Two hours later.

The northern part of the Grexia Empire, northeast of the Dukedom of Yangyan City.

A large number of guards gathered in a clearing that was usually extremely quiet, and several mages in gray robes were nervously casting spells. The circle on the ground was emitting a hazy light.

A flash of bright light flashed.

"I'm back." The crowd let out a shout of surprise.

"Lord Duke," the sharp-eyed guard recognized Duke Hywell at a glance, "and Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The people present had been loyal to the Duke for a long time, and even some of them vaguely knew that the actions of the Lord and the Princess might be dangerous...... But both returned safely.

"Lord Duke, Your Highness the Princess," someone immediately bowed to the two of them, "welcome them back." ”

"Look at your happy face," Duke Hywell also looked quite pleased, "I said it, this time it's a peace envoy mission. ”

The girl was naturally among the duke's ranks. Half a minute ago, she was still in the square of the Black Floating City, watching Mage Aiken manipulate the circle with the assistance of other Floating City mages; Suddenly, she felt a flash of light in front of her, and she was teleported here.

The sky was clear blue, and not a single cloud was in sight. The shadow of a forest looms in the distance. It's just that it's late autumn, and the nearby grass is no longer green, but under the breeze, there are light yellow waves.

[It's really a subtle magic circle," Xiao Wei sighed in her heart-to-heart conversation, "I have been teaching me the teleportation spell by my mother, but I always say that she says that my ability is not enough. 】

After confirming her mother's safety, Xiaowei's words also increased.

[You said before that you were originally a beginner in the blue sky, but after sharing a body with me, you have progressed to the blue sky level, right? Hearing the "teleportation spell", the girl's heart moved.

[Yes,] Xiao Wei said, [Originally, I expected it would take at least two years or more to make further progress, but after you were selected as a secret ritual warrior, even my mental power was fed back and enhanced, allowing me to barely reach the Blue Sky level. 】

[Can you cast a teleportation spell now?] 】

[I'm afraid not," Xiao Wei said cautiously, [Although the teleportation spell is included in the spell book given to me by Mr. Palamedes, the teleportation spell is either in a place that I am very familiar with, or I need to prepare a beacon in advance. I'm completely new to this land, and if I do, I might run somewhere I've never seen before, or even burrow into the dirt. 】

......The girl fell into deep thought.

[That's why I said that this kind of magic circle is precious," Xiao Wei continued her arcane lecture, [Being able to safely transport so many creatures and goods thousands of miles away can only be done by the cooperation of many Blue Ocean mages. 】

[I thought I could make money with the delivery service as logistics,] the girl said regretfully, [It seems that there is no chance.] 】

What is logistics? Xiao Wei complained, [Even if the Duke gives you four thousand gold coins, it won't be enough for us to burn one teleportation technique a day. Don't always assume that mages are rich – most mages are still short of money. 】

[I know that studying spells is a bottomless pit that burns money,] the girl doesn't care, [To put it bluntly, the more money you have, the more opportunities you have to enhance your strength.] Now that we have a lot of money in our hands, how can we do it if we don't pay attention to business opportunities? 】

【uh......】Xiaowei is speechless. Let the mages go straight to business? It's too embarrassing, like Xiaowei's mother, it's good to divide part of her energy into family affairs, and many mages who specialize in research are "deaf to what's going on outside the window".

"That's why John Goth is "the brightest star of the stars," a mage and a businessman," the girl said, "Sometimes, maintaining a mage's reserve is tantamount to a slow suicide." 】

The girl deliberately did not remind Xiaowei that the former Goth had actually temporarily lost the ability to cast spells and was forced to go into business. She hopes that Xiaowei can help her more instead of focusing on her research.

[Nicholas Best is the same,] the girl changed her tone, and her tone became low, [He is a legendary mage, but anyone who mentions his name will first think that he is the leader of a country, or the commander of an army, not a scholar with a dull head of research. 】

Thinking that her mother was still under house arrest for Speaker Nicholas Best, Xiaowei was a little gloomy.

After a while, Xiaowei said, "As long as it is something that can enhance my strength, I will do it." 】

[Thank you.] The girl responded, but suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Is Viviel not suitable for this path? Should she spend her life in the lab reading poetry at her leisure? Did she take advantage of Xiaowei's feelings for her mother and trick her into doing things for herself?

Regardless of whether the two will continue to share a body in the future or eventually separate, she must find a place for Xiaowei to live and live in a place that is truly suitable for her......

While the girl and Xiaowei were secretly talking to each other, Duke Hywell also completed the communication between himself and his subordinates.

"We have to go," he said, turning to the girl, "Baroness Victoria, what are you going to do?" Do you want to go to Sunflame City with us, or do you want to go back to your own territory first? ”

"May I ask how long it will take to get from here to your Yang Yan City?" The girl asked.

"If you use the means of flying, it will only take half a day to arrive," said Duke Hywell, "and I will naturally walk with this large group of people, and even if I rush at night, it will take two or three days at the earliest." Instead, you go to your territory, and now set out eastward, and walk slowly, and it will be at dusk tomorrow at the latest. ”

"In that case," the girl said in as respectful a tone as she could, "I will not bother you any more." ”

"Alright," the Duke smiled and nodded, taking out a brown package and handing it to the girl, "I promise your reward is in the miniature dimensional bag in the package." There are also maps and letters of introduction. How many people do you want to take with you? ”

"No need...... the girl said, taking the dimensional bag.

"But you have to have a guide."

"That ......"

The girl was about to refuse, but found that Princess Linna behind the duke was giving her a wink.

She suddenly understood.

"Whatever I want?" The girl asked cautiously.

"Except for me, you can choose." The Duke said magnanimously.

"That ......" the girl made a deep groan, holding her cheek with one hand, but she didn't reply.

Lin Nake, who was not far away, was in a hurry. She thought that the girl didn't see her eyes, and began to gesture with her hands.

"Can I let Her Highness Lin Na go with me?" The girl couldn't help but laugh. Lin Na's movements became bigger and bigger, and even many of the duke's retinue noticed it.

"Dad...... Adoptive father! Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess said in a loud voice, "How about letting me go with Victoria?" ”

"You've just come back." The Duke frowned, but his tone didn't look like he was angry.

"Victoria is my friend," said Linna, "and I deserve to give her a ride." "She's been in the Floating City for a long time, and she's already suffocated.

"That's why you're wearing this today?" The girl glanced at the female soldier's costume on the company's body. This little girl was definitely premeditated......

Lin Na smiled: "That's right. The two of us girls act together, just like the eldest lady of the family and her guards, and no one will be suspicious. ”

[Her Royal Highness this princess treats you very well. Xiaowei sighed.

[It's just that I'm just tired of the red tape of going back to the city.] The girl complained.

"In that case, I won't stop you two either." Duke Guaner. The girl and Lin Na are both Qingkong-level secret ritual warriors, and they don't need him to tell them to say things like "pay attention to safety".

The duke's men all had a look of helplessness on their faces. They all knew that the adopted daughter of the Duke had been lively and active since she was a child, and when she was not a secret warrior, she often pretended to be a mercenary and an adventurer to run around and get injured when she came back, and she was still the same after recognizing the emperor's father and daughter.

But what is the origin of this Victorian Baroness? It is said that he is a distant relative of the Duke, or a new best friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and is also connected to the Black Floating City......

They do not know that the maiden is the master of the "world of light". Otherwise, they will surely sigh that the empire has another rising upstart.

……

"You're really ......" The girl shook her head when the brigade led by the Duke disappeared into the horizon.

"I was very happy to be able to go to Floating City," Lin Na said boredly, "but I didn't expect to have nothing to do every day." ”

"You two obviously had a big fight." Xiaowei's voice suddenly sounded, startling Lin Na.

She quickly understood what came out of the "Phantom Ring".

"I'll ask Goth to get me one next time." Linna muttered.

"You don't have two souls in your body, what do you want to do with this?" The girl glared.

"Occasionally, I also encounter situations where my mouth can't make a sound," Lin Na's tone was extremely regretful.

"We ...... Can we get down to business first? Xiaowei felt a pang of weakness.

"Yes. Linna, we're not going back to the castle right now. I think...... We need to take a little detour. The girl said.

"Where are we going?" Lin Na looked excited.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Xiaowei was also puzzled.

"Didn't you mention teleportation spells?" The girl showed a cute smile, but there was a hint of cunning in that smile, "With your current ability, as long as you are familiar with the environment or have a beacon, you can accurately teleport?" ”

"That's right......"

"So, can you make beacons now?"

"There are eleven ways to transmit beacons, only two of which are more common, I can only make one now, and the others are ......"

"In that case," the girl was satisfied, "we might as well do that." Here's what I'm going to do......"

The girl paused: "Let's go around the entire territory next, and you have set up beacons at key points in the territory, so that we can appear anywhere in the territory at any time in the future." This allows us to control the entire territory. Can it be done? ”

Xiaowei was frightened by the girl's jumping thoughts.

"Okay. I think it should be fine. After thinking about it for half a minute, Xiaowei still didn't come up with any reason to object, so she had to agree.

"I'm sorry for you, Xiaowei." The girl said gratefully.
