Half a month later, inside a villa in the center of Hogg City. Fare

Sean yawned and slowly opened his eyes.

The rune lamps on the ceiling glowed softly white, and Sean sat up, the clothes on the side of the bedside table suddenly floating, slicing a parabola in the air and falling on top of him.

After a moment's pause, until his consciousness was no longer in a trance, Sean turned his head to look at Celia, who was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly poked her face with his finger playfully.

The soft touch comes from the fingertips.

Celia muttered, and woke up from her sleep, a reassuring smile immediately on her face when she saw her master's close face.

"Well, master, you're awake, please let Celia dress you."

Sean nodded slightly, and with the help of Celia, put on a slender mage robe, and waited until both of them were fully dressed, and the curtains of the room were slowly opened. Fare

……

Leaning against the window, Sean narrowed his eyes and felt the early morning aether fluctuations with his mental power.

In the slightly warm sunlight, he unconsciously entered a meditative state.

It's been nearly five years since Sean was stuck in the 19th grade, and he hasn't encountered such a difficult bottleneck since Sean became a pro.

However, although it is difficult, it is only relative to the previous level, in fact, with the support of Sean's strong talent, he has vaguely touched the threshold of the official level.

Maybe it only takes a small opportunity for him to break free from the prison and usher in sublimation.

That day is not too far away. Fare

……

Pushing open the door and descending the stairs, Sean planned his agenda for the day as he walked.

Haythami's Ocean Blue Chamber of Commerce has grown well over the years, not only earning Sean a lot of gold, but also greatly spreading his influence, helping a lot in collecting magic books.

Of course, there were a lot of troubles during this period, but after Sean showed his strength, everything seemed to be going smoothly again.

Those greedy and timid nobles only dare to wield butcher knives at the weak, but they will maintain enough respect for the strong, as long as they understand this law, they can reduce a lot of trouble.

……

Soon, Sean arrived at the dining room, and along the way, the maid who saw Sean would put down what she was doing and bow as he walked by, and did not resume her work until he left. Fare

Although Sean didn't care about these things, Celia and Estelle showed great concern about it, and even set rewards and punishments to train these maids to be extremely well-behaved.

Upon entering the dining room, Sean sat down at the table as usual.

The maids had already prepared, and beautiful plates containing food were brought to him.

Even on a normal day, breakfast is not sloppy at all.

The chamber of commerce that provides precious ingredients will deliver the freshest goods to the door at the time specified by the customer, which is not cheap, but it is very popular with nobles and high-ranking professionals.

Celia stood aside, using a knife and fork to divide the food and bring it to him, and after getting used to this kind of service, Sean rarely did it himself or used mana to do it for him.

"My lord, I have your letter." Fare

As Sean ate his breakfast slowly, Estelle came with an envelope in her hand, which had been delivered not long ago, and a strange pattern was drawn on the seal.

"Huh? It was sent by Evan Scarlett guy, interesting, you take it apart and read the specific content. ”

Sean looked up in surprise and swept the pattern with his mental power.

This thing is called the Aether Seal, and is derived from a special psychic technique that is formed by the caster's own xenomorphic aether mixed with psychic power, and is often used to identify oneself or show ownership of an item.

However, the aether seal on this envelope is based on the pattern on the seal, and incorporates some simple alchemy techniques, once the entire seal is opened, it will be destroyed immediately, which is not a very clever way to keep secrets.

"yes, okay."

Estelle nodded, opened the envelope and pulled out the letter with the Scarlett family crest, and read it softly. Fare

"Your Excellency Sean, it's been about half a year since we last met, and I heard that Your Excellency has been researching a combat alchemy potion recently, I don't know how it's going?

This letter is mainly entrusted by Earl Ian Hobbs, and wants to invite you to solve some troubles together, and the specific situation is not enough to go into detail in the letter, but it is expected that there will be no less than twenty apprentice-level professionals involved in this matter in Hogel City, and you need not worry about safety.

In the near future, Earl Hobbes will send someone to visit you personally and explain that the Earl Hobbes is responsible for all matters related to remuneration, and I am sure that you will be satisfied.

I wish you all the best.

Your faithful - Evan Scarlett. ”

……

Gently putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Sean picked up the juice on the side and took a sip, the cold and sweet taste immediately filled his mouth. Fare

He tasted absentmindedly, his mind racing around.

The letter was short, but the meaning was clear.

Obviously, the Earl Hobbes had something that needed the help of a large number of apprentices.

Even Sean, who stayed at home for a long time and rarely participated in social interactions, became the target of the other party's invitation, and even the other party specially asked the Scarlett family to help write a letter to introduce him, looking very solemn.

"Interesting, let's find out first, maybe there is a cheap advantage."

After a moment's thought, Sean's face showed a look of interest.

For so many years, he has been hiding his true professional level, and even the few shots that played a role in Liwei have only reached the point, and the real strength he has shown is not even a third of his strength. Fare

Even if there is really any conspiracy in this invitation, as long as it does not involve the level above the formal level, Sean is sure that he will retreat completely.

What's more, according to Evan, the number of apprentice-level professionals invited by Earl Hobbs is really quite a lot, and in front of so many people, the other party will definitely not dare to play any tricks.

……

The incoming visitor didn't keep Sean waiting.

Less than half an hour after he had finished breakfast, a regular knock sounded outside the door, and Sean swept it casually with his mental power, and then he was surprised to find that the person who came was actually his acquaintance.

"Sir Sean, don't come unharmed."

Upon opening the door, Ainos Riddle's old face appeared in the doorway, his hoarse voice recognizable, and even though he hadn't seen each other for quite some time, Sean remembered it vividly. Fare
