In order to not seem strange, Link ordered some food from the server.

This place was quite far from Scorched City, and he’d cast an Invisibility spell on his Assassin’s Robe. He wasn’t that attractive either, so no one recognized him.

While waiting for his food, Link snapped his fingers and activated a small-scale Soundproof Barrier.

Vance started introducing the young man’s ring. “It’s a bit far, and I can’t tell if it’s a replica or the real thing. Eight hundred years ago, this ring was called ‘Gewell’s Hidden Seal.’ It was used for disguises. Not only could it completely cover one’s aura, but it could also replicate someone else’s Mana aura.”

“Why did he make that ring?” Link asked curiously. “To be a thief?”

Vance nodded. “Yes.”

Link arched an eyebrow. “Please explain.” It was interesting for a Legendary Magician to become a thief.

“Apparently, Magician Gewell made a bet with his friend that he could sneak into the Dragon Valley and steal something from the Red Dragon Queen’s bedroom. Then he made this Hidden Seal and did it. More importantly, he actually succeeded. The dragons were obviously furious, thinking that Gewell had humiliated their queen. To resolve this, the High Elf Queen personally apologized.”

A server brought some alcohol over. Vance quickly poured a cup for him and gulped it down. He sighed in satisfaction. “This is the taste of life.”

Link’s interest was piqued. He continued to ask, “What exactly did Gewell steal?”

“I don’t know, but it was a big event. I was living in the underground palace by the sea and saw a 200-foot-long dragon fly towards the Isle of Dawn with my own eyes. Tsk, Gewell was even imprisoned by the High Elf Queen for ten years because of this. The queen sold his Hidden Seal too. I saw it on the black market once and made a note of it.”

Link grew curious about the young man too. He wanted to know if the man’s ring was real or not. If it was fake, there would be no problem. But if it was real, he was definitely in Ferde for a reason.

He couldn’t alarm the man because he didn’t know how powerful someone with a Legendary ring could be.

Thinking for a bit, Link reached out and formed a circle with his thumb and forefinger. He guided his power out and the light between his fingers distorted. Link glanced at his fingers. The young man’s image appeared in it.

His movement was hidden, and no power waves appeared. Even Vance, sitting across from him, didn’t notice anything. This was a small achievement Link made after creating the spell Despair.

In the image, the young man was also waiting for the server to bring the food. He seemed to be telling a joke, making the girl giggle. After a while, Link didn’t find anything interesting and canceled the spell for now.

The server brought over the food just then. It was a tasty cuttlefish broth. Vance took in the smell and sighed deeply. “It’s been so many years. I must eat well today.” He spooned the milky broth and sipped before sighing again. “My tongue is going to melt. This is the greatest enjoyment of life.”

Hearing this, Link smiled. He knew that Vance didn’t have any money, so he pushed over a bulging pouch. “Here. The money inside is enough for you to live well for a few days. If you’re interested, you can come to my Mage Tower after that.”

“Heh, you know me well.” Vance drank another mouthful and accepted the gold coins. “I’ll help you.”

With that, he stood up.

“What are you doing?” Link didn’t understand.

Vance smirked. Without explaining, he walked towards that young man. When he got there, he smiled at the girl across from the handsome young man and asked, “Miss, may I enjoy dinner with you?”

“Hey, what are you doing?” The young man arched an eyebrow.

Vance ignored him and continued looking intently at the girl. His clothes were prepared by Link. Though subtle, the material was expensive black velvet and clearly worn by the upper class. His temperament was mature and reliable. It was extremely effective with the ladies.

As expected, not only was the girl not upset, she even looked interested. “But I don’t know you,” she said.

Vance smiled. He suddenly extended the hand that had been behind his back. There was a pure gold rose in his hand now. “My name is Vance. What is your name, miss?”

He was a master at enchantments, around the same level as Link. The rose he created was realistic and beautiful. It instantly mesmerized the girl.

“Oh, my name is Anna.” The girl kept staring at the rose. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also pure gold.

“Then, Anna, now we know each other. May I have the honor of inviting you to dinner with me?”
