"Extraordinary Perception: The Emperor Eagle requests to establish an ' Super-Sense Link,' please grant permission?"

"Super-Sense Link: A secure and effective way to establish private communication when both parties' perception levels are above 20."

Roger looked around, shrank back a little, and then agreed.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart.

It was as if an invisible bridge had been built between him and the Emperor Eagle.

However, unlike what is described in some novels, Roger and the Emperor Eagle could not communicate telepathically at will after establishing Super-Sense Link.

In fact.

"Super-Sense Link" is more like a chat channel established between two signal towers with strong receiving capabilities but weak output capabilities.

Both parties have to expend a lot of energy to send messages.

This resulted in their communication style resembling that of a chat room from the era of low-speed internet.

"Emperor Eagle:... Help! My life!"

Roger: What's your name? What's your relationship with the harpies?

Then came the long wait.

After a while.

"Emperor Eagle:... Can you hear me?"

Roger: How can I save you?

"Emperor Eagle: My name is Larion, I come from the Winter Snow Mountain, and I am the prince of the Emperor Eagle clan."

I was attacked and knocked unconscious while out foraging for food. When I woke up, I had become the goddess of this group of Harpy?

That's what they say.

They seemed to worship me as a god, praying for me every day, but I couldn't feel their faith.

All of this was a nightmare for me.

They asked me to incubate their eggs, but Prince Larion doesn't know how to incubate eggs...

Roger: I can hear you... Can you speak faster?

"Notice: The Super-Sense Link you established has been interrupted..."

that's all.

The system is plagued by frequent latency, stuttering, and disconnections.

Roger completed his first experience on the interdimensional chat network.

In the end, both sides were exhausted.

No one wanted to say another word.

In the corner of the second lap.

Roger shoveled the Turtle Power Fortifier into his mouth with lifeless eyes, as if his soul had been ripped out.

It took him a long time to realize it.

The bottle was empty.

On the data panel.

"You've completed a 4-hour Super-Sense Link, achieving a new milestone - Surfing the Internet."

"Surfing the Internet: You Surfing the Internet too?"

"Corresponding title: Nostalgic Person (All items' durability consumption rate is halved)"

This title is not bad for Roger.

But right now, what he cares about most is the situation in Sky Nest.

Through in-depth communication with Prince Larion.

Roger learned the following points.

First.

The first level of the Sky Nest only contains the Harpy, a single type of monster.

I don't know what kind of Emperor Eagle is on the second floor.

But Larion is certain.

In the Sky Nest, each level is clearly defined, and monsters from other levels will never come down easily.

This means Roger can go all out and make a big splash.

second.

Larion had discerned that a mysterious sorcerer was behind these Harpy.

He suspected that the monk was the one who had imprisoned him.

But recently he lost his senses of the monk.

He guessed that the monk was either dead or had left the area.

At the edge of the third lap.

There is a human hut, and there should be some things left behind by that mage inside.

third.

The Harpy's attitude towards Larion was indeed one of worship.

Although he could not sense any Power of Faith.

But aside from asking him to help incubate the eggs, the Harpy didn't do anything too outrageous to him.

Instead, they thoughtfully built many hot springs on the Sky Nest to please Larion.

The water vapor Roger saw.

It was created from those pools of hot springs.

This information is combined.

Roger already understood.

Once he had regained his strength, he used the Shadow Cloak to sneak towards the hut that Larion had mentioned.

Outside the cabin.

It has two layers of defensive barriers, one inside and one outside.

But in the face of "Yu Song's Magic Sword", all barriers are just a thin membrane.

Roger broke it with a single poke.

Not long after.

He then entered the cabin without any problems.

Just as he had expected.

He found a large number of daily necessities and magical implements in the small house.

All the clues left behind here point to the same person—

Kalsart Yu Song.

Roger found the "Jade Spring Token" and a diary that was practically signed Yu Song in the desk in the cabin.

The diary entries were quite bland.

It's nothing more Yu Song unexpectedly obtaining some magical item.

He planned to conduct experiments on Harpy and frogmen.

The existence of Sky Nest and Greywater Swamp Land provided the necessary conditions for these experiments.

As for Prince Larion.

There was no mention of it in the diary.

It seems to have been just an accident.

"Even the Jade Spring Token has been delivered to our door."

"They're really afraid I won't know it was Yu Song who did it."

Roger suddenly smiled.

As it stands now.

The other party adopted an extremely low stance, attempting to cover everything up and appease the situation with the utmost caution.

Although he didn't intend to pursue the matter, he knew perfectly well that this was definitely related to faith!

It is highly likely that this is the "Simulated Divinity" that Roger guessed! Because there is a detail in Prince Larion's words: the Harpy worship him and treat him very well.

But he didn't feel any faith.

So where has faith gone? Yu Song is certainly the prime suspect.

It's a pity.

He is dead.

Only the living can steal faith.

"It seems he was unaware of Yu Song's death."

This is a very crucial piece of information.

After getting everything in the house sorted out.

Roger found a miniature "Ether Gate" behind the cabin.

This must be the way Yu Song went up and down the Sky Nest.

Out of caution.

Roger placed his hands on the edges of the runes inscribed on the ground.

His eyes carefully scanned every detail.

"Sixth Sense: This Ether Gate is functioning normally, with no signs of problems."

"Ether Knowledge (40): You have conducted an in-depth inspection of the Ether Gate in front of you using your own Ether Knowledge, and you can confirm that there are no security risks associated with this gate."

"Call."

"It should be fine now."

"After all, to tamper with the Ether Gate, you need at least 400 points of Ether Knowledge. Vilan in his previous life wasn't that powerful..."

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second.

He took out a large handful of "Ether Powder" and sprinkled it evenly on the surface.

The gargoyle, which had been following them for a long time, finally found its chance to shine and charged forward, stepping on the stone.

Roger chuckled and activated the teleportation.

Very soon.

A signal of safety came from the slave contract.

Roger then personally took charge.

Half a day later.

A flash of light appeared behind the cabin, revealing a figure.

Roger lowered the Black Coffin.

The Quasi-Horned Demon emerged in an orderly fashion.

The Logistics Group began installing the Dragon-Catching Ballista and fishing nets.

An hour later.

On the plaza of the third lap.

Accompanied by the whooshing sound of crossbow bolts.

A vast expanse of fishing nets covered the land! Even the Emperor Eagle and thousands of Harpy were trapped inside.

Not far away.

A handsome young man used a "Tactical Slide Shovel" to enter the battlefield, throwing out "Novice Grenade" one after another!

Amidst the deafening roar of explosions.

Sky Nest swayed slightly.

However, the overall structure remains incredibly sturdy.

Roger's figure moved freely among the Harpy in the square.

It ruthlessly reaped the lives of the monsters.

The Quasi-Horned Demon also swarmed forward, each displaying their unique abilities.

The Harpy's screams gradually subsided.

Two hours later.

The first layer of the Sky Nest.

Only one winged creature remained.

"Bang!"

Roger slashed off the iron chains embedded in the Emperor Eagle's body with several consecutive blows.

The latter gently flapped its wings and made a series of gurgling sounds.

Not only Roger couldn't understand what he was saying, but even the devils who were fluent in multiple languages couldn't understand his gibberish.

Roger kept shaking his head.

The Emperor Eagle lowered its head somewhat dejectedly.

After a while.

"Extraordinary Perception: The Emperor Eagle requests to establish an ' Super-Sense Link,' please grant permission?"

"Emperor Eagle: Thank you so much, my friend!"

Starting today, the Emperor Eagle of the Winter Snow Mountain will become your close friends.

If needed.

Please feel free to call out to me and my companions.

Although it will take some time to fly over from my hometown, we will not refuse.

After I get home, I will try to maintain my Super-Sense Link with you.

Please always pay attention to messages from your close friends.

etc...

Can you hear me?! Why do I smell a message failure...?

Roger: Hello? Are you there? Are you there? Are you talking to me?

A moment later.

The Emperor Eagle collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected.

His eyes were filled with fatigue.

Five hours later, the Emperor Eagle was finally sent away.

The Emperor Eagle clan is a truly intelligent species, possessing the bloodline of the Celestial Eagle.

According to the system's assessment, they are not considered monsters, so they have the potential to become Roger's true brothers.

Put all that aside.

Roger and Larion got along well.

The "Super Senses Chat Room" is a bit of a challenge.

However, it is not significantly affected by distance.

This means Roger could harass the other party by sending messages in the middle of the night.

Playing single-player games for too long.

Having someone you can bother anytime feels pretty good.

Half a day later.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Roger prepared to temporarily evacuate Sky Nest.

The Harpy left behind more than 30,000 eggs.

That was enough for Roger to fill the progress bar.

at the same time.

He discovered the invisible staircase leading to the second level in a corner of the square.

His Extraordinary Perception told him.

The second level is inhabited by a group of terrifying monsters.

They are all level 54 or above, and many of them are formidable characters with elite templates.

Given Roger's team's current strength, the challenge would be extremely difficult.

He decided to be more fully prepared before exploring the second level.

But what actually prompted him to make this decision was another factor—

While cleaning up the battlefield, he discovered a group of human babies! The youngest of them was only 9 months old.

The oldest is no more than 2 years old.

It was cold at high altitude, but luckily there were hot springs nearby.

Roger found them and immediately put them in the Black Coffin.

But this is only a temporary measure.

These babies need a better environment.

One day later.

Clear Spring Sect Headquarters.

The cries of babies rose and fell.

"The teacher has quite a few illegitimate children!"

Qin held a baby in each of her arms and intermittently hummed an unknown lullaby.

Why must it be an illegitimate child?

Roger was so busy that he asked casually.

"Because the teacher said he had never married."

"Therefore, these children can only be illegitimate."

Roger asked in surprise, "Do druids also have this concept?"

Qin remained silent for a while:

"It's possible."

Roger didn't react for a moment.

He instructed the passing Quasi-Horned Demon, "Let them sleep on the big bed for the next couple of days."

Let's urge Wu Gu to work overtime and get the cradle and crib ready as soon as possible.

The main foods are goat milk and corn porridge...

Having said all that...

He then turned around and explained, "They are not my children."

Qin hesitated for a moment:

"So... does the teacher really want children?"

Roger: "Huh?"

"Otherwise, why would we bring in so many other people's children?"

Qin's expression was somewhat conflicted:

"Also, the teacher wouldn't have stolen it..."

Roger interrupted her, both amused and exasperated.

After thoroughly explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

The doubts that had been lingering on Qin Xiao's face finally dissipated.

"In short, these children will be the first disciples after the Clear Spring Sect's dojo reopens."

Roger then proceeded to explain his plans.

A disciple is not necessarily a student.

However, most disciples are selected from among the existing students.

They will be a vital force in defending the Clear Spring Sect.

"I see."

Qin suddenly realized. "Then I must take good care of them."

Roger nodded happily.

He went back to work for a while, but soon after, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his mind.

"Extraordinary Perception: Your disciple Qin is trying to feed the children..."

Roger was horrified.

He immediately covered his eyes and turned around to stop him, saying, "Stop!"

"What are you doing?"

Qin's voice, filled with doubt, came through:

"They were hungry."

"I remember seeing many women in Spring Day Valley treat their offspring this way!"

Roger felt dizzy. "No... listen to me, feeding her goat milk is fine."

"You don't have that ability yet!"

Qin seemed to be lost in thought.

Roger slowly released his grip and opened his eyes.

But then they saw a cute little moon bear holding two babies, pushing them against its chest, making the children giggle.

"Strangeness..."

"If the human form doesn't possess that ability, why is it still not working even after transforming?"

Qin muttered to herself.

Roger weakly raised his hand.

The next moment, a round thing appeared in front of him.

"A Qi, I remember you're a ' Pneumatic Construct ' whose gender is set as female, right?"

Roger pondered for a moment.

"Yes, yes!" A Qi said excitedly, "Back then, I was very popular with the male disciples!"

Roger breathed a sigh of relief:

"Could you please take some time to give Qin a crash course in some basic common sense that women need to know? It doesn't have to be too much, just the most basic stuff will do."

"No problem."

A Qi guaranteed:

"To be honest, I also think there's something wrong with the instrument."

"Forcing it like this definitely won't work."

"I'll go help her."

Roger:

"???"

Three days later.

In the Underground City of Wind Chasing Trail.

Having barely managed to resolve the baby problem, Roger finally had time to process the takeaways from his trip to the Sky Nest.

The rows of eggs had already been placed.

The Shattering Palm technique was unleashed one after another.

Not long after.

A pleasant notification appeared on the data panel.

"You have killed 1 Harpy, bringing your total number of Harpy killed to 34,159."

"Your projectiles' effective attack range has been slightly increased (cannot be increased further)."

Effective attack range of projectiles (base/current): 30 meters/3300 meters

"You have completed the tenth Sin Mark, and you have gained a new specialization: Qilin Arm"

"Qilin Arm (4th Ring Feat): When this feat is active, your dominant hand will gain a 400% bonus to all attributes."

"Note: When you overuse your Qilin Arm,' there is a small chance that you will lose control of your dominant hand, but this will not last more than 18 seconds."

"Ah, this..."

"Can my Qilin Arm finally flare up legitimately?"

Roger couldn't help but make a comment.

Everyone said it was too short, so let's combine the two chapters into one~ Tonight's chapter has been merged. Tomorrow, the chapter will return to its normal length.
