The area where Rosen is currently located is called Aoshuang Kingdom.
Lanshi City is one of the largest cities in the Ao Shuang Kingdom, second only to the capital Bai Ze City in size.
From a geographical point of view, Lanshi City is one of the three satellite cities of Bai Ze City.
The Ao Shuang Kingdom has imposed considerable restrictions on population movement between its territories.
If a commoner wants to travel across territories, he must obtain an identity certificate issued by the local lord.
Otherwise, they would be regarded as unprotected refugees by lords in other places and captured and enslaved.
Fortunately, Rosen has connections with the Baron of Lyon Town.
The Baron and his family were going to Bluestone City to attend the triennial knight tournament, so Rosen and Tilalilin followed as entourage.
The Baron family, who knew Rosen's power well, would be more than happy to have this happen.
'Wheel~~Wheel~~~'
At this moment, three carriages and a guard team of 200 elite warriors were traveling on the road heading north.
The Baron and his wife's carriage was in the middle, and their carriage was naturally the largest and most luxurious.
In the front was the simple carriage of his trusted confidants, and the last carriage belonged to Rosen and Tiralilin.
"Clatter~~Clatter~~"
Suddenly a black crow flew from a distance and landed on the window sill of Rosen's carriage. It pecked the window gently with its beak and stared at Rosen with its dark red eyes.
There was a familiar aura of magic on the black crow; it was Adela's magical messenger.
Rosen opened the window and the black crow jumped in immediately.
After Rosen closed the window, Black Crow began to speak in human language, and his voice was exactly the same as Adela's.
"There are two important news."
"First, the Dark Brotherhood is looking for you everywhere and has sent out at least 30 Blood Hand Assassins with at least 12 rings of power and carrying the Essence of Eternity. Their leader is none other than Cicero, the former head of the Imperial Sage of the Dawn Empire."
"You must be careful and pay attention to the restrictions on the use of the Sword of Extinction."
"Second, at the Knights' Tournament in Bluestone City, you must find a way to disguise yourself as a wandering knight from the Kingdom of Cologne, and then save someone at the agreed location. Then, an important figure will take a fancy to you and lead you into the upper class of the Aoshuang Kingdom."
"I believe it won't be difficult for you to disguise yourself as closely as possible."
After finishing the message, Black Crow stared at Rosen and asked, "Have you confirmed receipt?"
Rosen nodded: "Message received."
As usual, the black crow messenger was fed water and food. After a short rest, he flapped his wings and flew away from the carriage.
In the carriage, Rosen whispered to his sage: "Cicero actually joined the Abyss. Do you think he did it voluntarily or was he forced?"
Tiralin responded with great confidence: "Cicero is a staunch radical who hates the Abyss very much and has always believed that Oletus is too weak."
"There is no way he would voluntarily join the Abyss."
In other words, it is most likely forced.
It's normal to think about it. After all, he entered such a hellhole alone. Even if he brought some sun essence and could use time and space spells, his combat power level was at best similar to that of Adela's sisters, which was far from enough to fight against the Dark Brotherhood.
If you are not familiar with the place, you will be captured if you are not careful.
If he didn't join the Brotherhood by then, he would die.
And Cicero certainly didn't want to die.
"In this case, the Dark Brotherhood also has a Dawnbreaker guide."
This is really not a good thing.
Tiralilin corrected him: "It should be a guide with ulterior motives."
"Cicero was once a strong man at the peak of the 22nd ring, and he almost broke through to the 23rd ring. He will never be content to be a slave."
This is good news amidst the bad news.
Next, Rosen began to prepare to disguise himself as a wandering knight.
He didn't know much about the situation in the Kingdom of Cologne, but the good news was that there were several people from Cologne among Baron Elliot's guards.
Rosen learned from these Cologne people.
In addition to learning Cologne, you will also learn various common sense about the Kingdom of Cologne, as well as some personality traits shared by Cologne people.
Ask questions openly and observe secretly, and try to learn as much as possible.
In this demiplane, even within the kingdom, there are still a large number of semi-civilized and wild areas occupied by wild beasts, bandits and some inexplicable things.
For safety reasons, even the fully armed baron team was very cautious when marching, so naturally their speed was not fast.
According to the itinerary, the total distance is about 800 kilometers, which will take at least half a month.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
The team walked for about a hundred kilometers and entered a wasteland called the Howling Wilds.
As we walked along a weed-covered dirt road, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky and the wind began to blow.
"Woooo ...
The wind was running wildly across the endless wasteland like a wild horse, and the sound of the wind was whistling fiercely, as if a ghost was howling in the sky.
"It's going to rain. Judging from the situation, the rain will not be light."
"Stop moving forward and find a high ground to set up camp!"
The accompanying knights, knights' squires, elite guards, and followers immediately made arrangements with ease.
Soon, a temporary camp was built on a high ground.
Before long, the rain began to fall and soon developed into a storm, violently destroying everything in the Howling Wilderness, including the tent that had just been built.
"This is really horrible weather."
Rosen and Tiralilin had a separate tent.
He handed the meat-filled bread that had been warmed by magic to the latter: "Here you go."
"Thanks."
Tiralilin took Rosen's food with one hand and stuffed it into her mouth one bite at a time like a machine. With the other hand, she held a spherical magic weapon the size of an adult's fist and played with it over and over again, unable to let it go.
Rosen reminded her, "Lilin, the bread is almost stuck in your nose. Eat it first before you watch."
Tiralilin smiled sheepishly and put down the magic weapon.
"The magical instrument you made is really beautiful, and the craftsmanship is very high. It is almost comparable to the level of the Royal Creation Bureau's refining equipment."
"Honestly, if I hadn't seen you build it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that human power could reach such a height."
Rosen took a sip of wine and swallowed the bacon in his mouth: "The best tools in the world are always made by people, right?"
"That being said, the biggest characteristic of manpower is instability. When it's high, it's very high, and when it's low, it's horribly low. It's OK if the number is small, but once it reaches a certain scale, it's even harder to compare with industrial puppets."
"You're right, so I can only reach this level when I concentrate fully."
Rosen took the magic weapon and tossed it up and down. "Even if I have a powerful divine body, I can only persist in making more than 10 at most. The eleventh one will be a big loss."
In fact, this magic weapon was a product controlled by Lai Fu. A total of four were made and they were usually used as lighting.
He could have done it on his own, but it wouldn't be this precise.
As he spoke, he picked up the spherical magic weapon and shook it vigorously a few times. The magic weapon then emitted a soft, steady light, illuminating the interior of the tent as clearly as day.
The strange thing is that this light has a very obvious boundary. Once you go beyond the tent, you can no longer feel it. Even when looking inside from outside the tent, you cannot feel the existence of the light. Only when you enter the tent can you suddenly feel the light.
It's like a ball of light wrapped in a layer of 'soap bubbles'.
This is the "Glory Orb" created by Rosen under the guidance of Tiralilin using the elements of "Eternal Light" that he mastered.
It may look ordinary, but it is actually a very powerful artifact of time and space. The light it emits can not only define boundaries, but also pierce through all darkness.
In addition to the Glory Orb, the same principle was used, borrowing the elements of Tiralililin's "Mass Mastery" to create several cubic space-time artifacts called "Hercules".
Its function is to make an object as light as a feather become as heavy as a thousand pounds, or vice versa.
Of course, although it is a divine weapon, the law of conservation of energy is still in effect, and energy cannot be created out of nothing. Therefore, the "Hercules" magic weapon still has many restrictions on its use.
But no matter what, it's much better than nothing.
Back to the topic.
The two of them enjoyed the delicious meal while discussing the details of the magic, and soon filled their stomachs.
He was not idle either, and continued to practice.
The rain in the wilderness was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was getting darker and darker, and gradually it became completely dark.
Considering that there were more than 200 elite soldiers guarding the camp, and he himself had set up many detection seals and defensive spells around the camp, Rosen was in a relaxed mood, just treating this journey as a sightseeing trip.
When the training was complete, he held Tiralilin's warm body and played his daily games, despite her limp protests.
While playing, Rosen suddenly felt a shock in his heart and stopped immediately: "Something is wrong."
Tira Lilin was stunned: "Really? Why didn't I feel it?"
The strength of her soul is close to the 15th ring, and she has a very powerful talent for time. If there is real danger, she will immediately feel the trembling of the thread of time.
But she did not dare to ignore Rosen's words, because the latter's talent for time was much stronger than hers.
She immediately asked, "Is the thread of time trembling?"
Rosen shook the soaked gun and said, "No. It was the detection spell that found the anomaly. The surroundings are too quiet, too quiet."
The ears couldn't tell, it was Lai Fu "Heart of the God of War" who called the police.
Tiralin slapped Rosen's arm in anger and said, "You're still making trouble at this time!"
Then he pricked up his ears again and listened: "I only heard the sound of wind and rain."
Big drops of rain kept hitting the tent, making a 'pat pat' sound, and nothing else could be heard clearly.
The result of the super high perception of this 14-ring divine body is that if it were an ordinary mortal, they would not be able to hear anything clearly.
Rosen didn't dare to underestimate him at all, because Lai Fu basically never made mistakes.
He quickly put on his clothes, raised his hands to grab the Sword of Annihilation and the Divine Falling Dagger, and put a "Glory Orb" and a "Hercules" into his pockets.
"It's always better to be careful. You stay in the tent. I'll go outside and take a look at the situation."
