The suburbs of Lyon.

This place is located outside the protective wall of the main town area and is inhabited by middle and lower class townspeople.

The buildings in the suburbs are generally simple, the infrastructure is very weak, and the public security is not good. The advantage is that there is freedom of movement, which makes it suitable for seclusion.

Among them was a slightly shabby two-story wooden building, which was the new residence that Rosen found for himself.

The house was built on the highest point of a slope, about ten to twenty meters away from the surrounding buildings. There was a small yard surrounded by a thorny fence, and a field of colorful fringed flowers was planted in the yard.

At first glance, there is nothing special about him. He is just a resident with a little wealth and some interests.

But this is just an appearance.

Under the wooden building, there is a fairly spacious basement hidden, which was newly dug out by Rosen using architectural transformation techniques.

At this moment, a strong middle-aged warrior was lying on the transformation table in the basement. Everything about him was fine except that his right arm was empty and almost broken at the root.

"Mr. Rosen, can my broken arm be regenerated?" the soldier asked cautiously.

Rosen sat beside the transformation table, carefully analyzing his bloodline: "Of course, but what kind of reward are you going to give me?"

The soldier looked a little embarrassed. "I brought all my savings with me. They are all in my wallet. If that is not enough, I can only tell you a story about my own adventures when I was young, okay?"

Rosen glanced at the knife-like wrinkles on the man's face and the patches on his clothes, and said with a smile, "Of course. Go ahead."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to tell the story.

"When I was young, about ten years ago, I was only 27 years old, and I was a well-known young swordsman."

"I am a restless person, so I joined an expedition team and went on adventures everywhere, hoping to find some hidden treasures or gold mines in the wild. I dreamed of becoming rich overnight."

"One year, I went to Bluestone City in the north and saw a very strange thing in a brothel."

At this point, the soldier's eyes subconsciously showed fear.

"Mr. Rosen, you know that we adventurers can't save money at all. Once we have more money, we will definitely find a way to spend it."

"There are only a few ways to spend money: alcohol, gambling, or women, and I like women."

"That day, I got some money and went to look for my old acquaintance to catch up with the past."

"I knew where she lived, and I didn't see the madam that day, so I went straight to her room to look for her. Just as I was about to reach her room, I heard a very strange sound that I had never heard before."

At this point, the fear in the warrior's eyes became even stronger.

His heart beat faster and his breathing became heavier, but these were all natural and not a disguise.

"This sound is like someone groaning in the dying state, or like a shouting with all one's strength blocked in the throat, mixed with the sound of a wooden stick churning butter. Sir, I know you must have misunderstood at this time, thinking that I am talking about the sound of men and women making love. But I swear to the Eternal Sun, this is definitely not that kind of sound."

Rosen smiled and said, "I believe you will not hear wrongly. Please continue."

The soldier nodded slightly.

"The sound came from a room at the end of the corridor. I was both scared and curious. I didn't know what to think at the time. I hesitated for a moment, then mustered up my courage and quietly went over to observe."

"I saw a door and the sound came from behind it."

"I leaned over the crack in the door to look, and I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life."

The fear on the warrior's face became even stronger, his eyes widened, and his intact left hand subconsciously grasped the transformation table tightly, until his knuckles turned white.

"The room was dark, and I could vaguely see a woman lying on the bed. She seemed to be naked, with her legs spread wide open. Then, a man crawled out from between her thighs!"

"The woman let out a suppressed groan, and what crawled out was not a baby, but a person, an adult woman with long hair!"

"The woman's hair was wet, and there seemed to be blood, or maybe amniotic fluid, I couldn't see clearly. When she crawled out, I heard a 'gurgling' sound."

"After the woman crawled out, she began to clean the mucus off her body. She did it very quickly and skillfully, just as fast as an ordinary child. After she was done, she stood up and turned around."

"There was still some light in the room, coming in from a small window. When she turned around, a ray of light shone on her face."

"To be honest, I was really scared at that moment!"

"That man looked exactly like the woman on the bed! When I turned around to look at the woman on the bed, I found that her body had become very shriveled. It was as if the blood, flesh and internal organs had been drained out, leaving only an empty shell."

"I was terrified and ran out of the brothel as fast as I could. I left Bluestone overnight and never went back to that city again."

Rosen listened carefully, and when the other party finished speaking, he asked, "What's the name of the brothel? Which street is it on?"

"Joy and Love, 271 Saltwater Lane."

"The prostitute I'm familiar with is called Molly. She has a mole on the right corner of her mouth and a blue birthmark on her left chin. If she were still alive, you could tell her about Coyote Ollie and she would definitely remember me because I made her scream when I fucked her."

The information was very detailed and the tone was very natural, so Lai Fu judged it to be the truth.

The value of this story was also very good, so Rosen said, "Very good, I accept this reward."

As he spoke, he had already cast the fine-tuned life spell on the opponent's broken arm.

"Your broken arm is a little itchy. This is a symptom of the broken arm regenerating."

"After you go back, eat more meat and bones to supplement your regenerated arm. In about half a month, you will have a brand new arm."

"Meat costs a lot, and you don't have much in your savings, so you don't have to give it to me."

"Now, go back to where you came from."

As he spoke, Rosen used a sleepwalking spell on the warrior again.

The other party stood up and walked forward along the underground passage in a daze like a sleepwalker.

Of course, the underground passage was also dug by Rosen. It was pitch black inside, with many branch roads and detection seals. The final exit was more than 500 meters away, so there was no need to worry about intrusion.

"Lilin, this is the third story I've heard.

The plots of the stories are all similar, which is that 'a person, like a crab shedding its shell, gives birth to himself'.

Once may be imagination, twice may be an illusion caused by rumors, and three times makes people feel that there may really be some inside stories worth exploring.

Tiralilin asked back, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"When I reach the 13th ring, I will find a chance to go to Bluestone City and investigate the situation carefully."

He has moved to the suburbs of Lyon Town for more than two months and has been concentrating on practicing for more than two months.

I can feel that I am only one step away from reaching the 13th ring of strength.

According to the practice description given by Adela, the soul strength of the 13th ring will increase by an order of magnitude compared to the 12th ring, and the soul size will not change much, but will increase by 30% to 40%.

Higher soul strength will greatly increase the power of spells and provide more precise control over mana.

When it comes to the field of time magic, it means being able to clearly feel a certain basic attribute of time and space.

The specific attributes depend on the gift of the Creator.

In the description of the practice of the Eternal Empire, this phenomenon is called "perception of space-time elements". In the description of the Dawn Empire, it is called "dimensional mastery".

This is very important because an excellent element detection can even greatly eliminate the power gap between the low ring and the high ring.

Therefore, Rosen now wants to increase the strength of his soul as quickly as possible to see what elements he can detect?

In addition, if you are lifted up now, it doesn’t matter even if you fall back to a low ring due to the environment after reaching the outside world, because as long as the environment is suitable and there is enough source of power, you can be lifted up again immediately.

Just like Tilarin at this moment.

She used to be a 22nd-ring strongman. Now that she had come to this demiplane and had enough support from the sun's essence, it took her only two weeks to return to the 13th ring, and she was quickly recovering to the 14th ring.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to return to the 22 rings in a year at most.

On the other side, seeing Rosen say this, Tiralilin said, "Then I will practice as well."

So, each of them occupied a corner in the secret room and focused on their practice.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

That day, the moment Rosen finished his training, he felt his soul tremble slightly and vaguely heard a "crack" sound of ice cracking.

Then, he saw a ball of 'blue light'.

It was very strange that he could see things very clearly even though his eyes were closed.

This blue light is very strange.

From a distance it looks like fog, but when you look closer you discover that its structure is extremely fine and it is moving all the time, following a very strange pattern that cannot be described in simple language.

Rosen carefully felt it for a while, and then understood the nature of the 'blue light'.

"Oh~ So the Nirvana Sword contains the element of 'Nirvana'!"

"Reducing the probability wave to zero, thus smoothing out the wrinkles in space and time, leading to the annihilation of space and time, so this is how it is done!"

Then discovered again.

'The power of annihilation exists in both the sword and the dagger, and the craftsmanship is excellent, but it is greatly suppressed by this demiplane.'

"No, it should be said that it is out of tune with the laws of time and space in the world, causing the power of Silence to drop significantly."

If they could achieve synchronization, the power of the Sword of Annihilation and the Divine Falling Dagger would be increased by at least an order of magnitude.

In other words, at a distance of 100 meters, his speed of striking the sword went from 5 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

If it were other powerful beings, after sensing the element of Nirvana, they would use this element to create Nirvana-type magical instruments, or spend a lot of time setting up a Nirvana formation.

The reason is that the elements of nirvana are too complex.

But since Rosen has Lai Fu, he can directly develop a powerful time and space destruction spell based on this element.

It is more flexible to use and you don’t have to worry about your weapon being stolen.

He was secretly happy in his heart: "Not bad~ This element is really good."

Looking at Tiralilin again, she has returned to the 14th ring and is starting to strive for the 15th ring.

She also reactivated two space-time elements, namely 'Eternal Light' and 'Mass Mastery'.

Two very strange elements of time and space.

This is naturally good news.

The bad news is that although her soul strength has increased and her elements have been awakened, she does not have Rosen's abnormal spellcasting ability, so the improvement in her combat effectiveness is very limited.

Even if it is upgraded to 22 rings one day, its combat power will probably be at the same level as Patnaros and Adela.

After another five days, Rosen was basically familiar with the newly acquired elements of Nirvana, and also developed some usable Nirvana spells.

Coincidentally, Baron Elliot also wanted to go to Blue Stone City, so we could go together.

"Lilin, let's go."
