“Special technique? It was actually a special technique! It’s no wonder.” Ivan looked at Zhao Hai with a complicated expression, ” “Good, the special technique is good. With this special technique, I don’t have to worry so much about you. By the way, little hai, where are you staying now? Why do you have so much food on hand?”
&Quot; I’m sorry, uncle Ivan, ” Zhao Hai said. &Quot; I can’t tell you. &Quot;
Ivan looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, ” &Quot; forget it. I won’t ask if you don’t want to tell me. But you can’t go out like this. If there are acquaintances, you can recognize them at a glance. Forget it. You can sit here first. I’ll be there in a while. &Quot; Then, he turned around and left the study.
Zhao Hai and Laura exchanged a look and sighed. Zhao Hai shook his head, ” &Quot; it seems like we overestimated our makeup skills. We were recognized just like that. &Quot;
&Quot; I didn’t expect Grand Duke Ivan’s eyes to be so sharp, ” Laura said. &Quot; big brother hai, what do you think Grand Duke Ivan is saying? ”
Zhao Hai shook his head. &Quot; forget it, let’s just take a look. Uncle Ivan doesn’t look like he’s going to do anything to us. Let’s see what he’s up to. &Quot;
Lola nodded. At this time, the door of the study was pushed open again. Ivan came in with a box and a few pieces of paper in his hands.
Ivan walked to Zhao Hai and said, &Quot; little hai, I didn’t have the ability to help you before, but now I do. However, for the sake of the whole family, I can’t help you too openly. This is what I can do for you. There are three elven magic masks in this box. With this, you don’t have to worry about your makeup. This is an identity written on the paper. Although it’s just an ordinary Viscount, it’s enough for you to travel outside. I prepared this Viscount identity for a servant in the family to use this identity to do things for me. Now, I just need to change my age slightly. You can use this identity in the future, and you don’t have to be afraid of being investigated.”
After he finished speaking, he placed the items in his hands on the table. The box was opened, and there were three masks as thin as silk wings inside. Each mask had some mysterious symbols drawn on it.
The papers were The Viscount’s identity, and there was a family badge on the paper.
Ivan was the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Versailles. According to the laws of the empire, he was allowed to grant titles of nobility, but he could not grant titles above the rank of Earl. He could not even grant titles of Earl. At most, he could only find titles of Viscount, Baron, and Lord.
Zhao Hai didn’t expect Ivan to give them these things. They were exactly what they needed, especially the elven mask.
The elven mask was a magic mask made by the elves. No one knew what the elves used to make this mask, but when it was put on a person’s face, it would seem as if it was on the person’s face. No matter if the person was washing their face or doing something else, the mask didn’t need to be taken off. The mask also had the ability to transform into five different faces. It didn’t need any energy to activate, as long as the person wore it on their face.
Of course, these things were not very common. On the continent, only a few large families had them, and there were not many of them. The Versailles family had only obtained these three elven masks because of a fortuitous encounter.
The title of Viscount was just as important to Zhao Hai and the others. Right now, they could not use their identities as part of the Buda family or the Laura magicians family. The only identity they could use was that of a magician. As they did not have an official title of nobility, it was a bit embarrassing.
The Viscount title was different. Although The Viscount title was considered a low rank among the nobles, it was because of this that it was not suspicious. Some merchants from various countries would try to get a low rank title for the convenience of traveling on the continent, such as Viscount, Baron, and so on. Although these titles were very low, they were recognized by the entire continent, which was very convenient for them to travel on the continent.
Ivan could tell that Zhao Hai wanted to travel the continent as a merchant, so he gave Zhao Hai the title of Viscount. Just like he said, this title was prepared for a loyal servant in his mansion. Zhao Hai had all the identities and backgrounds, except for the age difference. However, it could be changed.
This kind of thing was very common on the continent. All the great nobles would choose some capable and loyal people from their family servants and give them a title of nobility. Then, they would let them help the family do things. This way, not only would it increase the strength of their own family, but it could also win over the hearts of people.
Ivan would prepare a few titles every year. The one he had just taken out was one he had prepared a while ago. He had just changed the name and age so that Zhao Hai could use it. The name was Weyers and the age was 20.
Zhao Hai looked at the items on the table and felt grateful. Just as Ivan had said, this was all he could do to help Zhao Hai. Although Ivan was the patriarch of the Versailles family and held great power, he still had to consider his own family. Even if he wanted to help Zhao Hai, he had to consider the situation. After all, Zhao Hai had a large family behind him.
&Quot; thank you, uncle Ivan, ” Zhao Hai said, ” these things are too important to me. You know my current situation. I can’t do much in the Arkas Empire, so I want to go to the Rosen Empire to see if there’s any progress. &Quot;
Ivan thought for a moment and said, ” alright, it’s good to go to the Roson Empire. Although the situation there is complicated, the opportunities there are also great. The business there is much more developed than the Arkas Empire. If you sell some special things there, it won’t attract any attention. It’s a pity that I don’t have any friends in Carson City, so I can’t help you. &Quot;
“You’ve already helped me a lot,” Zhao Hai said with a smile,”by the way, uncle Ivan, I’ll give you something as well.” With a flip of his hand, a portal bag appeared in his hand. He handed it to Ivan and said, ” “Uncle Ivan, this is an interspatial bag. There’s ten cubic meters of space inside. You can have it.”
Ivan was stunned. He knew that the Buda family did not have any invisible storage equipment, but Zhao Hai was giving one to someone. If he was not sure that the person sitting in front of him was Adam, he would have thought he had the wrong person.
Ivan nodded and put away the bag. &Quot; “Are you really going to the territory of the icksa family? What are we going there for?”
&Quot; when I was doing business at the orc Plains, I met Ebel, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; I talked to him about a business deal. I’m going there to confirm it. &Quot;
Ivan frowned and said,”Ebel?” Why are you working with this person? “This person isn’t easy to get along with. Laura, what’s going on?” Adam, no, little hai doesn’t know, but don’t you know who this Iber is?”
Laura smiled. &Quot; don’t worry, uncle Ivan. Of course I know who this Ebel is. However, our cooperation with him is to sell him the item. There’s nothing else. Don’t worry. &Quot;
Ivan nodded. &Quot; anyway, you have to be careful of Ebel. By the way, you’ve exposed Xu Wanying’s identity this time. Will it cause you trouble? ” How are you going to resolve this?”
Zhao Hai smiled and explained his solution. Ivan nodded, ” “Okay, we’ll do as you say. How about this, I’ll release the news tomorrow that you’re a magician and you’re doing business in the orc prairies. Xu Wanying was injured and ran to the orc prairies to be saved by you. You’re here to get the title of nobility from me. What do you think?”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said,”won’t this make people suspect my identity?” After all, Zhao Hai has worked with you before. If I suddenly cooperate with you now, will it make those people suspicious?”
Ivan smiled. &Quot; don’t worry, it won’t happen. This kind of thing happens a lot every year. No one will suspect anything. Also, you’re going to Carson City in the Roson Empire, and Ryan is going there as well. Let her go with you. You can take care of her for me. &Quot; Ivan said with a cunning smile.
Zhao Hai and Laura were both stunned. Zhao Hai patted his head in distress and said, ” &Quot; uncle Ivan, I have to remind you that I’m already engaged, and I have two fiancées. One is Laura, and the other is meg. I’ve already broken off the engagement with Ryan. &Quot;
Ivan smiled bitterly. &Quot; of course I know. I never thought of letting you marry Ryan. I also know that Ryan is not good enough for you. But hai, I let Ryan follow you this time to cover up your identity. It will make people think that there is something between you and Ryan. That is why I gave you the title of nobility. This way, you can get the title with more justification. &Quot;
Ivan had no other choice. Everyone in the entire Versailles Duchy knew what kind of person Ryan was. Laura had been in the Duchy for a long time, so she naturally knew what kind of person Ryan was. With Zhao Hai’s current strength, even the princess of the heavens, Laura, had become his fiancée. What right did Ryan have to marry Zhao Hai?
Ivan couldn’t help but sigh. Zhao Hai used to be a Playboy, but now, he had grown up. Ryan, on the other hand, had become a man of his own. Ivan couldn’t bear it.
Zhao Hai saw Ivan’s determination and nodded. &Quot; &Quot; alright then, but if we wear our masks tomorrow, Ryan won’t be able to recognize me, right? ”
&Quot; don’t worry, ” Ivan said with a smile. &Quot; I’ll tell Ryan. &Quot;
