Logically speaking, "incomplete knowledge" is the same as "knowledge."

Despite maintaining a good demeanor on the surface.

But Roger almost burst out laughing at the sight of the Little Raccoon.

He said kindly:

"Of course, these are all trivial matters."

"If you insist on pretending not to know each other, I can also pretend not to know that you know each other."

Upon hearing this...

The Little Raccoon looked to the Canary for help.

The latter hung his head, utterly dejected.

He seemed to be carefully choosing his words.

And at that very moment.

Looking at the goofy Little Raccoon, he suddenly retorted, "Then do you know us?"

This sentence.

She jumped onto the sofa and said it while shoving the Husky's washbasin! Roger was startled by her actions.

However, he quickly came up with a solution.

He quickly took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from the chubby-faced Little Raccoon, before slowly speaking:

"Now that we know each other, don't we?"

The latter looked suspicious.

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

He had already guessed the Little Raccoon's identity—

He has a close relationship with Vera.

His simple and unpretentious manner is natural and effortless.

Who else could it be but his foolish apprentice? But Qin's intuition surprised him.

That instant.

He almost thought his identity had been exposed!

On the sofa.

The Little Raccoon relentlessly closed in step by step:

I was referring to before that.

"You look familiar..."

The Husky was losing ground.

Roger's mind raced as he considered a solution.

Fortunately, it happened at that moment.

The Canary finally came to the rescue.

She flew to the Little Raccoon's head and pecked it hard. "Don't be rude to Mr. Husky!"

"Oh."

The Little Raccoon waved its fist in a wronged manner.

Vera's voice carried a hint of embarrassment and apology. "I'm sorry."

"My friend is straightforward, and she didn't mean any harm."

On the carpet.

The Husky, having been pushed off the platform, shook its fur and instantly regained its heroic spirit:

"It's alright."

"In fact, I was quite surprised that this impromptu gathering could be held."

"Nothing is more poignant than seeing familiar faces after thirty years..."

Roger's words clearly touched Vera's heartstrings.

The latter's tone also became more emotional:

"Thirty years..."

"Indeed, as you said, so much time has passed since Mr. Hediwala went to Asgard."

"I'm glad to see that you haven't changed much."

Roger smiled too:

"The same to you."

"Speaking of which, although I couldn't directly find the sect leader of the Clear Spring Sect back then, I did manage to get the information you requested to someone connected to him... So, has the matter from back then been resolved?"

Vera smiled wryly and said, "No."

"This is exactly what I wanted to tell you. The trouble that Clear Spring Sect faced thirty years ago is still unresolved, and has even become more serious..."

"I believe you delivered the message, because the Sect Master did indeed send back a subordinate, but he himself did not return. As for that subordinate..."

Speaking of which...

Vera suddenly stopped.

It seems I don't know what words to use to describe Sonsonia.

Upon seeing this.

The Little Raccoon chimed in, "That woman is full of bad intentions!"

"As soon as she arrived at the sect, she turned it into a mess, with numerous internal factions. The worst part is that she always thinks she's the strongest person in Mystra, but in reality, all she can do is scare people!"

"Most importantly, she's not that scary..."

During the Little Raccoon's complaints.

Vera always seemed hesitant to speak.

But until the very end.

She didn't interrupt Qin.

Instead, the author quietly added at the end, "To describe that woman as 'utterly worthless' might be an exaggeration, but her actions were only slightly better than that."

Roger remained silent after hearing this.

It's enough to drive someone with Qin's personality to talk badly about her behind her back.

How much of a rip-off has Sonsonia been over the years...?

It seems I didn't think things through back then.

They thought that sending an Ascended One would solve the problems on Mi Star.

But often.

Strength is not the standard by which everything is measured.

Even more tragically...

Sonsonia's strength isn't that great either.

Even someone who hasn't been promoted yet dares to criticize her.

This proves that the difference in their combat strength is not significant.

"... That's about it."

"Therefore, if possible, please help us contact our sect leader again for this impromptu gathering."

Vera pleaded, "Mystra's condition is very bad; I'm afraid only Celestial God-level powerhouse like him can help."

Roger looked troubled.

"I can only do my best."

"So much time has passed, I'm not sure if he's still in Quenan."

Vera nodded.

She knew that these kinds of things were all a matter of luck.

Mr. Husky is already very understanding for offering to help.

Just as she was secretly thinking about how to thank the other party.

Roger spoke up:

"Speaking of which, given such a serious problem, how did you manage to get the invitation to room 1214 for her?"

Vera was slightly taken aback.

Roger's statement actually contained many preconditions.

Once she opened her mouth to answer.

Unless it is completely rejected.

Otherwise, the other party will definitely obtain enough information.

"Mr. Husky ... seems quite concerned about our situation..."

"Perhaps it's out of curiosity about Mystra..."

Vera thought to herself.

She hesitated for a moment.

So he simply laid out his entire situation.

In any case, neither side has any vested interest in the other.

I still need their help.

Revealing some non-critical information shouldn't be a big problem.

that's all.

Roger successfully obtained information about them from Vera.

It even includes the whole story!

On that day...

Vera and her companions arrived at the Sea of Black Mist in pursuit of the Saint Sword Griffith.

at last.

They successfully caught up with the traitorous Holy Sword.

But they soon discovered that this was a trap set by Griffith.

It took them all "ascended to heaven"!

Under the scheme of the Holy Sword.

Vera and her group were taken inside the "Astral White Whale".

And here we are.

The Holy Sword has finally revealed its hand.

This guy told them that he didn't want to defect, but that he had something more important to do!

turn out to be.

After absorbing the power of 100,000 pigs.

Griffith, who was born in the "Celestial God's Palace," sensed the strange changes in the Above the Sky.

In its own words—

"A calamity that will affect the entire planet is brewing."

The root of the problem lies inside the beluga whale's belly.

We must stop it from being born! Ancient Evil can only destroy one continent at most.

That calamity will destroy the entire planet, as well as 'the present world and the History of the Present World '!

Immediately afterwards.

Griffith showed them the dangers they were about to face in the Above the Sky and the impending disaster.

It asked them for their help to eliminate the scourge.

As for Clear Spring Mountain.

It believes that only someone else can protect it.

Faced with this kind of kidnapping request.

Qin and Vera were naturally unwilling! But they had already been taken into the belly of the white whale by the holy sword.

Returning to land is now extremely difficult.

They were surrounded by many bizarre and monstrous creatures.

In order to survive.

They were forced to cooperate with the Holy Sword.

final.

The two parties agreed.

Griffith will expend his own power to give Jean and Vera a year-long intensive training.

One year later.

They were about to set off to eliminate the "planet-destroying threat" mentioned by the Holy Sword!...

"So... you were kidnapped by a sword?"

Roger asked in an exaggerated tone, "Why doesn't it tie up other people?"

Vera shook her head:

"Griffith said that if our Sect Master hadn't run off like that, it wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure..."

Roger was immediately embarrassed.

But his expression remained unchanged. "Ha... what an interesting sword..."

"But overall, you're safe now, aren't you?"

Vera nodded.

"But we've lost contact with Clear Spring Mountain. Looking down at the surface from the Astral White Whale, we can't even find Clear Spring Mountain anymore..."

"Perhaps..."

Speaking of which...

Her tone gradually softened.

The Little Raccoon sitting slumped on the sofa next to him also sighed.

"I will do my best to make the contact for you."

"I think if your sect leader is really as powerful as you say, then he must have considered this point."

"Experts of this level usually have their own considerations. Perhaps he's just training you..."

Roger had just said a couple of words of comfort.

Then he found the Little Raccoon right in his face again! "You really do look familiar."

The Little Raccoon sniffed the Husky intensely.

Startled, Roger quickly used his "Host Permissions" to select "adjournment".

"Excuse me."

"It's time for the impromptu gathering."

"I hope I'll have the chance to see you both again next time..."

As they were talking.

The Husky's shadow then vanished as a phantom.

In room 1214.

The Canary said helplessly:

"Qin, you've been a bit reckless..."

The Little Raccoon silently shook its head.

She seemed to be lost in thought for a long time.

Suddenly.

She looked up.

But he found himself all alone in the room.

"Notification: Your disciple Qin has completed her ' Graduation Quest '."

"You have gained 200 Clear Spring Sect Reputation."

"You have received a mysterious reward: Giving Back"

"Reciprocal Support: You will randomly copy one skill from your disciple Qin's skill list and add it to your own skill list..."

"You have acquired the specialization 'Higher Deformation Technique: Tauren Lord' from Jean."

"Advanced Deformation Technique (Tauren Lord): You can transform into a strong tauren lord."

The Tauren lords typically use great axes or large blunt weapons.

The Tauren Lord is an omnivore.

However, it consumes a large amount of grass.

After transforming into a minotaur lord.

You must maintain a certain daily intake of green plants.

at the same time.

You will gain the following signature abilities:

1. Summon elite or regular Tauren (once per day, 6 or 18 respectively).

2. Skill: Crushing Blow (400 points) (Uses the weapon in hand to crush all objects in a fan-shaped area in front)...

3. Skill: Stomp (400 points) (Initiates a continuous stomp on the ground, causing enemies to be stunned, shaken, or have their spellcasting or skills interrupted.)

4. Skill: Charge (400 points) (Charge at enemies in a straight line, using your massive body to knock them away or ram them with your horns)...

Look at this newly appeared line of information.

Roger revealed a knowing expression:

"It really is a zither."

The "Graduation Quest" he assigned to Qin was probably completed many years ago.

However, the task has not been settled for a long time.

Roger guessed that it might be because the two sides had no chance to meet again.

Everything that was happening before his eyes confirmed his view.

Actually, Roger didn't intend to keep it from Jyn.

He continued to maintain his secret identity partly to guard against Vera—

He hadn't forgotten that this was Vilan's daughter!

Even if the two sides seem to be at odds and there is a trend of life and death between them.

He also needs to be extra careful.

Furthermore,

Vera was tricked by Roger back then.

More than 30 years have passed.

Who knows if her memories have fully returned?

She originally came for Griffith.

If Roger making malicious speculations...

This time, the story of how Qin and she were 'tricked' into the belly of the Astral White Whale is not so simple.

He believed Griffith's account.

However, he remained wary of Vera.

After all, it's never wrong to be careful.

On the other hand...

Roger was still guarding against "Hediwala," or rather, the room " Under the Beneath the Immortal Palace."

Although he is now the homeowner.

However, he still had doubts about whether what happened in the room was absolutely secret.

So it should only be used as a last resort.

Roger will not reveal his identity in the Void Realm!

"The Graduation Quest is complete..."

"If the zither is sensitive enough, it should be able to sense something, right?"

Roger gazed quietly at the full moon in the Above the Sky.

"According to the rules of the Mystra martial arts world, from now on, she no longer needs to call me teacher."

"That's fine... I don't know how to teach anyway."

"It's this specialty..."

His gaze returned to the data panel.

He revealed a look that was hard to describe.

Although this child is now mainly focused on practicing martial arts.

But why are the choices for Deformation Technique still so strange? How did the Tauren Lord, who looks so weak, choose such a weak Deformation Technique?! Let's not even talk about those signature skills that aren't impressive at all.

Roger never imagined he'd have to eat grass every day after becoming a minotaur! "I need to eat green plants too; I can't just keep looking for grasslands everywhere, can I?"

He chuckled to himself.

I casually closed the data panel.

Roger began to think about the next steps.

He was in a hurry to get on the beluga whale.

A large part of the reason was for Jyn and Griffith.

But now Vera has made it clear to him.

They will be safe for at least a year.

This gave Roger some time to prepare.

He had carefully assessed the strength of the monsters on the "Steel Platform".

If we don't use what's in the pot.

Roger alone would have a hard time handling it.

The pot of cards has been drying up lately.

From the quinan to the Between Purgatory and then to Mystra.

Roger has been rushing around these days.

This makes it difficult for him to calm down and spend time reflecting on himself.

Perhaps it's time to take a break.

Looking at the "Poison Dragon's Heart" in the Tinder Pouch.

Roger finally made up his mind.

He planned to stay in the Sky Nest for a while.

on the one hand.

Roger needs to complete the Refining Poison into Evil of "A'Bao Poison" into a deadly poison.

Once this Ascension-grade toxin is available...

Roger believed that these tin cans would no longer be a match for him.

On the other hand...

He also needs to accumulate resources in other areas.

For example, stock up on "Gui Water Yin Lightning".

Another example is folding "Soldier's Vest".

There are also tedious matters to handle, such as "the construction of a temporary Starship Dock" and "the management of the Xia Yin Realm".

He desperately needs time!

Winter is coming soon.

"The conditions are indeed not ripe for forcing a crossing of the sea now."

"We can only let them settle down by the sea for a few months for now..."

Roger gradually began to form a clear overall plan in his mind.

After all the plans have been finalized.

That's how he recruited the core members of the Clear Spring Sect and Lotus City.

These plans were then put into action and communicated as a series of orders.

Very soon.

Everyone then learned of the Sect Master's new plan.

They have to survive the winter on the coastline.

We will cross the sea again next spring.

No one objected to the decision.

After all, the corn they have stockpiled at home was all conjured up by Roger, one ear at a time.

The public's trust in Roger had reached its peak.

Therefore.

When Roger took some time to return to Clear Spring Mountain.

He then saw rows of temporary huts appearing along the beautiful coastline.

The refugees came down from Clear Spring Mountain.

They set up temporary shelters outside Lotus Port.

Although the conditions were very poor.

But at least it can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Some people have also tried to reclaim some wasteland for farming and planting crops.

The effect was rather poor.

But it's still better than eating corn every day.

Furthermore,

People always need to find something to do while they're alive.

Everyone knows that the Sect Master is working hard to ensure everyone's livelihood.

They naturally wanted to contribute to the migration route.

therefore.

Under the organization of Hades, Mia, and others.

Many refugees began to work with the residents of Lotus Port to build boats for sailing.

As for the "Starship Dock" plan that Roger personally finalized.

As soon as the news was announced, tens of thousands of people came forward willing to help for free.

They have this enthusiasm.

Things will naturally not be difficult to accomplish.

Just half a month later.

Roger's dock for mooring and launching the UFO was beginning to take shape.

This was a very rare thing in an era with a very low level of industrialization.

Everything that happens on the coastline.

Everything was naturally under Roger's control.

A small incident also occurred during this time—

The construction of the shipyard went very smoothly.

However, Roger encountered some trouble at the beginning of recruiting starship sailors.

Because this UFO was crucial to Roger.

Therefore, he must strictly control the crew members who have close contact with UFOs.

After careful consideration.

Roger ultimately wanted to use some devilish servants to take on these positions.

to this end.

He raised his Contract Master level to LV70 and gained 40 Contract Points, which he could use to sign people.

The two minor specializations awarded as a contract upgrade bonus are only so-so.

But Roger was more concerned with the specific devil's choice.

in this regard.

He seriously consulted Sonsonia —the only value this girl now held in Roger's heart was in the field of contract masters. She seemed to have realized this after the war against the Ancient Evil, and Sonsonia readily gave a perfect answer to Roger's question! That was the "Walker Demon" from the nineteenth level of purgatory! According to Sonsonia...

These devils are born from the will of a devil lord, and are the ultimate tools that only obey pure Evil Nature! They possess high basic attributes, plasticity comparable to humans, absolute loyalty... and an almost tireless work ethic! Roger drooled over these excellent qualities.

But before the summoning.

Sonsonia also reminded Roger.

Walker Demon has a flaw.

They only obey those who possess an "Evil Nature".

The worst.

One must also have evil tendencies.

It's obvious.

Roger had killed countless people.

However, he has no evil tendencies.

On the contrary, with the support of his soaring reputation, he developed a very strong "inclination toward justice".

Sonsonia told him.

If this is not changed.

The Walker Demon probably won't sign a contract with him.

In response to this.

Roger waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.

He ignored Sonsonia's advice.

I spent 20 contract points to summon the same number of Walker Demon!

After those demons that resembled humans but were clearly more resistant to grass were summoned.

As expected, he showed a strong aversion to Roger!

"We will absolutely not pledge allegiance to you!"

Even if you kill me.

"The answer is the same!"

Walker Demon, the leader, was very tough.

Roger wasn't in a hurry.

He first used intimidation and coercion to lure and entice the victim.

The Walker Demon do indeed have some backbone.

Even with Formless Sword at their throats, they still refused to sign!

So Roger tried the "Intelligence Reduction Hand" again.

The result surprised Roger.

Even if one's IQ is reduced to that of a child.

Those devils still refuse to sign!

They kept telling Roger.

Only Evil Nature can make them submit!

Facing the indomitable Walker Demon.

Roger couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

final.

He unleashed his ultimate move.

Roger found Hades.

They handed over the 20 demons to the other party.

After one night.

Roger then gained 20 loyal followers.

This made Roger sigh.

Xiao Ha is indeed a valuable asset!

Take down Walker Demon.

Roger immediately distributed the trainee Gunslinger License he had created using the "Apprentice License Generator" to them.

Five days later.

These Walker Demon were then reassigned as "sharpshooters" and began receiving standardized starship knowledge training that Roger had stolen from Drovas.

About a month later.

The starship UFO, hidden inside the dock's isolation shield, was ready to go.

It's ready to launch at any time! But Roger didn't rush into action.

He continued to walk at his own pace.

Day after day, Refining Poison into Evil.

The amount of Gui Water Yin Lightning increases day by day.

Vests with gradually increasing layers.

Martial arts where proficiency improves slowly.

These are all proof that Roger worked hard.

Time slips away quickly in this monotonous period.

Not long after.

The south coast has seen its first heavy snowfall in decades.

Fortunately, the weather wasn't too cold.

The refugees are barely managing to survive.

And then spring arrives.

Roger is turning 32.

And finally, their harvest season has arrived!

Besides Refining Poison into Evil.

There is also the Zhenwu Jade Pendant, which achieves "Qi Fate Synchronization" in winter!

"Record: Qi Fate Synchronization Completed"

"You have become the owner of the ' Zhenwu Jade Pendant '"

"You have acquired a new skill: Harmony of Heaven and Man"

"Harmony of Heaven and Man: At the beginning of each month, you can randomly obtain one Martial Arts Insights of varying quality."

During these four months of intensive study...

Roger gained three general-purpose Martial Arts Insights.

This thing, when combined with any martial art, has a certain chance of producing new effects or derivative abilities.

The more Martial Arts Insights one invests...

The output will naturally be higher.

However, Roger currently has no such need.

So I've decided to save it for now.

In general.

The special skills granted by the Zhenwu Jade Pendant are quite good.

It's like getting a free salary every month.

After ending the synchronization with the Zhenwu Jade Pendant.

Roger then immediately resumed his intimate relationship with "Ascension Feather Garment".

As for the pen holder found at the back door of the Jade Phoenix Nest...

There's still a queue!

Having too many strange objects can be a nuisance.

Besides the Zhenwu Jade Pendant.

What pleased Roger most was the progress in Refining Poison into Evil!...

"Refining Poison into Evil: You have successfully refined ' A'Bao Poison ' into your own evil poison, and you have obtained ' A'Bao Poison Evil '."

"Now, all your attacks related to 'Qi' will be imbued with the ' A'Bao Poison Evil ' effect!"

"Notification: You have acquired a new feat from ' A'Bao Poison Evil ' - Heavenly Net / Myriad Poison Qi"

"Heavenly Net: Consumes 8000 Qi to throw out a net woven from poisonous energy."

Its minimum size is 60*60 (meters).

Enemies caught in the Heavenly Net will not only suffer from the poison of the A'Bao Poison Evil.

It will also be affected by a small amount of 'lattice Corrosion '.

"Myriad Poison Qi: When you stand still, nine ' Myriad Poison Qi ' will automatically form on your body surface, covering your entire body."

These nine streams of qi not only possess extremely strong defensive capabilities.

It also possesses the ability to cause reverse infection.

If the enemy attacks you while you are protected by ' Myriad Poison Qi '.

Then he will most likely be infected with the A'Bao Poison Evil.
