098 The Despicable Disciple (5,000 Words 2-in-1)
"Another curiosity."
Roger was overjoyed.
The "Crescent Moon Jade Pendant" should be the strange thing of the Pingsha Sect -
Each martial arts school will have its own curiosities.
The prosperous Damen Sect will even have multiple strange things.
For the most part.
There is no conflict between strange things.
This means that Roger can have both the "Crow's Crown" and the "Jade Crescent Pendant" feat.
At that moment, he decisively chose "yes".
A faint glow emanated from the crescent moon jade pendant.
Hot breath poured into his body.
It made him feel comfortable and refreshing.
Half an hour later.
……
"Today's Qi and Life Harmony Complete"
"Progress: 1/14"
"You're one step closer to the owner of the Crescent Jade Pendant."
……
Compared to the "1 hour * 30 days a day" of the crow crown, the crescent moon jade pendant seems to be much easier to handle.
Roger guessed that this had something to do with the fact that he had obtained the true biography of the Black Tiger Master.
……
For the next period of time.
Roger lived a life of seclusion.
In addition to the timing of the same tone.
He devoted more of his energy to pharmacy and the production of strategic materials.
The rest of the people on the farm are used to it.
After all, in the days when he was away.
Alain succeeded in creating the illusion that "Master Roger had been on the farm and had never left".
And in this process, "hiding in the market" also played a big role.
Many people know Master Roger as a person.
But when it comes to specific things, you can't help but forget about his existence.
Of course.
This is also due to the fact that the number of jonny turtles and water ghosts has decreased sharply after the year, and the growth of crops is no longer frequently infested by monsters.
In the meantime.
Roger once secretly went to the Water Ghost Forest once.
As a result, he was a little sad.
The once bustling water ghost forest became empty, and only a large number of water thorns grew more and more prosperous.
It's just that the water ghost brother is gone.
The Jonny turtles were left with only a nest of eggshells for him.
There are eggshells.
It proves that those female turtles are still so persistent.
But where did the hatched little brothers go.
This question became Roger's heart disease for a while.
He was depressed for days.
In the blink of an eye.
It's the end of September.
……
In the attic in the dead of night.
Roger is in the middle of a final breath of harmony.
But somehow.
Tonight, his mind was troubled.
I couldn't get up several times.
"It's a feeling...... Wrong. ”
Roger put down the crescent jade pendant with a solemn expression.
There is no need for manual divination.
The 3-ring Qi Lookout technique has a hint.
……
"Hint: You perceive danger approaching, it's a very strong and precise intuition."
……
"Hint: The potential danger may be related to the Boneyard or Limestone City"
……
"Sure enough."
Roger did not hesitate and resolutely chose divination.
Now he knew it.
The luck consumed by divination is closely related to the intensity of the divination event.
The luck consumed by ordinary trivial things can be replenished in a day or two.
There are many more big events.
But as long as Roger can get more benefits through the results of divination.
That is equivalent to investing in a wave of petty luck in exchange for a wave of atmospheric luck.
It's actually a good deal.
But there is still something to be aware of.
Investing in this kind of thing involves a huge amount of risk.
Therefore, Roger has always maintained restraint and caution in his heart for divination.
Only in a situation like today's would he not hesitate to strike.
……
"Divination: Movement in Limestone City"
……
The epic image abruptly unfolded before Roger's eyes.
He was like a giant eagle, soaring above the gray sky.
Eagle eyes look down on the earth.
But I saw that on the endless reddish-brown earth, a white skeleton with a forest burrowed out of the ground.
Negative energy is poured out regardless of the cost.
From the lowest-level skeleton soldiers and ghost guards, to the higher-level corpse servants and bone wrestlers, to skeleton shooters, grey knights, wanderers, and ice ghosts......
On that high wall.
Roger saw a massive bone dragon.
The bone dragon's eyes were full of ghosts, and he stared indifferently ahead.
Behind it, there is a dense army of bone dragons!
On the back of a bone dragon.
A man who was completely hidden in the massive armor raised the cross-sword in his hand.
In a flash!
The haze rolled upside down.
"We're running out of time."
"Only the dead can cross the line alive!"
His voice was indescribably lonely.
The voice fell.
Hundreds of skulldragons fluttered their wings and glided off the walls.
The picture suddenly closed.
The last of the last.
Roger only saw a dark cloud hanging over Greystone City.
That cloud.
Something familiar to him.
……
Limestone prepares to go south for war.
This Roger was not surprised.
But the words of the Bone Dragon Knight were deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Only the dead can cross the line alive."
He couldn't help but meditate for a while.
Thinking of the information that Alain had given him about the Serra River, his brow furrowed deeply.
After a while, he shook his head and said to himself:
"I don't believe that's the truth."
His gaze became firm again.
I have to admit it.
This divination had a big impact on Roger.
Bone Dragon Knight's words are not mentioned for the time being.
The dark cloud over Greystone City was the one he had seen when he had been defeating the Corpse Demon.
It's an oppressive feeling.
You can't go wrong.
"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings......"
He couldn't help but rub his temples.
On the data bar, rows of information light up.
……
"You sense the coming of war."
"Do you want to activate the campaign mode?"
……
"Campaign mode?"
Roger carefully read the introduction, and then chose to confirm without hesitation.
……
"Beginner Campaign Mode Activated"
"Please choose your side: Graystone/Twilight"
"Current Faction: Twilight"
"Hint: All hostile forces belonging to Greystone City will become your enemies in the campaign mode, and by killing these enemies, you will not only earn double the benefits, but also earn a large number of honor points."
"Hint: You can now exchange Honor Points for items in the Basic Campaign Shop."
……
The army of necromancers who are about to go south are destined to be the enemy of all.
Roger couldn't have thrown himself into the arms of the dead.
At first, he thought the campaign mode was the icing on the cake.
But when he opened the primary campaign shop.
This idea was completely overturned.
On the shelves on the top floor of the store.
A blue card slot was emitting a faint glow.
……
"Career Expansion Slot"
"Description: You can use it to include any class other than Mage in your class mod."
"Cost: 100,000 Honor Points"
……
After reading this.
Roger has already started to care about how many honor points 1 necromancer gives!
As for double gains.
He looked at the "Malicious Targeting Coupon" in the Milestone system.
I couldn't help but show a little apology.
……
Early the next morning.
Roger arrives at the Lord's Mansion early.
However, Freya told her that Alain had gone to the "Autumn Wind Glade" in the northwest of the manor overnight.
It is said that signs of activity of the Necronomicon army were found in the northwest.
Paramount Manor is a gentle terrain.
There's nothing easy to defend and hard to attack.
Once the necromantic army marching south from Limestone City has managed to break through the defensive line that Alan had placed in the Autumnwind Glades.
It is only a matter of time before it sweeps through the south.
……
"The situation is actually very serious."
Freya spread out a tactical map and quickly explained:
"Even if the lord can hold the Autumn Wind Woodland."
"The two wings of the Knight's Avenue and the Water Ghost Forest are also likely to encounter a rapid march to break through."
"We have a very mature intelligence network, so the likelihood of large-scale infiltration is low; But judging from the current garrison of the manor, even if it is facing a small-scale infiltration, it is a bit stretched......"
Roger listened attentively, nodding from time to time.
"What's more troublesome—"
Freya quickly brushed her hair back:
"I just got the news."
"The Flying Circus will arrive in Dawn tonight."
"In order to buy more time for the lord, we can only let them in. So ......"
Roger put his hands on the map and said calmly:
"I know what to do."
"Don't worry."
"Let them come, and everything will be fine."
Freya looked up at Roger's determined eyes and hummed softly.
The expression that had been tense finally relaxed a little.
……
After returning to Senluo Farm.
Roger quickly split the horned demons into two groups.
One group guarded the water ghost forest.
The other group went to the vicinity of Knight's Boulevard.
If they find traces of the army of necromancy, they will report back as soon as possible.
With the strength of the horned demon, as long as you don't encounter the bone dragon, it is always not a problem to come back alive.
As for Roger himself.
In order to be able to solve the problem in a timely manner.
That afternoon, he quietly moved into the guest room of the Lord's Palace.
……
In the evening.
Brightly lit carriages slowly drove into the territory of Paramount Manor.
Both sides of the road.
Unsuspecting citizens are in the middle of the road to welcome them.
on an elongated carriage.
Clowns in plaid clothes grimace at the children.
The children rushed over with cheers, stopping the carriage and grabbing him by the ankles.
The clown dodged in embarrassment.
In the end, he couldn't resist the children's troubles, and took out a large handful of orange candy from his pocket.
Some of the children dispersed.
The rest of the children got orange candy, but they still persevered.
The clown suddenly screamed.
Then it exploded with a bang and turned into patches of colored bars!
The crowd was stupefied.
But not for a while.
A funny, familiar face peeked out of the carriage.
The man was holding countless orange candies in both hands, and he smiled enthusiastically.
The people, who had been hesitating to wait and see, immediately cheered and followed.
Both sides of the carriage.
The flow of people is increasing.
They followed all the way to a clearing outside of Dawn.
Circus crews began setting up tents, haunted houses, and other structures.
Those who had a little leisure showed one or two hands under the coaxing of the onlookers, causing everyone to exclaim.
One of the most eye-catching is a middle-aged strong man with bronzed skin!
The stunt he performed was so amazing that it was called "Invulnerability"!
But I saw a tight open space surrounded by me.
In the midst of everyone's horrified gaze, one of his companions held a thin sword and stabbed straight into his naked chest!
Buzz.
The blade of the rapier twisted out a half-circle of extremely exaggerated arcs under the tremendous pressure.
But the tip of the sword against the man's chest never allowed an inch!
"What a magic trick!"
"That's awesome."
"Eh, isn't this the same martial artist who came to challenge Master Roger last time? What is it called? Matthew, is that Mr. Matthew? ”
The crowd of onlookers applauded enthusiastically and talked a lot.
They also want to see more projects.
But there was already a staff member who put up a bulletin board next to it.
And told everyone that today is just a trial performance, and the night after tomorrow will be the main event.
People shouted for a while.
Under the repeated persuasion of the staff, it slowly dispersed.
The bronzed-skinned middle-aged man silently packed up his props.
Suddenly.
He jerked his head up at the crowd.
It's a pity.
In the bustling crowd, he saw nothing.
……
"Matthew (Human/Elite) Despicable Disciple LV34"
"Martial Arts: Bell Jar ......"
……
Hidden in the shadows, Roger silently canceled the Qi Lookout technique.
Matthew's perception is good.
Roger didn't have much information to get out of the shadows.
However, the other party's occupation still surprised Roger a little.
……
Despicable disciples.
This is a very rare martial artist subclass.
For most martial artists, a despicable disciple is equivalent to a mortal enemy.
The peculiarity of this profession is that it constantly jumps between "going out of the house" and "learning from a teacher".
When 1 despicable disciple successfully worships 1 martial arts school.
All aspects of his stats will be slightly improved.
And when he learns all the mysteries of this martial arts school, he often chooses to defect immediately.
In the process.
Despicable disciples will gain a great increase in strength!
If a despicable disciple succeeds in "killing the teacher" when he goes out of the sect, then he will get a transformation similar to that of other professions!
This profession is aptly named, and it is despicable.
Its strength is often determined by the number of successful defections and the martial arts of the school it has attended.
"It's not easy to find one or two martial arts schools these days, right?"
Roger thought to himself:
"This guy's strength shouldn't be too exaggerated."
"But this bell jar looks like there's something."
Between thoughts.
He went away with the flow of people.
……
Night.
Roger was in the guest room of the Lord's Mansion, continuing to practice the Qi and Life Harmony that had been interrupted last night.
This time it went very well.
……
"Harmony of Qi and Destiny Complete"
"You have become the owner of the Crescent Jade Pendant"
"You've got a new specialization – get a head start"
……
Feel the joyful flow of qi in your body.
Roger almost couldn't resist the urge to let out a long howl.
Although the Crescent Moon Jade Pendant simply comes with a specialty.
But the effect is very useful.
……
"Get the Upper Strike (3rd Ring Specialty): +10 first strike in each encounter"
……
This means that in sudden encounters, Roger can always react faster than his opponent!
Cooperate with the enemy aircraft to defeat the first and ten years of a sword.
It is equivalent to becoming small invincible to medium invincible.
Besides.
This round of qi and fate harmony also brought new benefits to Roger.
……
"After the polishing of the Crescent Moon Jade Pendant, you are more familiar with 'Qi'."
"You have successfully mastered 'qi'."
……
"Finally changed from comprehension level to mastery level!"
Roger was a little excited.
The improvement of the ability to control qi means that all qi-related martial arts and specialties will be slightly improved.
And so it goes.
His strength will be improved a lot.
Sure enough.
There was a new reaction on the data bar immediately.
……
"Your Qigong Master's Specialty: Grandmaster's Angry Eyes have been boosted, and in addition to the deterrent effect, your vision will have substantial damage!"
……
Roger couldn't help but think about it, and used a large amount of 'qi' to urge the grandmaster to look angry!
In a flash.
His eyes shot out two blue-gray rays of light!
It's like two searchlights.
The two rays of light were so thick that Roger shook his head, and they followed as they wandered around the room.
At first, Roger just thought it was funny.
But after a long time, he felt that something was wrong.
The two searchlights swept around the room.
I broke a lot of furniture!
"Why can't you turn it off?"
Roger was a little puzzled.
……
"Hint: The effect of Grandmaster's Rage is still improving, and given that your control of Qi is still jerky, it will take some time to stabilize."
"Time Remaining: 23 hours 56 minutes"
……
"This ......"
Roger snapped his eyes shut.
It's okay, it's okay.
The official performance of the Flying Circus is the night after tomorrow.
There shouldn't be any problem with timing.
So he patiently hid in the guest room, his eyes closed.
This time he was honest and didn't dare to play any tricks.
However, the next evening.
Freya hurried over and knocked on the door:
"Master Roger! I just got the news that Matthew went to Senluo Farm in the afternoon. ”
"He wounded Levi!"
"He's looking for you all over the manor right now......"
Roger jumped up from the floor with a thud.
Looking at the two unbridled searchlights, his brow tightened for a moment, and then slowly relaxed.
"I see."
"You wait for me."
Finish these two sentences calmly.
Roger didn't hesitate any longer.
He reached out and grabbed a piece of pitch-black cloth and slowly covered his eyes.
No way.
It is necessary to prevent accidental injury to others.
The next moment.
He slammed the door open.
data bar.
……
"You redeemed 1 stupid bird first flight ticket, do you use it?"
……
"You've learned Blind Fight (Level 35 Specialty)"
……
"Detected that you have 'Listening Position', your Blind Fight level has increased by one level."
……
Outside the room.
Roger blindfolded and asked Freya, whose face was full of surprise:
"Where's Matthew?"
……
