night.

Dawn Castle.

Rosen played with the glorious magic weapon in his hand and looked at the angry envoy of the Glorious Empire in front of him.

"If Ms. Irene doesn't agree, I naturally won't force her."

"Then please go back. But the magic weapon will remain with me as an apology for the offense."

As soon as he said this, he keenly noticed that the other party's expression froze, as if he was very concerned about the glorious magic weapon, and this extremely subtle action made Rosen's heart move slightly.

"It seems that this magic weapon has collected a lot of my information, but it may not be able to read it with the other party's ability. It is likely that I have to take this thing back to the Glorious Empire to decipher it."

In this case, he has to understand the principles of this thing, otherwise he won’t even know what information he has leaked.

This matter is essentially a dispute between two countries.

There are open struggles and covert fights between countries.

Often the secret fight is more brutal and pervasive.

If you are not on guard at all times, you may die suddenly and inexplicably.

This is not an unfounded worry. Throughout history, there are countless ambitious kings who have done their utmost to defend their personal safety, but died at the peak of their careers.

At this moment, the voice of the Glorious Envoy was heard: "Is it right here?"

The voice was very soft, full of reluctance, as if it was helpless due to the situation.

But at the same time, there is also a subtle taste that is hard to describe.

Most people cannot experience this feeling, but Rosen vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Another thought popped up in my mind: "Could it be that this envoy himself is also a bait set for me by the Glorious Queen?"

Of course this possibility exists, and it is very high.

Although from the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with the Glorious Envoy, but considering that the Glorious God possesses a type of power that Rosen does not understand, it is naturally possible that he can hide it from Rosen's perception.

In fact, the other party does not need to make targeted arrangements.

Just place traps in every direction that might work, and there's always a chance that one of them will work.

The information currently disclosed about himself is that he is young, strong, ambitious and likes beautiful women.

Look at the imperial envoy in front of you.

She is young, beautiful, plump and graceful, with the arrogance of an envoy from a great country and the reserve and shyness of a dignified lady.

Most men naturally wouldn't dare to have evil thoughts easily, but it was indeed to Rosen's liking.

Even if he hadn't spied on this matter, he would definitely find a way to get a taste of it.

After realizing this, Rosen sighed inwardly.

'As your status rises and your reputation spreads, the number of opponents you encounter also increases greatly.'

I feel that the sensitivity brought by my magic power at the peak of the tenth ring is not enough.

However, the walls of the Ten Rings were extremely solid. Even with Rosen's speed of practice, there was no hope of a breakthrough.

The above thoughts only flashed through his mind, and he immediately chuckled.

"If the envoy doesn't mind, of course."

Anyway, it was already late at night and there was no one waiting outside, so he could take as long as he wanted.

Moreover, this must be done by the original body, because the clone is not sensitive enough and cannot detect enough power information from the other person's blood.

But if the main body does it himself, he may encounter unknown dangers.

After weighing the pros and cons, Rosen chose the latter.

After all, you can't get the treasure without entering the dragon's lair.

So he added: "But don't worry, I've been sitting here all day, let me go to the bathroom first."

There is a secret escape passage behind the study and a private bathroom for the Duke, which is perfectly normal.

The clone immediately stood up and entered the secret passage, and the real body came in.

The clone was not idle either. He immediately took the glorious magic weapon and went to the Adrian family magic laboratory in Dawn Castle.

The instruments and equipment in this laboratory are of extremely high quality, and all kinds of experimental consumables are available.

Although there are no special proprietary tools, there are some good things that cannot be bought through ordinary channels. They are much better than what Rosen found at the White Sturgeon Island Magic Center.

On the other hand, Irene didn't notice the difference at all.

She took a deep breath, as if preparing herself mentally: "I have a husband in China, we just got married not long ago, we love each other very much, I really don't want this to happen."

She really didn't want to do this because she had just gotten married and she and her husband were very loving. She had wanted to resign from her diplomatic mission after returning home this time.

Rosen chuckled, his face showing an even more dissolute look: "Ahaha~ Madam's words really aroused my competitive spirit."

Irene showed obvious disgust on her face: "Duke, you look like a street nouveau riche now!"

Rosen didn't mind.

"I admit that I am a nouveau riche, but you cannot deny that although most nouveau riche become rich due to luck, some of them become rich due to their superior abilities."

“I think I have extraordinary abilities.”

"No one in this world has ever stipulated that people with superior personal abilities must have noble moral sentiments."

"On the contrary, the stronger the ability, the stronger the desire, which is in line with the nature of mortals, isn't it?"

"Huh~~"

Irene let out a long breath: "The Duke is right. Most of the people in high positions in the world are actually villains."

She took off her windbreaker and laid it on the bench by the wall: "Where is it?"

Rosen leaned back: "Sit here."

Irene walked forward, looked down, was immediately startled, and looked hesitant.

"I'm afraid I can't sit down like this."

Rosen shrugged: "Hurry up, my patience is limited."

Irene had no choice but to slowly sit down.

After sitting down, she let out a long breath: "Duke, let me make it clear first, this is only once."

Rosen nodded: "Of course. But I also agreed that this is my time, not yours."

“Does it make any difference?”

“That’s a huge difference.”

Soon, Erin knew the difference.

After lingering in the clouds for several times, she was deeply shocked: "This duke's ability is indeed powerful."

On the other hand, Rosen was not idle.

He continuously transmitted the collected power information back to his clone.

The clone began to quickly analyze the magic experiment.

To be honest, this is not an easy task.

But Rosen himself possesses the super sensitivity of the Ten Rings, and the information he collected from Irene was extremely detailed.

With the human body data from the Haiya Laboratory as a foundation, plus his own research practice and knowledge from Earth, he has a very deep understanding of bloodlines and the human body in other worlds, and he also masters a large number of secret techniques.

Finally, there is the assistance of Lai Fu’s ultra-high computing power.

When encountering some difficult magic locks, ordinary people may not be able to unlock them in their lifetime, but Lai Fu can directly crack them by brute force.

About an hour later.

When Irene was still dying in the clouds, Rosen had already roughly figured out the principles of the power of light and the operating mechanism of the glorious magic weapon.

"Wow~ Awesome~ Really amazing~ This magic weapon is actually an optical information storage chip from another world!"

This storage method is very secretive and very stable.

Because there are countless backup information.

As long as the structure of the magic weapon remains generally intact and is not ground into powder, even if Rosen uses his own power to fill the magic weapon again, he will not be able to completely destroy the stored information.

And it's not only on magic weapons, but also on Irene.

The corresponding detection function was developed into a ninth-ring, extremely precise brilliant spell.

This spell can be used not only on magical instruments, but also on living beings.

But compared to the power of light itself, this magic weapon is just a trinket.

Rosen discovered that the power of light is the power to manipulate light.

The main method of manipulation is to change the speed of light.

There are two ways to change.

One is to change the speed of light in the medium, with the change ranging from 0.1% to 100% of the speed of light in a vacuum.

That’s fine, because it can be done on Earth.

The second is to directly change the speed of light in vacuum.

The range is not that large, approximately 98% to 102%. Every 0.1% change will consume a huge amount of mana.

At first glance, it seems to be of no use.

For the current mages from other worlds, it is probably of little use, because they have limited knowledge of the basic laws of the world.

This is not Rosen's random thought, but the result of careful analysis.

Because he had never heard of the Glorious Empire producing anything amazing that was beyond its time.

This amazing thing can crush an entire era. Now that the Queen has it, there is no way she would hide it away.

So, if you don’t use it, you don’t have it.

But now, when it comes to Rosen, this ability is simply a king bomb! Because the speed of light in a vacuum is far more than just speed, it is a basic constant of the world.

Just a slight change can have a huge chain reaction.

"The power of light can freely control the speed of light, so we can develop various imaging spells and try to develop optical weapons."

"I can change the speed of light in a vacuum and inject more power into various tempered materials, causing the performance of the materials to increase significantly!"

"If we study it to a deeper level, we can even significantly reduce the bottleneck of matter fusion or fission, creating a radiance like that of the sun."

Of course, this is just an application concept at the moment.

How this will be achieved is not clear at this point, and resources need to be invested in research.

The important thing now is business.

Now that he had figured out the principles of the spell, Rosen naturally succeeded in reading the information stored in the magic weapon.

"Hmm, that's interesting. It can actually directly detect my absolute mana strength."

Other powers are not detected, only mana is detected.

Therefore, if you use it on a puppet, you can't actually read anything because the puppet has no mana.

Such an abnormality would expose the existence of the flesh and blood puppet, causing the puppet's danger warning function to become ineffective.

Rosen thought about it and, based on the detection principle of light magic, disguised his own magic power and disguised himself as an early eighth-ringer.

Then, he carefully wrote the disguised message into the Glorious Instrument and Irene's body.

By the time everything was done, Irene was almost fainting.

She couldn't help but sigh: "My Lord Duke, aren't you tired?"

Rosen carefully played with the female intelligence officer who was called an envoy but was actually a spy, and felt very refreshed: "Not enough, far from enough, I really want to grow on Ms. Irene."

Irene has been hovering on the top of the cloud for who knows how many times.

Putting aside her personal prejudices, she had to admit that the Duke was extremely powerful, many times more powerful than her husband at home.

After sitting for more than half an hour, Rosen finally agreed to let her stand up.

As promised, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom and took back the intact glorious magic weapon.

"Ms. Irene, I am a person who values ​​my reputation. I will return this to you."

Irene immediately breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that all her hard work was not in vain.

Immediately afterwards, Rosen quickly wrote a letter in front of Irene.

"I can vaguely sense that your majesty is a very powerful glorious wizard, and his magical power should be far beyond mine."

"I am extremely shocked and very frustrated by this."

At this point, Rosen sighed sadly.

"I have absolutely no intention of becoming an enemy of the Glorious Empire, because I know I am no match for Your Majesty."

Irene was startled: "Why did the Duke suddenly lose his ambition?"

Rosen sighed lightly, his face becoming even more depressed: "It's not that I don't have ambition, it's because I'm rational enough."

He really has no qualifications to compete with the Glorious Empire at the moment, but the other side already attaches so much importance to him.

This was definitely not a good thing, so he was prepared to be humble and show weakness to the Queen.

"I can clearly feel that I have reached the end of my path in cultivating my magical power. No matter how hard I try, it is difficult to make progress, and I can only barely maintain my progress."

When he spoke of the latter part, he could not help but sigh softly, and his face showed all his feelings about his unsuccessful pursuit of the eleventh ring.

So it appears to be genuine and heartfelt.

Irene immediately believed it about 80%.

She saw Rosen writing a letter in front of her and was curious: "Can I see it, Duke?"

Rosen nodded: "Why don't you sit in my arms and watch?"

Irene hesitated, but still did as she was told. As soon as she sat down, she whispered, "Duke, why are you here again?"

Rosen smiled 'wantonly', but his eyes were filled with sadness.

"Ms. Irene, my life has just suffered a huge blow. This is the only hobby I have left. I hope you can help me."

Irene had no choice but to turn around and read the letter. As she read, she was slightly surprised: "So this is why the Black Stone battleship's power is so strong and smooth!"

Rosen nodded: "That's right. I believe that with Ms. Irene's vision, she should be able to tell that what I wrote is true."

"Of course, I won't write about many technical details. I believe that Her Majesty the Great Queen will be able to achieve it easily and surpass my current achievements."

He informed the Queen of the basic principles of the battleship so that she would believe his sincerity in not daring to fight.

But it’s not a loss at all.

Because the treasures he obtained from the power of light greatly made up for this small loss.

Irene nodded: "With the power of our Glorious Empire, as long as we have a successful starting point, we will soon reach the other side of success."

Rosen finished writing the letter and carefully used the seventh-ring peak mana to condense a spell seal. Then, with a thought, he used the magician's hand to summon Irene's clothes and put the letter in her pocket.

"Ms. Irene, I am filled with sadness when I think that such a noble and beautiful person like you will soon leave Weiland and we may never meet again in the rest of our lives."

"Madam, please be kind enough to let me conquer you again?"

Irene was very resistant at first, but since Rosen showed enough sincerity and gave her real things, she was able to exceed her task.

After biting her lip, her heart softened and she nodded gently: "Just once."

No words were spoken that night.

Early the next morning, the Glorious Envoy Ms. Irene left the study exhausted.

As for Rosen.

He was in high spirits and continued to hold the Weilan Citizens' Assembly.

After the conference lasted for five days, most of the issues had been sorted out, but a very serious and extremely difficult to resolve disagreement emerged.

That is, in the face of Weilan's citizen reform, the interests of the earls and nobles in the northern counties were greatly damaged, and even the basis of their existence was not solid.

Many radical civilians even proposed to abolish the aristocracy completely.

The northern nobles were very frightened by this.

This is also a very serious issue that directly concerns Weilan's fate.

Because the Natural Alliance, and even the Glorious Empire, are still in the era of aristocratic politics, Weilan suddenly made such a big step forward and became an outlier.

Outliers, especially those that cause great harm to the nobility, are likely to be isolated by other countries.

This is definitely not a good thing for Weilan.

The differences at the conference became increasingly intense, and the related turmoil even spread beyond the conference.

Aaron, Levinder, even Kao and other envoys of the Natural Alliance, as well as envoys of the Glorious Empire, have been paying close attention to the results of the conference.

Levender and Kao said nothing, but Aaron was extremely happy.

He even started to do all kinds of small things secretly, hoping to cause chaos within Weilan.

After resting for a few days, Irene's body and spirit had fully recovered. She looked at the reports collected by her subordinates and smiled with glee in her heart.

"Rogue Duke, let me see how you deal with this difficult problem!"
