Chapter 9: The Work of the Pit Daddy

The forbidden knowledge and blessings from the gods are far beyond what can be described, and this is a huge amount of information that can shut down the brain. Faced with the vast amount of information that the brain could not process for a while, the body's instinctive reaction chose to make Roger faint happily.

Trapped in a coma, Roger was immersed in the endless darkness of silence, losing the sense of his body, and his tired soul seemed to find a temporary respite.

Unfortunately, as if something was deliberately manipulated in the darkness, not even a moment of tranquility was not wanted to give Roger, the fragments of memory fell like broken lenses, and scenes from the past reappeared in the quiet darkness, and the overlapping images between each other were completely indistinguishable.

“...... Yesterday a new town council was held in the Sky Ring, and Speaker Steve ......"

The familiar sound of the magic crystal broadcast in his ears had not stopped, and Roger seemed to feel a pair of knotted arms around his neck, and a delicate body was lying behind him, Roger wanted to turn his face sideways and see Lin's delicate face hidden in his messy long hair.

“ ....... Stinky Roger, you're wearing my clothes, don't you think the clothes are small......."

As soon as Roger's frown was stretched, the fond memories shattered, and Lynn's blurred face became Caesar's angular face, which he almost pressed to his face, and said word by word, "....... Why are you looking at me like that? Because I took away your concept? Your main aura?"

"Otherwise, should I thank you?" said Roger as he heard himself remember.

"Don't resent me, Roger, in the old saying of our hometown, 'If you don't do it for yourself, you will be destroyed'......"

"Caesar, you were never like this before!What do you want!" The roar of his own past seemed to be in his ears, and he recalled the faint smile and fluttering words on the corner of Caesar's mouth.

"It's not an important thing, I just want the ..... that descended from the heavens in the AE1027 'Miracle of Magic' campaign"

"True Oracle!"

A fog of brilliant memories haunted Roger, and being in it made him feel like he was roaring at himself, and then he was Caesar, and even Lynn in his arms, and the chaotic memories made him unable to recognize his own face, Roger's soul trembled like a fetus and curled up on his knees, until he felt something furry cross the tip of his nose, teasing his nose, and sat up and sneezed.

The moment Roger got up, a flexible black shadow jumped down from Roger's face, and after a few ups and downs, he ran out a long way, squatting on the pile of bones on the side and innocently looking at Roger with a blank face.

When the darkness receded, Roger sat up with red eyes in his eyes, and all he saw was a cat staring at him with its head tilted.

This is a pure black cat, which does not look like a noble breed at all, but its eyes are yellow and blue. Seeing that Roger focused his eyes on himself, the black cat raised his head gracefully with his tail and slipped into the arms of Rust, who was sitting on the side, with small steps.

"This is your cat, it looks like a stinky fart." Roger rubbed his reddened eyes, suppressed the emotions that he had forgotten for a long time, and then said with an unhappy face, no need to guess, it must have been the one who squatted on his face and shook his tail just now.

Rust held the black cat in one hand and scratched its chin, and the black cat closed its eyes with a soft purring sound in its throat.

"It's called Abu," Rust said softly, wiggling Abu's little paws, "it was brought back from the Waterworld Boat Village once, and I was one of their main gods there. ”

"The world believed in the earth, the sea, and death, because it was almost entirely covered by water, and the few landmasses that were barely larger than the islands, and the scarce land was not enough to accommodate everyone, and after hundreds of years of turmoil and war around the land, the people there finally decided to use the land as a common resource, leaving only some people to plant and harvest. More people live at sea, and cats have become their indispensable companions. ”

"People bring cats to the boat to deal with the severe rodent infestation, and having a cat is also an effective way for people on the boat to relieve their loneliness. If you're there for work, you can stay there for a few more days, except for the occasional storm at sea, where it's a peaceful blue world. ”

"So this cat is a sacrifice to you by the people there?" Roger asked, standing up, patting the dust off his body.

There was a rare hint of embarrassment on Rust's unfazed face, "That's not it, I went there when I was chasing an abnormal plane fluctuation, there is a group of believers in the earth goddess who distort their thoughts and beliefs, and I don't know which nerve is abnormal, and I want to forcibly raise the continental shelf through magic rituals to achieve the miracle of creating a new continent, completely ignoring the possible consequences, I will take action to solve them." ”

I'm rubbing, big guy, your business trip is a bit high-energy. Roger wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist, and complained in his heart.

Rust, who was sitting upright, took Abu in his arms and continued, "When I checked the situation afterwards, I found that I didn't seem to pay attention at the time, and I was involved with a girl on the ship who was used as a sacrifice to the gods. ”

"So," said Roger, as if he had discovered some strange hobby of his boss, with a look of surprise, "you killed someone's sister and didn't resurrect it well, and turned her into a cat?

Rust scratched his head, and Abu got into his clothes and twisted around, "At that time, I didn't grasp the strength, and directly issued the highest death edict to them, and all the life in the range was erased by me, but I didn't expect there to be innocent people." ”

"By the time I could barely pull out the fragment of her soul, the only remaining soul echoes were animalistic instincts, and it happened that the madmen had a newborn kitten on the boat, so I had to shape it into the image in front of me, and it stuck to me ever since. ”

After some narration by Rust, Roger carefully looked at Abu who showed a small head in his arms, and saw that it looked like it was enjoying it, Roger spread his hands and said: "It's really not easy to come out from a human to a cat, so you will leave tasks like this to me in the future, right?" He was obviously referring to the deeds of the madmen of the water world that Rust had just mentioned.

"Not necessarily," Rust shook his finger as he stretched out his finger, "The work of the Rangers is broadly divided into two categories, one is the anomalous and disorderly phenomenon that has appeared in a certain plane that has been detected by the Divine Court's monitoring, which is conveyed to you through me, and the other is through the blessing of the Chanter Dusen to you, so as to listen to the call of the believers who believe in me. ”

"Roger, the work you will face in the future will be very complicated, especially in the next century, from dealing with kingdom wars to the great Death Abyss Monarch will be within the scope of your work, and in some planes, you can call yourself,"

"Oracle. Hearing these two words, Roger's heart trembled.

"But in principle, you are not allowed to reveal your identity. Rust added quietly.

"So, you can rest assured that a magic apprentice like me will help you save the world," Roger said speechlessly, rubbing a fireball in his hand and bowing his head to play.

"Don't worry, I can't be wrong when I look at people" Rust got up and patted Roger's shoulder, with a disgusting expression that I liked, and then turned his back and muttered in a low voice, "It's mainly because the gods are in a hurry, I'm usually too lazy, I really can't find other alternate rangers, and I want a subordinate from another god to drop the price." ”

Roger's face suddenly turned black, "Hey, boss, I'm still here." ”

"Anyway", Rust, who heard the complaint, hurriedly diverted the topic, as the subordination between the two was established, the cold image he had worked so hard to maintain gradually collapsed, "I can still give you some help in the next period of time, and then you will have to deal with it yourself in the days to come." ”

"Learn to distinguish between right and wrong, and control yourself, Roger," Rust admonished with all seriousness, "and I don't want my subordinates to end up being distracted by a sudden force and in a frenzied rush for power, where there has been no shortage of rangers who need to be dealt with by the gods themselves." ”

"In that case, what is the point of the Ranger's existence?" Roger asked faintly, extinguishing the fireball, raising his head, his pure black eyes looking directly at the god.

"We can't do everything ourselves, Roger. Rust's face returned to a warm smile, trying to regain his original calm state, but this required ignoring Abu, who had been waving his little paws in the hem of his robe, "We maintain the world, and you maintain the world." ”

Seeing Roger's silent thinking when he heard his words, Rust nodded with satisfaction, took out a book with a heavy black cover from nothingness, flipped through it a few times, and said: "Okay, that's it for the Q&A session, as a newly recruited ranger, you generally need to complete a low-level task to prove yourself, given your strength, I'll take a look......"

Rust directly flipped the book to the end, and finally found a lowest-level task suitable for Roger in the corner of the page, he directly tore it off and handed it to Roger, "No, this task is handed over to you, you need to complete it independently." ”

Roger took the torn page with both hands, and scanned it roughly, only a few words were written on the yellowed paper, and then he heard Rust continue: "From now on, Ranger 9527 is your lifetime codename....."

"Hey, wait," Rust could finish before Roger interrupted, "Can that one be changed?"

Rust glanced at Roger suspiciously, then looked down a few more pages and said, "What about Ranger 2333?"

"Uh, uh, I always feel like there's a funny thing in my face. ”

“7777？”

"Is it really good to focus the world on me as an intelligence officer?"

"What about 4396?"

"Hey, it's good to play the same terrier once!"

“12825？”

"Sorry, I'm not interested in boys. ”

After a few times, the numbers that Rust broke out always had a sense of déjà vu that Roger couldn't stop complaining, "Boss, don't you have any other numbers?" ”

"There are so many problems, these are the numbers of the dead rangers, and the new numbers have been going down for days. Rust took out Abu, who was getting happier and happier in his arms, and looked at Roger with an unhappy expression.

"Your work style is really familiar. Roger continued to complain, "That's still 9527, and the few are a little bigger." ”

"As you wish. Rust closed the page, "Inspector 9527, there is something calling my name in my heart, and I will listen to your prayers, then"

He hugged Abu and waved, and the figure faded away, "We'll see you next time." ”

A moment later, Roger's wail rang out in the barren space.

"Hey, the boss took me out, how can I go back here~"
