Yinsha City is an earthen city built on a low rocky beach.

The ground is low, dry, and dirty, and when the wind blows, the sky is filled with dust.

People who survive here don’t have to wear clothes, but they must wrap a towel around their head to block the sun and sweat, as well as to cover their mouths and noses and keep out dust.

On the northern outskirts of the city, Rosen and Tilarilin stood side by side on a dirt slope, looking at the earthen city ahead.

After looking at it for a while, Rosen commented: "Although it is very simple, it is still quite large, with a radius of more than 5 kilometers, and at least 70,000 to 80,000 people gathered there."

At this time, there were less than ten days left until the Gate of Creation opened.

Most of the outer-dimensional explorers went north, which made Silver Sand City a lot quieter.

Tiralilin looked somewhat dejected: "It is simply a ruin. There is no trace of the glory of the Dawn Empire left."

“A little bit.”

Rosen pointed to a black Dawn Guard standing at the north entrance of the city.

"In fact, it is an old friend of yours. If we go into the city, will it recognize you?"

Intelligence shows that there are 20 such Black Dawn Guards, which is a big problem.

Tiralilin shook her head. "Don't worry. All the identifiable features on my body have been modified. It won't recognize me."

After saying that, she walked down the slope first: "Let's go, let's go into the city."

Rosen immediately followed and asked: "Have you sensed the location of the memory artifact?"

"It's clearer than before, but we still can't pinpoint the exact location. We need to get closer."

Rosen, however, was reluctant to venture into the city.

"You said that the memory artifact is a 22-level artifact, so ordinary high-energy weapons should not be able to harm it, right?"

As soon as Tiralilin heard it, she understood Rosen's plan: "Your Majesty, are you planning to use high-powered energy to flush this kind of city?"

Rosen also did not deny: "I will always consider it as a backup option."

He is not a merciful saint, and if the situation requires, he will have to use his skills.

Tilalilin had no empathy for the gray city in front of her. It was not the first time she had witnessed a high-energy war, so she was not surprised by Rosen's idea.

But she raised objections from a practical perspective.

"Your Majesty, high-energy weapons, such as the fusion bomb you master, will reach an extremely high intensity at the center when it explodes. If it hits head-on, it will be enough to destroy any artifact."

"Also, although high-energy weapons are extremely powerful, there is always a shield for every spear. The Empire has many high-energy spells that are powerful enough to defend against high-energy weapons. I believe Cicero will definitely think of this and make targeted defenses."

"Even if it's not him, even I, who has lost many memories, can think of many ways to defend against fusion bombs. For example, hiding deep under the earth, or hiding in the protection cabin of the Dawn Guard."

Rosen was convinced and spread his hands: "Okay, I was ignorant."

After a while, the two arrived at the outskirts of Yinsha City.

The earthen city has no protective walls, so there are a large number of entrances for free entry and exit, but the residents in the city are very vigilant. Once a stranger is spotted entering the city, he or she will be treated as an alien by the locals.

After walking for a while, Rosen whispered in his soul: "The city is too small. Our whereabouts are being watched by countless people. There is nowhere to hide."

Those pairs of staring eyes made him feel as if he was returning to his rural hometown to celebrate the New Year in his previous life.

But this time, the usually talkative Tiralilin did not answer.

Her face was gloomy, her eyes were dim, and she walked as if she was sleepwalking.

Rosen immediately noticed that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly grabbed her arm and shook it vigorously: "What happened?"

Tiralilin's body shook slightly, and her scattered eyes refocused.

"I just played a time game with Cicero. He already knew I was coming, but he hasn't found my exact location yet. But Silver Sand City will be on alert soon!"

Rosen frowned slightly: "So, have you determined the location of the memory artifact?"

"I'm sure the artifact is next to Cicero, less than five kilometers away from us. But I haven't found its specific hiding place yet."

Tiralilin sighed.

"I don't know how he discovered my secret, let alone when he discovered it. But one thing is certain. If I want to get all my memories back, I must defeat Cicero completely."

At this time, Rosen had already discovered the changes nearby through his void vision.

The city's Black Dawn Guards began to activate, and the city guards also began to search the streets for foreign travelers.

A dangerous tide was rushing towards them rapidly.

In this regard, Rosen naturally made a response plan.

In fact, he made many response strategies according to different situations, including legion attacks, nuclear bomb washing, etc.

But judging from the current situation, there is no need to make a big move for the time being.

He planned to attempt a lightning attack while the opponent had not yet fully reacted.

The first step in a raid is to ensure that you have a safe retreat.

While the Black Dawn Guards had not yet been fully activated, Rosen began to contact the Dawn Guards under their control through ghost resonance and set corresponding combat orders.

Although they only have one Dawnbreaker, it has an advantage that other Dawnbreakers do not have. It is loaded with a full kilogram of solar essence and is far more powerful than the Black Dawnbreaker.

When necessary, this Dawnguard can urgently enter a higher intensity combat mode.

Of course, in order to avoid scaring Cicero away, Rosen would not use this killer move unless necessary.

Then he grabbed Tiralilin's hand and quickly walked into a tunnel entrance on the side of the road.

These tunnels are very deep, leading all the way to a depth of at least 1,000 meters underground, and many tunnels are interconnected, forming an underground city that is like a maze.

Its main purpose is to avoid the Ring of Magic storms and various bad weather. It was dug out by the surviving survivors of the empire generation after generation.

The underground Silver Sand City is much cooler than the ground, so it is quite lively, even more lively than the ground.

There are many glowing crystals on both sides of the passage, and pedestrians can be seen from time to time, most of whom are locals from Yinsha City, and a small number are travelers from other places.

Rosen and Tiralilin naturally received a lot of attention, but not more than the attention they received on the ground.

Rosen rushed all the way deeper into the underground passage, very fast, as if he was in a panic.

After running for a while, Tiralilin became confused: "Where are we going?"

Although her power has been raised to the legendary 19 extreme, which is the same level as Rosen, her void vision range is far less than Rosen's, and not as clear as his.

In her current situation, she could only see within 200 meters around her.

In contrast, Rosen could clearly see an area of ​​about 2 kilometers, covering almost half of the city.

He certainly wasn't running around.

He explained in a low voice while running.

"Of course, before Cicero can react, find out his hiding place from the underground passage."

After that, he reminded: "During this period of time, you'd better not use time magic, so as not to expose our position."

These days, he also learned some common sense about time magic from Tilalilin, and roughly knew how to deal with the detection of time magic.

But it is just common sense, and I cannot learn it.

Because time magic itself is extremely profound, it also requires a mysterious time talent to support it.

According to Tiralilin, among the 8 billion people in the entire Dawn Empire, only less than 2,000 had this talent, and in the end only 7 people reached the master level.

On the other side, Tiralilin was still confused: "But without the time spell, I can't determine Cicero's exact location."

"But he can't pinpoint your location, can he?"

"right."

"Very good, now tell me what Cicero looks like, or what are his distinguishing features."

"Sorry, it's been so long, I don't know."

He could see clearly that the guy was in a spacious underground hall about 1,800 meters ahead of them.

There is a rather tortuous underground passage directly connecting the two sides.

Even without using any magic, it would only take less than a minute to run all the way there thanks to the divine body's physical strength which far exceeds that of ordinary people.

In addition, for safety reasons, they are currently unable to use magic.

Because once you use magic, you may be discovered and targeted by the awakened Black Dawn Guards.

As Tiralilin ran after Rosen, she said, "Cicero is hiding very deep. City Lord Baril may not know Cicero's location."

"You're right, but do you have a better way?"

"No."

"If you don't have any, just listen to me."

Without causing chaos, we ran forward for a kilometer as fast as possible, and guards began to appear in the passage ahead.

The guards were already on alert, but not to a high level of vigilance, and were constantly checking on foreign travelers in the passage.

In this situation, it is difficult to get through by ordinary means.

Tiralilin panicked: "Your Majesty, the plan has changed. Why don't we retreat temporarily and discuss a better tactic?"

"If the plan fails, I will withdraw, but not now."

Rosen stopped running, took Tiralilin by the hand and walked to a secluded corner, pretending to be intimate with her and whispering softly.

"Don't move, cooperate with me."

Tiralin didn't know Rosen's plan, but she had no better way, so she could only cooperate and let Rosen's hand reach into her clothes to explore.

In order to make it more realistic and to attract the guards' attention, Rosen deliberately tore open her clothes and exposed a white thunder to the air.

After a while, two guards came to them.

Seeing this situation, the two of them subconsciously relaxed their vigilance.

Just as he was about to interrogate them, Rosen turned around like lightning, a deep purple light flashed on his hand, and with two "puff" shots, the two guards were hit once each on the side of the head.

The two guards fell to the ground without saying a word.

It was a miniature spell-breaking hammer made for Rosen by the Nature Empire's High Energy Laboratory, imitating the Dawn Guard's spell-breaking blade.

Its powerful spell-breaking properties easily broke the guards' spell amulets like a hot knife through butter.

And because it was a blunt instrument, there was no huge commotion with blood splattering everywhere.

But the skulls of the two guards had been shattered, and part of their brains had been smashed, and they died on the spot.

Rosen quickly raised his hand and grabbed the guard who was about to fall to the ground, pinning him against the wall, then pulled Tiralin forward.

After running for more than ten steps, the latter finally reacted. While pulling his clothes to cover his body, he asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you a mage? How come you can use a hammer?"

Rosen smiled and said, "I learned a little bit of everything."

"I learned a little. Is this a little?"

Although she herself can't do it, her vision is extremely sharp.

The two guards just now had 8-ring souls and extremely tough temperaments. They must have extraordinary skills, but they were killed by Rosen in a single encounter, without even having time to scream.

So this is basically a master-level cold weapon combat technique.

She had a vague feeling that in terms of close combat, even Berudandi might not be Rosen's match.

Rosen certainly would not explain that this was the effect of Lai Fu's "Heart of the God of War", which once again made the latter improve his evaluation of his talent.

Later on the road, Rosen encountered four waves of guards who came to check him.

Because the underground passage was narrow and dimly lit, all the guards were killed silently by Rosen using the spell-breaking hammer.

No matter how strong the guards are, even if they are legendary warriors, the fighting process will be the same, and the outcome will be decided with one blow.

From beginning to end, Rosen did not use any spells, and naturally did not attract the Black Dawn Guards.

About five minutes later, the two came to a relatively spacious underground passage.

There were ten guards standing in two rows on each side of the passage.

These are the elite guards, each of whom is a legendary warrior.

He was wearing fine sand lizard leather armor, and unknown hard metal plates were attached to vital parts of his body.

Their weapons are also much better than those of ordinary guards. In their left hands they hold a strangely shaped shield made of artifact fragments, and in their right hands they hold a spear made of artifact fragments, which allows them to attack or defend.

I could also feel that there were two people in the hall at the end of the passage.

One of them possesses a legendary 10-strength tough soul, matching the Saint Scout's description of City Lord Baril.

The other person possesses the power of Legend 19, but does not have a divine body, and his specific identity is unknown.

Rosen used his fingers to write quickly on the back of Tiralilin's hand: "Is the memory artifact in the hall?"

Tiralilin shook her head and wrote back: "I can sense that we are very close to the artifact, but something is interfering with the signal, so it is difficult to locate it accurately."

Rosen wrote again: "Do you know the other person in the front hall?"

Tila Lilin wrote on the back of Rosen's hand with her backhand: "I feel the soul characteristics of the Sanlo family."

In other words, that guy is from the Black Death God Sangluo family.

She then wrote: "It looks like things are going to get tough ahead, what are you going to do?"

Rosen replied: "Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, just force it."

To be honest, the current situation is quite complicated and confusing, but since we are preparing to launch a lightning raid tactic, we can't care about so much.

Rosen took out a stack of throwing knives from under his cloak, exactly ten, no more, no less, also made of the materials of the magic-breaking artifact.

Tila Lilin was startled, and looked at Rosen with a strange look, the meaning was obvious: "You can also throw flying knives?"

Rosen grinned and said silently: "I told you, I know a little bit about everything."

Compared to various sophisticated and complicated spells, close combat skills are simply child's play.

Lai Fu's "Heart of the God of War" only requires less than one ten-thousandth of computing power, which is enough to make him a peerless master of cold weapon combat.

The power of cold weapon combat depends largely on the strength of the weapon.

The upper limit of the law-breaking performance of the Law-Breaking Flying Knife in Rosen's hand is naturally far inferior to that of the Law-Breaking Blade of the Dawn Guard, but when dealing with legendary power and below, the effect is almost the same.

He suddenly rolled out from his hiding place, and before he could get up, the flying knife in his hand had already been swung out violently with the momentum.

When throwing out, use ten fingers to fine-tune the direction of each flying knife.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~Puff, puff~~~"

Two waves were struck in succession like lightning, and ten guards were hit almost at the same time and fell to the ground.

Rosen didn't stop for a moment and rushed to the door of the hall at full speed. Before he showed up, the things were thrown in.

But they were not flying knives, but two magic balls.

"Puff~"

The two people in the hall had heard the noise outside the door, but they didn't expect the opponent to arrive so quickly.

Before he could react, he was hit on the head by a magic ball and fell unconscious.

The powerful divine body gave Rosen a speed far exceeding that of ordinary legendary warriors, and without any magic movement, which caused the two people in the hall to fatally misjudge the strength of their opponents.

Thus, Rosen got two high-level prisoners.
