Facing Ikadore's questioning.
Roger was unusually speechless.
He couldn't possibly admit that he was shortsighted and made a mistake, could he?
Immediately, he repeatedly used the Qi-gazing technique on the giant octopus carrying the fairy mountain.
The data feedback indeed only showed one "Infinite Touch (Lv89)".
When I first saw this level.
Roger subconsciously thought that this was Icardore in disguise!
I never expected this.
They actually arrested the wrong person...
"Is the Infinite Touch a race?"
Roger frowned.
He was still thinking about how to negotiate with Ikadorei so as to trick him out.
Who knows what will happen in the next second.
This information came through the super-sensory link.
…
"Ikadore: Since you've already captured my wife, we're even now! It's not reasonable for you to bother me anymore! I'm leaving!"
…
"Extraordinary Perception: You sensed that the ancient evil creature Icardore escaped into a certain 'Meteoric Plane'"
…
In a trance.
Roger's gaze seemed to extend to the bottom of the sea.
In that endless darkness.
An octopus monster, only one-third the size of the female octopus in front of it, squeezed hard into a crack in the black mud.
It was a bit of a squeeze.
But it looks quite resilient.
In the blink of an eye.
The evil monster disappeared from Roger's sight.
So far.
All the black fog disappeared from the sea.
The aura of the ancient evil creature had also completely disappeared from Roger's perception!
Ikadore...
Just ran away like that!
Roger looked at the shivering female octopus.
I was extremely speechless.
Although his extraordinary perception captured Ikadorei's tracks before he escaped.
But it is almost impossible to find that place in the vast ocean.
Not to mention that the "Meteoric Plane" itself is also a very scary place!
The so-called meteorite plane.
In fact, it is also a kind of sub-plane.
It is just the most special existence in the sub-plane - most of the sub-planes will fall into the main material world on their own after their lifespan reaches the end, fall into the abyss of destruction, and eventually become food for the star beasts.
But the meteorite plane is different.
This sub-plane has various special reasons.
Although it has reached the end of its life.
But it hangs in the air and does not fall.
Don't think this is a good thing - it means that this plane may be attacked by star beasts at any time. After all, in the eyes of star beasts, the meteorite plane is the most delicious fruit.
Therefore, most meteorite planes are extremely dangerous.
Take the case of Ikadore.
I'm afraid he was really frightened by the tragic death of the Evil Blood.
That's why he doesn't even want his wife.
Just pack up and run away!
…
To this.
Roger could only sigh.
It was quite hurtful for him that he didn't catch Ikadorei.
After all, the Taoist master's beast taming circle is not an ordinary thing.
This thing is used to catch a 89 small octopus...
“This is a huge loss!”
"Unless this Infinite Touch can play other roles!"
Thinking so.
Roger quickly lowered the altitude of the Somersault Cloud.
Then he stayed on the sea surface by "walking on the sea".
The octopus saw Roger.
The mood became noticeably more tense.
Roger initiated a "super sensory link" with her.
But I don’t know if it’s because the other party is too nervous, I couldn’t get into the state after trying several times.
Seeing this.
Roger could only silently place his right hand on the female octopus's tentacles.
Then he stroked it gently a few times.
…
"Hint: You used the Hand of Degradation on 'Touch of the Endless'"
…
"Insight: You realize that Endless Touch's emotions have stabilized..."
…
"Insight: The Touch of Infinity begins to rejoice..."
…
"really……"
“It is a necessary process to lower your intelligence before communicating.”
Roger secretly complained in his heart.
This time he did the ideological work before calling.
It worked in one go!
As Ikadore's spouse.
Although this Infinite Touch cannot be considered an ancient evil creature.
But the perception is also good.
Once the super-sensory link is established successfully.
The communication between the two sides becomes smooth and seamless.
After a simple opening statement.
Roger got her name easily:
…
Hermes.
…
Maybe it was because Roger was quite gentle towards Hermes.
After the greetings.
The latter took the initiative to beg for mercy:
"I am not Ikadore, and I did not become his wife willingly. I was forced..."
"Can you please let me go?"
Roger replied calmly:
"Feel sorry."
"Due to a previous debt, Ikadore has pledged you to me."
"You are my servant now. I always keep my word. If I say a thousand years, it will be a thousand years. No more, but no less... Madam, you just shook a little. It's already 1,100 years..."
Hermes' voice was full of grievance:
"But I..."
"You can continue to raise any objections."
Roger said with a pleasant face:
"I am a democratic person and will consider your opinion."
"oops!"
"It shook again!"
"Go on..."
…
"I have no objection..."
Hermes said dejectedly.
Roger nodded slightly.
Now.
He asked a few innocuous questions.
Hermes answered quite readily.
Her mood gradually relaxed.
However, at this moment.
Roger suddenly asked a very sharp question:
"You are actually the one that those Black Mist believers believe in, right?"
"You are also the one who has been sabotaging and infiltrating Lotus Harbor over the years..."
"Am I right?"
Hermes panicked:
"It was Ikadore... He asked me to do it!"
"I didn't mean to hurt you humans."
"He forced me to do this... You have to believe me..."
Roger calmly closed his perception of the "thread of faith".
Next second.
He changed the subject again:
“Yes, yes, yes.
I want to believe that it was all Ikadore's doing.
But I suddenly had an interesting guess:
…
Is the image that I just captured, the image of Icardore escaping into the Meteorite plane, real?
In other words.
After I captured you.
Someone who communicates with me using the 'super sensory link'.
Is it possible that it was actually you?
Am I right?
Mr. Icardore?
You don’t have a wife at all? ! ! !
…
Or maybe.
The so-called wife.
Actually it’s you?
The Infinite Touch is actually a two-sex creature?"
…
Under Roger's extremely aggressive gaze and increasingly harsh words.
Hermes began to stammer:
"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"I don't understand."
“This is too complicated!”
Roger patted her head meaningfully:
"Never mind."
"I am just suspicious, not a bloodthirsty devil."
"As long as you complete the task for me quietly, I will not harm you."
…
Hermes was silent.
Roger could sense the extreme despair from her.
For him.
This conjecture is of course just a possibility.
In Mistra.
Everything is possible.
After all, Roger now has no other way to identify ancient evil objects except to chop it off with a knife and then check its quality.
From the perspective of usage.
Whether it is Hermes or Icardore.
Just help Roger with his work!
Anyway, the other party will never be able to escape from the Taoist master's beast taming circle!
In this way.
The initiative is always in Roger's hands.
Even if the other party wants to play tricks.
You can't escape from his grasp!
“Praise the Lord!”
Roger couldn't help but silently said this in his heart.
…
After a few words, he dispelled Hermes' idea of ​​doing evil.
Roger then told her the task he was going to assign to her.
Who knows what will happen after this.
Hermes replied in embarrassment:
"Feel sorry……"
"But that's simply impossible!"
Roger asked in surprise:
"Why?"
Holmes explained:
“It’s no problem to cross the Black Fog Sea.
But between the Black Mist Sea and the Southern Continent.
There is also a deep and terrifying "Boundary Sea".
The boundary sea blocks the communication between the two continents.
I can’t carry the mountain over there.”
…
Hear this.
Roger pondered and translated her words to the deputy sect leader Ji Qiu next to him.
Ji Qiu couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"nonsense."
"I grew up in the Southern Continent!"
"I floated here holding a sampan, so how come I have never seen the boundary sea she mentioned?"
"Master! Be careful, there may be a trap!"
Roger looked at Hermes.
The latter cried out madly in the super-sensory link:
“The bounded sea is formless and shapeless.
It is difficult for ordinary people to discover its existence.
It's like a giant sieve.
If only one or two people passed.
Of course there won't be much resistance.
But you are asking me to carry tens of thousands of people across the sea.
This will definitely hit the barrier of the boundary sea head-on!
If I were even more unlucky.
Maybe it will even attract the cloud of destruction and the messenger of God!
I really didn’t lie…”
…
"Sixth Sense: You sense that what Hermes says is true."
…
"You have acquired new terms: Sea Boundary and Barrier"
…
"Your knowledge (geography/planet) +20"
…
"So, what else do you know about the Sea of ​​Boundaries?"
Roger asked calmly.
Hermes dared not neglect it.
She then told him what she knew.
According to Hermes.
The boundary sea has existed for at least dozens of epochs!
In a sense.
It is like a "boundary river" that covers a wider area and is more difficult to cross.
It is precisely because of this that there is so little communication between the north and south continents.
And at the beginning of every era.
The 'messengers of the gods' would descend from their palaces.
They will come in various vehicles——
Sometimes it is a cloud of extinguishing embers.
Sometimes it's a mechanical ship.
Sometimes it's a strange dragon.
In short.
After carefully inspecting the sea boundary barrier.
Only then will the messengers of the gods leave.
but.
At the beginning of this era.
The messenger from God did not come as promised.
Hermes suspected that something went wrong with the "Palace of the Gods".
It is for this reason.
The ancient evil creatures of this era have become even more restless.
…
"However, I can only guarantee that the Boundary Sea is real. Everything else is what Ikadore told me!"
"I don't know if he is lying to me..."
Hermes said nervously.
Roger looked at her deeply, and instead of continuing to delve into the topic of "Is she Ikadorei herself?", he asked:
"Then where is the 'Palace of the Gods' that you mentioned?"
"In the sky."
Hermes answered decisively:
"They came from heaven, so of course they live in heaven."
“I can’t see it though, Ikadore mentioned it to me.
On a moonlit night.
Look hard in the direction of the moon.
If your eyesight is good enough.
You will be able to see the palace of the gods."
…
Heaven?
Roger couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Mystra's skies are gray most of the time.
It seemed like it might rain at any moment.
But even when the sun is at its strongest.
The sky won't be particularly bright.
It's not because of the cloud.
But the sky itself is this color.
Roger looked up for a moment.
Nothing seen.
I almost hurt my eyes because of the strong sunlight during the day!
…
…
"Find someone to verify her statement."
"There are many fishermen in Lotus Harbor. If the Boundary Sea really exists, there should be corresponding records in the city."
"By the way, check out that 'Palace of the Gods' as well."
Roger rubbed his eyes.
After letting Ji Qiu assign these tasks.
He left the sea.
When leaving.
Roger felt a little heavy.
If what Hermes said was true.
Then the "Wandering Qingquan Mountain" plan would be at risk of bankruptcy.
What to do with these tens of thousands of people on the mountain will become a very tricky problem.
not to mention.
And the residents of Lotus Harbor—
It is an obvious fact that the northern continent is becoming less and less habitable.
And after arriving at Qingquan Mountain.
Many civilians in Lotus Port also want to follow.
After contacting Mia.
Roger learned that the number of these people was about 50,000.
This made Roger feel what it was like to be under tremendous pressure for the first time!
"really."
"Being self-sufficient and benefiting the world are two completely different levels of difficulty..."
Roger laughed to himself.
The difficulties are not small.
But he had made up his mind.
We must find a piece of pure land for these ordinary people who have nowhere to live!
This is his promise.
It is also his original intention.
…
That night.
Qingquan Mountain.
In the "Stargazing Pavilion" where a lot of dust has accumulated.
Ah Qi was working hard on an old instrument.
"Ajie, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"The Stargazing Pavilion is full of old items. Even if there is a formation to maintain them, they may not be useful. We need to repair them in advance..."
"Hehe... Fortunately I still remember how to use it..."
Speaking of.
She pushed the huge spherical instrument in front of Roger.
"Well, just bend down and crawl in."
"Don't drill too deep..."
"It will hit the key part..."
“It’ll break!”
Ah Qi instructed.
Roger nodded and did as he was told, recalling his experiences tonight.
…
Tonight is a moonlit night.
But with Roger's current eyesight.
I still couldn't see the palace of the gods that Hermes mentioned.
This made him wonder if Hermes was talking nonsense.
But not long after nightfall.
Ji Qiu found him with an unhappy look on his face.
Tell him that there are indeed records about the "Boundary Sea" in Lotus Harbor—
Whenever a large fishing boat or merchant ship attempts to cross the waters south of the Black Fog Sea, it will run into a strange barrier.
And once this happens.
At the very least, the ship will be bounced back.
In serious cases, the ship will be destroyed and people will die!
That is to say.
The boundary sea barrier does exist!
At least on this point.
Hermes wasn't lying!
And want to solve this barrier.
The only entry point is the "Tian Shen Palace"!
to this end.
Roger tried many methods.
The existence of the palace could never be detected.
And just when he was about to give up.
Elder Ah Qi, who was wandering around, suddenly stepped forward!
She ran over and told him.
There is also a "Stargazing Pavilion" on Qingquan Mountain!
There is a formation in the Stargazing Pavilion.
Its name is "Peeking into the Sky".
The purpose is naturally obvious.
…
Between thoughts.
Roger successfully got into the strange sphere.
Follow Ah Qi's instructions.
He injected a large amount of air into the jade grooves on both sides!
For a while.
The top of his head suddenly became pitch black.
Immediately following.
The bright moonlight filled the "starry sky" above his head.
…
"Did you see that?"
"If you turn the center of the formation left or right, it should be able to zoom in or out!"
"But you have to hold it gently..."
Ah Qi was actively directing outside.
Roger hurriedly tried to turn the ball under the jade groove.
Not long.
A huge moon appeared above Roger's head.
Above the moon.
Suddenly, a small milky white halo appeared.
Roger magnified it many times.
It's time.
He saw clearly—
The white halo turned out to be a whale-like creature suspended between Mystra and the moon!
The whale has a big head and a long tail.
On its back there are a number of extremely magnificent buildings!
…
"Hint: You have discovered 'God's Palace: White Whale of the Star Realm'"
…
"Your knowledge (outside the planet) +20"
…
"Sky-gazing Device: Already adjusted to the highest magnification, cannot be magnified any further..."
…
"You found a large number of monsters inside the 'Star White Whale'..."
…
"Oh My God……"
That moment.
Roger didn't know how to describe his feelings!
He saw that the lower half of the huge white whale's body was plugged with a large number of mechanical pipes.
The pipes hung down like baleen.
Scattered throughout Mystra!
Inside the belly of the white whale, light and shadow overlap.
Some areas are semi-transparent.
Roger saw a lot of monsters in it.
…
An unknown robot with flashing red light.
…
A mechanical monster that resembles a chariot.
…
A half-vegetable demon.
…
There is also an angelic creature with black light all over its body !
But Roger took a closer look.
It was discovered that the 'angel' had a series of centipede-shaped iron pipes on his back.
His expression was dull and his eyes were fierce.
Even at such a long distance.
Roger could also feel the evil in it!
Roger could swear!
This was the most magnificent spectacle he had ever seen since he traveled through time!
…
"Is this the palace of the gods?"
"My sin mark and killing order are ready to be used..."
Roger felt as if all the blood in his body was on fire.
He repeatedly moved the angle of the "Sky Viewing Device".
What a pity.
That's only a small part of the translucent area of ​​the Star Realm White Whale.
No matter how he does it.
There is no way to see more monsters.
And this is just 3 minutes of observation.
Half of Roger's energy was consumed!
This forced him to speed up his observation.
…
"If the opportunity to resolve the Boundary Sea is really up there, we have to find a way to get up there!"
"And since it is the palace of the gods, it may even contain the secret of how the gods can destroy the world!"
When thinking like this.
Suddenly, two shadows passed by Roger's eyes!
There were two women.
Roger's eyes suddenly widened.
…
"Hint: You have discovered your disciple 'Qin', your granddaughter 'Vera', and your servant Frost Gargoyle..."
… …
"How did they get to the sky?"
"No wonder the traces we left earlier disappeared near the Black Mist Sea..."
Roger's mind was full of questions:
"Wait, where's the gargoyle?"
Before Roger could see everything clearly.
The two figures flashed by.
Immediately following.
It seemed like they had a battle with the monster in the white whale's stomach.
Roger could only see a little bit of the aftermath of the fight!
A while later.
Roger's energy was exhausted.
At that moment, he could only reluctantly exit the "Sky-peeping Instrument".
He told Ji Qiu and A Qi about his observation results.
Both of them were very surprised.
We have lived on this planet for so long.
No one had noticed that there was such a majestic beast wandering between the stars and the moon!
In fact.
If Ah Qi hadn't suddenly remembered that there was a thing called the Sky-Watching Instrument in Qingquan Mountain.
I'm afraid Roger will have to find another way to confirm the existence of the "Palace of the Gods"!
And now.
He not only confirmed Hermes's account.
He even unexpectedly discovered traces of Qin and Vera in the palace!
This makes Roger's "journey to the moon" even more necessary.
…
"The question now is...how do we get up there?"
Roger fell into deep thought.
It's obviously not possible to fly up directly.
His current sword-controlling skills can only allow him to fly up to one or two thousand meters in the sky.
The imperial eagle can fly at an altitude of about 20,000 meters.
But according to the observations of the Sky-Watching Observatory.
The Star Realm White Whale is at least 40,000 kilometers away from the earth's surface!
That's not the sky anymore.
But outer space!
Roger didn't know how Qin and the others got up there.
If he hadn't turned on "Absolute Insight" throughout the observation process.
He even suspected that someone was casting an illusion to confuse him!
…
After some thought.
Roger helplessly discovered that with his current means, the only way he could do was to activate the "UFO" starship he got from Hongye.
There is no way to get close to that interstellar white whale!
However, launching a starship is not a matter of overnight.
Before that.
Roger has to build a starship launching base first.
You also need to recruit enough "Starship Sailors"!
Otherwise, if you force yourself to do it alone, you will be too busy if something happens.
"I still have to ask Hermes..."
Thinking so.
Roger came to the surface of the sea again.
After night falls.
The people on the mountain have gone to rest.
But the octopus monster at the bottom of the mountain is still working diligently to maintain its balance.
Roger watched secretly for a while.
This is how the invisibility is lifted.
"Do you know any way to reach the palace of the gods?"
He asked straight to the point.
Hermes thought for a moment:
"It seems that only by following the gods' messengers can we have the opportunity to enter and leave the palace."
"But Ikadore once joked with me that if his climbing points were high enough, he could climb up along the Sky Cableway and eat all the gods' messengers inside..."
Sky cableway?
Upon hearing this.
Roger immediately thought of the "tentacles" that were sprinkled from the white whale!
Certainly some of those mechanical pipes must have touched the ground.
He then asked calmly:
"Where is the nearest sky cableway?"
Hermes said cheerfully:
"Northeast."
“There’s a place with lots of bird people.”
Roger was stunned.
He slapped his head!
"It's Sky Nest!"
…
"Hint: You discovered the 'Secret of the Sky Nest'"
…
"You have triggered the exploration mission: Above the sky"
…
"Mission description: Start from the Sky Nest and explore as much of the sky as possible!"
…
"Mission Reward: After exploring a new area that meets the 'above the sky' standard.
You will get 1 new XP pool.
…
Note: Exploration completion means that the exploration level of the relevant area exceeds 70%."
…
"Finally I have a place to store my XP!"
Roger was delighted.
But he immediately began to murmur again:
"It was hard enough for me to climb to an altitude of 20,000 meters with my bare hands before."
"Now we have to climb a 40,000-kilometer cableway?"
"Won't my arms, legs and thighs be completely bare after crawling?"
But that's it.
There doesn't seem to be any better way.
The next few days.
Roger took care of some trivial matters in Qingquan Mountain and Lotus Port.
So he rushed to the northeast without stopping.
Somersault Cloud and Will-O-W-Fire took turns to attack.
After most of the day.
Roger successfully crossed the Great Desert and the Southern Cemetery and arrived in the south of Spring Valley.
The terrain ahead is low.
There is a pool of water.
There are valleys too.
There was thick fog all around.
That was the "miasma land" that had poisoned Roger and caused him to suffer from repeated diarrhea!
In order to get to the sky cableway as soon as possible.
Roger originally wanted to avoid this damn place.
Who knew it would happen at this moment.
His senses began to jump!
…
"Heavenly Ascension: You sensed the presence of a 'pillar-level item' in the mist ahead."
…
"Do you want to enter?"
…
"Warning: The poisonous fog ahead is quite intense, and your poison resistance is not enough to completely immunize it..."
…
This line of warnings has not yet finished displaying.
Outside the miasma-filled area, the sound of water pouring could be heard!
…
"Hint: You have taken the 'Strong Poison Resistance Drug', your poison resistance +5"
…
"You have taken 'Anti-Toxin Syrup', your poison resistance +2"
…
"You have consumed the 'Holy Water of the Sea Serpent Queen'. Your poison resistance is +3."
…
“Let’s fight!”
Roger rushed in with red eyes.
…
