Start with Island Lord

It was ten o'clock in the evening.

The hustle and bustle of the day gradually faded away. After a busy day, Rosen sat in the government study room that originally belonged to the Duke, stretching lazily.

Thanks to Reid's full efforts in the renovation, this study room is very, very safe. It is simply the safest place except for the Dawn Garden in the backyard.

Not only is it safe, but it is also very secretive. As long as the door is closed, the entire room will automatically activate the fourth-ring strength arcane wall, isolating the inside and outside of the study room very well.

Unless the peeper has the power of the fifth ring and observes closely, he will not be able to see the secrets in the study room.

At present, Rosen is the only mage with more than five rings in the castle meeting area, so it is equivalent to having perfect privacy.

‘Click~~’

The door was pushed open, and An Lin, the new chief administrative officer of Dawn Castle, who was the eldest son of Ah Fu, the old steward of Crescent Castle in Sturgeon Island, arrived with the envoys of the Glorious Empire.

Only one person came.

He is a fourth-ring peak mage, and he came empty-handed. It seems that he wants to discuss confidential matters that cannot be easily written on paper.

Rosen had already seen the information submitted by the other party, so he naturally knew the other party's name.

After a busy day, he was always dealing with various issues and choices related to Weilan's future. Even though this clone was extremely strong, he felt a little tired.

At this time, he lazily leaned on the newly replaced dragon lizard leather chair, and after the other party closed the door, he said in a lazy tone.

"Ms. Irene, Weilan and the Glorious Empire are separated by countless mountains and endless oceans. I am really surprised that the lady came here so early."

Weilan and the Glorious Empire are separated by Aaron, and there is no direct interest relationship, and there is almost no interest exchange between the two sides, so Rosen's attitude is a bit casual.

Irene frowned: "My Lord, I am representing Her Majesty the Queen at this moment. Even when Her Majesty Danger saw me, she always maintained enough respect."

Rosen thought to himself: 'As expected of an envoy from a great country, he is quite arrogant. '

He pointed to the chairs by the wall: "Lady, please sit down."

"There is no third person here, so just be casual and let me rest for a while. There is no need for the lady to be tense until late at night, right?"

That's right.

Irene sat down on the chair: "Duke, my purpose is very clear, I just want to get some magic results from you."

Rosen smiled: "What's the price?"

"I will try my best to help you delay Aaron and delay the time for the Lion Fleet to cross the strait."

After a pause, she said: "As far as I know, the Lion Fifth Fleet and the Lion Fourth Fleet, a total of 60 Thunder Warships are already preparing for war."

"Including 15 Black Stone Warships, although they have not yet formed combat effectiveness, it won't take too long."

"The Duke should know about this, right?"

"Of course I know."

Aaron has a lot of interests in the Storm Ocean northwest of the Wit Continent, so he maintains about two-thirds of the navy.

But obviously, the loss of interests after losing Weilan is even greater, so he plans to give up some interests in the Storm Ocean to regain Weilan.

As for the interests of the Storm Ocean, of course, they are left to the Glorious Empire.

Rosen tapped the table with his fingers: "His Majesty Dange is a shrewd man. He knows very well that even if he defeats the Weilan fleet at sea, he can't beat me on land."

"After all, there is a strait between us."

On one side, they fight on the mainland to resist foreign enemies. On the other side, they invade across the strait.

Apart from other things, Aaron's army supply will be greatly limited.

Irene smiled faintly.

"His Majesty Dange is certainly not stupid, but a large number of nobles in Aaron whose interests you have harmed are jumping up and down anxiously."

"They just want to fight you now, even if it's good to get back a war reparations."

Individuals can be rational, but the collective will of the kingdom may not be.

But this is all what Rosen already knows. He doesn't want to waste time on this known information, so he asked, "What do you want to know, ma'am?"

"The core power components of the Black Stone battleship do not need detailed structures. We only need to know some basic principles."

Rosen laughed, "Ms. Irene, you have a really sharp eye. You picked out the best thing I have at first sight."

"Why, do you dislike my airplane?"

"The airplane is a flying magic weapon. Of course, it is also very good, but the production of this kind of airplane should be quite difficult, and we probably already know its principle."

Hearing this, Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he estimated that the Glorious Empire must also have airplanes, and the performance is not far from his Roarer.

And the scale is naturally far beyond.

He suddenly sighed in his heart: 'The Glorious Queen is really a daughter of heaven. '

If he can control the Glorious Empire, he will definitely be able to build a star destroyer within 30 years.

It's a pity that there is no if in the world. He is currently just the owner of a 'big plantation' island.

He smiled and said, "Ms. Irene, even without the Queen's restraint, I may still be able to defeat the Lion Fleet at sea. Therefore, your proposal is not worth the price I pay."

Irene did not expect to succeed at once, so she said directly, "Why don't you tell me your conditions, Your Highness?"

During the entire conversation, she had been carefully observing the young Duke, paying special attention to his aura of power.

This was a task specially assigned by the Queen, and even the first task.

The purpose was to find out how many rings of magic power this Duke had.

The Queen did not believe the rumors, but only believed in what she had seen and heard with her own eyes.

Of course, Irene herself was incapable of detecting it, but she secretly carried the Queen's secret detection device.

This detection instrument is very strong, but it cannot detect independently. It must be activated using the radiant power contained in the radiant bloodline.

So she did it carefully.

Perhaps the young Duke opposite him was indeed tired. He looked very tired, which even gave Eileen a feeling that she could defeat him.

Of course, the other party was at least a sage, and it was said that he had very strong fighting ability, so she wisely gave up on the noble idea of ​​exchanging lives for lives to eliminate troubles for the country.

On the other side, Rosen vaguely felt a very strange sense of being spied on, but for a moment he couldn't determine the source of the prying eyes.

The only thing he was sure of was that the power used by the snoop had a very high level of order, much higher than the power of a level 10 sage, and it was not the power of nature and steel that he was familiar with.

Such elimination, combined with the current situation, allowed him to determine the source of the snooping.

‘You actually used a magic weapon to spy on me. Should I notice it, or should I pretend that I don’t know? ’

After thinking quickly, Rosen discovered that the other party had a conspiracy-like strategy.

If he shows awareness, it means he has at least seven levels of mana.

Because the power used by the opponent is very secretive, only those with a sensitivity of seven levels and above can detect being spied on.

If you pretend not to know, you will have to be detected by the opponent's magic weapon.

And he doesn't know the specific function of the magic weapon. If it is very powerful, it is possible to directly see through his secret.

"This strategy must have been thought up by the Queen of Radiance. I really underestimated her."

What to do?

Of course, it is to be revealed directly, because revealing only exposes the magic power of the seven rings. If it is not revealed, it may be that the bottom line will be blown away.

As a result, his eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his hand to face Irene with the simplest first-level arcane shock.

The spell is not strong, but fast.

‘Pah~~buzz~~’

The induced defense weapon on Irene's body was activated, covering it with a layer of golden glass-like light shield, the strength of which was as high as six rings.

She herself jumped up in shock and looked at Rosen warily.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

After luring out the defensive weapon, Rosen had another thought. He took out his Vulcan gun from under the desk and pointed the black muzzle directly at Irene.

"Madam, remove the magic weapon, or I will let you try this good thing!"

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

Erin looked shocked, but if she listened carefully, she could hear a hint of guilt.

Rosen sneered: "You know why I did this."

"If you come here in a friendly way, I will naturally treat you kindly, but if you are malicious, don't blame me for being rude!"

Erin had nothing to say and obediently lifted the defensive light shield.

Rosen pointed the Vulcan gun firmly at the opponent and looked at the tight vest, breeches and gold-rimmed white windbreaker on the other person: "Take off the windbreaker, turn around and shake it a few times."

Erin complied.

Of course nothing came out.

"Jacket."

Eileen pursed her lips and still obeyed.

Still nothing.

"Pants! Or take it out yourself, don't force me to do it myself!"

Eileen hesitated: "Can I use a windbreaker to cover it up?"

"No, I'm not sure if you have any deadly weapons hidden. You must never keep your hands out of my sight!"

Eileen had no choice but to dare to test the other party's bottom line.

Finally, in front of Rosen, she took out a cylindrical magic weapon about 3 centimeters in diameter and 7 centimeters in length from some indescribable place.

She asked: "So, you have at least seven rings of mana, right?"

Rosen sneered: "Now that you know, you should be more cautious!"

"Clean things up and throw them to me."

Soon, the magic weapon came into Rosen's hands. When he saw that the other party wanted to get dressed, he immediately stopped!

"Stand still!"

He was not sure whether there were other magic weapons hidden on the other party's body.

Erin gritted her teeth and could only continue to stand in a disgraceful manner.

On the other side, Rosen carefully inspected the magic weapon in his hand.

He discovered that it was a completely unfamiliar magic weapon, and it was almost completely stuck in his blind spot of knowledge.

He couldn't figure out the function of this thing for a while.

After checking it over and over for a while, I finally figured out the principle.

"Ha~ It turns out to be a magical weapon of brilliance."

The radiant magic weapon is specially used to control the power of brilliance. In ancient times, it was also called the radiance artifact.

Just like the steel magic weapon, you need to have a sufficient concentration of radiant blood and know the corresponding secret method to activate the radiant power.

According to preliminary observations, the order level of the radiant power should have reached level 6, which is higher than the level 7 power of steel and the level 8 natural divine power. It is also much higher than the level 10 sage power discovered by Rosen.

A super high order level has two major benefits.

One is a wider range of uses. The second is a more sophisticated spell.

Rosen had never been in direct contact with the power of radiance, but he was very interested in this high-order power.

It is also completely conceivable that if it can be studied and understood, it will definitely bring about huge applications of magic.

At least it will greatly accelerate his plan, but at worst it will rewrite Weilan's fate.

Just like the super tempered material of the power of steel and the powerful healing effect of the power of nature.

Furthermore, in terms of personal practice, the Queen of Glory is his biggest opponent, and understanding the opponent's strength is also the first priority.

Obviously, the lady Irene, who was born in the glorious royal family, is an excellent research target.

But the other party will definitely not cooperate, and will even do everything possible to stop him from researching.

So, how can he study its power quietly without alerting the other party?

Rosen's mind was turning quickly.

On the other side, Irene certainly didn't know Rosen's thoughts. She showed a hint of surprise on her face: "The Duke's knowledge is really broad, and he can actually see the use of the magic weapon."

"But this magic weapon is not of much use to the Duke, please return it to me."

"For this presumptuous peeping, our country will also give corresponding compensation."

Rosen's face was noncommittal. Looking at the glorious envoy who was showing his heart in front of him, he had an idea in his mind.

"I can return this thing to you. As for compensation, I do have a small request."

"What request?"

Rosen looked at Irene and said, "I like to conquer beauties, and the lady happens to be a beauty."

"If the lady can make me happy, I will not only return it to you, but also give you an extra set of magic information."

As he spoke, Rosen's face showed a strong "dissolute" color.

Irene was shocked when she heard it. She ignored Rosen's previous warning and picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on casually.

"My Lord Duke, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now. Please organize your words and say it again!"

As an envoy, she represented the Glorious Queen.

Danger didn't dare to be so rude to her. This little Duke of Weilan, who hasn't even taken the position firmly, is so dissolute. It's just... just vulgar!

It's rumored that the new duke likes beauties. She always thought it was a slander by political enemies. Now she sees that it is not only not slander, but also beautified.

This duke, who was born as a little baron, is both vulgar and arrogant!
