Eloquent Tongue

"What the heck is this 'Gray Dwarf ' approval'?"

Roger frowned.

I couldn't help but complain:

"Do I still need to use titles to gain my good brothers' approval?"

As for the additional 10 points of "Directional Sense".

Even for Roger, who possessed the Qi Divination Technique, it was of little use.

"The title system remains as good as ever."

Roger quietly shifted his focus to his new specialty.

"Deep Sea Breath (2nd Ring Feat): Your movement in the deep sea will not be subject to the special restrictions of the Deep Sea Domain."

This specialty seems unremarkable.

However, it can be quite useful in certain situations.

You need to know.

The deep sea and the Earth's core are the territories of Ancient Evil or other powerful monsters.

On their territory, Adventurers face significant restrictions on their every move.

However, the deep sea is home to a great many kinds of monsters.

To accumulate Sin Mark.

Roger will definitely go and take a look.

That's when this expertise will come in handy.

After Roger slayed the mother of the Icadore's Touch.

The already crumbling order of Death Omen Village was completely destroyed.

Against the backdrop of a sky ablaze with firelight.

The robbers fled in panic, not knowing where to go.

All the warehouses were roughly opened.

They fought each other for all sorts of supplies.

The Frost Gargoyle is like a deadly grim reaper.

It always appears unexpectedly, taking the lives of the robbers in the shortest possible time.

In comparison.

Roger's hunting efficiency was much lower.

Even so.

As dawn broke that night...

More than 120 members of the Red Sleeve Brotherhood died at his hands!

The gargoyles killed even more; the data column shows 231.

no way.

For bandits, level 35 elite monsters are a devastating blow when they lack a leader.

If these four hundred-plus people can unite, they can definitely defeat the gargoyles and Roger who doesn't level up in a head-on confrontation.

Unfortunately, Roger wouldn't give them a chance for a direct confrontation.

As the sun rises in the east.

Roger walked among the barracks, searching for any possible escapees.

After last night's killings and Big Fire.

Death Omen Village was left only with ruin and desolation.

The once bustling place was now as silent as a dead city.

Occasionally, a sound could be heard.

Those were civilians captured by bandits searching for supplies.

For these people.

Roger's attitude was to help whenever he could.

After a morning...

He sent all the survivors away.

He was the only one left in the entire Death Omen Village.

After lunch.

Roger stood atop the highest barracks, gazing northward at the tunnel, his brow furrowed.

Olbert never appeared.

This gave him a bad feeling.

Olbert should have noticed when he drove the train into the barrier last night.

No matter how far away the "front line" is, they should be back by now, right?

Something's not right.

The Death Omen Village was eerily silent.

There's a feeling that a storm is brewing.

Roger hesitated for a moment.

Ultimately, they decided to use their divination abilities.

Divination based on Qi Divination Technique has many limitations.

The first is the number of times.

You can only have your fortune told a maximum of three times a day.

This is an insurmountable bottom line.

The second is the side effects.

Each divination session consumes a certain amount of "luck".

Roger still doesn't understand what "luck" is, nor does he know what harm it will cause if it is depleted.

But he subconsciously felt that this was not a good thing.

The third aspect lies in the divination itself.

It's important to understand that divination is a risky and unpredictable process.

Therefore, the results of divination often have a high degree of randomness.

Sometimes you don't know that the image you see in a divination is the truth, or the truth that someone else wants you to see.

Based on the above reasons.

Roger was cautious about using divination.

But the current situation is...

Olbert's fate hinges on the success or failure of his advanced quest.

He had no choice but to have this divination done!

"Divination: Olbert's Location"

The screen was shaking violently.

It was like a tunnel with no end in sight.

I heard someone breathing rapidly and even somewhat frantically beside me.

Indistinctly.

Roger could hear strange wind sounds.

There were also some slightly familiar footsteps.

Suddenly.

The scene in front of you quickly zooms out.

From a perspective similar to a long take.

Roger spotted a gray shadow moving at high speed.

"What the hell?"

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

"Hint: You have gained Olbert's temporary perspective."

"So, he's in a hurry?"

"Are they on their way back to Death Omen Village?"

Roger's unease intensified.

Suddenly.

A thought suddenly popped into his head, "Could this guy have run away?!"

Just like the Corpse Demon back then! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility existed.

Thinking about this...

He suddenly jumped up and leaped off the roof, then headed north.

A dozen or so breaths.

He then arrived at the entrance to the northern tunnel.

This is an entrance to the Underground City.

Roger was just about to go and scout ahead.

A sound came from inside the tunnel.

A fierce-looking man in tattered clothes ran out from inside.

He saw Roger and shouted as if he had seen a savior:

"Go and inform Lord Capella immediately!"

"The Gray Dwarf are attacking!"

"Lord Olbert has abandoned us and run away!"

After saying these few sentences.

He couldn't help but stop and gasp for breath.

My legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"How could Olbert and the Red Sleeve Brotherhood be defeated by the Gray Dwarf?"

He was speechless.

Why do we always encounter situations where "the mission objective suddenly runs away while we're doing the mission"? Roger was furious.

The rustling sound came from inside the tunnel again.

The man's face turned pale instantly, and he muttered:

"How could it be so fast? How could it be so fast?"

"You stall me here for a bit, I'm fast enough to run and deliver the message!"

As he spoke, he struggled and ran towards the direction of the Death Omen Village.

He hadn't run more than a few steps when he stumbled and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Roger didn't even glance at him.

Tunnel entrance.

A squad of well-equipped Gray Dwarf knights charged out.

Roger raised his eyes, a hint of curiosity in his expression.

This group of Gray Dwarf is a little different.

They are much stronger than the Gray Dwarf of White Moon City! Their eyes are very sharp.

The mount I ride is also a top-quality subterranean lizard! Most importantly...

They didn't have any tumors on their necks!

Roger tried throwing a Sin Mark over.

Something amazing happened.

Note: Sin Mark only apply to monsters.

"Are these normal Gray Dwarf?"

"What's the deal with White Moon City's good brother?"

Roger drew his Qing Fu Sword as he pondered the matter.

At that very moment.

The Gray Dwarf at the front suddenly pulled on the reins.

The lizards that had been charging forward suddenly stopped in their tracks.

The two sides stood at a distance of about fifty meters and remained locked in a stalemate for a while.

The robber on the ground groaned even louder.

The Gray Dwarf knights drew closer to each other and chattered amongst themselves for a while.

Roger vaguely heard words like "destroyer" and "leader".

Not long after.

The Gray Dwarf knight pulled on the reins and retreated on his own initiative.

I watched their figures disappear into the depths of the tunnel.

Roger's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Three days later.

The outskirts of Lakeside Town.

A dozen or so people were gathered near a campfire.

Half of them are underground people.

The rest are of various races.

Beside the campfire.

A man in a grey robe is giving a passionate speech:

"By silently reciting the name of Icadore, one has a chance to receive His attention."

"Icadore never shortchanges His believers. Behold, this gold watch of mine is proof of that."

"Those who have come to this gathering today are all powerful figures in Lakeside Town. I know you still have doubts about the alliance, but time will prove me right..."

A sudden flash of light appeared.

The gray-robed man's head fell to the ground!

The others were startled and defensively distanced themselves.

Beside the campfire.

A man holding an oddly shaped longsword slowly appeared.

"Fuck it."

"I've finally found you."

He mumbled something indistinctly.

"You killed Olbert (human/elite)"

You have gained 11 XP points.

"You have gained 69 Xia Yin Value."

You have obtained 1 Agility Shard.

"Rewards for the Extermination Order are being collected..."

"You've acquired a specialty from Olbert — Eloquent Tongue."

"Who would have thought that the leader of the prestigious Red Sleeve Brotherhood would be a fraud?"

Looking at the new expertise in the data panel.

Roger kept shaking his head inwardly.

On the data panel.

A line of information quietly appeared.

"The requirements for the advanced mission (Heavenly Fate Grade) have been met. Do you wish to complete the mission?"
