Queen's Holy Water
Thousand Serpent Island Temple.
Inside the Mist Aura, secret palace.
Cecilia walked across the warm water completely naked.
The maids on both sides were about to step forward.
She waved him away.
She held the Divine Art Badge in her hand, her facial expression slightly tense.
He was the High Priestess of the Sea Serpent Church.
Cecilia was already used to this position, second only to the emperor.
Even the two Subordinate God the deep sea and shallow waters dared not neglect her when they saw her.
But the emergence of ' Bard ' changed this situation.
To be honest.
She was a little unsure how to get along with Bard.
on the one hand.
The Queen did not specify the other party's responsibilities.
"The Queen's Right Hand" is more of a title and does not carry any real power.
This is good news for Cecilia.
Theoretically, she should be half a grade higher than him.
But on the other hand...
This guy's unfathomable strength and equally mysterious background forced even the Queen to lower her stance.
His relationship with the Sea Serpent Church was more like a pure collaboration—
It's not about cooperating with the church.
Instead, they are collaborating with the Queen herself!
This made her very upset.
She took every message from the other party very seriously.
He was afraid that if he didn't handle things properly, he would displease the Queen.
This feeling of trepidation and excitement was quite unfamiliar to her.
For example, right now.
The guy's immediate demand for such a large amount of supplies infuriated Cecilia, forcing her to cautiously give an ambiguous reply.
"He'll probably know better..."
She paced barefoot on the water, clutching the Divine Art Badge tightly in her hand, not daring to relax for a moment.
A moment later.
The Divine Art Badge trembled.
She exhaled, her consciousness sinking into the badge, only to perceive this reply:...
Bard (the Queen's Right Hand): No comment! To give or not to give? Hurry!
That moment.
A surge of anger welled up in her chest.
If it weren't for the title "The Queen's Right Hand" reminding her not to act impulsively, she would have loved to unleash a 9th Ring long-range divine spell first! "What does he think the Sea Serpent Church is?! Someone he can extort and blackmail at will?"
Cecilia's chest heaved violently.
However, she remained restrained and prepared to refuse Bard's excessive demands in a more tactful manner.
However, at this very moment...
A detached voice sounded in her ear:
"Say yes."
"Give him whatever he wants."
Cecilia was taken aback.
Immediately, her face showed piety, and she knelt down in mid-air:
"Yes..."
She hoped to hear more of the Queen's divine pronouncements.
Unfortunately, the Queen fell silent after saying those words.
Cecilia felt a surge of indescribable emotion.
She tried hard to control her emotions.
Try to use a tone similar to your usual voice to give the command:
"You have three minutes to prepare everything on this list for me."
The next second.
A large number of Divine Duty began to work busily in the temple Warehouse.
In the underground mine tunnels where the fog was gradually thickening.
The Divine Art Badge began to shimmer with multicolored light.
Accompanying these glories.
On the data panel.
A flood of information flashed by.
"You have obtained 99 Jackalmen Transformation Scroll"
"You have obtained 99 Queen's Holy Water (Stamina Replenishment Potion)"
"You have obtained the Illusory Soldiers Scroll (Strategic Item) *99"
"You have obtained Constitution Enhancement Pipe (Pipe/Extraordinary) *1"
Between the shifting rays of light.
Roger suddenly found himself with a huge pile of useful strategic supplies! "They really did give them to me..."
"As expected of the Queen."
"You have a broader perspective than the average person."
Roger chuckled and shook his head.
To be honest.
The moment the first item appeared.
He was very surprised.
Because his Sixth Sense had already detected Cecilia's displeasure.
He was just making a casual remark, waiting for Cecilia to bargain.
But in the blink of an eye, the other side delivered all the supplies.
Considering that the long-distance teleportation of the Divine Art Badge is also a considerable expense.
This must have been the Queen's doing.
The other party's meaning was also very clear—
I've given you everything you wanted.
Therefore, the investigation results that the Sea Serpent Queen wanted could not be ambiguous.
After all, the principle of "he who takes a bribe is obligated to do so" applies everywhere.
This time.
Even if Roger wanted to find an excuse to slack off, it wouldn't be that easy.
Fortunately, the Queen's request overlaps to some extent with the Campaign Mode he is currently playing.
Roger got a free supply of materials.
It was incredibly enjoyable.
With this batch of goods.
On-site handling becomes very simple.
Roger first tore open the "Jackalmen Language Comprehension Scroll," and then used a cheap knife to leave crooked Jackalmen language marks on the stone wall.
Immediately afterwards.
He used up that "Illusory Soldiers Scroll.
Not long after.
A large number of Jackalmen footprints were found in the nearby tunnels, and these footprints were very realistic.
Only those with exceptional skill in the fields of "tracking" or "traces" can discern it.
at last.
He opened a "Jackalmen Transformation Scroll".
A crisp "pop" sound.
After the pale blue smoke dissipated.
Roger transformed himself.
He transformed into a purebred Underground Jackal People with tawny fur!...
"Notice: Appearance transmogrification successful, duration 72 hours"
"Transformation" and "transformation" are different.
It's like putting on a disguised outfit without affecting your original attributes.
Generally speaking.
Transmogrification doesn't offer much in terms of disguise.
In the presence of High Perception person, illusion is roughly equivalent to the Emperor's New Clothes.
But Cecilia only gave them high-quality divine scrolls.
Therefore, the effect is two levels stronger than ordinary transmogrification.
"The Sea Serpent Church is truly a large and powerful organization..."
Roger sighed.
They were quickly cleaning up the scene.
Titan Technician Noto had very few valuables on him.
But it contains what Roger most desired.
That was a whole bag of "Turing Orb"!...
"Turing Orb (89): When crushed, it causes all nearby Sentinels to enter a repeated shutdown state."
With this whole bag of Turing Orb.
No more need for Cindy to deal with the Sentinels! The Destroyer in its downtime state is like a fish on a chopping board for Roger.
He dismantled all 233 metal lumps on site without much effort!
One hour later.
Roger threw all the spoils into the "Sky Dragon's Jaw Pouch" and then used "Sea Abyss Mud" to completely destroy Noto and cover his tracks.
After doing all this.
He then led Cindy down to the next floor.
At present.
The master and servant, one transformed into Jackalmen and the other into a kobold, rampaged through the underground mines teeming with Evil Ghost Sentry and gnoll troops.
If Roger encounters Evil Ghost Sentry, he will crush a Turing Orb.
Next came the familiar disassembly process.
But what if you encounter Jackalmen army?
He would use the "Sentry Transformation Scroll" to disguise himself as a sentinel, and then frantically slaughter these subterranean races with the Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Sword.
It is worth mentioning.
The Evil Ghost Sentry and Jackalmen mostly roam near the workers' Safe Zone.
Roger's actions significantly increased the workers' chances of survival.
that's all.
The two fought their way down without any obstacles.
During this period.
The mist in the underground mine tunnels appeared and disappeared intermittently.
The alarms at the bottom of the Deep Pit Mine also sounded intermittently.
Roger was so engrossed in the joy of swiping that he didn't bother to consider what was actually happening underneath.
It wasn't until three days later.
When he used the Turing Orb to take down another group of sentinels, he arrived at the 60th level of the underground mine.
He then realized that he had successfully reached the very bottom of the Deep Pit Mine!
During this period.
Roger has eliminated a total of 3,214 Evil Ghost Sentry, 6,652 Jackal People Minion, and 1,147 Jackal People Elite.
On the data panel.
His Forging Authority Rank successfully reached 0.27.
The "Barehanded Forging" ability has been greatly enhanced.
And in this process.
He also changed the weapon he used to dismantle the Evil Ghost Sentry from the Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Sword to the Red Moon.
That's why I made this decision.
It's because Roger discovered that the sharp, Red Moon was perfect for 'undressing' the motionless sentries! For example, right now.
Faced with more than a hundred iron lumps that stood motionless in place.
Roger wielded the Red Moon and unleashed a frenzied slash! His movements were as fluid as a skilled butcher dissecting an ox.
Not long after.
Another 169 Evil Ghost Sentry were reduced to parts and spirits.
at the same time.
A pale red message flashed before his eyes.
"Warning: Red Moon (Transcendent)'s durability has dropped to 3..."
This is accompanied by a decline in durability.
Roger could keenly sense that the once sharp and radiant Red Moon had wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant...
But it's alright.
His hands then began to rub the blade of the Red Moon repeatedly.
"Hint: You used ' Barehanded Forging '"
Over the course of a few days.
Roger's kneading technique was already quite skilled.
To prevent a recurrence of the predicament of insufficient physical strength.
He also took a sip of "the Queen's Holy Water" (click to view attributes).
A faint glow shone in Roger's hand.
The blade of the Red Moon visibly stiffened!...
"Barehanded Forging: Red Moon (Transcendent)'s durability restored to 9..."
This is the power of Barehanded Forging!
Although it hasn't reached the point of being a hand-crafted marvel yet.
But Roger can now repair the durability of most weapons with his bare hands!
No matter how weak the weapon is.
Under his wondrous hands.
They can all regain their vitality!
And it is believed that this will be accompanied by an increase in Forging Authority Rank.
This ability can be made even stronger!
besides.
The Jackalmen also gave Roger 6 points of Strength and 1 point of Agility.
In this way...
Roger's raw strength has reached 24 points! He's just one step away from "Strength Ascension".
This is a rather exaggerated number.
Even ascendants specializing in power are no better than this.
Roger was both amused and exasperated by this.
The Hidden Hero clearly increased Perception and Agility...
fortunately.
The power boost to sword immortals is also quite significant.
Roger could clearly feel that as his strength increased, the power of the Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Sword also grew.
"If it's really a matter of prioritizing power, then we should raise the priority of Sword Immortal above Qi Master among the extraordinary professions..."
Roger thought to himself as he sorted through his spoils.
After dealing with the lowest-ranking sentries and Jackalmen.
He led Cindy around and around in the mine tunnels.
Not long after.
He saw a glimmer of light at the end of an open mine tunnel! His Sixth Sense told him.
That's moonlight!
"That should be the bottom of the pit..."
Roger stood there and thought for a moment.
Only then did they take action.
A moment later.
Roger's figure appeared at the end of the mine tunnel.
What comes into view is an oval-shaped machine, and a dark mass above it.
A faint mist drifted in from the unknown.
Suddenly, it dawned on me.
Roger looked up.
He saw the Drovas launch tower and a bright, clear moon.
That moment.
On the data panel.
Information poured in like snowflakes.
Hint: You have discovered the ' Earth's Core Early Warning Aircraft '.
Hint: You have discovered a large number of ' Evil Ghost Raven '.
"Mist Authority Rank: With the bright moon in the sky and a thin mist rising, you can now summon the Mist Fairy."
"Prompt: Your servant Diana has occupied the free territory of ' Nightshade Town ' and swore an oath in your name, making you the lord of ' Nightshade Town '."
"Prompt: Your Demiplane evolution is complete. Enter now?"
"So much good news..."
Roger was immediately overjoyed.
He was just trying to find a corner to sort out his thoughts.
It was at this moment.
A cold feeling washed over Roger.
"Sixth Sense: You sensed the malice of 'North Wind'."
The next second.
Evil thoughts surged from the void like a tidal wave, completely engulfing Roger!
The "Nightmare Domain" spread out like ripples.
The tangible evil thoughts turned into sickles.
Roger, unable to move, was hacked into pieces of blood! In the darkness.
A low, cold laugh could be heard.
But very quickly.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
The boundary between the 60th and 59th levels of the underground mine.
Roger glanced silently at the data records.
"Hint: Your clone has encountered the ' Nightmare Dragon '."
"Nightmare Dragon (Divine Kingdom Practitioner /True Dragon/ Hero Template /Exotic Visitor/Ascended One)"
Does Cindy have a character card?
