The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 303 Past and Present Life

After entering the stage of creating a new character for the second time.
Roger was not in a hurry to roll the destiny trait.
Instead, he began to seriously reflect on the mistakes he made during his last 'descent'.
He admitted that he had taken it lightly.
He didn't expect the historical world to be so dangerous.
The negative effects of this "two-faced" trait will actually be realized as soon as you enter the market -
Roger thought it was just an ordinary, everyday incident.
But he soon realized that he had indeed made a fool of himself.
The scenes in the barber shop and on the street all indicated that it was a hot summer day.
The scorching heat makes people want to be naked.
At this time, a guy wearing a long windbreaker, a mask and a sun hat came in from outside. He sat in his seat with himself covered tightly, and did not take the initiative to take off his clothes and hat.
This in itself is very abnormal!
I should have been more vigilant.
Follow this line of thought.
Clues gradually surfaced.

In Roger's opinion.
Choosing to "serve him" is a dead end.
The other party had already prepared to kill him.
But the two excuses in the "reject" option probably also have their own hidden meanings.
If you say "Sorry, the barber shop is closed today," you are probably only exposing your inner anxiety and fear.
Judging from the other party's determination to kill.
This was not enough to stop the other party from taking action in the empty store.
Only the last option has a chance to save your life -
Roger guessed.
In this emergency.
The hidden condition that prevents the other party from taking action may be "making the enemy realize that the apprentice is not the only one in the barber shop"!
Just think of this.
Roger blamed himself more and more.
"My ability to read people's expressions has decreased..."
"Or is it swollen?"
"That's right. Ever since I killed the Blood of Ten Thousand Filths, my psychological pressure has been reduced a lot. Sometimes I am too relaxed."
He reflected seriously and adjusted his mindset in time.
in any case.
It's always a good idea to be cautious.
Especially after entering an unfamiliar environment!
“Although this motto and this new milestone are somewhat ironic, they are true.”
Thinking so.
Roger easily obtained the title of "Unsuccessful Mission".
He wants to use this title to warn himself!
Don't be careless at any time!

After adjusting your mentality and thinking.
Roger looked at the character card panel again.
This character card is exactly the same as the previous one.
It seems that if you enter the same historical world repeatedly.
What changes is only the nature of destiny.
This also shows the importance of this mechanism.
Roger took a deep breath.
Clicked Refresh.

"Selecting destiny traits! Please wait..."

"Countryman (Excellent): You come from the countryside and you love freedom.
The strict rules and order of human society are unbearable for you.
But in order to make a living, you are forced to compromise.
Your edges and corners are gradually worn away in the busy work.
But you can still reach an endless green wilderness in your dreams.
In the wilderness, you wade through clear streams with young deer, play hide-and-seek with monkeys in the forest, and debate dangerous topics with giant snakes... You firmly believe that this is a world that belongs only to you.

"Effect: Your initial inspiration +1/clue +1/abnormal value +1"

"Addict (Normal): You are obsessed with all kinds of addictive substances.
Sugar, opium, women, high-end drugs...
Your body has become weakened by these indulgences.
But you always feel like you're indulging yourself.
You are closer to God.”

"Effect: Your initial inspiration +1/health -1/wealth -1"

"Blind (Excellent): You cannot see, but you have good hearing.
From childhood to adulthood, you have spent your time under the pity gaze of others.
Everyone thinks you have a hard life.
But you don't care.
You have already learned to enjoy exploring the world in the dark alone."

"Effect: Your initial health -1/You have a preliminary understanding of the 'invisible language'/Medium +1/Clue +2"

"Debt-ridden (Normal): You are saddled with a large debt, for which you have gained notoriety."

"Effect: Your initial wealth -2/clue +3"

“Nursing job (excellent): You have a stable job in a hospital run by the church.
Even though most of what you do is heavy physical work.
The dead atmosphere in the ward also makes you feel disgusted.
But you cherish this hard-earned job very much."

"Effect: After completing the first stage of the task, the probability of obtaining a stable income is 100% / the probability of obtaining clues in daily life + 50%"

"Curse of the Castle (Epic): A few years ago, you and your friends went on an adventure in a lost castle.
Then an accident happened.
Fortunately, you all returned.
But you know.
Some of you are no longer the same.
Fortunately, in the past few years, you have not heard any bad news from your friends, and life seems to be back on track.

1 month ago.
You received an unexpected letter.
It came from a close friend who was part of that expedition.
Considering that you haven't been in touch for many years, please choose -

Option 1: Open the letter and read it carefully

Option 2: Burn the letter, go to a priest for confession, or bite the bullet and go to a strip club.”

"Effect: Your initial combat power +1/You get a new map 'Lost Castle' (explorable: requires a lot of money)/Clue +1/Explorer's Tool Kit +1"


After carefully reading the six characteristics.
Roger fell into deep thought.
To be honest.
He is a little reluctant to refresh.
These six qualities may not be that outstanding in terms of quality.
But there is a higher probability of being able to proceed steadily and steadily.
After experiencing the first sudden death.
Roger decided to play it safe.
Survive in the historical world for a while longer.
He finally figured it out.
The higher the quality of the trait, the higher the chance, but also the higher the danger!
A purple one would do.
"It's decided!"
Next second.
Roger decisively gave up the idea of ​​re-rolling.
Not long after.
He completed the decision of choosing three out of six.
This is not difficult at all.

"Curse of the Castle" is the only purple trait.
And it can improve the level of combat effectiveness.
Must bring!

Although "nursing work" is a physical job.
But being able to provide a steady source of income is a great trait!
Considering that hospitals are naturally the source of various clues.
There was no room for Roger to say no.

There are 4 traits left.
"Drug addict" and "deeply in debt" can be ruled out directly.
Roger only chose between "the blind man" and "the country folk" for a moment.
To be honest.
He actually coveted the 'invisible language' and 'mediums' of the blind.
After all, that is the extraordinary power of this world.
Roger really wanted to get in touch with it sooner.
But considering that I can't see with both eyes, it's really too painful.
He finally gave up with great reluctance.

The final combination of destiny traits is "castle + caretaker + country folk".
After confirmation.
Roger's character card has also been refreshed and changed.
on the property bar.

"Name: Roger"

"Appearance: ★★☆☆☆"

「Health: ★★☆☆☆」

「Energy: ★★☆☆☆」

"Inspiration: ★★☆☆☆" (Your dream is slightly disturbed. From the moment you enter the strange dream , you are destined to be different from ordinary mortals. You may have the opportunity to hear sacred sounds or blasphemous words, but this may not be a good thing)

"Wealth: ★☆☆☆☆"

"Combat: ★★☆☆☆" (You have received basic combat training and have excellent wilderness survival experience. With complete tools, you can fight against most prey in the wild.
But please don't be careless, in front of nature and gods, humans are always weak)

"Outlier value: ★★☆☆☆ (1+1) (The adventers always easily attract extra attention from the corresponding historical gods. Your life is full of dangers, please be careful at all times!)"

See the comment after "Outliers" that was not displayed last time.
Roger finally understood why he died so suddenly the first time!
The Adventer has an abnormal value of 1 point.
The two-faced man and the cultists probably attracted a lot of hatred.
The last time I entered.
The estimated number of hidden outliers is already quite high!
It is reasonable to encounter high-risk decisions at the beginning.
"What a shame for a perfect start."
"If you can handle it, it should be smooth sailing..."
Roger sighed inwardly.
He immediately tensed his mind.
The abnormal value that befell him this time was also not low.
You still need to be careful!

"About to enter Yuanwang Town, special mechanism inspection in progress..."

"You have triggered the special mechanism 'Past and Present Life'. Will you inherit the grudges of your past life?
After inheritance.
You will randomly gain a bit of attributes from your previous life, and get clues about 'revenge' at the right time.
After completing 'Revenge'.
You can get a mysterious reward

Roger clicked "Inherit" without thinking!
Although this time we decided to develop steadily.
But he is not a coward!
He wants to stab back the 13 times he stabbed himself in his previous life!

"The inheritance of grudges is complete. You have gained an 'enemy' (?), and you have gained 1 point of 'health' from the 'barber's apprentice'."

"Health: ★★★☆☆" (You are as strong as an ox. The docks are in need of laborers like you. For the same hard work in a day, you can earn 1.5 times the wages of others)

Roger was still very satisfied with his health at 3 o'clock.
At least he can still do hard labor when he is desperate, right?
At that moment, he carefully read and thought about the information about his "enemy".
And then choose to come!

"Record: In the year of the Third Era, you came to 'Farlook Town'..."

"Location: On the corridor of the lobby on the first floor of the Bishop's Building of the Church Hospital"

"Record: You hear a series of sharp or deep voices.

"It hurts! It hurts! Kill me! My leg!"
"Hold him, damn it! Hold him!"
"Doctor! That's my leg! You sawed off the wrong leg...Ah!"
"Narcotics! Forget it! Give me poppy flower milk..."

Eight o'clock in the evening.
You sit on an old bench.
My eyes are dull and my whole body aches.
You've been busy all day.
It's almost time to get off work.
You rarely have time to rest in a chair.

The caregiver's off-duty bell will ring in 30 minutes.
During this period.
You decide—

Option 1: Walk around.

Option 2: Do nothing

Incandescent light seeped in from the crack in the operating room door.
It hurt Roger's eyes.
After reading the above text.
His consciousness finally returned to the body of the "nurse" from the suspended third-party perspective.
It is still a camera-like perspective.
The difference is that Roger can occasionally move his head from side to side.
In order to gain more vision.
This is a relatively deserted corridor.
At the end of the corridor is the operating room.
An unconventional operation was going on inside.
Nurse Roger's last job of the day is to send the patient or body to where he should go after the operation is completed.
Faced with a newly refreshed choice.
Roger thought seriously.
Until the countdown time runs out.
He chose option 2.
"My current outlier value is two stars. If I walk around casually, I'm afraid I'll be killed..."
Thinking so.
Roger could feel his body leaning back against the chair.
The boring time passed by minute by minute.
The operation is still going on.
10 minutes later.
A short shadow suddenly appeared at the other end of the corridor!
It was a male patient with bandages on his hands and waist.
The hospital gown he was wearing was too big for him.
The "Bed 11" sign on his chest was extremely eye-catching under the lights of the operating room.
There was a faint smile on his face.
The patient seemed to know the "care worker" and came over to greet him:
"Hey! Roger."
"When I was brushing my teeth today, I saw my intestines coming out. That wicked doctor must have failed to sew my wound properly. Can you help me check my stomach?"
Speaking of.
The patient even puffed out his stomach.
A bloody area was exposed between the waist and abdomen!
That bandage looks moldy.
But Roger didn't see any intestines.
He couldn't help but raise his eyelids.

"Faced with the request of the patient in bed 11, what would you choose?

Option 1: Say "Don't be ridiculous, it's just a bandage!" and gently push him away.

Option 2: Say "Come on, let me help you put your intestines back in!" and punch him in the stomach.

Option 3: Do nothing

“I’m just a caregiver.”
“I just want to get off work.”
"It's not in line with my personality to stir up trouble..."
Roger silently recited the brainwashing package he prepared for himself.
Then I decisively chose three!

The nurse sat numbly in the chair.
The patient spat on the ground.
Left angrily.
Nothing happened.
He was the only one left in the corridor again.

"Hint: You missed 1 clue"

“Next, until the end of get off work.
It will all be 'everyday time'.
You can choose to 'fast forward' or 'skip' the daily time.
You can also choose to experience the whole journey.

“It turns out you can fast forward…”
"That's right, that makes sense."
Roger nodded secretly in his heart.
But out of caution.
He didn't choose to fast forward.
He decided to observe the hospital environment for a while.
In order to deal with the troubles that may arise next.
that's all.
Another 20 minutes passed.
The bell for the end of get off work rang.
The nurse perked up and stood up from the chair.
In the operating room.
A group of people came out, surrounding a doctor wearing bloody gloves.
"That's it for today. Remember to feed him more poppy flower milk later. We can continue when we go to work tomorrow..."
The doctor finished speaking.
Then he walked away nonchalantly.
Roger glanced quietly into the operating room.
I saw a patient with his stomach cut open lying on the operating table.
Then someone closed the door.
She was a pretty nurse.
It seemed that he noticed Roger's gaze.
She smiled sweetly at him.
Roger lowered his head in uncontrollable shyness.
Very quickly.
Most of the people in the corridor had left.
The nurse also went all the way back to the cramped locker room.
When he was changing his clothes.
The sound of two other colleagues talking came from next door.

"The patient in bed 11 bit someone again..."
"Yes, that madman has bitten three people in a row. I'm afraid he will disappear soon."
“Who was bitten today?”
"I don't know, maybe he's also a patient."

After changing clothes.
The nurse walked out of the locker room with a calm expression.
What happened in the conversation was probably commonplace to him.
But Roger couldn't help feeling a sense of luck.
Luckily he didn't cause any trouble!
Otherwise, you might be the one getting bitten!
God knows what disease the other person has.
When thinking like this.
The nurse has arrived near the back door fence of the hospital.
In the dark night.
The sky is overcast.
Suddenly.
There was a heavy rain in the sky!
It was late autumn.
The raindrops are cold.

"Voice of Caregivers:
You will definitely catch a cold if you get caught in the rain in this kind of weather!
Fortunately, I brought an umbrella.
Otherwise it might affect tomorrow’s work.”

This feeling is quite interesting.
Roger read the caregiver's thoughts as if he was watching a short movie and looked forward to his interaction with the people around him.
He calmly adjusted his perspective.
The next moment.
A puff sound was heard.
A large black umbrella opened in his hands.
The caregiver was about to walk into the heavy rain.
But his steps soon stopped.
Because in the building within the wall.
There is also a lonely figure.
It's the nurse in the operating room!
By now she had taken off her nurse's uniform.
She was wearing a thin autumn coat on her upper body.
The lower body is a black pleated skirt.
The slender calves are wrapped in a layer of close-fitting white textile.
It's a bit like the texture of white stockings.
When the nurse looked at her.
The latter also looked over helplessly.

"When you are leaving get off work and encounter heavy rain, and find that a colleague you have met several times did not bring an umbrella, please choose -

You gain a higher-dimensional perspective (triggered once every 3 decisions).
High-dimensional perspective: You will know the hidden information or selection results behind some options.

Option 1: Offer to give her a ride.
(Hidden message: The followers of the Grail of Evil will have another feast)

Option 2: Sell her the umbrella at a high price and go home in the rain.
(Selection result: Nurse Mary's favorability -1; wealth +1; probability of catching a cold +70%)

Option 3: Do nothing (nothing will happen)

"So this is how the high-dimensional perspective is used!"
Roger suddenly realized.
The last time he died suddenly, it happened too quickly.
So much so that the effect of this blessing was not triggered!
And with the assistance of a high-dimensional perspective.
The three options are clear at a glance.
This beautiful nurse in front of me might also be a vicious cultist.
One or two of them may bring trouble to you.
Roger had no choice.
Now.
He went against the wishes of his caregiver.
He walked past Nurse Mary indifferently.
Finally stepped into the rain.
Only a chic back was left to the nurse.

20 minutes later.
The third floor of an old house in the bungalow area.
The washbasin placed under the leaking ceiling was already full.
Roger emptied the basin.
Then put it back in place.
With the sound of dripping water.
Roger examined the new hint carefully.

"Hint: You have successfully made the first three decisions and started the first phase of the mission."

「Phase 1 Mission: Integrate into the World」
"Description: Live like an ordinary person for a period of time, thereby eliminating 'outliers' to zero"
"Note: Even an abnormal value of 1 star may bring you fatal disaster."
"Reward: Unknown"

Read the task description.
Roger has roughly figured out the routine of 'Legacy of Time'.
At the beginning of advent.
It’s better to just stay calm and content for now.
After all the outliers are eliminated, it is Roger's time to shine.
So he controlled the caregiver's body.
Between "reading at home" and "going downstairs to play cards", I chose the former.
After 60 minutes of reading.
on the property bar.

"Energy: ☆☆☆☆☆ (You are very tired, it's time to rest)"

"Your historical knowledge (Yuanwang Town) +10"

"Your character is about to fall asleep. Do you want to skip the sleep time? (If there is a dream choice, there will be a prompt)"

Roger decisively chose to skip it.
Next second.
It's dawn.
The blurry scene turns into a clear perspective like in a movie.
The nurse got up and washed as usual.
When going downstairs.
He noticed that the rain outside had stopped.
But he still brought the big black umbrella.
When buying breakfast on the street.
The nurse heard people discussing that a bloodless male corpse had appeared in the next block.
The nurse knew that the male corpse was a well-known drunkard in the neighborhood.
But he remembered more clearly.
Next block.
It was the neighborhood where Nurse Mary lived.
So he hurriedly bought breakfast.
Without delaying for a moment, he rushed to the church hospital.
The hospital was still noisy.
The corridors were filled with formalin and other strange smells.
It's another busy working day.


Half a year later.
Wake up early in the morning.
The caregiver mechanically washed up, bought breakfast, and went to work.
And just before arriving at the hospital.
on the data bar.

"Congratulations! Your outliers have been cleared to zero!"

"You have completed the first stage of the task (integrating into the world), and you will no longer receive extra attention from 'God: Meng'"

"You have received a reward: All-round descent (free perspective + fully controllable body)"

"Your historical knowledge +10"

"You got a dusty expedition tool kit*1"
… …
That moment.
Roger almost cried for joy.
After more than half a year of fast-forwarding, skipping and watching movies.
His consciousness was finally completely attached to the caregiver!
He can now control this body freely.
Except for the fact that he had no choice in making decisions and having conversations, everything else was no different from the real world.
And in the past six months.
Roger's low-key attitude also paid off.
After the outliers are cleared.
His life would finally no longer be filled with crises at every step.
He has a clearer understanding of the world.
For example.
He learned that the people in Yuanwang Town believed in the supreme "Rain God Meng".
The power of the church is evident in every corner of the town.
Even the most rampant cultists.
Nor did they dare to openly oppose the Church of the Rain God.

For example.
The overall background of this world is a bit like a low-magic version of the Middle Ages.
But some areas are a little different.
He found out.
The dock area of ​​Yuanwang Town is filled with many psychics who claim to possess "supernatural powers".
But it is still difficult to distinguish whether it is true or false.
After all, psychics are the targets of severe suppression by the Rain God Church.

Overall.
Roger secured his foundation.
During this period.
He gained nearly 80 points of historical knowledge.
This is already a considerable fortune.
And Roger firmly believed it.
A truly good day.
It’s just the beginning.
Now that we have gotten rid of the trouble of outliers.
He can then start trying to break out of the vicious circle of being trapped in daily life.
But before that.
Roger still has to deal with two tags hanging around him.

"Poor people: As a caregiver with a meager salary, no matter how hard you work, you will never be able to save enough money after paying for the necessary expenses."

" Sub-health : Last month you had a serious illness, which not only consumed your already meager savings, but also sounded the alarm for your physical condition.
You realize that a hospital full of disease is not a place to stay for long.
But what can you do? 」

The serious illness last month almost took the character's life.
It also scared Roger into a cold sweat.
Although it was safe in the end.
But it also came with these two negative labels.
The former means that his wealth is at risk of falling by 1 star;
The latter directly resulted in two of the three stars representing health turning gray.

“We must find a way to make a change!”
"But don't rush it."
After breakfast.
Roger came to the hospital as usual.
Same as usual.
A busy morning is followed by an even busier afternoon.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
Roger was planning to take some time off to conserve his energy.
At this moment.
An emergency stretcher was suddenly delivered to the outside of the hospital.
There was a young face lying on the stretcher.
He was bleeding a lot.
"Send him to the operating room!"
A doctor said to Roger.
But only 15 seconds passed.
The doctor shook his head:
"Send him to the morgue!"
It became very noisy all around.
Roger ignored the noise.
His eyes were focused only on the young man who had just died.

"You have a new clue: the murdered barber's apprentice"

"Should we launch an investigation?"
