…

“Get lost!”

"Evil beast!"

"Don't interfere with my practice!"

In the sewer.

Roger angrily removed the sin mark.

Looking at the dense sea of insects.

He became furious and started another fire.

Not long.

All the Black Stone Beetles were burned to death.

After calming down, Roger began to feel sorry for the two bottles of "Dragon Fat Fire" that he had worked so hard to get!

All these assets were accumulated for Roger by the Thunder Dragon laying eggs one by one.

It's a shame to waste it on such a worthless monster.

Just think of this.

Roger decisively retreated from the sewers of the new city.

But when leaving.

Roger met a group of very young adventurers.

It seems that they were commissioned to clean up the Black Stone Beetles in the sewer.

But what is more unusual is this.

Roger sensed a hint of divine power in them.

The young men quickly disappeared from his sight.

Roger hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he did nothing and returned to the surface.

…

The ground in the new city area is very clean.

Because this area was the least affected during the Demon Tide.

Therefore, the efficiency of post-disaster reconstruction is also the highest.

To this day.

Roger walked on the clean and open streets.

There wasn't even a trace of the demonic tide.

Compared with the old town which inherited the floating island architectural style.

The architectural style of the new town is clearly closer to the Talen period.

There are many "dojos" on both sides of the main road.

There are often people coming out of the gym to recruit disciples.

Occasionally, people would exchange skills on the streets.

But they are all just enough.

This is very different from Sunrise or Old Town, where gangs are rampant.

As far as Roger knows.

Before the "Index Finger Day" incident, the New Town District was also a hotbed of gang activity;

But after that, the forces from the floating island voluntarily withdrew from the area.

This provides a broad stage for martial artists to be active.

Roger could feel it.

In this new land.

An ancient power is thriving.

I believe that it won’t be long before a martial artist who has mastered “Chi” will appear.

Then more and more people will join the ranks of martial artists.

Brilliant by Tarun.

It will usher in a new round of revival after hundreds of years of silence.

Regarding this situation.

Roger was pleased to see it happen.

He will give a push when the time is right.

But not now.

“Now is not the time to reopen the dojo and declare to the world that martial artists are back in force.”

"The martial artists' strength is still shallow and needs more accumulation."

"What's more...it seems that there are other forces eyeing this land."

At the junction of the new city and the old city.

Roger stopped his hurried steps.

Under the old locust tree in front.

Surrounded by people in twos and threes.

A man in black with his back straight was saying something in a friendly manner.

Roger leaned over.

I found out that he was actually "preaching".

…

He was a middle-aged man with an honest look.

His tone was sincere and warm, giving people a sense of sincerity:

"As everyone knows, more and more "Withering Cultists" have emerged in the southern cemetery in recent weeks."

"Those cultists claim that Mystra is showing signs of destruction. Everything will fall into the hands of the 'Lord of Withering', and everything in the world will eventually decay..."

"Although this statement is absurd, if ten thousand people believe and spread it, then the coming of the King of Withering may indeed come true - this is the power of faith!"

"Faced with this situation, shouldn't we do something? We must resist the power of the Withered King!"

"Come and join the 'New Year Church' of the 'God of Farming and Raising'!"

Speaking of this.

His tone became high and excited, and there were tears in his eyes:

"Faced with the threat of evil gods, we must praise life and promote reproduction!

NewSpring Church is our best choice.

The "God of Farming and Animal Husbandry" holds the authority over the continuation of the species and the resurrection of all things.

This is the enemy that the "Withered King" fears the most.

Believe in Him.

He will make your farms abundant and your offspring prosperous.

Believe in Him.

He will protect you and your family from the troubles of etheric distortion..."

The middle-aged man's speech was truly moving.

On Roger's data column.

…

"Extraordinary Perception: You perceive that Father Versailles' preaching skill is 250 points.

This is a level that is enough to move most people.”

…

However, a magical scene happened.

Except for a few guys who Roger thought were hired as agents and cried out to join the "New Spring Church".

The rest of the people looked indifferent.

Roger looked at the onlookers with interest:

These people are either martial artists.

Or a martial artist's family.

They seemed to have little interest in the sermons at Versailles.

"If you are not interested, why are you wasting time hanging around here?"

Roger was curious.

After a while.

No one else came forward to express his willingness to join.

The scene was a little cold.

Versailles' eyes swept across everyone present.

Finally, he announced helplessly:

"Everyone who joins the New Spring Church will receive 20 ears of corn and 4 pumpkins as church benefits."

"And every Sunday and on celebration days there will be free meat for believers to eat at their feasts."

“But one thing must be stated in advance: you cannot join today and quit tomorrow!”

This time.

The onlookers finally perked up.

A large number of people rushed forward.

They surrounded the priest of Versailles in three layers.

Inquiries are overwhelming:

"Can I get 40 ears of corn and 8 pumpkins?

Reason? Need a reason?

Forehead.

I weigh twice as much as a normal church member.

It's reasonable to receive double the benefits, right?"

…

"Monsieur Versailles!

Can I get a piece of clothing like the one you are wearing if I join the club?

or.

You can also take this off and give it to me.

No need to take it off, no need to take it off.

I can do it myself!"

…

"Father!

When is the next believers' feast?

Can I bring my children to participate?

sure?

Then I would like to thank you on behalf of my 39 children!

Mr. Priest!

Why did you faint?"

…

Accompanied by the sudden fainting of Father Versailles.

The scene became even more chaotic.

Roger smiled, shook his head and left.

The down-to-earth scene just now was just a small episode on his hunting trip for him.

In his perception.

The "God of Farming and Animal Husbandry" shouldn't be some evil god.

So there is no need to intervene for the time being.

After leaving the new city area.

Roger quickened his pace.

Not long.

He came to the exit of the old town.

There.

He joined up with the horned demons who had been waiting for a long time.

I got on the "bus" that slowly drove towards the "red soil wasteland".

…

8 days later.

The edge of the red wasteland.

Under the sharp sword light.

A giant ant with black smoke all over its body broke into pieces.

…

"You killed 1 torch ant."

"Your freckle count has slightly increased ."

…

"unlucky!"

Roger shook his head slowly.

After the demonic tide.

The monsters in the red soil wasteland have ushered in a new round of renewal.

Roger thought that the new monsters here would give him some surprises.

I didn't expect that in the end I would be left with nothing but shock.

39 different monsters.

The attributes given are worse than each other!

In comparison.

The freckles given by the "Torch Ant" are already considered a neutral attribute!

I can only say that after countless expectations were dashed.

Roger was heartbroken to the point of being numb.

They say a friend in need is a friend indeed.

At times like this, only brothers are the most reliable.

In the past 8 days.

Roger swept through the newly-born "Giant Ant" nest.

Although there is no experience and attributes.

But those 260 extremely solid "steel supplements" were lying safely in the tinder bag.

And in the process.

Roger also received his 101st milestone point.

This unlocks a new item!

…

"First-come-first-served Ticket (New)"

「Type: Consumables」

「Price: 50 Milestone Points」

"Use: After using this coupon, you can advance to the Extraordinary level 20 levels earlier."

"Restriction: One character can only use it once"

…

Roger chose to redeem without hesitation!

…

"A mission target that meets the requirements for extraordinary advancement has been detected"

"Do you want to start the extraordinary advanced mission?"

…

Roger chose to confirm.

Same as last time.

This time the extraordinary advancement is also divided into two levels of difficulty!

…

"Extraordinary Advanced Mission (Elite Level)"

"Brief summary: Destroy the 'Withered Cult' and eliminate at least 4 of the 6 Patriarchs."

"Reward: Advanced Class/1 additional free attribute point"

…

"Extraordinary Advanced Mission (Destiny Level)"

“Brief summary: Destroy the ‘Withered Cult’ and eliminate all the Patriarchs;

Kill the lord-level monster 'two-headed dragon' that roams the southern cemetery."

"Reward: Advanced profession/Extra 2 free attribute points/Opportunity for the third extraordinary advancement at level 50"

…

"Okay."

“Adults understand.”

Roger decisively chose the "Destiny Class".

He originally wanted to wipe out the monsters in the east, west, and north of the Jewel City before heading to the more dangerous "Southern Graveyard".

But now it seems that I have to go south.

…

Two days later.

South of the old town.

A thick fog shrouds this cursed wasteland.

On a narrow path.

A procession of people arrived.

Leading the charge was a team of tall and mighty demons.

The one suppressing the central army was a young man carrying a black coffin on his back.

Further back are some demons with weaker auras.

They walked very cautiously.

Every time they passed a certain distance, they would stop to make sure each other was safe.
