Rob merchant ships on the high seas? Freyr didn't want any more trouble.
So... rob pirates it was!
Robbing pirates wasn't illegal! In fact, it was encouraged by the Imperial Navy, which even offered bounties for the heads of notorious pirate leaders!
Using a master like Naya, along with the "Black Pearl" that knew the pirate circles inside and out, to sail the seas...
Others might not find those pirates, but Captain Jack Nemo certainly could! After all, they were once pirates themselves!
So, the next steps were simple!
Rob!
Rob money! Pirates surely had stashes of accumulated wealth from their years of plundering, perfect for replenishing Master Freyr's currently empty purse.
Rob people! Freyr could "capture" those pirates. The disobedient ones would be sold to the Imperial Navy for bounty, and the obedient ones would join Freyr's private fleet...
Rob ships! Freyr wouldn't tolerate his "McDonald's Fleet" consisting of just the Black Pearl! He had no money to buy ships, so he had to rob the pirates' vessels!
Naya's immense strength was the greatest guarantee!
Such a cost-free business... of course, others might think of it too... but who could find a Great Wizard to help with such a tedious task?
Those Great Wizards were so arrogant that even royal ministers might not win their favor!
"Legally fill my wallet as soon as possible!" This was Freyr's guiding principle!
Of course, this task couldn't be left to Naya alone. Naya was only helping temporarily due to a favor owed to Freyr, and she would leave in three months.
Naturally... to persuade her, Freyr did employ a bit of a trick, like... looking into her eyes.
So, Calista was the best candidate for this task! This female knight had previous adventure experience, and she was well-versed in robbery, capturing people, and bounty hunting.
Moreover, bearing the Russell family's name, she wouldn't be troubled by the navy outside.
With everything arranged and both the witch and the knight off on their tasks, a long-waiting individual finally rushed in, collapsing at Freyr's feet and hugging his leg.
"My respected master, I am your most loyal servant, Focker..."
Freyr glanced at the former groom and smiled, "Oh, dear Focker, long time no see."
Focker had had a tough time lately. He knew well that everything he had depended on this young master... if the young master fell, he'd likely return to being a groom!
"Alright, Focker, you're dirtying my trousers... now, pack our things, we're going home!"
What made Freyr uncomfortable was the farewell with little Lilith.
This little fool finally went to the Wizard Guild in Walker Port to complete some procedures.
Her Wizard robe was gone, and even her Wizard badge was lost at sea.
Lilith went to the Wizard Guild here to register, and after revealing her identity, the Guild staff immediately checked the Wizard list... and promptly fainted two low-level Wizards in charge of documents.
Afterward, their attitude became extremely respectful. After all, a visit from a Great Wizard was extremely rare!
In the magic guild, the well-known Great Wizards were all lofty and arrogant! Offending such powerful figures, even inadvertently, could lead to big trouble!
The Wizard Guild outpost in Walker Port was primarily responsible for procuring supplies for the guild in this port city. They rarely dealt with any Great Wizards.
In no time, Lilith had donned a brand-new Wizard robe and received a newly issued gold badge.
"I... I have to go."
The little fool sighed; upon returning, this was the first thing she said to Freyr.
Freyr was silent for a moment, saying nothing. He understood that no matter how reliant they were on each other on that deserted island, they had to part ways once they returned to civilization.
"I... I have to go." Lilith's face was a bit red, her eyes slightly teary, and she nervously twisted the hem of her robe. "Counting the days... m-my teacher will be back soon."
Freyr looked up at this little fool, "Where can I find you in the future?"
Lilith was silent for a while, then cautiously looked at Freyr, "M-my teacher doesn't allow me to s-say our address..."
"...Even to me?" Freyr asked gently.
Lilith was on the verge of tears. She suddenly pouted and started crying, hugging Freyr tightly and trembling, "I-I will miss you so much... I don't want to go back... my dragon is lost, and my teacher will punish me..."
Freyr, held by her, couldn't help but smile at her childish words: "Alright, you can secretly tell me. When I have time, I can secretly visit you... or, next time your teacher is away, you can sneak out to see me! Isn't that great? We've known each other for so many days, I've considered you a good friend. You're not that young anymore; can your teacher keep you locked in that hidden place without seeing anyone? You need some friends."
Lilith thought for a while, clearly hesitant... She had already broken many rules on this trip, so one more didn't seem to matter...
We must regretfully say that our pure Lilith, in some way, had been led astray by Freyr.
