Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 582 - 513: The Marquis Couple’s Decision_2

In reality, as long as one reaches the level of an Upper-Rank Wizard, these creations can be produced endlessly. They don't require expensive silver as a material, consuming only one's own magic power. Fortunately, Aiven is not lacking in money for the moment.

Then, combining the spatial witchcraft of the "Black Spirit School," these two Activated Guards, whose combined strength had fully reached Tier 2 Senior Knight level, were sealed into an [Activated Guard Talisman] and given to Olivia as her bodyguards.

The ultimate creation of the "Black Spirit School" is the [False Mirror Image].

It can create a false world almost indistinguishable from the real one, even dragging an entire city from the real world into the Shadow Realm, turning it into an impregnable fortress.

This leads to a series of powerful explorations of spatial witchcraft.

Similarly reliant on energy, this talisman's energy is the blood of the Shadow Sub-dragon Kaka, not gold.

"Ah——!"

"Monster!"

A moment later, the pirates' wild laughter while dividing the spoils turned into terrified screams. Even the strongest "Iron Bone" William of the "Dragon Cavalry Pirate Gang" was only at Senior Knight level.

On two ordinary Pirate Ships, there were no opponents for them.

By the time Pipi slowed down and approached, the combat had completely ended.

The silver-purple light blossomed once more.

The two intact Activated Guards returned to talisman form, landing back in Olivia's hands.

"Back when we left the New Continent, we couldn't deal with the Pirate Ship under the 'Oathbreaker'. This time, we've come back with a vengeance."

It seems we've come full circle, showing our thoroughness!

Aiven silently gave himself a thumbs-up.

Then, looking at the large amount of wealth on the Atlant merchant ship, Aiven's eyes lit up:

"Just right, I don't need to prepare extra gifts for meeting the parents."

Snap——

He snapped his fingers.

A vast shadow, thick as ink, swallowed the two Pirate Ships and the merchant ship underwater.

With a sufficient supply of nutrients, Kaka's growth rate outpaced Pipi!

...

New Continent, Orange Leaf Castle of Far Sails Territory.

Aiven was already a frequent visitor in the Marquis' private study.

The two returned to the New Continent, stopping here first as they brought Olivia home.

"Brother Aiven, why so formal? You even brought us gifts?"

The young-looking Marquis Duke warmly embraced Aiven while quickly accepting the gift he offered.

"This is... A sheathed knife made by the Sami people of the Atlant Kingdom with reindeer antler handles. What a fine piece!

Natural amber from under the cedar forest, and it's a batch of top-quality blood amber. I remember Nymph called it 'Red Tea Amber,' right?

A top-grade amber that she's always wanted, and we haven't ever had the means to buy a batch."

Undoubtedly, these were the spoils from the Atlant merchant ship. The goods were abundant, and these two items were carefully selected exquisite goods chosen by Olivia, a dear favorite, to cater to her parents' tastes.

The total value already reached close to eight hundred Golden Lions, quite a respectable gift even for a Marquis.

"Haha, just happened to come across them and thought they'd be perfect for you. As long as you like them, it's all good."

Aiven felt the collar of his military uniform was a bit tight, and reached to loosen it.

Having secretly had an intimate relationship with the daughter, Aiven found it difficult at this moment to accept being called brother by Marquis Duke, nor could he call him Brother Duke.

Sitting only half on the sofa, he no longer had the relaxed ease of the past.

The two people were still the same, but their mindset was completely different. This... probably was because they "cared," right?

"Come, come, have some tea, have some tea."

Without calling for servants, Duke personally poured tea for Aiven.

"Let me, let me."

Aiven quickly got up to take the beautifully crafted ceramic teapot.

"Brother, why so courteous today? Is there something you need my help with? Just to let you know, as long as it's not borrowing money, we're still good friends, hahaha..."

The Marquis joked.

Away from the central kingdom, he was not yet aware the Georgia Territory had changed hands. It might take until officials from the homeland came to assist Aiven in taking over, coincidentally sending public letters to the governors, making this event known across the colony.

"No, no. By the way, I just returned to the New Continent and haven't yet been to Hatrafa. How's the development at Mercury Company?"

Not wanting the Marquis to make wild guesses, Aiven quietly changed the topic.

Worried that the two elders might not handle the surprise of their dear daughter being taken well, the two decided to give the Marquis and Marchioness some time to adjust, not revealing the relationship immediately.

Having done what needed doing and what shouldn't have been done, Aiven, the "bad boy" in the eyes of the girl's parents, was now worried whether he would be... chopped together by the two powerful Tier 3 Transcendents.

"Mercury is still doing well. Despite the tense relations between the two countries, smuggling has actually prospered...."

After not seeing each other for a long time, they discussed the current political situation in the kingdom, the experiences from this trip, the development of Far Sails Territory... until evening fell. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

It was only natural to have dinner together in the evening.

At the rich dinner table of the Marquis family, Aiven also met the beautiful Marchioness and Olivia, who had returned earlier.

When making the ship's figurehead on the "Storm Horn," Nymph had already guessed her daughter's whereabouts, with only the slow-minded old father unaware.

This was also a little secret between mother and daughter.

However, at the harmonious family dinner, the two young people seated opposite each other showed a level of intimacy and tacit understanding that suggested they had lived together for years, catching Duke and Nymph's keen senses.

Yet, until dinner ended, neither of them voiced anything. They planned to privately question their daughter, who hadn't been home for over half a year.

As Aiven rose to bid farewell, Olivia, in a casual home skirt, also stood up, secretly signaling to him:

"Aiven, I'll see you out. Don't forget to take the things you left with me."

"Oh, oh, almost forgot."

Aiven was about to take the file folder Olivia retrieved from her bracelet when it "accidentally" slipped and dropped to the ground.

Crackle...

Various documents and receipts instantly scattered across the floor.

Property titles in the Royal Capital, patents for "Bregentine-type" two-masted mixed sail ships, a deposit receipt for a hundred thousand Golden Lions at the Royal Central Bank, a patent certificate for Penicillin, equity documents for Mercury United Trading Company, a five-thousand Golden Lions armament order from the Tempest Church, productivity assessments for organic gemstones, papers for Viscount Galliot's title, ownership proofs for Georgia Territory...

The two hosts about to see Aiven off appeared as if a pause button had been pressed, instantly freezing their motions.

With a sharp gaze inherent to Tier 3 Transcendents like Marquis Duke and Marchioness, they had already seen everything clearly in an instant, not to mention that the documents were strewn in such a way that revealed each one's key points.

Bling——

A sharp flash of light from their eyes made the entire dining room in the castle as bright as day.

Until the two young figures, side by side, disappeared out the door, the Marchioness slightly turned her head:

"Darling, did you see that?"

"Madam, I did. Though the approach was a bit crude, the goods are genuine!"

"Then... I have an important decision to tell you."

"Just right, I do too."
