Two hours later, Queen Egdelyn of the Eternal Empire was finally leaving.

"Your Majesty Rosen, we have been out for long enough. We must go back."

"I will be waiting for you in the Eternal Palace."

"Also, take these two things. I hope they will be helpful to you."

Queen Egdelyn handed Rosen a crystal and a scroll.

After Rosen took it, she explained in detail the uses of the two objects.

"The crystal is the key to the teleportation array in the back garden of the Eternal Palace."

"With this thing, you can quietly teleport into the back garden of the Eternal Palace without alerting anyone."

Rosen probed a trace of power into the crystal, sensed it carefully, nodded and smiled: "Not bad, otherwise I really need to spend some effort."

The reason is that this crystal is also a true artifact composed of source material. Because it naturally has a switch function, it was processed by a genius wizard into a very complicated secret key.

Of course Rosen could crack it, but it would take a lot of time and effort.

I think this is one of the reasons why the Goddess of Annihilation has not been able to infiltrate Moon City.

"What about this scroll?"

"This is the status hierarchy chart of the Moon City Eternal Nobles."

As Queen Egdelin said this, her expression was complicated, filled with hatred and helplessness.

"Eternal Noble? That title sounds intimidating."

Queen Egdelin nodded gently. "The so-called eternal nobles are the highest-ranking nobles in the Eternal Empire. Their family titles are hereditary and they have many eternal privileges, such as unlimited immunity from death and priority in material support."

"No one, including me, can deprive the eternal nobility of their glory."

Rosen thought this was a bit outrageous.

"Why?"

"For this glory is deep in the heart of eternity."

After a pause, Queen Egdelyn began to explain in detail.

"The Heart of Eternity is the Empire's auxiliary intelligent puppet. Similar to Alice of the Dawn Empire, our Heart of Eternity also has a name, Juliet."

"Juliet's function is much more powerful than Alice's. It has been more than 100,000 years since its creation. Its core has been improved and reinforced by generations of magic sages in the empire. It has reached an incredible and even incomprehensible level."

Speaking of this, a hint of awe flashed in the queen's eyes.

Rosen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you afraid of Juliet?"

Egdelin nodded, not hiding her emotions.

"Yes, I am afraid of her. I am not the only one. Everyone in Moon City is afraid of her."

Having said this, a bitter smile appeared on her face again.

"But at the same time, we can't live without her care."

"Juliet has taken care of our lives."

"She is also fully responsible for the production and distribution of all materials in the empire. She is also responsible for the security and defense of Moon City and daily city maintenance."

"Many times, I feel that I am not a queen, but a child who will never grow up, and my mother is Juliet."

The more Rosen listened, the more shocked he became. For some reason, he had a faint premonition of danger in his heart.

For him now, any premonition of danger is a warning from the Thread of Time and must be taken seriously.

He concentrated carefully to distinguish the vibrations of the thread of time, and soon came to a somewhat surprising conclusion.

"I'm afraid that this Empire's intelligent auxiliary puppet named Juliet has undergone some uncontrollable changes."

In essence, an intelligent puppet is a man-made tool, and all its behavioral logic is the result of pre-setting by the wizard.

It should be absolutely controllable.

For example, Lawson’s Laifu.

Although it is composed of source materials, its essence is a collection of probability algorithms based on source materials.

It is completely under Rosen's control, and every ability it possesses is trained by Rosen.

Rosen also has the same abilities as Lai Fu, but he is not as efficient and stable as Lai Fu.

Therefore, Lai Fu's role is to enhance Rosen's ability boundaries.

This is the greatest significance of the existence of tools.

But from Egdelyn's description, this Juliet seems to have broken through the boundaries of tool definition.

After a moment's silence, Rosen suddenly asked, "Did Juliet seal off the three abysses?"

"Yes, all three planes are managed by Juliet."

"Where is Juliet's core? Moon City?"

Egdelyn shook her head: "I don't know."

"you do not know?!"

Rosen thought this was a bit ridiculous.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Egdelin's face. "This work was originally handled by the Imperial Elders Council, and there have never been any problems over the years."

"But after Antoine fell, he took advantage of the meeting of the Elders to launch a surprise attack, killing all 600 elders."

"So, we have effectively lost the ability to manage Juliet."

Rosen's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Such a huge empire, don't you have a backup plan?"

"Of course there was, but the war lasted for hundreds of years, the situation got completely out of control, and all the backup plans failed one after another."

Rosen was a little frightened when he heard this.

The facts that I thought I had fully understood were once again shrouded in a thick cloud of darkness.

Because if it was really what he thought, then since Egdeline was alive and well, it meant that she was judged to be a non-threatening person.

Since there is no threat, naturally they won't know too much key information.

As the saying goes, it is useless to ask, and it may even alert certain entities hidden behind the scenes early.

So, who is the mastermind behind this? Is it some talented and ambitious person who secretly cracked Juliet's core?

Or did something unexpected happen to Juliet's core itself, giving rise to self-awareness?

unknown.

Only careful investigation can give us the answer.

"It's almost time, you should go back."

"good."

Egdelin nodded, and took one last look at Rosen. Suddenly, she straightened her chest and asked with a blushing face, "Your Majesty, you seem to like them very much?"

Rosen laughed: "No, it's not like, it's love that is hard to refuse."

Egdelin's cheeks turned even redder: "Then I will wait for your majesty to love them again."

After saying this, her cheeks turned red enough to seem like blood was dripping out, and she turned around and hurried out of the room.

Because the speed was too fast, ripples suddenly formed and turbulent waves appeared.

Rosen sighed inwardly, "Hey, who can refuse so enthusiastically?"

After the sigh, there was caution.

"Is this a pink trap set for my preferences?"

He narrowed his eyes: "Let time reveal the truth."

Considering that the existence of the Goddess of Annihilation might threaten Egdelin's safety, he concentrated his mind and tracked Egdelin's soul all the way. Only after he escorted her safely back to Moon City did he withdrew his gaze with relief.

Then pick up the Atlas of Eternal Nobility and take a look.

"Five great princes, twelve great dukes, twenty-seven marquises, seventy-six earls, three hundred and eight barons. Moon City, with a diameter of only 500 kilometers, actually has so many eternal nobles."

"With the orders issued by Queen Egdelin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even leave the palace."

Such a queen who was raised in a greenhouse issued an order to block the three abyss planes and successfully implemented it. The sense of incongruity is really strong.

Like an eight-year-old kid killing a dragon with a hammer.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the truly powerful one is definitely not the child, but the hammer.

"So, what is the power of this hammer?"

I don’t know, but even if Rosen has ignited the divine fire, he must not be underestimated.

Because the Moon City protected by this "hammer" has long prevented the infiltration of the mortal incarnation of the Goddess of Annihilation.

He looked down at the crystal key that Egdelin had given him, and tossed it back and forth in his hand.

"Don't use this thing lightly. If you really want to teleport it, you might just walk into a trap."

Whatever the truth is, Juliet, this 'tool', is extremely powerful.

The depth, breadth and sophistication of the thinking of such an intelligent puppet that has been developed to the extreme are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Rosen did not dare to underestimate her in the slightest, and even felt that she was many times more terrifying than the Goddess of Annihilation.

Because this Juliet actually possesses a high-powered military force that can directly destroy his natural empire!

A single shot from a super star destroyer could turn the Natural Empire into a dead zone.

What should we do now? After thinking for a while, Rosen came to the conclusion: "We must first ensure the safety of the base!"

His base is the natural empire in the natural plane.

Only with this basic foundation can he have endless power.

So it must not be destroyed.

How to guarantee it?

A head-on confrontation is definitely not possible, because the Eternal Empire's powerful force far exceeds that of the Natural Empire.

It takes skill.

After thinking carefully, Rosen came up with an idea: "I'll just hide the natural plane."

He couldn't do it before, but now it's no problem, and it's not even a difficult thing.

Because he not only inherited many time and space manipulation skills from the Dawn Empire, but also possessed the true god's subtle insight and control over time and space.

To him now, big is small and small is big, there is no essential difference between the two.

By utilizing some special space-time manipulation techniques, it only takes a small amount of effort to completely hide a plane. Even the space-time disturbances caused by the plane can be hidden without a trace, which is more perfect than hiding the abyss.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he created a plane-hiding magic based on his existing knowledge. Then he urged himself slightly and handed this extremely complicated magic to Lai Fu.

"Begin the spell now."

"Casting, estimated consumption of 80% of essence."

"The spell was cast successfully. The plane has been successfully hidden. The space-time mark has been completely erased. The waste entropy generated by the plane has been successfully linked to the Dawn Glory Necklace."

The so-called waste entropy is roughly equal to the chaotic energy dissipated by the natural plane into the starry sky.

A mature hunter can track down the exact coordinates of the natural plane based on this energy.

But now, Rosen used the skills of time and space to connect this energy to the collapsed Dawn demiplane, and absorbed it completely, thus completely hiding all traces of the natural plane.

After ensuring the safety of the base, Rosen walked to the window and gazed at the Moon City hanging high in the sky.

"What is the truth?"
