Start with Island Lord

Adam the sheep lay flat on the floor.

Selena stood beside him, her hands spread out in front of her, and her palms gradually glowed with a faint yellow light condensed like water.

This light fell on Adam like a spring drizzle, and quickly penetrated into his body, stabilizing the deformation effect on the sheep bit by bit.

About ten minutes later, Selena slowly withdrew her hand and exhaled for a long time. There was obvious fatigue on her face, and her body was a little unsteady.

Rosen immediately stepped forward to support her: "Madam, thank you for your hard work."

He knew that the high-level constancy spell was very difficult to cast. It not only required great concentration, but also consumed a lot of mana.

When casting spells with bare hands, a high-level mage can cast them at most three times a day.

Because of this, whether it is going to the mage guild to buy a scroll of constancy or asking a mage to help release the constancy, the price is very expensive.

So, he promised: "When we get the money, we will buy the staff immediately."

Selena nodded slightly: "Okay."

After resting in Rosen's arms for a few more minutes, his eyes regained their brightness.

“I wonder how much this beautiful sheep could be sold for?”

Rosen smiled slightly: "That depends on how it is sold."

"You seem to have an idea. Can you tell me?"

"Madam, there is a saying in the business world that it is better for a merchant to come to your door than to beg for it. So, we have to let Dalette beg us to sell."

Selena is also a very smart person. Her eyes lit up: "So, we are going to put on a play?"

"That's right, a tragic play."

Without Selena's participation, Rosen would of course have deceived Dallet, and the probability of success would have been higher.

But now that Selena is here, he feels a little guilty.

Because Selena's acting skills are not professional, if something happens to her, her work will be in vain.

In order to reduce the possibility of failure as much as possible, Rosen made up a "sex scene" for Selena that did not require too much acting skills.

Selena became more and more interested: "It sounds very interesting. How to do it specifically?"

Rosen had already thought about it and started introducing it immediately.

"Madam, you happened to be tired, so you lay down on the bed and pretended to be sick, as much as possible, as if you had a terminal illness."

"I like this, hehe."

She immediately ran to bed and lay down.

Rosen walked over and inspected it carefully: "The outer skirt is of such high quality that I must take it off, leaving only the inner skirt. Yes, that's it."

He took the expensive outer skirt into the closet and hid it carefully, then returned to the bed and carefully tucked Selena into bed.

"Now, I have to cast another transformation spell on your face to disguise you as a pale, weak and dying middle-aged woman, okay?"

Selena nodded: "Of course, but will this be seen through by Dallet?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Madam, don't you believe in my transformation skills?"

Selena shrugged: "Well, I forgot that my little husband is a master of shape-shifting."

Rosen repeated his old trick and asked Laifu to create twenty faces in a row, select the most typical one, and carefully change it for Selena.

Soon, Selena became a beautiful middle-aged woman about thirty-four or five years old who was tortured by illness and seemed to be dying in the next moment.

The key point is that this face is eighty-nine times similar to Adam's, and one can tell at a glance that the two are mother and son.

Then, Rosen transformed himself into a young man in his twenties, with a simple and honest appearance, and a miserable look on his face.

Another key point is that the face looks nothing like Adam's.

Selena blinked: "Rosen, why are you still younger than me after the transformation?"

Rosen also winked at her: "Madam, because that's how the script is written."

Without further explanation, he took out the herbs he had prepared before, boiled them on the stove in the room, and gave instructions at the same time.

"Madam, this is herbal juice for treating pulmonary edema, so you have to cough a few times from time to time. It is both a disguise and a way to interrupt questions that may lead to revelations."

As he spoke, he handed over a white handkerchief stained with some red berries.

"Hide it carefully and cough hard, then let them see the 'blood stains' on the handkerchief."

Selena complied, but was a little unimpressed.

"Rosen, are you sure Dalette can really observe things so carefully?"

Rosen's eyes narrowed, and his expression quickly became serious.

"Madam, the first principle of deception is to do everything possible to get closer to the truth."

"Because only the truth can withstand all-round, blind-edge criticism."

"Because of this, any effort to get closer to the truth will not be in vain. It is likely to quietly save the situation at an inadvertent angle and at an inadvertent moment."

As he spoke, he went back and forth in the room to arrange various details, and it took half an hour before the announcement was completed.

Selena commented: "I almost thought I was really sick."

Rosen was not satisfied yet: "You perform now and let me see if there is anything unreasonable."

"OK."

Selena started to act, coughing hard.

After hearing a few words, Rosen shook his head and gave detailed instructions.

"You're trying too hard. You're almost dead. How can you get so much strength? Be gentle."

"No, no, you act too relaxed."

"It's not just that the strength becomes smaller, it's that you want to use more force, but you can't use it because your body is weak, and you end up with the appearance of low strength."

"Oh, it's almost as strong now, but that's not how you cough with pulmonary edema."

"You can't just cough in your throat, you have to cough in your lungs!"

"Every time I cough, my whole body trembles, as if I'm coughing with all my strength, and even want to cough out my lungs."

"Oh~ That's right!"

Rosen snapped his fingers and praised generously.

"Madam, you learned it in a flash, you are so smart~"

Selena was very happy, but after being happy, she felt strange: 'Why am I like a little girl who got candy?'

So she glared at Rosen and said dissatisfiedly: "Rosen, don't praise me like a little girl!"

Rosen laughed and continued: "Now, I will explain the relationship between the three of us in detail, you remember it carefully."

"You say."

Rosen carefully told the story he had made up, and asked Selena to repeat it again. After confirming that it was correct, he took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it.

"Well, it's almost time."

"At this time every day, Darlett goes to the lobby on the first floor for afternoon tea. I'll take our 'child' to meet him now."

Selena felt that this statement was not quite right, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be okay.

While she was struggling, Rosen had already taken Adam's hand, left the room 'worriedly', and walked towards the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

They soon arrived at the end of the hall.

It was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people in the lobby. They sat in groups of three or two, and everyone was talking politely in a low voice.

Rosen looked around quickly, and sure enough, he saw the rich merchant Sir Darlett in the corner.

He glanced and quickly retracted his gaze, and with a 'sad face', he took the 'cute and silent' little boy and sat down at the table five or six meters away from Darlett.

Before he sat down, he felt many eyes sweeping over him, and these eyes would eventually fall on Adam.

There was no way, this 'child' was too beautiful, and it had a natural eye-gathering effect.

Normal people would take a look and then quickly look away, but there was one person who stayed for a long time and followed Adam's figure.

It was Darlet!

Rosen was slightly happy in his heart: 'The fish noticed the bait. '

As Adam's father, Rosen 'naturally' noticed Darlet's unusual attention to his child.

He turned his head and nodded politely, then like a father, he instinctively pulled the 'child' behind him and blocked Darlet's sight with his body.

After waiting for a while, the hotel attendant came over to ask.

"Sir, what do you want?"

Rosen shook his head: "Nothing, we just came out to get some fresh air."

"Okay, sir, just tell me if you need anything."

The attendant left with a little contempt, and he could see at a glance that the guest was in financial distress.

Rosen shrank his body, showing a humble look of self-esteem being damaged but having to restrain his anger.

He sat in silence, frowning and pursing his lips, as if he had encountered some insurmountable difficulties.

After sitting in silence for about three minutes, he sighed for the third time with a sad face, and then he heard footsteps behind him.

After a while, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind: "Sir, are you having problems?"

It was Darlett.

It can be heard that he tried to make his voice gentle, but it still revealed a sense of frivolity.

Rosen was secretly happy: 'Hey~ I came here after three calls, are you so impatient? '

He turned his head and looked at him, with a 'vigilant' look in his eyes: "Sir, do you have anything to do?"

"Nothing."

Darlett smiled gently and sat down in the empty seat next to Rosen. His eyes swept across Rosen's face, and then fixed firmly on Adam's face as if attracted by a magnet.

"Is this your son?"

"Yes."

"But he doesn't look like you at all."

"He's my stepson."

"Why doesn't he talk?"

"He's a mute."

"Oh~ What a pity. You just said that he's a stepson, but what about his mother?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"I'm just curious, can you tell me?"

Rosen sighed, his face as dark as gathering clouds.

"Her mother is sick, seriously ill. I've spent almost all my money on her medical treatment, but her condition hasn't improved at all."

"I love her, I can't watch her die in front of me, I can't~~~"

Speaking of this, Rosen raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Dallet also sighed, his face full of sympathy, but his eyes were still fixed on Adam's face.

"Oh~ It's so tragic. Can you take me to see your wife?"

"What do you want to do?"

Rosen looked alert.

"I am a sympathetic gentleman. I want to see the poor woman. Maybe I can help her."

Rosen was even happier: 'You are so quick to bite the hook! '

He 'hesitated' for a while, but finally nodded.

"Sir, you look like a good person. I will take you to see her."
