Four o'clock in the morning.
The secret conversation that lasted for three hours finally ended. When the two men came out of the underground wine cellar, Patnaros had already become impatient.
She looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"What did you talk about that took so long?"
Rosen shrugged, "Mainly future plans, and instructing me on how to practice to increase my soul power faster."
"Really, sister?"
Adela nodded expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is telling the truth."
As if she was afraid that her sister would ask more questions, she urged: "We have been away for too long this time. Now that everything has been settled, it's time to go back."
After saying this, he quickly left the wine cellar door without waiting for Patnaros' response.
Patnaros was no simple person. After looking at Adela's back for a few seconds, he turned his head and looked at Rosen with a meaningful look.
But she didn't say anything, but took a few quick steps to catch up with Adela.
Soon, the two sisters left Tulip Manor in the dark.
Not long after they left, Patnaros spoke up, "Sister, you and His Majesty have reached an agreement, right?"
"Yes, it's all settled. I also got the skills to cast ordinary spells from him."
"Well, this is really good."
After a pause, Patnaros suddenly asked, "Sister, you and Rosen are doing something in there, right?"
Adela frowned and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Patnaros was not afraid at all, but full of curiosity: "Sister, don't you always hate dissolute gentlemen the most?"
Adela knew she couldn't hide it, so she sighed, "To be precise, I hate gentlemen who have nothing to do except being dissolute."
"But obviously, His Majesty Rosen is not such a person. Being a playboy is indeed his shortcoming, but he also has countless advantages."
"Hypocrisy." Patnaros curled his lips and muttered softly.
"What did you say?" Adela didn't quite hear.
"Sister, you swore solemnly that you would keep your distance from him, but you ended up having sex with him within a few hours of meeting him, and it took you so long. Isn't this hypocrisy?"
Adela blushed, felt embarrassed and speechless when she heard this.
Patnaros changed the subject: "But I also understand your temper, sister. I know that this matter was definitely not brought up by you. It must be that dissolute emperor who is causing trouble, right?!"
Adela felt relieved. She had been feeling a little resentful towards Rosen, so she subconsciously walked down the steps her sister had given her.
"Yes, he was the one who did the bad things. He was so powerful that I was no match for him. I had no choice but to submit."
Patnaros had a straightforward temper. She got angry when she heard this and immediately turned around and walked back.
"Sister, wait here. I'll go back and ask him for an explanation!"
"Don't"
Before Adela could finish her words, Partnaros had disappeared.
Her response came in the wind: "Don't worry, sister, I won't do anything stupid."
Adela's mind was in a mess, with shyness, resentment, worry, and all kinds of emotions intertwined in her heart. For a moment, she was at a loss and could only find a secluded place nearby to hide and wait.
On the other side, Patnaros ran all the way and returned to Tulip Manor in less than ten minutes.
She climbed over the manor's wall and tiptoed around the yard for a while. Soon, following clues, she found Rosen in the underground wine cellar.
The light spell was still effective, and the wine cellar was as bright as day.
Next to a pile of large wine barrels, Rosen stood leaning against the barrels, holding a glass of wine in his hand and another glass on the barrels.
Seeing Patnaros rushing over angrily, he asked with a smile: "Miss, what made you angry?"
Patnaros snorted coldly: "Your Majesty Rosen, I didn't expect you to be such a person, forcing my sister to do things!"
As soon as Rosen heard it, he knew that Adela was just trying to save face, so she pushed all the blame onto him.
He was the one who took the initiative in this matter, and Adela was a reserved and shy person, so he should bear the blame.
So he nodded and admitted it, smiling: "I was indeed wrong about this matter. If I have the chance, I will apologize to your sister."
"I see you've been running a lot, your forehead is covered with sweat, you must be thirsty, come and have a drink."
He flicked his hand lightly, and the wine glass floated towards the other person: "This year's new wine tastes very good."
Patnaros was indeed thirsty, so she took a big sip and said, "Your Majesty, I must say that you did a really inappropriate job. An apology alone is not enough, you need compensation!"
Rosen nodded: "I agree, but what compensation do you want?"
Patnaros was suddenly stuck and didn't know what to ask for.
Rosen just wanted to use this incident to get a deeper understanding of the sisters' personalities. After all, the projection and the original body have different personalities, and they plan to adventure into the Dawn Palace together. At critical moments, they need to rely on each other.
If the other party has ulterior motives, it would be really fatal.
In addition, he also wanted to verify the illusion of time that he had seen.
Seeing that the other party couldn't think of anything to say, Rosen reached into his pocket and pulled out a box: "Sun Essence, you know it?"
Patnaros was shocked: "Of course!"
This thing is an extremely concentrated source of power, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the divine body.
They also had it at the beginning, but it was not called the Essence of the Sun. Instead, it was called the Essence of Eternity, which was an order of magnitude stronger in power density than the Essence of the Sun.
But he has been in this world for too long, and his eternal essence has long been used up. Normally, he can only obtain some strength from burning and food, but this speed is naturally far less convenient and durable than the essence of the sun.
Rosen threw the box to Patnaros: "I bullied your sister twice, each time for about 50 minutes. At the price of one gram for every ten minutes, I will give you 10 grams of sun essence as compensation. The power contained in it should be enough for your sister to use for fifty years."
The reason it can last so long is that, firstly, the power density of the sun essence is really high, and secondly, the speed at which power is consumed in this world is very slow . Paternalos was slightly shocked when he heard this.
She was shocked by Rosen's fighting spirit in getting things done and was also surprised by his generosity.
Because in her mind, doing things is just a small matter of entertainment, and only her sister would care so much about it. To her, it doesn't matter, as long as they like each other, they can do it.
Unfortunately, the men in this demiplane were either mortals or enemies, so she had no chance to put it into practice.
His Majesty the Emperor is really generous to give so much solar essence for such a small thing.
"Your Majesty, you have a lot of solar essence?"
"Indeed, there are quite a few. After all, I am going to enter the demiplane myself this time, so I can't be unprepared, right?"
Rosen took a sip of wine and reminded, "But I hid the things very well. Unless someone has a time talent that far exceeds mine, they will never be able to find it."
He dared to say this because of the time and space spell taught by Tilalilin called "Space Treasure House", which functions like a space pocket and is very convenient for hiding things.
Patnaros originally had the intention of stealing, but when she heard this, she immediately gave up the idea. However, she did not give up on obtaining more sun essence. After all, this thing was so useful.
Rosen understood Patnaros's idea as soon as he heard it, and his eyes swept over the other's enchanting figure wrapped in tight leather armor.
"That's the standard for compensating your sister. If it's someone else, it'll be different."
Compared to Adela's reserve, Patnaros was much more straightforward and asked directly: "What if it was me?"
"There are two standards. One is the ordinary time method. I will give you 15 minutes per gram."
Patnaros was immediately dissatisfied: "Why is mine so much lower than my sister's?"
Rosen smiled and said, "I don't mean to belittle you, Miss. You are of course both beautiful and graceful, but everyone has their own preferences. I happen to like your sister's type more."
Adela was gentle as water, reserved and shy, which was a real treat. In comparison, Partnaros was straightforward and dressed a bit like a tomboy, so she naturally lacked a lot of feminine charm.
His answer left Patnaros with no faults: "What about the second standard?"
"The second way is to bet. Let's bet and see who can last longer. If you last longer, I'll give you 20 grams at a time. If I last longer, then I'll only give you 1 gram."
Patnaro chose the second option without hesitation: "I choose the second option!"
Rosen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this girl was adventurous by nature and was a practical person.
In contrast, Adela's temperament is steady and cautious, which is exactly the opposite of Patnaros.
"Shall we come now?"
"Come on!"
Patnaros glanced at Rosen provocatively.
After that, the two began to compete with each other in endurance.
After about a quarter of an hour, Patnaros admitted defeat, but she refused to accept it.
After she recovered, she immediately said, "I lost this time, let's try again!"
"good."
Rosen had 26 kilograms of solar essence. The power of this world was consumed slowly. Even if he used it freely, it would probably last tens of thousands of years. He didn't even take a gram of solar essence seriously.
After another competition, Rosen won again: "Miss, can you still hold on?"
Patnaros began to draw strength from the essence of the sun and soon recovered.
"Of course no problem, come again!"
The third contest begins.
This time, Patnaros was indeed much more powerful. He lasted for 20 minutes and even broke a wine barrel into pieces, but he did not lose.
Rosen also became more and more excited as the battle went on, shouting with great pleasure.
But of course he did not forget to pay attention to changes in the outside world.
After another ten minutes, he felt Adela return.
I chuckled in my heart: "It is exactly the same as predicted by the time and space fantasy."
He didn't stop it and just let things develop.
Because human nature is often revealed in conflict, he wanted to see what the sisters would do.
At this time, Patnaros had no time to pay attention to the changes in the outside world. She was trying her best to resist Rosen's attack.
Suddenly, the wooden door of the underground wine cellar was pushed open, and Adela strode in, shouting angrily: "Sister, you really disappoint me!"
Patnaros was startled, his defenses collapsed, and he suffered a great loss, allowing Rosen to take great advantage.
After a while, Patnaros calmed down and looked at Adela with some shame: "Sister, I..."
Her original intention was to seek justice for Adela, but now that it had turned out like this, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Rosen has an explanation.
He calmly cleaned up the mess for Patnaros: "Ms. Adela, our deal is fair and just. Miss Patnaros has no reason to ask for justice for you, right?"
Adela was also speechless.
Patnaros was stunned: "Sister, what does His Majesty mean?"
Now it was Adela's turn to feel ashamed: "Sister, you ran away before I could finish my words. I didn't have time to tell you everything."
At this time, Rosen came to make trouble again.
He took out a large piece of sun essence and gently placed it in Patnaros' pocket in front of Adela.
"I am very satisfied with the last fight. Together with the previous ones, the total makes up 50 grams."
Patnaros was secretly delighted, and immediately hid the essence of the sun carefully into his own treasure house of time and space.
The effect of the sun's essence on the divine body is so great that 50 grams is not a small amount.
Adela suddenly lost her composure and said angrily, "Your Majesty, this deal is not fair!"
Before Rosen could speak, Patnaros said, "Why is it unfair? I think it's fair."
Rosen laughed: "Ladies, we have a lot of time in the future, so there is no need to worry about the gains and losses of the moment."
"It's getting late. The two ladies should leave. I also need to have a good rest."
This statement doesn't help either side, and it also leaves no one to refute.
The sisters Adela and Patnaros looked at each other.
No one spoke.
Finally, Patnaros broke the silence: "Sister, His Majesty is right. There is plenty of time in the future."
"Let's go, sister."
As she spoke, she was the first to come out of the underground wine cellar.
Adela remained silent. She looked straight at Rosen, then turned and left.
The two sisters left Tulip Manor one after another.
Rosen watched her leave, raised his hand and gently stroked his chin, thinking back to Adela's last look in his mind, and always felt that something was wrong.
I didn't quite understand it, so I asked Lai Fu to analyze it.
Lai Fu quickly came to a conclusion.
Rosen took a look and thought to himself: "Tsk tsk tsk ~ this is interesting, it seems I have to appease her well, so as not to let her become resentful."
