Night fell quietly.
Due to the strange incidents in the past and the unusual phenomenon today, Kosmos at night was undoubtedly more deserted and eerie than any other city that Shien had been to in the past.
Even though there were oil lamps and magical lamps in use in the crisscrossing buildings, the light that shone through the windows couldn't reach the streets. Instead, it shone randomly on the walls of other buildings, narrow alleys, and unfrequented terrains. In addition to the lack of proper streets, it made the city look eerie.
It went without saying that no one would be out on the streets at night in Kosmos and no shops would be open at this time because no one would be there to take care of their business.
Perhaps only the knights were active in Kosmos, patrolling and investigating at the same time, trying to find out the truth and the source of the strange happenings. Otherwise, only those robbers who wanted to take advantage of the situation would roam the messy alleyways and alleys, adding more color to the strangeness of Kosmos.
Fortunately, even under such circumstances, Shien and the others successfully found a hotel and checked in.
After all, before the incident in Kosmos, there were many non-local tourists in the city. After the incident, many foreigners who were at a loss of what to do moved here from other places. Under such circumstances, the city was locked down and they couldn't leave the city, so naturally, they had to find a place to stay.
In other words, in the current Kosmos, only the hotels that provided accommodation were barely able to do business.
The hotel that Shien and the others checked into was already full, but for some unknown reason, after La Xia's negotiation, they were able to free up a room that wasn't inferior to the luxurious suite that Shien and the others stayed in before in Tereteli, allowing the four of them to move in comfortably.
Not only did the room have multiple bedrooms, but it also had a kitchen and a bathroom. It could be said that it had all the basic living conditions and it wouldn't be a problem for them to stay there forever.
It was said that the hotel also had a large public bathing area where men and women could bathe together, which was why it was quite popular, mainly for men.
When Shien learned about this, he was more or less tempted, but he received a subtle warning.
"Don't go, okay?"
"Even if Mr. Shien is young and impetuous, it's best that you don't vent your anger outside."
Ai Yi and La Xia warned Shien with their own styles.
"Am … Am I that kind of person?!"
Shien yelled in anger, but what he got in return was an inexplicable look of disdain from the two young ladies.
"… Okay, I'm that kind of person."
Shien had no choice but to admit it.
Oh please, it's a mixed bath.
A mixed bath?
Hearing about such a wonderful place, as a "young and vigorous" man, how could he not go and take a look?
What? You're saying that I'm not just going to 'look'?
You're saying that I'm not just for a 'look'? You must be mistaken.
With such a mood, after nightfall, Sean sneaked into the big bathing area without telling Ai Yi and Xia Xia.
However, three seconds later, Sean scrambled out of it.
"Why are they all old grandpas and grannies …?!"
Shien felt like he was almost blinded.
But on second thought, even if there were beautiful young ladies, how could they give benefits to others when they knew that the big bath was a mixed bath?
Do you suppose that every one is as kind as Tierre? F * ck!
Sean, who had suffered a heavy blow to his soul, dragged his injured body back to his room. After eating the dinner prepared by Hua Xia, he entered the bathroom in his room with a dejected face.
"I wish Tierre was here to help me wash my eyes …"
Soaking in the personal bathtub, Shien sighed as he rested his head on his pillow.
"I wonder what everyone is doing now …"
Thinking of his friends in the Royal Capital, Shien found that he missed them.
"Vivian and the others should be having dinner at my house, discussing the migration of Lumia's younger sisters."
"Tierre might be exercising alone."
"Merica … If I'm not here, that girl won't go stalking others, right?"
While thinking, Shien raised one of his hands that was soaking in the water.
In this hand, there was a small bead lying on it.
Looking at the bead, Shien couldn't help but smile.
"Let's see what that girl is doing."
With these words, Shien tossed the bead in his hand into the air.
"Clang …"
The bead suddenly glowed and, as if submerged in water, plunged into the space in front of Shien with a splash, causing a circle of ripples in the space.
The ripples gradually spread, and not long after, they turned into a screen.
On the screen, an extremely beautiful face that could cause the downfall of nations and cities appeared.
"Too ~ ~ slow ~ ~ ~!"
An extremely pleasant voice came from the screen, accompanied by anger.
This person was Rosie, who was far away in the Royal Capital.
"Didn't I tell you to contact me at night?!"
Rosie, who appeared on the screen, looked as if she had been waiting for a long time and was fuming.
Seeing this, Shien couldn't help but find it funny.
Before Shien left the Royal Capital, Rosie gave a magic tool to Shien and repeatedly instructed him to use it at night to contact her, who was far away in the Royal Capital.
That magic tool was the bead that Shien had just used.
It was a very rare magic tool that could connect two different positions and allow people to communicate through the environment created by the tool. It was a magic tool that nobles and feudal lords often used to communicate with each other.
Shien received this magic tool from Rosie, so he would meet Rosie every night.
But every time this happened, Rosie would chatter endlessly.
"Do you know how hard I work during the day in order to free up time at night? In the end, you still made me wait here! "
Rosie complained incessantly.
"Do you have to?" Shien laughed and said, "It was the same last night, and it's the same tonight. Are you going to make trouble every night because of waiting for me?"
Hearing Shien's indifferent tone, Rosie became even angrier.
This guy, even though he was not in the Royal Capital, he was still as infuriating. She really wanted to bite him.
Rosie couldn't be blamed for this.
After all, ever since Shien left, Rosie did have a hard time.
"I used to be able to live on my own, why can't I now?"
This was not the first time Rosie had felt this way.
Rosie's current pace of life was no different from before. Other than work, she still had to maintain her flawless princess image and not let outsiders know that she actually wanted to be a salted fish.
But in the past, even if she couldn't be salted, Rosie could endure it and finish her work while sighing.
But now, for some reason, Rosie found this situation a little unbearable.
Perhaps the reason was because she already knew what it felt like to have someone who knew her true colors and could let her show it without any scruples. She no longer had to pretend and was no longer lonely.
After experiencing the beautiful and comfortable time, she naturally couldn't bear to go back to the boring time.
Not to mention, Shien was now not only an object for Rosie to express her true nature, but he was also an indispensable partner in her life from now on.
"Speaking of which, generally speaking, who would run away after a few days after getting someone else's body?"
Rosie really wanted to throw a tantrum over this matter.
Even though she knew that Shien had a purpose for this trip, in the past few days, because of Shien's absence, Rosie really felt that life was boring and unbearable.
To put it simply, this princess was still a little worried about gains and losses. She had only been in love for a few days, but her man had already run away. It really made her feel uncomfortable.
Now, Rosie worked every day while eagerly hoping that Shien would quickly finish what he wanted to do and return to the Royal City to accompany her.
It was not easy for her to complete all the work during the day with such a mood. At night, Rosie was naturally looking forward to Sean's call. She was waiting anxiously for Sean to contact her.
It could only be said that this princess was really lacking in love and entertainment. Otherwise, she wouldn't be throwing a tantrum like this.
Shien was naturally aware of this situation, so he immediately spoke in a rare kind tone.
"I'm now at Kosmos. Although I haven't seen the Old Demons yet, since I'm already here, I should meet them soon, right?"
Shien reported today's itinerary to Rosie.
"Already here?" Rosie was slightly startled and said in surprise, "That's really fast."
One had to know that Kosmos was at the northernmost part of the kingdom. If one wanted to reach there from the Royal City by carriage, it would take at least half a month to a month.
Shien had already arrived at Kosmos less than three days after leaving the Royal City. It had to be said that his speed was indeed fast.
"I have You Lin here, a level 99 dragon. If she flies at full speed, I think it will only take her a day to circle the kingdom." Shien pursed his lips and said, "Not just me, even the young master of the Stringham Family is in Kosmos."
"The young master of the Stringham Family?" Rosie was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, I heard that he returned to the Stringham Dukedom with Duke Bali. If it's him, it won't be difficult for him to return in a few days."
"Is that so?" Shien was a little interested and asked, "Why not?"
"Do you think you're the only one with a mount?" Rosie rolled her eyes and said, "The kingdom has the famous Wyvern Legion, and the Imperial Knights can get a Wyvern as a mount. That young master should have rushed back to the Stringham Dukedom on his own Wyvern, right?"
So that's how it is. No wonder he could come here from the Royal City in just a few days.
"I heard that the situation over there seems to be quite serious. What's the actual situation?"
Rosie asked Shien.
So, Shien told Rosie everything he encountered in Kosmos today, including the matter with Capeline.
But as soon as he said that, Rosie raised her eyebrows.
"Capelin Ragnar is there too?"
Rosie's mood seemed to have become less pleasant.
