I'm Going to Speed Things Up!
"But."
"It could also be a mixture of truth and falsehood."
Roger thought about it and overturned his somewhat arbitrary judgment.
He got up and looked around.
With the support of 700 points of True Sight.
He could see everything within a 14-kilometer radius with perfect clarity—even the feathers on the Harpy to the south were clearly visible.
This feeling is quite nice.
But he still couldn't find any trace of the attackers.
This shows that the other party came prepared.
Considering the seemingly "innocent" Meteorite Spell just now, the opponent's identity is already obvious.
That was the "God of War" that Roger had been thinking about! He recalled the various clues he had found in Greywater Swamp Land and Spring Day Valley.
Roger's mind became incredibly clear.
He began to piece together the whole story, bit by bit.
The root of everything must be the Spring Valley Incident.
At first glance.
In the battle for the Drop Pod, there were only two contenders: the God of Tainted Blood and the Captain.
But with a little thought, it's not hard to deduce—
It's impossible that only the God of Tainted Blood sensed the arrival of the Drop Pod!
There must have been a third or fourth party involved, and it's even possible that a small-scale melee broke out! After the melee...
The God of Tainted Blood probably didn't gain anything, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
The Captain's condition remains uncertain.
But he must have obtained that mysterious item and placed it together with the rest of the items he brought to Mystra.
Decades later.
Someone obtained these items by accident—the exact method is hard to say, it could be that they found the Captain's remains, or they might have killed the Captain was in poor condition.
That person is the "God of War".
The reason the Captain himself was excluded from the "God of War" candidate list is because, in Roger's view, everything that happened in Greywater Swamp Land was more like an experiment! In particular, the use of the "Super Culture Fluid" was extremely careless.
If it's the Captain himself.
He certainly knew very well what this culture medium meant for frogmen.
The collapse of Greywater Swamp Land was caused by a series of chain reactions resulting from the Great Explosion of frogmen.
The end result was that the entire Sub-Plane perished along with the frogmen!...
Roger deduced:
The original plan for "God of War" was not this radical.
However, his act of poisoning provoked the other party.
After the toxic stones were identified.
"God of War" must have accelerated the pace of troop production, which led to the current situation.
So what kind of experiment would require such a large population to support it?
Keywords: temple, Divine Duty, Divine Power Shield.
Add to that the cringeworthy name "God of War".
Roger had already guessed what the mysterious item the Captain had brought to Mystra was.
That thing is most likely a forbidden item for the Cowas People —the secret to their perpetual wandering—and something the gods would not tolerate: a "Simulated Divinity"!...
"If it's a Simulated Divinity, then everything makes sense."
Roger calmly analyzed:
"It's safe to say that the God of War is a cunning old fox, he's such a coward!"
"I even sprayed him in the face with my spray, and he didn't utter a sound; it wasn't until the Sub-Plane collapsed that he dared to unleash a 'harmless' Meteorite Spell on me."
This spell is more like a warning.
A very vague warning.
The opponent is clearly very strong, at least Extraordinary Mage, and possesses the ability to shield their senses or conceal their malice—
Yet he dared not fight Roger, even his sneak attack was so hesitant! This shows that the other party was very wary of him.
This thought came to mind.
Roger cast a divination with ease and pleasure.
"Divination: The God of War is a high-ranking member of the Truth Society"
The next moment.
A panoramic view of Gem City appeared before his eyes.
Truth Mountain stands high above.
But strangely, the surrounding floating islands disappeared.
Just as Roger was about to take a closer look...
Thick tentacles suddenly burst forth from the ground.
It wraps around Truth Mountain layer by layer.
Roger was very familiar with those tentacles.
"Icadore!"
He heard hysterical shouts in his ear.
Then came endless lightning and torrential rain.
"Divination result: It cannot be determined whether the God of War is a high-ranking member of the Truth Society, but his identity seems to be related to the Ancient Evil Icadore."
"It's Xiao Yi again..."
Roger raised an eyebrow.
The result was slightly beyond his expectations, but still within his control.
With the involvement of Ancient Evil, the divination results themselves become unreliable.
The scene he saw might have been a deliberate attempt to create mystery.
"A mix of reality and illusion..."
"This style is quite similar to mine."
Roger hesitated for a moment.
A short list of suspects appeared in his mind.
The two most likely candidates to be "God of War" are:
Firstly.
The current president of the Truth Society Bard Schulant.
Secondly.
The owner of Floating Island 4, Kalsart Yu Song.
The reason for doubting Bard was based on their only meeting.
Roger once sensed a divine aura in him.
The taste was very mild.
But that's enough to put him at the top of the list.
As for the suspicions about Yu Song.
Roger didn't have any basis for his claim.
If he had to pinpoint a reason, it was that when he left the floating island, he had a strong premonition that he would soon meet Yu Song.
The level of interaction tonight could be considered a meeting, right?
Roger himself found it absurd.
But instinctively, he still placed Yu Song in second place.
The remaining people were all Extraordinary Mage from the Truth Society.
Before capturing the God of War.
Every one of them is a suspect!
Outside the canyon.
Bottle after bottle of medicine was poured down his throat as if it were free.
The dying underlings quickly turned into severely injured ones.
Not long after.
The Logistics Group then arrived and carried them away.
With the devils' robust physique, they'll be back to their energetic selves in just a few days.
In the Underground City.
Roger found Wu Gu, the head of the Logistics Group, and gave him instructions:
"Go and find Shar."
"Have her tell the people at the Truth Society that I was attacked, and that the assailant was a high-ranking member of the Truth Society who used the 6th-circle Meteorite Spell."
"I'll give them a month to hand over the murderer, or I'll destroy Truth Mountain."
Wu Gu stared at Roger in disbelief.
"Just remember to relay his original words."
Roger said calmly.
Wu Gu scratched his head and had no choice but to quickly get to work.
Watching Wu Gu's departing figure.
Roger smiled silently.
Being timid and low-key is a winning strategy.
But he doesn't only know this one method.
Applying maximum pressure.
It is another very useful winning strategy.
Anyway, everyone on Truth Mountain already knew about his "strength".
Perhaps we should put some pressure on them.
That old fox only needs to show a little more of his cunning.
Roger is confident he can catch him!
At that time.
He will have a good discussion with the other party about tonight's Meteorite Spell.
For the next period of time.
Roger increased security in the Underground City.
His life is regular and fulfilling.
In the morning, I practice boxing, martial arts, and familiarize myself with the new expansion, "Ammunition Expert."
At noon, we went to the Harpy's lair to have some fun.
Find a lone Harpy and have a heart-to-heart talk.
Evenings are the time for instruction.
Qin's talent Martial Artist is truly terrifying.
In less than a week, he had mastered the "entering the inner chamber" stage of the Mountain Splitting Fist.
In terms of Qi cultivation.
Furthermore, both of his orifices were fully opened!
This completely dispelled Roger's feelings of jealousy.
Gradually.
He reduced the frequency of his visits to the piano room.
Sometime later.
When Roger entered the room, he was startled to see a small moon bear sitting cross-legged on the bed. "What are you doing?"
Little Moon Bear blinked its eyes:
"I feel that in this form, the energy in my body increases faster."
Roger gave a blank "Oh".
But inside, he was screaming and crying out to the heavens:
"Hurry up, don't go any faster!"
"If you keep going like this, you'll be ready to graduate!"
However, it seems that the rules of the Clear Spring Sect do not prohibit bear spirits from practicing Qi.
He had no choice but to give up.
He observed silently for a while, making sure that Qin wouldn't Bewitched, before turning and leaving.
Before leaving.
He suddenly noticed a detail.
Tonight, the moon bear transforms into a lyre.
It's not male anymore.
One week later.
Wu Gu, weary from his journey, brought back a handwritten letter from Shar.
The letter said...
Roger's words have caused an uproar on the floating island.
The higher-ups of the Truth Society were suspicious of each other, leading to fierce disputes and conflicts.
During this period.
Three people attempted to visit Roger's residence.
The first person.
He is Bard, the president of the Truth Society.
The second person.
He is Yu Song, the owner of Floating Island 4.
The third person.
He was a gray-robed mage who wished to remain anonymous and unseen.
He swore that Roger had sabotaged his experiment.
He wants a fair duel with Roger!
"That's interesting."
Roger put down the letter.
He said in a relaxed tone, "Please call Qin for me."
"Just tell her I'm taking her to a fun place."
evening.
North of the Wind Chasing Mountain Range.
A deafening roar, like that of a ferocious beast, echoed through the heavens.
On the rugged path.
A ghostly figure is speeding forward at Lightning Speed speed!
The place where the "Ghostfire" passes through.
Sandstorms are raging.
Chaos erupted.
Roger gripped the handlebars of the motorcycle tightly and shouted:
"Hurry up!"
"I need to speed up!"
The girl instinctively hugged his waist tightly.
A loud noise exploded from the ground.
It scared away countless monsters.
A black bolt of lightning bolt bolted wildly out of Wind Chasing Trail!
After leaving the mountainous area.
In the distance stretches an endless plain and dotted with floating islands.
The jet-black beast drew a straight line across the earth.
The gargoyle hovered above my head.
In the midst of the whistling.
They left the wind and sand behind.
In the rearview mirror.
It was a girl's messy hair.
And the slowly setting sun.
It was getting dark.
The Ghostfire slowly came to a stop outside Sunrise Town.
Roger got out of the car and was about to help the passenger behind him.
The girl nimbly rolled over and got down on her own.
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Roger asked with concern.
Qin nodded.
Then he tilted his head to the side.
He started vomiting uncontrollably.
