast a five-ring fate spell 'Fate Prophecy' on Schmidt.

"His Majesty Dange's apology is sincere, and I am certainly not a harsh person."

"I won't kill you, but I bet you will fall down three times when you leave the study."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's no fun, get off my island, Hound."

Sir Schmidt didn't stay for a moment, turned around and left.

Just as he reached the door, he tripped and fell flat on his face with a thump.

The impact was not strong enough to trigger the defensive magic weapon, so he fell hard and knocked out his front teeth.

He got up with blood all over his mouth, and he didn't realize what happened. He just felt that he was really unlucky.

He got up and continued to walk.

He took two steps and fell again. His forehead hit the ground hard, almost knocking him out.

He got up dizzy and took two steps and fell again.

His arm subconsciously supported on the ground, twisted the joint, and with a "crack", it broke.

At this point, if he still didn't understand what was going on, he would be a fool.

He turned his head with blood all over his face and looked at the baron in the study with a look of seeing a ghost.

He saw that the other party looked at him with a smile, gloating.

"The prophecy of the wise man!" Schmidt stuttered.

"Arrogance has blinded your eyes, but it didn't blind you. Go away~ The feud between us is over."

Sir Schmidt got up, hugged his broken arm, and ran away in a daze.

Rosen looked at the Duke of Dawn, Reid.

"My Lord Duke."

'Plop~~'

Reid knelt directly on the ground: "I am not the Duke, you are the Duke, you are the merciful Lord of Veran, I beg for your mercy, spare my life."

He looked at Rosen pitifully, almost kowtowed.

But he was shocked in his heart. Such a young five-ring sage must be a person with extraordinary talent. No wonder he failed.

Rosen sighed and shouted to the door: "Alia, go and call the lady over."

After a while, Serena arrived.

Ryder immediately knelt down on the ground and took a few steps towards Selena: "Sister~~Sister~~Brother, I was wrong, I apologize to you, I..."

Selena waved her hand: "Ryder, you are no longer my brother."

"Yes, yes, you are the noble Duchess, I am just an ordinary person, please spare my life, Duchess!"

Selena looked at her brother kneeling on the ground, not knowing how to describe her feelings.

"Reid, write a notice saying that you will pass the throne to my husband, and then you will live on Graystone Island for the rest of your life."

"Which Graystone Island?"

"In the North Weilan Sea, there is an isolated island 150 kilometers away from the land, with a radius of about 5 kilometers. There is land for growing potatoes and bird droppings as fertilizer. You can grow potatoes to support yourself."

Reid's face changed drastically: "Coco, I don't know how to do it."

"You can learn. In the first few years, we will give you enough food, but we won't send it all the time. If you can't learn, you will starve to death."

"By the way, there is also this potion, which is the Golden Blessing. It can ensure your health and won't let you get sick and die easily."

"Drink it."

Reid finally couldn't help it and shouted: "Selena, you are a demon!"

Selena used a master-level spell to force Reid's mouth open and fed him 5 ml of the Golden Blessing:

"To deal with demons, of course, you have to use demonic means. I will treat my brother the way my brother treated me."

After that, she turned and left the government study.

Rosen looked at Reid and smiled, "My Lord Duke, I will provide you with a detailed manual on growing potatoes and various vegetables, and I will also provide you with fishing rods, fishing nets and small fishing boats."

"In short, you will not lack the tools to get food."

Reid was completely desperate. After a long silence, he asked, "What will happen to my wife and children?"

"Two choices. One, go to the lonely island with you, and two, stay in Dawn City. I will guarantee their decent life."

Reid was silent for a few seconds and said, "Let them stay in Dawn City."

Rosen smiled and said, "This is probably your last responsibility. For this, I will arrange a few servants for you and build a nice little manor."

"Thank you~"

Reid thanked reluctantly, but he had completely recognized the facts.

The young man in front of him could decide the fate of the rest of his life with just a few words.

This is the power he dreamed of, but unfortunately, he never really got it.

"You're welcome, Alia. Arrange for him to leave the White Sturgeon Island."

"Yes, sir."

After Reid left, the Admiralty General Yopp and the Army General Kaudrin arrived together.

"Lord, everything is ready. We can go south to Dawn City at any time."

Rosen was very satisfied with the efficiency: "Then let's set off tomorrow morning!"

Go south to Dawn City and take over Dawn Castle.

When he completely took over the giant island of Weilan with a population of 30 million and a land area of ​​520,000 square kilometers, he was no longer a chess piece that could be squeezed and wiped out at will and trembled all day long, but was upgraded to a chess player on the victory chess table.

Although it is only the smallest chess player in the Natural Alliance, it is a fundamental leap!

The giant island of Weilan, the southern county is 320,000 square kilometers, and the northern county is 200,000 square kilometers.

PS: The chapter name was wrong today. I was too quick to post it and couldn't change it. As a result, two 157 chapters were published.
