In the small yard of Roger's house.

Next to an old table and chair from a grocery store.

Roger handed Dorothy a cup of freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea.

"Thank you."

Looking at the chrysanthemum petals floating in the mud pot, Dorothy's eyes were a little sad:

"In the entire Tongma Town, you are the only one who likes to make tea with chrysanthemums."

"It's a strange feeling."

"It's like the last time I visited your house was ten years ago."

Roger also poured himself a cup of chrysanthemum tea and said:

"To be correct, it was two years ago."

That was when Kane was still around.

Dorothy, as Kane's follower, is naturally the latter wherever he goes.

At that time, she hadn't grown into the long-legged beauty she is now, and her personality was also very shy, hiding behind her brother every time they met, watching Kane and Roger talk.

She and Roger usually don't talk more than ten sentences.

After Kane's death, Dorothy trained herself very hard, and gradually lost contact with the frog hunters who commuted to and from work as civil servants.

……

Dorothy smiled silently.

The warm chrysanthemum tea diluted the feelings of nostalgia and sadness, and the girl sorted out her thoughts and talked about the purpose of this trip-

The Lord's Mansion has officially approved this crusade against the Corpse Demon.

This means that their actions can be supported by the entire town of Tongma.

This is undoubtedly good news.

More importantly, the Lord's Mansion decided to take the opportunity of this crusade against the Corpse Demon to reorganize the "Monster Raid Team"!

Many of the town's young adventurers are gearing up to find out how to join.

"The Raiders."

"Well, it's a good time."

Roger responded not too perfunctorily.

He didn't care about these things, but he knew it was important to Dorothy.

Killing the corpse demon and rebuilding the crusade team is Dorothy's wish.

You must know that after Kane's death, the crusade team that was originally the captain of the team was also disbanded; There is only one garrison left in Tongma Town that is responsible for daily duty.

Anyone who wants to go out to fight monsters will be reprimanded, on the grounds that the raiding team has been disbanded, so why provoke those terrible monsters?

And now, with the aftermath of Roger's killing of the Red Tide corpse, the Lord's Mansion has the courage to put forward a plan to reorganize the crusade team, which is naturally not a whim.

The activity of monsters has seriously affected the survival and development of Tongma Town.

No aspiring lord would just sit still.

"The timing is good, of course, but it's not critical."

Dorothy took a sip of tea, and her gray thighs were staggered:

"The key is to see if we can succeed in killing the corpse demon."

Roger nodded.

Reorganize the raiding team, and there will definitely be some discordant voices in the town.

Even if it is suppressed now, once there is a setback in the crusade against the corpse demon, those voices will soon resurface.

After all, no matter what era, there are a group of short-sighted people who only care about their own one-third of an acre.

"This is the information provided by the Lord's Mansion on the corpse demon."

"This is the main list of those who will participate in the crusade."

Dorothy placed two documents on the table:

"The crusade is tentatively scheduled for two days, and I'll let you know the details."

"As for the Lord's Palace, I hope you will be the ...... this time"

Roger grabbed the intelligence and the list, shook his head and said:

"No, I don't. It's good for you to be the captain. ”

"Don't worry, I'll cooperate with you."

Dorothy hesitated, but she also knew a little bit about Roger's character, and gave up after a few words of persuasion.

Roger opened the main list and glanced at it.

Most of the adventurers on the list are familiar faces.

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer adventurers from the plateau, and Tongma Town is actually facing the dilemma of lack of fresh blood.

If you don't clean up the surrounding monsters, I'm afraid this vicious circle will become more and more serious.

One day, the monsters will invade the town of Tongma.

After an of blood and fire.

The place lay in ruins.

This kind of script is not uncommon in Mystra.

……

"Huh? Have an adventurer from the Second Ring? ”

When looking at the main information, Roger was slightly surprised.

He found an adventurer with a level 10 or higher!

This is definitely a very rare existence in Tongma Town.

"It's Uncle Terry."

Dorothy said, "You've seen it. He came from Gem City three years ago, and his strength had plummeted due to his injury, so he had to recuperate in the town. ”

"Didn't the Lord's Mansion look for medicine for him to treat his injuries a while ago? Now he has regained his strength and is a level 11 warrior. ”

Roger nodded:

"With a second-ring adventurer in charge, it's no wonder that the Lord's Mansion dares to reorganize the raiding team."

Dorothy suddenly became a little shy, and she struggled for a while before whispering:

"Actually, it's two ......"

Roger raised his eyes, a little surprised:

"You're second ring, too?"

He didn't have the habit of looking at his friends with the Qi Technique, so he didn't notice this.

Dorothy nodded proudly.

"That's good."

Roger praised.

Kane would be happy if he knew that his sister had surpassed him, right?

As he thought so, Dorothy asked:

"Roger, can I know what your strength is?"

Roger thought for a moment:

"A little better than you."

Dorothy was a little unconvinced:

"Really?"

In her perception, Roger is an LV8 adventurer.

Roger earnestly explained:

"Don't worry, it's just a little bit."

……

After seeing off Dorothy, who suddenly wanted to compete, Roger had a good meal and then went back to the house to sleep.

Late at night.

In the quiet courtyard, a little candlelight is lit.

With "shimmer vision", Roger can see everything in the yard clearly.

At this moment, he was holding a long, narrow knife in both hands.

In the middle of the courtyard, a wooden dummy for training has already been placed.

The dummy was scarred and apparently reused.

Roger stood there motionless with a knife in hand.

If you don't distinguish carefully, you may mistake him for one of the dummies.

A paulownia leaf falls.

The blocked qi in his body suddenly burst out.

Sou!

An arc-shaped reddish knife light streaked across the night.

Burst!

Puff puff puff......

A succession of dull sounds rang out.

On the ground of the courtyard, in addition to the paulownia leaves, there are three more pieces of wood!

"It's amazing."

"With one knife, I cut off three dummies, just like cutting tofu, no, cutting air!"

"There is no resistance at all."

Roger stroked the Akatsuki knife lovingly.

The blade is as good as new and the blade is stable.

Appears unscathed.

"It's a bit of a bully to use secret techniques on dummies and build momentum."

"But it's a really strong move."

Roger was still reminiscing about what he had just felt.

This move is the first form of the "Nineteen Moon Flower" in the Hidden Technique of Heroes.

This trick is to give full play to the momentum.

In many cases, the accumulation of potential energy brings a great bonus to Xia Yin's moves; However, in the final collision, the power will be unloaded by various factors, and the final effect may be greatly reduced.

But with this trick, this will not be the case.

Roger knew that even if it looked like the most ordinary accelerated arc slash, the bonuses from the Hidden Skill made it impossible to ignore.

This may be the strongest move he's ever mastered!

"There is no need to practice the cost, and after learning it, it will be automatically mastered, which is the most powerful part of the secret technique."

Roger's sense of security was one more point.

……
