…
On the roof.
The gradually disappearing somersault cloud turned into a faint white mist.
Roger stood there.
His eyes were fixed on the Ether Witch.
The latter's expression changed from teasing at the beginning.
It turned into a seriousness with a hint of anger.
The two looked at each other for a while.
Roger shook his head gently:
"You are not my child."
Two blushes suddenly appeared on the witch's face.
whoosh!
A blazing fireball came flying like a shuttle.
But he was easily caught by Roger with a slap.
Crash!
Sparks flew.
Roger himself was naturally unharmed.
…
"You're very perceptive."
"I am indeed not your child."
The expression on the witch's face returned to calm.
She pulled out a flaming ribbon from the flying sparks and tied her hair up high.
While tying the knot, he said:
"But there are some memories in my mind that don't belong to me."
"Those memories were like daydreams to me, and I was puzzled by them until today, when I finally found the answer."
The witch paused.
Then he stated without any emotion:
"You fooled time."
"The Lord of Time will come after you sooner or later."
Roger looked at her in surprise.
However, he did not intend to explain that "The Legacy of Time is the compensation given to him by the Lord of Time."
About the Ether Witch.
Roger's perception is actually very complicated.
…
In terms of behavior.
She is actually the female version of Killing Mask.
The reason why the two sides have not yet reached the point of fighting each other.
It was simply because there was no conflict of status and authority between Roger and her.
But in the fight for the twelve secret keys.
The two are definitely mortal enemies.
There will inevitably be friction and collision in the future.
…
But in terms of perception.
Roger could feel many of Mystra's marks on her again.
Especially the feeling related to Yuanwang Town.
This confused Roger very much.
He wanted to clear up the confusion from the Ether Witch.
But the other person's eyes told Roger.
It is not easy to get her to cooperate.
Therefore.
He simply followed her topic and continued:
"The Lord of Time?"
“Do you know anything about Him?”
The witch frowned slightly.
She looked reluctant to answer the question at first.
But after a moment.
She answered quickly:
"The Lord of Time is the god who stands above everything else."
"Even among the gods, He is the most special one."
"In a certain version of the origin of the universe, people say that it was the Lord of Time who brought the gods to this world. After that, the gods worked hard to create the world and their genius created things, which resulted in the nine planets and the various forms of the starry sky..."
…
"The Celestial Gods?"
“Are the gods a race?”
Roger asked in surprise.
…
"God is God."
"The Celestials are the Celestials."
“Not every god comes from the God Clan, but every member of the God Clan has a very high chance of becoming a god.”
"The population of the Celestials reached tens of thousands at its peak."
"Do you think that Ao is the only one living on such a large planet?"
"Of course, within the Celestial God Clan, there are differences in the purity and concentration of blood. The purer the blood and the higher the concentration, the stronger the power and higher the qualifications. This is a very common rule."
"No matter what, the Celestial Race has a close relationship with the Celestial Gods. They are the most advanced race among the advanced races, and they are also the leader of all the races in the Celestial Realm..."
The Ether Witch answered in great detail.
It was so detailed that Roger sensed something fishy was going on.
He looked at the other person thoughtfully:
"actually……"
"I'm just asking."
"Do you have anything to ask of me?"
The witch immediately showed a very unhappy expression:
"No!"
"I just don't want to fight with you today!"
"Even if you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune, you'd better stop at the right time!"
Roger was stunned:
"How did I take advantage of someone's misfortune?"
The witch was also stunned.
Immediately.
She asked a little embarrassedly:
"You don't plan to profit from this?"
Roger fell silent.
He wondered whether he should pretend that everything was under control at this time.
But the witch is also very smart.
soon.
She realized that Roger's arrival here was really just a coincidence.
Then she looked even more ashamed and angry!
“Damn it!”
"Then why am I talking so much nonsense to you!"
"Anyway, don't get in the way!"
She pretended to leave.
whoosh!
Roger's figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
He placed his hand gently on the red moon.
A calm smile appeared on his face:
"I really didn't intend to take advantage of the situation just now."
"It doesn't mean there won't be any now or in the future."
“Shameless!”
The witch was so angry that her chest heaved and she cursed loudly.
Roger glanced at the three bodies of the Sons of Slaughter lying on the ground.
I have an idea in mind:
"Is it related to them?"
The witch looked a little confused.
Roger tried his best to make his tone more sincere.
By the way, I used "bluffing":
"Tell me what happened."
"I'm just curious about the origins and purpose of these people."
"I won't get in your way, at least not yet."
After hearing these words.
The witch looked at Roger deeply.
She seemed to be verifying the truth of these words.
After a short rest.
She spoke very quickly:
…
"Yesterday."
"Kill Mask has taken the key to the 11th history: the colorful flute."
"He manipulated the world of Yuanwang Town to integrate into the real world, but he didn't care about the life and death of this world. He only wanted to use this world with the most prosperous population as a springboard for his own advancement..."
"To this end, he dispatched thousands of Sons of Slaughter and joined forces with the shadow monsters of the White Plains to launch an inhumane hunting operation."
"These monsters will indiscriminately hunt down civilians and nobles from the world of Yuanwang Town."
"His goal is to spread fear, killing, and despair in the Pearl Plains in order to awaken the power of disaster..."
"I was delayed by something, so I just got here..."
"The world of Yuanwang Town has a special bond with me. I can't just ignore it. I must stop his conspiracy. You can't get in my way!"
"But you, aren't you the rival of the Mask of Slaughter in a power struggle? You are also the demon slayer who protects the present world. Are you so uninformed?"
…
Hear this.
Roger couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
But he soon fell into deeper thinking.
Perception aspect.
Under the statement of the Ether Witch.
The slanderous wolves were already verifying the truth of her words as quickly as possible.
If this is true.
Then the Killing Mask must have played a trick of replacing the original with the fake one in Dinosaur Villa.
…
"Killing Mask has the ability to freely enter and exit "Dinosaur Villa".
He tried to trick me into entering the Great Secret Realm before.
Maybe it was just a feint.
This will buy him the opportunity to seize the secret key to Yuanwang Town."
…
“I wasn’t fooled though.
But he also left the world for a short time.
The game between Constantine and I took some time.
If the Killing Mask's initial target was Yuanwang Town in the 11th history.
Then he was successful by accident."
…
“His thinking may not be that thorough.
Maybe he had already obtained the key to Yuanwang Town.
He just found out that I was neither in the real world nor in the secret realm, so he took the opportunity to launch the so-called "hunting plan".
It is also possible that this plan is also a trap he set for me..."
…
That moment.
Hundreds of possibilities flashed through Roger's mind.
Although the established plan has not changed.
But his inner vigilance was once again infinitely raised——
On the surface, Killer Mask appears to be a brainless and violent warrior.
In fact, he is very thoughtful.
This is not difficult to see from Ripley's performance.
Any person who is promoted should not be underestimated.
What's more, the Killing Mask itself is not weak.
There was also an immortal-level alchemist standing behind him.
The strength and foundation of the enemy camp are unprecedentedly strong.
Just think of this.
Roger looked at the Ether Witch solemnly:
“At least when it comes to dealing with the Mask of Slaughter.
You can trust me completely.
You should know the cruelty of the struggle for power.
What's more, he wants to get involved in the world of Yuanwang Town...
This is something I will not allow to happen.”
It seemed that he heard the hidden meaning in Roger's words.
The witch looked at him curiously:
"You mean... you want to form an alliance with me?"
Roger neither confirmed nor denied it.
He just answered calmly:
“The enemy of my enemy may not necessarily be my friend, but at least he is not my enemy for the time being.”
"If there is a chance to kill the Mask of Killing, you can always notify me."
The witch thought for a moment:
"Alliance is fine."
"But only temporarily."
"After I deal with the troublemaker Killer Mask, I will still settle the score with you. Don't forget, it was you who stole my Fire Tornado!"
Roger nodded calmly:
"Can."
"Then we are allies now."
"I want to know what disaster the Killing Mask you mentioned wants to awaken?"
Unexpectedly, the witch smiled cunningly:
"I answered your question before to prevent you from getting in my way."
"But now that we have formed an alliance, I certainly don't need answer so many questions for you. I am not your mother, responsible for answering all your questions..."
"Goodbye, Roger."
Speaking of.
Her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Roger frowned.
Although he could sense the direction the witch was moving.
But he still didn't go after him.
Because it is right in the witch's path.
Roger sensed some of the Son of Slaughter's aura.
"She was clearly going to kill those Sons of Slaughter, but she was being very stubborn..."
He smiled somewhat helplessly.
Now.
He kept a certain distance from the witch.
Wandering on the rich pearl plains.
Occasionally, when encountering Roger, the Son of Slaughter, he would take him down without hesitation.
Not long.
The slanderous wolf returned to Roger with new information.
Intelligence indicates.
What the witch said was true.
The man in the killing mask who is nowhere to be found is indeed planning a conspiracy that could overthrow the 11th historical world.
As for "Dinosaur Villa".
There has been no response since the last time so many people crowded into the secret realm.
I don’t know what happened inside.
…
That night.
Roger and Ripley meet outside Wildfire.
The two sides exchanged the intelligence they had obtained.
Looking at the lines of information flashing on the data bar.
Roger couldn't help but sigh that the drastic changes brought about by the planet's expansion were too overwhelming to watch.
It seems like new events are breaking out every day.
Every day a new world returns.
Innocent people die every day.
Compared to these frequent outbreaks.
There was really little Roger could do.
He can only do his best to make this world a little more stable.
So in the following days.
Roger traveled between the Wildfire Mountains and the Pearl Plains.
on the one hand.
He reached a tacit understanding with the Ether Witch.
Both sides were clearing out the lurking Sons of Slaughter as quickly as possible.
on the other hand.
Roger is still tracking the location of Constantine and Mask of Killing.
All signs indicate.
Constantine is no longer alive.
He didn't even take the initiative to display his power to interfere with the real world.
…
But the Mask of Killing is different.
His Sons of Slaughter and Army of Shadows are currently in full swing.
Even though Roger and the witch were trying to stop it.
But relatively speaking, we are alone and powerless.
In the past half month.
Hundreds of vicious massacres broke out in the eastern part of Pearl Plain, which they paid little attention to.
Many Sons of Slaughter have single-handedly carried out the heinous act of massacring entire villages.
Panic began to spread across the plains like a tide.
Face all this.
The natives of the 11th historical world were not prepared at all.
The environment in this world is too comfortable.
People have lived away from the smoke of gunpowder for a long time.
The combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
Although there are also many high-end fighters who control magic.
But they are a minority after all.
What's more, the Sons of Slaughter and the Shadow Army are all elite killers.
It is undoubtedly unrealistic to rely on the strength of the 11th Historical Community to resist this massacre.
The situation was about to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Roger even wanted to transfer people from Qingquan Sect to help.
But at this moment.
The hunters who were active on the Pearl Plains suddenly went into hiding.
These people are clearly blessed with at least semi-divine power.
Their stealth skills are amazing.
Even Roger himself showed up.
In a day, only 1 to 3 Sons of Slaughter who have revealed their true colors can be caught.
On the surface.
The Pearl Plains was temporarily settled.
But Roger could feel it.
An invisible force is being stirred.
The Sons of Slaughter's lurking is definitely for a better outbreak.
The Mask of Slaughter is planning a terrible attack in the dark.
To this.
Roger could only silently prepare his backup plan.
In fact.
In the past half month.
Roger spent most of his energy developing a battle strategy against Killing Mask.
He repeatedly simulated various battle scenarios that might break out between the two sides.
To ensure victory in the final battle.
at the same time.
He also destroyed the remaining fantasy treasure chests he had retrieved from Constantine's laboratory.
then.
on the data bar.
…
"Record: You have destroyed 1 fantasy treasure chest, and a total of 270 treasure chests have been destroyed."
…
"Your daily available number of kills has been slightly increased (currently: 100 times/day)"
…
"You have completed the 36th sin mark, and you have obtained a new specialty: plundering by trickery."
…
"Snatch and plunder: With this feat, you can steal or seize the opponent's weapons, property, equipment, treasures, clothing, props and all other personal belongings during battle!
…
in.
The determination of stealing depends on your 'Stealing' skill.
The higher the stealing skill points, the better.
The more clever you are, the higher the success rate.
The probability of obtaining high-level items is also higher.
…
The looting determination depends on your 'looting' skill.
The higher the looting skill points, the better.
The higher the success rate of the robbery.
The probability of obtaining advanced equipment is also higher.
…
Limit: 30 seconds/time"
…
Snatching by trickery is a very practical specialty.
At least its appearance made Roger's eyes light up.
In the past.
He must kill the enemy if he wants to get the loot.
A lot of times.
After the enemy dies, most of the valuable loot will be permanently locked in an encrypted storage device.
This situation was very distressing to Roger.
The emergence of "snatching" is expected to improve this situation.
in this regard.
Roger always has a sense of smell and talent beyond ordinary people——
…
"I can beat the enemy to the point of death, and then continue to rob him!"
"It's not too late to kill them after we've stolen all the valuable items!"
"Even if the enemy's dying state can't last too long, I can still give him a sip of milk. Well, the dragon priestesses finally don't have to worry about losing their jobs!"
…
Supported by the above ideas.
During this time, Roger would occasionally take time to practice his skills of "stealing" and "robbery".
Um.
The progress is quite significant.
Half a month passed.
These two skills are each increased by 10 points.
For ordinary people.
This speed is not slow.
However.
But Roger was already accustomed to the rapid growth of his skill points.
This strong contrast is somewhat difficult to bear.
Now.
He could only slack off and practice his skills on the construction site.
While praying that I will meet a good brother someday.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Another half month has passed.
A quiet afternoon.
Owl Castle.
Relic display cabinet.
Roger was quietly admiring the portrait of Sir Lanwell hanging in the central hall.
Suddenly.
A beautiful figure appeared in front of him.
Immediately following.
It's an indescribable throbbing feeling.
Roger looked up and out the window.
In the western sky.
There is an additional sea blue curtain.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have discovered the 'premonition of disaster'!"
…
"Warning: A world-destroying disaster is coming... You have discovered 'Disaster: Great Flood'!"
…
"Upgraded Perception: You have detected that the 'Goddess of Disaster' is awakening!"
…
