The clone has to handle government affairs, so the real body appears to arrange the succubus.

When Mediana saw Rosen, she smiled and said, "Ahaha~ The Duke's flesh puppet is really ingenious. It almost hid it from my detection."

Rosen felt no complacency at all. He walked side by side with Mediana in an underground secret passage with full vigilance.

He found that the other person was almost as tall as himself, and even taller with the horns.

He did not answer but asked, "What do you think of the great demon king Buck across the sea?"

"He will definitely defeat you in the end. It's just a matter of time. Because your power is too scattered and you don't have the protection of a legendary wizard."

She immediately pointed out: "In this case, I think you should find a god to rely on, such as Atumen, the Lord of the Sun."

Rosen smiled faintly: "I almost thought you were a missionary of Atumen, Lord of the Sun."

Mediana also smiled: "I am just offering a suggestion. Atumen may not pay attention to your request. After all, managing believers across dimensions is a very troublesome matter."

Soon, Rosen brought Mediana to an underground secret room in White Swan Castle.

This secret room was dug out for air defense purposes, because now that Weilan and the Glorious Empire have airplanes, other kingdoms will definitely step up their research, and soon airplanes will become a means of attack for all countries.

Naturally, air-raid shelters became a necessity.

The air-raid shelter must be prepared in advance. It would be absolutely laughable to wait until the enemy planes fly over your head before using a hoe.

"The room has everything, a bathroom, a bed, good wine, and easy-to-store, fairly tasty food. In addition, I will bring you some fresh food from time to time."

Mediana walked around the room and was very satisfied.

She finally sat down in the circular leather chair in the basement living room.

"It would be nice to have some books to kill time."

"It's just a small problem. I'll bring you a batch."

Rosen sat down opposite her and continued to ask, "Are the gods and demons in the void outside the ring omnipotent?"

"Of course not. Gods also have many things they cannot do, but they who live in the void outside the ring have many things that mortals cannot do."

She thought for a moment and gave an example: "From what I know, it should have an extremely strong sense of what is happening inside the plane."

"As long as they are willing to pay the price, they should be able to know many, many things they want to know."

Rosen was slightly surprised: "So it means omniscience?"

"I can't say I know everything. After all, the starry sky is vast, and the magic rings are infinite. No one dares to say that they truly know everything."

"As far as I know, there are many low-level mages who have escaped the pursuit of gods and demons by relying on their wisdom and luck."

"For example, I have greatly offended the great demon Asema."

"Luckily I escaped, otherwise I would definitely be one of the Howling Plains."

She had an expression of relief and fear on her face.

Her answer also reduced Rosen's fear of the gods and demons outside the ring.

"Are there mortals who kill gods?"

"Yes, a mortal with a divine weapon given by a god or devil, plus some luck, can cause great trouble to another god, or even kill him."

"In addition, legendary mages also have the ability to kill gods. Of course, doing so requires a huge price, and usually the legendary mages and gods and demons perish together."

Rosen's fear of the Void Gods and Demons decreased again.

"From what you said, it seems that gods and demons are just a kind of powerful life born in the void outside the ring."

"Perhaps."

"If the legendary wizard continues to grow stronger, will he become a god or demon outside the ring?"

Originally, Rosen just asked casually and didn't expect to get an answer, but Mediana answered it seriously.

"Legendary wizards are just mortals with more powerful magic. Even if their power is equal to or even exceeds that of gods and demons outside the ring, they are still mortals and cannot exist apart from their physical bodies. This is fundamentally different from gods and demons."

"I didn't say that. It was said by Fermoros, one of the five legendary wizards in the plane."

After saying this, she suddenly asked again: "Duke, won't you pour me a glass of wine?"

She looked at the wine cabinet beside her, her eyes sparkling.

Rosen brought her a bottle of Monte County specialty wine. After each of them had a glass, the latter drank it all immediately and then poured herself a second glass.

"I must admit that I am an avid fan of fine wine. I was trapped in the demon world for ten years, and once I escaped, I started to flee again. It is only now that I can drink truly good wine."

She finished the second glass in the blink of an eye. By the third glass, her cheeks were already a little red, and she began to slow down and savor it carefully.

"I came all the way here and heard that you, Duke, have come up with a lot of new things."

"I took a closer look and found that it is indeed very good, better than most planes."

Rosen was about to ask this: "What is the level of development of magic in other planes?"

"Everyone is about the same, some are ahead, some are behind."

Mediana explained.

"Because of the existence of Plane Travel Mages, the various planes are not completely separated, and there are always various forms of communication."

"In addition, according to the research of many wizards, all the mortal races actually spread out from the same plane, which is the so-called 'single origin theory'."

“So, everyone’s development time is about the same.”

"Except the demon world."

"The development of the demon world was forcibly interrupted by the great devil and turned into a terrible hell."

As she was talking, she finished the third glass of wine and immediately poured herself a fourth glass: "Your wine is really good, mellow and smooth, the best wine I have ever tasted, hiccup~"

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, the succubus, who was originally very talkative, couldn't stop talking anymore, and even became a little unrestrained.

"Ah~ It's a basement after all. It's still a bit stuffy."

He pulled the collar of his clothes hard, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white. A pair of long and plump thighs were crossed like a cross, shaking back and forth, and a pair of dark blue hooves tapped the ground with a "click-click" sound.

"At present, everyone is also exploring the so-called method of converting low-quality energy into high-quality energy. Some places are moving faster, and some are moving slower."

"The Duke's Druitan Realm has lost a lot of communication with other planes because of the ban on summoning, so the speed is a little slower, but not much."

"And I do have a technique to convert cheap energy into valuable energy. Does the Duke want to know?"

As she spoke, she leaned back with one hand to support her body, and with the other hand she played with the empty crystal wine glass. Her bright dark red eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

Rosen sighed inwardly: "No wonder she is called a succubus. Most people can't stand her seductiveness."

But business is important.

"Of course. Tell me about it."

"It's a method of converting light into arcane energy."

Rosen was shocked when he heard this: "Really?!"

Two famous and extremely useful spells in the arcane realm.

One is Transfiguration, and the other is Food Making! If he can solve the problem of converting light into arcane energy, then he can move on to large-scale Transfiguration Alchemy, and his mechanical processing capabilities will be directly raised to several levels.

In addition, large-scale food production immediately became possible.

Both of these applications are enough to change the world.

He immediately asked: "What is the conversion efficiency?"

“About 3%.”

It was not high, but not low either. With his newly acquired knowledge of the power of light, it was already enough to build a large factory burning black stone.

Rosen was greatly moved.

The traveling mage, Medina, possesses extremely sharp insight, and even being drunk does not affect her judgment.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Although I don't think this thing is of much use, it seems that the Duke likes it very much. As a planeswalker, my favorite thing is trading."

She leaned forward slightly and said, "Earlier, the Duke promised to protect and help me leave this plane, and I am willing to share some knowledge about breaking through the eleventh ring. This is a deal."

"Now, what does the Duke intend to give in exchange for this new knowledge?"

Rosen quickly calmed down, took a sip of wine, and asked, "What would you like, ma'am?"

"I don't know what he wants specifically. The only thing I'm sure of is that the Duke must give me something valuable so that I can take it to the Atumen plane and exchange it for a generous reward from a big shot in another plane."

That would be a bit difficult.

Rosen thought about it carefully and asked, "What is missing from the Atumen plane?"

"There is a lack of water, the sun there is very hot, the ocean is far less hot than here, the climate is far hotter than here, and there are far more deserts on land than here."

"Do they know how to synthesize large quantities of pure water?"

"They know many ways to get pure water from the environment, but they don't seem to know how to synthesize pure water."

"Of course, this is knowledge I learned more than ten years ago."

Rosen asked again: "Do they know about pure water?"

Mediana blinked. "Pure water. Isn't it just pure water?"

Rosen understood that at least the succubus in front of him didn't know the existence of the periodic table, and he probably didn't know much about the Atumen plane either.

So he said, "I know a way to synthesize pure water from dephlogisticated water and phlogiston. I also know how to obtain dephlogisticated water and phlogiston."

"How about I use this knowledge to exchange for the Sunlight Arcane Conversion Technique with you?"

Medina tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Don't worry, Duke. I have to find a way to contact my colleagues in the Atumen plane to see if anyone needs it."

"In order for me to contact my colleagues, I hope the Duke can lend me a Soul Gem."

He directly gave her a piece: "Is that enough?"

Mediana had sharp eyes and saw Rosen's inventory.

She was so surprised that she almost jumped up. She walked quickly to Rosen and stared at the drawer.

"So many Soul Gems? And the quality is so good?"

Each of Rosen's soul gems was as big as an adult's fist, and there were more than a dozen of them, far beyond Mediana's imagination.

"Shouldn't this thing be very precious?"

"I confiscated a lot of them from people's houses."

This is also true. He raided the homes of many nobles in the southern counties, and hid a few pieces of gold in each of them.

Mediana said straightforwardly: "If the Duke can give me three more soul gems of the same quality and size, I can tell you the transformation array without the knowledge of synthesizing pure water."

Rosen's heart was slightly moved: "It seems that the Soul Gem is a great treasure to the succubus."

That will make things easier.

He took out five more pieces and handed them over. Each piece was as big as an adult's fist and the quality was almost perfect.

He synthesized it using Transfiguration Alchemy, so it would be hard for it to be imperfect.

"They are all yours. The extra 2 yuan is a gift from me."

“.”

There was a clear "dumbfounded" expression on Mediana's face, which could be seen at a glance without any judgment.

Although they are a different race, they are not much different from humans.

After half an hour of communication, Rosen was able to discern her emotions well through her expression.

The succubus held all six soul gems in her arms, as if they were priceless treasures.

"Duke, do you know the value of this thing in the planeswalker world?"

Without waiting for Rosen to ask, she said directly: "This is the universal travel currency in all planes. It is a good thing that cannot be bought with money."

"Oh~ I am so happy. I got so many high-quality diamonds. Ahahaha~~"

An extremely happy look appeared on her face, then she suddenly stood up and began to nibble on Rosen's face enthusiastically.

Rosen quickly pushed her away: "Ma'am, I think you should go to the bathroom and clean yourself up."

"After washing, give me the Aoli Transformation Array."

"Haha~ Of course~ Of course~"

She walked quickly, humming a cheerful song as she walked, feeling as if she had won a five million dollar jackpot.

After spending about half an hour in the bathtub, she came out in a large bathrobe: "I need paper and pen."

Rosen was ready.

She started writing immediately, and wrote more than thirty pages, almost a booklet, and then handed the booklet to Rosen:

"Here, the arcane conversion array and everything I know about breaking through the eleventh ring are all in it."

"I believe in the Duke's credibility, and I also believe that this will not be our last transaction. Right, Your Excellency the Duke?"

Rosen was flipping through the booklet quickly, and the more he read, the happier he became: "What a good thing! It seems that this succubus is really a traveling wizard."

Of course he was willing to trade with the planeswalker.

"Yes, I am very willing to continue to make various cross-dimensional transactions with you."

"I still have a lot of Soul Gems. If you can give me more knowledge, I will not be stingy."

"Ahaha~ It's really tempting, Your Excellency the Duke, but it's a pity that I don't have any good stuff on hand."

There was a trace of confusion on her face.

After more than ten seconds, she said, "My Lord Duke, if you are willing to pay for the gems I need to travel across the planes, I can immediately go to each plane and help you find all kinds of precious high-level magic knowledge and high-level items."

As she spoke, she picked up a Soul Gem and said, "Crossing planes requires the consumption of Soul Gems. If you don't cross at a good time and force it, the consumption will increase."

"For example, if I go to the Atumen plane now, I will need 5 Soul Diamonds, but if I go there half a year later, I will only need 2."

Rosen said without hesitation: "No problem, I will pay for the extra cost of the Soul Gem for you."

The Soul Diamond is a treasure in the eyes of the Planeswalker.

In his eyes, it is actually a pile of high-quality rutile, which is titanium oxide.

He can have as much of this stuff as he wants.

Using it to exchange for high-level items is a lucrative business.

But of course he couldn't tell anyone about this, so he found a reasonable excuse.

"I will search for the Soul Gem for you in all the countries of the Alliance. In short, I will definitely satisfy you."

Mediana's eyes sparkled with joy: "Oh~ This is really the best news I have heard in the past ten years."

"Duke, to wish us a happy cooperation, let's have some fun, shall we?"

Rosen was stunned. What kind of lewd words were these? "I remember you just killed the wizard who summoned you?"

"That's because he wants to enslave me, and he's old and ugly."

"I didn't want to kill him because he helped me escape from the demon world, but he insisted, so I had no choice but to help him."

Rosen didn't dare to have fun with a succubus whom he had only known for less than half a day and whose background he didn't know well, so he refused decisively.

"Cooperation is cooperation, but having fun is fine."

He suddenly began to worry about Mother Nature.

Mother Nature becomes a planewalker with a heart longing for freedom, but the world is so complex and profound that she must not let anything go wrong.

Mediana didn't know what Rosen was thinking.

She blinked and said with a smile: "Duke, are you afraid of me?"

As she spoke, she walked over to Rosen, squatted down, grabbed Rosen's hand, and placed it on her forehead: "We planeswalkers do have some secrets, but since we have reached such a wonderful cooperation, I will naturally reveal these secrets to you in exchange for your trust."

"Do you feel the secret I'm hiding, Your Excellency the Duke?"

Sensing at such a close distance, Rosen indeed felt Mediana's power.

It is indeed a soul at the peak of the seventh ring, but its magic power is extremely strong, more than five times stronger than that of Laertris.

Immediately afterwards, Mediana took Rosen's hand and walked downstairs.

"Because of the Creator's prank, our bodies of the Serila people are particularly compatible with the Dritan people, even more compatible than those of our own race. Are you sure you don't want to have some fun?"

Rosen felt it clearly.

As a playboy, he knew it was a good treasure as soon as he touched it, so he was very excited.

He then concentrated his mind and carefully examined the other person's body. After confirming that there was no problem, he spurred his horse and whipped it.

I have to say, this is indeed a fierce horse galloping across the world, even fiercer than Neferoniya.

If it weren't for the two horns on its head to stabilize its body, it would be almost impossible to control it.

It took a lot of effort to finally tame it.

But after a while, Mediana was full of energy again.

"Duke, your performance is very good. I am very satisfied with this fun."

These words gave Rosen the illusion that he had done some hard labor.

"I need to get a good night's rest. I will set out early tomorrow morning. If possible, I need as many Soul Gems as possible, at least 20 or more, so that I can return in time when needed."

"I'll prepare it for you."

After a pause, Rosen said, "Please keep an eye out for a novice named Planeswalker, a young girl, eight rings of mana, light gold."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Mediana: "I know her. I once traded the True Name Beacon in your hand with her. I sold it to her."

Rosen was startled: "What a coincidence?"

"Not by chance, but by necessity."

"Because I am a frequent visitor to the Druitan Realm, especially after the ban on summoning, Ms. Zigraina has almost no choice but to trade with me."

After a pause, she smiled and said, "Do you feel that I'm old all of a sudden?"

"I have indeed lived for a long time, about 800 years, but fortunately, we Serila people are immortal, and our souls are naturally tough. I can live for at least another 2,000 years. Maybe you will leave this world before me."

Rosenton was surprised: "After 800 years, hasn't the lady found a way to break through the ring wall?"

Seven rings is a bit low.

"In another 100 years, I will be an 8th ring. We Serila people live long but grow slowly. This is the price of a tenacious soul."

"Alright, alright, Your Excellency the Duke, let me have a good sleep."

She ordered him to leave, and Rosen said goodbye and left.

The first thing I did after leaving was to go to the lab.

He had to verify the new knowledge immediately.
