Upper Levels of Sky Nest

"Hint: You have entered Biggle's Hut and received the blessing of the Advanced Mage."

"Bigelli's Blessing: Strength +1, Constitution +1; Parry +20, Evasion +20; Concentration +20%, Reflexes +20%"

Duration: 360 days

"This... this is the blessing of Advanced Mage?"

"Wow, that's powerful!"

At the enthusiastic invitation of the Three Meal Brothers.

Roger gladly entered the room.

As soon as he walked in, he was presented with this big gift.

This caused Roger's favorability towards "Biggle" to skyrocket.

This was the first time he had ever felt a good impression of a monk!

"Please sit down, please sit down."

In the reception room.

The Three Meal Brothers, appeared polite and enthusiastic.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries...

Roger sat down on a large, soft sofa.

He carefully surveyed the situation in his field of vision.

The furnishings inside the cottage are quite classic and luxurious.

Although the number of pieces of furniture is not large.

But everything looks exquisite and elegant.

It's obvious.

Mr. Biggle is a man of great taste.

Roger was still pondering this.

The Three Meal Brothers, had already started discussing it amongst themselves:

"Thanks to you for taking down that Ghost Dragon!"

"We can finally escape this awful place!"

"However, before that, we still need to explain some things to you."

"By the way, would you like something to drink? Tea or coffee?"

In the end.

The fork asked politely.

Roger waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't necessary.

The fork asked somewhat reluctantly:

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

"Our tea leaves and coffee beans here are all high-quality goods that have been preserved for over a thousand years!"

Roger fell silent.

The porcelain plate next to him smacked his fork in annoyance. "Stop showing off your lame jokes."

If you ask me...

"The little bit of knowledge you have is indeed quite outdated..."

The knife, somewhat embarrassed, apologized to Roger:

"I'm so sorry."

"We three brothers have been trapped here for too long, so sometimes we're not quite right... Ah, don't worry, most of the time we're normal people."

After saying that.

Suddenly, all three of them emphasized in unison:

"We are all normal people!"

Roger hesitated and said, "But..."

"You are clearly not human."

The three brothers fell silent.

After a while.

The knife let out a soft sigh.

He said seriously:

"Although we don't look like humans now, we were all once human."

"This is exactly part of what we need to explain to you..."

"On another note..."

"You should know the origin of that ' Poison Dragon Egg ' in your hand by now, right?"

Roger nodded slightly.

The prompt "Reincarnation Technique" is right here.

If he can't guess that this is the reincarnation of A'Bao, then his brain really needs to be sent to the factory for repairs!

He cleared his throat with the knife.

He spoke eloquently:...

"However, you also need to know this."

Before the birth of the Ghost Dragon.

Mr. Biggle noticed the strange phenomena in the area.

He used powerful magic to trace back to the origins of the Ghost Dragon.

That is, the story of Poison A'Bao.

This story filled him with immense regret.

It just so happens that at this time.

He discovered that A'Bao's soul seed had not been taken away by Death.

It's still active in A'Bao's heart! Mr. Biggle found this strange.

He investigated the matter.

It turned out that this was because the nearby toxic fog was truly terrifying!

Even the Soul Reaper dared not approach the Poison Dragon Pool.

And that is precisely the reason.

Only on A'Bao's corpse could an evil Ghost Dragon be conceived so many years after the original owner's death.

It represents the dirtiest part of A'Bao's soul!

After confirming this.

Mr. Bilig immediately took action.

He used "Reincarnation Technique" on the remaining portion of that soul seed.

to this end.

Mr. Biggle paid a heavy price.

It probably took him a day or two to sculpt such a decent-looking Poison Dragon Egg out of clay.

The reincarnation ceremony was then put on track.

According to Mr. Biggle's plan.

He will wait for the Ghost Dragon to be born.

Then kill it.

so.

A'Bao's soul was then complete.

That would satisfy the conditions for the "Reincarnation Technique" pre-set by Mr. Biggle.

But unforeseen events can happen at any time.

Mr. Biggle is in a bit of trouble.

This is because the "Great Cataclysm" was triggered ahead of schedule.

The entire Boxer Academy was forced to relocate south.

He could no longer stay there.

So he could only set up a delayed confinement spell nearby to ensure that the Ghost Dragon would not do anything wrong.

at the same time.

He hoped that someone could kill the Ghost Dragon.

And perform the final ritual of the Reincarnation Technique for him.

And once this ceremony is successful...

You can then have an adorable little poison dragon as a pet.

It is the newborn A'Bao!

Look.

Isn't this a very happy and fulfilling ending?

Speaking of which...

The knife paused slightly. "On the condition that you help complete A'Bao's final reincarnation ritual..."

Would you be willing to adopt this poor little poisonous dragon?

Roger hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he nodded firmly.

"That's great!"

The other two brothers cheered and jumped for joy:

"As long as we can help A'Bao successfully reincarnate, then our mission will be complete. I can't wait to return to Mr. Biggle's side!"

"Yes! But we need to bring out the thank-you gift for this gentleman first!"

As they were talking.

Forks and plates flew into the room, one on each side.

Not long after.

They flew out in a flurry of activity.

Roger looked closely.

But in those four deformed little hands, one could see an Transcendent Item and two invitation-style documents.

"You are welcome!"

"This is a reward for your kindness!"

The three of them said with smiles.

"Hint: You have obtained ' Biggle's Boxing Gloves' (Superb/Set)"

"You have received a letter of recommendation from the Biggle Boxer Academy."

"You have received an invitation to the ' Biggle High-Class Tea Party'"

"These boxing gloves?"

Roger looked at the simple, antique-looking boxing glove he had just received, a look of confusion on his face.

"Wasn't there one in the treasure chest they gave me before?"

"Could it be mass production?"

The Three Meal Brothers, gave an awkward but polite smile:

"No."

"This is genuine."

"The stuff in the treasure chest... those are all high-quality fakes we made ourselves, they're worthless..."

Roger was shocked!

He quickly took the thing out of the treasure chest to take a look.

At first glance, it looks exactly like the genuine product.

I've been looking at it for a long time.

Only the Qi Divination Technique revealed the clues! The genuine product is called "Biggle's Boxing Gloves".

It is followed by the modifier "Exceptional/Set".

The counterfeit version is simply called "Biggle's Boxing Gloves (Superb/Set)"! There's nothing else after that!

This is a complete rip-off! Aside from a little bit of warmth, it's utterly useless.

Without any attributes.

If the person's Appraisal Value is not high.

They might actually be fooled by this thing!

"What... did you do before?"

Roger couldn't help but ask.

The Three Meal Brothers, all showed embarrassed expressions.

Finally, it was the dinner knife that spoke:

"We are all poor students from the Boxer Academy."

Because of limited talent.

Biggle repeatedly hinted that we Unconventional Approach, so we started doing business in Unconventional Approach...

At first, our business went very smoothly.

No one noticed anything unusual.

Then an accident happened... The counterfeit goods we sold almost killed a traveling monk because of their quality issues.

The monk came to the academy and told the dean what had happened.

The dean was furious. In a fit of rage, he turned us into tableware and sentenced us to a hundred years in prison before he would lift the damned Deformation Technique on us! The three of us had no complaints about this punishment.

The problem is that over a thousand years have passed!

The Dean has probably forgotten about us!

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the three.

Roger's expression revealed a knowing look:

"So, as long as we help you complete A'Bao's reincarnation ritual, you can break the curse and have a way to return to that academy?"

"Boxer Academy"

The knife added, "The full name is ' Bigelli Vigorous Fist Style Mage Academy '."

As an Advanced Mage.

Teacher Biggle's understanding of a Dharma Master is slightly different from that of a conventional Dharma Master.

He believes that monks must maintain good physical health!

How can one become a powerful mage without a strong physique?

Just take a couple of spells and the person will be gone! Mage.

The most important thing is the margin for error!

These are his original words.

In order to put their beliefs into practice.

When he was young, he even secretly infiltrated a martial arts sect to learn.

However, he was quickly caught and beaten up.

Then he was kicked out.

The reason is that he was too fanatical about martial arts.

So much so that he looked like an undercover agent sent by another martial arts sect.

That setback had a great impact on Mr. Biggle.

later.

He created a series of powerful fist techniques to fight against Martial Artist.

The effect is very good.

If you are interested in learning these spells.

You can take that letter of recommendation to the Boxer Academy in the Southern Continent;

If you are interested in Mr. Biggle himself.

Then this invitation to the tea party might come in handy.

I'll say all of this in one go.

The knife then talked about Biggle's topic.

Roger's interest in the mage grew stronger.

A moment later.

The chef suddenly changed the subject. "Do you have any other questions?"

"If not, then let's complete the remaining rituals!"

Roger readily agreed.

The three brothers excitedly led the way.

Walk through the narrow passageway.

Roger arrived at a dark, secret room.

Candles were lit in all four corners of the secret room.

A complex Ether Magic Array was engraved on the floor.

At the center of the magic circle.

It was a vibrant, beating heart!

"The Ancient Poison Dragon's Heart (Ascension-grade Pillar Item)"

Description: The owner of this heart ingested too many toxins during his lifetime.

Most of those toxins settle here.

This makes the heart as strong as Ancient Dragon.

In addition, it dates back to an extremely long period of time.

Rather than calling it the Ancient Poison Dragon's Heart.

It's more accurate to call it the ' Poison Dragon's Heart '.

"Once the ceremony is complete, you can take the dragon egg and heart with you."

The knife-wielding man handed over a note with a smile.

"All you need to do is recite the incantation on the note to your heart."

Roger nodded and took the note.

After carefully browsing through it.

Roger walked straight towards the Poison Dragon's Heart!...

"Why..."

"Don't!"

What are you doing?!

Amidst the gasps of surprise from the three cutlery pieces.

Roger decisively picked up the Poison Dragon's Heart and put it into his Tinder Pouch!

then.

He did it in front of the three of them.

Tear that note to shreds! "I said, you three..."

"Wasn't the performance a bit over the top?"

"I haven't even finished the 'ritual' yet, and the reward is already being eagerly stuffed into my hands..."

"While it's true that greed can cloud judgment, your flaws are far too numerous!"

Roger said with a light laugh.

Pillar-level item acquired.

He no longer needed to play along with their act.

The quickest solution is to lay everything on the table!

And everything that just happened.

This information is clearly recorded in the data column.

"Log: The fork used 'lowering your guard,' the plate used 'changing the subject,' and the knife used 'bluffing'!"

"Sixth Sense: The bluff has failed! You realize that there are inconsistencies and contradictions in how the knife refers to ' Biggle '. Regardless of their identity, they could not possibly have been students at the Boxer Academy."

"Reading: You have discovered a ' Curse Transfer ' spell."

"Warning: You may become a vessel for ' Curse Transfer '!"

"Log: You have obtained the ' Ancient Poison Dragon's Heart '. Reincarnation Technique is in effect..."

"Notification: The Reincarnation Technique has taken effect! Your Poison Dragon Egg now officially possesses ' A'Bao's Soul'!"

"Are you... are you kidding me...?"

The knife smiled rather reluctantly.

Roger suddenly reached out and grabbed! Floating Cloud Palm! Two sharp slaps.

The knife and fork were caught in the Floating Cloud Palm that were wielded simultaneously.

And the porcelain plate, which was trying to escape at the last moment, was caught up by Roger with a flash! "I'll talk!"

"I'll talk!"

"I'll tell you everything..."

The porcelain dish pleaded for mercy in a tearful voice.

However, he responded.

It was just a merciless friction!

The porcelain plate was discovered in astonishment.

Roger was vigorously kneading his surface with his right hand!

At the beginning.

He also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But as time went on...

He actually felt somewhat comfortable!

"Hint: You have used the Intelligence Reduction Hand' on the porcelain plate; it will now obey your every command..."

Not long after.

Roger successfully won over the three pieces of tableware.

From their mouths.

Roger learned the truth of the matter—most of what Dinner Knife said was true, especially the part about Biggle, which couldn't be more true.

But their identities were fake.

They are not students of the Boxer Academy.

Instead, he was the leader of a gang of bandits who used to be active near the academy! He occasionally did part-time work in forgery.

Because of the harm done to one side.

The three of them were punished by Biggle.

They became tableware and remained steadfast in their place.

Biggle told them.

If someone can kill the Ghost Dragon and allow the Poison Dragon A'Bao to successfully complete his reincarnation, they can return to Biggle's side, at which point the curse will be lifted, and they will be given a new life.

But too much time has passed.

The three were worried that Biggle would die during the time of the forbidden curse that would destroy the world and the change of eras.

In that case.

Their curse is probably unbreakable.

So they spent their days and nights in that little house researching ways to break the curse.

final.

In the books left by Biggle.

They found a crooked and unorthodox method.

This is the "Curse Transfer" that Roger sensed!...

Upon hearing this...

Roger was deeply moved.

He ordered the three men to retrieve the book.

After carefully reading through it once.

Roger gave him an "I knew it" look.

"Hint: You have read ' The Vanishing Curse '"

"Extraordinary Perception: You have detected 'dark pages tucked between the pages of the book'."

"Dark page: ' Curse Transfer ' is of course nonsense."

These three robbers had killed many innocent people.

But when they knelt before me, weeping and expressing their repentance...

I still softened.

I will give them a chance.

But it will also be a test for them.

I know that human nature often cannot withstand the test.

But I can't help but want to believe that others can withstand the test.

Just like myself back then.

When you see this dark page.

This proves that they failed the test.

terribly sorry.

This has caused you some trouble.

This is just a small compensation.

When the last line of writing disappeared from Roger's sight.

The hidden page then spontaneously combusted.

A small Teleportation Gate appeared above Roger's head.

at the same time.

The bodies of the Three Meal Brothers also spontaneously combusted.

Amidst the screams of the tableware.

Roger also received the "compensation" Biggle mentioned! Snap! Inside the Teleportation Gate.

A thick, heavy book fell down! It almost hit Roger on the head again! After the book landed...

The Teleportation Gate then disappeared.

"Hint: You have obtained ' Bigelli's Vigorous Fist Spell Compendium '"

"Complete Encyclopedia of Spells: This contains all the force field spells created by Biggle his life. The spell catalog is as follows:"

Chapter One: Bigelli Deterrence Fist

Chapter Two: Practical Demonstration of the Shocking Fist

Chapter Three Bigelli Crotch Crushing Fist

Chapter Four: Practical Demonstration of the Hip-Shattering Fist

Chapter Five: Bigelli Groin Kicking Foot

Chapter Six: Groin Kick...

"What the hell are those groin-crushing punches and Groin Kick?!"

"Could Biggle have been a disciple of the Pingsha School back then?!"

Roger exclaimed that she was an expert!

He then put the book away.

After the three pieces of tableware Self-Immolation, they disappeared.

There was no one else in the cabin.

Out of respect for Biggle.

Roger did not plunder extensively.

It was just a casual glance.

After confirming that there was indeed no treasure inside.

He then quietly left the cabin.

However, before leaving.

He still marked the location himself.

It's not hard to tell from the three robbers.

This little house survived the World-Ending Forbidden Spell.

There seems to be something fishy going on!

After settling things at the Lakeside Lodge.

Roger then headed north without stopping.

This trip to Poison Dragon Pool.

He gained quite a lot.

Not only did I get the most crucial Pillar Item, but I also got a Poison Dragon Egg!

As for Biggle's boxing gloves and books, and those two invitations.

Those are all considered extra freebies.

In Roger's eyes.

Their actual value is less than that of the sixty strong laborers sent by the "Dragonkin Harem"!

after all.

He is not a monk yet.

Furthermore,

He was originally a Martial Artist.

After taking up the position of Jade Phoenix Mage, she went to use magic to perform martial arts.

Something feels off.

Three hours later.

Roger found the teleportation array left behind by Yu Song.

Use the teleportation array.

He successfully reached the Sky Nest!

Before he could even leave "Yu Song's Cabin".

Then a bustling noise came from outside.

Roger was overjoyed upon hearing those sounds!

It sounds so familiar!

Hint: You have discovered a group of Harpy.

"You have discovered the ' Harpy Queen ' (LV99/Elite)"

"Have new Harpy migrated here?"

Looking at the magnificent scene in the Sky Nest.

Roger's expression gradually calmed down.

He went out to investigate discreetly.

Good heavens! Inside the nest...

They were densely packed with Harpy.

In that place where the familiar salty, fishy smell permeated.

Piled up one "phoenix feather" after another! And in the square.

It was covered with layer upon layer of bones!

"Where did these Harpy capture their people?"

Seeing this scene.

Roger sighed softly.

He cannot save all of humanity.

The only way is to start by killing all the monsters we encounter!

In order to achieve a quick victory.

Roger summoned all his capable underlings from the Demiplane.

He himself was enveloped in black aura!

"Notification: You have used the Second Form (Raven Saint)."

"The Feast of Crows: The ravens you commanded have slain a large number of Harpy..."

Wherever the dark storm went.

Blood flowed like a river on the Sky Nest.

Not long after.

All of the more than one thousand Harpy were wiped out.

Even the mighty Harpy Queen was not spared! Faced with the "Lone Ranger's" Suppression Barrier and the Taste of Blood.

In the end, she could only die in her lair!

Boom! A loud explosion followed.

The Harpy twisted and contorted.

A shadow swept past the crowd.

He instinctively wanted to touch the corpse.

However, at this very moment...

A sharp shout rang out, "Stop!"

The Ghost King turned around and looked at Roger with a bewildered expression.

Roger, however, kept his eyes glued to the data panel.

"You killed the Harpy Queen"

"Extermination Order: You have acquired a special ability from the Harpy Queen - Nest Building Instinct"

"Nest Building Instinct: You can quickly use twigs, mud, and saliva to build a suitable nest for yourself."

"Unlucky!"

Roger cursed inwardly.

He then said to the Ghost King with a blank expression, "You can make your move now."

"But remember."

"Next time, be a little slower. You won't lose any Soul Threads, understand?"

The Ghost King squatted down with a wronged expression to extract the Harpy Queen's Soul Threads.

His movements were very fluid.

The next second.

A golden light flashed!...

"Hint: The Red Moon Ghost King has extracted 1 high-grade Soul Threads."

Note: 1 high-grade Soul Threads is equivalent to 100 ordinary Soul Threads.

"Ah, this..."

Looking at the Ghost King, who was beaming with joy.

Roger was a little confused.

This means that Big Bad Guy isn't the Ghost King! The next second...

A terrifying thought popped into Roger's mind.

"Etc..."

"Could it be that Mystery is XXX?"

"No way?"

Roger quickly shook his head vigorously.

Get rid of all those messy thoughts from your mind!

After cleaning up the Sky Nest again.

Having regained his composure, Roger finally stood on the stairs leading to the upper floor.

He did not hesitate.

I walked straight up!

Hint: You have discovered the upper level of the Sky Nest.

"You have discovered the Remains of the Steel Dragon '."

"You've discovered the Remains of the Great Coal Flower '."

A strong smell of sulfur hit the air.

Before Roger could even properly observe the surrounding environment...

Suddenly.

A piercing alarm sounded beneath his feet! It was a small, cube-shaped robot! Roger instinctively stomped on it! Snap! The alarm stopped.

"What a noisy sound!"

"What a piece of junk!"

Roger was a little annoyed.

"Notification: You have destroyed one Alarm Robot."

"Your success rate in drawing Extermination Order has been slightly increased."

Wow!

Roger's mouth formed an "O" shape.
