A month later, Weilan entered winter again and the first snow fell.

The Swan Lake was wrapped in a thick layer of winter clothes.

On a remote island in Swan Lake, Rosen, who looked like a lower-level elf, raised his hand and drew a rune in the air, muttering: "Palomenas~"

This was the signal he and the witch had agreed upon.

After more than ten seconds, a white-haired, frail old woman appeared out of nowhere beside Rosen.

This time Rosen understood that the other party was using a very sophisticated phase transfer technique.

The transfer is very fast and very secretive.

From the perspective of mortals, it is no different from appearing out of thin air.

But with Lai Fu's millisecond-level detection capabilities, nothing can escape detection.

In the middle of the phase shift, at the most vulnerable moment, perhaps less than one tenth of a second, Lai Fu had already collected two key pieces of information.

'Basic soul strength legendary 14, mana scale 35 Rosen.'

Rosen's fear suddenly dropped by 90%: "She is indeed a fake witch."

According to the Encyclopedia of Void Life, the True Witch is the soul of Legend 17, a great existence whose soul scale is hundreds of thousands times that of Rosen.

He is much stronger than the person in front of me.

On the other side, after the old woman appeared, she looked at Rosen carefully with her cloudy eyes that were so turbid that it was almost impossible to distinguish the white from the black, and then slowly shook her head.

"No~ No~ Although your substitute is perfect, it doesn't have a soul core. You can't fool Druitan."

"It has to be you."

Rosen was secretly surprised: "This guy's perception is really sharp."

His expression remained calm: "Madam, my true self is the emperor of the Natural Empire. I cannot take risks lightly."

The old woman chattered: "I can feel that your real body is nearby."

"Now that you're here, stop hiding."

Rosen's real body was indeed not far away, about five kilometers away from this lower-level elf substitute, and was hidden almost perfectly.

If someone hid using a similar method, Rosen would not be able to find them.

Now the old woman saw through it at a glance and realized that he really had some tricks up his sleeve.

However, Rosen was not afraid, because the old woman's fighting ability must be not very good, at least she was not sure she could deal with him, otherwise she would have no need to play tricks on him.

So he smiled faintly and said, "My real body will not take this risk for you. Either you find a way to help my substitute disguise himself, or you can only give up this plan."

The old woman smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you can't refuse my proposal."

When Rosen heard this, his mind instantly tensed up, and the alert level of his God of War Heart was raised to the extreme.

The old woman added: "I don't like chatting with the stand-in, I'll go straight to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot, but a few seconds later, she appeared by the Swan Lake.

Next to a Metasequoia tree by the lake, Rosen was leaning against the tree trunk with his arms folded across his chest, calmly waiting for the old woman to arrive.

When the old woman appeared, he smiled faintly and said, "Just say what you want to say."

The old woman looked Rosen up and down and said with a smile, "It's a good idea to make the legendary wizard's hat into a nearly perfect wig."

"But you probably don't know that this magic weapon has a loophole."

Rosen shrugged slightly: "And then?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and felt that Rosen's reaction was a little strange. She said hesitantly: "I can invade your soul through the loophole and make you my true apostle."

Rosen stared at the other's thick white hair and said, "I guess you are also wearing the hat of the legendary wizard, right?"

The old woman felt something was wrong and stared at Rosen with a frown. "Since I told you clearly, and you're not scared, then you probably found the loophole."

"But even so, I'm still going to give it a try."

"If it succeeds, then there's no need to waste time talking. If it fails, then we can continue to discuss new ways of cooperation."

Rosen had fully understood the principle of the Legendary Wizard's Hat, so he nodded.

"You can try, but I'm going to try too."

"Let's see who can invade the other's hat and enter the other's soul first."

The old woman frowned again: "I advise you not to try, because my tolerance for provocation is limited, you'd better not make me angry."

This statement may be useful in scaring ordinary people, and it was also useful in scaring Rosen in the past, but it is useless now.

He has seen through the other party's tricks, but what he hasn't figured out yet is the other party's true identity and intentions.

So he replied with a faint smile.

"I have always believed in a saying, which says that only by drawing the sword can we gain equal power, and retreating will only make us slaves."

"So, as long as you make a move, I will draw my sword without hesitation."

The old woman sighed and said, "You are so stubborn. Then you can try it."

After saying this, her cloudy eyes emitted a faint light. At the same time, Rosen felt that there was a hidden force oppressing his soul, making him feel depressed.

If there really was a hole in the legendary wig at this time, then this power would obviously penetrate into his soul.

Rosen was not polite and immediately fought back.

His current basic soul strength is at Legend 6, and he can focus a stable Legend 13 soul force, which is slightly worse than his opponent, but not much.

He followed the loopholes he had discovered on the legendary wizard's hat and tried them one by one.

At the same time, "The Heart of the God of War" is operating at its extreme. Once it finds that its soul has been invaded, it will immediately launch a violent attack and destroy the opponent's body.

At this moment, both sides were like network hackers on Earth, looking for loopholes in each other's souls at an extremely fast speed.

Rosen is only a mortal after all, so his speed is naturally not fast enough, but Lai Fu is the soul GPT. After training, the speed of trying vulnerabilities is in milliseconds.

Within one second, each vulnerability is attacked one by one, as fast as lightning.

So, when Rosen was still feeling a little bored, Lai Fu found a hole in the opponent's legendary wizard's hat, which was one of the three big holes he had discovered before.

The situation was very clear. The other party had filled two of the three major loopholes and thought they had filled all of them, but they didn't expect that there was still one.

After finding the loophole, Rosen immediately adjusted the overlapping wave focusing technique to the activation state, and then used the legendary 13 soul power to gently poke the opponent's soul loophole.

In order to avoid stabbing the opponent to death, he used very little force, and the feeling was like poking tofu pudding.

"Plop~~"

The old woman suddenly knelt down on the snow, her body fell forward, her trembling hands supporting herself on the snow, and a shrill scream came from her mouth.

Rosen didn't continue, but just stared at the old woman.

As long as she made any unusual movement, he would immediately use the overlapping waves to focus and deliver a fatal blow, physically piercing the opponent's head.

After a while, the trembling of the old woman's hands gradually subsided.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Rosen with fear in her eyes.

"You are definitely not a mortal. Who are you?!"

Rosen had already thought of an excuse: "If the Lord of Truth was lucky enough to pick up the Branch of Life, I can also be lucky enough to pick up other artifacts."

If the other party can fool him, he can certainly fool the other party as well.

It depends on who is better at fooling others.

The old woman's pupils trembled violently: "I found a divine weapon. Divine weapons are so easy to find that there are two in one plane?"

Judging from the looks of it, she believed it at least 70% of the time.

Rosen couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Now, don't hide your true face, show your true face within three seconds, otherwise I will kill you!"

Ten seconds later, a young woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and skin as white as snow appeared.

Why was she covered in skin? For some reason, she had no clothes on, except for a dark blue wide-brimmed pointed hat on her head, and the linen skirt that the old woman had worn before was actually a magical disguise.

Rosen was very surprised: "Where are your clothes?"

"The first principle of infinite phase transfer is to reduce the quantity and quality of personal belongings as much as possible to reduce mana consumption and abnormal disturbance of the soul."

Rosen understood, so he took off his fur cloak and threw it over.

"Put it on, and then tell me who you really are."

The witch put on a thick fur cloak and sat cross-legged on the snow, but the cloak was not wrapped very tightly, so Rosen could see a lot of the scenery.

This made him feel that the other party might be trying to seduce him, but it didn't matter. Even if his mind was confused by the seduction, the reaction of "Heart of the God of War" was still as fast as ever.

She spoke, her voice slightly tired, as if she had not yet recovered from the pain in her soul.

"I am not a void being. I am just a mortal. Or rather, a high-level elf of Dritan."

"I have lived for 7,000 years. My real name is Dora."

"Dora? Moon Goddess Dora?!"

Rosen's heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt that things had become very interesting.

Of course, he didn't believe it completely, only about 50% to 60%.

"Then why did you betray the Lord of Truth?"

"I didn't betray, I rebelled."

"5,000 years ago, I used some tricks to scare Druitan away, but 5,000 years later, this guy is coming back and wants to continue to rule us elves."

"This is absolutely not possible!"

As she spoke, she took off the hat of the legendary wizard, and with this action, Rosen clearly felt that her legendary power had dropped from the previous unfathomable to the legendary level 8.

In other words, her hat is extremely effective and can increase soul strength by +6.

Judging from the strengthening effect alone, it is definitely a good thing.

Dora is very sensitive, even to the point where she can feel the voices of others.

Without Rosen asking, she took the initiative to explain.

"I didn't tell you everything you need to know about making a legendary hat."

"My hat was made by Dritan, and it can be Legendary +6, so my real soul strength is Legendary 8. And yours can only be Legendary +3, right?"

At this point, Rosen believed it about 70% of the time.

"How do you prove what you say?"

"Wow~"

Dora lifted her cloak and said, "My soul has been injured, and I can't cast spells for a while. Just check my body. I believe you know how to identify the upper elves."

Rosen really needs to investigate.

He used the Radiant Insight spell to shine, and then carefully observed the deep structure of its body.

Soon, he concluded: "From the perspective of your physical structure, it seems that you are not lying."

This is indeed the body of a High Elf, very similar to the legendary High Elf he killed, but there is also a difference, that is, it appears too perfect.

You can feel that the designer put a lot of thought into the renovation, so that no flaws can be found inside or outside.

Rosen had never seen such a perfect body, not to mention in this life, even in his previous life when photo retouching was rampant, he could never have dreamed of it.

Too perfect to feel real.

In addition, this person is about 80% similar to an upper elf.

It was Miss Sissi who had once visited him as an envoy.

But she is a super high-end Sissi, and in comparison, the latter seems like a shoddy product.

After comprehensive consideration, he believed it 90%.

"So, the Lord of Truth really has a divine weapon?"

"That's right."

"Then why don't you steal it yourself?"

"All elves are creations of the Tree of Life. We have no ability to steal them, so we can only bring in outsiders. And this outsider must be as powerful as possible. Obviously, you are the best candidate."

"Then you can just tell me openly. Oh, I understand. Not only do you want me to steal the staff, you also want me to die together with the furious Lord of Truth. In this way, not only will you elves be completely free, but you will also severely defeat your opponents in the mortal world and even master the artifact."

"That's why you insisted on letting my real body enter the Elf Empire, right?"

Dora remained silent.

"What a brilliant plan."

Rosen praised, then his face turned cold: "Now, convince me to spare your life."

Dora wrapped her cloak around her again, this time wrapping it tightly so that there were no gaps.

"The return of the Lord of Truth will bring disaster to the elves and the human race."

"And I am his favorite elf. If he wants to steal the Branch of Life, my help is indispensable."

"Interesting, anything else?"

“Through the tree branches of life, we can directly control the first generation of elves, and also subtly influence all mortals with elven blood.

"And the elven blood has long been spread throughout the Witt Continent, even in you."

"And I know how to block this weak influence."

This greatly convinced Rosen because it was closely related to him and his family.

He asked: "Is it true that the mystery of the tree of life is beyond the comprehension of mortals?"

Dora shook her head: "I don't know, but I happened to hear the master say that to truly understand it, you need truly great power."

"So I guess it might take a great soul higher than Legendary 15 to be sensitive enough."

Rosenthal felt a bit of a headache when facing a soul higher than Legendary 15.

Because this is the basic soul strength, not the power that has undergone various later stages of focusing.

Even with the legendary wig, he is only legendary 6, and even with Dora's +6 hat, he is only legendary 9.

It feels like Legend 15 is a long way off.

But as long as it is understandable, he has the confidence to crack it.

At this time, Dora said: "I can't leave the Tree of Life for too long, otherwise Druitan will notice it."

"If you want me to continue to be Dritan's inside man, then let me go back as soon as possible."

There was some urgency in her voice.

Rosen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I won't let you go back. You will stay with me from now on."

"Because I am in need of research samples from the upper elves."

Dora was shocked: "If that's the case, after Druitan returns, he will immediately send a large army to attack you."

Rosen snorted and laughed, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Come on, I'm just afraid he won't come!"

He has created so many powerful weapons of war, and he always has to use them.
