Click~click~click~'

The crisp footsteps sounded very much like the movement of high-heeled wooden shoes, but Rosen felt that something was wrong.

"Laifu, analyze the audio track."

After a few seconds, Lai Fu responded: "It was the sound of some horny substance hitting the floor, slightly harder than a sheep's hoof."

Rosen's heart was slightly shocked: "A woman with long hooves?"

I immediately became defensive.

"Click~~"

The door opened and an ordinary-looking woman walked out.

She looked to be about thirty years old, with dark red almost black hair, dark red almost black eyes, a slightly dark complexion, very ordinary facial features, and was wearing a slightly faded, wrinkled, low-quality cotton summer dress.

The summer dress was thin, so the woman's figure was very ordinary, everything was flat, and her whole body was as dry as a matchstick.

If it were in the aristocratic era of Veran, people with such dress and mental state would not be allowed to enter the Duke's study, let alone approach the castle.

But now is the era of citizens, and everyone is a citizen.

Although there are still many ideas about superiority and inferiority among the people, as a duke who is opening up a new era, he naturally has to set an example.

Rosen squinted his eyes and sensed carefully, but only found five rings of magic power. However, he felt that something was wrong, as if the other party was hiding something.

But this is an unfounded hunch, and Rosen has found no empirical evidence.

After thinking for a while, he said to Alai, "Close the door and open the barrier. I want to talk to Ms. Mediana alone."

Alai did as he was told.

"Click~"

The door was closed and the switch was turned on. The charged arcane lattice immediately released its power, automatically forming four rings of arcane wall in the room.

Rosen returned to his desk, holding the improved third edition Vulcan rifle hidden under the desk in one hand.

The power of this thing has reached the peak of ten rings, and it can fire six times in a row. It is simply a small cannon. Anyone who gets hit six times will die on the spot.

"Ms. Mediana, you deceived my eyes, but you can't deceive my dangerous instincts. Show your true identity."

The woman in front of him had a slightly weird smile on her face, and it felt like an expression that was forced upon her by some force.

This expression usually appears on a face that has been subjected to inferior Transfiguration.

As she smiled, her body began to change rapidly.

After more than ten seconds, a woman with a skinny body and ordinary face turned into a tall foreign woman with a plump figure that was almost bursting through her clothes, delicate features, and a wild and unruly look.

This time it's really a foreign race.

She was not a foreign race like the forest elves or banshees, but a foreign woman with hooves on her feet, two long dark red horns behind her forehead, and milky white skin.

But the strange thing is that Rosen still only felt the magical energy of the five rings.

"My Lord, could you please stop pointing the musket under the table at me? Be careful of accidental discharge."

She spoke, and compared to her huge body, her voice was surprisingly sweet, just like many huge women on Earth who always have sweet voices.

Of course, the size of this foreign woman is different from Pang Shuo.

There was almost no growth in places where flesh shouldn't have grown.

Since she pointed it out, and considering that he was just a clone, Rosen let go of the musket.

He asked, "Are you a succubus?"

He had read many ancient myths of this world, and there were many succubi in those myths.

Some of the mythological illustrations look very similar to the woman in front of us.

The woman smiled: "To be precise, I am from Serila."

"Of course, in your plane, and in many other planes, we are indeed called succubi."

She sighed, "Perhaps it's because the appearance of our people always makes it difficult for you Dritans to control yourself."

"But this is not our fault, and certainly not the fault of your Dritan people, but the fault of the Creator."

Rosen glanced at the foreign woman and nodded in agreement: "The lady's figure does indeed match the expectations of most men for the opposite sex."

"Of course, this is an insignificant detail. What I want to know is, ma'am, what is your purpose?"

Mediana bowed slightly to Rosen.

This movement made her breasts seem to shake, and also allowed Rosen to confirm that she was not wearing any restrictive clothing underneath.

"I come to you for refuge, Your Excellency the Duke." said the succubus.

Rosen didn't comment: "You must be from another dimension. Can't you just go back to where you came from? Why do you need my protection?"

Mediana immediately asked back: "If you escaped from hell, would you be willing to go back to hell?"

"hell?"

Mediana nodded: "In this plane controlled by the great demon Asema, all living beings are Asema's toys."

"Any creature that disobeys it will have its body brutally slaughtered, and its soul pierced by wildfire spikes, wailing until it dies."

"The Duke certainly doesn't know about wildfire spikes, but I'll explain it to you."

"This is a terrifying soul magic weapon, scattered all over the Howling Plains, there are a total of 100 million of them!"

"Duke, you heard it right, one hundred million!"

"Fifty percent of them have already been implanted with souls, which is more than the entire population of Weilan! And the remaining fifty million are constantly being implanted with new souls."

"When a mortal's soul is pierced by it, it will not die immediately, because the wildfire on the spikes will provide strength for the soul, but the damage to the soul's structure caused by the spikes will make the soul feel incomparable and inescapable pain."

"This kind of pain will last for at least a hundred years, and the entire plain will be filled with terrifying wailing."

"Duke, if you are lucky enough to escape from such a world, would you be willing to go back?"

Rosen never thought that there would be such a horrible place in the world.

Just thinking about it gives me a chill down my spine, and I'm also very curious.

"Why did this Asema do this?"

"I'm not a big devil, I don't know. Anyway, he just likes it, and he has the terrible power to do so."

Rosen became even more curious: "No one resisted him?"

Mediana smiled with emotion: "If you were a group of ants, and someone poured scalding water on your home, you would of course think of resisting, but is there any point?"

She sighed softly: "Asema is the great devil! Or rather, the great devil in the void outside the ring!"

As soon as the term "Void outside the Ring" appeared, Rosen fully understood the power of the great demon.

Since this kind of existence can survive in the void outside the ring, it must possess power beyond the eleventh ring. This alone is enough to make Rosen look up at it.

Mediana's voice came.

Rosen became more and more interested: "Tell me in detail about the situation outside the Dharma Ring."

Medina shook her head: "I'm sorry, Duke, I'm also a mortal. I don't know much about the situation outside the Circle of Magic."

"I only know that there are three planes in the world, one is the divine world, one is the demon world, and one is the mortal world."

"I escaped from the demon world. There is also a divine world, which is controlled by various gentle gods from outside the ring. And this world."

She tapped the ground with her hooves, making a 'tapping' sound.

"It is the mortal world without demons or gods."

"Of course, this is only the case for now. No one knows what will happen in the future."

Rosen asked, "Then do you know the great demon king Buck?"

Mediana nodded: "You mean the one across the sea?"

Rosen nodded.

Meliana showed emotion on her face: "To be precise, it is called the Great Demon King Buck Bazenar, the mortal body of the Great Demon God Bazenar."

At this point, she stamped the ground with her hoof again: "So, to be precise, this world is half demon world and half mortal world."

This made Rosen's heart tremble slightly: "Tell me in detail."

Mediana began to explain: "Currently, there are known to be seven demonic realms, five divine realms, and 12 mortal realms."

"Asema is one, Bazenal is another."

"Asema likes soul piercing, while Bazenal likes to do various fusion experiments."

"He likes to fuse and reorganize various races in the mortal world using all kinds of strange methods to create new races, so he is also called the Fusion Demon."

Rosen was amazed: "You know so much."

"Of course, because I am a traveling mage."

She immediately let out another long sigh.

"It's probably because of the racial superiority. Many of my people are often captured by big demons and used as bait to seduce mortals. That's why our race has always had a bad reputation, and even carries the bad name of succubus."

Rosen nodded to show his understanding: "It's like the relationship between gangsters and prostitutes."

"It's good that the Duke understands."

Mediana breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain her situation.

"I am a seven-ringed planeswalker. Seven rings is the minimum requirement for a traveling mage."

"You can see that I have five rings of magic power because I use a secret method to hide my power. As for what secret method it is, please forgive me for keeping it secret, because this is my specialty."

"I mistakenly answered the call of a wizard in the Glorious Empire, and he lied to me that he needed a trade."

"At the time, I was trapped in the demon world and was running for my life. When I saw someone from the mortal world calling me, I responded immediately."

"As soon as I came out, I found out that this was a dissolute wizard, and he actually wanted me to be his slave."

"After a fight, I killed him, and the matter became a big deal. I had no choice but to run."

"I couldn't stay in the Glorious Empire, so I ran to the Natural Alliance. Weilan was the farthest from the Glorious Empire in the alliance, so I ran here."

"But I can feel that the hounds of the Glorious Empire have been tracking me. In order to protect myself, I can only seek your protection."

Rosen listened carefully and squinted to observe the succubus's facial expressions.

But because the opponent is a real alien, Lai Fu's facial analysis ability becomes less useful.

So after all the observations, Rosen did not get much valuable information.

In this case, we can only understand it bit by bit.

"I don't completely believe what you said. In addition, I want to ask, if I shelter you, what will you bring me?"

"Some knowledge on how to break through the tenth ring and become a legendary wizard."

Rosen raised his eyebrows: "I don't understand."

Medina narrowed her eyes and smiled: "You must have understood, Duke, because you have the magic power of the peak of the Ten Rings."

"Don't be surprised. Knowing the target's true power is the specialty of every planeswalker. Otherwise, you will die quickly."

"In all the planes, mages like you who have reached the peak of the tenth ring at a young age generally seek to break through the eleventh ring and become legendary mages who can fight against void gods and demons."

"Well~ I know your world thinks that the Seven Rings is legendary, but you and I both know that this statement is a bit ridiculous."

"If you don't go through real dangers and see real stunning scenery, how can you be called a legend?"

Rosen nodded in agreement: "You are right."

It was too easy to advance in the first ten rings, as long as one "jumped high enough", but in the eleventh ring, Rosen felt like he was walking on a tightrope on a cliff.

A look of reverence appeared on Mediana's face.

“The road to legend is a very dangerous road, but it is the only way for mortals like us to fight against the void gods and demons.”

Rosen's heart was pounding when he heard this, but at the same time he became more alert because this succubus knew too much and succubus have a bad reputation.

Who knows if this woman is a minion of some great devil? He knows very well that the most terrifying devils in the world often have the most perfect disguise.

He is usually the best of the best people, but at the last moment, his true face as a devil will be revealed and he will deliver the most fatal blow.

The succubus in front of me stated directly at the beginning that she was harmless, and then immediately gave the terms of the transaction based on her deepest thoughts, which showed the qualities of a professional con man.

After pondering for a few minutes, Rosen asked, "What kind of power can I have after being promoted to Legend?"

"I don't know. After all, I'm only a seventh-ring mage. I can only provide you with some methods that may be useful, which are basically what I heard during my travels."

Rosen nodded to show that he understood, and he was not disappointed. Instead, he felt it was good.

Because he had been planning to set up a laboratory, now with the method provided by the succubus, he could avoid many detours and save a lot of money.

"How long do you need me to protect you? Or will you stay in this world forever?"

"Shelter for half a year. After half a year, the Amentu plane will intersect closely with the Dritan plane, and I have to go to the Amentu plane."

At this point, Meliana narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Atumen Realm is the realm of gods, belonging to Atumen, the Lord of the Sun. This is a benevolent god, and also the god that the great demons hate and fear the most. I have to go there to recuperate for a while."

Rosen was curious again: "Then why is this place called the Druitan Realm?"

"Because this was once the plane of the Lord of Truth, Dritan. But for some reason, Dritan disappeared and has not appeared for five thousand years."

"He probably fell. This is a common occurrence. After all, nothing in the world lasts forever, and there are frequent fights between the Void Demons."

After a pause, Medina said, "Duke, I want a safe place with a clean bath, delicious food, fine wine, and clean clothes. Is that ok?"

"Of course, I'll arrange it for you personally."

This succubus is quite powerful. Rosen hasn't figured out her background yet, so he's worried about leaving her to others to handle.
