…
The night deepens.
The moon remains bright.
Roger walked slowly down the hillside that smelled of pleasant green grass.
Her face was covered with a light veil.
His manners are so elegant that they don't seem like those of an ordinary person.
The experience was both intoxicating and terrifying.
She tried her best to restrain herself from exploring more secrets of this body.
Fortunately, amidst the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, there were always some noises that distracted Roger's attention——
Ever since Roger left Changsheng Village.
There are always a few auras following in secret.
But they didn't dare to show up.
Roger had no intention of pursuing the matter forcefully.
After all, for them.
The God's Messenger may determine to some extent whether they can continue to follow the 'Dragon of Time and the Universe'.
It's normal to care about yourself.
But the current situation of Changsheng Village still caused Roger great vigilance.
The reason is very simple.
It’s so beautiful here!
After a series of events.
Roger instinctively developed a conditioned reflex to all good things——
He knew very well that among the nine planets today.
The existence of beauty itself is a paradox!
All things that look good.
Or it's a pit.
Or it's a bigger pit.
…
He wandered around outside the village for two hours.
After failing to obtain more useful clues.
So he returned to the village under the cover of night.
The structure of the houses in Changsheng Village is very simple, similar to the houses in ancient Chinese rural areas in my memory.
Roger walked through the narrow streets.
His eyes were looking in all directions.
She saw people sleeping soundly, she saw the chickens and dogs in the small courtyard, she saw the well at the entrance of the street, and she also saw the huge stone mill.
Like a ghost, traveling through this peaceful scene.
Roger finally arrived at a newly built house.
Compared with the surrounding farmhouses.
This room looks very abrupt.
It is three times taller than an ordinary farmhouse and covers a very large area, almost as large as the courtyards of several ordinary families.
Roger hadn't come close yet.
A faint scent of incense wafted in from inside.
No need to be reminded by others.
She also knew that this was the temple built by the people of Changsheng Village for the Dragon of Time and the Universe.
Compared to other temples Roger had seen.
The temple looked mediocre and bleak.
But Roger sensed the wisdom and strength of the residents of Changsheng Village.
This perception has traces.
The people who built this temple.
If you put too much energy and enthusiasm into the work process.
Their emotions and voices will be unconsciously integrated into the building.
Leaving traces and imprints.
These marks are very faint.
Of course ordinary people can't perceive it.
But as the holder of perceived authority.
Roger knew this all too well.
…
"Did I blame them wrongly?"
"It really looks like there's nothing wrong..."
There is always a faint doubt in my mind.
Roger walked into the temple.
The structure inside the temple is pretty much as expected.
In addition to the spacious main hall, there is an incongruous but tall and mighty statue of the god.
The architectural style of the rest of the place is consistent with that of the farmhouses in the village.
Simple, but sincere.
This is Roger's general impression of the temple.
Same as everywhere else.
Roger still couldn't find anything unusual in the temple.
But just as they were about to leave the temple.
She bumped head-on into the hunchbacked old man.
Even though the other party had taken off the mask.
But Roger still recognized him at a glance——
He is the high priest of the Advent ceremony!
…
"God's envoy..."
The high priest's lips moved slightly, as if he was too excited.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Roger asked calmly.
I don't know why.
She felt that her voice was a little too charming.
So she repeated:
"What's up?"
This time her voice became extremely rough.
It is especially noticeable in the quiet night.
The high priest was shocked.
He said tremblingly:
"You haven't seen the sacrifices we prepared for the great gods."
"Then let's take a look..."
Roger made a cold sound.
The high priest led the way.
It wasn't long before Roger was brought to the back of the temple.
There is an ancient well here.
The high priest found a bucket from the side.
After lowering it with a rope.
He fiddled in the well for a while.
Not long.
The bucket was pulled up.
There was actually an exquisite little sword inside!
…
Roger took the small sword from the old man.
on the data bar.
…
"Sword of Wisdom: Unopened Artifact (Dusty State)
…
Special Effect 1: Wisdom Light
…
Wisdom Light: The power of the Wisdom Light Sword depends on the amount of Wisdom Light.
The amount of wisdom light depends on the intelligence of the sword wielder.
When your intelligence is less than 25 points.
You can only unleash the power of the Sword of Wisdom itself.
About 18 rings.
And when your intelligence is higher than 25 points.
Each additional point increases intelligence.
The Wisdom Light Sword will then have an extra ray of wisdom light.
And every time a ray of wisdom is added.
The power of this sword will be doubled.
…
Note: The Wisdom Light Sword itself carries a ray of Wisdom Light.
…
Special Effect 2: Workaround
…
Modification: The damage of the Sword of Wisdom can be freely adjusted between 99% spell damage/1% physical damage and 0% spell damage/99% physical damage;
At the same time, it can also transform from a pure air sword into a magic sword..."
…
A very clean sword.
This was Roger's first impression of it.
In perception.
The small sword in front of me was in an excited state trying to break free from its restraints.
It is small in size but sharp in texture.
Roger took it in his hands and rubbed it.
I could feel its sharpness very intuitively.
If it weren't for the fact that the sword was wrapped in a layer of faint gray light.
This body had already been cut and blood was flowing everywhere.
…
From the perspective of special effects.
The mechanics of this sword are also very strange.
It's obviously a sword.
But it is necessary to increase its power by stacking intelligence.
Isn’t this too unreasonable?
"A wizard like Bigley would be ecstatic when he sees this sword..."
Roger thought to himself.
He made a rough estimate.
Just brush on 3 rays of wisdom.
The regular attack of the Huiguang Sword is equivalent to the attack of a level 199 macho man.
And above 4.
It’s God!
The corresponding value is 28 points of intelligence.
For Roger.
Intelligence is actually not difficult to acquire.
As long as you successfully break through to immortality.
The nine major attributes were eventually reduced to the bottleneck of 30 points of the gods, which was their fate!
From this point of view.
The Sword of Wisdom is still quite valuable in Roger's hands.
But what Roger appreciated more was the second special effect.
This thing can actually freely adjust the damage nature and weapon category.
This is the first time Roger has seen such a flexible bottom line standard!
"It's very suitable for tricking people!"
There was a gleam in Roger's eyes.
…
Roger was observing Xiaojian.
The high priest explained its origin and background.
According to the description of the high priest.
The Sword of Wisdom is the ancestral treasure of the high priest.
His ancestor was a powerful Qi cultivator.
Because he is very good at refining various treasures.
So he left a lot of legacy to future generations.
But most inheritances are squandered over the long years because of their usable value.
The only sword left was this one, and no one knew how to use it.
I can only say it's fate.
He told Roger.
The Wisdom Light Sword is currently in a 'dusty state'.
This is because no one in the village can tame the wisdom light that comes with the artifact.
But the great time is different from the dragon of the universe!
The high priest was convinced.
The god you believe in can wield this sword easily.
This freed the Huiguang Sword from its dusty state.
Blooming with brighter light.
This can be considered a development for Changsheng Village, which has now completely declined.
…
The high priest was very talkative.
Roger simply took this opportunity to chat with him for a while.
During the chat.
Roger found that the old man spoke steadily and in a very organized manner.
This shows that he has a clear mind.
Although I am very old.
But he's in good spirits.
There was not the slightest bit of abnormality in his words or actions.
Regarding Roger's question.
He always answers quickly.
There is no logical contradiction between the words.
This situation alleviated some of Roger's doubts.
"Perhaps the existence of Changsheng Village is really just a matter of luck..."
Thinking like this.
He then asked about the situation of everyone in the village.
The high priest obviously knew the village well.
He told Roger the situation of every household in the village in great detail.
Roger listened carefully.
Then make a careful comparison with what you have observed.
In the end, it was a perfect match.
…
The night deepens.
The old man's face showed fatigue.
Roger lingered no longer.
He slowly left the temple accompanied by the high priest.
But before leaving.
He suddenly turned around and asked the high priest: "By the way, how many people are there in the village?"
The high priest answered without thinking: "There are 588 people in Changsheng Village. Three elderly people passed away in the past two days, otherwise the population should be 591. What a pity..."
After listening to this, Roger nodded thoughtfully.
Then walk away quickly.
…
In the next few days.
Roger was wandering around Changsheng Village.
He always kept a certain distance from the villagers.
He observed the situation in the village as a high-ranking god's messenger.
During this period.
He gradually let down his guard.
The villagers of Changsheng Village are quite simple.
Although the people are martial.
And most people have been dealing with martial arts since childhood.
But bullying rarely happens.
This aspect is related to the harsh external environment.
on the other hand.
It is probably because the villagers of Changsheng Village never practice martial arts to a deep level.
Roger noticed.
At most, they would stop practicing until they reached the edge of Qi.
This is the ancestral motto of the village.
After all, whether it is a Qigong practitioner or a martial artist.
In today's Tyrodar, these are all extremely high-risk occupations.
They can easily be infected and become monsters.
Therefore, martial arts can only be used for self-defense.
But it cannot be used to refine Qi.
The high priest told Roger that this ancestral precept had saved Changsheng Village countless times.
In his memory.
Many cities or villages near Changsheng Village have experienced horrific wars that broke out due to martial artists or qigong practitioners going astray.
These gathering places, whether prosperous or remote, were not destroyed by external natural disasters.
Most of them were defeated by internal human disasters——
In those places.
Even everyone knows the harm of anger.
But there are still people who can't resist the desire for power.
Continue practicing secretly.
The result is that one person becomes obsessed.
A city was reduced to ashes!
…
For comparison.
Changsheng Village has continued to this day.
It depends on firm and peaceful demarcation of boundaries.
But this move also has drawbacks.
It directly led to the complete isolation of the residents of Changsheng Village from the word masters.
Before that.
They had several precedents where the entire village was hunted down by high-level monsters.
In the face of the opponent's overwhelming strength.
Changsheng Village was on the verge of destruction several times.
They fled in panic.
Many innocent lives were lost as a result.
…
Roger was actually very curious about this process.
He had asked the high priest how they had found this place.
After all, before they prayed to themselves.
It seems that he has fallen to the point where he can only hide deep in the bunker and wait for the monster to leave .
The high priest told Roger.
In the bunker where I was previously committed.
After they ate all the food.
I managed to hold on for more than a week just by drinking water.
It was during this period that they formally offered their "conversion prayer" to Roger.
Something magical happened.
Just after conversion.
The group of monsters wandering outside the bunker disappeared completely!
Seeing this.
After repeatedly checking the truth.
The young and middle-aged men in the village hurriedly left the bunker.
Go out into the wilderness to look for food and water.
One of the teams happened to reach the end of the dead riverbed.
There they found a strange hill.
The hill is not high.
But the fog is thick.
When they were fetching water from the mountain, they found an extremely narrow entrance.
There is a stream flowing out at the entrance.
Driven by curiosity.
They entered the belly of the hill.
The result was unexpected.
They actually discovered a real paradise here!
This is where Roger lives now.
After exploration.
The people of Changsheng Village confirmed that the world in the belly of the mountain is actually a naturally formed demiplane.
Its entrance is embedded in the hill.
Apart from this, he has nothing to do with Tarodar.
The air here is very clean.
No distorted matter.
There are no hateful monsters either.
The climate here is very livable.
The land is even more fertile.
Very suitable for agricultural planting.
The people of Changsheng Village, who had finally struggled out of despair, settled down here.
It didn't take long.
They made this place look prosperous.
…
Since the whole thing happened after the high priest's prayer to Roger.
Therefore, the villagers attributed the discovery of the paradise to the great "Dragon of Time and Space".
Their faith is so devout.
Roger couldn't find any flaws at all.
In fact, they are the believers and followers of the little snake.
Whether it is the high priest or other people in Changsheng Village.
It was difficult for them to hide it from Roger.
If they are lying.
Then Roger could see it at first glance.
Because faith cannot be faked!
…
After listening to the high priest's description.
Roger's focus naturally shifted from Changsheng Village to the demiplane.
But if you just explore from the inside.
Roger couldn't find anywhere to start.
So he found an opportunity to ask the high priest to let him go outside to take a look.
Who knows after hearing this.
The high priest shook his head frantically.
And pleaded bitterly like Roger:
…
"My Lord God!
The world outside is full of monsters and monsters, it's very scary!
With the power of Lord God, he is naturally not afraid of those monsters.
But the wilderness is strange and unpredictable.
No one can tell whether those great demons wandering around Dragon City will come over...
Moreover, Changsheng Village has been struggling in despair for too long.
The people in the village have longed for this kind of peaceful life for a long time.
To prevent complications.
We have completely blocked the entrance with rocks.
If you try to force it open from the inside, it might make a lot of noise, which is more likely to attract monsters. Look at this..."
…
Then he suddenly knelt down:
…
"Please, Lord God's Messenger, no matter what you want to do, we dare not disobey you, but for the sake of the lives of the 533 people in our Changsheng Village, please do not leave, I beg you..."
…
The high priest repeated his request over and over again.
Roger couldn't help but frown.
He could understand the high priest's fear of Telodal.
But this reaction is too exaggerated.
Even the entrance was completely sealed.
What if something unexpected happened to that half plane afterwards?
Doesn't that mean there is no way to escape?
But he didn't say these words in front of the old man.
She just responded calmly.
After saying that he would not leave, he turned and walked away.
But before she took a few steps out.
Her body suddenly trembled slightly.
A strong palpitation emerged in Roger's heart——
It can’t be wrong!
That feeling can’t be wrong!
Someone has paralyzed his mind!
This paralysis is not blinding or modification, but a temporary deviation!
It will make you ignore some details that you would not normally ignore...
Even though Roger has realized this, he still has no way to quickly find the information he wants from the myriad of clues!
"Data bar!"
“Only the data column is the most objective!”
Roger's mind gradually became clear.
His eyes moved back and forth over the complicated information on the data column.
After a few seconds.
He turned around and looked at the high priest who was full of relief and asked:
“How many people are there in our village?”
The high priest answered without thinking: "497 people. It's a pity that a few people died a few days ago, otherwise there would still be 500 people..."
"497?"
Look at the records on the data column.
Roger's expression didn't change at all.
From 609 when he first came to the world to 588 later.
Then came 533.
So much so that now it’s 497!
The population of the Changsheng Village mentioned by the high priest is constantly decreasing.
Where are those people!
Where are the people?
…
It's time.
The high priest seemed to realize something?
A trace of pain gradually emerged on the old man's numb expression: "Lord God's Messenger..."
Roger ignored him.
She rushed to the village temple as fast as she could.
The temple backyard.
Next to the ancient well.
Roger followed the old man's method and threw a wooden barrel into the well, then fished it back and forth for a while.
Not long.
He lifted it with force.
A small sword suddenly appeared in the bucket.
Just this time.
Next to the small sword lies a short sword case!
…
"Hint: You found the sword case of the Wisdom Sword..."
…
"Warning: You sense great malice in the sword box..."
…
Looking at the high priest who hurried over.
Roger's eyes gradually turned cold:
"Is this what you are going to offer to God?"
The high priest was stunned for a moment.
Then he nodded and said, "Yes, it is this Huiguang Sword. Oh, yes, there is also a sword case, but that is not important..."
Roger's eyes were fixed on him.
Seeing his expression, he didn't want to do anything.
Then I realized that the high priest really thought that this sword box was unimportant!
Roger realized something quickly.
He suddenly threw away the sword case in his hand!
Next second.
A dark blue light burst out from the inside of the sword case.
A ball of rotten flesh as big as a baby emerged from the blue light.
Then a deep voice sounded:
"You still found me..."
On the data bar
…
"Warning: You have discovered the evil seal of the abyss..."
…
"Warning: The Abyss Evil Seal is trying to infect your body..."
…
