Early morning.

The House of the Hounds.

Rosen and Shabolai sat across from each other, chatting.

"Uncle, Master Veronica once wanted to take me as an apprentice, and now my mentor is innocent, so I want to visit her and apologize to her, so as not to make her wait."

Shapole took a sip of honey wine and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm~ Veronica has a noble status, not only is she an official mid-level mage, but her father is also the lord of Moonlight Town in the north. It's really bad to release her pigeons. I'll take you to her house right now. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Don't go empty-handed, bring some gifts, it's an apology." ”

"Hmm."

Considering Rosen's status as an apprentice in sorcery and limited financial strength, he brought a bottle of mid-range moonshine of ordinary vintage for 1 crown.

Veronica's home is north of the city, about a twenty-minute hike from the Hound House.

Her economic conditions were much better than those of Thrandis, and she lived in a high-end stone villa, and the large courtyard around the villa alone was more than ten times larger than the Thrandis cottage.

Unfortunately, Veronica wasn't at home.

At the gate of the courtyard, the well-dressed middle-aged housekeeper explained with a regretful face.

"Oops, that's not a coincidence. The young lady went out in a carriage yesterday morning, saying that she was going back to the country manor for a few days to relax. ”

Rosen secretly said in his heart: "Loose ass, I saw you in the morning at the Chengbei ready-to-wear store." ’

Since you want to get a bounty, of course, you must do a good job in intelligence work, spend a little money to buy the services of a few underground hounds, and keep an eye on a person's whereabouts from afar, which is the most basic operation.

He remained silent and asked, "Did Lady Veronica say when she would be back?" ”

"Miss said that she may stay for a week, or she may live for more than half a month, and the return date is uncertain, depending on the mood."

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

"Of course it's fine."

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

After entering the villa, Shabolai behaved decently, but Lawson seemed very curious, looking left and right all the way, and seemed very interested in the interior furnishings of the villa.

Soon arrived at the study.

The butler brought pen and paper.

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

This is already very inappropriate.

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

Lawson accepted it when he saw it, bowed his head and concentrated on writing the letter.

Soon the letter was written, and he solemnly handed the letter to the butler.

"Sir, please give this letter to Lady Veronica as soon as possible, and deliver it to her personally, and quickly, otherwise something very serious will happen."

"Oh, I will." The housekeeper was a little unsure, but he still responded.

The two then bid farewell to the butler and left Veronica's villa.

Standing in the doorway, Shabolai had already reacted a little.

"Rosen, I always think you're acting weird today, what the hell are you thinking?"

Rosen smiled: "Is it strange? I've always been normal. ”

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

Xia Bolai scratched his head, and there was a feeling of clouds and fog.

"Uncle, let's go, why are you in a daze?"

Rosen's voice came from the front, which woke Shabole, and when he turned his head, he saw that Rosen had already walked twenty or thirty meters.

He hurriedly chased after him: "Hey~ Why don't you wait for me." ”

After catching up, he asked again, "What are we doing?" Let's go to Olek? ”

The Sheriff's wanted bounty is as high as 200 crowns, and Chabolai is also very excited.

With this money, he can spend another three months in the House of Roses without worry.

Rosen smiled, and didn't reveal the truth for the time being: "Yes, it's to find Olek, you have to catch him quickly and completely help the mentor clear his name." ”

"So where do I go to find it? Do you have a clue? ”

"Yes."

"Oh, that's good."

The two walked as they spoke, and soon turned a street.

Rosen suddenly said: "Uncle, I'll take you to a good place, as long as we hide there, within two hours, we are guaranteed to be able to block Olek!" ”

Shabolai was surprised and delighted: "Oh, where is it, take me quickly!" ”

"Follow me."

The two of them quickened their speed and walked for a while, until they reached the bottom of a bell tower, the door of which was locked, but this naturally did not bother the mage.

'Click~'

The lock of the door opened, and the two of them touched the bell tower, climbed all the way up, and soon reached the top of the bell tower.

Lawson sat down with his back against the railing, reached out and dug up the crack in the railing, and then took out a small mirror and attached it to the side of the railing.

When he was done, he said, "Uncle, don't stand still, you'll be seen by Olek." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes."

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

At this point, Rosen plans to tell Chapole the truth.

The reason why I brought Shabolai on this trip was to find a strong samurai to face the enemy head-on to reduce the risk of defeat. The second is because Shabol is a member of the Omixia family, and no one in Silvermoon Castle dares to hack his bounty.

Although the bounty will be smaller, the risk will also be greatly reduced, so it is still well worth it.

Before you start, you naturally have to explain it to him clearly.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw Shapole stretching out.

"Well, I'm tired these days, get some sleep first, and then call me if there's a situation."

"Don't, uncle, I have something to say to you."

"Go, go, two big men have something to say, I'm going to sleep."

Shabolai lay directly on the ground, and within half a minute, he let out a regular snoring sound.

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

Lawson couldn't but keep staring in the mirror.

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

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

The carriage started, and after leaving the compound, it drove all the way north at a fast pace.

Looking in that direction, it should be that you plan to leave Silvermoon Fort through the north gate.

Lawson smiled secretly: "This girl can't help but be scared, and she panics when she writes a letter."

He stared at the carriage and reached out to wake up Shapole beside him.

"Did you really find Olek?" Shabolai looked surprised.

Lawson nodded, pointing to the galloping carriage on the road below, "It's in the car." ”

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

Seeing Xia Bolai's confused appearance, he raised his voice to urge.

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

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

"Chase me behind your back. I can't run fast. ”

"Hmm~You treat me as a horse, really~"

Despite this complaint, Chapelé picked up Lawson on his back, jumped directly from the bell tower, and then chased after the carriage, running wildly all the way.

There were also many pedestrians on the streets of the city, and the carriage could not run fast at all, so Chabolai easily chased after it.

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

The main reason is that it is easy to hurt innocents in the city, and when the time comes, it will be too tragic to get the bounty and take it all as compensation.

"Okay."

Shabolay slowed down slightly, and hung far behind the carriage under the cover of pedestrians and buildings.

Soon, the two sides went out of the north gate one after the other.

It was 10 a.m., 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 a lot of pedestrians.

Look at the carriage again, running and running, suddenly turned right into an overgrown path, and now there were fewer people on the road.

After running for a while, we came to a wasteland, and the road was completely devoid of pedestrians.

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

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

Shabol increased his speed and began to run wildly.

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

The medicine is in the mouth, the taste is sweet and sticky, and there is some milky aroma, similar to a honey milkshake, which is quite delicious.

When the medicine entered the stomach, I felt a hot current rise from the stomach.

After continuing for a moment, Rosen clearly felt that inside the cosmic sphere existing in the sea of consciousness, an extremely violent golden light suddenly flashed, as if a cosmic-level supernova had exploded.

The 'new star' has always existed and has been releasing its power, and its power has instantly expanded in all directions, with a tendency to sweep the entire starry sky and break through the cosmic sphere.

But the 'universe' is bounded and boundless, a closed cycle of time and space. So, when this light fills the whole 'universe', it is tightly bound.

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

I saw that the wisps of golden light broke through the cosmic sphere, and slowly passed through a transparent film wrapped in the outer layer of the sphere, and then completely escaped.

In the visualization, the cosmic sphere is the source of Lawson's power, and the outer 'membrane' is the embodiment of the cosmic godhead

In the new visual model, the power of the universe is absorbed by Lawson through the Godhead.

And at this moment, this 'supernova' is also within the universe, that is, the cosmic power, which can also be absorbed and managed by the Godhead.

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

The first stream of information comes from the Godhead of the 'Lord of the Universe'.

'Discover strange powers and try to manage them...... Management failed. Attempting to record ...... Logging failed, second attempt to record...... Logging failed...... Third attempt......'

Rosen sighed secretly and put away the delusions in his heart.

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

The second stream of information.

'Increases total mana by 2100% and mana power by 20%, the effect will last steadily for 7200 seconds, and gradually decrease after 7200 seconds until it returns to normal. ’

The sudden increase in strength startled Lawson, and he clearly felt that his body was filled with surging mana, almost an unfathomable feeling.

'It's an extraordinary potion, it's an earth-shattering effect!' ’

Originally, I was a little apprehensive because of facing the Winterless Apostle, but now I was greatly settled.

The other side.

The two of them were less than 200 meters behind the carriage, and the distance quickly narrowed under the wild run.

Less than 3 minutes later, Chabolai took Rosen, took a shortcut, and was blocked in front of the carriage.

After letting go of Lawson, he immediately pulled out the Demon Slaying Battle Knife, and the blade of the blade flashed with silver light.

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

The coachman was startled and immediately pulled the carriage to a halt.

Shabol smiled coldly at the carriage: "Olek, don't hide, come out!" ”

'Click~'

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

She wore a blood-colored vine crown, a black and red battle dress, and a dark red staff, which stood out in the golden sunlight.

"I wanted you to live for ten more days and half a month, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious to die. Well, I will fulfill you. ”

At this moment, the woman seems to be the king of the territory.
