From the perspective of attributes alone.

The "Cow Staff" is absolutely a godsend for tormenting enemies—

The mere thought of the process by which one's will is gradually assimilated by animal instincts is enough to send chills down one's spine.

For some of the strongest individuals...

This could be a humiliation more terrifying than death.

If possible.

Roger really wanted to hit Vilan like that.

Let's see what happens.

However, he managed to suppress this unreliable thought in time.

We really need to deal with Vilan.

Roger would definitely choose a more appropriate method.

What if that guy's real level is higher than 120? What if he has the same abnormal attributes as me?

just in case...

all in all.

Roger had already planned out Vilan's future in his heart—

As long as he succeeds and becomes immortal.

We'll go and send Vilan on his way! And before that...

Roger would try to avoid direct contact with the other party.

In his mind.

This is the best way to overcome inner demons! Nothing reassures Roger more than overwhelming power.

Besides "Ultimate Arcane Missile" and "Cow Polymorph", this Ascension Staff also has six other spells fixed, but they are all below the 9th Ring.

These spells are all quite practical.

However, even extraordinary spells were no longer enough to attract Roger's attention.

He was more interested in the two feats that came with the staff!...

"Spell Delay (Metamagic Feats): You can control the ' Spell Delay ' of three spells each day. The spell's duration can be freely adjusted, with a maximum delay of 24 hours."

"Empower Spell (Metamagic Fetish): Your spell effects (power, area of effect, casting speed, etc.) are increased by 50%"

These two super magic feats are practically the best configuration for a mage! Even Roger, a 'semi-magic illiterate,' couldn't resist the urge to try his hand at spells.

It's a pity.

The Cow Staff has extremely high requirements for its holder.

Requirements: Ascended/ Elite Mage

Roger cannot meet either of these requirements for the time being—and even from a long-term perspective, he cannot meet them.

"We can only wait until Yu Feng is born..."

"Actually, it won't take long."

"Only 30 years..."

Roger consoled himself with this thought.

That's how it is.

However, his enthusiasm for organizing the collection noticeably waned afterward.

In fact.

The quality of the staffs in Augustus's collection was indeed uneven.

This guy is just treating the staff like a collectible.

Whether it's good or bad, collect it all at once.

This created a lot of trouble for Roger's organization work.

It took him more than an hour to sort through those 100-plus oddly shaped staffs.

In addition to a one-meter-long, arm-thick "Spiked Club Staff (general type)", there is also

Roger was most interested in a set of freshwater-themed staffs!

"Freshwater Staff (Multi-person Staff Set)"

"Torrent Staff: You have gained the power to control torrents (freshwater slot 0.1)"

Enchantment: As Strong as an Ox

"Strong as an Ox: Increases the target's Constitution and Strength by 2 points each, and significantly enhances the target's Endurance."

"Clear Spring Staff: You can draw elements from mountain springs (freshwater level 0.1)"

"Enchantment: Greater Healing"

"Powerful Healing: Restores 80% of the target's health over 30 seconds."

"Lake Staff: You are the fairy of the lake (freshwater level 0.1)"

"River Staff: You can change the direction of rivers (freshwater level 0.1)"

"Snow Mountain Staff: Ice sculptures are your guardians, snow-capped peaks are your territory (freshwater level 0.1)"

In summary.

This was the first time Roger had ever acquired a staff that could be used by multiple people.

The attributes of the "Freshwater Staff" are not particularly outstanding when taken out of context.

Even among extraordinary staffs, it can only be considered mediocre.

But the area of expertise he specializes in is quite interesting.

"Fresh water has absolutely nothing to do with the Queen's domain."

"The Queen should be salty..."

Thinking this way.

Roger examined the detailed instructions with great interest.

A hint from the Qi Divination Technique.

When these five Freshwater Staff are put together, their freshwater capacity can be increased to 0.5.

As long as the holders of the staff work together.

Then you will possess the 'power of water' and unleash the power of the Ascension-grade!

This is a force to be reckoned with.

Moreover, the power of water provides powerful restorative abilities.

This is the power that Roger longed for.

The only thing that makes one feel a little uncomfortable is...

The Freshwater Staff requires its holder to be a female mage.

Roger felt offended on Cindy's behalf.

final.

He selected five from the eight Dragon Priestess.

One was given to each person.

The selection and arrangement are based on descending order of size.

Um.

Age.

"Take it back and adapt to it well. Remember to work together."

"I'll be getting checked out in a while."

Roger commanded sternly.

"Yes!"

The priestess beamed with joy upon receiving the staff.

Those who don't have it can only silently bow their heads and endure.

Roger waved his hand, dismissing the women.

Only then did they begin to take stock of the spoils other than the staff.

In Augustus's jaw pouch.

The third category, following gold, silver, and staves, consists of a variety of dazzlingly colored ornaments.

Rings were the most common item among them.

Roger made a selection.

I found three rings that I really liked!

All three rings are Transcendent Item.

However, all of its attributes are excellent.

First is a gold ring engraved with a dragon claw pattern.

"Dragon Heart (Jewelry/Extraordinary)"

Rating: SSS

Effect 1: Increases the wearer's health by 100%.

Effect 2: Upon entering a state of death, the wearer will automatically lose 1 death level.

Effect 3: Increases local Defense Value of the heart by 100%.

Three effects.

Every single one is helpful.

Roger naturally had no reason not to wear it.

Secondly, there is a silver ring.

The ring has a rather ancient design, with a stone pillar carved on it. Clouds and mist swirl around the pillar, and a long, thin creature can be vaguely seen in the eyes of others!

This might be a snake.

But within the field of vision of the Qi Divination Technique.

This is a real dragon! Just not a dragon in the conventional sense of this universe.

Rather, it is the "coiled dragon," which is closely related to our Ancient Ancestors!...

"Panlong Ring (Jewelry/Extraordinary)"

Rating: SS

Effect 1: Your ki regeneration rate is increased by 100%.

Effect 2: You will receive 1 drop of essence from this ring each month.

"Effect 3: This ring contains the essence of a coiled dragon. You can temporarily break the seal and command the Coiled Dragon Essence to work or fight for you."

Note: This is one of the tokens of ' Panlong Island '.

Recovering energy.

Concentrate.

call.

The effects of the Panlong Ring itself are excellent enough.

What's more, this thing seems to have hidden clues.

"Perhaps Panlong Island, Zhenwu Island, Lost Island, Xianpeng Island are all Ancient People Ruins of the same level..."

Roger is very interested in the things of Ancient Ancestors.

This ring, of course, should also be worn.

The last ring itself wasn't particularly effective.

Its advantage lies in its incredible functionality.

It also has a very domineering name—

The Lord of the Rings.

"The Lord of the Rings (Accessory/Extraordinary)"

Rating: SS+

"Enchantment 1: Charm Goblin"

"Charm Goblins: You can charm 20 or more goblins at the same time."

Once a day

Enchantment 2: Hat Trick

Hat Trick: You can consecutively obtain three of the following items, but not limited to:

cup.

Felt hat.

baguette.

Glass beads.

Soap..."

Once a day

"Effect: This accessory has 4 slots. Only rings can be equipped in each slot. Rings in the slots are considered to be equipped and will take effect."

In Roger's view

These two enchantments are practically useless.

But the effect was absolutely incredible!

There are actually restrictions on wearing magic rings.

Only the index, middle, and ring fingers can perfectly showcase the decorative effect of a ring.

Rings can be worn on the thumb and Little Finger.

However, it may work intermittently.

Therefore, a person can theoretically wear a maximum of 6 magic rings.

But things changed after The Lord of the Rings came along.

After Roger put on the ring, he casually stuffed two Asgard Ring into it, and he could also wear the Panlong Ring and the Dragon Heart.

That means you get three extra functional fingers.

"If only we had the blueprints for ' The Lord of the Rings '."

"That way I can wear a maximum of 24 magic rings at the same time..."

"Hmm, this number isn't too exaggerated."

Roger did a quick calculation.

Given his current collection progress, achieving the target shouldn't be difficult.

We simply can't gather them all.

Slaying a few more dragons should solve the problem!

After counting the rings.

There wasn't much left.

Roger glanced through them quickly, and the following three items stood out:

"Dragon Slaying Blade (Two-Handed Broadblade/Extraordinary)"

Rating: SS+

"Attributes: Sharpness 11, Sturdiness 11, Weight 11, Balance 11, Durability 11"

"Effect (Unique): Increases damage against True Dragons by 999%"

"Dragon God Horn (Special Item/Upgrade)"

"Effect: After playing, you will recruit the 100 nearest dragonborn or true dragons to serve you for 720 hours."

"Damir's Manhole Cover (Celestial Item/ Demigod Artifact)"

Description: Place this object against one end of any building or natural obstacle.

Then, he forcefully struck the back of the manhole cover while chanting the 'Sewer Curse'.

A smooth, unobstructed tunnel will appear in front of you.

You can reach the other side in seconds through a smooth tunnel.

"Note: This is the masterpiece of the God of Sewers, and a secret weapon for lovers praised by many Goddess."

"Such a powerful thing is used for having affairs..."

"What kind of existence is the Celestial Realm?"

Roger couldn't help but feel puzzled.

In his view.

The description of this manhole cover is truly astonishing—

If it could pass through all obstacles without hindrance, it would be a true divine artifact! The most terrifying thing is that there is no limit to the number of times it can be used!

He tried it out in the Xia Yin Realm.

I found it to be really useful.

He opened a door on this side of a mountain with a manhole cover and slid in with a whoosh!

It only took two or three seconds to come out.

"I wonder if the planet itself counts as an obstacle?"

Roger couldn't suppress this thought.

I grabbed the manhole cover and ran outside to test it out.

It's a pity.

Quinan Star itself does not appear to be within the scope of obstacle detection.

Roger's idea of crossing Qurinan was thus abandoned.

Although it is impossible to completely traverse the planet.

But it made it much easier for Roger to travel between the surface and the Jade Phoenix Nest.

A long hole was dug down.

You could slide right to the Earth's core! That feeling.

It feels so good!

Roger became more and more enamored with it as he played with it.

certainly.

"Damir's Manhole Cover" also has its drawbacks.

First of all, it is very physically and mentally taxing.

Roger was almost completely exhausted after opening a long tunnel.

Its rate of stamina consumption is roughly on par with "Barehanded Forging".

also.

He also discovered that only one smooth tunnel can be maintained at a time when the manhole cover is cut out.

Once the second option is revealed.

The previous tunnel will close automatically.

despite this.

This thing is also a top-notch product that combines the functions of escaping, ambushing, and playing.

With it.

Roger can then try exploring more hidden places! "No wonder it's hailed as a tool for infidelity."

"It really is true that you can go wherever you want..."

"I wonder what would happen if we encountered other barriers. As it stands, we can't break through the Jade Phoenix Nest's Mountain Protection Array..."

Return to the Xia Yin Realm.

Roger carefully placed the manhole cover into his frequently used items list.

He had a premonition.

This thing might become one of the tools he uses frequently in the future.

Besides manhole covers.

The Dragon Slaying Blade and the Dragon God Horn are also highly functional items.

Roger naturally accepted it with a smile.

The remaining items were equally fine.

Items like "Greater Devil Heart," "Abyss Gate," "Pterodactyl Cloak," and "Sealed Card: Mushroom World" would likely cause a frenzy among Adventurers if they were available elsewhere.

But compared to the treasures Roger had.

She certainly lacks some beauty.

After sorting and organizing these items...

All that remained before Roger was a lush green expanse! Those were dragon eggs! And a patch of plants resembling watermelon vines.

Hint: You have found 167 Mikado Green Dragon.

"You have acquired Mikado's Evil Seed (Aberrant Matter)."

"Is this the root cause of the green dragon's transformation into a monster?"

Roger looked at the watermelon vines with a serious expression.

The Qi Divination Technique revealed this.

The Magic Abundance of "Mikado's Evil Seed" has exceeded 50 points! Its entire body exudes a nauseating aura of distorted ether.

Roger guessed.

Augustus used these Aberrant Matter and ordinary green dragon eggs to cultivate so many Mikado Green Dragon.

You need to know.

With the reproductive capacity of a true dragon.

Even if they occupy such a large territory as the Green Dragon Mountain Range, it is unlikely that they could develop a colony of hundreds of animals.

Roger noticed that Mikado Green Dragon was a monster when he was fighting the Green Dragon.

There must be something hidden behind this.

Now it seems...

These watermelon vines are probably involved.

"These vile species should have the ability to promote the reproduction of purebred green dragons."

"What's in the jaw pouch is probably just the tip of the iceberg."

"Augustus's stronghold probably has even more locations!"

Thinking about this...

Roger's desire to travel to the Green Dragon Mountain Range grew even stronger.

After Augustus's fall, the Green Dragon Mountain Range were leaderless, and who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

Whatever the reason.

He should go! To prevent the Aberrant Matter from contaminating the Xia Yin Realm.

Roger retrieved the evil seeds and dragon eggs into Augustus's jaw pouch, and then moved it out of the Xia Yin Realm.

That concludes the discussion.

The cleanup work following the incident involving Ancient Twin Dragons was half completed.

Although the process was very difficult.

But when I think about all the great things I've gained...

Roger remains highly motivated.

The next second.

He casually opened the red leaf's jaw pouch.

Somewhat unexpectedly for Roger.

The contents of the red leaf's jaw pouch were surprisingly few!

But very quickly.

Roger was relieved.

"Hongye was chased so badly by Kuinan that she was not much worse off than Big Serpent Bro, so it's understandable that she wasn't very wealthy."

That's what he thought.

Fortunately, although the quantity of items was limited, the quality was quite good.

On the data panel.

"Red Leaf's Jaws: You have acquired a complete starship (UFO)."

"You have acquired a biomorphic tank (Mother's Nest template/upgrade)"

"You have obtained a set of Dragon Armor (half-finished)"

"You have acquired the daggers: Thunderclap and Frostfall."

"You have obtained the Hong Ye's Library"

Aside from the scattered treasures and ores.

These five points are all of Roger's gains.

He never expected to find a perfectly intact starship here—even if it was just a UFO-class vessel, at least it was operational! With a starship, he was all set.

He then gained the most basic ability for interstellar travel!

Moreover, although the UFO is small, it has all the necessary internal organs.

This starship can carry around 50 people, enough for Roger to lead his crew to planets in higher orbits.

And that Dragon Armor was equally astonishing.

Roger took a look.

It was a full-coverage battle suit over a hundred meters long—what was special was that this suit was made by Hongye for her Ancient Dragon form!

Despite its enormous size, it is lighter than a starship.

I wonder how much rare metals Hongye used to create this thing.

Its appearance is very cool and amazing.

Unfortunately, it was only a half-finished product, and Hongye herself didn't even have time to put it on before it got cold.

Roger plans to keep it as a memento.

If rare metals become scarce in the future, they can be smelted and used.

also.

That bio-tank was also made by the Cowas People.

Only Ascension-grade firearms specialists or those with a Mother Nest license can pilot it.

See here.

Roger strongly suspects that the starships and tanks were stolen from Turing by Red Leaf while she was making a fire underground!

"This guy doesn't even know how to freeload a little more."

"They gave us too little..."

Roger sighed softly.

He flipped through several books in the library and discovered that the language on them was not Dragon Language, but a script that Roger did not recognize at all.

The divination results are shown.

These books come from the "Yggdrasil" of the Third Star Track.

That is, the planet from which the Asgard originated.

That concludes the discussion.

Roger could only put the books away.

Then he turned his gaze to the pair of daggers.

One of them is serpentine.

It was the very weapon that the assassin from Red Leaf used to stab Brandon!

The other one is arc-shaped.

Both daggers were silver.

Its sharpened edges exude a fearsome aura.

"Thunderclap/Frostfall (Dagger/Immortal)"

Rating:?

Status: Temporary Downgrade -1

"Basic: Sharpness 20, Penetration 20, Solidity 14, Balance 16"

"Special Effect 1: Guaranteed Hit Correction"

"Guaranteed Hit Correction: Once Thunderclap/Frostfall completes an attack, it is considered a hit within a 1-meter margin of error."

"Special Effect 2: Vital Point Correction"

"Critical Hit Correction: After a successful Thunderclap/Frostfall attack, normal body parts are treated as critical hit damage; critical hit parts are treated as instant-kill damage."

"Special Effect 3: Puncture Correction"

"Piercing Correction: Thunderclap/Frostfall's effective damage will now have additional piercing effects (Death Piercing/ Defense Piercing)."

"Special Effect 4: Grid Correction"

"Positioning Modifier: Effective damage from Thunderclap/Frostfall will cause a special effect of 'Position Shattering/Position Disabling'."

"Requirement: Upgrade/ Elite Assassin"

See here.

Roger fell into deep thought, "Is it too late to become an assassin now?"

It has to be said.

These daggers are ridiculously over-the-top! Let's ignore the simple and straightforward effects of positional and piercing damage reduction.

"Guaranteed hit correction" means that even if you miss—or even if you hit the air 1 meter away from the enemy—you can still make a hole in the enemy!

"Vital point correction" means that once the right spot is hit.

You'll be doubly surprised!

This was the most powerful weapon Roger had ever seen besides Griffith's.

"Let's be reasonable."

"The Traceless Wanderer should also be a variant of the Elite Assassin."

"The list of weapons exclusive to the Hidden Hero also includes daggers..."

Roger looked it up.

Yes, there really is.

It is called "Golden Snake Dagger".

It also comes with three Secret Techniques!

Originally, with the rapid improvement of his strength, the exclusive weapon of the Hidden Hero was no longer up to par, and he had no intention of keeping it.

But now there's the "Magpie's Nest Ticket".

Roger felt that creating various exclusive weapons for the Hidden Hero was a wise move.

After all, using a unique weapon with Magpie's Nest Ticket is equivalent to ignoring the original weapon's usage requirements.

This effect is still incredibly amazing.

This thought came to mind.

He quickly put away the pair of daggers.

The inventory work, which had lasted for most of the day, was finally over.

The day after the end of the Ancient Twin Dragons.

The three southern kingdoms of the Holy Alliance unanimously declared their recognition of the sovereignty of the Country of Chaos.

And it recognized the status of King Bard.

With the help of the Sea Serpent Church.

The rise of this land is already unstoppable.

Roger wasn't really interested in being king.

But having a country as his logistical backbone is something he would certainly be very happy to have.

As soon as the fighting here ends.

Roger then led a group of men to the Green Dragon Mountain Range.

Going there full of fun only to return disappointed.

When Roger arrived.

Augustus's wife had already fled with her men.

Apart from a few scattered nests of dragon eggs.

Not even a single gold coin was left for him! Unwilling to give up, he launched the Ultimate Hunter search.

But in the Central Mountain Range south of the "Fractured Abyss," Roger didn't find a single dragon.

Even the Sea Serpent Queen didn't know where the group of green dragons had escaped to.

Roger persisted in his search for over a week.

For now, we can only give up.

And in the days that followed.

The situation in the southern part of the West Continent can be described as turbulent.

The Queen has revealed her immortal status.

More and more Divine Duty from the Sea Serpent Church are beginning to go ashore to preach.

Other forces in the South could only turn a blind eye to this.

that's all.

The number of followers of the Sea Serpent Queen began to grow at a visible rate.

Among them, the newly established Country of Chaos is the most chaotic.

Although Roger did not adopt the Sea Serpent Church as the state religion when formulating national policies, he provided the Sea Serpent Church with ample benefits and protections.

It's not surprising that priests prefer to preach here.

In fact.

If Cecilia hadn't frequently been seen inside and outside the palace that Diana had recently commissioned to be built.

The number of Divine Duty coming to the Country of Chaos to get a share of the spoils will probably double! In an instant...

The entire southern part of the continent was immersed in a frenzied atmosphere—

Roger's feat of killing the Ancient Twin Dragons is truly awe-inspiring.

The prestige of the relevant forces has been elevated to an unprecedented level.

It was him, on the contrary.

He has not been seen in public since that spectacular fall outside Hill Port.

This disappointed many people.

This also relieved some people.

But Roger didn't care what others thought.

He was simply focused on what he needed to do.

Three months later.

The underground of Drovas.

With the arrival of the last piece of ore.

The dirty figure vigorously wiped its nose.

The excavation work for today has finally come to an end.

On the data panel.

"Barehanded Digging: You have obtained 1 piece of fine iron ore"

"Drilling through 20 veins in a row, your milestone - the digging maniac has set a new record."

"Divine Art Badge (Cecilia): You have received an urgent letter from ' Diana '"

"What's the rush?"

Roger clicked on the letter with some doubt.

Inside was an invitation letter that someone else had written to "King Bard" (King Bad).

The invitation was written in a very polite tone.

In the letter, the other party invited Bard to come to the free city-state of "Galaxy City" in the northern part of the West Continent to meet and discuss the important matter of "Quinan's World-Ending Sign"!

However, the signature made Roger's eyelids twitch.

"Vilan, Founder of the Quinan Salvation Society /Guardian of the North/ Archmage of Lubei County"
