Start with Island Lord

Silver Sand City is an earth city built on a low stone beach.

The ground is low, dry, and filthy, and when the wind blows, the sky is filled with dust.

People who live here don't need to wear clothes, but they must wrap a towel around their heads, which can not only protect them from the sun and wipe sweat, but also cover their mouth and nose and block dust.

In the northern suburbs of the city, Rosen and Tila Lilin stood side by side on a slope, looking at the earth city ahead.

After looking at it for a while, Rosen commented: "Although it is very simple, it is quite large, with a radius of more than 5 kilometers, and at least 70,000 to 80,000 people gathered there."

At this time, there are less than ten days left before the door of creation opens.

Most of the explorers from the outer plane went north, which made Silver Sand City a lot deserted.

Tira Lilin's face looked a little lonely: "It is simply a ruin, and there is no longer any trace of the glory of the Dawn Empire."

"It's still a little bit."

Rosen pointed to a black Dawn Guard standing at the northern entrance of the city.

"Speaking of which, it can be regarded as your old friend. If we enter the city, will it recognize you?"

Intelligence shows that there are 20 such black Dawn Guards, which is a big trouble.

Tira Lilin shook her head: "Don't worry, all the identifiable features on my body have been modified, it can't recognize me."

After saying that, she walked downhill first: "Let's go into the city."

Rosen followed immediately: "Did you feel the location of the memory artifact?"

"It's a little clearer than before, but we still can't pinpoint it accurately. We have to keep getting closer."

Rosen didn't want to risk going into the city.

"You said the memory artifact is a 22-ring artifact, so ordinary high-energy weapons shouldn't be able to harm it, right?"

Tira Lilin understood Rosen's plan as soon as she heard it: "Your Majesty, do you plan to use high-energy power to wash away this kind of city?"

Rosen also didn’t deny it: “I will always consider it as a backup option.”

He is not a merciful saint. If the situation requires it, he must use it.

Tira Lilin had no sympathy for the dusty city in front of her. This was not the first time she had witnessed high-energy warfare, so she was not surprised by Rosen's thoughts.

But she raised objections from a practical perspective.

"Your Majesty, high-energy weapons, such as the fusion explosive bombs you master. When it explodes, the intensity at the center will reach an extremely high level. If hit head-on, it will be enough to destroy any artifact."

"In addition, although high-energy weapons are extremely powerful, every spear has a shield. The empire has many high-energy spells that are enough to defend against high-energy weapons. I believe Cicero will definitely think of this and make targeted defenses."

"Not even him, even I, who have lost many memories, can think of many ways to defend against fusion bombs. For example, hiding deep under the earth, or hiding in the protective cabin of the Dawn Guard."

Rosen was convinced and spread his hands: "Okay, I am ignorant."

After a while, the two of them arrived at the outskirts of Silver Sand City.

There are no protective walls in Tucheng, so there are a large number of entrances that can be freely entered and exited. However, the residents in the city are very vigilant. Once they find strangers entering the city, they will be treated as aliens by the locals.

After walking for a while, Rosen whispered in his soul: "The city is too small. Countless people are watching our whereabouts, and there is no place to hide."

Those staring eyes gave him a sense of déjà vu as if he had returned to his hometown in the countryside to celebrate the New Year in his previous life.

But this time, Tira Lilin, who was always talkative, did not answer.

Her face was gloomy, her eyes were vacant, and she was walking as if she was sleepwalking.

Rosen immediately noticed that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly grabbed her arm and shook her hard: "What happened?"

Tira Lilin's body trembled slightly, and her divergent eyes refocused.

"I just had a time game with Cicero. He already knew I was coming, but he hasn't found out my specific location yet. But Silver Sand City will be on alert soon!"

Rosen frowned slightly: "So, have you confirmed the location of the memory artifact?"

"I'm sure the artifact is next to Cicero, less than five kilometers away from us. But I haven't found a specific hiding place yet."

Tira Lilin sighed.

"I don't know how he discovered my secret, let alone when he discovered it. But one thing is certain. If I want to get all my memories back, I must defeat Cicero completely."

At this time, Rosen had discovered nearby changes through his void vision.

The black dawn guards in the city began to activate, and the city guards also began to search for foreign travelers on the streets.

The dangerous tide was rushing toward their location.

Rosen naturally made a response plan for this.

In fact, he made many response strategies according to different situations, including legion attacks, nuclear bombs and so on.

But judging from the current situation, there is no need to go to war for the time being.

He planned to try a lightning strike before the other party could fully react.

The first step in a raid is to ensure that you have a safe escape route.

While the black Dawn Guards were not fully activated, Rosen began to contact the Dawn Guards under their control through ghost resonance and set up corresponding battle orders.

Although they only have one Dawn Guard, it has an advantage that other Dawn Guards do not have. It is loaded with a full kilogram of sun essence, which is far more powerful than the black Dawn Guard.

When needed, this Dawnguard can emergency enter a higher-intensity combat mode.

Of course, in order to avoid scaring Cicero away, Rosen would not use this killer move unless necessary.

Then, he grabbed Tiralilin's hand and walked quickly into a tunnel entrance on the side of the road.

These tunnels are very deep, leading to at least 1,000 meters underground, and many tunnels are connected in a crisscross manner, forming an underground city like a maze.

Its main purpose is to avoid the Ring of Law storm and various bad weather. It was dug out by the surviving remnants of the empire generation after generation.

The underground Silver Sand City is much cooler than the ground, so it is quite lively, even more lively than the ground.

There are many glowing crystals on both sides of the passage, and pedestrians can be seen from time to time, most of whom are locals of Silver Sand City, and a small number are travelers from other places.

Rosen and Tiralilin naturally received a lot of attention, but not more than the attention they received on the ground.

Rosen rushed all the way to the depths of the underground passage, very fast, and seemed to be in a panic.

After running for a while, Tiralilin was a little confused: "Where are we going?"

Although her power has been raised to the extreme of Legend 19, at the same level as Rosen, her void vision range is far less than Rosen's, and even less clear.

In her current situation, she can only see the surrounding area within 200 meters.

In contrast, Rosen can clearly see about 2 kilometers, almost covering half of the city.

Of course, he is not running around.

While running, he whispered.

"Of course, before Cicero reacts, find his hiding place from the underground passage."

After saying that, he reminded: "During this period, you'd better not use time spells, so as not to expose our position."

These days, he also learned some common sense of time spells from Tiralilin, and generally knew how to deal with the detection of time spells.

But it's just common sense, but he can't learn it.

Because the time spell itself is extremely profound, it also requires a mysterious time talent to support it.

According to Tira Lilin, there were less than 2,000 people with this talent among the 8 billion people in the Dawn Empire, and only 7 people finally reached the master level.

On the other side, Tira Lilin was still confused: "But if I don't use the time spell, I can't determine Cicero's exact location."

"But he can't determine your location either, right?"

"Yes."

"Very good, then tell me now, what does Cicero look like, or what obvious features does he have."

"Sorry, it's been too long, I don't know."

Rosen was not disappointed: "Okay, then we can only go to Silver Sand City Lord Baril to ask for directions."

He could see clearly that this guy was in a spacious underground hall about 1,800 meters ahead of them.

There was a rather tortuous underground passage directly connecting the two sides.

Even without using spells, it would only take less than a minute to run all the way there with the physical strength of the divine body far exceeding that of mortals.

In addition, for safety reasons, they could not use spells at present.

Because once you use a spell, you may be discovered and targeted by the awakened Black Dawn Guards.

Tiralilin followed Rosen and said, "Cicero is hiding very deep, and the city lord Baril may not know Cicero's location."

"You are right, but do you have a better way?"

"No."

"If you don't, just listen to me."

Without causing chaos, they ran forward as fast as possible for a kilometer, and guards began to appear in the passage ahead.

The guards were already on alert, but their vigilance was not high, and they were constantly checking the foreign travelers in the passage.

In this situation, it is difficult to get through by ordinary means.

Tiralilin was a little panicked: "Your Majesty, the plan has changed. Why don't we retreat temporarily and discuss a better tactic."

"If the plan fails, I will retreat, but not now."

Rosen stopped running, took Tiralilin to a remote corner of the concave, pretended to be intimate, and whispered softly at the same time.

"Don't move, cooperate with me."

Tila Lilin didn't know Rosen's plan, but there was no better way, so she could only cooperate and let Rosen's hand reach into her clothes to grope.

In order to make it more realistic and to attract the attention of the guards, Rosen deliberately tore open her clothes and exposed a white thunder seed to the air.

After a while, two guards came to the two of them.

Seeing this situation, the two subconsciously relaxed their vigilance.

Just as he was about to interrogate, Rosen turned around like lightning, and a deep purple light flashed on his hand. "Puff" twice, the two guards were hit on the side of the head.

The two guards were silent and fell to the ground.

It was a pocket-sized magic-breaking hammer made for Rosen by the Natural Empire High Energy Laboratory to imitate the Dawn Guard's magic-breaking blade.

Its powerful magic-breaking characteristics easily broke the magic amulet on the guards like a hot knife cutting butter.

And because it was a blunt weapon, there was no big fight with blood splattering.

But the skulls of the two guards were shattered, and part of their brains were smashed, and they died on the spot.

Rosen quickly raised his hand to grab the guard who was about to fall to the ground, and fixed him against the wall, and then pulled Tiralilin forward.

After running for more than ten steps, the latter finally reacted, pulling her clothes to cover her body, and asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you a mage? How can you use a hammer?"

Rosen smiled: "I learned a little bit of everything."

"Learned a little bit. Is this a little bit?"

Although she herself can't do it, her vision is first-class sharp.

The two guards just now had 8-ring souls and extremely tough temperaments. They must have extraordinary skills, but they were killed by Rosen in a single encounter, and they didn't even have time to scream.

So this is simply a master-level cold weapon fighting technique.

She felt vaguely that in terms of close combat, even Belldandy might not be Rosen's opponent.

Rosen certainly wouldn't explain that this was the effect of Lai Fu's "Heart of the God of War", and this also made the latter once again improve his evaluation of his talent.

Later on the road, Rosen encountered four waves of guards who came to check.

Because the underground passage was narrow and the light was dim, all these guards were killed silently by Rosen with a magic-breaking hammer.

No matter how strong the guards were, even if they were legendary warriors, the battle process was no different, anyway, it was just a hammer to end the account.

From beginning to end, Rosen did not use any spells, and naturally did not attract the Black Dawn Guards.

About five minutes later, the two came to a relatively spacious underground passage.

There were ten guards standing in two rows on the left and right in the passage.

These were elite guards, each of whom was a legendary warrior.

They wore fine sand lizard leather armor, and unknown hard metal pieces were attached to their vital parts.

Their weapons were also much better than those of ordinary guards. In their left hands, they had a strangely shaped artifact fragment shield, and in their right hands, they had an artifact fragment spear, which could be used for attack or defense.

It could also be felt that there were two people in the hall at the end of the passage.

One of them had a tough soul with a legendary strength of 10, which matched the description of the city lord Baril by the Saint Scout.

The other had the power of legendary 19, but did not have a divine body, and his specific identity was unknown.

Rosen used his fingers to write quickly on the back of Tiralilin's hand: "Is the memory artifact in the hall?"

Tiralilin shook her head and wrote in the same way: "I can feel that I am very close to the artifact, but something is interfering with the signal, so it is difficult to accurately locate it."

Rosen wrote again: "Do you know the other person in the hall in front?"

Tiralilin wrote on the back of Rosen's hand with her backhand: "I feel the soul characteristics of the Sangluo family."

In other words, that guy is from the Sangluo family of the Black Death God.

She then wrote: "The situation ahead seems to be very tricky, what are you going to do?"

Rosen replied: "Try it, and if it doesn't work, just force it."

To be honest, the current situation is quite complicated and confusing, but since we are preparing to launch a lightning raid tactic, we can't care so much.

Rosen took out a stack of throwing knives from under his cloak, no more, no less, exactly ten, and they were also made of the materials of the magic-breaking artifact.

Tiralilin was startled and looked at Rosen with strange eyes, meaning very clearly: 'You can also throw throwing knives? ’

Rosen grinned and said silently: "I said, I know a little bit of everything."

Compared to various sophisticated and complicated spells, the difficulty of close combat skills is simply child's play.

Lai Fu's "Heart of the God of War" only needs to invest less than one ten-thousandth of computing power, which is enough to make him a peerless master of cold weapon combat.

And the power of cold weapon combat depends largely on the strength of the weapon.

The upper limit of the law-breaking flying knife in Rosen's hand is naturally far inferior to the law-breaking blade of the Dawn Guard, but when dealing with legendary and lower powers, the effect is almost the same.

He suddenly rolled out from his hiding place, and before he got up, the flying knife in his hand had been thrown out violently with the momentum.

When throwing it out, ten fingers fine-tuned the direction of each flying knife.

'Hiss hiss~~~Puff puff~~~'

Like lightning, he threw two waves in a row, and the ten guards were hit almost at the same time and fell to the ground directly.

Without stopping for a moment, Rosen rushed to the entrance of the hall at full speed. Before he showed up, something was thrown in.

But it was not a flying knife, but two magic balls.

‘Puff~’

The two people in the hall had heard the movement outside the door, but they didn’t expect the opponent to come so quickly.

Before he could react, he was hit in the head by a magic ball and fell to the ground unconscious.

The powerful body gave Rosen a speed far beyond that of ordinary legendary warriors, and there was no movement of any spells, which made the two people in the hall have a fatal misjudgment of the opponent’s strength.

So, Rosen got two high-level captives.
