Queen's Body

About Longevity Village.

Roger didn't actually know much.

Therefore, they faced this sudden sacrifice.

He chose to decline for the time being.

Under perception.

After his rejection signal was sent out.

The sacrificial signal from Longevity Village also fell silent.

This situation is actually quite normal.

Due to the differences in star orbits between Mystra and Telodal.

Communication between Roger and the Longevity Village has always been significantly delayed.

"If there's nothing wrong with the High Priestess's words, then even for the sake of the Vortex Demonized People, I have to go to Telodal."

Roger thought to himself.

At the same time, he was also somewhat interested in the offerings that Longevity Village was trying to make for him.

Rejection is not because you don't want it.

Rather, they are adhering to the principle of caution! The existence of Vortex Creature.

This made Roger realize that there are always people more capable than you, and that there is always something beyond your understanding.

Even if he became a star lord.

He cannot afford to be careless!

After quickly reviewing the relevant information about Longevity Village in his mind, he...

Roger began to think about how he could get to Tenodal.

As a Rootless God.

The White Turbid Serpent was actually qualified to send one of its avatars to Longevity Village.

However, this clone is somewhat weak.

The highest level is also extraordinary.

Considering that he was seen as a supreme deity by the people of Longevity Village.

Roger wished he could have a more powerful clone or projection.

However, these are not the specialties of the Hidden Hero.

The Slaughter Authority does not substantially increase the strength of the clone.

After thinking about it carefully for a while.

Roger decided to seek the Queen's help.

"The development of the Cloud Sea World is now on track, so losing one of me won't be a big deal... Hmm, ask the Queen for help to create a clone, and it needs to bypass Telodal's spies and descend upon the Longevity Village. As for the main body, it must remain in Mystra to deal with various unforeseen events..."

After making up my mind.

Roger quickly summoned several of his recently promoted confidants—all of whom were spirits from Peach Blossom Mountain and utterly loyal to Roger —and gave them some instructions.

He then invoked the Star Master Authority.

We left the Cloud Sea World.

Quinan Star.

Beya's divine kingdom.

A familiar starry sky background, on a high throne.

A pretty woman was holding it.

When Roger burst in.

Her eyes lit up slightly for a moment.

But it quickly faded away.

Roger noticed this.

He looked at Beya with some confusion.

soon.

He then realized something was wrong with the woman in front of him.

She is not the real Sea Serpent Queen!

It was just a clone.

However, unlike in the past...

Previously, the Queen publicly used clones from the Eternal Serpent —clones she used to breed with powerful individuals were all clones from the Ancient Serpent. Roger only learned this after the Ancient Desolate Continent incident. Therefore, whether Leviathan, whom he killed, was the Queen's son or the Eternal Serpent's son is still up in the air!

But the clone Roger encountered today was very different.

Perception Authority told him.

This is actually Beya's own clone!

This is very rare.

"If you had arrived earlier, I think she would have been very pleased. Unfortunately, you are too late. The Queen has already set off to explore the secrets of the Cosmic Stairway..."

"As for me, you can think of me as a superior avatar who possesses all of the Queen's memories, some of her Divine Duty, and most of her abilities!"

"Don't look at me like that. The words above were personally instilled into my mind by the Queen before she left, and I cannot change them myself!"

As he spoke.

She blinked pitifully.

Roger understood.

The purpose of this superior clone is to manage the various matters when the Queen is not present.

He felt he could simply use them as tools! So he told them his needs.

The latter answered without thinking:

"I happen to have an avatar here that's perfect for combat and exploration. This avatar possesses power beyond the Ascension level, but aside from that power, it has no sentience or rank. However, its combat prowess is overwhelming. It excels not only in close combat and hand-to-hand fighting but also possesses a considerable number of spells and divine arts..."

"Furthermore, this clone possesses extremely strong concealment. The Queen concealed the mark on its body, and since it lacks rank, the aura of the 5th Star Orbit is completely hidden. It should be able to meet your requirement of silent infiltration!"

The tool person went on and on about all the advantages of this clone.

The enthusiasm with which she spoke was comparable to that of Roger's sales staff in his previous life.

An unprecedented sense of novelty welled up in my heart—

This was the first time he had ever heard Beya speak to him in this tone.

"Beya is quite cute..."

Stop your thoughts.

Roger asked, "May I take a look at this clone first?"

"Sure."

The "tool" readily agreed:

"Please look..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand.

A faint, salty, fishy smell drifted through the divine realm.

Warm water slowly rises.

She gradually developed a beautiful figure.

As the image becomes more and more complete.

Roger's eyes widened even further.

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention, this clone has a drawback that might be a disadvantage for you—"

That means her gender is female...

He smiled as he explained to the "tool" (someone who was just a tool).

Roger was utterly exasperated.

He was certainly aware that this clone was a woman.

Because the other party gave him a clone.

He looks exactly like the tool in front of him.

It's Beya herself!

"Is it really appropriate to hand over the Queen's body to me like this?"

I thought about it for a long time.

Roger asked somewhat reservedly.

The "tool" looked at Roger with an innocent expression:

"Huh? Even the Queen herself didn't think it was inappropriate, so what do you think is inappropriate? Do you dislike this body...?"

"I didn't! I didn't! I wouldn't dare..."

Roger hurriedly denied it.

He just felt something was amiss.

But after a wry smile...

Roger's thinking gradually opened up—

He realized that the idea of using someone as a tool was not without merit.

In fact.

The Queen as Divine Kingdom Practitioner.

They clearly have a higher level of skill in creating clones!

The clones she created were highly concealed.

In terms of combat power, they completely outclass Roger and Snake.

As long as you can overcome the strange thought that pops up from time to time that "I am in the Queen's body".

This body really does seem to be the perfect choice for my journey to Telodal!...

Roger then thought about it seriously for a while.

I then had another in-depth exchange with the "tool person".

Ultimately, he devised the following plan for his arrival—

Guided by the realm of the Rootless God and relying on the divine kingdom Ocean Overlord, Roger will command the Longevity Village to hold a descent ceremony for him.

Of course, he wouldn't say that it was his true self who had descended upon Longevity Village.

In the oracle.

He would claim that he would send an envoy to investigate the situation in Longevity Village.

This determines whether or not to accept their sacrifices.

As long as the landing ceremony is held smoothly.

Therefore, his mission to travel to Telodal using the Queen's clone would be effortless.

After all, the divine power was borrowed from the Queen.

As for this kind of freeloading behavior.

The Queen herself had no objections.

Roger felt perfectly justified in rubbing his feet on the ground.

"The White Turbid Serpent is, after all, Subordinate God of the Queen, so it's perfectly reasonable for it to bask in some divine power..."

The plan is nearing its end.

Roger pondered for a moment and then made another request to the tool, "Excuse me, but..."

"Are there any more clones like this?"

The other person's eyes suddenly widened.

He stared at Roger with disbelief in his eyes:

"One isn't enough for you?"

"Tell me, how many do you want?"

Seeing that the other party did not seem to blame them.

Roger breathed a sigh of relief:

"I don't need too many, just two will do..."

The tool's gaze grew increasingly strange. "One of you was meant to be used for exploring Tyrodar, right??"

"And what about the other one?"

Roger coughed a few times.

They declined to comment.

The man who was being used as a tool showed a resentful look in his eyes.

Fortunately, it's good at splitting clones.

She was still very straightforward.

Not long after.

Roger suddenly had two warm bodies in his hands!

"As expected of a level 199 quasi-god, he can even send out Ascension-grade clones in bulk. How generous!"

Roger silently praised Beya in his heart.

In the time that follows.

He learned how to use the Queen's clone alone in the divine realm.

Gradually.

His skill level is getting higher and higher.

Their techniques have become increasingly sophisticated.

The variety of styles is also increasing.

Approximately 10 hours later.

These two bodies were already as familiar to Roger as his own!...

Three days later.

Roger received another message from Longevity Village—

Faced with a divine decree.

The High Priestess declared with great enthusiasm that they would mobilize the entire village to hold a grand coming and welcoming ceremony to welcome the great messenger of the gods.

Roger was satisfied with the attitude of the Longevity Village.

After replying quickly, I went to attend to other matters.

Who knew that Longevity Village would react so quickly this time?

Only half a day had passed.

The High Priestess's voice rang in Roger's ears once again!

Data bar prompt.

The coming ceremony is ready.

The 'divine messenger' can descend at any time.

This level of efficiency.

To Roger's surprise.

They also faintly sensed something unusual.

He did not immediately respond to the High Priestess's signal.

Instead, they immediately ran to the Queen's divine kingdom.

Under the cover of the authority of the Ocean Overlord, Roger took control of the White Turbid Serpent. In the name of the Time and Space Dragon, he slowly initiated the descent ritual.

"Notification: Your clone has descended upon Telodal..."

Hint: Your...

The slight dizziness gradually subsided.

Cheers surged in from all directions like a tidal wave.

Open your eyes.

Roger saw patches of shadows, like swaying bushes.

A huge brazier was placed in front of him.

The brazier was ablaze with flames.

Inside the Flame Halo.

Exquisite jade and mysterious runes complement each other.

The carcasses of several animals, their bodies growing cold, were placed on the opposite bank of the fire pit.

Thick, foul-smelling blood flowed from beneath them.

Some of the blood congealed into clots on the stone slab.

Despite a lack of understanding of space and divine magic.

Roger also understood that these corpses and blood clots provided the most important 'sign' in the Advent ritual.

If there is no contract.

Even if Roger had the exact coordinates of Longevity Village.

He also had no way to use the Queen's connections to bypass Telodal's spies and arrive here undetected.

You need to know.

Roger's previous caution.

It's most likely to be to defend against Telodal!

"Great Divine Envoy, the 609 Devout Believer of Longevity Village welcome your arrival..."

Beside the flame.

An elderly man wearing a white mask and with a hunched back spoke with all his might.

Behind him.

The densely packed residents of Longevity Village erupted in thunderous cheers.

The cheers were so loud and enthusiastic.

It seemed to have the power to thaw everything.

Even the usually composed Roger was subtly moved.

certainly.

Considering my current identity.

He—no, now it's her—didn't have much contact with the residents of Longevity Village.

After a brief and indifferent greeting to the High Priestess.

She turned and walked into the shadows:

"Don't follow me!"

"Time and Space Dragon will guide my way..."

A cold voice rang out.

The earth-shattering roar finally subsided somewhat.

In the crowd.

Men, women, young and old looked at each other in bewilderment.

The messenger suddenly left.

They seemed unsure how to continue the welcoming ceremony!

Fortunately, the High Priestess was experienced and shrewd.

He briefly reassured the crowd whose enthusiasm had been met with indifference.

Then he ordered everyone not to disturb the messenger.

Not long after.

The originally grand and lively welcoming ceremony ended abruptly.

It's easy to see the disappointment on people's faces.

In their vision.

Tonight's program should be much richer and more exciting than what we have now.

As a result of disturbing their enjoyment.

Roger silently apologized to himself.

He calmly observed people's reactions and expressions.

Very soon.

Roger then realized that the villagers here looked very similar to the Ancient Ancestors of Quenan.

This means that the information he had previously obtained should be irrefutable— the Qi Refiner did indeed arrive in Telodal after leaving Quinan.

They settled here and multiplied.

After a few years of peace and quiet.

Unfortunately, they soon encountered other troubles.

"Let's first get a quick overview of the village..."

Between thoughts.

Roger was already walking on the empty village streets.

It was a moonlit night.

Her footsteps were silent, and her body was as light as water.

She walked along the muddy ridges of the fields under the moonlight.

Behind them were bright firelight and the faint sounds of people talking.

Ahead lay rolling hills and lush, verdant trees.

The paddy fields on both sides were filled with rice that neither Mystra nor Quinan had ever seen before.

When they came to the edge of a field.

Roger even encountered a sleeping water buffalo!

Gradually.

Roger's eyes became somewhat confused.

Because it's here.

He found nothing unusual! He didn't sense any Aberrant Matter!

The night sky was filled with bright stars.

Beneath my feet lies soft, fertile soil.

The air was filled with the sounds of crickets, cicadas, frogs, and orioles...

Everything was so peaceful and serene.

This is just as the High Priestess described in his second message.

It is truly a rare Secluded Paradise!

"But it seems..."

"Something still doesn't feel right..."

Roger returns.

Watching the lights in the village gradually go out.

I don't know if it's just my imagination—

My thinking seems to have become a bit sluggish...
