Master Tongtian

early morning.

Hound House.

Rosen and Charbolet were sitting across the table, chatting.

"Uncle, Master Veronica once wanted to accept me as her apprentice, but now my mentor is innocent, so I want to visit her and apologize to her, so as not to keep her waiting."

Charbolai took a sip of mead and nodded in agreement.

"Well~ Veronica has a noble status. Not only is she an official mid-level mage, but her father is also the lord of Yuehui Town in the north. It is really not good to let her go. I will take you to her house now."

After thinking about it, he said, "Don't go empty-handed. Bring some gifts as an apology."

"Um."

Taking into account Rosen's status as an apprentice in magic and limited financial resources, he brought a bottle of mid-range moonshine wine of ordinary vintage, costing 1 crown.

Veronica's residence is in the north of the city, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk from the Hound House.

Her economic situation is much better than that of Thrandis. She lives in a high-end stone villa. The large yard around the villa alone is more than ten times larger than Thrandis's cabin.

Unfortunately, Veronica is not at home.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a well-dressed middle-aged housekeeper explained with regret.

"Oh, what a coincidence. The lady went out in a carriage yesterday morning. She said she was going back to the country manor to stay for a few days and relax."

Rosen thought to himself: 'To be honest, I saw you in a clothing store in the north of the city this morning. ’

Since you want to get a reward, of course you have to do a good job in intelligence work. Spending a little money to buy the services of a few underground hounds and keeping an eye on a person's whereabouts from a distance is the most basic operation.

He kept a straight face and asked, "Did Ms. Veronica say when she would be back?"

"The lady said that we may stay for a week or more than half a month. The return date is uncertain, it depends on my mood."

Rosen looked regretful, thought for a moment, and asked, "Sir, can you let us into the house? I want to leave a letter of apology to Miss Veronica."

"Of course that's no problem."

The housekeeper opened the courtyard door and led the two people into the villa.

After entering the villa, Xia Bolai behaved quite decently, but Rosen seemed very curious, looking left and right all the way, and seemed to be very interested in the interior furnishings of the villa.

Soon we arrived at the study room.

The housekeeper found pen and paper.

Rosen sat directly on the big leather chair behind the desk and asked, "Does Ms. Veronica usually work in this study?"

This behavior is extremely inappropriate.

The housekeeper looked very displeased, but he still held back his anger: "Yes, the lady usually works here."

Rosen accepted it as soon as he could, lowered his head and concentrated on writing the letter.

He quickly finished writing the letter and handed the letter to the butler solemnly.

"Sir, please be sure to give this letter to Ms. Veronica as soon as possible. It must be delivered to her personally and quickly, otherwise something very serious will happen."

"Oh, I will." The butler was a little confused, but still agreed.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye to the housekeeper and left Veronica's villa.

When he stood at the door, Chabolai had already come to his senses.

"Rosen, I always feel that you are acting strange today. What are you thinking about?"

Rosen chuckled: "Is it weird? I've always been normal."

He just made a final confirmation. The result of the confirmation was that the fingerprints matched and the study chair was still warm, indicating that Veronica had just been in the villa study.

Xia Bolay scratched his head, feeling as if the clouds and mountains were shrouded in mist.

"Uncle, let's go. Why are you dazed?"

Rosen's voice came from the front, awakening Xia Bolai. He turned around and saw that Rosen had walked twenty or thirty meters away.

He quickly chased after me: "Hey~ why didn't you wait for me?"

After catching up, he asked again: "What are we doing? Are we going to find Oleks together?"

The wanted bounty of the Sheriff's Department was as high as 200 crowns, and Chapollet was also very excited.

With this money, he could spend another three months in the Rose House without any worries.

Rosen smiled and did not reveal the truth for the time being: "Yes, we are looking for Orek. We must catch him quickly and completely clear our mentor's name."

"Then where should we look? Do you have any idea?"

"some."

"Oh, that's good."

The two walked while talking and quickly turned down a street.

Rosen suddenly said: "Uncle, I will take you to a good place. As long as we hide there, we will be able to stop Olek in less than two hours!"

Xia Bolay was surprised and happy: "Oh, where is it? Take me there quickly!"

"follow me."

The two speeded up and walked for a while until they arrived at the bottom of a bell tower. The door was locked, but this naturally did not trouble the mage.

‘Click~’

The door lock was unlocked, and the two of them entered the bell tower, climbed all the way up, and soon reached the top of the bell tower.

Rosen sat down with his back against the guardrail, stretched out his hand to dig a larger slit in the wooden guardrail, and then took out a small mirror and installed it on the edge of the guardrail.

After it was done, he said: "Uncle, don't stand there, Orek will see it."

"Oh, yes, yes."

Chabolai hurriedly sat down and hid his body behind the guardrail.

Once here, Rosen planned to tell Shapollet the real situation.

The reason why Xia Bolai was brought along on this trip was to find a strong warrior to face the enemy head-on to reduce the risk of failure. The second reason is that because Xia Bolay is a member of the Omicia family, no one in Silver Moon Castle dares to hack his bounty.

Although the bounty will be reduced, the risk will be greatly reduced, so it is still very worth it.

Before taking action, it was natural to explain clearly to him.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw Xia Bolay stretching his body.

"Well, I'm exhausted these days. Let's take a nap first and call me if something happens."

"No, uncle, I have something else to say to you."

"Go, go, go. If you two grown men have anything to say, I'm going to sleep."

Xia Bolay lay down directly on the ground and started snoring regularly within half a minute.

I have to say, this guy's heart is really big, no wonder he has grown so fat.

Rosen had no choice but to keep staring in the mirror.

Time passed by minute by second, and half an hour later, a four-horse carriage came out of the backyard of the big villa and stopped at the front entrance of the villa.

After a while, a familiar figure hurriedly walked out of the villa and boarded the carriage.

The carriage started, and after leaving the compound, it drove quickly north.

Looking at that direction, he should be planning to leave Silver Moon Castle through the northern city gate.

Rosen chuckled to himself: "This girl can't help but be frightened. She panicked over just one letter."

He stared closely at the carriage and stretched out his hand to wake up Xia Bolay beside him.

"Have you really discovered Orek?" Xia Bolay looked surprised.

Rosen nodded and pointed to the carriage speeding on the road below: "It's in the car."

Seeing the carriage go away quickly, Rosen immediately said: "Uncle, let's chase it now."

Seeing Xia Bolay's dazed look, he urged in a louder voice.

"Uncle, hurry up, or Olek will run away!"

"Okay, okay, let's chase him right away."

"Chase behind my back. I can't run fast."

"Hmm~ You think I'm a horse, really~"

Although he complained like this, Chabolai still carried Rosen on his back, jumped down from the bell tower, and then chased after the carriage and ran all the way.

There were many pedestrians on the streets in the city, so the carriage couldn't move fast at all, so Chabolai caught up with him easily.

Rosen reminded hurriedly: "Don't chase him too closely, so as not to alarm him. The terrain in the city is complicated, and this guy will fly away as soon as you make a move. Let's stop him after we get out of the city!"

The main reason is that it is easy to hurt innocent people in the city. It would be too tragic to get the bounty after all the hard work and use it as compensation.

"okay."

Chabolai slowed down slightly, using pedestrians and buildings as cover, hanging far behind the carriage.

Soon, both sides exited the North City Gate one after another.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning, the sun was hanging in the sky, the sky was clear, and the weather was very bright.

Even on the roads outside the city, there are many pedestrians.

Looking at the carriage again, it was running and suddenly turned right into a path overgrown with weeds. Now there were fewer people on the road.

After running for a while, we arrived at a wasteland, and there were no pedestrians on the road.

"Uncle, hurry up, speed up, don't let him run away!"

"I'm running, I'm running~ Huhu~ Rosen, you've been sinking a lot lately."

Chabolai increased his speed and started running wildly.

Taking advantage of this time, Rosen took out the pure sun essence and drank it in one gulp.

When the medicine enters the mouth, it tastes sweet and sticky, with a slightly milky aroma, similar to a honey milkshake, and it tastes quite good.

As soon as the medicine entered his stomach, he felt a heat rising from his stomach.

After a moment, Rosen clearly felt that inside the cosmic ball existing in the sea of ​​consciousness, there was a sudden flash of extremely violent golden light, as if a cosmic-level supernova had exploded.

The ‘new star’ has always existed and been releasing power. Its power instantly expanded in all directions, with the tendency to sweep across the entire starry sky and break through the cosmic ball.

But the 'universe' is bounded and boundless, and is a closed space-time cycle. So, when this light filled the entire 'universe', it was tightly bound within it.

Of course, this is not the real universe, and the space-time ring is only a product of visualization, so a very small amount of power still overflows.

Only strands of golden light were seen breaking through the cosmic ball, and then slowly passed through a transparent film wrapped on the outer layer of the ball, and then completely escaped.

In visualization, the cosmic ball is the source of Rosen's power, and the outer 'membrane' is the embodiment of the cosmic godhead.

In the new visualization model, the power of the universe is absorbed by Rosen through the Godhead.

At this moment, this 'supernova' is also within the universe, that is, the power of the universe, and it can be absorbed and managed by the Godhead.

Sure enough, in the next moment, two streams of information flashed through Rosen's mind.

The first stream of information comes from the godhead of the ‘Lord of the Universe’.

‘Discovering strange powers, trying to manage them and failing. Attempt to record. Record failed, second attempt to record record failed third attempt.’

Rosen sighed secretly and put away his delusional thoughts.

"The power level is too high, far beyond the limit of my ability. I am too ambitious."

The second information flow.

‘The total mana amount is increased by 2100%, and the mana intensity is increased by 20%. This effect will last stably for 7200 seconds, and will gradually decrease after 7200 seconds until it returns to normal. ’

Rosen was startled by the sudden increase in power, and he also clearly felt that his body was filled with incomparable surging mana, with an almost unfathomable feeling.

‘It is indeed an extraordinary potion, the effect is truly earth-shattering! ’

I was a little worried about facing the Apostle of Neverwinter, but now I felt much at ease.

the other side.

The two of them were less than 200 meters behind the carriage, but as they ran wildly, the distance quickly closed.

Less than three minutes later, Chabolai and Rosen took a shortcut and blocked the carriage.

After putting down Rosen, he immediately pulled out the demon-slaying sword, and the blade shone with silver light.

"If you don't want to die, just stop!"

The coachman was startled and immediately stopped the carriage.

Chabolai smiled coldly at the carriage: "Olek, stop hiding, come out!"

‘Click~’

The carriage door was pushed open, and a tall and graceful figure slowly stepped out of the carriage.

She wears a blood-colored vine crown, a black and red war skirt, and holds a dark red staff, which looks particularly eye-catching in the golden sunlight.

"I originally wanted you to live for ten more days and a half, but I didn't expect you to be so eager to die. That's fine, I'll help you."

At this moment, the woman seemed like a king patrolling her territory.
