In Weilan in late summer, the weather is still hot and the cicadas in the trees are chirping at the top of their lungs.

Fortunately, Swan Lake has abundant water and a refreshing breeze. Walking under the shade of the trees on the lakeside path, you can feel a cool and refreshing comfort.

At the beginning, Rosen and Mother Nature didn't speak, they just walked side by side quietly.

After walking about half a mile, Rosen heard a voice as mellow and soft as a swan feather coming from beside him.

"Duke, we have won a great victory in this naval battle. No allied kingdom will come to provoke you in the next few years."

Rosen smiled faintly: "Not just a few years, in the future, no kingdom in the alliance will provoke me."

"I will also do my best to control the situation in the alliance and ensure that there will be no large-scale internal wars within the alliance."

Mother Nature was stunned: "How can we unify the alliance without a war?"

Rosen smiled faintly: "If it weren't for the foundation laid by Your Majesty, then we would definitely not be able to not fight."

"But Your Majesty has already completed the initial unification of the alliance in terms of ideology, and what I have to do is to continue to strengthen this point until the vast majority of the alliance have an urgent desire for unification."

“Of course there will be some twists and turns, but a large-scale civil war is not necessary.”

At this point, he looked out at the sparkling Swan Lake and said softly, "With a behemoth like the Glorious Empire watching over us, the Alliance must not allow a brutal civil war to occur."

Otherwise, once the fight starts, it will be difficult to stop.

Because the Glorious Empire will definitely fan the flames from behind, and even cause irreconcilable blood feuds between the countries in the alliance.

If this really happens, there will be basically no hope for peaceful reunification in the next few decades.

Mother Nature was still somewhat confused: "The pressure from the Glorious Empire is indeed great, but how can we get the Alliance to unify voluntarily?"

"After all, each country in the alliance has its own ruler, and there is no shortage of ambitious people within each country. You can't just kill all of them like Danger did, right?"

Rosen heard a hint of anger in Mother Nature's words and immediately knew that she did not approve of Danger's actions, so he explained himself.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know Danger would do such a thorough job."

Mother Nature nodded: "I know."

She quickened her pace and stopped under the dense shade of a tree in front of her. Then she turned around and faced Rosen from her back to him.

As she did so, a cool breeze from the lake blew, blowing her thin summer dress tightly against her body, revealing her body outline very clearly, especially the area around her lower abdomen. For a moment, it was as if she was not there.

Rosen took one look and then politely looked away, commenting secretly in his heart.

'Hidden in the gentle maternal nature is the shyness of an unmarried girl, and the full curves reveal a full breath of youth, which is really tempting.'

Mother Nature did not notice Rosen's gaze because she was immersed in her dissatisfaction with Danger.

"Danger is a very arrogant person and will not tolerate any restraining forces."

"It would be fine if he had extraordinary talent, but he doesn't. I'm worried that he will lead Aaron into the abyss of destruction."

When she said this, her face was full of worry.

Rosen consoled him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to restrain him."

Mother Nature felt a little relieved and waved to Rosen: "Come to my side, it's cool here."

Rosen quickened his pace and walked forward. When he reached Mother Nature, he heard her ask, "How do you plan to unify the alliance?"

Rosen smiled and said, "I plan to divide this big thing into a dozen small steps, and move forward one step at a time."

"This way, I won't provoke excessive confrontation. By the time the other party is fully alert, they will have lost the ability to resist, so I can win without fighting."

It's like 'boiling a frog in warm water'.

This time, Mother Nature understood and tilted her head slightly in thought.

After a long pause, she whispered, "It's still difficult and it takes a lot of time."

"You may not have the time."

"Because the countries in the alliance are having a hard time right now, there are too many people and too few things. There is a huge resentment accumulating in all walks of life, I'm afraid."

Rosen naturally knew this: "Your Majesty, I understand this, and I have also thought of a solution."

Having said that, seeing the Mother Nature's crystal clear eyes staring at him without blinking, with a look of thirst for answers, he knew in his heart that this God of Nature was probably really overwhelmed.

“There are only two solutions.”

"Or we can have a fierce fight and make the number of people smaller."

"Either we need to find a way to improve the production efficiency of the entire society and produce more things, especially food production, which must be increased significantly."

“Usually, these two things go together, but I try to control the intensity of the former and give the latter a big push.”

Mother Nature understood and asked, "What can I do?"

Rosen smiled: "Just like the Glorious God, he changed from a god to a human again."

Because the contemporary Goddess of Glory is actually the same person as the Queen of Glory.

Mother Nature frowned slightly: "I became a human. With what identity?"

It seemed as if there was no place for her in the Alliance's mortal world anymore.

"Of course, the Queen of the Natural Alliance."

Mother Nature was shocked and looked incredulous. She took a step back involuntarily, and stared at Rosen in surprise with her emerald green, almost glowing eyes.

"You want to marry me?"

Rosen turned around and smiled: "Your Majesty, is it not possible?"

This is not entirely about personal desire, but more about political considerations.

If he could really marry the Mother of Nature, the difficulty of unifying the Natural Alliance would be greatly reduced.

Mother Nature thought about it carefully and nodded: "Okay, but it's too sudden. I'm not mentally prepared at all."

In her opinion, it is normal for top mages like the Nine Rings, especially the Ten Rings, to have many wives or many husbands.

Her grandfather had countless wives, which is one of the reasons why there are so many dukes of kingdoms in the Natural Alliance.

There are more Lords of Light, so there are many Glorious Nations.

It’s just that the Glorious Empire was more promising, so a great empire emerged.

So, she fully accepted Rosen's statement, but it did not fit in with her personal plans.

After thinking it over, she said, "Duke, let me be honest with you. I'm not planning on finding a man, at least not for the time being, so I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

Now Rosen was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, I thought this was your fourth condition."

Mother Nature was startled and shook her head repeatedly: "Of course not!"

After a pause, her cheeks turned red unconsciously: "Maybe my behavior that day caused you to misunderstand. I apologize to you."

She lifted her skirt slightly and saluted Rosen seriously.

Then, she coughed lightly and said, "My fourth condition is hard to say because it is very difficult to ask."

Rosen became even more curious: "Your Majesty, please tell me. I am fully prepared."

He doesn't have to marry her. After all, a forced melon is not sweet.

Mother Nature took a deep breath and said, "The condition is that I don't want to be Mother Nature anymore. I want to get rid of this identity temporarily, but someone else has to take over. So I hope you can take over for a while, even just for half a year."

Rosen was speechless: "."

He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Mother Nature's face was filled with embarrassment.

"I know this is a little far-fetched, but I'm really tired of hearing people nagging at me all the time."

"Since I took over the position of the chief god of the Natural God Cult, I have never had a peaceful day, even when I was sleeping."

"I've had enough of this!"

As she spoke, Mother Nature completely let go, and her jade-like cheeks turned a bright red because of madness.

Rosen really didn't expect this to happen: "I can't just do this if I want to, right?"

Mother Nature immediately said, "You can do it. You have a magical power of ten rings and an extremely strong soul. No one is more suitable than you."

"As long as you agree, I will lend you the name of 'Mother of Nature Zigrellana'."

"Your Majesty, I think this is very hasty."

"Is it hasty? In fact, I have been preparing for more than 800 years. After meeting you, I patiently waited for you for several months."

There was a look of deep pleading on her face.

"Duke Rosen, please take care of me for a while, or I will go crazy."

“Are there any side effects?”

"There aren't many side effects. There are just countless noises around my ears, big and small, buzzing, day and night, and I can't hear them clearly. It drives me crazy!"

"Will that be any good?"

"Benefits? One thing. It will make the mana more powerful, increasing it by about double."

"I know that's a lot, but it's actually useless because it can't help people break through the ring wall."

Rosen became even more curious. He was curious about any unknown magical phenomenon.

"Your Majesty, you have transferred your real name to me. This is no small matter."

Mother Nature shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's not that serious."

She thought for a moment and said, "My transfer method actually came from another dimension. Don't look at me like that. I know this is a bit illegal, but when I did this, summoning spells hadn't been declared a forbidden spell yet."

"In fact, it is not completely banned now. After all, it is an objective force that can erase existing knowledge, but it cannot stop people's curiosity to explore the unknown."

Mother Nature sighed and said, "You are right, but fear often blinds people's reason and makes them want to destroy the things they fear without knowing right or wrong."

She continued the previous topic: "The principle of transferring the real name is to insert you between me and the Nature Believer, and make you my 'Cabinet Chief Steward'."

"That way I can relax a lot."

Rosen understood and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I, the 'Cabinet Chief Steward', will seize power?"

Mother Nature spread her hands and said indifferently: "If you really like this tedious job, you can always be my 'Cabinet Chief Steward'. I don't mind."

"You and I both know that in today's era, it is only a matter of time before theocracy disappears."

Rosen agreed with this, and in the spirit of studying new knowledge, he said, "Your Majesty, when will we transfer?"

"That depends on whether you have fully mastered the power of nature."

Rosen immediately said, "I have completely mastered the knowledge that Your Majesty has given me, and it has benefited me greatly."

He had already studied the power of nature in depth, and the book given by Mother Nature just made up for some of his deficiencies, allowing him to reach a higher level.

It can even be said that in certain individual directions, his understanding of the forces of nature has even surpassed that of all natural gods.

Mother Nature was not surprised either. After all, the other party had ten rings of magic power and was extremely intelligent.

"Then you can turn now."

As she spoke, she took out a strange ring from her messenger bag. It was of a very simple style and made of a material similar to sapphire.

"This is called the True Name Beacon. I secretly bought it from a traveling wizard 700 years ago."

"One more thing to add, the Plane Traveling Mage was not summoned by me, he came here on his own, and is usually a mage above the 7th level."

"They use all sorts of bizarre methods to travel between different planes, and use the price differences of goods in each plane to make a profit."

After a pause, she explained the transaction: "The traveling wizard told me that the world laws of all the magic circle planes are the same, so the problems encountered are also similar."

"So once I told him my problem, he sold me the ring."

She handed the ring to Rosen.

Rosen took it and examined it carefully: "What is the principle behind it?"

Mother Nature nodded: "I don't know, and the Traveling Mage doesn't know either."

"He told me that this is a strange material formed naturally and then carved using simple techniques."

"What I did was to use a unique soul spell to imprint my real name on it, turning it into a signpost that belongs only to me."

Rosen nodded in confirmation: "The workmanship is indeed a bit rough. As for the composition of this stone, let me take a look. Hmm~~ Interesting."

He discovered that this thing could automatically repel the detection of external forces.

He used four or five detection spells in succession, but they were all deflected. Even when he used pure magic power, it was still deflected.

But I can feel that the rebound force is not strong. If I suppress it forcefully, I should still be able to explore it.

"I've also explored it, but I can't see it clearly. But it does have an effect."

Mother Nature gave me an expression I already knew: "Try it on your finger."

There was no difference between wearing it on the finger and holding it on the hand, so Rosen did it.

After putting it on, Mother Nature said again: "I, Mother Nature Sieglerna, appoint Duke Rosen Saxony as the administrator of my church."

As she said this, she stretched out her finger, condensed a strong soul breath at her fingertips, and gently tapped Rosen's ring.

At this moment, Rosen felt a lot of buzzing noises in his head, as if he was in a noisy square with countless people.

When I looked up at Mother Nature again, I saw her sighing and looking relieved: "Did you hear that?"

Rosen nodded: "I heard it. It is indeed very uncomfortable."

He immediately took off the ring, and the buzzing sound in his head disappeared immediately. He looked at Mother Nature again, and worry reappeared between his brows.

"The annoying sound is back."

Rosen put the ring back on, and the voice appeared in his mind again.

Mother Nature looked deeply apologetic.

"How about this, we can each do it half the time. You do it during the day, I do it at night, or we can switch back and forth."

Rosen was very surprised: "It seems that if I just put the ring on someone randomly, it can be transferred."

Mother Nature shook her head: "It can be transferred, but most people can't stand it."

"The wearer must have a strong soul, the stronger the better, at least eight rings of magic power or above. If it is not enough, he will become a madman after a long time. If it is below the third ring magician, he will be finished the moment he wears it."

"My father is a seventh-ring master, and my mother is also a seventh-ring master, so they can't share the burden with me. Although my grandfather is a ninth-ring master, he is so old that he is only left with one breath."

"Well, I am indeed the right person."

Rosen silently said in his heart: "Laifu, try to block out the noise in your mind."

'The noise has been blocked.'

'We have discovered a huge amount of complex psychic power and are trying to isolate it.'

This is normal, because when believers pray, their hearts surge. Over time, a spiritual resonance will occur between believers and God, and this should be the source of the "buzzing" noise.

With Rosen's magical powers, it should be easy to isolate the influence of these non-aggressive and complex mental forces.

But soon, an unexpected change occurred.

'The power of the mind has been isolated, but a new power has been discovered. The estimated order level is 0.5, which is lower than the power of the ring and higher than the power of the soul.'

'This power cannot be isolated and is merging into the soul.'

Rosen has already vaguely felt this power.

It is very weak and one must concentrate to perceive it vaguely. The soul touch is somewhat like the power of the magic ring, but its specific manifestation is different.

Because at Rosen's point, the power of the ring can no longer strengthen his soul, but this strange power is still strengthening his soul bit by bit.

Although the speed is very, very slow and almost imperceptible, it is indeed improving.

Rosen was shocked: "How can this happen?"

This was the first time he encountered this strange power, so he had to study it carefully.

So he said to Mother Nature: "Your Majesty, I will wear it for a year and see how it goes."

"Thank you very much!"

Mother Nature relaxed her brows, waved to Rosen, and turned to leave.

But after turning around and walking a few steps, he seemed to feel that it was a bit unfair to Rosen to leave like this.

Then he walked back and said: "I know you must be dizzy and confused now, but I don't have anything to repay you, so I will just give you a hug as a comfort."

She walked up to Rosen and gave him a gentle hug.

He wanted to hug her and leave, but Rosen immediately seized the opportunity and held her in his arms.

The latter struggled but failed to break free, so he let Rosen hold him, but gently reminded him: "But only like this, don't go too far."

Rosen nodded slightly and asked a few related questions.

"Does the ring restrict our actions?"

"No, just wear it. You can go wherever you want, even across the plane."

"If it's really uncomfortable, take it off and put it back on after a few days. Don't force yourself."

Rosen assured earnestly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will always wear it."

Mother Nature pursed her lips, looked up at Rosen, and said seriously: "Duke, sometimes a simple sentence may cost a huge price."

"I hope you won't be so stubborn and take it off when you can't hold on, or you'll end up hating me for it."

Rosen did not argue: "Time will prove my words."

Then he asked: "So, Your Majesty, are you planning to become a planeswalker?"

Mother Nature smiled shyly: "Yes, I have had this idea for a long time and even made a lot of preparations, but I was always bound by family responsibilities."

Rosen felt emotional.

Countless people yearn to possess the glory of Mother Nature, but Mother Nature herself just wants to get rid of it all.

Everyone has their own aspirations.

"Open your heart and the annoying noise will never bother you again."

Mother Nature did not leave Rosen's arms immediately.

After a long silence, she also sighed: "The feeling of hugging a man is much better than I imagined."

"I won't be traveling for too long. When I get tired of the life of a planeswalker and you don't change your mind, I will come back and be your queen."

After saying this, she tiptoed and kissed Rosen on the cheek.

Then he turned and trotted away.

After running more than ten meters, he suddenly turned around and quickly knelt down to Rosen and saluted: "Duke, thank you again for your help. I feel more relaxed than ever before."

Then she ran away like a bird from a cage.

Rosen wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he raised his hand to look at the blue jade ring in his hand, which was called the "beacon of the true name", and his mind became concentrated again.

'This is really good stuff.'
