"Another world?"
Luo De pressed down his emotions, with a hint of surprise on his face, he asked, "What is another world?"
"It's a world inhabited by various intelligent beings, just like ours, and their world might have all kinds of materials."
"How fascinating..."
Luo De couldn't help but marvel.
His expression remained calm, but his heart was churning inside.
What kind of another world is it?
Is there a world like my previous life?
Is it related to my arrival here?
Various questions filled Luo De's mind.
Lusen didn't give Luo De a moment to daze off and said, "So, Lord Baron, you don't need to worry about the lack of resources."
"There are still many secrets in this world awaiting our exploration."
"However,"
Lusen glanced at the Man Xiu caravan gradually disappearing from sight,
"Lord Baron, this Man Xiu probably won't need Lizardman corpses for a long time. If you have more Lizardman corpses, perhaps you can sell them to other merchants."
"Hmm, I know."
Luo De nodded.
The high price of Lizardmen comes from their scarcity.
Man Xiu obtained a lot of Lizardman skins and scales from Lusen, enough to make hundreds of decorative items.
Unless they can be sold to the Western Alliance, they won't be sold out in a short time.
Lusen turned back, smiling, "You can also leave them all to us in the Dawn Society, we won't slash prices."
"As long as the price isn't cut, I'd gladly agree," Luo De responded readily.
The two stood on the slope, staring at the snow-melting patchwork of the Desert, falling into a peaceful silence.
After a long while.
"Lord Baron, may I ask you a question?" Lusen suddenly inquired.
"Hmm?"
Luo De stared at Lusen, waiting curiously.
Lusen hesitated for a moment but couldn't help speaking,
"I didn't seem to see Miss Avril this time, what is she busy with?"
...
...
It's hard for Wizards to conceal anything from each other.
Just like Luo De could sense the magic fluctuations within Lusen, Lusen could also sense those within Luo De.
Lusen could also sense the magic fluctuations within Vivian, who was beside Luo De.
But Vivian's magic fluctuations came and went, leaving him hesitant.
Lusen candidly told Luo De that he also detected more magic fluctuations.
Lusen felt that he and Luo De should be friends, and they should be honest with each other, avoiding deceit behind anyone's back.
Having more Wizards was also something to be happy about.
Therefore, Lusen finally chose to be honest, telling Luo De that he had discovered more wizard apprentices in Frost Leaf Town.
It was meaningless to continue hiding it.
Luo De revealed his small team to Lusen.
When Lusen saw the diverse, differently-tempered people in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Lord Baron, you truly amaze me!"
Lusen's joy was evident, looking at the figures in front of him, he was momentarily speechless.
Lusen solemnly bowed to the four individuals, while Mussen, Sao and others promptly returned the gesture.
"The people under your command, I don't know what kind of Spellcasters they belong to."
"But to be able to cultivate such a team on your own."
Lusen stared at Luo De intensely, "You fully have the qualifications to become a council member of our Dawn Society!"
"Besides strength, your other qualifications are sufficient!"
"Those aren't important."
Luo De was not interested in the so-called council member status, calmly looking at Lusen.
"I want to know, how can I hide the magic inside their bodies?"
"If everyone had your abilities, then with a simple detection, they would all be exposed."
In Frost Leaf Town, it's fine, as there are future walls and military protection.
But if they leave Frost Leaf Town and are discovered for the magic inside their bodies, it's not a pleasant situation.
Especially with the Church's existence.
"I understand your concerns, rest assured."
Lusen promised, "When I return to the Dawn Society, I will apply for Secret Badges for them."
"Those badges will hide magic below wizard apprentice level, making it undetectable unless one gets really close."
"Such things exist?" Luo De breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, we will issue such badges to every member of the Dawn Society."
Lusen explained, "Its materials are relatively simple. The scales and the blood of Lizardmen can be used, they're one of the main materials."
"But wearing it adds a bit of irritability and comes with a slight smell."
"That's why I don't carry them with me when I come here."
Without any hesitation, Luo De said, "Hiding magic is more important, we can tolerate these small inconveniences."
Although two little girls might not like it, they have to wear it.
"We haven't joined the Dawn Society, I'll cover the expenses,"
Before Lusen could speak, Luo De stated directly, "Let's use Lizardman corpses instead."
"No, no, no, Lord Baron, this is our care for fellow Spellcasters."
Lusen shook his head repeatedly, "Even without joining the Dawn Society, we'll provide such basic protection."
"The rise of the Extraordinary requires the collaboration of every Spellcaster, and our Dawn Society is willing to be a pioneer."
"Alright."
The actions of the Dawn Society moved Luo De.
Luo De didn't ponder further, he quickly responded.
"Then I'll give you four Lizardman corpses as my gift and support, unrelated to business."
"Thank you, Lord Baron."
Lusen bowed deeply.

The Desert, baptized by the harsh winter, gradually thawed, as the sun descended, bringing a touch of spring.
