In fact, Annelotte had been paying attention to Rozen for a long time.
The so-called long time could be traced back to when Rozen was still in Rune.
That was to say, as early as Rozen was a child, Annelotte had already noticed him.
"I've heard about you since you were a child."
Annelotte's childishness faded from his face and was replaced by the decisiveness and intellectuality of Pope.
"At that time, someone reported to me that there was an incredible genius in Rune. Not only did he have extraordinary magical power, but he also taught himself flying magic. In addition, he annihilated the magic beetles that sneaked into Rune. When he was in school, he often went out without permission and fought with the magic beetles outside, and eventually returned unscathed. So, I've always been curious about what kind of genius he is."
At that time, Annelotte paid attention to Rozen at most.
But then, Rozen's performance attracted Annelotte's attention one by one, and in the end, it even moved her.
For example …
"When you first entered Mystergang and obtained the refining method of magic compression, you immediately completed the refining of magic compression by yourself, and you compressed it directly to the limit, to the extent that even a large magic compression furnace can't do it."
For example …
"After you were summoned by the floating city at the frontline, even though you were clearly the youngest pilot there, you didn't cower in the slightest when faced with powerful pilots from all over the world who had been fighting at the frontline for a long time. Not only did you defeat all of them, you even made them wholeheartedly listen to your instructions, achieving several victories against the Demon Armor Insects without suffering any losses."
For example …
"After you transferred to Wan Rong Melt Gold Branch, you immediately developed a variety of new technologies and magic, which advanced the development of magic by half a century."
All of these were passed to Annelotte's ears one by one through others' mouths.
Therefore, Annelotte really had been paying attention to Rozen for a long time.
Perhaps, Rozen didn't know that the reason why he was summoned to the frontline was because Annelotte personally ordered to promote this matter in order to confirm Rozen's true strength and to give Rozen a test.
Otherwise, why would the floating city at the frontline summon a pre-college student to the most dangerous battlefield to fight against the magic beetles?
Even if Rozen became famous in Mystergang, it was only in Mystergang.
For the pilots who fought against the magic beetles all year round, no matter how talented he was, Rozen was still a kid who hadn't graduated yet. It was impossible to summon such a person to the frontline.
Because of this, when Rozen first arrived at the floating city at the frontline, he was looked down upon, ridiculed, and even slandered.
As a result, Rozen naturally didn't give them any face at all. On the same day, he beat all the arrogant pilots to the ground, and even made those who took advantage of their seniority obediently hand over their command.
At this point, Annelotte finally paid attention to Rozen.
"Originally, I thought that a hero was finally born among humans. Who would have thought that you immediately announced your withdrawal from the frontline and transferred to Wan Rong Melt Gold Branch. At that time, I really wanted to rush to Mystergang to give you a good lecture, Mr. Rorelles."
Annelotte said angrily, and it didn't sound like a joke.
Rozen could imagine that if it weren't for Jess's men who had been looking for her and intending to take her life, this loli old woman would definitely rush to Mystergang and preach to him.
When he thought of that, Rozen's whole body was in a mess.
Being preached by a young girl?
If that really happened, then the prestige that Rozen built in Mystergang for many years would be gone.
"However, you still surprised me. Not only did you become the Thousand Melt Alchemist with the title of Magus King, but you even developed the incredible power of advanced magic."
Annelotte looked at Rozen, and his eyes flashed.
"From then on, I was sure, Mr. Rorelles, that you are the hope of mankind to deal with the magic beetles."
What did that sentence mean? Of course, Rozen understood.
"Is it because of the power of the humanoid magic beetles sent by Jess?"
Rozen hit the bull's eye.
"Yes." Annelotte nodded and said, "Originally, the power of the curse is a more powerful interference force than magic. When human pilots face the magic beetles, their power is already at a disadvantage, not to mention the power of the fusion of magic and the power of the curse."
There was no need to say how strong a person with the power of the curse could be.
Just look at Reja. He was a complete layman, but after obtaining the collapsing power, he immediately became so arrogant that he could even imprison an S-rank air knight like You Li. If someone who was really good at fighting obtained the collapsing power, then being invincible in the world was definitely not just for show.
Humans were weaker than the magic beetles.
It was a fact that the power of the curse was stronger than magic. No one could deny that. Otherwise, humans would not be forced to retreat to the sky.
Looking at this underground city, the visual obstruction spell used to conceal here was also driven by the power of the curse. It could be seen that the power of the curse was really stronger than magic. In the face of the magic beetles, humans were naturally at a disadvantage.
In the end, enemies that possessed both magic and the power of the curse, and could even fuse the two powers to possess the power of the disintegration of the principles of all things, appeared one after another in Jess's faction. It was easy to imagine the current situation of humans.
Because of this, as the great Pope, Annelotte could only hide in this underground city that never saw the light of day.
"Only the power of the curse can deal with the power of the curse, or a power equal to it."
At this point, Annelotte restrained his expression and sighed.
"But, on our side, there's only one person with the power of the curse. Chris only has the power of the curse, and the number of people with the power of the curse in Jess's faction is no less than ten. If we fight them, humans will lose without a doubt."
So, when he learned that Rozen had developed a high-level magic that could contend with the power of the curse, Annelotte was really excited.
"I was worried that the people in Jess's faction would attack you because of this, but you resolved all of Jess's plot and came here. I'm really happy."
Annelotte looked at Rozen very seriously.
"In the name of the Pope, I'm here to ask you."
"Rorelles Aniello, please lend your power to the humans."
"Help the humans, defeat the Demon Beetles."
Annelotte made a request.
Looking at Annelotte like this, both Ripa and Chris held their breath, not daring to breathe.
As the highest person in charge of humans, at this moment, Annelotte was making a request to Rozen in order to fight for power.
Such a thing, if it was in the past, would never happen.
This proved that Rozen had such value.
For this, Annelotte would bow to him in a way of request.
However …
"Before that, tell me first."
Rozen's face was calm, and he spoke calmly without the slightest change in expression.
"'The truth of the world's creation' — — what does this refer to?"
These words changed the atmosphere of the entire hall.
It became heavy.
