Chapter 145 Mechanical Mount and Demon Blood   Chapter 144

  Chapter 144

  "These words appear to be written in blood?"

  Rosen frowned as he looked at the dense red characters on the mechanical mount and said,

  "Don't tell me you know me, don't look for me, wait until you become a demigod to save me. There is a coordinate of a spiritual realm inside the mechanical mount. This is the most sincere reward I can offer. Finally, I remind you not to use this mechanical mount in the Dungeon Kingdom."

  After reading these small words, Rosen immediately realized that something was really wrong with Faris.

  Having successfully refined a Sequence 3 mechanical mount, Faris has become a Sequence 4 mechanical inventor.

  Such an identity is no less inferior to that of demigods of other sequences.

  However, Faris had obviously been captured, and it would certainly not be easy to send this mechanical mount over.

  Rosen knows his own limitations and that his relationship with Faris is not that good.

  Judging from Faris's final reminder, the people who captured him must have known about the existence of this mechanical mount.

  So there is a possibility that the person knew that Faris was going to send out a Sequence 3 mechanical mount.

  But I don't know who it was given to, so as long as he doesn't use it in the Dungeon Kingdom, there will be no danger.

  As for why the person who captured Faris let him send away the mechanical mount, it was most likely because he and Faris signed a contract under the witness of the Contract Spirit God. If he violated the contract, Faris would be wiped out by the Contract Spirit God.

  The person who captured Faris wanted Faris alive, and a dead Faris would lose the greatest value.

  That was why Faris had the opportunity to send away the mechanical mount and secretly leave these words.

  Faris did not let him pass on a distress message to the official Dungeon Kingdom, which meant that the person who captured Faris was likely affiliated with the Dungeon Kingdom. The only person he could think of who could do this silently in the Adventure King City was the king.

  Rosen sighed, from the Red Shadow Principality to the Blue Whale Kingdom, and then to the Dungeon Kingdom.

  None of the rulers of these countries are good people.

  This may not be a coincidence, but a norm.

  Rosen met many more Sequence 6 nobles at the ball, and he clearly discovered something.

  Many nobles are very dissatisfied with the World Government.

  Because nobles have to go to the front lines when they reach a certain age, and the casualty rate is quite high, not every noble is willing to die on the front lines for the sake of human civilization. The vast majority of nobles are forced to leave their families and go to the front lines.

  While the World Government has grown stronger over the past 20,000 years, it seems to be gradually becoming less stable internally.

  Rosen quickly recognized the mechanical mount as his master. For a sequence 3 mechanical mount, he could only activate the properties of sequence 7.

  [Source Material Quetzalcoatl Mechanical Mount: Extraordinary Item]

  [Level: Sequence 7 (Sequence 3)]

  [Attributes: Possesses three types of transformations: Quetzalcoatl Chariot, Quetzalcoatl Warship, and Quetzalcoatl Fighter]

  [Source Quality Feature 1: Riding - Can perfectly control all mounts, and can stack attributes with mounts]

  [Source Quality Attribute 2: Holy Charge - Can instantly increase the maximum speed by three (six) times]

  [Source Quality Attribute 3: Pious Aura - Increases the defense of the team within the aura's range by three (six) times]

  [Source Characteristic 4: Holy Shield - Deploy a holy shield that ignores all damage below that of a demigod]

  [Source Characteristic 5: Holy Judgment - The Paladin's next damage is increased by three (six) times]

  [Source Characteristic 6: Resurrection - The Paladin can revive a life form that has been dead for no more than three minutes]

  [Divine Characteristics: Spiritual Stealth - Mechanical mounts can transform into spirits and freely travel between the spiritual and material worlds]

  After reading the properties, Rosen immediately realized that he owed Faris a big favor.

  When creating this mechanical mount, he actually fused it with the extraordinary essence of a Sequence 4 Paladin.

  Then, it retains a full six Paladin skills, including riding, the most core ability of the knight sequence, and resurrection, an extremely rare skill that many Paladins cannot master.

  Now when he rides on this mechanical mount, he can disguise himself as a knight.

  Rosen tried it out in the Divine Realm and found that there were four different forms of mechanical mounts.

  The initial form is a bionic Quetzalcoatl made of metal, which is most suitable for riding and air combat.

  Then the chariot form is suitable for traveling on land, the fighter plane form is suitable for traveling in the air, and the warship form is suitable for traveling in the deep sea. The three subsidiary forms cover all land, sea and air, and you can solve the problems of going into the sky and into the sea by yourself in the future.

  After successfully mastering the mechanical mount, Rosen also obtained the coordinates and detailed information of Faris's hidden spiritual realm.

  He was not planning to go there for the time being, and it would be a bit suspicious for him to go out again just after coming back.

  So he decided to play it safe and study the time trap making technology at hand.

  If a normal hunter wants to master this skill, he must first have a very deep understanding of the power of time.

  Fortunately, Rosen is also a painter, and painting spiritual realms requires incorporating a lot of spiritual crystallization of time into it.

  So through painting spiritual paintings, he has gained a deep understanding of time.

  Coupled with the repeated time cycles in the Time Cycle Spirit Realm, he is not completely ignorant of the power of time.

  Therefore, with the help of his extensive knowledge and cultural theocracy, Rosen mastered the art of making time traps in just half a year.

  Although it is only LV1, it will be much easier to improve once you get started.

  Because the skill of Glory Sage can convert the mastered time-related knowledge into the proficiency of the corresponding skills.

  Rosen tried to use the Source Hunting Belt to enhance the skill level of this skill. As a result, this source equipment, which could enhance the hunter's other skills in the past, was unable to increase the skill level of Time Trap Creation.

  This also indirectly shows that the power of this skill is beyond common sense.

  After successfully mastering the trap runes for time trap creation, the next step is to copy time-related skills.

  However, time-based skills usually appear in high sequences, and high-sequence time skills cannot be copied by LV1 trap runes at all.

  Rosen could only offer a high reward to find that low-sequence time skill.

  He originally considered whether to post a bounty using the identity of hunter Lynn Wells.

  However, considering that he bought the time trap manufacturing technique at the Noble Trade Fair with the identity of Rosen, a noble.

  Suddenly changing the bounty to that of a hunter makes it seem like he's trying to cover up his guilt.

  As for why a noble painter would offer a reward for hunter skills, this is actually easy to understand.

  The Quetzalcoatl mechanical mount made by Faris can allow him to master some of the skills of the Paladin sequence.

  Many high-sequence painters will try to obtain extraordinary items with trap hunter sequence skills, and then use the trap hunter's traps to turn their own void galleries into iron barrels.

  Therefore, it is not particularly uncommon for painters to master a few hunter skills after Sequence 6.

  Rosen was lucky. He received good news only half a month after offering the reward.

  There is a kind of Time Rainbow Flower in the underground world. It is a parasitic plant. It can give birth to a Time Rainbow Butterfly when it parasitizes on the head of a Rainbow Butterfly. This special butterfly can master a time skill called Time Dust.

  Time dust attached to the target can slow down time, and time dust burning can speed up time.

  The Time-Sequence Rainbow Butterfly is extremely rare, but there is a Sequence 7 gourmet named Delia who has mastered the transformation ability of the Time-Sequence Rainbow Butterfly.

  After much effort and twists and turns, Rosen finally found the address of the gourmet Delia.

  The place where Delia lived was unexpectedly ordinary. After all, she was a Sequence 7 noble, but she actually lived in an affiliated spiritual realm in the Adventure King City that was specially used to accommodate ordinary people, and she also rented a room in the local snack street.

  When Rosen found this person, she was looking for food in the snack street like a hamster.

  This world does not have technology and hard work. The taste difference between food is often proportional to the price.

  Of course, there are a very small number of ingredients that are produced in large quantities, are cheap, and taste good, but these ingredients are rare. They are very cheap for extraordinary people, but they are not luxury items that ordinary people can casually consume in snack streets.

  What's more important is that ordinary ingredients have no spirituality, and human beings' extraordinary staple food is spiritual ingredients.

  The gourmet sequence has a persistent obsession with food. It stands to reason that it is impossible for them to eat the food in the snack street that has no spirituality.

  Could it be that I've eaten too much good food, so I came here to change my taste?

  Rosen soon understood why. This gourmet named Delia was definitely the person with the biggest appetite he had ever seen. She ate more than ten tons of food from the street to the street corner. She probably ate herself to bankruptcy.

  Delia's mouth stretched out like rubber to the size of a wheel, and she stuffed a roasted pig into her mouth in one bite.

  Both the stall owners and diners in the snack street seemed to have gotten used to Delia's presence.

  Not only are people not surprised by her eating habits, but the snack vendors also prepare huge portions of snacks for her.

  Eating should be a happy thing, especially for foodies.

  But this Delia seems to have no happiness, only numbness.

  She was forcing herself to eat these soulless foods, and eating was already a torture for her.

  Delia swallowed the last of her food and turned toward Rosen, studying him.

  "You followed me half a block. Are you the noble who offered a bounty for the Time Sequence Rainbow Butterfly?"

  Delia asked directly.

  "Yes, nice to meet you."

  Rosen nodded.

  "What do you need me to do with the time skill of the Chrono Rainbow Butterfly?"

  Delia continued to ask.

  "Help me to imprint your time skills with the Trap Rune."

  Rosen explained his purpose.

  "100,000 spiritual crystals."

  Delia thought about stating her terms.

  Rosen was slightly stunned and a little surprised. This was not too expensive but too cheap.

  As the saying goes, things are valuable because they are rare. Even if she offered a million, he would have no better choice.

  However, she only wanted 100,000, which was a bit weird.

  He is able to master the art of creating time traps. Anyone with a little common sense will know that he has a complicated origin and is wealthy.

  This Delia's living conditions were very bad among the extraordinary group, so why didn't she take the opportunity to make a fortune?

  Although he had doubts, Rosen couldn't find a better choice.

  The two parties agreed on a time, and Rosen went directly to Delia's house the next afternoon.

  Delia unfolded the Gourmet Sequence's Void Kitchen, a building somewhat similar to the Void Gallery.

  It just doesn't have the Void Gallery's integrated offensive and defensive capabilities, so the production cost is ten times different.

  At this time, inside the void kitchen, Delia had already prepared a mountain of spiritual delicacies.

  Delia transformed into a time-series rainbow butterfly without saying a word, and Rosen also condensed trap runes and began to copy skills.

  The time dust fell onto the trap rune and soon failed to be copied.  

  After dozens of rubbings, Delia ended her transformation, grabbed the spiritual food next to her and began to swallow it frantically.

  When the spiritual energy consumed by food is restored, Delia turns into a time-series rainbow butterfly again.

  Rosen was thinking about Delia's eating habits thoughtfully, and his mind was not on the rubbing skills.

  Delia's spiritual strength was at most 26 points. Logically, she only needed to eat less than one-tenth of the spiritual food to restore her lost spiritual strength. However, she ate ten times the amount, which meant that a lot of spiritual strength could not be effectively absorbed.

  The feeling Delia gave him when she ate was somewhat like she had mastered the ability to eat uncontrollably.

  A few days later, Rosen successfully copied the skill of Time Dust.

  Rosen tried trap fusion as soon as possible, fusing the time trap and space trap together.

  Originally, space transfer required about one second of transfer time.

  Now that there is time dust in the trap, the time for space transfer has been shortened from one second to one tenth of a second.

  This is equivalent to increasing the speed of space transfer tenfold. The prey that could originally escape after falling into the trap now finds it tenfold more difficult to escape. This is why the time trap manufacturing technique is worth 30 million spiritual crystals.

  After finishing his business, Rosen looked at Delia and asked the question he had been holding back for a few days.

  "Do you have the ability to binge eat?"

  Rosen asked.

  Delia's normal expression changed in an instant, and her eyes revealed undisguised fear and murderous intent.

  A kitchen knife instantly appeared in his hand, and the blade cut towards Rosen's throat.

  They say curiosity kills the cat, but Rosen hasn't regretted it yet.

  The nightmare slime may come from the dungeon kingdom, and may even be related to the sealed demon.

  He found a clue from Delia, and he felt uneasy until he figured it out.

  But I didn't expect that Delia would kill him directly.

  Delia leaned against the kitchen counter, breathing deeply, and the kitchen knife in her hand that chopped off Rosen's head was shaking slightly.

  Rosen's face still showed the confusion and fear he had before his death.

  Delia realized that she might have killed the wrong person, and that Rosen might have known about Gluttony through other means.

  But she didn't dare to gamble. She didn't want to die. She just wanted to do everything she could to survive.

  Accepting Rosen's reward this time was a decision made after enduring to the limit of impulse.

  Now she definitely couldn't stay in the Adventure Kingdom City, so she could only gamble on whether she could sneak into other kingdoms according to the original plan.

  Delia threw Rosen's body into the cold storage of the Void Kitchen and began to pack her luggage to leave the Dungeon Kingdom.

  However, the moment she opened the door and left home, Delia instantly appeared in a cell.

  Through the cell bars, Delia saw Rosen outside, who should have died at her hands not long ago.

  Delia's knife is very fast, and it also has a powerful killing effect.

  However, Rosen's mental projection was faster, and he directly pulled Delia's spirituality into the spiritual canvas.

  Delia transformed into a time-series rainbow butterfly for a long time, and her spiritual power was almost depleted due to the use of time dust.

  Only then was Rosen able to seize the opportunity and easily pull Delia's spirit into the painting prison through the characteristics of the heart prison.

  As for the cell in front of him, it was the prison of the Alchemy Castle.

  With Delia's spirit sealed in the Heart Prison, this ordinary cell was more than enough to trap her.

  "Show me where your gluttony comes from."

  Rosen activated the Mind Canvas, pulling part of Delia's spirituality into a painting.

  This is an abstract painting from Sequence 7, and the name of the painting is Memories.

  This painting has a very strong hypnotic effect, which can make people who see it fall into memories.

  Rosen's purpose in painting this picture is to capture certain beings and explore their memories.

  As Delia's spirit fell into dreams, she began to forget her current memories and began to return to the starting point of her memories, back to when she was first born into this world, and then re-experienced her past life in dreams.

  Rosen quickly read through Delia's memories, and his heart felt heavier than ever before.

  Delia actually mastered gluttony. Like little Rosen, Delia was born into a hereditary lord family and both her parents died.

  Even worse than him, Delia was adopted when she was very young.

  However, the person who adopted her had bad intentions. Although he treated her well on the surface, he actually just treated her as an experimental subject.

  He quietly abolished her original extraordinary bloodline, and then injected a drop of demon blood into her body again.

  Delia would never discover the truth until her death because her adoptive father was a Sequence 3 actor.

  This kind of person doesn't want to show his true colors, so how could Delia see through his acting skills?

  She was able to discover her adoptive father's true identity only because her adoptive father took the initiative to tell her the truth.

  Then she was imprisoned until her adoptive father suddenly died one day.

  Delia seized the opportunity and escaped successfully. From then on, she lived in fear in the spiritual realm affiliated with the Adventure King City.

  After learning about Delia's memories, Rosen couldn't help but have some questions.

  Why did Delia's adoptive father take the initiative to tell her the truth?

  Why did the actor in Sequence 3 suddenly die?

  Did Delia's adoptive father really die or just pretend to die?

  Has the seal that the World Government used to seal the Demon God in the Dungeon Kingdom gone wrong?

  These questions were not only raised by Rosen, but also by Delia.

  She didn't believe that her adoptive father was dead, and she didn't dare to actually escape from the dungeon kingdom.

  He didn't dare to do anything unnecessary, so much so that a Sequence 7 gourmet was too poor to afford spiritual ingredients.

  Delia lives in fear every day.

  However, people's patience has its limits. Delia has lived here for ten years without any problems.

  She began to doubt whether her adoptive father was really dead.

  So Delia mustered up the courage to escape from the Dungeon Kingdom, but she needed money to leave the Dungeon Kingdom.

  It was at this time that she discovered the bounty, which led to what happened in recent days.

  As a result, this time he recognized her gluttony talent, and Delia's already tense nerves instantly broke.

  She instinctively killed him, and after realizing that she had killed a noble, Delia prepared to take the risk and escape as planned.

  Rosen is very worried now. If Delia's adoptive father is still alive, wouldn't he be accidentally involved?

  At this time, there may be more than one pair of eyes watching him in secret.

  They say curiosity kills the cat, and he really got himself into big trouble this time.

  Rosen quietly opened the mysterious study in the space in the painting, hid in it and left behind a self-portrait clone.

  Then he left the space in the painting as if nothing had happened, thinking about how to deal with Delia.

  Rosen used the Mind Canvas to project Delia's memories onto it, and then modified the memory after he asked about the gluttony issue, changing it to him being curious about Delia's cooking skills, and taking out the ingredients and inviting her to make a delicious meal.

  Successfully modified Delia's memory, and then left a painting deep in Delia's memory.

  Rosen then sent Delia back to the Void Kitchen and lifted the blockade of Delia's spiritual power by the Heart Prison.

  Delia, who had regained her spiritual consciousness and regained consciousness, had forgotten what had just happened.

  After seeing Rosen off, Delia began to pack her luggage and prepare to escape.

  Rosen went straight back to the hotel and did nothing extra for the next few days.

  I attended dances as usual every day and occasionally met some painters to exchange painting skills.

  The fact that his void gallery had set up a time trap gradually spread through the mouths of painters who visited his void gallery, which further allowed more nobles to interact with Rosen and form a shallow network of contacts.

  Until this day, Rosen visited the last painter of the Dungeon Kingdom as planned.

  "Are you ready to leave?"

  Count Amuro looked at Rosen in surprise.

  "It's been a long time since I came out..."

  Rosen smiled and said, "If it weren't for your Void Gallery that made me linger, I would have returned to the Blue Whale Kingdom by now. I would also like to get to know the painters there. I should have traveled to various countries for decades."

  "That's what you said."

  Count Amuro looked at Rosen with envy.

  He is a Sequence 6 painter, but he is sure that Rosen has become a Sequence 5, and he may still be stuck at Sequence 6.

  Travel to various countries to collect folk customs and visit painters from various countries to exchange painting skills.

  He also wanted to do these things, but he didn't have any extra spiritual crystals to use in this regard.

  The Void Gallery costs money, the Divine Territory costs money, and Sequence 6 is a very awkward level. Investment is required everywhere. Basically, only after passing Sequence 6 and reaching Sequence 5 can one gradually embark on a regular and leisurely life.

  Rosen said goodbye to Count Amuro and bought a train ticket to the spirit world back to the Blue Whale Kingdom that day.

  However, it will take at least two days for the train to arrive.

  If there was any trouble coming, I would have been unable to hold it in during the last two days.

  However, until Rosen left in the car, he did not encounter any trouble at all.

  It was as if all the caution he had shown over the past two months was meaningless, and he was just overthinking and scaring himself.

  When Rosen got off the train at the Blue Whale King City Station, he felt relieved.

  However, the next moment, my heart was hanging in the air again.

  Because he felt that there was a painting that shouldn't be here that appeared in the Blue Whale King City.

  That was a painting he left deep in Delia's memory, a static painting of a virtual spiritual world, mainly used as an early warning of something happening. Even if someone found the key to the static painting deep in Delia's memory, they couldn't lock onto him because of the Lord God's computer.

  Originally he couldn't sense it because the distance was too far, but now he could clearly sense Delia's presence in the Blue Whale King City.

  Apparently, Delia, who had escaped from the Dungeon Kingdom, had come to the Blue Whale King City.

  Coincidences are indeed everywhere, but when there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.

  It just so happened that he needed time skills, and Delia just happened to appear. It just so happened that he mastered gluttony, and Delia also mastered gluttony. It just so happened that he returned to the Blue Whale Kingdom, and Delia also escaped to the Blue Whale Kingdom.

  The world is so big, and the Blue Whale Kingdom is not far from the Dungeon Kingdom.

  What a coincidence, Delia appears here.
