"not see."
"Just say I'm in seclusion."
Roger replied casually as he was sewing a tinder bag meticulously.
Qu Ling nodded in agreement.
Since the girl came to the mountain, she was chosen by Roger to be his special errand runner because of his liking for her.
This month has passed.
Her performance was pretty good.
Qu Ling’s greatest strength is her hard work and dedication.
If Roger said one thing, she would never ask two questions and would just do it honestly.
The same is true today.
Just when she was about to turn around and leave.
Roger suddenly said:
"Wait a moment."
"Help me get Cisco."
Qu Ling nodded.
Ran away in a flash.
Roger went on with his work.
He is now very weak and most of his right hand is disabled.
But sewing tinder bags is still easy.
With the help of a new batch of "Phoenix Feathers" funded by Larion.
Each tinder bun with a slightly fishy smell was successfully formed.
And today.
Roger finally achieved the small goal he had set.
on the data bar.
…
"You have successfully made a tinder bag."
"Your tailoring experience +1, item making experience +1"
…
"Hint: The tinder packs have been stacked, and you have obtained 'Tinder Pack (*10000)'"
…
Put down Shar's Silver Scissors and Tailor's Workbox.
Roger gently patted the grandly upgraded treasure.
There is an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.
The afterglow of the setting sun hit his face.
Roger's expression looked so innocent and contented.
certainly.
In Cindy's eyes.
This expression looks a little hideous and terrifying.
Roger couldn't put the newly-baked Wanger bag down and played with it for a while.
The mood gradually calmed down.
The process of making Wanger bag is not difficult.
It depends on the power of water dripping through stone.
In this process.
Roger's fingers were pricked countless times.
Later on.
There was a thick layer of calluses on the tips and pads of his index finger, thumb and middle finger.
Behind the shiny Wanger bag.
It was his tireless efforts day and night.
In this process.
Roger not only gained a lot of tailoring experience.
And he also gained a special skill that can only be acquired after working in the tailoring field for a long time!
…
"Skillful hands: In your years of tailoring career, your ten fingers have been well trained and they can always execute what you want;
Your finger dexterity is at least 90 points;
You can hardly make mistakes in sewing clothes and handling leather props;
Your success rate of crafting other items increases by 30%;
You have great bonuses in skills such as 'lock picking', 'stealing', and 'playing the piano';
You have a great bonus in actions like 'snapping fingers', 'sign language', 'shadow hand', 'caress', etc.;
…」
This is a seemingly ordinary specialty.
In fact, it has a wide range of uses.
In line with Roger's previous title of "Craftsman".
The flexibility of his fingers will surpass human limits.
To reach a...
Incredibly smooth.
Anything to do with your fingers.
He executes 120%.
"With such nice fingers, it's a shame not to play e-sports."
Roger unconsciously shook his fingers in the sunset.
Making shadow puppets on the rocks.
Until Cisco arrived.
Only then did he restrain himself.
…
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Roger asked.
Today, Cisco was wearing a loose-fitting long martial arts uniform.
But even so .
The vague outline of his chest is also very eye-catching.
Roger would not interfere with his choice in this regard.
It's a personal hobby after all.
Just don’t affect the image of Qingquan Sect.
…
"Teacher, there is not much that can be found."
Sisko reported very competently:
"That guy named Thompson is indeed a very radical Elemental Supremacist."
"All the clues indicate that he was the one who opened the planetary portal, but I still have no idea how he contacted the alien organization. With the ability he has shown, it would be extremely difficult for him to directly contact someone of Weilan's level."
"After the first group of alien organizations landed, Thompson went to the East Coast with one of their teams. They disappeared and were suspected to have died under the tentacles of Ikadore."
"Years of investigative experience tell me that there must be something else behind this."
Roger nodded.
This is similar to the result of his divination.
The young man named Thompson did not appear in this decisive battle.
But Roger didn't forget that all this was caused by him.
"You are still responsible for investigating this matter."
Roger said.
Finish talking about the tasks assigned previously.
The two talked some more.
Mainly discusses martial arts.
What Roger taught Psyko was not the authentic martial arts of the Qingquan Sect, but the unique skills of Master Black Tiger.
In the face of these unique skills, Cisco felt like he had found a treasure.
It feels like I have finally found a soulmate after years of searching.
Regarding the philosophy of Master Black Tiger.
He approved of it to the extreme.
This month has passed.
The female assassin has successfully mastered the "knee strike" and "crotch kick".
Only the "sliding tackle" requires the precipitation of "qi".
See this scene.
Roger was also relieved.
The Qingquan Sect's martial arts needs someone to inherit and carry forward.
The same is true for Master Black Tiger.
It is said that the Assassin's League has the headquarters of the Pingsha School and the remains of other martial arts schools.
Wait until the time is right.
Roger would go there himself.
I hope that by then more martial arts schools will be able to reappear like the Qingquan Sect.
…
After Cisco left.
It's getting dark.
Roger stretched and walked up the mountainside.
In just one month.
The originally deserted Qingquan Mountain has changed drastically.
Larion led a group of imperial eagles to build a nest on the top of the mountain.
They officially joined the Qingquan Sect as "Sect Master's Close Friends".
Since most of the disciples cannot fly, they can only rely on climbing vines to go up and down the mountain for the time being.
Larion took the initiative to take the responsibility of carrying the disciples up and down the mountain.
There are now more than 30 imperial eagles stationed at the mountain gate.
Fly 4 times a day.
It just happens that each person only needs to fly one day per month.
The only price that Qingquan Sect had to pay was to build a hot spring square for them and provide a little food.
In case you encounter an enemy.
These imperial eagles also help in fights.
It is extremely cost-effective.
Roger knew.
This was Larion thanking him for saving his life.
"This is what good deeds bring..."
"That's definitely not the reason why the Imperial Eagle can't be marked as sinful..."
Roger thought so firmly.
…
Go up from Shiquan Square.
There is a path leading to a secluded valley.
That is now Griffith's territory.
Roger found four honest and reliable disciples.
Have them drive live pigs to the valley regularly.
Add some extra food to the holy sword "Griffith".
After the war.
After some thought, Roger finally gritted his teeth and severed his life-sword relationship with Griffith.
The reason is very simple.
The nurturing of the Life Sword requires the mutual understanding of both parties.
Griffith is very strong.
But it is a weapon with its own personality.
It has been thoroughly developed by others.
Want to become Roger's shape.
It's difficult.
What Roger needed was a life sword that he developed from beginning to end.
From this perspective.
Griffith is not as real as the Phantom Axe.
not to mention.
This guy is very unruly.
Roger relied on the mark of the master of the genre to suppress it.
In case the mark runs out.
This guy can't be controlled.
Roger didn't want to cause trouble within his own family, so he finally made this decision.
Fortunately, after the relationship between life and sword was resolved.
He signed another contract with Griffith.
He used the "Yuquan Order" to mobilize part of the power of the mountain protection formation.
After this.
Griffith became a part of the mountain protection formation.
As long as the disciples of Qingquan Sect feed the pigs continuously.
It will always guard the area within the Qingquan River.
This is a kind of weakening for Roger himself.
But it is indeed a great improvement to the safety of Qingquan Mountain.
To this.
Roger is quite open-minded.
Anyway, he didn't go anywhere during the weak period of half a year - even when Old Bard came to the mountain gate to beg him for help, he still didn't go out. This is to ensure absolute safety.
As for half a year later.
He then went to look for a suitable sword for his destiny.
Nothing can be achieved overnight.
Roger has always understood this principle and has always implemented it very well.
The only pity is that the sword-refining mission failed.
It was the first time for Roger to see the reward go unattained.
That feeling can only be described in one word -
itch!
…
And there is another road next to the path leading into the valley.
This road leads to the back mountain.
It was the residence of Roger's servants.
Including horned demons and gray wolves.
After the last war.
Among the many trophies Roger harvested were several "magic conches" filled with large numbers of daylight jellyfish.
I left one third for my younger brothers to do research.
Roger killed the jellyfish.
Nowadays.
His number of quick resurrections has accumulated to 6788 times!
And this number.
Less than a quarter of the progress bar.
I can only say that the "Sunlight Jellyfish" is truly affectionate and loyal!
But the bad news is.
The horned devils encountered major obstacles in their attempts to cultivate daylight jellyfish.
Even if Roger transferred a few research talents from the Truth Society to help.
Progress is also very slow.
The reason seems to be that in addition to sea salt, the sun jellyfish needs another ingredient to survive.
And that kind of ingredient cannot be found near Baobaoshi City.
Faced with this situation.
Roger was helpless.
We can only wait for good news.
…
Follow the path up the stairs.
Roger's trip was to the "Holy Tiger Pavilion".
But as I walked.
A very bad feeling arose in his heart!
at first.
Roger was very confused.
This is the Qingquan Sect’s mountain protection formation!
Judging from the attribute description of Yuquan Order.
It is impossible to break into this place without immortal-level power!
But the next second.
He finally realized the source of the trouble.
…
"Supernatural Perception: Someone used the 14th level divine spell 'Wish' on you."
…
"Reminder: You are about to leave Qingquan Mountain"
…
The next moment.
Roger's figure suddenly disappeared on the mountain path.
…
The world was spinning.
A feeling of time and space interweaving.
In a trance.
Roger seemed to be walking in a time tunnel.
In front of the 'Time Tunnel'.
It was a familiar figure.
now.
He was smiling at Roger.
He was saying something, but unfortunately Roger didn't hear a word!
Roger calmed down quickly.
His sixth sense told him.
Hearing has lost its meaning here.
He looked at the colorful walls of the "Time Tunnel" with curiosity, on which there were many distorted images.
Suddenly.
An extremely strong hand stretched out from the colorful flowing wall.
It smacked Roger three times on the head.
And then disappeared.
Roger was a little frightened.
But he soon calmed down.
…
"Sixth sense: You sense that someone is hinting at something, but here, you can't hurt anyone, nor can you be hurt by anyone."
…
"Hint: Your specialty 'Traveling in the Aether Sea' can be useful..."
…
Roger's heart moved.
"Is this the virtual world or the etheric sea?"
Without waiting for him to make any move.
The 'Time Tunnel' came to an end.
Next second.
The colorful flowing wall disappeared.
Instead, there was a dark stone wall.
His intuition told him.
This is in some deep cave!
Ahead.
The familiar face still looked at Roger with a smile.
In a breath.
The man casually summoned a "Wizard Fire" and his smile gradually twisted:
"You really have me in a desperate situation, Master Roger."
Roger shook his head gently:
"I should have thought it was yours."
"Mr. Budd."
"No, I think I should call you Captain? Or do you prefer the King of Blight? Or the God of Raising Children?"
Old Bud smiled exaggeratedly, his mouth stretched to its maximum:
"Hahaha...you are so smart."
"But you are so smart, do you know that even now, I am unwilling to be your enemy?"
Roger nodded:
"Know."
Old Bud laughed and said:
"I know you know."
"I have been hiding, hiding, but you are always aggressive..."
"Ever since Yu Song showed his weakness, I knew it was bad - but I have made all the compromises I could."
"I even returned the Yuquan Order to you. Isn't that enough to prove my sincerity?"
"But what about you? After killing Yu Song, you immediately attacked the Withered Cult that I worked so hard to build, and even killed my pet two-headed dragon! And you used the damn weapon I brought to Mystra!"
"You are nothing, kid."
Roger sighed softly.
Things have come to this.
He had naturally figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
In fact, Roger really didn't target the other party.
It was really just luck that I ran into the Wither Cultist...
But he won't say it.
Now.
Roger groaned:
"Your goal is to use the virtual godhood to collect various powers of faith and become an "Ascendant" in one fell swoop, right?"
"After Yu Song was exposed, you packaged him as a scapegoat."
"You tried to kill me at the Deer Hunting Stand in the Southern Graveyard but failed."
"You know that if you continue like this, I will completely ruin your path to advancement, so you found Thompson and asked him to open the planetary portal and try to get the alien organization to deal with me - this couldn't be easier for you."
"Since you can frame a scheming Yu Song, it will be easy for you to fool a brainless young wizard."
"You contacted Weilan, right? I was wondering how a young man like that could possibly contact Quinan."
"Afterwards, you sent Thompson to the East Coast. Was this to silence the witness?"
"So, what role did Ikadore play behind this incident?"
Roger asked sincerely.
Since Thompson died at the hands of Icardore.
Then Old Bud must have known in advance that He would take action.
Considering everything this guy had done before was to erase his own traces.
So jump out now.
Most likely they are desperate and have no choice but to do something desperate.
So Roger secretly grasped the "tombstone" in his left hand.
The half-crippled right hand is ready to strike hard at any time.
…
"None of this matters anymore."
Old Bud's expression was complicated:
"You forced me to use up the only scroll of 'Wish' that could bring me near immortality, and now you're going to force me to die."
"To be honest, you've been very successful."
"But no matter what, my goal has been achieved."
"You can no longer hinder my plans."
Next second.
In Roger's slightly surprised eyes.
Old Bud's mouth suddenly opened.
Immediately following.
His whole body was torn into pieces!
For a while.
The cave was filled with blood and flesh.
…
"Hint: Old Bud is dead"
…
"Extraordinary Perception: You sensed that Old Bard had lost a bit of his divinity, and that divinity came from the 'God of Blood'"
…
"Insight: You realize that 'Old Bard', 'Captain', 'Lord of Blight', and 'God of Fertility and Farming' are all one person, the incarnation of 'God of Stagnant Blood'."
…
"Sixth Sense: You realized that after the 'Haruhi Valley Incident', the captain of the Corvas starship and the God of Blood merged into one..."
…
"I see."
Sensing that wonderful flow of information.
Roger couldn't help but sigh.
This guy is obviously a big villain, but he makes himself look so pitiful.
It seemed as if Roger was the one who did most of the evil.
But thinking back carefully.
Roger really didn't give old Bud any chance.
After killing Weilan's men.
Roger has been hiding in the mountain protection formation.
Old Bud comes to visit.
He also didn't see any.
No wonder the former was desperate and took out the 14th level "Prayer" scroll!
This time he successfully tricked Roger.
It can be said to be deliberate.
…
first.
He had to block out Roger's sixth sense.
There should also be no malicious intent when tearing the scroll.
This is very difficult.
…
Secondly.
Because the scroll of wish itself is a divine spell.
Roger is not immune.
It would be funny once it was replaced with a spell scroll.
…
third.
Old Bard had to ensure that the scroll he used was of a high enough rank so that he could capture people directly from the mountain protection formation.
And Roger must be in a state of carelessness.
Otherwise, the wish may fail.
…
fourth.
Wish is a divine spell with very strict conditions for effectiveness.
It cannot cause any damage by itself.
The target of the "prayer" cannot suffer any loss or damage before, during, or after the spell takes effect.
Even the damage indirectly caused by the action of 'praying' is not acceptable!
This meant that Old Bard must have been in great pain when he prayed.
He probably hated Roger in his heart.
But have to pray for some relatively positive 'wishes'.
Finally, Roger was brought here.
…
fifth.
Perhaps in order to confirm whether the prayer was successful, Old Bard's clone had to come here in person.
In order not to leave more traces.
He chose to commit suicide.
Although he is just an incarnation of the God of Blood.
But suicide is definitely a painful thing.
…
In summary.
In order to get rid of Roger, the killer.
Old Bud had good intentions.
He even risked his own life.
As for the final result——
Roger silently looked at the "tombstone" in his hand.
The data bar shows that this thing is still in a "usable" state.
That is to say.
As long as he pinches off this stone, he can return to Qingquan Mountain smoothly.
Seeing this.
Roger felt much more relaxed and couldn't help but sigh.
He looked at old Bud's body.
Suddenly I was curious about what kind of 'wish' he was praying for.
Hesitate for a moment.
He pressed his hands on the pieces of meat.
…
"Sixth Sense: You have worked hard for a long time and finally detected the traces of old Bard's prayer magic."
…
"Old Bard's wish: I hope to go to Quinan with the respected Master Roger. Please make sure that the landing place is safe and secret..."
…
“Ah, this…”
Roger immediately loosened his grip on the tombstone.
Quinan!
This is Quinan!
Old Bud went to great lengths to send him to Quinan?!
Next second.
Roger's eyes were full of joy!
"This is the correct way to open the game world!"
"Not a familiar plot at all..."
"A few familiar figures and forces..."
"I vaguely remember some artifacts and treasures..."
"There is also a very familiar monster..."
"And there are countless good brothers lurking among them..."
"Here I come!"
In the cave.
Next to old Bud's body.
There was the sound of Roger laughing.
Against the backdrop of the wizard's fire.
It seems a bit weird.
…
