Late night.

Queen Zoya was still handling government affairs in the study, with only two trusted maids by her side.

This is a habit she has developed over the years, because in the quiet and dark night, she can think more quietly.

Normally, at this time, her mind would calm down and she would focus on government affairs, but tonight, for some reason, her mind was wandering and she was always distracted by other thoughts.

After all, having been immersed in the high-ring field for decades, she immediately knew that something might happen tonight.

'What will happen?'

'It's not a heavy feeling, it's probably not a bad thing, but it's definitely something very unique, something I've never encountered before.'

Because she had never had such a subtle feeling before.

Because she had never met him before, she was waiting with great anticipation.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, a familiar voice sounded in my mind.

"Ms. Zhuoya~Long time no see."

The sound came from the small compartment next to the study. It seemed that Rosen's puppet was speaking, but the content of the words was very strange. After thinking about it for a while, she understood the reason.

"Rosen, where are you now?"

"At the gate of the Never-Night Palace. I wanted to come in and chat with my old friends, but there were too many guards in the palace."

"Wait a minute, I'll send someone to pick it up right away. I'll open a hole, and then you can come in through the secret passage we used last time."

"good."

Zhuoya's premonition became stronger, and her mind was full of thoughts.

After issuing a secret order to transfer some of the guards, he couldn't help but ask, "Rosen, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just reminiscing about the past, right?"

"Your Majesty, I really can't hide anything from you. I also want to give you some birthday gifts."

"Birthday present, okay, let me know when you get to the cubicle."

"no problem."

Zhuoya picked up a document and started to read it, but after reading it for a long time, she couldn't concentrate on it. She knew all the words, but she couldn't understand them.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?"

Nali, her trusted maid, noticed that something was wrong with her.

Zhuo Ya shook her head: "Yes, there is one thing. You can leave first. I will take a short rest and call you if there is anything."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two maids left, and Zhuoya was the only one left in the study.

After about five or six minutes, a mental message came from the compartment: "I'm here."

Zhuo Ya had vaguely realized something and thought to herself, "This guy must be thinking of something bad, but I can't let him do whatever he wants and break the rules of the Glorious Royal Family."

Even though I thought so, my heartbeat quickened slightly. I took a deep breath and then stood up and walked towards the cubicle.

The compartment wasn't far away and we got there quickly.

Pushing the door open, there is a warm room with an area of ​​less than 10 square meters. There is a small desk in the room, and sitting next to the desk is a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

She said it was familiar because she could see the same-looking magic puppets every day.

The reason why I say he is strange is that the person in front of me is not a puppet, but a living person.

Next to the dim light, he lazily sat on the thick leather chair, opened his arms to her, and smiled, "It's been two years since we last met. How about a hug?"

Zhuoya hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward, leaned over slightly, and wanted to give the other person a ceremonial hug.

But unexpectedly, he was gently pulled by the other party, causing his body to lose balance and he sat on the other person's legs.

She didn't struggle, but snorted and laughed: "Rosen, you are so bold, actually breaking into the Never Night Palace at night, aren't you afraid that I will call the guards to arrest you?"

As she spoke, she leaned on Rosen's thick chest, listening to the strong heartbeat in her body, feeling the powerful soul and rich magic power, knowing that it was the real Rosen who came back this time.

A laugh came out of this broad chest: "If I am not bold, how can I embrace His Majesty?"

As the laughter came, Zhuoya felt the other person's hand on her lower back, which made her hair stand on end and her heart beat even faster.

She had completely understood the other party's intention, which was beyond her expectations. She immediately grabbed the other party's hand and said, "Put it outside. Don't put it inside the clothes."

This is the limit she can accept at the moment.

Rosen did as he was told: "Zhuoya, guess what birthday present I brought you?"

Zhuoya shook her head: "I can't guess."

Rosen reached out and pulled out an exquisite jeweled forehead band from his pocket.

"This is it, and I want you to carry it with you 24 hours a day."

Zhuo Ya was puzzled. She took the forehead band and examined it carefully. "Is it a magical instrument? It looks very beautiful, but I have to wear it for 24 hours. What if it gets dirty?"

"Its material is very special and won't get stained. If you feel uncomfortable with it, you can use the cleaning technique to clean it frequently."

"Come, I'll put it on for you."

As he spoke, Rosen used his wizard hand to lift up Zhuoya's thick hair and put the jeweled forehead band on her forehead. The moment this action was completed, Zhuoya's face showed shock.

"What kind of magic weapon is this? How can it be so powerful?!"

She felt that her soul had suddenly become much stronger and her sensitivity was many times stronger than before.

Before, she only thought that Rosen was very powerful, but now, she could vaguely feel how strong he was.

At the same time, she also felt the subtle fluctuations of the magic ring very clearly. The range had expanded many times than before, so that she could actually sense the soul breath of all life in the entire palace, including the sewer rats.

Rosen looked at Zhuoya's face carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "This forehead band I designed is quite good. It matches your style perfectly and makes you look even more beautiful."

It used to be gorgeous and exquisite, but now it has an added layer of mystery, making it look even more alluring.

"You haven't answered my question yet~"

Zhuoya patted Rosen's arm in a tender voice.

Rosen smiled and said, "This is a new magic weapon I developed. It can increase the strength of the soul and make it more resilient and sharper."

"It's about the strength of Legendary +7. Considering that you currently have a Legendary +2.5 soul, it will be Legendary 9.5 after you put it on. The legendary mana derived from the soul will also be increased accordingly."

"That means you are now a legendary 9.5 mage."

Zhuo Ya was shocked: "There is such a powerful magic weapon in the world."

She felt it carefully and concentrated her magic power, and found that her magic power had become much stronger than before.

She immediately picked up the legendary crystal staff, which was the latest one made by the Alchemy Department and could originally provide +3 focus.

As a result, it was found that the strength of the magic power that was finally condensed reached an incredibly astonishing level.

"This mana seems to exceed Legend 14."

"More than that, probably 14.6."

Rosen smiled and said, "In terms of the strength of your magic power, you have surpassed the Lord of Truth."

"With some transformation techniques, you can transform soul power of equal strength, which will allow you to face the Lord of Truth more calmly."

Zhuo Ya fully understood the power of this soul magic weapon and knew that it must be extremely precious, but she still wanted to ask: "Isn't this difficult to make?"

“Low-quality ones are not difficult, but high-quality ones are a bit difficult.”

"Forget it, I won't say anything."

She wanted to ask if she could share, but she felt that she was being a little greedy. No, it should be said that she was being insatiable.

Rosen certainly understood what she meant, and he had already prepared a plan.

He smiled and said, "I can share the method of forging a legendary +1 magic weapon, but I need compensation this time."

A legendary wizard hat of +1 legendary level, which is an improved version of Rosen's. Elves don't have it.

The difference is that the elf's hat can only be worn by legendary wizards, but after Rosen's improvement, nothing else changed, but the threshold was lowered from legendary to 8th ring.

In other words, as long as a mage reaches the eighth ring, after putting on the hat, his soul strength can directly make him a legendary mage.

This is another way to become a legend, much simpler than using the Infinite Crystal.

However, the cost of this path is also very high.

With the capabilities of the Glorious Empire's Alchemy Department, or his own Natural Empire's Magic Department, the difficulty of creating a +1 legendary hat is much higher than that of a legendary crystal.

The cost of building one may exceed 200,000 Oggs.

And it is very difficult to improve.

Even if various processes were changed, the best that could be improved was only to Legend + 2.5.

Therefore, allowing the two empires to possess this new technology can not only greatly increase the number of legendary strongmen and better fight against the Elf Empire, but also will not pose any threat to Rosen.

Not only is it not strong enough, but also because Rosen left a very secret and special loophole in the hat that can only be discovered and cracked by someone with super computing power.

Back to the topic.

Zhuoya now has a legendary soul strength of 9.5 and extremely sharp insight. As soon as she heard Rosen's words, she vaguely guessed his thoughts.

Her cheeks suddenly turned red: "Can you change the reward?"

"No, I want this one."

Zhuo Ya cursed: "You bastard! Can't you wait?"

She had announced the test difficulty and made her feelings very clear, but this guy insisted that she lose her virginity before marriage. What a bastard.

Rosen smiled slightly and pointed to his lips: "A kiss, isn't that enough?"

"ah?"

Zhuo Ya was startled, then realized that she had guessed wrong, and felt a little ashamed, so she said, "Of course."

She took the initiative to give Rosen a kiss.

After this kiss, Rosen did not let go and enjoyed it for a while. He did not stop until the Glorious Queen's lips were swollen.

Zhuo Ya was panting, her face flushed, her body limp in Rosen's arms, not saying a word.

But unexpectedly, Rosen stretched out his hand and took out another thing.

"I have more than one birthday present, Your Majesty."

Zhuo Ya turned her eyes to look, and found that it was an exquisite necklace, made of neither gold nor wood. With her current keen sense, she could not discover the function of this thing.

"What's this?"

"Infinite Phase Shift Necklace, also known as the Escape Necklace."

"When you encounter fatal danger, it will ignore the effects of any imprisonment array, take you away from the dangerous area, and teleport you directly to my side."

This necklace is inspired by Dora, the Moon Goddess, but with some upgrades.

The necklace alone is only one part, the other part is connected to Rosen's rifle.

About 1% of the computing power was allocated to this. It wasn't much, but it was enough to judge the danger, activate the magic weapon, and help Zhuoya escape at the critical moment.

While explaining, he gently put the exquisite necklace on Zhuoya's slender white neck, and whispered in her ear: "If you encounter a strong enemy that you cannot deal with, you must remember that I will always stand firmly behind you."

Zhuoya gently stroked the exquisite necklace with a gentle texture, and she felt numb in her heart, filled with an indescribable emotion.

Growing up, she had always faced difficulties and obstacles alone and had never asked anyone for help. Only Rosen made her feel a sense of security like a solid city wall.

A thought came to my mind: 'Hey~ I actually know what he wants. But he treats me like this, why am I still so reserved?'

"Why not let him have a taste of the sweetness? Just hold on to the last step."

After this thought came to her mind, she lowered her head and asked in a mosquito-like voice, "What reward do you want this time?"

Rosen felt the time was right, so he leaned over to her ear and whispered, "I want my hand to go inside my clothes."

"You can come in if you want."

Rosen touched it and felt something warm and fragrant in his hand, which was extremely refreshing.

Zhuoya closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.

Rosen continued, "I won't be attending the birthday party the day after tomorrow because I'm in a hurry to get back to the lab. Of course, my puppet will attend."

"Um."

"At the banquet, I will give you a most advanced and safe lightning car, and I will also give the Empire 200 Apocalypse Chariots."

Zhuo Ya was shocked: "200 Apocalypse Chariots?"

Of course she knew about the Apocalypse Chariot, which was the treasure of the Natural Empire Army.

If six fourth-ring mages sit in this thing, they can exert amazing combat power on the front battlefield.

The Glorious Empire has also developed similar products, but their performance is far inferior to the Natural Empire's Apocalypse Chariot, and their production capacity is also far less.

Before, she had always wanted to buy a few Apocalypse Chariots and let the Imperial Magic Department study them carefully. She was even willing to pay a huge price for them, but Rosen had always been vague and evasive. She didn't expect that he would give them to her at his birthday party, and give her 200 of them at once.

She was still a little confused: "This is not something you can decide alone, right?"

"Of course not. This is the decision I reached after persuading the various cabinet ministers."

"In addition to the tanks, we will also cover the follow-up maintenance and provide a batch of artillery shells for free."

The reason is very simple, that is, the power of the Holy Elf Empire is much stronger than expected, and he is afraid that the Glorious Empire cannot withstand it, so he loses some blood.

The performance of the chariot is at least 50% better than similar chariots of the Glorious Empire, but slightly worse than those used by the Empire itself.

For example, the Endless Legend Crystal installed in the car has been reduced from the standard 10,000 Rosen legendary mana to 5,000 Rosen. The caliber of the main gun has also been reduced.

But this was still a huge concession, which moved Zhuoya so much that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

At the same time, under Rosen's manipulation, her usually calm and clear mind became a little dazed. She felt her heart beating like a drum, her breathing quickened, and a surge of hot blood rushing through her limbs.

In a daze, she felt that Rosen had reached the bottom line. Her mind suddenly tightened and she wanted to stop him, but she heard Rosen's voice in her ears: "Zhuoya, after this time, I don't know when we will meet next time."

Zhuo Ya's heart softened at these words. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "You are so bad."

He reminded again: "Use a magic barrier, don't let anyone find out."

Rosen immediately complied and continued.

"Be gentle!"

"As you command, Your Majesty."

I don’t know how long it took, Zhuoya complained in a slightly hoarse voice.

"My skirt is torn. How am I going to explain this to Nali?"

Rosen knew that Nali was her trusted maid, and now was not the time to make their relationship public, so he said, "Then just take it all off, and I'll use magic to fix it for you."

Zhuoya knew that Rosen was good at refining weapons, so she thought it would not be difficult to repair the skirt, so she did as she was told.

"Ah~ Why are you here again!"

Rosen sighed softly: "My dear, please let me have more memories."

He was really reluctant to leave, especially because of Zhuoya's long and straight legs, which were so cool.

Zhuoya was also reluctant in her heart, because the feeling just now was far beyond her imagination.

She originally thought that this was no big deal, and was even a little scary, but after actually experiencing it, she found that it was as refreshing as ascending to heaven.

Of course she knew that this was not only because the thing itself was refreshing, but also because Rosen was such an outstanding person.

I couldn't help but think: 'No wonder Irene would rather divorce than stay in Weilan, it turns out this bastard has such a good ability.'

How sad life would be if I could never experience this again.

Unable to hold back, she took another step back, and whispered with a shy face: "How about you set up a phase transfer beacon in the faith chamber, and come directly to me when you need me."

"real?"

"Really, but it must be locked with a spell, so that only you can teleport, and no one else can."

"Of course."

He has to arrange this sign carefully.

Next, of course, there was another violent storm, which blew the Glorious Queen to pieces.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Rosen stopped and went to the secret room to set up the teleportation beacon.

After dressing up carefully, Zhuoya left the cubicle.

When he arrived at the study, he summoned his trusted maid back.

Nali was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

The Queen has always been diligent in her work, and I have never seen her rest for so long before.

Zhuo Ya shook her head guiltily: "No, I accidentally overslept."

"Your Majesty, your forehead band is so beautiful. Hey, why do you have a new necklace?"

Zhuoya's face was stern, and she stopped the curious maid: "Okay, I just changed my jewelry. Don't be curious, there are still many things to deal with."

But I was secretly worried: "I feel weird when I walk, and I don't know how many days it will take to get better. I must not let anyone notice."

Then he couldn't help but think of Rosen, and his face, which had just returned to normal, began to turn hot again.

'It's all this bastard's fault!'

Oops, I owe you another favor.
