Start with Island Lord

‘Wow~~Wow~~’

There was a sound like waves in my ears, and a white light flashed in front of my eyes.

When all the movement disappeared and the white light gradually dissipated, Rosen found himself standing in a spacious, bright, and sophisticated room.

Although the room should not be described as 'precise', the size of the surrounding walls, the spell patterns on the walls, the teleportation array on the floor, and even the two owl sculptures placed at the exit of the room are all filled with a sense of sophistication. magic industrial style.

Rosen secretly sighed: "It is indeed a highly developed and high-energy empire."

Rupert's memory told him that this was the teleportation room of Maple Leaf Manor, located in the northwest corner of the manor's atrium garden.

Maple Leaf Manor is the residence of Eternal Earl Gunterkin, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 acres. At the same time, the average living area of ​​Moon City civilians is 20 square meters.

Walking out of the teleportation room, there is another long corridor, with a row of eternal guardians standing on both sides of the corridor, numbering twenty.

Among them, the Eternal Guardian closest to the door of the teleportation room made a gentle and rich voice.

"Welcome back, Citizen First Class Rupert."

Rosen nodded in response, and then used the hands of the mage to take off his clothes: "I'm ready, let's start purifying the body."

The so-called purification of the body means deep cleaning of the body, which not only kills viruses and bacteria brought back from the mortal world, but also removes high-energy radiation dust contaminated in every corner of the body. At the same time, it also further confirms the identity.

"Starting to purify~~~"

‘Buzz~~~Buzz~~~’

Waves of warm magical power surged toward Rosen, wrapping his body gently.

Rosen walked slowly along the corridor.

When he reached the end of the corridor, a set of exquisite black robes floated next to him. They were made of an alchemical material as soft as water and had an elegant fragrance.

After the robe wrapped around his body, Rosen stepped out of the corridor.

Outside the corridor is a huge open-air garden, which is full of life and planted with many beautiful flowers that Rosen can't name.

The flowers are also arranged neatly and sway with the breeze, looking like rows of dancing girls in neat rows.

Rosen looked up and found that it was a clear blue night sky, and he could see a bright silver moon.

Without looking carefully, or looking at it from a mortal perspective, this is a beautiful world.

But Rosen could spot it if he concentrated for a moment.

‘The entire Moon City is in the shape of a ring and is slowly rotating. The inner wall of the ring is the main city area. It uses axially symmetrical rotation to create the gravity of the earth, and uses sophisticated space-time magic to eliminate the unbalanced inertial force of physical rotation. ’

‘The moon and stars in the sky, including the sun that will rise tomorrow, are all the result of magic simulation. ’

With the Eternal Empire's space-time magic ability, it is certainly not difficult to create a demiplane, but it still uses this relatively primitive space city structure, probably to save energy.

No matter what, this moon city is very beautiful, countless times more beautiful than the earth full of ruins, monsters, corpses and excrement.

Rupert is a retainer of the Earl of Gunterkin and has his own residence at Maple Leaf Manor.

It was already late at night, and Rosen walked along the garden path toward his room, while thinking silently in his heart.

‘Juliet, I have successfully returned to Moon City. I will upload my work report in an hour. ’

"The information has been reported, your room has been activated and adjusted to rest mode."

Soon, Rosen arrived at his room. He raised his hand and pressed the corresponding rune on the door. The door lit up slightly and slid open silently, revealing a room filled with warm white light. Room.

The room is quite spacious, with an area of ​​100 square meters, and the various supporting facilities are also of the highest quality. It is a treatment that Rupert, a common man, only received after years of hard work.

When Rosen entered the room, the door behind him slid shut silently, and the soothing music of "ding ding dong dong" began to sound in the air. The temperature, humidity, and light brightness of the air were all adjusted to Rupert's favorite mode.

When he took three steps forward and walked out of the entrance hall of the room, a young and beautiful woman wearing a very revealing maid uniform came up to him. She saluted respectfully and said in a charming voice:

"Welcome back, Master."

Rosen could tell at a glance that this was a big living person.

At the same time, Rupert's memory told him that although this was a living person, he was a so-called 'higher servant' created by using life spells to create a body and implanting a virtual soul.

In Moon City, there are three types of 'servants': high, medium and low. The common denominator is that they have no citizenship rights and are ancillary property of the master. Everything is centered on the master.

When the master is away, the servant will be shrouded in a high-intensity time lag spell, which not only minimizes the use loss, but also ensures that the servant's life memory is only the master.

According to imperial law, first-class citizens can have five high-level servants, but the price of ordering and maintaining high-level servants is very expensive.

In order to reduce the cost of living, Rupert only had two high-level servants.

One is for personal use and the other is for entertaining guests.

The beauty who came to meet him was Rupert's own high-level servant named 'Trini', whose appearance and figure were all 'pinched' by Rupert with great effort.

Rosen took a look and commented secretly: ‘Rupert really likes young-toothed lolita. ’

It's no wonder that he would torment Guinnaville's daughter in the mortal world.

Rosen, however, had no interest in it, thinking that he was too thin and too young, and had no charm and could not stand the tossing.

Of course, in order to prevent Juliet from discovering the abnormality, he imitated Rupert in all his actions.

About five minutes later, he was already lying in a bathtub filled with warm water and began to upload the work report in the mortal world.

In the report, the first half was about Rupert's experience. It was not until Rupert was imprisoned that Rosen began to compile it, changing the torture and killing into a clever jailbreak that took a lot of effort.

He was basically not worried about being discovered by Juliet, because he had already filled in the relevant details when he was in the Gray City.

The upload was completed soon, and this report would be sent to Earl Gauntkin, waiting for his reading.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Earl should summon him tomorrow.

"Master, do you need me to help you relax your body?" The servant Trini asked in a delicate voice behind him.

Rosen was not interested in the little girl, and still responded in Rupert's style: "Leave me alone for a while, go and warm my bed."

"Yes, master." I thought I would spend the night safely, but after a while, the doorbell rang.

After getting Rosen's permission, a young woman's voice came from outside the door: "Rupert, why didn't you notify me as soon as you came back?!"

The voice was angry, containing a sense of arrogance.

Rosen immediately searched Rupert's memory and quickly found out his identity.

"Patricia, the third daughter of Earl Gauntkin, an eternal noble, and the lover of Alex, the last Earl's envoy."

"After Alex was killed, Patricia was furious and threatened to make Gray City pay a heavy price."

In Moon City, the eternal noble is the highest status existence, so she has reason to be arrogant.

Rupert was a retainer of the Earl, so he certainly couldn't afford to offend the Earl's daughter. He immediately responded, "Miss Patricia, wait for me. I'll open the door after I get dressed."

"Hurry up!"

An impatient response came from outside the door.

Rosen quickly got up from the bathtub, put on his clothes in a hurry, and opened the door to welcome the person into the living room.

The visitor was a young lady, about 1.7 meters tall, very beautiful, with a very good figure and white skin. Of course, beautiful traits are not valuable in Moon City, because they are everywhere.

In Moon City, as long as you are a citizen, you can enjoy the appearance customization spell provided by Juliet for free.

Ordinary citizens can enjoy it once every three years, nobles can enjoy it once a month, or even once every ten days.

Juliet's deformation technique is very superb, and she also provides many body templates, so it's hard not to be beautiful.

The countess looked very arrogant. After entering the room, she sat down on the most spacious and softest chair in the living room without any courtesy, as if she was back home: "Rupert, I heard that you are dead."

Rosen immediately said: "It is true that you almost died in the hands of the rebels, but you escaped by luck."

"I am curious, how did you escape? I saw you hanged on the gallows by those mobs."

Rosen knew that as long as the authority was sufficient, Moon City could see many scenes in the mortal world, especially the open-air scenes, which were particularly clear.

As the daughter of the count, Patricia naturally had this authority.

So he immediately explained: "I used the soul substitute method to forge a hapless jailer into my perfect substitute. You know, the eyes of those mobs are very difficult to use."

"Hehe~ You are smart."

Patricia's tone eased a little, and then asked: "Have you found out the cause of Alex's death?"

"I have found it out, miss, do you want to listen now?"

"Go ahead."

Patricia's eyes were slightly red, and her tone was sad, obviously still remembering the old love.

Rosen told her everything that happened in the mortal world.

After he finished speaking, he concluded: "I don't want to slander the deceased, but Alex's performance is obviously very bad."

Patricia collapsed a little and shouted: "You lied! I don't believe it! He clearly said that he only loves me!"

Rosen spread his hands: "Miss, you already believe it, but you just don't want to believe it. But I want to say that he is not worth your sadness for him."

Patricia took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down.

"Rupert, thank you for telling me the truth anyway."

"Although the truth is a bit stinging, after all, you risked your life to find it, so I owe you a favor."

"Tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"

Rosen was not surprised by this reaction, because in Rupert's memory, although the third daughter of the earl, Patricia, was arrogant, she was a person who dared to love, hate and take responsibility compared to most noble ladies.

He came here to investigate Juliet. Since Patricia said so, he immediately said:

"Miss, I feel deeply that the power of magic is insufficient when I enter the mortal world this time."

"If possible, I hope to get some free reading time in the big library."

This reaction is also in line with Rupert's character.

In Moon City, although the treatment is different, everyone has no worries about food and drink, and because the class is basically fixed, most of the citizens of Moon City lie down and live a life of drunkenness and dreaming all day long.

But Rupert, as a commoner, obtained 18 rings of magic power and was promoted from a ninth-class citizen to a first-class citizen, not only because of his great talent, but also because of his diligence that far surpassed others.

In the past, whenever he received a reward from the earl, he would find a way to exchange it for reading time in the Great Library.

Therefore, Patricia was not surprised: "No problem, in the next year, you can enter the big library to study at will."

After saying this, she said with emotion: "I have to say, these days, it is really rare to find a diligent and studious mage like you."

"Although this is not of much use, a down-to-earth mage like you is at least more reliable than those guys who only talk sweet words."

She stood up and patted Rosen's shoulder gently: "I hope you can always maintain the virtue of diligence."

After saying that, she sighed sadly, turned and left.

Rosen could understand her last few words, because the Abyss War destroyed a lot of precious magic knowledge.

No matter how diligent and studious a mage is, he cannot break through the threshold of 20th level, and even 19th level is very rare.

In fact, 300 years have passed since the end of the war, and no new strongman above the 19th ring has appeared in Moon City.

It is precisely because of this that Rupert, who was promoted to the 18th ring, won the favor of the Eternal Earl and became his confidant.

This made Rosen's heart move slightly:

‘Rupert is an 18th-level mage. If I ‘break through’ to the 19th level on the grounds that I gained insights from wandering around life and death, I should be able to greatly improve my status and gain more authority. ’

The most important thing in Moon City is actually Juliet's authority.
