"Kill Order: You have obtained a new expertise from 'Ancient God's Sin' - Prayer of Heaven (click to view content)"
…
"You have acquired a new expertise: Cannot look directly at (click to view content)"
…
"You have acquired a new expertise: Crimson Skin"
…
"Crimson Purple Epidermis (16-level feat/Adaptive Adjustment): Once activated, your skin will turn into a crimson purple color similar to that of a highly congested state, and will be covered with blue-gray raised mystical lines.
At this time, your resistance to forbidden spells increases by +1;
…
In two-dimensional state.
Your spell resistance increases by 50%
…
Because the "Ancient Gods" are immortal creatures that have been temporarily downgraded.
So Roger can draw three times in a row.
He chose a mixed draw, but he didn't expect to draw three specialties in one go.
Fortunately, these three specialties are very practical.
Needless to say, there is the "Heavenly Prayer".
Both "Cannot Look Directly" and "Crimson Purple Skin" enhance Roger's power in related fields.
The former can provide stable control effect and strong deterrence.
Compared with this specialty.
"Grandmaster's Wrath" is not only easier for the enemy to be immune to.
The way it was performed was also inferior.
The latter has greater strategic significance.
"Crimson Purple Epidermis" is the first specialty Roger has seen that can be effective in the two-dimensional world.
How abnormal is 50% spell resistance.
Roger and his elves have just experienced this.
With this expertise.
It will be much safer to encounter magic monsters in the subsequent rooms.
But there's obviously more to this specialty than that.
Behind this seemingly useless description: "Spell Resistance +1".
In fact, it hides extremely high strength!
Based on the ether knowledge Roger now possesses.
The so-called "forbidden spell".
Usually refers to a series of high-level spells that add "forbidden words".
These spells consume a large amount of forbidden materials when cast.
This is to achieve the purpose of improving the effectiveness of the spell.
"Spell Resistance" is used to offset the additional damage caused by forbidden words and forbidden materials.
Within this segmented resistance area.
From 0 to 1 is a huge progress from nothing to something.
Specifically.
Without the protection of the crimson epidermis.
The 'Ancient Evil' was smashed into pieces by the forbidden spell in the first three rounds.
I can't even last ten rounds!
"With this little bit of forbidden spell resistance, once I level up, coupled with spell absorption, it shouldn't be a problem to resist the world-destroying forbidden spell..."
"Of course, the best way is never to fight head-on."
After experiencing such a "simulated apocalypse" from the perspective of a bystander.
Roger benefited a lot.
He gleaned a lot of valuable information from details such as the order in which the forbidden spells were released and the conditions on the planet's surface when they were released.
Until the last forbidden spell ended.
He still felt a little reluctant.
However, the forbidden spell will not last forever.
When the clouds that seemed to be ember clouds disappeared completely, Roger noticed that there were still very few lives lingering on the surface of the planet.
He was just about to make a deeper perception of those lives.
The perspective in front of me was 'pressed' down!
…
"You have returned to the 'Gate in the Forest'"
…
"Hint: After killing the 'Ancient Evil', the Gate in the Forest will return to its original appearance."
…
In the room.
Roger opened his eyes.
The lonely and empty desert and the starry sky have long disappeared.
Instead, there is a forest and moonlight with birds, flowers and fragrance.
In the middle of the lush woodland.
An arched gate stands tall and majestic.
The carvings on the gate are intricate and gorgeous.
Tributes praising the power of the Ether were hung on the curtains of the arch.
Behind the door.
It is a quiet path paved with pure white moonlight.
Roger walked over subconsciously.
An invisible force pushed him away with a smile.
He tried to squeeze in unwillingly.
The laughter beside my ear turned into a slightly coquettish scolding.
Bang!
Roger's body was ejected.
"No, I've already cleared the level, why can't you let me in?"
He looked at the door in confusion.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You were rejected by the God (Mystra)"
…
"No further hints?"
Roger rubbed his temple .
Then he changed several postures——
No matter whether they attacked head-on or approached in a roundabout way, they were eventually pushed back by the powerful force.
Finally.
Roger could only leave the forest gate in shame and run to touch the corpse of the ancient evil god.
…
"Hint: You have obtained the 'Remains of the Ancient God'"
…
"You have obtained 'unpurified divinity'"
…
"Unpurified divinity: If you have enough power, you should be able to extract a usable divinity from it."
…
"You got a 'one-time lucky coin'"
…
“Ah, this…”
Looking at the bronze coin covered with mosaics in his hand, Roger fell into deep thought:
"How do you punctuate this?"
"wrong!"
"How do I use this thing?"
He sensed it silently for a while.
Driven by the desire to explore deeper into the gate of the forest.
Roger tentatively crushed the coin.
With a click.
The coin broke into pieces.
A handful of copper powder rose up in the wind.
When the copper powder falls.
A rusty door appeared in Roger's sight.
If the "Gate in the Forest" is located in the center of this two-dimensional map.
Then this newly appeared gate is in a very hidden place in the lower right corner.
Roger moved over quickly.
…
"You discovered 'Hidden Room: Silent Prayer Room'"
…
"I shouldn't have missed any other clues."
"This room only has these two doors. I can't get into the door in the forest, so I can only try here."
With this thought in mind.
Roger didn't linger at the door for long.
Instead, he directly rammed the tightly closed door!
Unlike the other doors which are all open.
The door to the prayer room is closed.
But it can be knocked open.
Under Roger's violent impact, large cracks soon appeared on the door.
Not long.
Roger pushed open the 'damaged door' smoothly.
He went in with a whoosh.
…
"Hint: You have entered the 'silent prayer room'"
…
"You found the 'Crazy Servant of God'"
…
"Sixth Sense: You realize that this servant of God has become dull due to years of confinement. You may need to try again and again before you can communicate with him."
…
This is a very narrow prayer room.
Roger walked back and forth.
Confirm that it is only 24*12 (unit grid) in size.
There was only one person in the prayer room.
It was an old man lying on a table and chair with his eyes unfocused.
It's a wonderful feeling.
Roger clearly only saw "a line segment", but his perception not only told him that it was an old man, but also depicted the expression and wrinkles on the old man's face very clearly.
There was a book and a lot of papers piled on the table where the old man was sitting.
Roger leaned over and touched it.
He discovered that even with the "Heavenly Prayers", he couldn't understand the book.
final.
He still relies on his sixth sense.
Honestly 'touch' the old man.
Based on the experience during this period.
Roger gradually realized that 'touch' was almost the only way to communicate in the two-dimensional world.
However, for general items, you only need to touch them once.
This servant of God is indeed a little too slow.
Roger was stuck between the table and the chair, moving forward, backward, forward, backward, repeatedly towards the line segment...
After going in and out 30 times.
The servant of God suddenly woke up, grabbed a piece of paper and started writing on it.
at the same time.
A grid similar to a game dialog box unfolded before Roger's eyes.
…
"Crazy Servant of God: Who are you? Why have you come?"
…
“Roger: I am a traveler.
…
I came here for the 'Gate in the Forest', I defeated the 'Ancient Evil', why can't I enter the gate?"
…
"Servant of God: You are not a believer in God, and you do not have God's token, so of course you cannot enter."
…
"Roger: Token of the gods?"
…
"Servant of God: Whichever gate you want to enter, you must have the token of the corresponding god.
Behind the gate in the forest is the realm of the great ether maiden Mystra, you need the 'Robin Token';
The Stag's Gate is where the light of Quinan shines. You need the 'Furnace Token'.
The Gate of Xuanzong is a cave opened up by Master Xuan. You need the 'Qingquan Token'."
…
"Roger: Where do I find these tokens?"
…
"Servant of God: I don't know... I should rest..."
…
So far.
The dialog box disappears suddenly.
Roger carefully interpreted the words of the servant of God.
The expression gradually becomes more playful (if there is any expression at all).
Neither the Gate in the Woods nor the Gate of the Stag exceeded his expectations.
It does correspond to Mystra and Quinan.
But the "Master Xuan" corresponding to the Xuanzong Gate surprised Roger a little.
Especially since what you need to enter Master Xuan is the "Qingquan Token"!
"So, Master Xuan is the third god? His job is a martial artist? And which planet is he in charge of?"
"Also, what is the Qingquan Token?"
"Does it mean that Qingfeng Order and Yuquan Order are combined into one?"
Roger was a little confused.
He had tried to take out these two props before.
The result failed.
“Is it just a similar name?”
Roger was a little distressed.
It now seems that the door in the forest is most likely inaccessible.
Who knows where to get Mistra's "Mockingbird Token" -
However, considering the limitation of movement points.
Normal people can't even enter the room where the door to the forest is located.
If you can get here, you can get a treasure like "God's Duel Arena".
Roger was content.
However, the servant of God in front of him obviously had something special.
He wasn't going to let the other person go just like that.
So.
In the cramped space between the table and chairs.
Roger started his 'in and out' act again.
After another round of 30 close contacts.
The servant of God woke up suddenly.
Grab a piece of paper.
The dialog box appears as expected.
…
"Crazy Servant of God: Who are you? Why have you come?"
…
“The two-dimensional world is so fun!”
See this scene.
Roger was relieved.
He immediately changed his words decisively.
…
“Roger: I am a traveler.
…
I came here for the Blood Crow Lord, I want to know his background."
…
“Servant of God: Xuewu was originally a mediocre lord at the border of Purgatory. It was the God who found him.
The gods promised Blood Crow eternal life and encouraged him to ignite an eternal war.
So the 'wilderness' became the 'purgatory'.
The gods are immortal and the blood crows are indestructible.
Every time a Blood Crow dies, the entire Purgatory has to pay the price."
…
"So, just because Cecilia killed the Blood Crow, Purgatory lost thirty years?"
Think of this.
Roger shook his head in his heart.
He quickly typed his next question into the dialog box.
…
"Roger: Why did the gods instigate the Blood Crow to go to war?"
…
“Servant of God: …”
…
"Roger: How should I deal with the Blood Crow?"
…
"Servant of God: The Immaculate Crystal on Cage Island records the promise of the God to the Blood Crow. If it is destroyed, the Blood Crow will not be able to regenerate.
…
I should take a break..."
…
"Are we going to take a break now?"
“This time it was much shorter.”
Roger frowned slightly.
This person must be extraordinary, and what he said may not be completely credible, but it is at least worth referring to.
He could only endure and continue to harass her.
This process repeated three times.
After Roger asked about some more information about topics such as Purgatory, Dead Forest, and Ticket Games.
The servant of God finally responded without getting tired of it:
"Please don't bother me again."
"I really need to take a good rest."
After saying that.
He laid his head on the table and refused to wake up no matter how Roger came in and out.
Seeing this, Roger could only leave the room with regret.
certainly.
Before leaving, he did not forget to pick up a small stack of "bloodstained papers".
Although I don't know if it's useful.
It’s always a good idea to stock up first!
…
Next.
Roger wandered around the large room where the "Gate to the Forest" was located for a while.
Then the exploration ended.
Since we can't reach deeper, there is no point in staying in the dead forest.
It is not difficult to find out after taking inventory.
This trip to the Dead Forest has yielded a lot of good stuff.
The original goal of "collecting the Heart of the Wilderness" has also been successfully achieved.
In the context of the possible instability of the flow of time in "Between Purgatory".
Roger still needs to make a quick decision!
…
"Reminder: You are about to leave the 'Dead Forest'. We have detected that there are 9 two-dimensional items in your item bar. Do you want to convert them into three-dimensional items?"
…
"Tip: The items you 'absorb' cannot be transformed directly, but can be transformed into items in the three-dimensional world through the 'High-Dimensional Appraisal Scroll'"
…
"So troublesome?"
"Does it require a specific identification scroll to transform it?"
Roger felt it was a bit of a pity.
So that's it.
The remains of Chimera, the remains of ancient gods...
These things are of no use for the time being.
For a moment, he didn't know where to find the "High-Dimensional Identification Scroll".
However, he will not transform the items in the prop column for the time being.
After all, this is related to his combat effectiveness in the two-dimensional world.
These things might be really powerful if transformed.
But only by staying inside can we cooperate with the "God Duel Arena" to carry out the tactics of beating the children to the end.
certainly.
Except Cindy.
You can't really let him be a wild card in the prop column all the time, right?
The world of hidden heroes cannot be leaderless for a day!
With this thought in mind.
Roger transforms Cindy back.
After that, he decisively left the Dead Forest!
Then he stayed in the cemetery for another half a day.
Unfortunately, we have never found that elusive boundary river again.
Roger suspected that the location of the Necropolis between the Infernos was constantly shifting.
Otherwise, with his ability to find the way, he would not be able to find it even if there was heavy fog nearby!
“What a pity…”
"I'm still confused about the current situation of Qingquan Sect."
"Let's go to Cage Island first!"
that's all.
Roger headed north.
After leaving the cemetery.
He quickened his pace.
Just two days later.
He arrived at the Prison Mountain Camp again.
When I saw the White Horse God again.
Another god of the wilderness, the Quetzalcoatl, has also been waiting here for a long time.
I heard that Roger has collected the remaining five Wilderness Hearts.
Quetzalcoatl also tactfully offered his share.
Outside the shrine at Prison Mountain Camp.
Roger displayed all six Hearts of the Wilderness.
Infused with the power of the Wilderness Temple.
These wilderness hearts gradually merged into one.
Not long.
An exquisite hexagonal amulet appeared in Roger's palm.
…
"Hint: You have obtained the 'God's Amulet'"
…
"God's Amulet (token): You can use this to enter and exit the God's barrier containing 'etheric authority'"
…
"It is indeed Mistra..."
Roger put the amulet away solemnly.
now.
The feathered serpent and the white horse stood on his left and right.
They looked at each other.
The God of White Horse tried:
"If you are going to Cage Island, can we come with you?"
"As the gods' followers, we are also concerned about His current condition..."
Roger didn't refuse.
When he left the cemetery, the Evil Blood Crow Season had already ended, so it was normal for the two Wilderness Gods to want to accompany him.
The three of them then headed north together.
Along the way.
Roger asked the most senior Quetzalcoatl for information about Mystra.
Quetzalcoatl pondered and replied:
"God?
God is a kind of existence that cannot be understood...
We can touch Him.
You can imitate Him.
Under certain rules we can even try to defeat Him.
But we still cannot understand Him.
If I had to describe Him in one word.
That’s loneliness...”
…
"Lonely?"
Roger repeated thoughtfully.
"Yes."
Quetzalcoatl recalled:
“I saw Him for the first time since my birth.
I sensed an lingering loneliness from Him.
He seemed unwilling to come to this planet.
I've heard it before.
It seems like He is staying here for someone or something..."
Quetzalcoatl spoke a lot in a disjointed manner.
Roger listened.
Suddenly I felt that the description of Quetzalcoatl was very apt for myself.
…
"An existence that cannot be understood"
…
"Lonely"
…
"For something"
…
In a sense.
Gods and time travelers do have a lot in common.
Roger's curiosity about the gods grew.
Conversation room.
The group successfully arrived at the ruins of the bridge leading to Cage Island.
The bridge is beyond repair.
However, the barrier that existed here opened automatically under the illumination of the "God's Amulet".
Between the flashes of golden light.
A sea road paved with golden olive branches appeared in front of the three people.
Roger was the first to step in.
He walked on the olive branch for a while.
Not long.
His right foot landed on solid ground.
The golden light around also faded away.
A cold and deserted island appeared before Roger's eyes.
…
"Hint: You have entered the 'Cage Island'"
…
"You discovered the Blood Crow Lord's Lair"
…
"You encountered the new Blood Crow Lord (Devil Lord/God's Kingdom Practitioner/Lv100)"
…
That moment.
Roger looked up suddenly.
In the center of the deserted island there is an active volcano that is constantly swelling.
Right above the crater.
A gorgeous woman with long black hair like a waterfall walked down slowly.
She walked barefoot on the lava along the way.
Soon they arrived in front of Roger and the other two!
Her eyes were cold and arrogant.
Her tone was annoyed and impatient:
"Who gave you permission to trespass into my house?"
"You, you... who are you?"
Quetzalcoatl looked at the woman's face and could no longer suppress the surprise in his tone!
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly.
She raised her chin.
The tone was full of unquestionable meaning:
"I am Blood Crow."
"It's also Mistra..."
"Have you understood, lowly mortals?"
"Now……"
“Kneel down!”
"Kiss the top of my foot!"
The bodies of Quetzalcoatl and the white horse began to tremble violently.
They looked at Roger helplessly.
Just at this time.
The woman also looked at Roger sternly.
Roger's lips moved slightly.
In the end, only one word came out:
"roll!"
The scarlet light flashed and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye.
Roger, holding the Red Moon, rushed to the front of the Blood Crow!
…
