Start with Island Lord
Chapter 6: Light rises from the ashes, ambition reignites
There are five major districts in Dawn City.
Whether it is Dawn Castle, the Mage Guild Residence, or the Mentor's Azure Manor, they all belong to the noble district, located at the highest point of the city, and are also the most beautiful, cleanest, and most closed districts.
Going down are the four major civilian districts.
They are the old city in the west of the city, the market area in the east of the city, the harbor area in the south of the city, and the temple area in the north of the city.
Selena, who used ordinary transformation to disguise herself as an ordinary citizen, followed Rosen all the way, starting from the Azure Manor, walking along the clean and tidy stone road.
When they reached the triumphal gate leading from the noble district to the civilian district, Selena couldn't help asking.
"Rosen, where are we going now? Harbor District?"
Rosen did not answer with his mouth, but whispered in his mind: "Yes."
Immediately reminded: "From now on, all our conversations must be whispered in the mind."
When he spoke, he leaned against the heavy stone wall of the gate, with his right hand behind his back, and the tips of his thumb, index finger, and middle finger clasped together, and flicked lightly at the hidden corner.
Suddenly, a seal appeared on the wall. It was extremely secretive. Not to mention ordinary people, even the high-level wizard Selena was unaware of it.
This was Rosen's original spell "Detection Guard". It seemed inconspicuous, but it was very powerful and was one of his biggest reliances in walking around the world.
As the name suggests, it was inspired by the MOBA game on Earth, and its function was exactly the same, which was to open the map.
Because of the assistance of Lai Fu in his mind, 50 detection guards can exist at the same time, and the transmission distance of the spell signal is 30 kilometers, which just covers the entire Dawn City.
The effective time lasts for five days, and all situations within 50 meters around can be detected 24 hours a day.
The storm is coming, and intelligence comes first.
In all necessary areas, he quietly printed a seal.
On the other side, Selena didn't understand why Rosen asked so much, but he obeyed.
"Oh, okay, but it feels weird to do this."
"Your Highness, it will be fine after a while."
The two continued to move forward, and when they walked less than a hundred meters, Selena's whisper came.
"Rosen, why don't we hire a carriage?"
Rosen turned his head and looked at her, and saw that she frowned and looked at him with a negotiating expression.
Just at this moment, a strong wind blew, making the soft silk skirt stick to her body.
The outline of the body was clearly revealed, and for a moment, the shape of the belly button could even be clearly seen, as if she was not wearing anything.
Rosen glanced at it, and his blood could not help but surge, and he sighed in his heart.
'It is worthy of being the most beautiful rose under the morning light. '
Of course, although the rose is delicate, the thorns on it are not something that ordinary people can bear.
If it were somewhere else, Rosen would not dare to have any extra thoughts, but Dawn City is different.
He has lived here for ten years and is extremely familiar with everything in the city.
In this city, he has the ability to pick flowers and the ability to get out of it.
Of course, even if he tries his best to avoid it, the sequelae will still be great.
He will try his best to control the sequelae to a level that will not erupt in the short term.
As long as he is given a year to relax and focus on the island for a year, he will not fear anyone.
In order to prevent the delicate princess from being scared off by the hard life of ordinary people, he immediately said: "Your Highness, why don't I carry you on my back?"
In order to avoid rejection, he immediately added: "In the folk, it is very natural for a husband to carry his wife on his back to travel."
Selena bit her lower lip lightly: "Okay, then trouble you."
Rosen continued to travel with the princess on his back.
When they arrived at the harbor area, they encountered a new problem.
Selena looked at the dark muddy puddle in front of her, which was filled with a lot of excrement and colorful oil.
"Rosen, how should you usually go in this situation? Wade directly?"
Rosen smiled: "Usually wade through."
At the same time, he whispered: "Remember to whisper with your heart."
"Will this be too dirty?"
Although she didn't walk by herself, it was hard for her to accept watching Rosen walk.
Rosen smiled slightly:
"Madam, we are mages, of course there is no need to wade across, we can just use the levitation spell to float over."
Before he finished speaking, Rosen kicked his feet slightly, and his body naturally floated two centimeters above the water, just like a goose feather floating on the water.
Then, this "goose feather" seemed to be blown by the breeze, floating along the water surface, without any waves on the way, and people couldn't even feel that he used the levitation spell.
Naturally jumped over the muddy puddle more than five meters wide and stepped on the muddy ground on the opposite side.
Selena was immediately surprised.
"Uh~~uh~~You use the levitation spell very well."
Because even if she had a staff, she couldn't do what Rosen did, not to mention that the other party was carrying someone on his back.
"It's just practiced."
Rosen continued to carry someone on his back and walked forward.
Selena asked curiously: "Where is your staff? I remember you had one before."
"Your Highness, if you know more, you will know that my staff was rented to me by my tutor. Now that I have graduated, I don't have the money to buy it out, so of course I returned it."
"Oh~ I remember, that's exactly what happened."
It was much easier to walk with someone carrying her than walking by herself, which made her feel like observing the street scene.
Although the streets in the harbor area were dirty, they were much more lively than the aristocratic area. They were full of people.
They were of different appearances, some were pretentious, some were poor, some were rude and barbaric, and so on. They were all people she had never met before.
When Rosen carried her on his back and walked past a corner, she suddenly saw a young girl wrapped in a cloak smiling at her in the corner.
Just when she felt puzzled, she saw the girl opened her cloak with a "swoosh", revealing a dry and pale body.
Selena was startled and subconsciously shrank back.
Immediately afterwards, she saw an equally dry middle-aged man passing them and walking towards the girl. After a few words, the two began to have sex in the corner.
"It's just a shameless beast!"
Serena commented angrily after being frightened.
Rosen said calmly: "Your Highness, the girls who trade on the street are the most pitiful."
"Most of them come from the poor countryside in the interior of Weilan. With the dream of changing their fate, they were deceived by human traffickers to Dawn City, but eventually became a money-making tool for the gangs in the harbor area."
"If you observe carefully, you will find that there must be a few men with fierce faces standing near each group of girls."
Selena was stunned when she heard it, turned her head and observed carefully, and found that Rosen was right.
This surprised her: "The Trade Union Law was promulgated ten years ago. Even if they are prostitutes, there is the Nightingale Union to protect their rights."
"If the members of the Nightingale Union are also members of the gang, then the so-called Trade Union Law is just a stack of gorgeous waste paper, isn't it?"
"But everyone says that Dawn City is a paradise on earth."
Seeing her shocked look with shattered beliefs, Rosen had a hunch that the rich bird was about to fly back to the tree of heaven.
This is absolutely impossible. This is the Duke's election declaration he had planned. He finally got it, and he couldn't let her fly away.
"Madam, how can there be a paradise on earth? Under the morning light, only half of the city is bathed in light."
"Isn't there darkness in the Morning Castle?"
Selena sighed softly: "You are absolutely right."
The wings that had just spread out were folded again.
Speaking of this, Rosen came to the dock.
In the weather of late autumn and near winter, the cool wind was blowing.
The dock workers were all naked, gritted their teeth, bent over, and carried heavy goods with all their strength.
The princess looked at them in silence, and after a long time asked: "Rosen, they look very hard, how much money do they make a day?"
Rosen looked at them and narrated the facts in a calm tone.
"The dock workers responsible for unloading the ship can earn 3 copper coins for unloading one ton of cargo from the ship. A strong dock worker can unload about 50 tons of cargo a day and earn 1.5 krones."
"The union takes one-fifth, the dock management takes one-fifth, and usually donates one-tenth to the church, leaving less than one kroner in the end."
At this point, Rosen put Selena on the ground so that she could better see the situation on the dock.
Seeing the other party's expression gradually change from shock to silence, Rosen felt that the other party's passion for so-called love should have cooled down, and it was almost time to add fuel to the fire again.
Selena remained silent.
She stood motionless on the dock, letting the sea breeze blow her thick hair, like a solidified sculpture.
No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
After three minutes, she turned her head and stared at Rosen with her royal green eyes.
"Rosen, I'm conflicted now."
"There are two paths in front of me, neither of which is a good path."
"One is that we both die, and then the fate of countless Weilan people will change because of us."
"The other is that I return to the Dawn Castle and marry Danger."
Speaking of this, the princess' eyes were already full of tears, but the tears were dried by the sea breeze and did not roll down her face.
"You should know that I have a persistent requirement for cleanliness and tidiness, and I hate to see a person in a sloppy state. If a person has not taken a bath for more than 30 years, in my eyes, he is simply a demon crawling out of hell!"
Rosen did know this, Selena was a person with mild mysophobia, so marrying Danger was indeed difficult for her.
Selena's voice continued to come.
"I am in great pain now!"
Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Rosen and sniffed gently.
"But I can't really kill you, so I'll give you a kiss and let this crazy journey end."
Rosen looked at the beautiful Princess Dawn standing in the whistling sea breeze, and couldn't help but think of his past ten years.
After traveling through time and gaining the blessing of the system, he was ambitious and wanted to do something to change the world.
For this goal, he practiced and accumulated mana day after day for ten years, and studied magic day after day.
But as his magic skills became higher and higher, his understanding of this world became clearer and clearer.
The world is really too big, there are too many wise and strong people, and magic is not as powerful as he imagined.
Even if his mana almost reached the limit of the known field, his magic is still far away.
And as far as he knows, even if the magic power and magic are at their peak, it is only the peak of personal practice, far from the power to change the world.
Because this is a world above the kingship!
The flame in his heart was extinguished by the ice water of reality and turned into ashes, and the original plan was shelved.
So he had the mentality of taking advantage of opportunities and lying down when there were no opportunities.
But now, the opportunity has really come!
Looking at Princess Chenxi standing in the wind, the ashes that were once thought to be extinguished are once again blazing.
A thought jumped out of the flames.
"The noble phoenix has already jumped into my arms, how can I let her fly away again?"
In this world, if you only have magic achievements but no noble status, you can't achieve anything big, at most you can be a senior worker for a big shot.
But if you have a noble status and magic achievements, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and you may not be able to fly like a dragon in the sky in the future!
As soon as this thought came out, Rosen's calm mood, which had become calm due to long-term practice, gave rise to uncontrollable waves.
So, the princess must be married!
Rosen grabbed Selena's hand: "Madam, what if I can successfully bring you back to the White Sturgeon Island?"
In fact, if you use magic, you can easily let the princess go back to the island with him.
When the princess is also a high-level magician, the best way to minimize the trouble is to let her go back with him willingly and cooperate with his escape plan.
Therefore, he had to spend some effort to train the princess.
Selena was stunned: "How is it possible? And even if it really succeeds, the Storm Fleet of Dawn City and Aaron's Lion Fleet are not just for show."
Rosen smiled: "Madam, what if I can get rid of these hidden dangers and let King Danger recognize our marriage?"
"I don't believe it!" Selena shook her head repeatedly, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Rosen stood straight, staring at the princess with dark eyes, like a knight who was about to sacrifice his life to protect the princess.
He said solemnly: "Princess, please give me a chance to prove it."
"If I die because of this, I am just an arrogant little baron who doesn't know his own limitations, and you will not be affected in any way. If we succeed, then I will have a happy future, and I will do my best to make you have a happy future too!"
He secretly said in his heart: "This Dawn Princess, I will fight with King Danger for it."
Selena's blood, which had just been extinguished, was ignited again, and many tears appeared in her eyes and slid down along the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, Rosen, you are so stupid. I am stupid too, but I just like big fools like you."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance, but don't worry, unless I die, I will never let you die!"
