Start with Island Lord

Chapter 23 Hey~ young man~

Late at night.

Harbor District, near the Blue Whale Mansion, a temporarily requisitioned apartment.

"Are you sure it's in the Blue Whale Mansion?"

The speaker was a short and fat old man with an ordinary face, but with a pair of amber green eyes shining with a faint light.

This is the unique eye color of the upper class nobles in Aaron.

"Sure!"

The person who replied was a young man under 30 years old, his body hidden in the dark, the only thing that can be seen is a pair of strange eyes jumping with blood-red flames.

"Master, we have informed Shahram of the situation."

"We respect him, and he also made a promise wisely that he would expel the baron from the mansion as soon as the chess game is over."

The old man snorted coldly, with a complicated look on his face.

"Knowing that we are chasing him, not only did he not run away, but he also dared to participate in the victory chess game, and he was about to win the championship. He is really capable."

If this baron was an Aaron, he would definitely find a way to take him in as an apprentice and train him well.

What a pity~

The young man sneered: "In my opinion, he is capable, but he is also a conceited person! And he will soon pay a heavy price for his arrogance."

The old man shrugged: "Has the mansion been surrounded?"

"It has been surrounded tightly. Not to mention people, even rats in the sewer can't get out, but..."

"But what?"

The young man's tone was a little hesitant: "A large number of Weilan civilians gathered near the Blue Whale Mansion, many times more than normal."

"We investigated the cause and found that a noble lady of unknown origin posted a notice to find a cat. I feel something is wrong, it seems to be coming for us."

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly: "Coming for us? Using a group of civilians?"

"Uh~~ Too many civilians may interfere with our capture. After all, that slippery duke asked us to keep a low profile."

The young man also felt that this matter was unreliable.

The old man showed a disdainful smile on his face.

"We support him, he is the duke. If we don't, he will also be hung on the street lamp within half a year."

"As for those Weilan civilians, they came just in time."

"After we catch the baron, we will hang him in the garden square outside the mansion and let him wail to death in front of those mobs."

"Yes, Master~"

The young man's voice was a little excited, he seemed to like this bloody scene very much.

"Remember, you must capture the baron alive, it is best not to hurt him too badly, and make sure he can experience the last journey of his life."

"As you wish."

The young man was even more excited, like a cat trying to tease a mouse.

At the same time, Blue Whale Mansion.

'Click~Click~'

Rosen was still concentrating on the game with Sir Humphrey.

Under the operation of the two chess players, the chess pieces moved on the chessboard.

When it came to the 50th move, the two sides were still in a balance, and the winner was not yet clear.

But Rosen suddenly smiled and turned to Selena, saying, "Dear, go to the gambling table and prepare to redeem your prize."

Selena had already sensed the unusual atmosphere in the chess room and was fidgeting. After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment: "Are you going now?"

"Yes, go now."

While speaking, Rosen made a move.

Selena was already a little panicked, and seeing Rosen was as calm as ever, she subconsciously did what he said.

Sir Humphrey was angry and snorted coldly: "Sir, you underestimate me too much, don't you?"

Rosen made another move and smiled faintly: "Sir, what about now?"

Humphrey frowned, feeling great pressure, and immediately put his attention back on the chessboard.

On the other side, Selena turned and walked towards the prize redemption table, and the black iron guards hidden in the crowd immediately followed, faintly surrounding Princess Selena in the middle.

At the chess table, Sir Humphrey no longer had the energy to speak, and focused on the chessboard.

Rosen, however, was strolling leisurely, dealing with Humphrey while paying attention to the changes in the chess room.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed, and the two had played more than twenty moves each.

Sir Humphrey's forehead was already oozing with fine beads of sweat, and the balance on the chessboard had been broken, and the balance of victory was clearly tilted towards Rosen.

The chess game was coming to an end.

At this time, another Aaron Night Guard quietly left the chess room.

At the same time, the Black Iron Guard did the same thing.

Rosen saw all this and knew the thoughts of both parties.

The Night Guard naturally planned to block him outside the mansion, and the Black Iron Guard, of course, was to control the situation to prevent it from getting out of control.

As for him, a little baron, no one would care about his life or death.

Rosen, with a smile on his lips, dropped the last piece on the chessboard.

"Sir Humphrey, it's over."

There were actually five moves left before the real end, but if it really came to that step, it would be equivalent to a slap in the face, which was not decent.

Sir Humphrey could naturally see the dead end on the chessboard, and he let out a long breath.

"Everyone says that the world is like chess. If you can play a good game of chess, you can also be an excellent lord."

"If the lord can return to the territory alive, his future prospects should be much better than your father's."

"What a pity."

Obviously, he thought Rosen would die.

Rosen smiled calmly.

"How can the world be so simple."

"Whether a thing can be successful in the end depends on hard work and the favor of Mother Nature."

After that, he stood up and took off his hat to Sir Humphrey.

"Sir, there are too many flies disturbing us today. If we are lucky enough to meet again, I hope we can talk about the situation on the continent."

Sir Humphrey surrendered and stood up to return the greeting: "May Mother Nature bless you."

The referee of the chessboard immediately announced loudly.

"This chess king competition is over. Sir Helic from the Kingdom of Levender has become the victorious chess king today!"

'Hua La Hua La Hua La~~'

The audience began to applaud, and at the same time, a servant came to lead Rosen to the podium.

Surprisingly, Master Shahram was there in person.

He personally put a Dawn Bank deposit check with a value of 2100 Ogg in Rosen's hand.

At the same time, Rosen heard the master of magic whispering in his heart.

"Baron, you shouldn't have come."

Rosen looked up at Master Shahram.

This master is just over fifty years old, and his magic power has reached the middle and late stages of the fourth ring. Although his hair is a little gray, it is still thick, and his dark green eyes are as bright as torches.

"In the garden square outside the mansion, at least 50 night guards are waiting for you."

"Have you thought about how to get rid of the hounds?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "It's a bit difficult, Master, are you going to help me?"

Shahram shook his head: "I remain neutral in this matter, so I won't take action."

"But I heard that your marriage with the princess is only the Duke's canonization, and it has not been favored by Mother Nature. So, if you want to save your life, you can reveal your true identity here, and then publicly announce your refusal to the Duke's order."

"This is probably the only way."

If Rosen is really just a newly graduated magic apprentice, this is indeed the only way to save his life.

Actively giving up the princess and publicly refusing the Duke's face will cost the succession qualification of the Baron of White Sturgeon Island, and even no longer be able to gain a foothold in Weilan Island.

Unfortunately, he is not a junior apprentice.

He had been patient for ten years to accumulate strength and knowledge, not just to save his life.

He also wanted to use these skills to do something big.

So he turned his head and looked at Princess Selena not far away, who was looking at him with an extremely worried and even desperate look.

Obviously, she was fully aware of the current situation.

A thought flashed through Rosen's mind quickly.

"The plan has reached the most critical step, and everything that should come has come."

"Then let's start the show!"

As his thoughts surged, he bowed slightly to Master Shahram.

"Master, thank you very much for your advice, but it's too late."

Shahram was stunned: "Too late? What does that mean?"

Rosen grinned and whispered in his heart: "I have won the favor of His Highness."

Shahram's eyes suddenly widened, he took a breath, and his face was full of disbelief.

Rosen shrugged slightly: "I can't turn back, Master."

Master Shahram sighed lightly: "Ah~ young man."

After saying this, he didn't look at Rosen again, turned around and left the podium.

Obviously, Rosen in his eyes was dead.

Rosen also turned around, walked through the crowd, and walked quickly to Selena.

Halfway, the black-clad iron guards who hid their identities seemed to want to stop him from approaching Selena, but for some reason, these people didn't take action in the end.

They just watched Rosen walk to the princess again.

"Did you get the money?" Rosen asked.

Selena was full of anxiety and didn't notice the secret abnormality around her. She nodded: "I got the full amount, 19,000 Ogg, 19 deposit slips, one for 1,000 Ogg, all in the bag."

Rosen handed over the deposit slip for 2,100 Ogg: "Put this in the bag too."

Selena wanted to say that all this was meaningless, but she couldn't bear it, so she could only put the deposit slip away silently.

Rosen came forward and hugged her gently like a husband hugging his wife, whispering in his heart.

"Madam, you understand the current situation, right?"

Selena looked anxious: "Let's go to Master Shahram for help."

Obviously, she knew.

Rosen shook his head: "It's useless. The master just told me not to care about it."

"Madam, listen to me. If you don't want to marry Danger, when chaos occurs, go out of the back door of the chess room immediately. Someone will pick you up and take you away quietly."

"Ah, what will you do then?"

"Don't worry, I've already prepared to escape."

After saying this, Rosen suddenly let go of Selena, took a few big steps back to the center of the chess room, and before he stood still, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

"Sword!"

'Clang~~'

A golden light appeared from the equipment rack in the corner of the hall, and a dazzling golden light rushed into Rosen's hand.

It was his knight's guard sword.

With the sword in hand, Rosen pointed the sword to the sky.

"Dark sky!"

A black light spread in all directions at a very fast speed with the tip of the sword as the center, and almost swallowed up all the light in the chess room in the blink of an eye.

Although it was only a low-level spell, the momentum was very terrifying.

The entire chess room suddenly became completely dark, and the audience who were leaving the room suddenly became very panicked. There were a lot of screams in the crowd, and they ran around like headless flies.

The chess room became a mess.

At the moment of darkness, Selena remembered Rosen's words. Although she was full of anxiety, she subconsciously walked towards the back door of the chess room.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard an old roar from somewhere in the darkness.

"Darkness retreat~~"

'Hua La~~'

The dark sky that just enveloped the whole place faded away at lightning speed, and the chess room regained light again.

It was the magic master Shahram who took action personally.

Selena suddenly worried about Rosen's safety.

Because his action just now was a blatant challenge to the majesty of the magic master, and even Aaron Night Guard was afraid to do so.

She immediately turned her head to look at the center of the chess room, but she only saw Rosen's back quickly moving away.

He used the wind walk spell and was rushing towards the main exit of the chess room at a very fast speed.

At the same time, Master Shahram was raising his staff at him and roaring.

"Little Baron, you shouldn't run wild in my territory!"

Selena was shocked, and many thoughts popped up in her mind in an instant.

"He either lied to me or overestimated his own strength. He must have lied to me. He is just a low-level wizard. How could he be able to escape the pursuit of Aaron's Night Guard!"

"He will definitely be tortured to death by Aaron's Night Guard. It's my fault!"

"I can't stop this, but I can die with him!"

As soon as this thought came out, Selena immediately began to summon her Sleeping Beauty Staff.
