"May I have your name?"
Roger looked up at the thin girl in the second-floor window.
Her face was not pretty.
There are some freckles on the face.
But her eyes looked full of energy, in stark contrast to the numbness and depression of the people around her.
This transcendent temperament, coupled with the extremely similar single ponytail, made it difficult for Roger not to think of what Mistra looked like before her reincarnation!
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Roger felt more suspicious.
Between thoughts.
The girl on the second floor had already climbed out of the window. She held onto the windowsill with both hands and shouted:
"Mia, my name is Mia."
"Can I jump? You'll catch me, right?"
Just at this moment.
A dissuading voice came from the room on the second floor:
"Mia, stop messing around...you'd better come back!"
The voice hadn't finished yet.
Mia closed her eyes and jumped down resolutely!
Everyone exclaimed!
The girl's face turned very pale while she was in mid-air.
But the next second.
The noise gradually subsided——
An invisible hand appeared out of nowhere, gradually dragged Mia's body, and brought her safely to the ground.
"You are very courageous."
Roger commented.
"Thank you."
Mia, who was sweating coldly, tidied her messy hair.
A pair of big eyes full of curiosity:
"I have never met an adventurer like you."
"But I've heard of the reputation of the Qingquan Sect. They have always been at odds with the Blood Worshipers... But, may I ask, what does the Sect Master mean?"
Hear this question.
Roger groaned:
"That's what the leader meant."
Mia's eyes lit up:
"Then aren't you more powerful than Lord Ji Qiu?"
Roger didn't answer.
The main reason was that he didn't know who Ji Qiu was.
Mia is quite tactful.
Now.
She straightened her clothes and asked:
"So, when do we start?"
"Right now."
Roger replied.
"Tell me the locations of all the Blood Cultists in the city."
"Then just lead the way."
"Yes, sir!"
"Lord Roger!"
Mia jumped up excitedly.
She immediately led Roger to the next block.
…
Near the square.
Many people have already dispersed.
But there are still some people who, for unknown reasons, have been silently following Roger and Mia.
See this situation.
Mia hinted a few words with some concern.
But Roger turned a blind eye.
Very quickly.
They arrived at the first stronghold.
It was an auction house owned by a wealthy businessman.
The auction house's sales floor had long been converted into a venue for blood worshippers with several basements.
Roger asked Mia to wait outside.
I went in alone and killed my way in!
30 minutes later.
Roger walked out without a drop of blood on his body and said to Mia:
"The next place."
Mia glanced at the door of the auction house with some excitement.
You can see it.
She actually wanted to go in and take a look.
However, the girl controlled her thoughts and led Roger directly to the next stronghold.
Wait until they are far away.
The residents who followed Roger rushed into the auction house curiously.
In the basement room.
The bodies with their heads separated lay quietly on the ground.
And except for these dead blood worshippers.
There were still a dozen small spots of light active at the scene.
And a palm-sized celestial creature emitting a milky white glow.
A strong smell of blood began to spread in Lotus City.
As the Blood Worshipers' strongholds in Lotus City continued to fall.
Roger's demon-killing mission has officially entered the fast lane of rapid advancement!
…
…
"Hint: You have awakened the hope in the hearts of the residents of Lotus City. Your regional reputation (Lotus City) +100"
…
“More and more people are following you.
Your feat in the Town Hall Square has caused a sensation in the city.
And as the campaign to clean up the blood worshippers continues to deepen.
The name of the Qingquan Sect leader will spread widely at a very fast speed.
Your reputation is growing rapidly.
…
"You have killed a blood worshipper. Your celestial bone fragments have accumulated to 3069..."
…
After 2 hours.
The Blood of Ten Thousand Filths is outside the fifth stronghold of Lotus City.
Roger stood with his hands behind his back with a calm expression.
Seems to be thinking about something.
Mia, who was not far away, had admiration written all over her face!
In the past 2 hours or so.
Roger single-handedly killed thousands of blood cultists and even more filth (crab legs).
This is unimaginable for ordinary people in Lotus City.
Mia is also a professional herself.
She knew very well how difficult it was to deal with the "offspring of the God of Blood".
But in front of the leader of the Qingquan Sect.
Those crab legs can't even survive one attack!
With this kind of strength, there is indeed hope that we can help Lotus City eradicate these malignant tumors that have been plaguing the city for years!
But after taking down the fifth stronghold.
Roger paused.
This made Mia think that he was tired, and she couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Lord Roger, do you need to rest for a while?"
Roger was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"That's not necessary."
"I'm just waiting for two people."
"By the way, how many bases are there behind?"
Mia quickly took out a thick document and confirmed it, then said:
"According to the City Hall's previous investigation records, the Blood Worshipers still have eight bases in the city."
Look at the outer packaging of the document.
Roger pondered:
"Have you ever thought about taking action against the Blood Worshipers?"
Mia said with red eyes:
"certainly!"
"My uncle has been fighting these evil cultists all his life. A few months ago, he secretly contacted all the powerful people in the city and prepared to fight the blood worshippers to the death."
"But the day before the operation began, he mysteriously disappeared."
"It wasn't until half a month ago that we found his body. Those cultists not only desecrated his body, but also claimed that he died from being addicted to 'illusions' and 'black bamboo powder'. It's ridiculous..."
"Uncle is not that kind of person at all!"
Roger's response was quick:
"Is your uncle the former city lord?"
Mia wiped her eyes:
"Yes."
"Everyone in Lotus City knows that he is a good man, but it is useless. Even the great wizard cannot resist the malice of those evil gods, not to mention that my uncle is just an old warrior..."
Roger sighed softly, patted her shoulder, and said nothing more.
As long as the ancient evil is not eliminated.
Mystra will be shrouded in the shadow of various cultists.
The tragedy of Lotus City will be repeated day after day.
The blood of all foul things is just one of them.
Infinity Touch and other evil things.
The same cannot be let go!
In fact.
Just as Roger was cleaning out the blood worshippers.
He also sensed the presence of several "Black Mist Cultists" among the following crowd.
These rats are obviously Ikadore's supporters.
The reason why Roger hasn't taken action against them yet.
It’s just because he is more afraid of the power of the Blood of Ten Thousand Filths.
…
"The transmission of information within the Blood Worship Church is a bit slow."
While waiting.
Roger glanced at the data column.
He has already taken action with such great fanfare, but the other party still seems to be unaware of this - this can be seen from the fact that the armistice agreement has not been triggered.
This shows that the "Blood of All Filth" is not as nearly omniscient about what happened in Mystra as Icardore described.
They must have powerful means of perception.
But this method has its limitations.
At least it's not effective 24 hours a day.
For Roger.
This is very important information.
After a while.
Two streaks of light flashed across the sky.
Two men riding witchcraft brooms jumped off the brooms.
They are demons disguised as human wizards!
One of them is the "Woodpecker".
It's him.
She just used her transformation skills to play the role of "the old woman whose son turned into a monster", giving Roger the opportunity to make use of the situation. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen in the world?
The other is the goat-headed devil Hades.
This guy is brave and resourceful, and is competent enough to complete the task assigned to him by Roger——
That is, when Roger was alone clearing out the Blood Cult's stronghold, he was responsible for the security and vigilance of the periphery!
Special.
They also have to keep an eye on the growing number of people following them.
This is a very complicated and meticulous job.
In order to complete it successfully.
All of Roger's demons are out.
They disguised themselves as ordinary people and mingled in the city.
This arrangement was made because the devil's direct assistance would damage the image of the Qingquan Sect;
Secondly, it is to prevent potential dangers.
Roger's perception is strong.
But it's not omnipotent.
Outside the stronghold.
Two demons approached.
The woodpecker casually cast a soundproofing spell.
See this scene.
Mia walked away tactfully.
…
"How about it?"
Roger asked.
"Owner."
"No informant was found."
Hades said respectfully:
"It seems that the Blood Worshipers are indeed unpopular in Lotus City."
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was not afraid of a head-on confrontation with the Blood of Ten Thousand Filths, he had to be careful if the other party attacked him veiledly!
This is Mystra!
If we still follow the Quinan model.
It will be a miserable death.
After listening to Hades' report.
Roger ordered seriously:
"Assign two people to continue watching, and report to me immediately if there is any movement;
When I clear out the Blood Worshipers' stronghold, there must be at least 10 people outside to check if there are any traps, barriers, or teleportation arrays nearby...
in addition.
You two go follow those Black Mist Cultists..."
…
After giving the instructions.
Roger made a few more arrangements.
This allowed the younger brothers to disperse.
In the following period of time.
Roger continued to fight demons alone.
The number of targets on Mia's list of strongholds is decreasing.
Until dusk.
A total of 13 strongholds on the list were all uprooted!
These include 6 barracks, 3 auction houses, 2 grocery stores, 1 cemetery and an abandoned orchard on the outskirts of the city.
A large number of cultists were killed by the Red Moon Ghost King and the Invisible Sword.
The sacral bone fragment in Roger's hand also broke through the 5,000 mark.
And successfully harvested the second sage bone!
…
"Lingfeng Sword Bone (Level 1 Immortal Bone/Left Hand Palm)"
"Basic: Provides 600 additional Chi"
"Refining 1: Your skill 'Swordsmanship' movement speed increased by 60%"
"Refining 2: The duration of your specialty 'Body and Sword Integration' is increased by 6 seconds."
…
"Refining 3: You have acquired a new skill 'Wind Riding' (200)"
"Wind Riding: You can summon a breeze and ride it to fly until the breeze disappears. Wind Riding gives you the ability to move in the air that is no less powerful than 'low-level flying'."
…
"Refining 4: You will gain the new skill 'Entering and Exiting the Azure' (estimated effect) (Not achieved)"
…
In terms of the number of quenching.
There are far more Lingfeng sword bones than invisible sword bones.
Just in terms of effect.
The "invisible" attribute can barely match the above three attributes.
In Roger's opinion.
The improvement of the movement speed of the sword technique is an optional option.
The main reason is that he has too many vehicles.
There are cars, horses, earth escape, wind control, and somersault clouds...
This thing called the Life Sword.
It’s not that comfortable to drive on the highway.
therefore.
As an advanced version of "Ride the Wind", the Wind Riding Technique is not that attractive.
The most important attribute of this fairy bone is that it provides endurance for the powerful move "Body and Sword as One"!
You know.
When the body and sword are in one, the power of the sword light is equivalent to 2000% of the normal state!
The only flaw is the 6-second duration.
Now it has become 12 seconds.
The effect is more than doubled!
And combined with the characteristics of "invisibility".
The "Body and Sword as One" specialty is already one of the best in Roger's ultimate skill library.
…
The appearance of the two fairy bones added fuel to Roger's burning fighting power.
He couldn't wait to get more fairy bones!
What a pity.
The data bar is displayed.
The requirement for fragments of the third sacral bone has reached 20,000!
This number is obviously not something that can be solved by Roger alone.
More.
Maybe we need the cooperation of the blood worshippers!
…
And except for the sacral bone fragments.
Roger also harvested a total of more than 300 years of life from the "offspring of the God of Blood".
Fortunately.
The specialty of "Lifespan Accumulated by Three" actually has an effect on the subsequent added lifespan!
In this way.
Roger's life span increased by about 1,000 years in total.
Its total lifespan has officially exceeded the 10,000 mark!
"Finally, I am no longer nine thousand years old..."
Watching the life span continue to increase.
Roger felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
…
As night falls.
Outside the 13th stronghold.
There was no trace of fatigue on Roger's face .
Not far away.
Mia clenched her fists excitedly.
This was not only because of the destruction of the Blood Worshipers, but also because they had found a considerable amount of food from their 13th stronghold - El Orchard!
Based on conservative estimates.
This batch of food is enough to feed the entire city for half a month.
This will greatly alleviate the pressure on Lotus City from both internal and external difficulties.
but.
At this moment, Mia still had a hint of worry on her face.
She glanced outside the orchard somewhat uneasily—
The crowd following behind was growing larger and larger.
More and more people are involved in it.
The worries in her heart also increased dramatically.
"Are you worried that I might withhold the food?"
Roger quietly appeared beside her and asked softly.
Mia was startled.
He nodded honestly.
"They, they are all starving..."
Mia explained somewhat embarrassedly:
"I was afraid they might have offended you..."
Roger shook his head:
"I understand."
"It's understandable that this batch of food is used to relieve the pressure on Lotus City."
"However, I need a suitable person to organize the distribution of relief food."
Speaking of.
His eyes were on Mia.
There was a hint of temptation in the voice:
"Mia."
"Do you want to become stronger?"
The girl glanced at Roger in surprise.
Immediately.
She nodded firmly.
The cute ponytail began to shake violently.
Roger smiled gently:
"Then give me your hand."
Mia stretched out her hand awkwardly, but Roger grabbed it.
She is really very thin.
The little hand felt extremely light and delicate.
Next second.
A powerful force burst out from Roger's palm!
…
"Hint: You used 'Dragon's Blessing'"
…
「Mia gained a lot of XP」
…
"Mia's level has been raised from Lv39 to Lv50."
…
"ah……"
The girl moaned in pain.
Her body was shaking violently, and for a moment she hunched over like a shrimp, but soon relaxed.
"My body..."
“Is this the power you gave me?”
By the time Mia came to her senses.
Roger had already let go of his hand without making a sound. He looked at Mia with a complicated expression. After a while, he said softly:
"Seven days later."
"Again."
"From now on, you will be my personal spokesperson in Lotus City. After this batch of food is processed, it will be handed over to you for distribution..."
Mia listened in a daze.
She didn't look like she could take in so much information at once.
But Roger's mind had already turned thousands of times.
His eyes repeatedly examined the new lines of information.
His brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
…
"Hint: You used 'Dragon's Blessing' on Mia, and Mia's belief in you has reached the level of 'believer'."
…
"You have gained your first potential 'believer'. Are you ready to start your own sect?"
…
Basic requirements for establishing a sect:
1. More than 3 "devout believers"
2. Non-repetitive God Names
3. Mystical rituals (Bluff 790: can be made up)
…」
…
Put aside all the information about "founding a sect".
Roger's use of the Dragon's Blessing on Mia was indeed intended as a test.
But the test results were beyond his expectations.
It is actually possible that Mia could become his believer!
"Then she can't be the reincarnation of Mystra."
"Even if a true god is reincarnated, he will not blindly believe in others."
Think of this.
Roger couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset.
After cleaning up the orchard.
Roger planned to let Mia distribute a small amount of food first, and then deal with the situation in Lotus City after he completely eliminated the Blood Worshipers.
But at this moment.
A bloody mist suddenly came from the north of the orchard.
In the blood mist.
A low dog barking sound was heard!
"It's a monster raised by the blood worshippers!"
"That three-headed monster is coming, everyone run!"
“Let’s go…”
There were bursts of screams coming from outside the orchard
The blood mist came very quickly.
Just a moment.
The entire orchard was enveloped in it.
…
"Eye Technique: Absolute Insight!"
…
In the dim vision.
Roger locked onto the attacking monster at a glance.
After seeing the enemy clearly.
He was just about to make a move.
Who knew it would happen at this moment.
A feeling of anxiety arises spontaneously.
on the data bar.
…
“Warning: You have encountered a disciple of the Eternal Blood, and the two sides are currently in a hostile state.
If you take the initiative.
It will be regarded as a unilateral breach of the 'Armistice Agreement'..."
…
"Does this mean the war has officially begun?"
Roger was stunned for a moment.
Next second .
He smiled silently.
The figure disappeared on the spot.
Immediately following.
A furry dog-headed man appeared out of nowhere!
"The one who signed the armistice was Roger..."
"What does it have to do with me, Taoist Huang Ran?"
At that time.
Roger laughed loudly.
He was holding a thick and long stick in his hand.
Hit the invading monster with a stick!
The monster was not afraid at all.
Three heads rushed up with drooling!
In a flash.
When the dust settles.
…
"Hint: Consuming 1 drop of secondary divine oil, you used 'Incarnation: Yellow Bearded Taoist', and your level has reached 119."
…
"You have obtained the status: stick 0.55"
…
"Data panel loading..."
…
"You encountered the disciple of the Eternal Blood: the three-headed dog of Purgatory (supernatural/lord/guard dog/alien devil...)"
…
"Record: You used the Dinghai stick to kill the three-headed dog of Purgatory."
…
"Kill Order (Position Extraction): You gained 0.03 defense position"
…
"Defense Position: You can gain excess benefits in the process of defending against attacks;
You have special attainments in defense. Your basic defense value is +3.
The effect of your specialty "Offense and Defense" is increased by 30%;
You have acquired the random character feat "The Joy of Suffering"
…
"The Pleasure of Suffering: You can gain extra XP from being beaten;
Every day you will have a total of 1 hour of "suffering time" (can be turned on or off freely)
During the 'Good Friday Hour'.
The more damage you take and the more pain you feel, the more XP you gain.
When you die and are resurrected during the 'Time of Passion'.
You will have the opportunity to earn a large amount of XP and a special reward: 'Death's Pleasure'
…
"Hmm?"
"Strange XP... No, strange expertise has increased again!"
Looking at the corpse of the three-headed dog of hell on the ground.
For a while.
Roger didn't know what expression to show.
…
