night.

Bluestone City Guard Suburbs.

In this area, the closer to the moat of Bluestone City, the denser the buildings are. The farther away, the sparser the buildings are, but the quality of the buildings is gradually improving, and exquisite manors and villas are gradually appearing.

Called by some mysterious power that Rosen could not perceive, Gilles walked towards the outskirts of Bluestone City under the cover of night.

At first, there were still some street lights providing lighting, but gradually, the street lights disappeared, leaving only a thick, indissoluble darkness.

"Lord Roger, I can't see at all."

Rosen immediately removed the time barrier that was wrapped around Gilles' body: "What now?"

"I can see it again, and it's still very clear."

"In my hometown, only those who are blessed by the gods can have such abilities."

"You say, am I cursed by the evil god?"

Rosen shrugged: "I don't know, maybe."

The two walked one after the other along the dirt road in the suburbs. After walking for about ten miles, they entered an area of ​​low hills with undulating terrain.

The environment became extremely desolate. No houses could be seen in any direction, and the movements of wild animals gradually increased.

This is a desolate wilderness with few people.

Gilles was a little scared: "Lord Roger, do you think we will encounter monsters?"

Rosen reminded him, "Don't worry, you are a monster now, and others should be afraid of you."

This statement made Gilles a little sad, but it did greatly reduce his timidity.

After walking along a mountain road for a while and bypassing a dense forest, we saw dim lights in a remote valley.

"There are people living in the valley!" Gilles whispered.

Rosen nodded: "I saw it, it should be the summoner's residence."

After walking a little closer, I could see the outline of the building. It was a large manor built against the mountain.

The manor is surrounded by a 4-meter-high stone wall, which encloses a square flat area of ​​more than 80 meters in length and width. Behind the wall is a three-story building made of stone and wood. There are many rooms in the building. From the front window, there are at least 50 rooms.

The lights you saw before were reflected from a window on the third floor.

Gilles was frightened again: "Lord Roger, I can feel that the summoner is in the manor, and I can also feel that there are many people like me in the manor."

Rosen was moved when he heard this: "A lot. How many?"

"I counted and it seemed like there were about 100 of them."

"I can also feel that many people are stronger than me. Five of them are much stronger than me. I feel an uncontrollable fear. No, it should be despair. It's like facing a mad barbarian alone."

Gilles' voice was trembling.

Even if he turned and ran the next moment, Rosen would not be surprised.

But of course he didn't turn around and run, because he had no choice now.

Rosen felt a little sympathetic towards the unfortunate fellow, so he comforted him softly: "Since the summoner has spent so much effort to summon you, as long as you obey him, he will not easily hurt you."

"Of course, he may force you to do something you don't want to do, but don't worry, I will accompany you into the manor."

These words greatly comforted Gilles. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much, Master Roger."

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the manor.

With a powerful enemy right in front of him, Rosen dared not be careless at all.

He had taken back 95% of Lai Fu's computing power and invested it all in "Heart of the God of War", leaving only the remaining 10% to maintain control over the emperor puppet of the Natural Empire.

There is no worry about losing control of the empire.

First, the speed of time in this demiplane is 1,000 times faster than that in the main plane. One hour here is less than four seconds in the main world. The main world is basically unaware of the slow reaction of this short period of time.

The second reason is that after being promoted to the 13th ring, the soul strength has skyrocketed, and Lai Fu's computing power has also increased significantly. Even if only half of the computing power is used, the normal operation of the Natural Empire can be maintained.

He didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, but instead felt a faint sense of excitement.

With a sharp sword in hand, magic in heart, and the "Heart of the God of War" that has been honed for many years, it would be a waste if you don't test its sharpness.

"Crack~~~"

The iron gate of the manor opened, and the one who opened the door was a handsome man in black who was no less handsome than Gilles.

After opening the door, he looked at Gilles and Rosen, then fixed his eyes on Rosen, with a wicked smile on his face: "Warrior, you've come to the wrong place~"

Although he said this, he did not make any movement to drive it away, and there was a clear sense of condescension in his eyes, as if a powerful man high above was looking down on an insignificant ant.

Rosen was not surprised by this.

Because he is now playing the role of a mortal warrior, and monsters like Gilles do have the powerful force to look down on mortal warriors.

He smiled slightly: "I came here with my friend Gilles. No matter what, I have to be with him."

"Since you insist, come in together."

The handsome man bowed slightly as an invitation, with a nonchalant look on his face.

Rosen placed his left hand on the artifact "Glory Orb" and his right hand on the hilt of the artifact "Sword of Annihilation". He took a half step to the side of Gilles and entered this mysterious mountain manor with him.

"Crack~~Click~"

The big iron gate behind them closed again, and then the handsome man in black who opened the door to greet them took a few quick steps and came in front of them to lead the way.

With the help of the spell "Dark Insight", Rosen has dark vision that is not inferior to Gilles'.

He could see clearly that although there were almost no lights in the manor, there were many people gathered in groups of three or four in the yard.

These people include both men and women, all very young, and the men are extremely handsome and the women are very beautiful. If they appear in public, they will definitely be dazzling presences that attract the attention of ordinary people.

The only thing that made Rosen feel a little comfortable was that these people were so feminine.

It would be fine if the woman was feminine, but the man was also like that, which makes people feel eerie.

These people were originally very calm, but when they saw Rosen and Gilles enter the yard together, they suddenly showed surprise on their faces. They all cast their eyes on Rosen, as if they didn't understand why he was here.

But the look of surprise lasted for a while, and then turned into "curiosity", "gloating" and other expressions of watching the show.

Many people smiled at Rosen, but no one really took Rosen seriously.

After a while, the handsome man in black brought the two to the gate of the main building of the manor.

The door was large and very solid, made of hardwood inlaid with iron, and was currently closed.

Rosen raised his eyebrows: "Why, no?"

"Of course you can, but the master has a bad temper, and he especially doesn't like rough warriors who like to play heroes. If you die tragically because of this, don't blame me for not warning you."

Rosen narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Well, thank you for your reminder."

The handsome man in black shrugged, and the men and women in the yard laughed again after hearing Rosen's reply, as if they had witnessed something rare and funny.

"Squeak~"

The handsome man in black pushed open the door, revealing a dimly lit gorgeous hall behind it. At the same time, a strong smell of blood rushed out from behind the door. Combined with the dark red decorations in the hall, it created an extremely depressing atmosphere.

Gilles' face turned pale and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably, but a faint scarlet light shone in his eyes.

Rosen could see clearly that Gilles' mind was afraid, but the strange power in his body was excited, as if a lost child had returned home.

A feminine male voice came from deep in the hall.

"Come in, my servant~"

Gilles hesitated, but couldn't resist the instinct deep in his body and was forced to step into the hall.

Rosen glanced at the handsome man in black at the door, who still had a gloating look on his face and did not make any move to stop him.

He continued to walk into the hall.

The floor of the hall was covered with thick dark red carpet. After walking along the carpet for more than thirty meters, I saw an ornate high-backed bench with a man sitting on it.

The man had scarlet hair and a delicate and feminine face. He wore a scarlet crystal spiked crown on his head, a gorgeous scarlet silver silk robe, and held a scarlet jewel and black wood cane in his hand.

Judging from his facial features, the man looks very young, but judging from his temperament, he is full of vicissitudes, as if he has gone through countless years.

Rosen observed the other party quickly.

No illusion of time and space was found on the body, indicating that the other party's soul also came from another world.

The soul aura is very condensed, at least as high as 18 rings, very strong, much stronger than Rosen, but it is nothing in this demiplane.

The jeweled cane in his hand is very special.

To be more precise, it is the scarlet gem inlaid on the cane that is very special.

He could clearly feel that the gem was emitting an obscure but non-negligible time fluctuation. The characteristics of its fluctuation had many similarities with Gilles' soul structure, but the degree of cohesion was extremely high.

Rosen felt that Adela's time spell was much more concentrated than that of the 21st ring of strength, and it was very likely that she had reached the 23rd ring, or even exceeded the 23rd ring.

It is entirely possible for a magical weapon to appear that surpasses the 23rd ring.

For example, the 'Orb of Time' given by the Witch Patnaros comes from the Sun Ring, and its strength exceeds the 23rd ring.

Adela and Tiralilin had both told Rosen that the magical instruments beyond the 23rd ring had extremely incredible powers that were even incomprehensible to mortals, so they were given the same name by the two empires, namely "true divine instruments".

A thought flashed through my mind: 'This gem cane is the key, I must focus on it.'

A true divine weapon must be incredibly powerful, but the person who uses it is far from powerful enough.

So although Rosen was alert, he didn't feel scared.

At this time, a feminine male voice came from the front again.

"Ah~~ A blood guard who comes to me on his own initiative is really rare."

This was obviously directed at Rosen.

Rosen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can I know where this place is?"

"This is the mortal temple of the great Tslokavid."

"And I am Ackerman, the blood mage who worships the Great One. Umm~~~ You are not bad looking, but your temperament is too strong, which is not quite what I want."

The feminine man who called himself a blood mage looked Rosen up and down like a slave owner looking at a slave in the market.

Finally, his eyes fell on Rosen's sword of annihilation: "Oh~ your sword is quite good. So, it seems that you should be a demon hunter of the Church of the Eternal Sun?"

Rosen remained noncommittal: "My identity is not important. What is important is that I hope you can lift the curse for my friend Gilles."

"curse?"

Ackerman showed a trace of anger on his face: "You call the blessing of eternal life a curse?!"

Without waiting for Rosen's response, he immediately suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, because God never blames the ignorant."

"Now, kneel down and accept Tslokavid's blessing of eternal life."

Rosen placed his hand on the sword of annihilation and shook his head slowly: "Master Ackerman, I insist, otherwise..."

"Or you'll draw your sword?"

Ackerman completely ignored Rosen's threat.

He smiled and said, "I can see that you have great strength and extraordinary courage. You should be one of the most powerful demon hunters in the church."

"But you made a mistake."

As he spoke, Ackerman clapped his hands gently, and the men and women in the yard walked into the hall one after another. There were a total of 119 people, surrounding Rosen and Gilles in the middle.

Moreover, five men and women stood in front of Ackerman, acting as his guards.

"Even the most powerful demon hunter cannot fight against two blood guards at the same time, and I have far more than two blood guards here."

"You shouldn't have come here alone, but since you are here, you only have two choices."

"Either choose to accept the blessing or die."

Ackerman's voice was as gentle and calm as ever, as if he was the god who controlled fate.

The blood guards present also let out low laughs, looking at Rosen as if they were looking at a small mantis waving its sickle claws in front of the carriage.

Rosen looked at the blood mage and smiled: "It seems that we have to speak with swords."

He dared to come alone, and when he found that his opponent had more than a hundred people, he still dared to enter the yard alone.

It's not because of arrogance, but because he is confident that he can destroy all opponents.

Obviously, Ackerman has the same confidence, and his confidence is even stronger than Rosen's.

He placed the scarlet jewel cane horizontally on his knees and leaned back, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

"Warrior, please speak up and show me how loud your words can be."
