As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

With a chuckle, Ron shook his head, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, reached out and grabbed the door lock leading to the next floor, and applied a little force.

Click.

Then there was a creaking sound.

In this extremely silent world, with almost no movement at all, this sound seemed particularly harsh.

Just as Ron speculated, after entering the hero level, he finally had the qualifications to enter the next level. Of course, as usual, Ron's soul was always ready to escape.

He just separated a strand of thread from his soul and penetrated into the next layer. After carefully sensing it and confirming that there was no movement, he felt a little relieved and his whole soul truly stepped into the layer. Second floor space.

Compared with the upper layer, the second layer seems to be slightly smaller, but not much and it does not look obvious.

There is also a magic lamp hanging on the ceiling that seems to be made of a skull. The small flame and dim light fill the entire space.

At least there was a desk, a chair, and two coffins on the first floor, but this floor seemed even more empty.

There was only a low table with a small sandalwood box on it.

There was a mysterious pattern engraved on the surface of the box, like some kind of spell, and there was a small keyhole on the box... Ron instantly looked down at his palm, and the rusty key was still held in Ron's hand.

Chapter 267 The Key of Time (3)

Ron looked at the keyhole on the sandalwood box in front of him, and then looked at the key in his hand. Ron frowned, and after a brief hesitation, he walked straight forward.

Vaguely, he could feel that the space on this floor was a little strange.

His soul seemed to become lighter in this space. He could not understand the reason for this. He could only speculate that it might be the influence of some mysterious power. As for whether this influence was good or bad for him, perhaps We can only wait and judge later.

After taking a closer look, there was nothing else on the table except the sandalwood box, and the table itself did not have any special features. It seemed that the sandalwood was the thing stored on the third floor of the Soul Crossing Boat. The box is gone.

You know, there are two coffins on the upper floor, and the people lying in the two coffins are likely to be the Moon God and the Star God. There is even a photo attached that seems to have a special meaning. As a result, the second floor is even more mysterious, and there is only one box. What is stored in this box? Is it even more important than the Moon God and the Star God?

After comparing it again, the size of the key is suitable. When the key is inserted, it is not hindered at all. It is precisely because of the protection of the talisman on the surface of the box that the box has been preserved until now. When Ron tried to open the box, it did not all turn into powder like the tables, chairs, books, and notes on the first floor.

With a click, the lock was opened.

The first thing that caught his eye was a monocle. At first glance, it looks quite ordinary, with nothing special about it.

Ron's expression turned slightly strange. What are you trying to do? Do you want us to turn into Amon?

Under the monocle is a piece of paper, and under the paper is a book.

He first pulled out the piece of paper. Fortunately, it was protected by the box. The passage of time did not have an irreparable impact on the piece of paper. Although it looked a little yellow, the writing on it was still clearly visible.

Holy Relic: The Eye of Secrets.

It allows you to see reality.

The top two lines of text were the introduction to the holy relic, the Eye of Peering. As for the so-called Eye of Peering, it should refer to the monocle. As for the vague introduction of being able to see the truth, it was impossible to determine its meaning for the time being.

The following text should be used to introduce this second level of space: between time!

The more Ron looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the expression on his face became weirder and weirder. If the content recorded on this piece of paper is correct, the second level of the Soul Crossing Boat has been modified by some special means. The flow of time in this space is different from that in the outside world, much faster than the outside world. After practicing here for a month, only three or five days should have passed outside.

This is definitely the most suitable place for practicing.

If we stayed here for ten years, the outside would only be as good as it was in the past year or so.

Compared with those practitioners in the Twilight Continent, I have more time to practice. Of course, Ron cannot stay here forever, and only Ron's soul can stay here, but Even so, it is a huge advantage compared to ordinary practitioners.

Maybe that's why the weird lightness you felt when you first entered the second floor came from this.

Putting down the yellowed paper in his hand, Ron picked up the book at the bottom. As soon as he saw the cover of the book, Ron's heart skipped a beat again... If he still had a heart now.

To be precise, it should be that his soul was trembling violently.

There is even a slight tendency of collapse.

Several seconds passed before Ron's soul was reunited. If he had a normal body now, he would be shocked and stunned, and perhaps even gasping for breath.

Just on the cover of the book, there are three big characters.

The key to time!

The key to controlling time.

It was obviously just a pure soul body, but Ron felt that his fingers seemed to be trembling, and he slowly opened the first page:

[All the phenomena in the sky have countless powers, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness, soul, reproduction, emotions, viruses... space, time, destiny, and time is the king and destiny is the respect... …]

The previous page lists in detail the types of powers that exist in the Twilight Continent. The types of powers that exist in the Twilight Continent are densely packed. In this book, the two most respected powers are time and fate.

And fate is vaguely above time.

As for the book "The Key of Time", it records the secret method of manipulating time.

Ron's consciousness was completely immersed in it almost instantly, and he was so mesmerized that all kinds of information were pouring into his mind.

He forgot time and everything.

……

Huh!

In Rempoint's small hotel, Agnes made a soft voice.

She didn't sleep very well. She was lying on the bed with her face tilted to the side. But when Agnes woke up, most of her body was completely pressed on Ron.

A pair of plump and beautiful legs, without any of the elegance that a noble lady should have, was simply draped over Ron's legs, with the round knees pressing against Ron's lower abdomen.

Perhaps because she turned over several times during the night, Agnes's hair became messy.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes drowsily, still a little sleepy. When Agnes gradually saw the familiar face so close to her, her consciousness gradually returned to its place.

The crazy scenes last night gradually emerged in Agnes' mind.

With a swish, her normally normal cheeks instantly turned bright red, even scalding hot. Just as she remembered the scenes that had happened, Agnes's eyes became filled with mist.

God, she must have been crazy last night, otherwise, how could she have done such a shameful thing.

There was even a burst of complaint in Fangxin's heart. This guy Ron must have harmed many girls. Otherwise, how could there be so many tricks?

After being shy for a while, Agnes realized her bad posture. Her mood, which had finally calmed down, became chaotic again. This might be because she treated Ron as the big white bear that she always hugged before sleeping... That's right, even though Agnes is not young anymore and is still a princess, she always likes to hug a big doll in her arms before sleeping.

It seems that this is the only way to sleep peacefully.

This is a very important secret of Agnes. If it is spread out, her reputation as a legendary seven-star master will be completely lost.

Ron's chest was still wet, all from his own saliva.

Agnes was almost extremely ashamed. She quickly pulled out some tissues from the bedside and hurriedly destroyed all the evidence of her crime while Ron was still asleep. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

With her big eyes rolling around, Agnes tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened. She climbed up from the bed quietly, trying to make her movements as quiet as possible so as not to wake up Ron.

She wanted to find her own clothes and put them on again, but when she saw the tattered rags on the ground, Agnes knew that this was impossible.

She made a face at Ron, this guy was so rough that her clothes were torn.

After changing into a clean long dress, Agnes washed her face in the bathroom, cleaned off all the remaining traces on her body, and combed her long hair before reappearing in front of Ron.

No matter what, she always wanted Ron to see her most beautiful side when he opened his eyes.

Just looking at Ron lying motionless on the bed, Agnes frowned slightly. Although Ron's realm was far inferior to hers, his real strength was not inferior to hers.

Normally, he should have woken up long ago due to the series of movements he just made. Why is there no reaction now?

Agnes was confused. After waiting for a while, the sun was already high overhead but Ron still hadn't woken up. Agnes couldn't bear it anymore and walked to Ron, gently shaking his body, trying to wake him up.

However, there was still no reaction at all.

At this point, Agnes's complexion finally changed. After a short hesitation, Agnes put her hand on Ron's forehead, and the spiritual energy penetrated. Soon, Agnes's complexion completely darkened.

Ron's body was completely empty, with no trace of his soul.

Breathing is normal.

Heartbeat is normal.

There were no signs of injury on the body.

It wasn't like someone had forcibly deprived their souls. With the strength of Ron and himself, if someone really took action and forcibly took away Ron's soul, they would not be aware of it.

Unless you are a destruction level master.

However, is there really a strong man of that level in this world?

Could it be that Ron's soul took the initiative to leave his body and do something else?

If this is the case, then all Agnes can do is to stay by Ron's side. No matter what, she must ensure that before Ron's soul returns, his body cannot be harmed in the slightest.

After a few thoughts quickly flashed through her mind, Agnes looked solemn and sat cross-legged next to Ron, as if she was a statue in trance, motionless.

Time passes slowly.

one day!

Two days!

Three days!

Seven days!

Half a month!

Chapter 268: Reaching for Dolores? (4)

In the Ronpoint hotel, Agnes has been waiting quietly by Ron's side.

If Ron's soul left the body on its own, then she would not be able to do anything else except wait for Ron's soul to return to its original place. Moreover, Agnes had carefully checked the surroundings of the hotel and could not see any encounters at all. Traces of invasion.

She could only keep calling in Ron's ear, hoping that Ron could hear her voice through the connection between soul and body and wake up as soon as possible.

On the other side, Apu and Holt also met again.

In the past few days, this was the first time the two of them had met.

More than half a month ago, the two of them finalized the matter of killing Ron, and even made careful plans the next day.

On Apu's side, in addition to himself, there are also the thirteen lackeys around Apu. No, they are the top three masters among the thirteen lackeys. These three are also the only legendary powerful ones under Apu. They are all Apu's loyal confidants.

One of them is the leader of the Knights of Dawn, one is the director of the Inquisition, and the third one does not actually hold any power in name, but no one dares to underestimate him. He is the strongest among the three. He specializes in handling some difficult and dirty things for Apu, and his methods are extremely vicious and cruel.

As for Holt's side, it's naturally Antonio and Hercules.

Although there were only two of them, their level was slightly higher than the three on Apu's side.

There are a total of seven legendary masters, whether it is Apu or Holt, they are full of confidence. Once Ron gets close to Adams, there will be no way for Ron to come back.

The net had clearly been spread out, waiting for Ron to show up, but Ron seemed to have disappeared, with no trace at all.

Apu had seen Ron and Agnes heading towards Adams. According to their estimation, they would be able to return to the royal city in two or three days, or at most six or seven days. They had sentries all over the way to Adams, waiting for Ron to approach and kill him outside the Adams royal city. However, they still had no trace of him after such a long time, which made the two of them feel suspicious.

They even suspected that Ron and Agnes had returned to the royal city. They deployed several times more manpower and searched everywhere, but found nothing.

"Apu, your judgment couldn't be wrong. Ron and Agnes, those two guys, couldn't have thought about returning to Granville?" Holt asked, tapping the table with his fingers and frowning.

He was originally filled with anger, but now the waiting time was getting longer and longer, and the initial impetus had long turned into irritation. Especially when he thought that these two people might be hiding somewhere without his knowledge, doing something shameless, and he could only wait here, Holt's mood suddenly became even more irritable.

"Impossible..." Apu immediately shook his head: "Although I couldn't hear it clearly because of the distance, at least I heard him say it when he and the fox girl parted. After the Granville matter is dealt with, I will go to the orc territory."

"He will definitely return to Adams." Apu said again. As for whether he said this to make himself believe it or to make Holt believe it, it was hard to say.

"But if that's the case, why hasn't it appeared yet?" Holt frowned.

Apu opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. Then, Apu's expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have thought of something: "Damn it, we all forgot one thing..."

"That guy is known as a prophet. Could it be that he has already predicted that the two of us would join forces to deal with him on Adams' side, so he is hiding on purpose?"

As soon as these words came out, Holt's expression suddenly became gloomy.

They calculated on all sides, only thinking about gathering enough strength to deal with Ron, but completely forgot about Ron's identity as a prophet. Since he was a prophet, it was natural for him to know their plans. If he already knew everything, then who would be stupid enough to jump into the fire pit?

The prophet is really terrible.

"Then what should we do? Can't we just let him go?" Holt's eyes were cold and his face was twisted. The woman he wanted but couldn't get was his princess, and she was actually taken away by Ron, a bastard. Taking the lead, Holt couldn't bear this matter no matter what.

What made Holt most uncomfortable was that during this period, Holt arranged for some people to conduct some investigations into Ron's affairs.

It's okay if I don't investigate, but I'll be shocked if I investigate.

When his eldest daughter, Dolores, went to Larnaca City to attend an auction, she stayed in the same box as Ron. They even stayed in the same hotel...

The Sykes Hotel.
