"Look, isn't it all quiet?"
Roger's words were still lingering.
On the mountain of truth.
The shrill alarm sounded continuously!
Cascades of defensive barriers fell down madly, trying to resist the attack from the unknown.
An extraordinary wizard who was standing on a magic carpet flew out with a pale face.
He flew around the gap in floating island No. 5 again and again.
When he returned to the barrier on Mount Truth.
His face was as white as a sheet of paper.
As far as Roger could see with his naked eyes, a large number of mages poured out from the Mountain of Truth.
They come on magic carpets or broomsticks, and they are coming with great force!
That was the mage corps that the floating island once prided itself on!
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
In chaos.
Someone is shouting loudly.
…
"I'll go communicate with them!"
Shar hurriedly said.
"Need not."
Roger slowly opened his right hand and aimed at the Mountain of Truth!
"It's noisy."
The next moment.
The alarm on the Mountain of Truth suddenly stopped!
Roger relaxed his grip slightly.
His eyes were fixed on the extraordinary wizard who was walking on the magic carpet.
Then he gently placed the index finger of his left hand on his lips.
The extraordinary wizard understood what happened in the previous moment.
He watched Roger's every move closely.
When Roger made this gesture, his heart moved and he involuntarily put his index finger on his lips.
Below him.
There were still people shouting among the mages who came out in droves:
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The extraordinary wizard was so angry that his face turned blue and red. He stepped on the magic carpet and his figure flashed -
The next second, he suddenly knocked the man unconscious with his staff.
The remaining members were suddenly at a loss.
The extraordinary wizard didn't dare to speak.
He just silently placed his index finger on his lips.
This action seems to have magic.
A member of the Mage Corps followed suit as if it were an epiphany - he placed the index finger of his left hand lightly between his lips, without making any sound.
This move is very standard.
Won the admiring gaze of the extraordinary wizard.
The others woke up one after another.
They all fell silent and put their left index fingers on their lips.
For a while.
Outside the mountain of truth.
Hundreds of elite mages were suspended in mid-air, caught in a dilemma.
They had serious expressions and were silent.
The news that Floating Island No. 5 had disappeared finally began to circulate among the wizards in a silent and encrypted form.
Their index fingers pressed to their lips.
Began to tremble slightly.
…
"Who are these people?"
Roger asked.
Shar said quickly:
"A third party, or a neutral person."
"I haven't done anything too bad, but I'm not a good person either."
Roger nodded:
"Then let them stand there for a while."
Shar looked at the extraordinary wizard silently and gave him a look.
Although the other party failed to comprehend, he still remained motionless.
The scene looked serious yet funny.
Shar wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to.
She subconsciously turned her head and looked at the profile of the man at the edge of the floating island.
The latter's expression was still so calm.
It's like doing something insignificant.
Before you know it.
Her hands rested on her hips.
His face turned red.
…
This strange scene on Mount Truth naturally caught the eyes of the residents on the surface.
As more and more people discovered the disappearance of Floating Island No. 5.
More and more people are looking up at the sky.
Later on.
Many people have forgotten the purpose of looking up at the sky.
They just looked at everyone looking up and couldn't help but look up as well.
Someone whispered:
"What the hell is wrong with you, sir? You destroyed a floating island?"
"Maybe they're doing an experiment, or some kind of ritual. How about we learn from them?"
"It's never wrong to follow the footsteps of the strong."
When these chaotic voices emerged.
Things got out of control.
More and more people began to imitate the actions of the extraordinary wizard——
With a serious expression, he nodded slightly, placed his index finger lightly on his lips, and looked straight ahead.
Up and down the floating island.
Ten thousand people point their finger.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird and funny.
…
"More than 10,000 people unconsciously imitated your actions, and you achieved a new milestone: The Will of the Strong"
"The will of the strong: Since questioning may result in bloodshed, why not just obey?"
"Corresponding title: Bully ( When facing the weak, your intimidation and bluffing +50)"
…
See this scene.
Roger also thought it was quite funny.
But he wasn't going to show up again.
In these few minutes today, I have shown off all the pretense of the past ten years.
It doesn't fit his low-key style.
Just think of this.
He turned around and put down the black coffin!
One after another, horned demons jumped out with howls.
The members of "Element Supremacy", who had long been frightened, faced the brutal invasion of the macho subordinates.
The only way left is to wait for death.
He started walking back.
Shar quickly followed.
Her movements were a little unnatural.
"Mr. Hachi..."
She asked nervously:
"What should I do?"
Roger stopped, turned around and smiled:
"Didn't you say that no one can take your masseur away from your territory?"
Shar was stunned.
Roger frowned and said:
"You're not going to fire me, are you?"
Shar's big eyes suddenly sparkled, and she replied with a faint smile:
"I think I know what to do."
Roger nodded easily.
He never looked back.
He strode towards Shar's castle.
A huge amount of information flashed across the data bar .
One of the sections is marked in red.
…
"You used Master Qufeng's Floating Cloud Palm, Mark -1"
"Reminder: Your body has been subjected to an 'immortal level' load. You are about to enter a state of weakness penalty. Duration: 7 months."
"Reminder: The damage to your right hand exceeds 70%. The recovery effect of the extraordinary body is still ongoing. The estimated natural repair time is: 36 months."
…
"Luckily, I have the strength to hold it up, so I can finish it smoothly."
In his heart, Roger thanked the gray dwarf of the swamp again.
Toughness is really useful.
She is simply his "invisible guardian"!
And this battle is over.
Roger gained numerous XP.
It's a pity that due to the distance, I can't throw the killing order, so I missed out on a lot of specialties.
Therefore, the actual benefits that Roger gained from pinching the floating island by hand were not much.
But there are still surprises.
…
That was a special notice.
…
"You killed 396 mages and destroyed Floating Island No. 5, avenging your fellow martial artists. You achieved the code of conduct of the Xiayin for the first time: to take revenge with pleasure."
"Revenge: Your chivalry value +500; your career expansion slot +1"
…
In this way.
Roger already had two expansion slots, so he had plenty of space for compatible professions.
He even had this thought:
"As long as I have enough expansion slots, I can include all powerful professions except the mage."
A hidden hero is a hidden hero, and he will do some stealing and robbing.
Stealing a career.
That's no problem at all.
…
The second is a large number of milestones.
Including a lot of weird milestones such as "Turning the World Upside Down", "Mage Killer", "Great Strength Creates Miracles", "One-Armed Youth", etc.
Their corresponding titles also inherit the same level of the milestone system.
All in all, it's outrageous.
But the milestone points they provide are still real.
Roger glanced over.
The 101-point mark is not far away.
There may be new props appearing at that time.
To this.
He is very much looking forward to it.
…
There was no more gain.
After the entire floating island was crushed.
Roger didn't see even one echo bead.
I don’t know if it’s because Master Qu Feng’s Piaoyun Palm is so powerful.
…
In the following days.
Roger began to live a reclusive life.
It wasn't long before he moved from Shar's castle back to his own home.
He also went with two carriages of books.
Roger's favorite thing to do is to improve himself during the days of recuperation.
And after that magical and funny "Index Finger Day".
The evaporation of Floating Island No. 5 has become a taboo.
The mages remained silent about this.
Others who tried to discuss the matter also received warnings from the Mountain of Truth.
As for under the floating island.
However, many strange and bizarre versions have been derived.
Some people say that on the day when floating island No. 5 disappeared, he saw the emergence of the "Cloud of Destruction", and the Gem City could not escape the disaster after all!
Some people also say.
It was the people of the Truth Society who angered the gods, and the disappearance of floating island No. 5 was just a slight punishment from the gods.
Others think.
Floating Island No. 5 did not disappear, it just became invisible.
Various versions of rumors are flying around.
After a long time.
People get used to it.
The new adventurers even thought that there should only be five floating islands on Mount Truth.
Only a small group of martial artists on the surface vaguely guessed something.
Because it’s after “Index Finger Day”.
The attitude of the people on the floating island towards them changed dramatically.
But no matter how they exhaust their imagination.
It is also impossible to figure out how floating island No. 5 disappeared out of thin air.
Gradually.
This became a strange story in the Jewel City.
And the protagonist of the story.
But he never appeared at the center of the stage.
…
Half a year later.
On floating island No. 4.
In an extremely vast manor.
Horse-drawn carriages were moving slowly on the inner road.
These luxurious carriages finally stopped at a square with a fountain.
The sorceress in a red dress opened the carriage herself.
Boxes of heavy items were skillfully carried out by the servants.
“This is this month’s subsidy.”
"From the various floating islands, and the Mountain of Truth."
On the lawn.
Shar found Roger who had just put away his book:
"Most of them are various materials, half of which are primordial stones, half are herbs, and there are even potions."
Roger shook his head:
“That’s not necessary.”
Shar laughed:
“It’s necessary.”
"If you don't accept it, they will be afraid."
Roger nodded, and then couldn't help but mocking:
"I haven't even agreed to become the "honorary president" of the Truth Society yet, but the subsidies have been coming in continuously."
"The Truth Society is really rich."
Shar said seriously:
"Of course they have an agenda."
Roger asked calmly:
"Someone is looking for you?"
Shar snorted:
"Yes. Although I have killed all the people related to Milon and Old Thomas, there is still one fish that slipped through the net - that is Little Thomas."
"He didn't go to Floating Island No. 5 that day. Later I found out that he was hiding in the Mountain of Truth."
"The current president, Bud, is a good man. He told me that he couldn't bear to kill a child, so he asked me to ask if little Thomas could be your adopted son."
Adopted son?
Is this the legendary recognizing a thief as a father?
Roger almost laughed out loud.
These mages have quite unique ideas.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a last resort.
Roger yawned:
"How did you handle it?"
Shar smiled gently:
"I told him directly that if he was unwilling to be decent himself, someone would help him be decent."
"Little Thomas' death was not painful at all."
Roger nodded.
This is what he admires most about Shar.
Smart enough.
Smart and capable.
And he is very obedient.
This is enough for Roger.
The two chatted for a while.
Finally.
Roger says:
"Go tell Bud that I agree to become their "Honorary President."
"But the prerequisite is that I have to enter the Mountain of Truth once."
…
That night.
Roger sat in the room and silently activated the "Detention of the Undead".
The charming soul Korra appeared quietly.
"Owner!"
"I convinced Marlena!"
"She agreed to be summoned by you."
There was unconcealable joy in her tone.
…
