…
Stalactite area.
Roger walked like a ghost over the uneven gravel.
The double upgrade of agility and perception gave him the ability to run on any terrain as if it were flat ground.
Ten seconds later.
He crossed an open underground riverbed.
Arrived near the hidden place of the dwarf settlement.
Maybe it was to avoid being hunted down by Ai Mohua.
The dwarves chose the most complex geothermal area in the underground city.
This place not only has a stalactite forest formed by flowing water.
The intermittent white mist and the steaming hot springs all indicate that this place is not far from the magma belt.
That's why.
"Infrared Perception", an ability common among underground races, does not work.
But in this environment.
The survival of the dwarves themselves also faces a great challenge.
Bad climate.
A treacherous underground monster.
There is also lava that may erupt at any time!
The more Roger looked, the more frightened he became.
"It's really not easy for these dwarves to survive until now!"
Ready to pinch the neck of a two-headed snake emerging from the hot river.
He looked at the drop of pus and blood with some emotion.
He patted his sleeves:
“Historical knowledge is still useful.”
"Who would have thought that the Red Valley Alchemists were actually a group of dwarves in disguise?"
"Cindy may not know this secret either..."
After clearing the obstacles.
Roger took a long stride forward.
I didn't walk many steps.
His ears twitched slightly.
There was a slight commotion near the cliff ahead.
It seems like someone is fighting!
Roger suddenly focused his sight.
Vertical pupils quietly emerged.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You used the specialty 'Pupil Technique: Absolute Insight'!"
…
"You discovered the original dwarf*4"
…
"You found a mutant caveman*12"
…
Outside the shallow cave entrance.
Clusters of fungi emitting white glow floated by silently.
The only light came in.
On the cliff, a group of dark shadows were illuminated, struggling wildly with each other.
One of them was the dwarves that Roger was looking for.
On the other side was a group of hideous-looking, deformed cave dwellers with strong upper limbs!
Roger tried throwing a sin marker over.
In the field of vision.
A bright sign immediately appeared on the caveman’s forehead!
…
"It's a monster!"
Roger said nothing.
With a wave of his hand.
The invisible sword of magnetic light pierced into the cave like a dragon emerging from the sea.
Puff.
The caveman who was leaning on the outside of the cave fell to the ground with a loud thud!
…
"Hint: You killed an alienated caveman."
…
"Your chest muscles have been slightly improved."
…
"Fate Dice: Sin Mark has been refreshed!"
…
"Your casting speed has been slightly increased."
…
"Huh?"
"Why do cavemen give casting speed?"
Roger was delighted at first.
Immediately, I was a little confused.
These cave dwellers don't look particularly smart, do they?
But since it gives good attributes.
Roger had absolutely no reason to refuse.
Although most of Jade Phoenix's spells are instant.
Doesn't depend much on casting speed.
But most of still require chanting time.
An increase in casting speed is never a bad thing.
In terms of this attribute.
Roger's only concern is whether he can gather so many "alienated cavemen"!
after all.
It seems that there are not enough good brothers around here.
The above thought just came to mind.
Roger killed all the cave dwellers inside and outside the cave.
Before the dwarf inside could come out cautiously to investigate the situation.
He has already disappeared quickly!
Roger certainly didn't want to do good deeds without leaving a name.
He just wandered around the neighborhood.
Until all the alienated cave dwellers in the stalactite area were killed.
Roger turned back.
And in this process.
His concerns were indeed confirmed.
The reproductive status of cavemen is indeed worrying.
Looking at the data on the progress bar which is less than 3%.
He was almost tempted to use the Zeroing Knife!
only.
Casting speed is not a T1-level attribute for Roger, who is still in the spell desert.
Using the Zero Knife for a group of cavemen.
Obviously too wasteful.
"unless……"
"I can make the Zero Blade completely my own!"
"Why."
"I wonder what's happening with Sophia!"
When I think of that girl from the God Clan.
Roger felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, his mind didn't wander for too long.
After returning to the cliff area.
He ran into the group of dwarves.
However, the process of contact between the two parties was not very pleasant——
At least it was beyond Roger's expectations.
He thought.
I killed the cave dwellers who were fighting for their nests for them.
The dwarves were at least friendly.
But the reality is.
The dwarves saw Roger coming over.
However, they pointed their inferior weapons at him with a very bad attitude.
Very quickly.
All the nearby dwarves rushed over.
They stared at Roger warily.
Without saying a word.
Roger read hatred in their eyes.
So I tried to communicate.
But something even stranger happened.
In the face of Roger's sincere attitude.
None of the dwarves responded.
The dwarves seemed not to have heard Roger's voice at all.
Not prepared to say anything.
That's how they stared at Roger.
Once there is any unusual movement in the latter.
It was as if he was going to fight to the death.
It's a very bad feeling.
Roger's social incompetence had no effect on these dwarves.
They are like individuals living in their own world...
It is completely isolated from the outside world!
…
"Complete isolation?"
"Are all of them deaf and dumb?"
Roger's heart moved.
On the surface.
He raised his hands and sat on the ground.
secretly.
The sense of authority spread rapidly.
His action had some effect.
Some of the dwarves laid down their weapons.
The others looked at him with confusion and puzzlement.
After a few seconds.
There was indeed movement in the data column!
…
"Upgraded Perception: You realize that the 'Original Dwarves' cannot hear your voice;
They can’t even speak!”
…
“Historical knowledge: The original dwarves are the descendants of stone spirits and dragon spirits.
They have a thin layer of spirit blood.
Possessing genius creativity and extraordinary vitality.
But he couldn’t speak and his ears couldn’t hear.
It is difficult for them to communicate with outsiders…”
…
Roger looked at the historical knowledge that he "realized belatedly" in silence.
What have you been doing so far?
I have to wait until I can sense and find some clues before I can provide more information!
This is somewhat of a hindsight comment!
But Roger knew it too.
My historical knowledge is purely acquired through brushing.
There isn't much of an impression in my mind.
Relevant information will only appear when certain mechanisms are triggered.
If I could further master the triggering mechanism of historical knowledge.
It may be easier to search.
Anyway.
Now we have finally figured out the problem of these original dwarves.
Roger thought for a moment.
His eyes swept over the dwarves.
Finally choosing the one who looked the most pleasing to the eye - well, actually the dwarf with the highest perception - Roger waved to him in a friendly manner.
And before this action.
He has already unlocked all the charm-related specialties——
"Upgraded charm" + "Stunning beauty"!
The effect is immediate.
Although these dwarves did not let down their guard immediately.
But everyone suddenly had the thought, "This guy is so good-looking, he must not be a bad guy, right?"
Under the influence of charismatic authority.
These thoughts not only became stronger and stronger.
And it created a slight resonance.
Not long.
The dwarves were much less wary of Roger.
The dwarf chosen by Roger ran over with a happy face.
Roger gestured gently for a moment.
final.
With the other party's consent.
He grasped the dwarf's thick hand.
The power of perception surged between the two.
Not long.
A wonderful bridge similar to a supersensory link was established between Roger and the dwarf!
At that moment.
Suddenly, a voice came to Roger's ears:
"Wow! What a handsome human!"
"Is he a god?"
"Even if he's not, he definitely can't be a bad guy!"
That is the voice of the dwarves.
Roger kept smiling.
But I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
fortunately.
My perception is good enough.
Not to mention the descendants of Shi Ling.
Where conditions permit.
Roger can even hook up rocks and plants!
Now.
He used this bridge to convey his identity and origins to the dwarves.
If the power of charm only made the dwarves obsessed with Roger's beauty.
Then after learning that the handsome man in front of him was the famous demon slayer of the two stars.
The dwarves completely let down their guard.
They welcomed Roger's arrival with great enthusiasm——
This is the benefit of having a very high reputation.
After resolving the crisis of trust.
Roger got straight to the point.
He wants to learn the truth about Red Valley from the dwarves!
The original dwarves were speechless.
But they have a unique network of spiritual communication under the protection of the stone spirits.
Roger opened one of the bridges.
It's like joining a chat group with all the dwarves.
Now.
The dwarves complained to each other one by one.
The scene was chaotic.
But Roger quickly extracted useful information from it!
…
According to the dwarves.
The Red Valley Alchemist Association originated from a prank attempt.
In those distant times.
Thanks to the protection of stone spirits and dragon spirits.
The original dwarves lived happily in an underground city called "Red Valley".
They don't know any magic.
But it has master-level sculpture and forging skills.
But because of isolation from the world.
No one knew that there was such a talented race active in the Red Valley.
Until the advent of "StarNet".
…
In this area.
The information Roger received was rather messy.
After all, the dwarves in front of us are just descendants of Red Valley.
The information they tell is just what has been passed down from generation to generation for countless epochs.
It is normal to have some mistakes and omissions.
But Roger was sure of one thing.
"Starnet" was the carrier of all the god games of that era.
Through the StarNet node.
Everyone can log in to a series of divine games.
that's all.
The original dwarves, who were unable to communicate with outsiders in reality, logged into the Star Network.
And created the brilliant Red Valley Alchemist Association in a special two-dimensional world.
Dwarves do not possess any magical abilities in reality.
But in the game.
They possess powerful magical abilities.
Based on this, a series of imaginative props were created.
Very quickly.
Honggu became the most powerful force in that world.
If there was no curse of emptiness.
Dwarves may still be calling the shots in the gaming world today.
pity.
After the Battle of the Sky-Splitting.
A god named "Pandora" released the "Aetherial Curse".
She wants to turn reality into a game.
Gaming becomes reality.
Here there was a little episode that seemed quite outrageous to Roger.
According to the dwarves.
That Pandora god is Red Valley's advisor.
And the reason why she released the Aetherial Curse was very absurd.
I actually feel that games are more interesting than reality.
She was tired of the real life.
So the bizarre idea of ​​completely replacing reality with games came up!
Roger didn't believe this rumor.
He didn't believe that a god could be so stupid to do such a thing...
But no matter what.
The Aetherial Curse incident still happened.
This incident had a great impact on the fate of the original dwarves.
After the two-dimensional world collapses.
The StarNet also disappeared completely.
The 'network-less' dwarves return to Red Valley.
Not long.
These dwarves who claimed in the "chat group" that they wanted to live a peaceful life have changed their minds.
They had severe withdrawal symptoms.
Some dwarves proposed to rebuild the star network.
Most people applauded.
Only a very small number of people expressed opposition.
So.
A project emerged that attempted to replace the original two-dimensional world.
The original dwarves at that time were very powerful.
After the curse incident, they came out with a lot of wonderful props that can be used in reality.
These props played an indispensable role in the reconstruction of the star network and the game world.
But it also laid the groundwork for the tragedy of the original dwarves.
…
In a large underground cave.
The dwarf elder led Roger to view the stone murals and milestones.
Roger glanced over.
I then understood it roughly.
The content of the mural is concise and easy to understand.
It was probably the dwarves who tried to rebuild the star network that attracted the powerful enemy from the abyss.
A highly disciplined demon army landed at the star network node.
It caught them off guard.
To deal with demonic invaders.
Honggu paid a very painful price.
In the end they defeated the group of demons.
But it also seriously damaged his vitality.
The most important thing.
In that battle.
The super creature 'Stone Spirit' that had been protecting the original dwarves fell.
Only 'Dragon Spirit Asiya' was left alive.
And the latter.
After a thousand years, it was corrupted into a monster due to the infiltration of distorted matter.
That is the Red Dragon Queen mentioned by Emil Hua!
…
So far.
The original dwarves fell into complete decline.
The remaining dwarves learned from their mistakes.
They sealed up all the most precious treasures they had.
From then on, the peaceful life of isolation from the outside world that had lasted for generations was restored.
With the help of various wonderful alchemical props.
This tranquility lasted for a long, long time.
Until more than 30 years ago.
The dwarves fished out a dying human adventurer from an underground river.
His name is——
…
"Emery"
…
After Ai Mohua woke up.
An alien version of the story of the farmer and the snake was successfully staged.
Through various means.
He stole the power of the Red Valley Alchemist.
And with the help of internal and external forces, many underground humans were brought in.
They controlled the monsters and drove away the dwarves.
Then he began to try to seize the most precious treasure of the original dwarves -
That is the sealed "Secret Vault No. 1"!
…
…
On the cliff.
Roger silently comforted the dwarves who were trapped in painful memories.
His brain was repeatedly sorting out the huge amount of information he had just obtained.
But at this moment.
The wolf cub sent out to follow Emilhua started to move.
Roger changed the view.
But all I saw was a dull gray-green color.
A greasy middle-aged man was chatting and laughing with Emil Hua by the campfire!
…
"Hint: You found your old friend 'Brandon'"
…
