What Happened to My Blades?

The atmosphere gradually became heavy.

In response to Roger's question.

Cindy remained silent for a long time.

He then responded with a sense of loss:

"I have no idea."

"My memory is still incomplete; I can sense that some of the knowledge that comes from my bloodline is still obscured."

"Your deduction is very likely the truth..."

"But until the day comes when the real truth comes out."

"It's all just pointless speculation."

Roger nodded.

Cindy's response was, in a sense, quite similar to his current state of mind.

He had many guesses about the time travel thing.

But before we get to the truth.

Excessive speculation is certainly not helpful.

only.

Roger's intuition told him:

Cindy and that alchemy game must have a deep connection.

Perhaps all he needs to do is find the ruins of Red Valley.

Many astonishing truths will then be revealed.

But the other side of Perception Authority also told him.

The truth may be some unacceptable facts.

Contacting information related to Red Valley Alchemy could very well bring him misfortune.

These two possibilities create a huge contradiction in perception.

They were like two little people fighting wildly in Roger's mind.

Later on, the fight continued.

Roger thought of the word "Red Valley".

His head would start to ache terribly! This was the first time this had happened since he gained control of his Perception Authority.

It is clear that Cindy's background is indeed full of mysteries.

At present.

The two of them pondered for a while.

A moment later.

Cindy took the initiative to end her state of contemplation.

She said in a low voice, "Deep within this continent lie not only the ruins of Red Valley."

"There is also a force active from higher orbits."

"I cannot yet determine the nature of its power, but it is very similar to certain ethnic groups of Yggdrasil."

Yggdrasil? Roger's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't that the last remaining planet of the Third Star Track? It's also the planet where Asgard is located!

"Could it be that Immortal Palace Traitor?"

This brings to mind Hediwala's commission.

Roger felt his shoulders growing heavier and heavier.

In a short time.

He felt as if he were a lone boat caught between two raging torrents.

A powerful force was silently guiding him deeper into the continent;

But deep down, a voice kept warning him: it's dangerous there.

Stay away from all of this! Roger couldn't understand what power Above Twin Stars could threaten him.

But he never underestimated any potential adversary.

therefore.

He was caught in a rare inner struggle.

Cindy, standing beside him, seemed to have noticed his hesitation.

He then gently comforted her, saying:

"It's okay if you don't go."

"We also have a plan: find a sufficiently evil person, and as for the process of tricking him into becoming the Cleaner's master, just treat it as an execution..."

"My power cannot maintain the Second Form for long, but I will secretly help my younger self handle the matters concerning the White Cat Authority, so please rest assured."

"That's all for now, goodbye, Roger!"

After saying that.

Her figure slowly disappeared.

Instead.

It was a chubby little elf whose face was full of confusion.

Roger casually pinched its cheek.

Then he turned and left with her.

The resurgence of Cindy's Second Form was just a minor episode for Roger.

The information she provided was important.

But that doesn't yet influence Roger's current decision.

About Beya.

He has always been quite trusting.

Even if this incident is backed by the projection of a major villain like the Eternal Serpent.

Roger would not easily doubt his allies.

so.

Fallen Pine Plains.

He will definitely go.

And it takes a week.

That's enough for him to do a lot of things.

For example.

Think carefully about whether you want to thoroughly investigate the "Red Valley Alchemist" clue; or for example.

Should we seize the opportunity to shift our focus to tracking down the Immortal Palace Traitor?

And of course, there's the most important thing.

First, let's wipe out the Starry Sky God Race! For Roger...

This is the most practically significant task.

That's far better than Bi Gan sitting there daydreaming.

Therefore, he was highly motivated to put it into practice.

That night.

Roger then used the Information Scroll to successfully create a character with approximately 1/10 of Sophie's skill set.

As for appearance and aura.

Naturally, it is 100% identical to Sophie.

Under the cover of night.

Roger made a decisive move.

Unlike Sophie, who always chooses to target the strongest among the Starry Sky God.

Roger, however, chose to strike the weakest among the Starry Sky God Race.

After all, this is part of the algorithm for Sin Mark.

There is no essential difference between strong and weak.

Killing a Starry Sky God Race only slightly increases one's life points.

Roger certainly wouldn't want to create trouble for his work.

That night.

He Full Firepower.

The killings caused panic among the Starry Sky God Race near Ice Dragon Canyon.

The main force to which White Cat belonged was ordered to retreat and camp on a plain 10 kilometers below the foot of the mountain.

daytime.

Roger discreetly mingled with the White Cat God among the main force.

They obeyed their superiors' orders with utmost loyalty.

They discovered that the Celestial Gods Race Hunter had suddenly stopped acting according to their previous patterns.

Enraged, the Starry Sky God Race intensified their search efforts.

The entire Ice Dragon Canyon was almost entirely filled with totem arrays and the Eye of the Stars.

But they just couldn't find Sophie! This greatly surprised Roger.

So the second and third nights.

He increased the force of his brushing.

Especially the third night.

He Full Firepower at one point.

One instance of luring monsters nearly gathered around 20,000 Starry Sky God Race together.

Although they are all the lowest grade of "God's Blood".

But it also caused him some trouble.

Fortunately, Roger was ultimately more skilled.

After eliminating 1/3 of the "God's Blood".

He drifted away.

It left no trace.

then.

Daytime on the fourth day.

The Starry Sky God Race mobilized in full force.

The last 1/20th of the unmonitored area of Ice Dragon Canyon was also filled.

This time.

Let alone Sophie.

Roger dared not make any rash moves.

The Starry Sky God Race ' surveillance network is not just for show.

For the first three nights, he deliberately avoided those places and committed the crimes by force.

In terms of efficiency

It's just so-so.

I risked being discovered and spent three days grinding like crazy.

The progress bar has only increased to 1/10.

It can only be said that the road to increasing health is still very long! Roger still needs to work hard! Of course.

While Roger was checking the progress bar, he had a completely different thought in his mind—

"If Nullification Blades in my hand..."

"It's done now!"

Despite Roger doing his own mental work Celestial Capital.

But the Nullification Blades remained the divine weapon he always longed for.

Furthermore, three consecutive days of impersonation and rampage failed to lure out Sophie was hiding in the shadows.

Roger finally decided to change his approach—

"Continuing to hunt down and kill the Starry Sky God Race is not a solution."

"Sophie is very calm."

"It wouldn't be good if the Starry Sky God Race pushed them too far and used their ultimate attack on me instead."

"Looks like I'll have to pay a visit to the Celestial Gods Race Hunter tonight!"

Thinking about this...

He couldn't help but glance at the data panel.

"Lingering Fragrance (Ambergris Effect): Scent coordinates complete... Ice Dragon Canyon XXX. YYY. ZZZ!"

"Ultimate Hunter: Enable Tracking?"

Activating the Ultimate Hunter means greatly increasing the likelihood that the "Fragrance" backup plan will be discovered.

Assuming Roger would never rashly teleport there.

This could give Sophie an opportunity to retaliate.

But the changing circumstances left Roger no time to hesitate.

It was dusk on the fourth day, before nightfall.

He followed the Ultimate Hunter's senses and arrived at a low-lying pool in Ice Dragon Canyon.

There is a waterfall over the pool.

With the help of Ascension Perception.

Roger successfully found a very hidden cave entrance behind the waterfall!

This cave is extremely deep and secluded.

Roger used his Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing sense it.

We discovered that there is only one exit in one direction here!

And deep inside the cave.

Indeed, there is a living being that is recovering its physical strength and energy at an extremely slow pace.

Her heart rate was so low that it was almost imperceptible.

The traces of body temperature and scent were also perfectly erased.

"No wonder the Starry Sky God Race Clan couldn't find her!"

Roger nodded secretly.

In fact.

If it weren't for his unique fragrance as a guide...

It's impossible to find such a filthy place! I lingered at the cave entrance for a while.

Roger was about to go in.

But then they stopped.

"Logically speaking, even if this place is very well hidden, a cunning rabbit should have three burrows, so she should have left herself an escape route..."

"Could there be a trap involved?"

Roger hid outside the cave.

My heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

There was another factor preventing him from decisively breaking in.

That's the Celestial Gods Race's goal! These past few days...

Roger had given serious thought to Sophie's purpose in coming here to cause trouble.

Judging solely from her behavior.

It's just like the violent revenge of a young man for a family feud.

But Roger didn't believe that the Celestial Gods Race would really allow such a talented hunter to engage in meaningless indiscriminate killing.

Considering that Beya mentioned the Celestial Gods Race God Slaughtering Day Festival ".

Roger always felt that there must be a deeper secret behind Sophie's appearance in Ice Dragon Canyon.

There's more to the story.

This means there is a high possibility of a trap.

"Perhaps she didn't come to Ice Dragon Canyon alone."

"Perhaps her massacre was just a cover-up for something else..."

Roger secretly wondered what was going on.

At present.

He patiently lay prone at the entrance of the hole.

They repeatedly explored using their Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing, as well as their Perception Authority.

As for the wolf cubs...

He even sent them out early on to gather information.

In less than 20 minutes.

A new message appeared in the data panel.

"The Injured Wolf: New information on the Hidden Cave!"

"Your kin have discovered 16 extremely dangerous traps and barriers in the upper part of the hidden cave, enough to bury most careless thieves or assassins."

And near the cave entrance.

A tiny, almost imperceptible group of ' Ether Worms ' are active! They are the most stealthy reconnaissance guards.

Once an outsider approaches.

The owner deep inside the cave will be the first to notice the anomaly!

In the middle of a hidden cave.

The seemingly single passage was randomly redirected to 99 spacetime rifts.

These spacetime rifts each point to different Space-Time Turbulence.

Anyone who gets involved in it.

The next second could be spent in places like Purgatory, Abyss, Starry Sky, or Sea of Ruins!

Warn!

These spacetime rifts are extremely dangerous.

And it is uncontrollable.

At the same time, it also shows a tendency to spread to the surrounding areas!...

The lower section of the hidden cave cannot be explored!

There was indeed a trap.

And not just in one place! Roger sneered.

But the next second...

He then realized something was wrong—

"Such a complex tunnel trap design..."

"And it's blatantly displayed right under the noses of the Starry Sky God Race?"

"Isn't it because you're worried that people won't find out about you?"

In an instant.

Roger used a blink to create distance.

His figure appeared above the pool and waterfall.

After gazing intently down for several seconds...

A new red light appeared in his vision!...

"Hint: You have discovered ' Demigod Artifact: Cliffside Cave'"

"Clausque cave: a movable cave dwelling."

Players can freely design the levels and traps inside the cave.

It has extremely high stealth and adaptability.

"Can blend into the environment at any time so as not to be discovered by anyone..."

Another Demigod Artifact!

Roger couldn't help but bite his lip.

Is this rich young woman from the Celestial Gods Race involved in wholesaling Demigod Artifact artifacts?

Including the Nullification Blades.

This is the third Demigod Artifact Roger has seen on her!

Although the appearance of this thing further strengthened Roger's idea of robbing the rich to help the poor.

But the Demigod Artifact artifact is right here.

He didn't dare to act recklessly.

At present.

Roger pushed back a kilometer with remarkable restraint.

I found a place and started "Concealment".

He will guard Sophie's cave!

"I don't believe you can stay calm forever!"

With that in mind.

Roger began the tedious and monotonous stakeout operation.

He originally thought...

Based on Sophie's previous display of patience and composure.

I'm afraid it will take me a long time to catch her.

But who knew what would happen in the latter half of that night?

A slight noise came from deep within the cave! Three minutes later.

A lithe figure leaped out of the waterfall.

Under the moonlight.

She cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

After confirming that there was no danger.

She quickly erased the traces of her footsteps.

Then it melted into the night! One kilometer away.

Roger held his breath.

He calmly followed.

After leaving the cave.

Sophie didn't go too far.

She quickly arrived at a very shallow valley in the western part of Ice Dragon Canyon.

At the entrance to the valley.

A tall, dark figure was waiting for her.

The moment I saw her.

The dark figure coldly asked, "You've arrived? Where are you?"

Sophie said calmly:

"Right behind me!"

The next second.

The two launched a surprise attack almost simultaneously on Roger's hiding place, which was less than 300 meters behind Sophie!

Whoosh! Several streaks of lightning ripped through the night sky.

The air froze in that instant.

But things quickly returned to normal afterwards.

Under a giant, dead banyan tree.

The dark figure coldly watched the scattered shadows on the ground.

Then he slowly lowered the knife in his hand:

"He is very cautious."

"What came was just a projection."

"I killed him."

Tens of meters away.

Sophie frowned.

Although we eliminated that perverted projection.

But she always had an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

That feeling is hard to describe.

It was as if something had drifted away from her...

"Etc!"

Sophie suddenly woke up.

She instinctively reached for her waist.

The next second.

A scream rang out in the shallow valley:

"Where's my knife?!"

The shadowy figure was taken aback by the question.

In an instant.

The two looked around.

But on the hillside not far away, one could see...

A figure was sprinting at full speed! It was about to disappear from sight! "Chase!"

The shadowy figure finished speaking.

He simply vanished from the spot.

Sophie gritted her teeth and followed!...

I spent most of yesterday at the hospital. It was really uncomfortable. I'll try my best to manage these next few days. If it really gets too much, I won't bother everyone with a separate post; I'm truly sorry.
