A Practical Weapon

"It's Hero Template!"

Seeing this scene.

Roger was overjoyed.

You need to know.

The strength of the Hero Template far surpasses that of the Lord Template.

In the previous game, players used "Hero Template".

Compared to templates like Normal, Elite, and Lord.

Hero Template not only have more powerful attributes, but more importantly, they have greater potential for growth.

Templates below the Hero level all have a power ceiling.

Most people can only briefly touch their own ceiling.

Then began the long descent.

But let's start with the Hero Template.

The height of the ceiling was thus infinitely expanded.

In theory.

There is no upper limit to the strength of characters at the Hero level and above.

Given enough opportunity and effort.

You can become infinitely powerful!

therefore.

The Hero Template is a watershed moment in a series of templates, and also a form of certification.

Only by overcoming this hurdle can the indigenous people achieve limitless possibilities!

More than half of the heroes can be transformed into "epic" or even "mythical" templates.

Only someone like that could be considered a true character.

Only then will they be qualified to step onto the grand stage of the Nine Great Planets and leave behind their own legend.

"Insight: You sensed Diana's rebellious nature."

"Contract Master: The loyalty of the horned demons is beginning to decline."

The joy gradually faded.

Roger gave a soft snort.

Looking at Diana gaze gradually sharpened, but whose appearance remained extremely beautiful.

Roger stood up slowly.

He ripped off the human skin mask, revealing his true face.

The next second.

He rediscovered a long-lost skill.

"I see doubt in your eyes."

Let's talk.

"Ms. Diana, would you be willing to serve me?"

Roger's voice was as flat as ever.

But to Diana's ears, it sounded incredibly magnetic.

That moment.

Her heart pounded wildly! She swore.

Even on the most dangerous battlefields, she had never experienced that feeling!

That is...

The feeling of being moved.

At this moment, Roger's stats panel...

"Extraordinary Perception: You perceive ' Diana's' charm to be as high as 22 points."

"You've unlocked ' Heroic Demeanor '."

"Heroic Demeanor: Diana's favorability towards you +1"

+1.

+1.

+1.

Roger glanced at it.

have to.

The woman's favorability rating for herself increased to 80 points in one go.

at the same time.

Diana's gaze toward Roger gradually softened.

Looking at Roger's serious face as he asked the question.

She felt an overwhelming urge to pounce on him and kiss him passionately! Diana struggled to control her desire, and said hesitantly:

"Could you give me a little time?"

"I need to think about it."

As he spoke.

She was somewhat afraid to look Roger in the eye.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the other horned demons.

Diana kept tossing her long hair, and the little white horn on her forehead looked rather cute.

"Of course, let me introduce myself. My name is Roger."

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

As he spoke.

Roger extended his right hand.

Diana shakily reached out her hand, and the moment her palm touched Roger's, her body trembled involuntarily, and she almost collapsed.

The next second.

Roger gripped her hand tightly.

"Note: Master Qu Feng's Floating Cloud Palm Imprint has been activated and can be used at any time."

"Ah..."

Diana gasped.

His previously dazed eyes immediately cleared.

Roger released his grip.

He silently shut down his Heroic Demeanor.

On the data panel.

Diana's favorability rating ultimately settled at 90 points.

The Horned Witch Heroine stood there, her soul lost.

She was panting heavily, her body drenched in sweat.

After a while.

She suddenly knelt on one knee and said with heartfelt admiration, "It is my honor to serve a strong person like you."

From now on.

"Your will is the direction of my blade!"

The other horned demons looked at each other in bewilderment.

Under Diana's sharp gaze.

They all knelt down.

"Your will is the direction of my blade!"

"You now have a new servant: Diana, the Daughter of the New Moon (Hero/Transcendent)"

"Diana: A collateral descendant of the Crescent Clan of the Third Purgatory, proficient in melee combat and war magic, holding dual professions of ' Skull Collector ' and 'Fire Chaser'..."

"You have acquired a new servant: Gongul the Colossus (Rare Elite/Transcendent)"

"Gongul: A retainer of the Crescent Clan in the Third Purgatory, skilled in parrying, providing cover, and guarding checkpoints; class 'Rotten Mountain'."

"You have acquired new servants: 12 common horned demons and 6 elite horned demons."

Looking at those horned demons, each one incredibly large and muscular.

Roger was secretly delighted.

I wish I could play a song to announce good luck to the world.

Especially Diana and Gongul.

Their addition directly elevated Roger's team to a whole new level.

More importantly.

Diana possessed exceptional command and coordination skills, saving Roger a great deal of effort.

At present.

Roger didn't hide anything.

They took out those "Naval Combat Mastery Scroll" and slapped them on.

These scrolls are very expensive.

Single use only.

Benefits for a lifetime.

However, only the contractor's servants can enjoy its effects.

A short while later.

All the horned demons then mastered the secrets of naval warfare.

As for the "Wild Combat Mastery Scroll".

Roger thought it best to wait until the time came for a field battle.

After dealing with these new underlings.

Roger didn't forget his old friends either.

The next moment.

He took out the extremely precious "Servant Re-Summoning Scroll".

Roger spread the scroll out on the ground.

Then all the stubborn stones were placed on top.

Then he sprinkled a large handful of Ether Powder and a small drop of the heart's blood of a higher demon.

A short while later.

A faint glow appeared on the scroll.

"Contractor: Should we resummon all lost servants?"

Roger resolutely chose to confirm! Whoosh! One after another, colorful Planet Teleportation Gate appeared on the open ground.

Immediately afterwards.

Familiar figures reappeared! "Master!"

I've missed you so much!

The massive body of the Azure Wolf Emperor leaped out of the Teleportation Gate, its tongue lolling as it tried to lick Roger's face.

However, he had only run halfway.

He was then coldly pressed down by a hand.

Diana said coldly:

"As a servant, one must not disturb one's master without being summoned."

Sake roared angrily:

"Woman, you've successfully ignited my anger!"

"Heh, a little devil like you dares to challenge me?"

"Come, let's duel!"

"Whoever wins will become the master's most favored person."

Diana wasn't intimidated.

The man and the wolf Kiting each other to the side.

Roger didn't bother with it.

He simply stared quietly at the Teleportation Gate, silently counting the heads.

Five minutes later.

All the Teleportation Gate disappeared.

20 Quasi-Horned Demon, 17 gray wolves, Grey Wolf Emperor Sack, Backpack Cleaner Cindy, and Charming Soul Kora.

All the contracted servants who used the Ancient Stubborn Stone as a vessel were summoned by Roger from Mystra to Quinan! Looking at those familiar faces.

Roger was also somewhat moved.

"Is everyone here?"

"It's good that everything is here..."

Tell me about the current situation of the Clear Spring Sect.

Mystra.

Primitive Forest.

A corner of the Extinguish Wasteland.

A gargoyle silently guards a cold, World-Passing Amber.

It looks like a real stone statue.

It is carrying out the instructions its owner left it—

The woman guarding the amber.

It didn't know how much time had passed.

I don't Dao Lord will come back.

It only knows that.

One must complete the master's task.

Days passed by one by one.

The gargoyle's mind remained clear and resolute.

In this desolate Demiplane.

It is not that it has nothing to do.

Aside from most of the 'standing guard time'.

Occasionally, it will also wander to the bottom of the deep pit.

Although only some fragments of amber could be found.

But for a gargoyle with a severe collecting obsession...

This is the greatest source of joy in a dull life.

It had a premonition.

The owner may not be back for a long time.

This premonition caused the gargoyle to experience a rare emotion called 'unease'.

Suddenly one day...

It inexplicably pulled a dagger out of its belly.

The next moment.

He gently cut open the World-Passing Amber with a dagger.

The beautiful woman slowly slid out of the amber.

A long time passed.

Vera barely managed to open her sleepy eyes.

"Who I am?"

Where am I?

Where am I going?

Her mind went blank.

It was at this moment.

A voice welled up in her heart. "You have come to find the Holy Sword."

Holy Sword?

Yes.

Vera seemed to remember something, but those memories were veiled by a thick veil.

All she remembered was encountering an extremely evil person.

The loss of memory must have been caused by that person.

"Let's get out of here first."

Vera calmly stood up, looked at the gargoyle beside her, and asked curiously, "Did you save me?"

The gargoyle pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Do you have an owner?

Vera asked.

The gargoyle shook its head decisively.

Vera waved to it:

"Then you can come with me from now on."

The gargoyle obediently retracted its form and landed on her shoulder.

At present.

Together, the two walked out of the Extinguish Wasteland and out of the Primitive Forest.

The moment we stepped out of the forest.

Vera was stunned by the sight before her eyes—

A fairy mountain suspended in the Above the Sky.

A waterfall that looks like a fairyland.

A giant eagle soaring with outstretched wings.

Vast expanses of paddy fields and rows of beautifully designed farms.

The mountain was shrouded in mist.

People come and go at the foot of the mountain.

This was a sight she had never seen before.

More importantly.

She could sense that the holy sword she was looking for was on that floating mountain!

"We need to find a way to get up the mountain."

Her thinking was somewhat sluggish.

After losing most of his memories.

She has to think for a long time before she can even barely cast the most basic spells.

The gargoyle quietly kept her company.

They walked around the Clear Spring River for a very long time.

Until they arrived at a very lively place.

Vera had just moved closer when a girl with pigtails enthusiastically grabbed her hand. "Are you here to register for the discipleship program too?"

"Just come here and fill out the form."

Vera filled out all the forms in a daze.

In the end.

The girl with pigtails rested her chin on her hand and asked:

Have you ever kept small animals?

Vera hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

In her memory.

She must have owned some pets.

"That's great! He's an experienced outer disciple!"

The girl quickly wrote a few words on her form.

Then hand it back to her:

"You have experience in animal husbandry."

"Let's go straight to Farm 7!"

Keep it up!

Half a day later.

Vera stood there dumbfounded among the circles of piglets.

I felt that something must have gone wrong.

"I see..."

"What a huge misunderstanding!"

After listening to Wu Gu's detailed explanation.

Roger sighed and remained silent.

"It's alright, as long as the Clear Spring Sect develops steadily."

"Now that everything is ready..."

"Let's go!"

at this time.

Diana rode over on her tangled Azure Wolf Emperor and respectfully asked, "Master."

"Everything is ready."

"Please give the order."

Sake couldn't help but interject:

"I am my master's mount, how can you ride me like this?"

Diana slapped it on the head. "Shut up!"

"If Master needs it."

"I can be a better mount than you."

"As for you."

"It can only be considered a mount."

Upon hearing this, Sake was devastated.

They could only turn to Roger for help.

Roger knew that Diana was no ordinary servant, and it was perfectly normal for her to have some personality traits.

At present.

He simply said, "Get down."

Diana immediately and obediently got off Sake.

"Let's go."

"There's still a lot of work waiting for us."

Roger leaped onto the wolf.

Under Diana's somewhat disappointed gaze.

The group left the deserted island in a flurry of activity.

With the support of the "Earl".

Roger and his group left Sea Beast Bay.

They found a secluded, Uninhabited Island near the Thousand Serpent Islands to use as their base.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Quasi-Horned Demon day and night.

Just one week later.

The mountain on the Uninhabited Island was transformed into a vast Underground City! All the Quasi-Horned Demon ' Tinder Pouch contained a large amount of materials and resources.

Under Roger's command.

One by one, the functional facilities were built.

In the heart of the mountain.

The familiar sounds of bellows and shouts rose and fell.

The newly arrived horned demons quickly integrated into the production process.

Not long after.

One by one, the tools needed for the war were produced.

And during this period.

Roger wasn't idle either.

He first secretly visited several surrounding islands and used the Sea Serpent Church's channels to collect a lot of war resources—mainly equipment and special items needed for naval warfare.

Secondly.

He found a place with a high concentration of water element and activated his special ability, "Elemental Covenant".

Utilize the covenant.

He successfully forged a century-old alliance with an elder named Sumi.

It is worth mentioning.

The elder of the Water Source was named "Madam Shelley".

Not only was Madam Shelley charming and voluptuous, but she was also a formidable weapon in battle—

She commands a 6,000-strong Water Element Legion.

Every battle.

She will provide Roger with at least 60 Water Elemental Warrior.

If Roger can satisfy her.

She can give more.

While the Water Elemental Warrior are weak in combat, they are a different story at sea.

Roger still valued Madam Shelley after all.

In order to secure more spots for the Water Elemental Warrior.

He couldn't help but unleash his "Heroic Demeanor" once again.

final.

This number has been increased to 120.

Any more words.

This is not something that can be solved by simply chatting.

Roger was content.

120 Water Elemental Warrior that can be summoned at any time are already a formidable fighting force.

This move was still incredibly profitable.

that's all.

The days of intense combat readiness passed by one by one.

Two weeks later.

An urgent message finally arrived from Roger's Divine Art Badge—

That was a message that only the devout could receive!

The information is very simple.

Reliable intelligence indicates that the Sea Wolf Army is preparing to disguise themselves as pirates and target one of the fleets of "Lady Shallow Water".

Lady Shallow Water is the ' Subordinate God ' of the Sea Serpent Queen.

This fleet is very important to her.

She appealed to the Sea Serpent Church for help.

The Sea Serpent Church immediately stated its position.

He ordered all believers in the Northwest Sea Area to do everything possible to assist the fleet of "Lady Shallow Water"!

"It's finally starting."

"The prelude to the Raging Sea Blood Vortex..."

On the Earl.

Roger thought to himself.

On the data panel.

"Signs of a medium-sized war have been detected."

"Gods War Mission Chapter 1 (Special Campaign Mode) is now available!"

Current faction: Lady Shallow Water (cannot be selected)

"Hint: All units belonging to 'General of the Sea' Ochester will become your enemies in this campaign. Killing these enemies will not only grant you double the rewards, but also a large number of Honor Points."

"Tip: You can now use Honor Points to exchange for items in the Intermediate Campaign Shop (New items loaded)"

"So fast this time?"

Roger opened the shop panel with some surprise.

He stopped breathing instantly.

"The Nascent Demiplane (New Item)"

"Effect: You will gain a Demiplane world Anchor Point to you."

Price: 500,000 Honor Points
