Start with Island Lord

Chapter 32: Leverage and Create Momentum

In the morning, the sun was shining brightly.

It was also the quietest time of the day for the Wildcat Inn.

In the restaurant on the first floor, there were a few idle people sitting sparsely, and a group of "idle people" sat by the window.

There were three people in this group, two men and one woman.

One was the mercenary Kruber, and the other was the lame weapon refiner Alonso.

The last one was the former court potion master Wei Ge who was on the run. She looked like an ordinary middle-aged woman, and she must have used Transfiguration to disguise herself.

Kruber took a sip of light ale and twisted his butt uncomfortably: "I said, were you two also recruited by that mysterious master?"

Alonso shrugged, and his cheeks with several scars looked a little fierce.

"To be precise, I just came to take a look."

Wei Ge's face was expressionless like a puppet: "I am the same as Alonso, just to take a look, after all, it is rare to take the initiative to recruit people."

Seeing that the two had no intention of saying more, Kruber did not say much, and just drank the cheap light ale sip by sip.

As they were drinking, the lobby of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and then a tall man wearing a large hobo cloak walked into the lobby.

The man was leaning on an ordinary wooden stick, with a wrinkled old face, gray hair, and a slightly hunched back. He looked like an ordinary old homeless man.

Alonso and Vigo didn't react much, after all, there were homeless people like this everywhere, and it was not strange at all.

The mercenary Kruber didn't care much at first, and continued to drink by himself, but after drinking less than half a sip, he suddenly stopped and seemed to remember something.

He immediately turned his head to look at the old man.

Halfway through, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he turned back and only observed with the corner of his eyes.

The more he looked, the more surprised he was. Later, his face even showed fear, and his hands even trembled slightly, so that a lot of beer in the glass was spilled.

Alonso, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, finally realized that something was wrong with him: "Mercenary, are you having the fever?"

Kruber swallowed hard and pointed at the old man sitting in the corner on the other side of the hall: "Do you know who that is?"

"A down-and-out old man."

"Shh~"

Kruber quickly made a small gesture, his eyes wide as round as green beans: "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the wandering sage Levin."

When this came out, Alonso was also shocked. The light beer he had just drunk went directly into his trachea, so he coughed repeatedly, and his face turned red.

After a while, he returned to normal: "Are you sure?"

Kruber nodded slightly: "Last night, a big thing happened outside the Blue Whale Mansion. You should have heard about it, right?"

Alonso and Vigo both nodded.

The story of the wandering sage leading countless people to repel the Aaron warriors and successfully protecting Princess Vilan is simply a legendary epic.

After a night of brewing, the news had already spread throughout the Dawn City and quickly spread to the entire Weilan Giant Island and even the Natural Alliance.

Now, this legendary wizard who possessed the power of terrifying magic appeared in a simple rural inn, drinking 3 coppers a cup of light ale and eating coarse wheat bread mixed with sand and bran. It really made people admire him.

Because his simple life was definitely not because of poverty, but because of the noble and flawless moral sentiments like a saint.

Alonso sighed deeply: "A sage is a sage, and his realm of thought is far beyond the reach of mortals like us."

Wei Ge nodded in agreement, and she said seriously: "This is one of the most respectable mages in the Natural Alliance."

Kruber laughed: "If I had such legendary power, I would definitely rob the vault of Dawn Bank."

Wei Ge glanced at him with contempt: "If you keep thinking like this, then you can only stop at a high-level warrior in this life."

Kruber shrugged: "I'm just a mercenary, I don't have such a big pursuit."

He himself did not have any confidence in breaking through the master level. In fact, as he got older, his strength not only did not improve, but also regressed a little.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and Alia and Stonard walked in one after another, and then turned around and walked towards them.

Alia said: "Three, my master is here."

Kruber immediately stood up to greet him, but Alonso and Wei Ge sat there without moving.

But the three of them looked at the door of the restaurant.

Footsteps were heard behind the door, and after a while, two people walked in.

The man was tall and strong, and the woman was tall.

The man had an ordinary face, but the woman was surprisingly beautiful!

As soon as she walked into the hotel restaurant, she instantly attracted everyone's attention, as if a golden phoenix had landed on a grass nest, and the radiance emitted by her turned the grass nest into a gorgeous palace.

'Hiss~~~~'

Everyone in the hotel was stunned and couldn't help but take a breath.

Then, the man and woman walked side by side towards Kruber and the others.

When they got closer, the well-informed mercenary had already recognized the identities of the two.

He pointed at the two with a trembling finger, looking like he had seen a ghost.

"Princess Chen Chenxi and Niao Niao Niao Niao. Baron of Sturgeon Island!"

He also went to the Garden Square last night, so he knew Baron of Sturgeon Island.

As for Princess Chenxi, it goes without saying.

The princess often participates in the festival prayers organized by the temple, and once you have seen her face, you will never forget it in your life.

Alonso bounced up like a spring, bowed and saluted, and addressed her as Her Royal Highness.

As for Wei Ge, she stood up and saluted normally, with no ripples on her face.

In fact, except for the wandering sage Levin in the corner, everyone in the hall, including the innkeeper, saluted Princess Chenxi from a distance.

Selena was used to such scenes. She smiled kindly and nodded in return, exuding innate nobility and elegance.

Those Weilan people who were saluted by her were all honored. Looking at their excited looks, they seemed to be ready to lie on the ground and kiss the princess's shoes the next moment.

Selena looked at Kruber and the other two and asked with a smile: "My husband said that he recruited three rare talents and wanted me to help take a look. Are you three?"

Kruber had guessed something a long time ago, and he was the first to return to normal at this time.

He straightened his chest hard, making himself look like a real soldier: "Yes, Your Highness, it's us!"

Alonso stammered, wanting to say that he hadn't agreed yet.

But he couldn't say it because he was already very tempted.

Being able to follow the Princess of Dawn and serve her is the highest life pursuit of most Dawn civilians.

Even if he had to follow the princess to the desolate and barren Sturgeon Island, Alonso would be willing.

Even the noble princess could endure this hardship, so of course he, Alonso, could.

So he also straightened his chest: "Your Highness, it is my supreme honor to serve you."

But Wei Ge remained calm.

First, because she was from Levender and was a foreigner.

Second, because she was once the chief apprentice of the court potion master, she had no unrealistic fantasies about people like princes and princesses who were difficult for civilians to contact.

In her eyes, these princes and princesses were also mortals.

Of course, she had to admit that this Princess of Dawn was indeed extraordinary, and both her appearance and personality were much better than ordinary princes and princesses.

But it had nothing to do with her, she only cared about how much benefit she could get.

So she responded politely.

"Your Highness, I have not yet agreed to serve you and the Baron."

"I admire your courage to pursue happiness, and I envy your deep feelings with the Baron, but I heard that the Duke banned trade between the White Sturgeon Island and the counties of Weilan, making the White Sturgeon Island completely an isolated island overseas."

"At the same time, your actions have also been hostile to the Kingdom of Aaron. Although the Aaron people no longer threaten your life and safety because of the protection of Sage Levin, no one knows how long such protection can last."

"What if Sage Levin gets seriously ill or something unexpected happens, then the White Sturgeon Island will be very dangerous."

Selena listened carefully, and after listening, she whispered to Rosen: "This potion master is an extraordinary person, but her loyalty is also the most difficult to obtain."

Rosen nodded in agreement, but he really wanted to get the other party's service.

Because the essence of potion science is the chemistry of another world, or the magic chemistry, it has great development potential and occupies an indispensable position in his island development plan.

But for various reasons, he currently lacks knowledge of potion science.

Therefore, Wei Ge, a talent with the most cutting-edge potion knowledge of the current era, is very useful.

But he also knows that he and the princess cannot gain her loyalty even if they talk a lot.

Because this court potion master has a wide range of knowledge and a clear mind, it is not easy to fool.

So it is necessary to introduce external forces.

So he took a step forward and was about to "persuade" when a slightly old voice came from the corner of the hall.

"Your Highness, Baron, we meet again, what a coincidence."

The wandering sage Levin appeared.

Rosen was "shocked", as if he had just discovered the other party, and he immediately walked over with his wife Selena to salute.

"It turned out to be a sage. It is our honor to see you again so soon."

Selena was also very grateful to the sage. Seeing each other again at this time was also full of joy and sincere salute.

Master Levin sat in his seat and accepted the salute of the two people frankly. After learning his identity, everyone in the inn thought it was very normal.

After all, Levin was the couple's savior.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Levin looked at Serena with a smile on his face.

"Most of the nobles in Veran are spineless. Now it's rare to see a princess who is honest and fearless of power. I am very happy and admire her."

"You have already held your wedding in the temple, right?"

"Yes, sage." Serena admitted frankly.

Levin said, "Since Mother Nature has allowed us to meet again, I will give you another wedding blessing."

Just when everyone was very curious, they saw a colorful light ball like crystal slowly condensed at the tip of the wooden stick in Levin's hand.

At first, the light ball was only the size of a sesame seed, but gradually, it grew to the size of an apple and emitted a soft colorful light, like an extremely exquisite gem.

When this light ball appeared, all the mages present, including Wei Ge, were deeply moved.

The five-ring magic power of the sage is the dream of every mage.

As everyone watched, the light ball separated from the staff and slowly floated over Rosen and the princess, eventually turning into strands of light rain that fell on the two.

Just as everyone was puzzled by what it meant, the voice of the sage Levin rang out.

"This is my original five-ring blessing spell, called Levin's Revenge."

"It's very powerful, and it consumed 90% of my mana."

"Whether I live or die, it will always be engraved on your souls and last for 100 years."

"When someone uses a fatal attack on you, this blessing will automatically block the attack for you and generate a very powerful mysterious curse."

"As long as you recite the enemy's name silently in your mind within the next ten seconds, even if this person is hiding in Aaron's Lion Fortress, he will suffer endless misfortune!"

After a pause, he smiled and said: "I also believe that there is no mage in this world who has the ability to lift my blessing."

As soon as these words came out, the look of awe on Wei Ge's face became more intense.

It was obvious that she had been frightened by the sage's spell.

Because the power of the five-ring sage is almost the pinnacle of magic power, no one except the sage himself knows what kind of magic the sage masters.

Even the sages are in a state of mutual awe.

As for other people, they naturally believed in the sage's words.

Rosen looked at everyone's performance and laughed secretly in his heart: 'Hey, the sage's reputation is to bluff people. ’

In fact, although this spell exists, its effect is far from as strong as described. But who dares to easily verify the sage's spell?

He immediately took Selena to salute Levin and thank him.

Levin smiled faintly: "Goodbye, young people."

After saying this, his figure suddenly disappeared into the small hotel, and on the table in front of him, there was still a small half glass of light ale wine that had not yet been drained.

Everyone in the hotel was still immersed in the legend of this world, and everyone's face showed their respect for the sage.

But some people are more passionate than polite, and some people take action directly.

'Click'

Suddenly, the innkeeper stepped forward, grabbed the wine glass the sage drank from, and shouted excitedly.

"The Holy Grail~ This is the Holy Grail that the sage drank from~ Inside is the holy ale that the sage did not finish drinking!"

After saying that, he drank all the ale in the glass in one gulp, and when the other drinkers saw this, they all slapped their thighs jealously.

Those who reacted quickly picked up the stool Levin was sitting on and ran away, shouting as they ran.

"This is the holy stool, and it will be my old Tom's family heirloom from now on!"

Immediately there were people grabbing plates, tables, and even the floor where the sage had stood.

The hotel lobby was in a mess, but it also showed the lofty reputation of Sage Levin among the people of Weiland.

‘Today’s momentum has been good, but we must continue to build momentum in the future to promote Levin as Weilan and even the flawless saint of the Natural Alliance, hehehe. ’

Rosen was thinking this in his mind, but his face was full of 'lucky': "Madam, it seems that Mother Nature is taking care of us."

Selena nodded slightly in agreement: "That's right."

She then turned to look at Wei Ge: "Master, are you still worried now?"

Wei Ge shook her head, she knelt down and saluted: "It's an honor to serve His Highness."

She could see clearly that the remote location of Paddlefish Island was perfect for her to avoid being pursued by the Levand royal family.

The baron was also considered a hero. He married a princess and received strong protection from the sage, so he would naturally find ways to develop his territory.

Therefore, her life in the future should not be too bad.
