Chapter 29: Family unity brings strength, Your Excellency the Duke

Night.

The superior guest room on the third floor of the Blue Whale Mansion.

Selena and Mrs. Agnet sat face to face on the chairs in the living room, while Rosen insisted on standing behind Selena.

It was both out of respect and because his butt was numb from sitting on the roof all night.

"With the protection of Sage Levin, the Aaron people will not bother you for the time being."

Mrs. Agnet said so.

She was still a little dazed, and her thoughts were still immersed in the previous passionate power of unity.

Selena nodded gently, but she was also a little worried: "Anna, do you think Danger will deal with Sage Levin?"

Mrs. Agnet shook her head.

"I definitely have this idea, but I doubt if he has the courage."

"After all, the sage is not interested in money, women, or even power. He is a pure mage."

"Such a sage is the most terrifying, because he has no constraints. Once he is angry, he can do anything."

Selena felt relieved and full of emotion: "Sage Levin is a hero. I respect him, thank him, and am very glad that such a hero exists in Weilan."

Mrs. Agnet agreed: "That's right."

The two high-level female mages sighed for a long time before finally turning their attention to Rosen.

"Selena, now you are free, why do you insist on marrying my apprentice?"

Selena looked shy and she held Rosen's hand.

"Because we agreed to develop the Sturgeon Island together."

Mrs. Agnet was surprised: "Well, it seems that you really like Rosen, which is normal. After all, my apprentice is really good-looking."

"But Rosen, are you hiding something from me?"

Rosen knew that his mentor was in the harbor area early on, and he also knew that he would meet again early on, so he had already prepared a story.

At this time, he looked "awkward": "Teacher, in fact, I mastered all the knowledge that a formal magician should master two years ago."

"The reason for the delay of two years is that your magic laboratory is well-equipped, the library has a large collection of books, and there is a 40% discount for apprentices."

"I am very short of money, and I want to master more knowledge, so I concealed my progress."

"I apologize to you and am willing to compensate you for your losses."

Mrs. Agnet blinked, but she didn't feel very angry. After all, she was not short of money, and she was very satisfied with Rosen's performance tonight.

But as a mentor, you must pick out the shortcomings of the apprentice to prevent the apprentice from being proud and complacent, even if the apprentice has graduated.

So, she pointed out seriously: "Since you are willing to risk your life to protect Selena, I won't mind the concealment."

"But even so, it still took you eight years to graduate, which is still a very mediocre result."

As soon as the voice fell, Selena suddenly heard a low laugh that she couldn't suppress.

"What are you laughing at?"

Selena coughed lightly to stop laughing: "Maybe mediocre in other aspects, but in victory chess, she is definitely a top genius."

Mrs. Agnet's cheeks immediately turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she quickly adjusted her mentality: "Although I am not good at victory chess, I am the mentor of the victory chess king, right?"

"Okay, Anna, you are absolutely right."

After saying this, Selena's face suddenly became solemn.

"Anna, I am completely disappointed in Reid."

"He has completely turned into a cold-blooded duke, with only calculations in his mind, and others, including me, are all pawns at his disposal."

"This is the kind of person I hate the most. Even if he is my blood relative, I must stay away from him!"

"So, I have to go to the White Sturgeon Island."

Mrs. Agnet understood, stood up and sat beside Selena, gently grasping her other hand: "I will write a letter to my brother and ask him to find a way to support you."

Hearing this, Rosen sighed in his heart: "The mentor is still kind-hearted, I always underestimate the darkness of the world. "

Just thinking about this, I heard Selena smile bitterly: "Anna, I can't cause you trouble, because I have completely seen through Reid."

"He doesn't have much ability, but his desire for control is terrible, and Rosen and I have greatly challenged his authority. He must hate us now, and even hate the sage Levin."

"Just watch, he will soon issue a decree to prevent the twenty-five counties of Weilan from trading with the White Sturgeon Island to completely isolate us."

This surprised Mrs. Agnet, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was not impossible.

She was speechless.

Rosen on the side looked at Selena with admiration: "Hey~ Although my princess wife is slow to react and easily gets excited, she is still very clear and has not made any mistakes about the Duke."

He is now very satisfied with Selena's performance.

Selena didn't know Rosen's thoughts, but she comforted Mrs. Agnet instead.

"Anna, don't worry about me. The area of ​​the White Sturgeon Island is not small, and there are many troubles. It is enough for Rosen and I to toss for a long time."

"You know, I have always been a person who can't sit still and loves to toss."

Mrs. Agnet's mood improved a little: "No matter what, you must write to me often. I will come to visit you whenever I am free."

"I will never forget, Anna. After all, you are my only good friend. If I don't write to you, I don't know who to tell my worries to."

Seeing the two girls chattering endlessly, Rosen still had some things to deal with.

He suggested: "Madam, mentor, it's getting late, why don't you go to the bedroom to spend a night with your best friends, just like before?"

The two girls were really tempted.

Mrs. Agnet smiled and asked: "Rosen, what about you?"

"I can sleep next door, or sleep directly in the living room, just like the past two days."

Selena's cheeks were slightly red. Although she became Rosen's wife in a daze and decided to spend the rest of her life with him, she was not ready to live together.

I was a little nervous about what was about to happen. It happened that my friends had all experienced it, so I wanted to ask quietly.

Now Rosen's idea is very good.

She said, "Rosen, you should go to the next room to rest, so as not to spread gossip and affect Anna's reputation. After all, we are not short of money now."

"As you wish, ma'am."

Selena pulled Madam Aignite to the bedroom again: "Let's go, Anna, I have a lot of secrets to tell you."

After the two women entered the bedroom, Rosen turned and went out.

With the help of several black-clad iron guards guarding the door, he soon slept in the bedroom next door.

After closing his eyes, he whispered in his heart without practicing: "Laifu, has No. 1 arrived at the designated position?"

Soon he got a response.

"No. 1 is already in place."

"Very good, always ready, ready to execute orders at any time."

The so-called No. 1 is actually the wandering sage Levin.

His true identity is a combat puppet that Rosen spent a lot of effort to create.

In the past ten years, he has trained Laifu in the four top abilities one by one.

The first "Rosen Meditations" gave him a strong magic power.

The following "Transfiguration" gave him a nearly perfect camouflage ability and unique alchemy.

The third "Puppetry" gave him an external substitute, which greatly improved his ability to collect training data.

The last "Heart of the God of War" gave him the force to protect his own life safety, and most of his combat data was obtained through "Puppetry".

These four top abilities complement each other, and the highest masterpiece formed after condensing together is the sage Levin.

Of course, there is no perfect spell in the world.

Although Levin's ability is extremely strong, there are also many limitations in use.

For example, the maximum remote control distance cannot exceed 50 kilometers, and when running at full power, it will occupy nearly a quarter of Lai Fu's computing power, and it must be charged and maintained regularly.

In short, it is very troublesome to use.

Back to the topic.

Seeing No. 1 in place, Rosen issued another order to Lai Fu: "Turn on No. 1 "Detection Guard."

The eyes were slightly bright, and a huge screen appeared, showing the current situation of the Duke's study.

In the study, the Duke sat behind the desk as he did last time, and in front of him stood a black-robed wizard, the leader of the Black Guards, Wizard Ander.

The black-robed wizard described in detail and objectively what happened in the garden square.

At first glance, he looked like an emotionless robot, but his subconsciously clenched fists revealed his nervous heart.

The Duke listened carefully.

A storm was gathering on his face.

When Wizard Ander finished telling all the details of the incident, he confirmed in a deep voice: "So, Selena would rather die than give up the little baron?"

"Based on the princess's performance, that's the case."

'Crack! '

The Duke crushed the enamel water cup in his hand, and sharp powder mixed with scarlet blood flowed down from his fingers.

Ander wanted to step forward to stop the bleeding, but was stopped by him.

He let the blood flow, and his face was flashing with lightning and thunder.

"I was wondering why she was suddenly willing to marry the baron. It turns out she had been eyeing him for a long time!"

"The sinister wandering sage, the poor and ugly bird shit baron, and my well-behaved sister are teaming up to oppose me!"

"These people have no idea how powerful Aaron is! They have no idea how difficult it is for me to maintain the current situation!"

"Selena, since you like to mix in the mud, then you can stay in it forever!"

Then the Duke shouted to Ander: "Help me draft the announcement."

"Yes, Duke."

After Ander got the paper and pen, the Duke read it in a deep voice.

"Selena Adrian, disregarding the interests of the family and the principality, is willful and reckless. She is no longer worthy of being the Dawn Princess of Veran, nor is she worthy of being the wife of Baron Rosen Saxon."

"Selena is still exiled to the White Sturgeon Island, and is not allowed to step out of the White Sturgeon Island for the rest of her life, and her engagement with the Baron is cancelled."

"This will be supervised and implemented by the Baron himself."

"In addition, the Baron can choose any woman he likes to marry, except Selena. If he disobeys, Selena will be imprisoned and the Baron will be deprived of his title."

"Finally, it is strictly forbidden for the twenty-five counties of Veran to conduct any trade with the White Sturgeon Island, even the trade of bird shit is not allowed!"

At this point, the Duke showed a cold smile on his face.

"Okay, you will now deliver this notice to the Cabinet Council and let them pass it overnight. It must be posted on every bulletin board in Dawn City before the sun rises tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord Duke."

Ander's face remained calm, because he was used to it.

Seeing this, Rosen secretly commented: "The Duke is really furious."

What should I do?

Of course, I should do it now.

Rosen had an idea: "Laifu, let No. 1 carry out the preliminary plan and give our Grand Duke a surprise!"

"Preparatory plans are being implemented."

Rosen immediately checked the image of the Duke's study.

In the image, the Duke was grinning sneer, seeming very proud of his bad idea, and Mage Ander was about to turn around to make an announcement.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light outside the study window, which was the sound of the castle's defense circle being forcibly broken.

Almost at the same time, the exquisite cut glass exploded with a bang, and a black figure crashed into the Duke behind the desk at a very fast speed.

The incident happened so quickly that the Duke had no time to respond and was actually hit by a shadow!

‘Buzz~’

A large number of runic lights and shadows appeared on the surface of his body, but it was the lattice-inducing magic weapon "Doom Blocking Barrier", and its strength reached the peak of the fourth level.

The Weilan Magic Realm cannot get such a good thing, so it must have spent a lot of money to buy it from the Wit Continent.

‘Poof~’

The black shadow was blocked, bounced out, and landed on the carpet. It turned out to be a dark silver metal ball.

It was only then that the Duke realized what he was doing. He jumped up like a rabbit, hid in the corner and squatted down, letting out a horrified roar.

"What's going on?! Why didn't the castle's defensive barrier work? Who did it?!"

Like a scared little girl.

Mage Ander immediately squatted behind the wall, waited for a while, and after seeing no further movement, he carefully picked up the metal ball on the ground with his mage's hands.

After taking a look, he immediately said: "Duke, there are words on the sphere."

"What word?"

"It says, 'Family unity is the only strength, Your Majesty the Duke - Wanderer Levin'"

The Duke was stunned for a moment and asked: "Did Levin do it? Why didn't the warning tower respond?"

Ender turned to examine the hole in the window and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Duke, Levin should have stood very far away and used five-ring mana to cast throwing spells to forcefully throw this thing over."

"Extremely far. How far is it?"

"Maybe a kilometer, maybe even further."

After a pause, Ander said softly: "Master, the sage once said that he wanted to protect the princess, so what he just said should be a warning."

Cold sweat broke out on the Duke's forehead: "Starting from tomorrow, additional guard posts will be set up within one kilometer or two kilometers around the castle, and a multi-layered defensive array will be set up outside the study. The intensity will be doubled, no, three times higher than today!"

"Also, I want to change the study room, and all the study room guards will be replaced!"

"Yes, Duke."

"Also, please revise the announcement just now."

After pondering for a few seconds, the Duke said in a very unwilling tone:

"Selena is still the Princess of Dawn. I agree with her marrying the Baron, but she is strictly prohibited from leaving Paddlefish Island, and Paddlefish Island is strictly prohibited from conducting commercial trade with other counties."

"She can be willful, but I must give an explanation to King Dange."

"Yes, Duke."

The Duke was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "Is there any way to kill this Levin?"

This time, Master Ande was silent for ten seconds before answering.

"Unless Levin is stupid and insists on confronting the army, there is no way to guarantee that he will be killed."

"But once you take action and fail to kill, then..."

The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but of course the Duke could understand it, so he would have to be wary of a sage's assassination from now on.

It was a sad day.

"How long do you think he can live?"

Since we can't afford to offend him, we can only endure it and see who survives longer.

"The sage's aging rate has been greatly slowed down. Levin is probably in his early sixties. If nothing else happens, he should be able to live to be over 120 years old."

"In addition, it is very likely that he will touch the sixth magic circle in the future and become a Dharma Saint. Then it will be no problem to live to 200 years old. And if the other party is intensively studying life magic, then... that is even less certain, and he may even live Over 500 years old.”

The Duke was greatly mentally unbalanced: "Only him can return the Dharma Saint?!"

If he really wanted to become a Dharma Saint, he would not only be able to suppress him for the rest of his life, but when he died of old age, that guy would be able to continue to suppress his son, grandson, and even great-grandson.

Then what does Duke Weilan mean in front of him?

The Duke felt extremely unhappy, even greatly jealous.

Master Ander sighed softly: "Your Majesty Duke, Levin is an extremely pure mage. This kind of person is most likely to be promoted to the Holy Realm."

"Damn Wanderer! Damn you to hell!"

The young and strong Duke cursed in a low voice.

At the same time, Rosen grinned: "I can't scare you to death, hehe."

Although he was happy, he sighed softly: "Mortal power has its limit~"

Because of the unknown, the king's authority awes those who are strong in cultivation.

Because there is knowledge, those who are strong in practice are also afraid of the royal power.

"Therefore, it is the most powerful cultivators who hold the power of the king."
