"Veylan is targeting me?"
This was the first thought that came to Roger's mind .
But he quickly denied this.
Because the signature date was a month ago.
The "Galactic City Party" mentioned in the letter happened two weeks ago.
If Weilan really set his sights on him.
This letter will definitely arrive on time.
Combine it with the tone of the letter.
It is not difficult to guess that this letter should be similar to a group text message.
"It seems to be just a routine test of the new forces in the south."
Roger let out a long breath.
Despite this.
Roger did not dare to neglect it.
He immediately made an appointment with Cecilia to meet at the palace in an hour.
Then he turned and was buried.
Swimmed quickly towards the direction of the "Jade Phoenix Nest".
…
In the past three months.
Roger spends most of his time mining underground. It's not because he is addicted to mining, but because the Jade Phoenix Eggs in the Ash Field are showing unstable signs of life.
As a prospective Jade Phoenix wizard, Roger would of course be by her side to protect her.
After several rounds of careful inspection.
Roger deduced that this was a small fluctuation caused by the reduction in heat supply in the ash field, which actually had little impact on Yufeng's growth.
When Hongye was here before, the ancient red dragon itself was a considerable source of heat, and that guy's presence had a certain effect on promoting Yufeng's shelling.
After Hongye died.
The ash field lost its source of heat, and the Jade Phoenix consciousness in the egg immediately became unhappy and started to make a fuss.
Roger took appropriate remedial measures - he had Cindy wear the "miner's hat of the Kobold God", transformed into a dragon vein sorcerer, and summoned an adult red dragon from the secondary plane.
After a cordial and friendly exchange.
The red dragon named "Capesi" became a full-time Jade Phoenix incubator.
With Capesi's daily firefighting to add to the fun.
The hatching speed of Jade Phoenix has been increased by approximately 30%.
This made Roger very satisfied with Capesi's work results.
So after mining every day, he would come to the Jade Phoenix Nest to "visit" the red dragon.
certainly.
The medium of favor is the "hand of lowering intelligence"...
For Roger.
All he wanted was a tool dragon to hatch the eggs.
As for evil creatures like red dragons.
He wasn't as soft-hearted as he was with Cindy.
So it didn't take long.
Capeci was turned into an idiot by him.
And with the help of "group hypnosis" given by Augustus.
This red dragon successfully transformed itself into a nanny who only knew how to forage for food and hatch eggs.
despite this.
Roger still sent four volcanic horned demons to help guard the ash field.
On the one hand, these guys can also help add fuel to the fire.
On the other hand, he was also trying to prevent the Red Dragon from pretending to be stupid.
But with the passage of time.
The red dragons and the volcanic horned demons are getting along more and more harmoniously.
Roger gradually felt relieved.
He came here today to complete the final mental degradation and hypnosis on Capesi.
After that, he could temporarily put aside his affairs underground.
After all, it is a very long process for Yufeng to break out of her shell.
There was no way Roger could devote all his energy to it.
…
And even earlier than that.
The inexplicable underground war "Revenge of the Jackals" has also come to an end.
After Hongye died.
All nightmare-template creatures died overnight.
The Gnoll King Dadin led the escape.
There is naturally no reason for the campaign mode to continue.
For Roger.
It's a bit of a pity that the battle was stopped.
After all, he still failed to complete the two optional tasks of "Stop the War" and "Reward".
But everything can't be perfect.
In Roger's opinion.
It's good enough to be able to kill the red leaves quickly and efficiently.
And from the echo beads left behind by the red leaves.
Roger also learned the reason why this guy stayed near the Jade Phoenix Nest -
…
A long time ago.
When Hongye was still in Yugatrashi.
He once fought a decisive battle with the God of Nightmares.
In the end, he was victorious, and took the vest of the God of Nightmares, transforming into the Nightmare Dragon North Wind.
But as time goes by.
Hongye found herself contaminated by some evil force.
In Hongye's own words, it is "unclean".
To save yourself.
Hongye used a special method to concentrate the pollution on the tail scales.
Then he began to search across the planet for the "true fire" that could burn the contaminated tail scales.
final.
Hongye found the Jade Phoenix Nest.
The subsequent story naturally unfolds in a clear and logical manner.
…
Hongye's voice made Roger realize that there was an element of luck in his killing.
In order to burn off all pollutants.
Hongye's ancient dragon form has reduced its combat power a lot.
This was how Roger succeeded in striking.
This incident reminded Roger that he should never be careless at any time.
Otherwise, who knows, the next Hongye might be him!
…
In addition to self-vigilance.
What Roger is more concerned about is the "pollutants" in Hongye's voice.
Similar situation.
He had seen it in the Sea Serpent Queen's account of Quinan's divine body.
Years of hunting experience have made Roger extremely sensitive to information related to monsters.
This reminds me of the "ether distortion" phenomenon that Shar mentioned earlier.
He couldn't help but suspect that the source of the "monsters" was some kind of "distorted matter" active in the ether.
therefore.
The probability of a spellcaster being contaminated is much higher than that of ordinary professions.
It is not uncommon for Hongye and the God of Nightmares to be hit.
But Quinan is a pure warrior.
How is he not clean?
About this.
Roger thought a lot.
"Perhaps, this is related to the 'Abyss of Destruction' beneath the nine planets."
Every time I think of this heavy topic.
Roger would be a little anxious.
Both Mystra and Quinan are very close to the Abyss of Destruction at the bottom, which means that the possibility of a major event with negative impact is much higher than other planets.
Before completing preparations for interstellar travel.
He is not particularly down-to-earth.
Fortunately, Hongye generously donated a starship.
This gave Roger the opportunity to plan his final retreat.
It also relieved a lot of his pressure.
…
Compared to the red leaves that were "topped by a comet".
The other side of the underground war seemed much luckier.
Turing, the old fox, had already guessed that a third party was involved.
But he always pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Although he mistakenly mistook Roger for Quinn's reincarnation, the result was good after all.
After killing the red leaves.
Roger specifically visited Turing using the identity of Bud.
The two exchanged a brief exchange.
In the end, they had a very pleasant conversation.
Neither of them mentioned what happened on 010.
Roger only vaguely pointed out that the Jade Phoenix Nest was his territory -
Turing tactfully asked everyone to evacuate the Jade Phoenix Nest ruins.
He also took the opportunity to tell Roger.
Drovas's target was only the starship below.
As for "Taibo" who was taken away by Roger on the starship.
Turing did not ask.
Roger naturally wouldn't mention it.
After this conversation.
The tone of the relationship between Drovas and the Kingdom of Chaos was set.
…
all in all.
This underground war was a pure journey of brushing and brushing for Roger.
The attributes given by both camps are very good.
It’s a pity that the honor points are low.
Plus, there aren’t many new products in the stores.
Roger just silently replenished his inventory of Tearing Runes and Titan Flasks.
Fortunately, the large amount of spoils provided by the ancient twin dragons were enough to comfort his empty heart.
Roger also took advantage of this time to calm himself down.
The main thing is to digest the strength in various fields.
…
First is the realm of ammunition experts.
With a large supply of raw stones.
Roger successfully completed the "Soul Stone Resonance" ceremony.
So far.
He officially took control of the Force.
And learned three Force-related skills.
…
"Force Shield: Consume 10 points of Force and gain a defense shield with no blind spots (shield amount: 520/corrected defense value 40)"
…
"Floating Bullets: Consume 10 points of Force, and all your bullets will have the special effect of 'forced floating' for the next 180 seconds."
…
"Force Whip: Consume 10 Force points to whip the enemy's soul violently. If damage is caused successfully, all Force points will be returned."
…
All three skills are very useful.
The advantage of "Force Shield" is that it is all-round and has no blind spots.
Shield amount and defense value are secondary.
Roger's defense value is not low.
The main reason is that wearing a condom can give people a greater sense of security.
…
“Floating Bullet” is basically a worse version of “Slide”.
It might be effective against small and medium-sized units, but expecting it to be able to send large monsters flying is sheer wishful thinking.
The advantage is that it is cheap and more difficult to dodge.
After all, sliding tackles always cause a lot of trouble.
If the function of the slide can be replaced by floating bullets.
Roger naturally wanted it very much.
…
As for "Force Whip", it is more like a lottery.
Because the soul hidden in the body is difficult to be attacked by such simple and crude methods.
But once the lottery is successful, the profits will be huge.
Roger learned this purely to have an additional offensive method.
In fact, he has more Force skills to learn.
However, his Force value could not keep up with the consumption of those skills.
The data bar is displayed.
His current Force value is 30 points.
This number is not too low for a novice ammunition expert - but you have to know that the minimum usage requirement of the "Force Tentacles" that Roger got from Captain Morgan is 200 points of Force.
It can only be said that on the road of practicing the Force.
Roger still needs to work on this.
therefore.
He put the learning of those skills on hold for the time being.
Wait until you find a brother who can provide you with the force!
…
Next is the basic career field.
To meet the needs of the "Soul Stone Resonance" ritual.
After repeated weighing.
Roger rarely raised Xiayin's career level from Lv46 to Lv50.
In this way.
His total level reached Lv62.
And in this process.
Roger gained 1 free attribute point, 1 new expertise, and 1 new skill.
The new skill given at level 48 is called "Qi Gathering Technique".
Its effect is to converge one's own aura and blur one's own level, which can further expand the effect of the Qi-Watching Technique in converging oneself.
This greatly improves Roger's camouflage ability.
Naturally, this skill is maxed out without further ado.
The new feat is called "Flash".
It is one of Xiayin's signature abilities.
…
[Flash: Consume 1 flash mark, and you can instantly complete a quick flash in any direction.]
…
"Flickering Mark: You can hold up to 3 Flickering Marks;
After each Flash Mark is consumed, it will take 20 minutes to recover.
…
About this ability.
Roger had actually already checked it through the Early Bird Coupon.
Blink is a really useful ability.
Otherwise he wouldn't value Blink Dagger so much.
But the problem is.
The flash of Xiayin——
It's too short!
Although there is a maximum of three flashing operating spaces.
But the distance of each flash is only 8 meters!
After all, Roger is a man with "superb agility" and "the power of running wildly".
This flickering.
I can only say that it is more like a waste.
…
And that's besides the point.
Roger also ordered people to buy a lot of "Phoenix Feathers" -
This is also the benefit of being a king.
One day.
He suddenly realized that he didn't need to search the world for the Harpy, he could just buy it with money!
This saved Roger a lot of time.
However, the harpy is not easy to deal with for ordinary adventurers.
Three months later.
The number of phoenix feathers he received barely exceeded 400.
Therefore, the soldier vest he is wearing now has only 50 layers.
But he is not very anxious about this.
His days are still long.
Just fold it slowly.
that's all.
Three months of mining, tailoring and practice.
It gradually washed away the little bit of complacency that Roger had developed from his handsome kill of the Ancient Twin Dragons.
His spirit and energy were also raised to a perfect level.
Roger knew.
It's time to get back on the hunting trail!
Weilan's invitation.
This is the opportunity.
…
…
The capital of the kingdom of chaos.
Devil's Town.
The back garden of the palace.
Cecilia calmly admired the snowflakes piling up on the forest garden.
But her too-frequent blinking revealed her true inner state.
In the snow not far away.
Suddenly, a dark hole appeared.
Whoosh.
A nimble figure slid out of the tunnel.
The visitor did an elegant backflip and landed steadily next to Cecilia.
"I thought it was just an ill-timed test."
Roger took one look at her and knew that things were not as simple as he thought.
"Probing?"
Cecilia was stunned for a moment.
But she reacted quickly and said immediately:
"You mean the invitation?"
"That was indeed just a test. The Sea Serpent Church's main city also received a similar invitation, but like you, it was delayed."
Roger frowned slightly and said nothing.
But his brain had already started spinning rapidly——
…
Because of the "Severance Abyss" in the north of the Green Dragon Mountains.
Most of the communication between the north and south of the Western Continent depends on maritime trade.
This was also an important reason why the Southern Cross Holy Alliance, which had unified the continent many years ago, fell apart.
But a person of Weilan's level did not choose the spell communication that would take effect immediately, but chose to send the invitation letter by sea transportation, which eventually caused the date to be delayed.
This action itself is full of temptation.
Roger analyzed that there are three main intentions:
…
The first is to establish diplomatic relations.
A new force suddenly emerged in the south.
As the actual ruler of a northern principality, it was reasonable for Vilan to send such an invitation letter, which also laid the groundwork for possible establishment of diplomatic relations in the future.
…
The second is to inform——
It's probably something like "Although you can't make it to the conference we're holding in Galaxy City, I told you anyway, so you have to be at least a little bit merciful."
…
The third reason is to test whether the Sea Serpent Church and the Kingdom of Chaos have any intentions to interfere in the north.
This can be preliminarily judged through the subsequent reactions of Roger and others.
But none of the above three points should make Cecilia so upset.
So Roger could conclude.
Something might have happened at the Galactic City Conference.
And the news was severely blocked.
So much so that Cecilia just came over to discuss it with him now!
…
As expected.
But Cecilia said quickly:
"At the gathering in Galaxy City, many organizations in the north formed an alliance, led by the people of the Salvation Society."
"There are many , including many spellcasters abandoned in the North by the Witcher's Oath. Most of them are fanatical wizards in the field of evil spells."
"These people formed a "Salvation Army", which includes most of the powerful people in the north..."
Roger nodded silently.
He still had some impression of the Salvation Army.
From what I remember, it was an organization on the same level as the Red Robe Wizard.
But it is obvious that we cannot copy past experiences in this life.
Therefore, he was not sure whether the new Saviors were as weak as those in the game.
Roger's calmness seemed to infect Cecilia.
She gradually slowed down her speech and said calmly:
“It wasn’t a big deal.
But just the day after the Salvation Army was formed.
The Savior Society opened a portal in Galaxy City and created an unprecedented "planet conveyor belt".
Through this conveyor belt with amazing transport capacity.
They actually managed to send one-third of the Salvation Army to Mystra!
This kind of public interplanetary action is the first in the recent history of Quinan.
Even the Space Observatory, which was busy building interstellar spacecraft, couldn't sit still... (Click to view background introduction)
And just three days ago.
We intercepted a message from the Salvation Army on the expedition:
They found the reincarnation of Mystra!"
…
Hear this.
Roger couldn't help but be stunned!
Mystra?
Reincarnation?
Is Mystra a person?
Next second.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"You don't know that Mystra is the God of Ether, do you?"
Cecilia exclaimed.
"Like Quinan, Mystra is also one of the patron saints of the nine planets!"
"Every planet has its own gods."
"It was because of the fall of Mystra that the planet eventually became like that..."
Speaking of this.
She couldn't help but whispered:
"Didn't the Queen say you were from Mystra?"
Roger snorted.
Still remain silent.
Cecilia hesitated and said:
"If the news is true, then the Salvation Society is indeed ahead of us in dealing with future uncertainties."
"Mystra's reincarnation is much more precious than Quinan's reincarnation."
"She is the only one who knows what that planet went through in the Abyss of Destruction..."
"Anyway... the Queen is also very concerned about this matter."
Roger heard the hidden meaning in her words.
Don't you just want him to find out whether the news is true or not?
Roger said calmly:
"I am the king now, I am afraid it is not appropriate."
Cecilia understood Roger's intention immediately:
"The King is indeed worth more."
Then she became embarrassed again:
"But we don't seem to have anything to give you. Perhaps we can give you 1 or 2 points of "Queen's Favor"? "
“This price is not enough.”
Roger said decisively.
But the next second.
His tone softened again:
"But I can give the Queen a favor."
"Tell me, what is the specific content of the mission?"
Cecilia immediately said:
"If the news is true, find the reincarnation of Mystra, but don't offend her."
"If it's fake, then it's fine."
"The Queen doesn't have time to deal with the northerners yet."
Roger nodded:
"no problem."
"But I could use a little help."
"First, I need a prop that can quickly return to Quinan. Can the Queen satisfy me?"
Cecilia thought for a moment:
"All you need to do is leave a soul mark at the temple headquarters."
"Not only will you be able to return quickly this way, but even if something does happen, you can be resurrected at headquarters."
Roger continued:
"I am alone in this deep place, so I need some magical daggers or other items to keep me company. Queen, can you satisfy me?"
Cecilia looked embarrassed:
"I can only give you one more divine dagger like the last one."
"The rest of the common props can be discussed."
Roger didn't care too much.
He also made some detailed requests.
Cecilia agreed to all of them.
final.
Roger asked:
"There's one more thing I want to know."
"What are the ranks of the main members of the Salvation Society? For example, this Weilan..."
When saying this.
His tone was nonchalant.
Only one pair of eyes was fixed on Cecilia.
The latter thought for a moment.
Somewhat surprised, he said:
"Wylan?"
"His level isn't very high, maybe only level 89?"
"How powerful can such a person who is officially promoted be?"
"You can't beat this guy."
"You need to pay attention to another wizard..."
After listening.
Roger silently loosened his clenched fist:
"I have no further questions."
…
…
Late at night a week later.
In the temporary training ground outside Yinhe City in the north of the continent.
A train of new recruits was urgently dispatched.
After a moment.
They came to a huge square.
In the center of the square is a slowly moving arcane conveyor belt.
The space around the drive belt was severely distorted.
Its end is an invisible dark place.
Led by a gray-robed sergeant.
The row of recruits stood neatly on the conveyor belt.
One of the recruits, who had ordinary features and a large nose, looked nervously at the far end of the conveyor belt.
This guy is naturally Roger who successfully infiltrated the Savior Army.
Not long.
There was a slight noise at the edge of the conveyor belt.
on the data bar.
…
"Reminder: Heading to 'Mystra'"
…
Seeing this.
Roger secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since he infiltrated the Salvation Army, he hasn't come into contact with even the shadow of a senior official.
This was his first time to come into contact with a planet conveyor belt.
It seems now.
At least the Saviors' teleportation technology is fine.
He calmed down at that moment.
Along with other recruits, he was slowly transported to an unknown distance.
About 1 minute later.
The scenery of Galaxy City around him disappeared completely.
Instead.
It is a piece of distorted colorful space.
Under the pull of the mysterious force of space.
The distance between the recruits became extremely large.
Roger calmly examined the changes on the colorful channel.
The transmission process is different from that of the "Prayer".
He can move freely on the conveyor belt.
But compared to the fast transmission speed of the wish spell.
The speed of the conveyor belt is as slow as a cow.
Roger stood on the conveyor belt for 2 hours and still didn't see the end of the transmission!
It's been a long time.
His body was also a little stiff.
So he carefully opened his right arm and gently stretched it forward a few times.
Who knew it would happen at this moment.
The colorful flowing walls suddenly surrounded them.
His right hand was completely wrapped inside!
on the data bar.
…
"Warning: You are interfering with the laws governing the operation of time and space!"
…
Roger's face changed.
But in the blink of an eye.
The abnormal situation disappeared.
Roger returned to the conveyor belt, breathed a sigh of relief, and dared not move again.
that's all.
Another 2 hours passed.
He finally reached the end of the conveyor belt.
The colorful flowing wall disappeared in a flash.
Instead, there is a desolate and cold mountain scenery!
Vaguely.
He could also hear the terrifying roars of animals and the chirping of birds.
…
"Hint: You have come to the sub-plane 'Between Purgatory' where Mystra borders Hell."
…
"You have completed an intimate contact with your past self, and you have achieved a new milestone: flirting across time and space (click to view details)"
…
"When did I get in close contact with my past self..."
Roger rubbed his temple in confusion.
He hadn't had time to digest the fact that he had come to a secondary plane.
The emergence of new milestones made him even more confused.
But the next second.
He suddenly stopped rubbing his temple.
Because he suddenly remembered!
…
