I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

"Huh? You're actually good at this kind of loophole-exploiting stuff?"

Serishina was somewhat surprised, thinking, "With those two long arms staring at you from behind, who can you possibly fool?"

As a result, Don Quixote broke off the two extra arms right in front of her...

"Are machines really such inconvenient things?"

He smiled smugly, then said righteously:

"Furthermore, please allow me to correct one detail: this is not exploiting loopholes, but rather my protest against injustice!"

Luo Yue, who was listening nearby, was curious and quickly asked a series of questions, and roughly figured out what those concealment spells were all about.

This all started with the "Secret Realm," or "Instance"...

The secret realm is unpredictable and extremely dangerous, but it is also full of opportunities. It is the main source of many materials and resources, so the secret realm itself has become a resource, which is firmly controlled by the Sage Council, which formulates distribution rules that are favorable to them.

Don Quixote clearly couldn't benefit from these rules, but as an engineer specializing in golems and various creations, he desperately needed those resources.

So they started finding all sorts of ways to exploit loopholes, often impersonating people from other forces to fish in troubled waters.

Many people misunderstand me, thinking that my best subject is engineering, but that's completely wrong!

If disguise can be a path, then I can definitely reach the ninth level!

Don Quixote spoke with great pride, then turned to introduce him to Royal:

"My lord, as long as you can learn my [Disguise Technique], no one below the seventh rank will be able to detect it. Otherwise, they would have already found evidence and brought me to justice..."

"And in your remote southwestern continent, there probably aren't that many seventh-tier cultivators, right?"

It's not that there aren't that many, but you can count them on one hand!

Luo Yue answered in his heart, somewhat excited.

The old world doesn't even have a 'formulaic spell', let alone know what 'void' is. The entire cultivation system is many years behind the outside world. There are only four existing seventh-order cultivators. Apart from that great witch, the rest are all important figures.

Who knows, by the time I bring the Star Destroyer into reality, I might not even encounter them.

So he quickly answered:

"I really need your [disguise techniques], but what price will I have to pay for it?"

"Well... Your Excellency, you should be able to understand my predicament, it's extremely difficult, and this [Disguise Technique] is my masterpiece, so..."

Don Quixote was still pondering how to raise the price when a line of golden text suddenly appeared before his eyes:

"I'll pay for him."

Then, he felt something enter his brain and froze on the spot.

About two minutes later, his body began to tremble and shake uncontrollably, and he started to stutter.

"This...this is actually...a [Secret]? Am I dreaming? A [Secret]...how can it be a [Secret]?"

As he spoke, he started gesturing wildly, cheering and laughing, acting like a madman.

This went on for a full half hour, so noisy that Rojo and Celishina couldn't think straight, before it gradually quieted down.

Then he reattached the disassembled robotic arms to his body, pressing all four arms onto Luo Yue's shoulders, and said:

"My lord, tell me, besides the [Disguise Technique], what else do you need? A golem? An airship? A steamship? A luxury cruise ship? Fine, I'll take them all, plus the two villas under my name?"

Before Royo could answer, Celishina tugged at her arm, signaling her to come over.

"A renowned engineering fanatic, all you can come up with is this kind of shoddy contraption? Are you sure you want to deceive my student? Deceive a trusted follower?"

Don Quixote was immediately embarrassed and waved all four arms at once.

"This...that's not what I meant...but this is all the valuable stuff I have left. Don't you like it, Lord? Men should all like these things, right?"

"Hmph~ Don't give me that. Show some real sincerity. Since the Governor can send [Secrets] directly into your mind, can't he send something else in?"

Celestina, with a stern expression, pointed at Royo and added:

"He is a favorite of the consul, and to deceive him would be an offense and a presumption. I suggest you carefully consider the consequences of doing so."

Uh... there really weren't any consequences. They offended me, but that was all.

Luo Yue thought to himself, then quickly stood behind Celishina, waiting for the beautiful teacher to support him.

He had already learned about the approximate value of the [Secret] from Celishina's reaction, and he also hoped that someone could decipher it and share it with him, so as to figure out exactly what was going on in his head every day.

Especially the new puzzle piece I got yesterday. The new function it unlocks can actually bring things from the real world into the void. So, could it be the other way around and bring Star Destroyers and mechs out?

Therefore, Royo was eager to unravel the mystery as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Celishina's side hasn't made much progress even with the resources she previously provided, so naturally, she has to "open source" the code to allow more people to participate in cracking it, and also gain some benefits for herself along the way.

I just never expected to get so much in return...

After some haggling, in addition to the [Disguise Technique] he wanted most, Celishina also ordered three high-level golems with combat power equivalent to the sixth tier, and their quality must not be lower than the 'purple excellent' level;

There are also two protective magical artifacts, the quality of which must be 'purple excellent' or higher.

In addition, there are three bottles of high-end potions that sound expensive just from their names.

As for the void artifact that carries the [Disguise Technique], it is naturally considered an add-on in the transaction.

Of course, cars, houses, and yachts are out of the question; Serishina believes that a member of the Familiar doesn't need such worldly possessions...

"Seriously, she didn't give me this much stuff back then, did she? What's this? She doesn't get wet herself, but she makes everyone else soaked?"

Luo Yue chuckled inwardly, but was also somewhat surprised by the beautiful teacher's performance.

I never imagined she could bargain so well. Could it be that a stunningly beautiful eighth-level expert also has the attribute of "thrifty and good at managing a household"?

Even Don Quixote agreed with this, remarking:

"Although I don't know what you look like, the man who marries you will definitely be very happy."

"Please don't change the subject. How long will it take to finish the golem?"

"Your requirements are too high. This quality will take at least three years. I don't have some of the materials on hand, so I'll have to find a way to get them from the secret realm."

Serishina nodded, then whispered to Royo via private message:

"As expected of a mechanical madman, it would take an ordinary engineer at least five years to find this kind of golem... Once you get his golem, I won't have to worry about your safety for a while."

Huh? She actually cares about my safety?

A warm feeling welled up in Luo Yue's heart again.
