Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 165 Ambiguous Treatment
Cohen's sudden silence made Belmoody's heart tighten.

The mist on her face actually dissipated a little, revealing a pair of amber eyes, which were shaded by thick and slightly upturned eyelashes. They were like a forest lake penetrated by sunlight, and every ray of light and shadow reflected intoxicating and enchanting colors.

Belmodi looked at Cohen steadily and said word by word:

"I told you, as long as you can save her, I can promise you anything, even sharing the 'Mysterious Continent' with you!"

An aura of decadence, curse, maturity, and enchantment emanated from Belmodi's body, especially those eyes that seemed to be flashing with brilliance, as if the soul was burning, making people sink into it involuntarily.

Cohen knew that this was an outward manifestation of Belmoody's inability to suppress her own rules. In other words, the Witch's understanding of the rules was enough for her to break through to the next level.

It was just that she lacked the necessary potion, so she had not made a breakthrough yet. As a result, once she became emotional, she would find it difficult to control the power of rules.

Cohen took a deep breath, looked away, and said in a serious tone:
"Your Excellency the Witch has misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to save Miss Rosalinda, but the way I'm going to save her might be a bit offensive, so I need to explain this to you in advance to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."

Belmodi also realized that he had lost his composure. The mist once again covered his enchanting eyes, and his voice softened a lot:
"I am agitated, Your Excellency, please speak."

Cohen said calmly:

"Ms. Rosalina chose the 'God of Truth and Memory' sequence.

The complete sequence is Bronze [Listener], Silver [Secret Keeper], Gold [Listener], Legendary [Son of Insight], Saint [Revelation], and the Supreme [God of Truth and Memory].

To advance from the ninth rank to the legendary rank, the [Son of Insight] must take the potions 'Hearing III', 'Truth I', and 'Insight I' in sequence.

Miss Rosalinda has reached the peak of the ninth level, which means she has taken "Hearing III".

So, it happened when she was taking 'Truth I' to advance to Half-Step Legend."

Belmodi nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Cohen continued:

"The magic potion 'Truth I' will restore the river of memory, allowing the user to reach a place called 'Realm of Truth'.

When users are in the 'real world', the memories deep in their minds will be activated, restoring the most original truth of their life experiences.

Compared to other potions, the danger level of 'Truth I' is actually not that high.

Because for most people, there are no overly exciting truths deep in their minds. They are just some forgotten people or things from childhood. They can be remembered by taking "Truth I", which is equivalent to revisiting childhood experiences from an adult's perspective.

It's even fun for a lot of people.

Normally, there wouldn't be any serious side effects, but since Miss Rosalinsha has become like this after taking 'Truth I', it means...she seems to have seen some truths in the 'Realm of Reality' that are difficult to accept."

After Cohen finished speaking, he could clearly feel that Belmoody fell into a deep silence.

After a while, she slowly spoke:
"Melissa was the first to choose to take up the position of 'God of Truth and Memory'.

We had no experience with this potion and had no idea it would have this effect.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t let her try it.”

Before Cohen could reply, Belmoody's voice continued:

"Melantha has an older sister. I found these two sisters in a ruin when I first came to the 'Lost Land'.

At that time they were just two babies who were only a few months old.

The fact that two babies appeared in a place like the 'Land of the Lost' was enough to prove that their origins were extraordinary.

I saw that they both had good talent, so I brought them back."

Cohen's eyes moved slightly. Rosalina has a sister?
Almost instantly, Mephis's name popped into his mind.

The younger sisters are all Belmokhtar's trusted subordinates, so there is no reason why the older sister should not be too.

Finally, Cohen understood where the familiar feeling that Rosalina gave him came from. Although the sisters had their own strengths, there was still some similarity between their eyebrows and eyes.

Mephis Tinuviel.

Melantha Tinuviel.

Interestingly, the two ninth-level peak confidants under the Sequence Lord are actually sisters!
Cohen suppressed his turbulent thoughts and replied in a deep voice:
"As Her Excellency the Witch said, Rosalina must have come into contact with the truth about her birth in the 'Realm of Reality,' and it's most likely about her biological parents.

Perhaps the truth was too cruel, causing her to be traumatized and her will to be on the verge of collapse.

The only way I could think of to help her was to enter her 'real world' and bring her out.

In this way, it is inevitable that I will touch the deepest part of her heart and the truth that she cannot accept the most.

But I am a stranger to her after all, what if in the future..."

Cohen stopped talking here.

Belmodi understood what Cohen meant, and she turned and asked:
"Can I come in?"

Cohen said helplessly:

"If Your Excellency the Witch is not a Sequencer, then it is possible.

Because this method is to take a bottle of "Truth I", and then through a special means, connect the "real world" of two people through a bridge.

Cross this bridge to enter her 'real world' and rescue her.

But you are also a powerful Sequencer. Taking a potion that is not of this sequence will not have any effect, but will instead impact your body and will."

There was a glint of struggle in Belmodi's eyes. It was really embarrassing to let a stranger of the opposite sex get in touch with the deepest secrets in Rosalina's heart.

It was like showing the daughter you had raised for more than 20 years naked to a man.

Not physically, but spiritually.

Originally, Belmoody was still worried that Mevis would fall into the hands of this mysterious man, but there was no clear sign from Mevis yet, but her sister Rosalina was about to fall into the hands of this man first.

A flicker of determination flashed across Belmodi's eyes. He stared at Cohen and said in a deep voice:
"Promise me that no matter what you see in there, you won't tell anyone and you won't threaten her with it.

As long as you promise me to do this, after rescuing Meilansha, I will announce to the Lost Land that you are the other master of the Mysterious Continent! "

Cohen opened his mouth slightly. He knew that Belmoody was not just talking, but really intended to do it.

A strange man becomes another owner of the "Mysterious Island"?
Now, even if Cohen doesn't admit it, everyone in the "Lost Land" will be sure that he is the lover kept by the Witch Lady.

Cohen could already imagine the expression on Goodman Gary's face when he heard the news, the vice-president of the Cobalt Soul Academy, the one who pretended to be a bard and made up third-rate stories.

Cohen waved his hands quickly and said:
"Your Excellency the Witch is joking. You can rest assured about my character. I will never do anything to harm Miss Rosalina.

I'm just worried that Miss Roselanda won't be able to accept it afterwards, so I hope you can mediate and explain it to her properly.

As for what you said about announcing to the Lost Land that I've become the master of the Mysterious Continent... I think that's unnecessary."

Belmodi narrowed her eyes and asked:

"Isn't becoming the master of the 'Mysterious Island' attractive to you at all?"

Cohen shook his head slightly and said calmly:
"If I were just an ordinary city lord of the Lost Land, I would definitely not refuse the opportunity to cling to the Sequence Lord.

But my 'Endless Alliance' aims to become a force comparable to the five great oases in the future. If I become the master of the 'Mysterious Island', I will be targeted and targeted by everyone."

Cohen's voice was neither fast nor slow, but it allowed Belmoody to feel the strong confidence contained in his words.

Is he sure that he will be able to build a force that is no weaker than Oasis in the future?
Such a man is indeed charming, no wonder Mavis is willing to join his team.

Belmodi's beautiful face, hidden under the mist, sparkled with admiration.

Cohen changed the subject and suggested:
“However, it’s not impossible to form an alliance secretly. The term ‘another master’ is a bit exaggerated, and your subordinates will not recognize me.

How about we make an offensive and defensive alliance?"

Belmodi replied without much thought:
"No problem. As long as we are in the 'Land of the Lost', I can guarantee that you and the 'Endless Alliance' behind you will be safe."

Belmodi's influence is limited to the "Lost Land".

Just as the Legendaries of the human continent cannot easily enter the "Lost Land", the Legendaries of the 'Lost Land' cannot easily get involved in disputes on the human continent.

However, this promise is enough. At least before Cohen's "Endless Alliance" truly grows up, it can get a relatively stable development environment.

After the deal was settled, Belmodi looked at Rosalina lovingly. At this moment, she was no longer the Lord of Sequences who was high above everyone else, holding great power and controlling the fate of countless Sequencers, but just a worried mother and sister.

Cohen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked to Rosalina and sat down in front of the bed.

The dragon seal on his hand flickered, transforming into a golden carving knife. He hesitated for a moment, and his voice carried a hint of strangeness:

"To enter her 'realm of truth', we need to engrave a magic circle near our hearts, so..."

Belmodi frowned. The area close to the heart, isn’t that the chest?
Want to write and draw on Rosalina's chest?
Is this guy sure he's not taking advantage on purpose?

Seeing that Belmoody was clearly showing resistance, Cohen did not explain further.

He turned around, unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his chest, held the knife in one hand, and quickly carved out a complex magic circle.

Then he turned around and pointed at his chest towards Belmodi and said:

"Have you, Madam Witch, ever learned how to engrave a magic circle?

If you could do it for me, that would be great.”

Cohen's chest is solid and broad, and his muscle lines are like the most perfect work of a master sculptor. They rise and fall slightly with his breathing, exuding the scent of male hormones, full of masculine charm and power.

Belmodi looked at Cohen's bare chest, and her beautiful eyes trembled slightly.

She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, stared at the complex and mysterious magic circle on his chest, took the carving knife from Cohen's hand, tried to gesture, shook her head, and said:
"A single mistake in drawing the magic circle can lead to a huge mistake. You should do it." Cohen nodded and buttoned up his clothes.

Belmodi touched Rosalina's face and motioned Cohen to turn around first.

Then he took off the high-necked sweater that Rosalina was wearing with his hands, revealing her skin as delicate and white as mutton fat jade, and her enchanting curves were clearly visible. Unfortunately, no one had the pleasure to see it.

Belmodi covered her with the blanket again, hiding her seductive charm, and asked in a low voice:

"Above or below?"

Cohen wanted to say that actually, engraving it on her chest would have the best effect.

But if he said this, he would probably be thrown out by Belmoody.

Cohen thought for a moment and replied:

"Just down there."

Belmoody used her delicate hands to untie Rosalina's underwear. As soon as the rope was loosened, the pair of "weapons" jumped out directly, overflowing outside. Even Belmoody couldn't help but be surprised. This little girl was developing better and better.

He brought another blanket and wrapped her tightly around him. He also covered her flat belly with the blanket, leaving only a small area in the middle.

"Okay, turn around!"

Cohen looked at Rosalina's skin, which was as smooth as cream and gleaming with white light. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, stretched out the carving knife, and began to carve carefully.

As the last stroke was made, the magic circle flickered with a faint light, but it was this faint light that suddenly caused Rosalina's body to instinctively counterattack. The passive power of the golden body directly burst out with a powerful magical fluctuation.

Although Belmodi reacted extremely quickly to control the fluctuations of magic power, the blanket used to cover her body was inevitably turned into powder by the intense magic power.

Then, a naked, white, perfect, and snow-white delicate body suddenly filled Cohen's field of vision.

"Why don't you turn around?"

Belmodi's embarrassed and angry voice came to my ears.

Cohen quickly turned his head, his mind full of the pair of weapons that had just popped out.

A thought suddenly popped up in my mind: it seems that the younger sister's is bigger than the older sister's...

When Cohen was allowed to turn around, Belmodi had already changed Rosina's clothes. It was obvious that the witch was in a bad mood. Cohen tactfully did not bring up the previous topic and asked directly:
"Any extra potions?"

Belmodi handed Cohen a brown bottle. Cohen took it and said hesitantly:
"If there is physical contact, it will be easier to connect to Miss Rosanna's 'Real Realm' through the magic circle."

Belmodi's breathing stagnated, and he asked angrily:
"Anything else? Tell me all at once!"

"Gone!"

Belmodi said:

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, understand?"

Cohen nodded seriously.

Then Belmodi carried Rosalina inside, leaving a place for Cohen to lie down.

Cohen did not hesitate any longer. He took the potion and drank it in one gulp. Then he lay down beside Rosalind and took her delicate hand.

The potion took effect quickly and Cohen slowly fell asleep.

Belmodi looked at the two people lying on the bed, and for no reason her mind thought of Mephistopheles. Finally, all her thoughts turned into a faint sigh and disappeared.

……

When Cohen opened his eyes, he stepped into a world made up of fog, light and shadow. The air around him became sticky, and it seemed as if faint colors were flickering in front of his eyes.

Every step feels like walking on nothingness.

The realm of reality!

Unfortunately, Cohen is not a Sequencer and has never taken other potions before, so his real realm is not perfect and he cannot explore the truth.

Otherwise, he really wanted to reminisce about his childhood with his sister, the queen.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that he does not have the ability to review his memories, otherwise he would definitely see a scene that he would never forget -

A cute girl, holding the "baby version" of Cohen, pinched the little "Cohen" on his body with great curiosity.

Needless to say, that lovely girl was none other than ten-year-old Adair Angrain!
Cohen clenched his fists, gently stroked the magic circle branded on his chest, and whispered a few spells. The magic circle began to gradually rotate, flashing with a faint blue light.

Immediately afterwards, the faint blue light extended outward and finally transformed into a bridge, extending from under his feet and leading to the unknown void.

Cohen took a deep breath, stepped onto the bridge, and walked down step by step.

……

Rosalina opened her eyes and found silence all around her, with only two breathing sounds echoing in the small and cramped space.

Only then did Rosalina realize that she was trapped in a small glass cover. What shocked her even more was that she had turned into a baby.

what 's wrong?
I remembered!

I became like this after taking the potion, so is all this an illusion?

It is the test of one's will by the magic potion "Truth I"!

Thinking of this, Rosalina calmed down a lot. She moved her body, but the baby could only provide her with too little strength.

She could only turn her eyes and found that there was a baby girl who looked similar to her lying next to her.

When I saw the baby girl, a familiar feeling of blood connection came to my heart.

A thought immediately popped up in her mind: this is her sister, Mavis!
Strange, what kind of illusion is this?
Why did my sister and I turn into babies at the same time?
The truth…the truth…

A chilling feeling suddenly emerged from behind Rosalina!

Could it be that the scene before my eyes was what happened when I was a baby?
Could it be that the magic potion "Truth I" can activate the memories deep in my mind?

Is this what truth means?

An inexplicable panic surged in my heart!

The origins of herself and her sister have always been a stone between the two sisters.

Belmodi has always avoided talking about their life stories, which makes the two people want to know their own life stories more urgently.

Who are their biological parents and why were they abandoned in the "Lost Land" since childhood?
He never expected that this truth would be revealed accidentally because of his promotion to Half-Step Legend.

For a moment, Rosalina felt a little anxious and worried. She was nervous about finally getting her long-cherished wish after years of pursuit, but also confused about the unknown truth.

Now that this unknown truth has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, it makes her a little confused.

Why were two babies trapped in a glass case?
What is this doing?
Rosalina looked at the glass cover. The surface of the cover was as smooth as a mirror, but it also bore traces of time.

Through it, the outside world became somewhat distorted, the light formed a strange halo under the refraction of the glass, and the surrounding scenes swayed like reflections in the water.

Looking upwards, the top of the glass cover is a round dome, like an inverted sky, without a single gap.

Rosalina opened her eyes as wide as she could and could vaguely see some images.

However, it was these scenes that shocked her.

The various arrangements outside are like a palace where magic and technology are intertwined.

The walls are inlaid with countless display screens, showing various experimental data and complex model diagrams, and the data is updated as quickly as flowing water.

Crystal prisms of various shapes are placed on the silver metal laboratory table, and strange energy is sealed inside.

In the corner, tall puppets stood quietly, their bodies engraved with ancient runes and a royal emblem full of solemnity and sacredness!

Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar badge, Rosalina's mind exploded, and the name of a great human kingdom that had been destroyed for a thousand years popped up - the Arcane Empire!
Those strange energies called "Ao", those war puppets that represent the pinnacle of human alchemy and magic, and the sacred royal emblem, those things that only exist in a few words in ancient historical books, all appeared in front of Rosalina!
Here... is this the Arcane Empire from a thousand years ago?

Haven’t I returned to the time of my birth?
Why did it appear in the Arcane Empire?
Great confusion and doubt filled Rosalina's mind. Could it be that she was wrong? Wasn't the function of the potion "Truth I" to activate the memories deep in the mind?

Isn’t this the scene where I was just born?

Rosalina used all her strength to look down at the small blush under her armpit.

Yes, it is my birthmark. This is indeed my body as a baby.

However, before she could figure out the situation, she saw a man and a woman walking in.

At the same time, a feeling of blood connection also arose spontaneously.

Rosalina's pupils turned slightly red. Are this man and woman her biological parents?
Immediately afterwards, Rosalina's eyes widened as if she had thought of something incredible!

How could my biological parents be from the Arcane Empire?

The Arcane Empire has been destroyed for thousands of years!

Rosalina felt a deep sense of absurdity from the bottom of her heart. She really didn't know how to understand what was happening before her eyes.

Soon, the couple's voices rang out.

Although the words coming out of this man's mouth were extremely strange, Rosalina could understand them!
It's not the common language of mankind!
But it is the language of the Arcane Empire. This really is the Arcane Empire from a thousand years ago!

Then, the first sentence the man said was like a tsunami, impacting Rosalina's heart and causing her thoughts to completely collapse!
