Start with Island Lord

‘Hua La~Hua La~~’

The rain kept falling and the wind kept blowing in the Howling Wilderness, but no lightning could be seen.

It was another dark night.

After leaving the tent, Rosen first took out the magic weapon "Hercules" and cast a spell "Heavy as a Ten Thousand Pounds" on the cloth-pressing stones around the tent.

In this way, the stone, which looked only a dozen kilograms on the surface, would actually show a mass of more than 200 tons.

Then, he cast a 5-ring powerful tempering spell on the fur of the tent, temporarily increasing the strength of the old cowhide, which was about half a centimeter thick, to a level comparable to that of high-strength steel plates.

So, this small tent suddenly became an inconspicuous but very strong temporary fortress.

After ensuring Tiralilin's safety, Rosen cast an ordinary "Dark Insight" on himself.

Under the effect of the spell, his eyes lit up slightly, and a dim and pale world appeared, which was similar to the night vision mode of electronic surveillance.

Immediately afterwards, he cast various combat auxiliary spells of the same 5th ring power. After confirming that everything was ready, he patrolled the temporary camp built on the high ground quietly like a cat.

The wind and rain were so strong that everyone in the camp was huddled in the tent, and no one could be seen outside the tent.

No one was worried about being attacked in such a ghostly weather, so the camp was very low in alert. The soldiers on night watch were all relaxed, and many were dozing off.

After a circle, no abnormalities were found in the camp for the time being.

So he continued to expand the patrol range.

One circle, two circles, three circles, when the range was expanded to 300 meters, Rosen finally found something wrong.

Behind the half-human-high weeds, he saw a lot of looming human figures.

The human figure was very tall, about two meters tall, very strong, human-like but not human, human-shaped, with animal ears, a face similar to that of a gorilla, covered with thick hair, and in the form of an orc in the folklore of the half plane.

There were quite a few of them, estimated to be more than 40, staring at the camp on the high ground.

Even though the orcs were very strong, Rosen didn't take them seriously.

What really made him feel incomprehensible was that although these orcs showed great hostility towards the camp, his and Tiralilin's time crisis premonition did not respond at all.

Even now, Rosen has discovered the sneak attacker, and the time crisis sensor has not been triggered, as if the orcs in front of him are just illusions and do not exist in this space and time.

'Could someone secretly cast a spell similar to "Undercurrent"? '

'That's not right. If there is such a great ability, why would they sneak attack quietly? Wouldn't it be better to crush them directly? '

If I can't figure it out, I will continue to investigate.

There are only more than 40 orcs, and their perception ability is not very good. They have not discovered Rosen's existence.

After a while, Rosen successfully went around behind the orc sneak attacker and began to search for possible time masters.

When searching, he mobilized all the computing power of Laifu. Once he found an opponent, he would not hesitate, show no mercy, and burst out the most powerful attack.

But after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

He once suspected that it was Antoineji's elemental projection Gao Miller who came in person, so he did not intend to find the opponent first, but to defend and counterattack.

'What's going on? '

If there is a strong man behind the orcs, with the means they have shown, they are likely to have discovered him and attacked him, but the other party has not done anything.

This is probably not because of the other party's pity, but because there is no such a strong man.

'But why can't the time spell sense these orcs? '

Rosen stood fifty or sixty meters behind the orcs, concentrated his mind, and began to observe the time illusion on the orcs.

After a few glances, he was immediately surprised: 'Huh~ There is no time illusion? '

The time spell is a power against the most basic existence of 'time and space'. Logically speaking, as long as a creature exists in time and space, it must have overlapping time illusions on its body, showing its past and future appearance.

But there is nothing on the orcs in front of him, only a piece of nothingness.

"They are breathing every moment, and they also have obvious heartbeats, which means that they are all living people, interacting with this piece of time and space at all times, and their time illusions must exist. But why can't I see it?"

He thought about it and thought of two possibilities.

Either his time talent is not strong enough, and these orcs have some ability to hide illusions. In other words, his Taoism is not high enough.

Or there is a principle of time magic that he is not clear about, and it is this principle that causes the current abnormality.

The specific situation is not known for the time being, and it takes careful research to figure it out.

The research target is naturally the group of orcs in front of him.

These orcs look stupid, but their strength is not clear. To avoid accidents, Rosen quietly retreated more than a hundred meters away, then picked up a stone and threw it at an orc with a throwing technique.

‘Puff~~’

The stone hit the orc’s back, not too hard or too light.

The orc turned his head and seemed to look at it, then scratched his back hard, and then nothing happened.

Such an obvious abnormality, he actually acted as if nothing had happened.

He looked like an idiot with a bad brain.

‘Then I’ll be ruthless. ”

Rosen sneaked in quietly to a distance of about 50 meters from the opponent, and aimed at the place where the orcs were most densely packed. With a thought, he cast a newly developed elemental spell "Nirvana Blade".

'Buzz~~~'

A faint sound was easily covered by the sound of wind and rain.

A weak and invisible fan-shaped ripple cut through the dense group of orcs in front at high speed, and in the blink of an eye it passed through the chests of nearly thirty orcs.

'Puff puff puff~~~'

A total of 43 orcs, 33 of whom had their upper and lower bodies suddenly separated, and the upper body above the chest fell directly from the lower body, and blood rushed into the sky, but it was diluted by the storm in a blink of an eye and washed away.

The remaining orcs were shocked by the sudden terrible attack.

They stood up and looked around, looking for hidden enemies.

But Rosen did not give his opponents a chance to react.

‘Buzz~~Buzz~~~’

He quickly changed the location and used two annihilation blades in succession at a frequency of once every half a second, killing another 8 orcs.

In almost the blink of an eye, only 2 orcs were alive.

To be more precise, the two orcs were intact.

Because Rosen found that although the orcs who were separated from each other were in great pain and on the verge of death, they had not died completely, and the souls in their heads had been condensed and not dispersed.

Rosen was secretly surprised: ‘Are the vitality of these orcs so strong? ’

The remaining two orcs were scared and stood there motionless.

Rosen walked to their vicinity and asked the two orcs: “Can you understand human language?”

The two orcs ‘woke up’ in shock, ‘thump~thump~~’ knelt on the ground, and spoke to Rosen ‘grunting’.

It was a strange language, and I couldn’t understand what it meant, but from the tone, it should be begging for mercy.

Judging from the pronunciation, it should be a variant of the common language of the Ao Shuang Kingdom.

With the help of Lai Fu, Rosen quickly mastered this orc language.

He asked: "Where are you from?"

"Dark Wilderness."

Rosen had never heard of this place name in the Ao Shuang Kingdom, so he asked: "Which kingdom? Cologne or Linde?"

The two orcs shook their heads.

One of the orcs with a tuft of white hair on his head said, "Not in this world, nor in the previous world, but in a very, very far place."

Another orc with big buck teeth said, "The land of my hometown suddenly cracked, and a big hole appeared. We fell in, and kept falling, and came to a new world."

The white-haired orc continued, "The new world is terrible~ They wanted to catch us all, so we ran away, and kept running away. Many of our tribesmen died, but we were lucky to find a cave, and we climbed through the cave and came here."

The big buck teeth continued, "This world is also terrible, but it is better than the previous world."

The white-haired orc immediately followed up, "We really want to go back to our hometown, but we can't go back no matter what we do."

"In fact, our hometown is not very good either. Those hairless people are very hateful. They keep us in captivity like wild animals and don't let us run around."

The two orcs talked one after another, just like a crosstalk, gradually depicting the outline of the incident.

Rosen was half-believing and half-doubting: "Where did you learn what you are saying now?"

Big Teeth said: "I learned it from the adventurers in the wilderness. We have been in this world for many years."

White Hair said: "We can live for a long, long time. I have lived for more than 300 years."

Rosen asked again: "How did you originally plan to deal with the camp ahead?"

Big Teeth swallowed his saliva and trembled: "I dare not~I dare not deal with it."

"Hurry up and say!"

Big Teeth's rough face showed clear fear and helplessness, and he stammered: "We don't want to kill all of you, we just want to take a group of people back and eat them as food."

White Hair continued: "We have no choice but to do this. In fact, human flesh is not delicious at all, but we are very short of food now. If we don't have anything to eat, we will starve to death."

"We won't let them suffer. We don't like to torture people. We will smash people to death with stones."

Rosen knew there were many lies when he heard these words, because these orcs were tall and strong, and they didn't look hungry at all.

But this has nothing to do with him.

He asked again: "You just said that you climbed through a cave and got here. Have you ever thought about climbing back?"

The orc shook his head repeatedly: "You can't climb back. The situation will be completely different after climbing back. It's very strange."

Another orc also nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, it's very strange. There are orcs constantly climbing out of it, but they can't climb back."

"Everyone also said that we fell from one hell to another, and we have been circling in hell. I don't know what kind of misfortune we have suffered."

Rosen smiled faintly, and then his face became serious: "Lie down!"

"What?"

"Lie on the ground! Don't move!"

The two orcs did it immediately.

Rosen walked over, first opened a barrier to block the wind and rain, and then began to carefully observe its soul structure.

Why observe the soul?

Because the illusion of time is located by the soul, he can't see the illusion of time of the orcs, and the problem is likely to come from their souls.

It was soon discovered that the soul structure of these two orcs was completely different from that of the human race in this solar star world, starting from the most basic structure. Not only can no similarities be found at present, but there is no similarity in the biological evolution path.

What's even more strange is that their souls and the thread of time do not react at all.

Rosen was secretly surprised: 'It seems that the hometown of these orcs is probably not a certain plane of this solar star world, but another solar star world. '

Where is this solar star world?

Is it the same universe as them, or somewhere else, no one knows.

While studying their soul structure, Rosen said at the same time: "What is your hometown like? Describe it to me in detail."

The two orcs immediately rushed to speak, fearing that they would be torn apart by Rosen if they spoke slowly.

"There are two suns, one blue and one yellow."

"There are four moons and countless stars. The sky is very lively."

"There is magic, but it is very difficult and we can't learn it."

Rosen immediately asked: "What does it look like?"

"It is the magic that allows people to fly in the sky."

"It can also lift the city into the sky!"

"It can create a moon in the sky!"

"It can also connect the moons in the sky with ropes!"

"Those hairless people are so powerful, much more powerful than us hairy people."

Rosen asked again: "Have those hairless people come to this world too?"

"I don't know, they should have come too. They look similar to you. Anyway, I can't see any big difference."

Rosen observed the soul structure of an orc, and then observed the soul of another orc.

Soon found the common point.

'There seems to be a delicate space-time structure in the soul. This should be the reason why the time spell is ineffective against it. ’

This structure is at the subatomic level, very subtle and extremely difficult to perceive. With Rosen's time talent and 13-ring soul strength, he could only vaguely feel its existence, but was unable to explore its specific fine structure.

He then checked the souls of the remaining 41 orcs that had always been condensed and undispersed, and found similar space-time structures.

During the inspection, he also found that although these orcs were split in half from the chest and even their hearts were cut open, so that they were too weak to move, the vitality of their body cells was still very strong, and it felt that as long as their bodies were reconnected, they would be able to come back to life.

He tried it immediately.

As a result, as soon as he connected their bodies, the fracture began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this speed, it would take at most three hours to heal as before.

During the healing process, Rosen did not feel any interference from ordinary spell power, but only vaguely perceived a very obscure fine space-time fluctuation.

‘What is this? Space-time life spell? ’

In any case, this situation greatly exceeded Rosen's current understanding of space-time magic, and made him feel the breath of a higher-dimensional power.

He came to a conclusion.

"It seems that the Eternal Empire's ultra-high-energy space-time experiment may have opened a channel to the distant Solar Star Realm."

"The mainstream races on the opposite Solar Star Realm also have extremely powerful power, even more powerful than the Eternal Empire, so the Eternal Empire was invaded."

"Since these orcs can come, the mainstream races can definitely come, and the number of people coming is likely to be more and stronger."

While speculating, Rosen carefully recorded the special space-time structure he sensed into Lai Fu's database.

'The current space-time power of the Solar Star Realm has an extremely weak effect on the soul of another Solar Star Realm, which can be almost ignored. '

"That is to say, there may be a large number of time-nothing souls from other worlds in this demiplane, or even in the abyss."

Thinking of this, Rosen asked again: "Which cave did you come out of?"

"I'll lead the way~"

"I'll do it, I remember the way better than you!"

The two orcs rushed to speak again.

Rosen immediately said: "Let's lead the way together."

Originally planned to go alone, but considering that his knowledge and experience in time and space spells were far inferior to Tiralilin, he returned to the tent and took the latter with him.
