"Teacher Jino, how do you think of my technique?"
Jino’s nose tingled, and he subconsciously retorted:
"For you, this is indeed quite an advancent."
This was the highest praise he could give.
Louis didn’t make it difficult for him.
He just smiled and waved the weapon in his hand, saying:
"I hope everything goes smoothly on the way to Tunisia."
Jino laughed and said:
"What unexpected things could possibly happen?"
Though only two years had passed, the overall situation of the Ense Empire had improved significantly.
The most dangerous tis were over, and prosperity reigned throughout the empire.
Most of the empire’s monsters and specters had retracted their claws, fearing to beco the next target of the empire’s might.
He didn’t believe anyone would dare to challenge the empire at this ti.
Louis imdiately stopped him, saying:
"Please, teacher, you shouldn’t say things like that. In my hotown, those who speak like this often encounter misfortune."
Jino burst out laughing:
"Do you really believe in such superstitions?"
Louis said earnestly, "I just want peace of mind."
...
It wasn’t long before the scheduled ti for Louis and Olivia’s journey.
In front of the teleportation array, Beatrice carefully adjusted his collar, then walked over to the little swan, gently rubbing her head, saying:
"This ti, listen to Louis and Lumi in everything, don’t wander off alone."
The little swan pouted and said:
"I know, I’m quite capable now, why are you so worried?"
Beatrice said sternly:
"It’s precisely because you think that way that I worry."
She looked at Louis and said:
"Take care of my sister."
Louis nodded.
After speaking, the two didn’t linger and embarked into the teleportation array with the traveling party.
...
[Location: Tunisian Republic · Royal Capital]
Several days had passed since Louis and his party left the empire.
They were unable to head to the capital imdiately as before.
Olivia had received an invitation to visit a large Mage Tower in central Tunisia to inspect the completion of a digital moisture transport model.
Upon hearing this, Louis decided to join her.
The digital moisture transport model was part of the Giant River Project.
Its initial intention was to efficiently predict weather changes in surrounding areas by controlling atmospheric currents through magical ans.
The first phase of the Giant River Project had comnced.
In the Ense Empire, the White Tower had long known the empire’s plans for the coming years and prepared the digital moisture transport model in advance.
However, Louis hadn’t expected Tunisia to act so swiftly.
Usually, when two countries work together, reaching full agreent often takes ti and negotiation.
But they completed the task faster than Louis imagined.
So much so that they remained in the central Tunisian Mage Tower for several days before finally arriving at the capital.
Soon after arriving in the capital, Louis received a ssage from Lord Rom.
"Sir, everything has been arranged for you here."
At this ti, Louis, staying in a hotel, had already changed into Mayer’s attire, and said to Lord Rom:
"Well done."
This ti in Tunisia, he once again assud dual identities.
But unlike his previous trip with Beatrice’s group,
Mayer Comrce Association hadn’t initiated national-level comrcial cooperation with Tunisia yet.
Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to travel with His Highness the Prince under the Mayer identity.
Moreover, the group traveling with him was relatively small.
If just one person was missing, it would be noticeable to others.
To prevent any clever individuals from linking Mayer’s true identity with Louis, he had Lord Rob forge evidence of his activities in another small country.
He also arranged for a body double to impersonate him, transported to Tunisia from that small country.
This way, "Mr. Mayer" as a private identity arrived in Tunisia’s lands, without attracting unnecessary attention associated with Louis’s group.
But what he didn’t expect was that as soon as he arrived, he received a letter from Joseph Williams sent to his residence.
The little swan tried to peek at the letter sent by Williams.
Louis blocked her face with a palm, pushing her back.
"Don’t ss around, I need to see what’s going on."
This ti, they were staying at a hotel that specialized in receiving VIP guests.
Recently, Louis had been making fixed investnts with his earnings.
As Mayer, he applied at the real estate center in the Tunisian capital, hoping for a place to stay here.
When the Williams Family learned about this, they offered their assistance.
Ultimately, through complex and ticulous ans, he acquired a dilapidated Count’s family mansion.
After acquiring it, Louis arranged for the local Mayer Comrce Association manager to renovate the mansion.
When Louis arrived, he used the excuse that he had arrangents with "Mr. Mayer" to stay in the continuously maintained mansion.
What surprised him was that Joseph Williams hadn’t imdiately contacted him, but chose to reach out to Mayer first.
Joseph couldn’t possibly know Mayer’s true identity, but his eagerness suggested he needed a favor.
Sure enough, upon opening the letter, he saw a line of text.
"Dear Mr. Mayer,"
"Previously, His Highness the Prince enthusiastically introduced you to as a distinguished figure in the comrcial domain."
