Start with Island Lord

The documents that can be placed in the Linhu Study are naturally the most important batch of documents in the empire.

The defense of the study is very, very tight, even an ant can hardly enter.

But the method of turning over the documents is very secretive, and there is no clue left for investigation.

Therefore, at the first time, Rosen suspected that it was an internal person who committed the crime.

It is very likely that the assistant mages in the study did it, because they can legally access these documents.

Immediately find the elite officers of the Security Bureau and start to secretly explore and investigate.

There are a total of 20 assistant mages, and the investigation was completed quickly. As a result, everyone was proved to be innocent.

This result surprised Rosen a little.

‘Did I make a mistake? ’

This is almost impossible.

Because Emperor Rosen is the last one to leave the study every day, and before leaving, he will make a detailed record of the situation in the study.

The reason why he found that someone had moved the documents was because there was a very subtle change in the position of the documents.

The change may be less than one tenth of a millimeter, but it cannot escape Lai Fu's detailed comparison.

After another careful comparison, Rosen confirmed that someone really entered the Linhu Study after him.

This person moved a lot of files, almost every file was turned over.

‘He sneaked into my study and hid all traces afterwards. This ability is quite amazing. ’

If he can sneak into the study silently, he can sneak into the backyard and even sneak into his underground laboratory.

So this matter is very serious and must be figured out.

Rosen simply sealed the study, and then replaced Emperor Rosen with Combat Rosen, who has super high perception.

Soon after Combat Rosen entered the study, he found a new clue.

This discovery was not about magic, but about smell.

‘There is a very faint smell in the corner of the study, which is the smell of fireworks from the downtown area of ​​Mondania. ’

People who can enter and exit the Linhu Study have extremely high status and rarely go to the downtown area. They don’t have much smell of fireworks on their bodies, so this smell must be left by the intruder.

Because it was still early, the government department of Swan Castle had not yet started work, and the atmosphere left by the night had not been completely disrupted, and Combat Rosen followed this faint smell of fireworks and tracked all the way.

He chased out of the study, passed through the garden, and crossed the retaining wall, and finally left Swan Castle and came to a secluded place by the Swan Lake.

Then, he saw an unnatural cave entrance, which was very neat and could be dug out by magic.

A faint breath of mana came out of the cave.

Through this breath, Lai Fu concluded: 'Basic soul strength legendary 17, mana strength legendary 17, mana scale 3000 Rosen. '

At first glance, he looks like a saint of a great god, but the basic soul strength of this saint is ridiculously high, which is very unreasonable.

Even if this Combat Rosen is armed to the teeth, he has no confidence in facing this man.

Considering that the other party's actions were very secretive and he probably didn't want to make a big deal, Rosen tentatively said to the cave: "I found you, come out."

After waiting for more than ten seconds, a female voice came from the cave: "Oh~~ This is really beyond my expectation, how did you find me?"

The voice revealed a hint of surprise.

"You have achieved near perfection in magic, but in terms of elements, there is a slight flaw."

"Oh~~ Okay, I will improve next time."

After a pause, another voice came from the cave: "I am sleeping and I am too lazy to move for the time being. Either you come in and talk to me, or you wait outside the cave until I wake up."

Rosen came as a puppet. After thinking for a while, he walked towards the cave entrance.

At the same time, his main body was ready to cut off contact with the puppet at any time.

Once he found that something was wrong, he would abandon the car to save the general.

The cave entrance was about two meters high and one meter wide, with many vines hanging on it to cover it, which looked very inconspicuous.

Originally, Rosen thought the cave would be very dark and narrow, but after walking a few meters into the cave, he felt that he had passed through a strange film, and at the same time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a delicate, fresh, and bright bedroom appeared.

It was not inferior to his bedroom in Swan Castle.

There was a soft couch in the bedroom, and a beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes was lying lazily on her side, covered only with a thin silk quilt as smooth as water.

The scenery was great, but she was a little small.

This beautiful woman was less than one meter tall, like a dwarf.

But she was different from ordinary dwarfs, because the body proportions of ordinary dwarfs were different from those of ordinary people, and their heads would appear large and their bodies small.

But the dwarf in front of him was a smaller version of a normal person, and looked very well-proportioned.

This strange scene made Rosen's heart move slightly, and he thought of a strange story he had seen in the newspaper before about a mare giving birth to a dwarf.

On the other side, after seeing Rosen, the dwarf woman yawned and asked lazily: "Rosen, who do you guess I am?"

Rosen of course had some guesses: "I guess you are related to the goddess of life Adela, probably a saint she carefully cultivated?"

The black-haired woman shook her head: "I guessed half right."

She did not hide it and said: "To be more precise, I am the elemental projection of the goddess of life Adela, or I am Adela."

"Elemental projection. This is a new word, I don't know."

Adela smiled and said: "It's normal that you don't know, because this is the latest result of my developed magic, which is my exclusive ability."

Rosen sincerely praised: "Awesome!"

While speaking, he looked at the other person up and down, and then said: "But there seems to be a small problem during the projection."

Adela showed a trace of embarrassment on her face: "Well, the results are indeed not yet mature. Do I look weird now?"

Rosen nodded: "It's indeed strange. How did you do it?"

Adela sighed: "The elemental projection disk malfunctioned. It adjusted both the projection ratio and the projection coordinates wrongly, which caused me to experience some extremely terrifying things."

Rosen immediately recalled the anecdotes he had read in the newspaper: "So, you didn't really climb out of the mare's butt, did you?"

Adela's expression became more and more embarrassing: "You are really well informed, but I hope you won't mention this matter a second time, because I don't want to recall those past events."

"Okay, so what's your reason for coming?"

Speaking of this, Adela's face became serious: "First of all, I have to formally introduce myself."

"The goddess of life, Adela, is my name in the mortal world, but this name is used to gather faith and facilitate my management of the elemental plane. And my true identity is the supervisor of the plane."

"Perhaps to be more accurate, he is a plane supervisor who has lost his glory."

Rosen was slightly shocked when he heard this: "What are you supervising?"

"Once the level of spell development in the supervising plane exceeds the critical point, the plane supervisor must intervene and use various means to push the development level back below the critical point."

After saying this, Adela asked with a smile: "Do you think that gods and demons are all inhuman creatures?"

Rosen suppressed his surprise and nodded gently: "I do think so."

"Your idea is not wrong. Demons are indeed inhuman beings. Lower gods are also inhuman, but great gods are not."

"The great god is a soul projection."

The words 'element projection' and 'soul projection' gave Rosen a very strange feeling.

He subconsciously asked: "So, there is still an origin used for projection?"

Adela snapped her fingers lightly: "Yes, there is an origin."

"This origin exists within the plane of the upper-level magic ring. We call it the divine body, which is the body after the perfect fusion of elements and soul."

Rosen was shocked by the large number of unfamiliar words. He looked at the other person carefully and found that the other person looked almost exactly like a mortal. He could not feel the inhuman aura of a demon at all.

This is the result of Battle Rosen's detailed investigation, so what the other party said is most likely true.

"Then what's your purpose of coming?"

"I want to talk to you."

Adela's face showed a trace of solemnity.

"I listened to what you asked Laresia to bring to me."

"To be honest, these words did not threaten me, because our planes are far away, and I have no idea about the plane I am in."

"But I clearly feel your determination and confidence, which makes me curious about you."

"What are you curious about?"

"I'm curious and want to know what you have to rely on?"

"Then, I came quietly, and then, I saw the magnificent imperial capital you built, and at the same time, I heard an amazing plan."

Speaking of this, Adela stared at Rosen: "Your Ocean Heart plan, although it was not stated clearly, has already surprised me, because it is very likely to be an important critical point in the development of magic."

Rosen asked instead, "So, you entered my study just to confirm this?"

"Yes, but you obviously hid it very well. I didn't get an answer, so I just asked directly."

"I want to know, have you really discovered the secret of the sun?"

After saying this, Adela's elemental projection added: "I know this issue is very sensitive, so I will make my position clear first."

"It's true that I was once a plane supervisor, but my supervisory responsibilities have basically dissipated, so I don't want to meddle in other people's business."

"I am also the main god of Drytan, because I hope to get his branch of life. To do this, I helped him slightly perfect the Golden Warrior."

"If I can always get the branch of life, then I will not interfere in this plane war."

"Whether you win or Dritan wins, it has nothing to do with me."

Rosen was dubious, but with the methods shown by this so-called great god, it was best not to say anything.

So he said: "Since you don't want to exercise your supervisory power, why do you want to know about this?"

"It's very simple. If this is true, then Dritan will not be your opponent in any case."

"I will sever ties with Dritan and cooperate with you after you defeat Dritan."

Rosen thought for a moment and nodded: "I did obtain some secrets of the sun."

With the other party's methods, once you are suspicious, you can't hide it. Since you can't hide it, just say it.

There was a trace of shock on Adela's face, which soon turned into deep emotion.

"Oh, after 20,000 years, another elemental civilization has finally reached this point."

Rosen didn't understand what he said, but he had a feeling that the other party would tell him the reason soon.

Sure enough, Adela said: "If you didn't lie to me, then you and your empire are standing at a crossroads."

"There are two roads ahead of you, one is total destruction. The other is to fall into the abyss."

Rosen's heart was slightly disturbed, but his face was expressionless: "I didn't understand."

Adela raised her hand and pointed at herself and then at the sky.

"Near this sun, there used to be three extremely glorious superior ring planes. But now, the glory of these three planes has completely dimmed, and they have fallen into three abyss."

"The demons of the abyss created the inhuman void demons to prevent other elemental civilizations from achieving the glory that their ancestors once achieved."

Rosen didn't understand again: "Since we have mastered the power of the sun, we should have inexhaustible power and create inexhaustible wealth. We should become a true kingdom of God. How can it be an abyss?"

Adela sighed softly: "The process of depravity is very long. I can't explain it at the moment, but you must understand the nobles, right?"

"certainly."

"Nobles, especially great nobles, can be said to have inexhaustible resources. They can enjoy the most delicious food, the most exquisite clothes, the most gorgeous houses, and can also control the fate of countless civilians."

“But among these great nobles, the first generation may strive for progress, the second generation may imitate their father’s glory, and the third generation may stick to tradition, but the fourth and fifth generations usually only want to use all means to maintain their own glory. "

"His greed, indifference, and ruthlessness are no different from those of a devil."

Rosen understood: "The wind and sand of time have corroded the Kingdom of God into an abyss?"

Adela nodded: "Yes, it has been too long. Over three hundred thousand years, the glory of our ancestors has been completely dimmed, and the virtues of heroes have disappeared with the wind, leaving only a group of despicable rats and an abyss composed of rats. ”

"Twenty thousand years ago, there was an elemental civilization that reached your level, and even went further than you."

"Civilization and its founders saw the tragedy of the three abyss. They wanted to get rid of the curse of time, so they kept exploring to higher levels, trying to break through the shackles of the solar ring and enter a deeper star realm."

"But in the end, they failed and their civilization was destroyed in a terrible war."

Having said this, Adela turned her head and looked at the Swan Lake in the distance, with a touch of sadness on her face.

"So Rosen, which path are you going to take? Destruction or degradation?"

Rosen thought for a moment and said: "While I am alive, I will choose to keep moving forward. After I die, I won't be able to control so much."

Adela nodded: "This is my answer to you. I will try my best to hide all this for you, but you have to keep a low profile yourself and don't let other void gods and demons know about this."

"Because although the Abyss has fallen, there are still some legacy of the glory of their ancestors. Once they notice the emergence of challengers, they will definitely try their best to destroy them."

"The other six great people may not have the same ideas as me."

Rosen was a little confused: "Why do you want to help me again?"

"Because I don't want to be an accomplice of the fallen, I want to see some new scenery in this lifeless world."

After a pause, she added: "At the same time, I also need strong allies who can help me completely escape from the abyss of corruption."

Rosen's heart moved slightly: "Can you tell me more about the abyss?"

Adela shook her head: "Sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's because I don't know much."

"In order to protect myself, my body is hidden in the deepest part of the abyss, basically cut off from contact with the outside world. So I don't know the current situation in the abyss."

"But I estimate that the abyss must have become even more depraved. Because in the past three thousand years, all those who have emerged from the abyss are cold-blooded demons."

"Now back to business."

“We have two win-win collaborations.”

"One is long-term, that is, I will help you cover up the development of civilization, and when you are strong enough, help me escape from the abyss."

"One is the immediate one, that is, you hand over the branch of life to me, and I will not interfere in the war in this plane."

"Do you agree?"

Rosen nodded: "I agree."

"Very well. Goodbye for now, mortal emperor."

With these words, Adela's body gradually turned to stone, and finally turned into an exquisite stone sculpture.

Rosen turned around and walked out of the cave, stopped by the Swan Lake, and looked at the sun rising slowly across the Swan Lake, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

But the mood lasted for a while and then dissipated.

He shrugged: "Hey~ This goddess of life is not bad looking."

He is an ordinary person on earth. When he came to this world, he has made a lot of money by being able to reach this stage.

As for the grand destiny of civilization, it will go as far as it can go; if it doesn't go, it will be pulled down.

Facing the corrosion of time, even the sun will be extinguished, not to mention the civilization of mortals?

Therefore, it is better to let nature take its course than to force it.

But one thing must be done, and that is to kill Dritan.

Just defeating him is not enough, he must be killed.

"I haven't had enough of my good life yet. If you insist on messing with me, don't blame me for being harsh."
