Start with Island Lord

Night.

Bluestone City Outskirts.

In this area, the closer to the moat of Bluestone City, the denser the buildings. The farther away, the sparser the buildings, but the quality of the buildings gradually improved, and exquisite manors and villas gradually appeared.

Under the call of some mysterious power that Rosen could not perceive, Gilles walked all the way to the outskirts of Bluestone City under the cover of night.

At first, there were still some street lights to provide lighting, but gradually, the street lights disappeared, leaving only a thick and indissoluble darkness.

"Lord Roger, I can't see at all."

Rosen immediately removed the time barrier that wrapped Gilles' body: "What about now?"

"I can see again, and it's still very clear."

"In my hometown, only those who are blessed by the gods have such ability."

"You say, am I cursed by the evil god?"

Rosen shrugged: "I don't know about this, maybe."

The two walked along the suburban dirt road one after the other, and after walking about ten miles, they entered a low hill with undulating terrain.

The environment became very desolate. No houses could be seen in all directions, and the movements of wild animals gradually increased.

This was a deserted wilderness with few people.

Gilles was a little scared: "Lord Roger, do you think we will encounter monsters?"

Rosen reminded: "Don't worry, you are a monster now, and others should be afraid of you."

This statement made Gilles a little sad, but it did greatly reduce his timidity.

After walking along a mountain road for a while and bypassing a dense forest, he saw a dim light in a remote valley.

"There are people in the valley!" Gilles whispered.

Rosen nodded: "I saw it, it should be the residence of the summoner."

After walking closer, he could see the outline of the building clearly. It was a large manor built on the mountain.

There was a stone wall more than 4 meters high around the manor, which enclosed a square flat land with a length and width of more than 80 meters. Behind the parapet is a three-story building made of stone and wood. There are many rooms in the building. From the front window, there are at least 50 rooms.

The light I saw before was reflected from a window on the third floor.

Gilles was scared again: "Lord Roger, I can feel that the summoner is in the manor, and I can also feel that there are many people like me in the manor."

Rosen's heart moved when he heard it: "Many. How many?"

"I counted and felt that there were 100."

"I can also feel that many people are stronger than me. There are five who are much stronger than me. I have an uncontrollable fear. No, it should be despair, just like facing a crazy barbarian alone."

Gilles' voice was a little trembling.

Even if he turned around and ran the next moment, Rosen would not be surprised.

But of course he didn't turn around and run, because he was helpless now.

Rosen felt a little sympathetic towards the unfortunate guy, so he comforted him softly: "Since the summoner has spent so much effort to summon you, as long as you obey him, he will not hurt you easily."

"Of course, he may also force you to do something you don't want to do, but don't worry, I will accompany you into the manor."

This greatly comforted Gilles, and he took a deep breath: "Thank you very much, Lord Rogge."

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the manor.

The powerful enemy was right in front of him, and Rosen did not dare to be careless at all.

He had taken back 95% of Lai Fu's computing power and invested all of it in "Heart of the God of War", using only the remaining 10% to maintain control over the emperor puppet of the Natural Empire.

There was no worry about losing control of the empire.

First, the time flow rate in this demiplane was 1,000 times faster than that in the main plane. It took 1 hour here, but less than 4 seconds in the main world. The main world basically did not notice the slow reaction of this little time.

Second, after being promoted to the 13th ring, the soul strength soared, and Lai Fu's computing power also increased a lot. Even if only half of the computing power is used, the normal operation of the Natural Empire can be maintained.

He did not feel the slightest fear, but rather a faint excitement.

With a sharp sword in hand, magic in mind, and the "Heart of the God of War" that has been honed for many years, it would be a waste if he did not try it out.

'Crack~~~'

The iron gate of the manor opened, and the one who opened the door was a handsome man in black who was as handsome as Gilles.

After opening the door, he looked around Gilles and Rosen, and then fixed on Rosen, with a hint of evil smile on his face: "Warrior, you are in the wrong place~"

Although he said so, he did not make any action to drive him away, and his eyes revealed a clear sense of looking down, as if a powerful man from above was looking down on an insignificant ant.

Rosen was not surprised by this.

Because he was now playing a mortal warrior, and monsters like Gilles did have the powerful power to look down on mortal warriors.

He smiled slightly: "I came here with my friend Gilles. No matter what, I have to be with him."

"Since you insist, let's come in together."

The handsome man bowed slightly to invite him, with a nonchalant look on his face.

Rosen put his left hand on the artifact "Glory Orb" and his right hand on the hilt of the artifact "Destruction Sword". He took a half step behind Gilles and entered this mysterious mountain manor with him.

'Crack~~Click~'

The big iron gate behind him closed again, and then the handsome man in black who opened the door to greet them walked a few steps quickly and came to the front of the two to lead the way.

With the help of the spell "Dark Insight", Rosen has a dark vision that is not inferior to Gilles.

He can see clearly that although there are almost no lights in the manor, there are many people gathered in the yard in groups of three or two.

These people are men and women, all very young, and the men are extremely handsome and the women are also very beautiful. If they appear in public, they must be dazzling existences that attract the attention of ordinary people.

The only thing that makes Rosen feel a little comfortable is that these people's temperaments are too feminine.

It's okay for women to be feminine, but the men are also like this, so people feel spooky.

These people were originally very calm, but when they saw Rosen and Gilles enter the yard together, their faces suddenly showed surprise. Their eyes were cast on Rosen, and they seemed to not understand why he appeared here.

But the surprise lasted for a while, and then it turned into "curiosity", "gloating" and other expressions of watching the show.

Many people smiled at Rosen, but no one really took Rosen to heart.

After a while, the handsome man in black brought the two to the main door of the manor's main building.

The door was very large and thick, made of iron-studded hardwood, and was closed at this time.

The handsome man in black looked at Rosen with a smile: "Hey~ Warrior, I have to take my new companion to see the master, do you still insist on following?"

Rosen raised his eyebrows: "Why, no?"

"Of course, but the master has a bad temper, especially he can't stand the rough warriors who like to be heroes. If you die tragically because of this, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Rosen squinted and smiled: "Well, thank you for your reminder."

The handsome man in black shrugged, and after the men and women in the yard heard Rosen's reply, they laughed again, as if they had seen a rare and interesting thing.

‘Squeak~’

The handsome man in black pushed open the door, and behind the door appeared a dimly lit gorgeous hall. At the same time, a strong smell of blood rushed out from behind the door. Combined with the dark red decorations in the hall, it showed an extremely depressing atmosphere.

Gilles’ face turned pale, and his body couldn’t help shaking slightly, but his eyes were shining with scarlet light.

Rosen could see clearly that Gilles’ reason was afraid, but the strange power in his body was excited, as if a lost child had returned home.

A feminine male voice came from the depths of the hall.

“Come in, my servant~”

Gilles hesitated, but couldn’t resist the instinct deep in his body, and was forced to step into the hall.

Rosen glanced at the handsome man in black at the door, who still had a gloating look on his face and didn’t make any blocking moves.

He continued to follow into the hall.

The floor of the hall was covered with thick dark red carpet. Walking along the carpet for more than 30 meters, you can see a gorgeous high-backed bench with a man sitting on it.

The man had scarlet hair and a delicate and feminine face. He wore a scarlet crystal spike crown, a gorgeous scarlet silver silk robe, and a scarlet gem black wood cane in his hand.

Judging from his facial features, the man was very young, but his temperament was full of vicissitudes, as if he had experienced countless times.

Rosen quickly observed the other party.

No time and space illusions were found on his body, indicating that the other party's soul also came from another world.

The soul breath was very condensed, at least as high as 18 rings, very strong, much stronger than Rosen, but nothing in this demiplane.

The gem cane in his hand was very special.

To be more precise, the scarlet gem inlaid on the cane was very special.

He could clearly feel that the gem emitted an obscure but not negligible time fluctuation, and its fluctuation characteristics had many similarities with Gilles' soul structure, but the degree of concentration was ridiculously high.

Rosen felt that it was more condensed than Adela's 21-ring power to cast a time spell, and it was very likely to have reached 23 rings, or even beyond 23 rings.

It is entirely possible for a magical weapon that exceeds the 23rd ring to appear.

For example, the ‘Time Orb’ given by the witch Patnaros comes from the Sun Ring, and its strength exceeds the 23rd ring.

Adela and Tiralilin both told Rosen that the magical weapon that exceeds the 23rd ring has an extremely incredible power that even mortals cannot understand, so it is given the same name by the two empires, that is, ‘True Artifact’.

A thought flashed through his mind: ‘This gem cane is the key, I have to pay special attention to it. ’

The true artifact must be ridiculously strong, but the person who uses the true artifact is far from strong enough.

So although Rosen was alert, he did not feel terrible.

At this time, a feminine male voice came from the front again.

“Ah~~ A blood guard who took the initiative to deliver himself is really rare.”

This was obviously said to Rosen.

Rosen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can I know where this is?"

"This is the mortal temple of the great Tslokavid."

"And I am Akaman. Umm, the blood mage who worships the great one~~~You are not bad looking, but your temperament is too strong, which is not quite what I want."

The feminine man who called himself a blood mage looked Rosen up and down, like a slave owner looking at slaves in the market.

Finally, his eyes fell on Rosen's sword of annihilation: "Oh~ your sword is pretty good. So, you should be a demon hunter of the Church of the Eternal Sun?"

Rosen did not comment: "My identity is not important. What is important is that I hope you can remove the curse for my friend Gilles."

"Curse?"

Ackerman showed a trace of anger on his face: "You call the blessing of eternal life a curse?!"

Without waiting for Rosen to respond, he immediately restrained his anger and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, because God never blames the ignorant."

"Now, kneel down and accept the eternal blessing of Tslokavid."

Rosen put his hand on the sword of annihilation and shook his head slowly: "Master Ackerman, I insist, otherwise."

"Otherwise, will you draw your sword?"

Ackerman completely ignored Rosen's threat.

He smiled and said: "I can see that you have good strength and extraordinary courage. You should be the most powerful demon hunters in the church."

"But you made a mistake."

While speaking, Ackerman clapped his hands lightly, and the men and women in the yard walked into the hall one after another. There were 119 people in total, surrounding Rosen and Gilles in the middle.

Moreover, five men and women stood in front of Ackerman, acting as his guards.

"Even the most powerful demon hunter cannot fight against two blood guards at the same time, and I have far more than two blood guards here."

"You shouldn't come alone, but since you are here, you only have two choices."

"Either choose to accept the blessing or die."

Ackerman's voice was as feminine and calm as ever, as if he was the god who controlled fate.

The blood guards present also laughed softly, looking at Rosen's eyes, as if looking at a little mantis waving its sickle claws in front of the carriage.

Rosen looked at such a blood mage and smiled slightly: "It seems that we have to talk with swords."

He dared to come alone, and when he found that his opponent had more than a hundred people, he still dared to enter the yard alone.

Not because of arrogance, but because he was confident that he could destroy all the opponents.

Obviously, Ackerman also had the same confidence, and his confidence was even stronger than Rosen's.

He placed the scarlet jewel cane horizontally on his knees and leaned back, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"Warrior, please speak up. Let me see how loud your words can be."
