The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 136 Spell Absorption
Amid the sobbing of a group of mages.
Roger toured the entire Mount Truth in one go!
After leaving the library.
He rushed to the "experimental area" without stopping.
In twenty-six areas, large and small.
Roger found the place where the "Demon Martial Artist" was imprisoned.
It was a huge cage, a bit like the ancient Roman Colosseum.
The arena is surrounded by a strict physical barrier.
It can be seen that old Bud carried out a large-scale cleanup of this place after taking over.
But through extraordinary perception.
Roger still saw the bloody nail marks on the stone walls of the Colosseum.
He could feel the pain the martial artists were going through.
That is an inhuman torture!
When Roger "visited" the experimental area.
The mages were noticeably further away.
Their bodies couldn't stop shaking.
But Roger remained calm throughout.
After leaving the experimental area.
He then went to the "Dungeon Area", "Sealed Area", "Hall of Old Things" and "Hall of Truth".
To the surprise of the mages.
In this process.
Roger did not reach out again.
He just stayed outside the Temple of Truth for a while longer—
It was a not very wide square.
There are seven statues standing in the square.
He is said to be the founder of the Mountain of Truth and the six floating islands.
Six of the statues are human figures.
The last one is a familiar-looking dragon.
Roger walked around the statues several times.
After a moment.
He carried the black coffin down the Mountain of Truth.
He came with empty hands.
When I left, there were only 1,024 more books.
…
"That's right! These are the books that those stupid mages stole from our outer dojo!"
"At the time they kept saying it was a loan, but I didn't expect it would be borrowed for more than a hundred years!"
"It's a pity that I only have one head left, otherwise I would have fought them to death long ago!"
Qingquan Sect Headquarters.
In a tall attic.
Watching Roger put the more than one hundred books that originally belonged to the Qingquan Sect on the bookshelf one by one, Ah Qi burst into tears.
At this moment, she was held in Qin's arms, like a talking pumpkin.
"Ajie, how did you get these books back?"
Ah Qi couldn't help but ask.
Roger's expression was relaxed:
"Just like them, but I will pay you back tenfold."
"Well done, Ajie!"
Ah Qi blinked excitedly——
This is the only way she can express her emotions now.
…
"Done."
Roger stretched.
Sorting books is really hard work. Even with the help of Qin and Ah Qi, he was still busy for almost the entire day.
And in this process.
Ah Qi's mood changed from excitement at the beginning to worry.
She kept asking:
"Ajie, you took so many of their books. What if those wizards get angry?"
“They can’t get in the mountain protection formation, but they can block them outside!”
"I remember there was a time when they did just that."
Roger patted her head calmly:
"Don't worry, they don't dare to come to your door."
Ah Qi asked in a daze:
"Those guys are so fierce, how did you do it?"
Roger took Ah Qi's head from Qin's arms, carried her out the door, and said:
“Just be more fierce than them.
It's actually very simple to deal with bad guys.
As vicious as they are in front of the weak, they are as humble in front of the strong.
As long as you are strong enough, even if you just slap them in the face when you meet them——
They will also proactively make excuses for you and wonder if they have done something wrong.”
As they were talking, they passed through a crescent door.
Came to an open courtyard.
Roger put down Ah Qi's head and finally concluded:
"They never dare to bear grudges against the strong, but only take their anger out on the weak."
“This is what a bad guy really looks like.”
Ah Qi said "Oh" as if he understood something.
"Ajie, you talk a lot today ."
She glanced furtively at Qin who was standing next to her.
Roger put her head on the ground and took out a pile of parts and materials.
"Because I plan to reopen the Qingquan Sect dojo."
"You have to hold the scene when I'm not around."
"But before that, there is one more thing to do."
He picked and chose the parts and asked casually:
"What kind of body do you want?"
…
Red soil wasteland.
The wizards, riding on magic carpets, were patrolling the surroundings in an orderly manner.
The sky and land within a radius of 180 kilometers have been blocked.
The range of activities for wanted persons is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On a magic carpet near the north.
Fat old Bud was resting with his eyes closed while listening to his subordinates' report:
"...That's it. He borrowed more than 1,000 books, but he left the things in the old collection hall alone."
"The specific losses are still being counted..."
"This is such a shame! None of those spineless people dared to stop him. If it were me, I would risk my life to..."
Hear this.
Old Bud slowly opened his eyes:
"Well done. Those who were present at the time will all be rewarded when I return!"
"They guarded the Mountain of Truth. They are true heroes!"
"But this matter should not be publicized. The awarding of the prize must be kept low-key."
His subordinates looked stunned.
Old Bud frowned and said:
"Don't you think Mr. Hachi has been very restrained?"
The subordinate gritted his teeth:
"But……"
Before he could finish, Old Bud continued:
"If he wants to enter the Mountain of Truth, he can do so on any day. After all, this is what I promised him."
"But he chose this time of day—a time when we're all gone!"
"Can't you use your brain to think about why this is happening?"
The men began to feel confused.
Old Bud couldn't help but sigh:
"He's saving our face!"
"Whoever is there when he borrows books like this will be in trouble!"
"To stop it would mean taking the mountain of truth with him to death. To not stop it would mean losing face. Is there a third option?"
The men began to come to their senses.
He looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
Old Bud snorted:
"If it were you, you would risk your life to give up the foundation of the Truth Society, right?"
"We should be grateful when people give us a way out."
"Just pretend this never happened, and increase the honorary president's subsidy by another 30%!"
The subordinates were in trouble:
"Where does so much money come from..."
Old Bud cursed angrily:
"Give Yu Song's share to him!"
"Ah! How could I have such a stupid son like you!"
Not far away.
There was an alarm signal.
"It's Yu Song!"
Little Bud exclaimed.
"Chase!"
"Chase him to death!"
Old Bud's expression suddenly became very ferocious.
…
Qingquan Sect.
On the marble square.
A round ball rolled back and forth and finally stopped in front of Roger.
"How about it?"
"Isn't it convenient?"
Roger asked.
Ah Qi's voice came out muffled from inside:
"It's convenient, yes. But why don't I have limbs? I'm a martial artist!"
Roger calmly comforted:
"At present, I can only make the simplest spherical structure."
"But don't worry, I will be able to make more advanced constructs soon."
Ah Qi cheered and rolled wildly in the square.
After a while, her voice floated from a distance:
"Ajie..."
"How fast is soon!"
Roger glanced at the data column.
Smile but say nothing.
…
"Primary pneumatic structure production: 10/10000"
…
The next few days.
Roger is active at the Qingquan Sect headquarters.
He spends most of his time reading.
Occasionally help Ah Qi adjust his new body.
As for Qin.
Roger no longer dared to talk about martial arts in front of her.
The main reason is that I am afraid of misleading young people.
Extraordinary understanding means that as long as someone leads you in the door, you can make rapid progress.
"Kaishan Fist" can no longer satisfy the little moon bear.
Roger had no choice but to bite the bullet and pass on his mediocre "Crushing Palm".
In less than two days.
She acted very well.
See this scene.
Roger was even more cautious.
He was afraid that he had delayed the development of a true martial arts genius.
Listen to Ah Qi.
In the secret library there is a "Martial Arts Jade Slip" that can be understood without reading.
Roger was extra careful.
After finishing reading every day.
He would always tell fortunes to see how his old friend Yu Song was doing.
And after Qin joined.
The luck of Qingquan Sect has more than doubled.
Roger naturally had fewer constraints when doing divination.
not to mention.
In tracking Yu Song, he found a special technique——
It saves energy and is also very accurate.
Through day after day visits.
Roger found that Yu Song was really persistent.
Under the high-intensity siege of the mage army.
He actually persisted for almost two weeks!
…
Things started to change just thirteen days after the arrest warrant was issued.
That day.
Roger finished reading the book as usual and then made a divination.
…
"Divination: Tristan Bard's location"
…
The scene in front of me began to blur, and a bird's-eye view appeared.
The first thing that catches your eye is a long river.
The landscapes on both sides of the river are different.
Little Bard, whom Roger had locked onto through divination, was on the south bank of the river.
With him.
There is also Old Bard and other extraordinary wizards.
And the old friend Yu Song, whom Roger wanted to find, was standing on the north bank of the river!
There was a bridge between them.
Old Bud and the others seemed to want to get on the bridge.
But a tall man stopped them.
The picture slowly disappears at this point.
…
"Divination result: Tristan Bard is currently on the south bank of the Serra River Bridge."
…
"Long time no see...Alan."
See this scene.
Roger couldn't help but smile softly.
The next moment.
He put down the book in his hand and grabbed the luggage that he had prepared long ago.
Left the Qingquan Sect headquarters as quickly as possible!
…
Two nights later.
Paramount Estate.
In an abandoned farm.
The tall and thin young man who was silently healing the bruises caused by spells in the warehouse suddenly raised his head.
In the dark.
A young man carrying a black coffin on his back was striding towards him!
"It's you..."
Yu Song's eyes were filled with fear and anger:
"I've already escaped here."
"Why can't you just let me go?"
Roger didn't say anything and rushed forward at an accelerated speed!
Kaishan Fist!
His right fist, flashing with sparks, hit Yu Song's right cheek hard.
The latter's face collapsed rapidly.
It turned into pieces of broken porcelain!
"Ceramic Stand-in."
Roger snorted:
"It seems you still have a lot of cards up your sleeve."
Yu Song's voice came from all directions of the abandoned farm:
"Why do you have to force me so hard?"
"I was just warning you!"
“Is it necessary to kill them all?”
Roger stood still.
The sixth sense is on full blast!
In a moment.
He found Yu Song's location.
However, he did not act immediately, but said calmly:
"I'm curious, when you helped Milon capture and torture those martial artists, did they ever ask you for mercy?"
"And what did you do in the face of their pleas for mercy?"
“Don’t try to quibble. Old Bard gave me Milon’s experimental log.
During these years when you were not on the floating island, you spent part of your time playing the so-called God of War in Wind Chasing Trail, and the rest of your time was in the experimental field of Truth Mountain!"
"I didn't wrong you, did I?"
It was a long time later.
Yu Song's bitter voice came slowly:
"It's old Bud again... I want to skin this bastard alive!"
"Yes, it was my suggestion to arrest the martial artist..."
Roger interrupted with a sneer:
"It's good that no one is wrongly accused!"
"In fact, Milron didn't leave any experimental logs at all."
"But I suspect you've been doing this for a while."
Yu Song's voice suddenly became sharp:
"I just suggested it! I'm not an accomplice!"
"Besides, this is for the greater good..."
Roger's body suddenly swelled.
"Fuck the overall situation!"
Next second.
The second form's gigantic tail violently pierced through the ground and penetrated deeply.
After a moment.
Roger pulled the tail out with all his strength.
The soft soil was scattered all over the ground.
There was a tattered corpse on the tail.
Yu Song's head was even distorted by the thick tail.
The entire body had just been brought to the surface.
It automatically split into two halves.
…
"You killed Yu Song (Human/Super Mage/Elite)"
…
"You have successfully obtained the reward for the killing order. You have obtained the expertise from Song - Mana Nourishment. After checking, this expertise is found to be invalid. Do you want to convert it into a valid expertise?"
…
"You have acquired a new feat: Spell Draining"
"Spell Absorption (6th-level feat /Adaptive Adjustment): When you are hit by a spell, you can absorb a portion of the spell energy and convert it into a certain amount of health/stamina/energy."
…
