……

"You killed Noo (Human Cursed Priest/Transcendent/Elite)"

"You have gained 60 XP and 216 Chivalry."

……

"You have gained a Power Shard*9"

"Accumulated Power Fragments: 24"

……

There aren't many relics of Noou.

Except for the precious glittering dagger.

There were only a few chains with intricate patterns, two books and a brooch.

The effect of the chain is hard to describe.

……

"Noou's Chain of Bondage (Strange Weapon/Extraordinary)"

"Rating: SS"

"Attribute: CON -1/Perception +1"

"Special Effect 1: Increases Curse Resistance by 50%"

"Effect 2: The pain you perceive will be converted into 200% pleasure"

"Effect 3: Increases your curse release speed by 200%"

……

Obviously.

It's an artifact that curses the priests—

In the previous encounter, Roger wondered why Noo's curse was lost as quickly as a spell.

Now it seems.

It's all thanks to these chains!

At first glance.

Roger thought it was a piece of rubbish.

The only thing he can look up to is "+50% Curse Resistance".

In the case of the Magic Immunity.

The strange and unpredictable curse system has become a rare potential for Roger.

This angle is indispensable.

"Then again."

"It's not useless."

"There should also be a use case for turning pain into pleasure."

Roger thought about it.

I put the chains away.

……

The rest of the stuff is a bit lackluster.

The two books that Noo carries with him are The Withered Scriptures and The Legend of the Damned.

The former is the doctrine of the King of the Blight.

It records several rituals, including the most evil of all, the "Holy Sacrifice", a horrific ritual in which a living person is used to complete the sacrifice and the believers share it on the spot.

The blighted cultists who carried the "Communion Fruit of the Blight King" had just undergone such a ritual!

This group of cultists are real madmen, murderers, and cannibals.

It's no wonder that killing Noo Roger can earn so many chivalrous points.

The latter is the inauguration information of the "cursed priests".

When a relevant prompt is lit up on the data bar.

Roger refused without thinking about it.

in this world.

The power of the "curse" is too weird, not only hurting others and hurting oneself, but also has many additional side effects.

It's not eligible to fit into his class system.

And the last brooch looked a little sloppy.

The pattern on the brooch is a bit like a rampage of thorns-

In short, it's a large cluster of unknown plants.

……

"The Blight King's Believer Brooch: You have gained the Blight King's gaze"

……

"Kind of like Ikadore's Believer Badge."

"Are these evil gods all produced on an assembly line?"

Roger couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Pack up the loot.

He quickly pulled up the data column and flipped through the records related to the 10th level in a row.

In order to dissolve Noo's curse.

Roger's level has been increased to LV43.

In the process.

His strength has been strengthened slightly.

2 free stat points and a lot of skill points aside.

The first is expertise.

Due to the level 35 specialty "Blind Fight", Roger has already learned it in advance.

So this time he got only one new specialty.

……

"Tempest Kombat (4 Ring Specialty): When you use a Hidden Weapon, your Attack Speed is increased by 60%."

……

It's a descriptive but solid specialty.

"Akatsuki (Transcendental)" is the most intuitive beneficiary.

The extra attack speed doesn't just mean that you can deal more damage faster.

It can also make the superposition of knife intent faster.

This greatly enhances the power of the sword.

……

The second is skills.

The two skills that Roger acquires at levels 36 and 40 are "Smell People" and "Escape".

……

"Smell people: You have a certain probability of remembering a person's scent. Once you remember it, no matter what he has become, you will be able to recognize him in the vast sea of people."

……

"Escape: You have mastered the art of escaping from restraint devices such as torture instruments, bindings, mechanical (magical) locks, dungeons, prisons, etc., or obstacles."

……

Both of these skills are useful.

The former can be an insurance policy in addition to transcendent perception!

Especially if someone can block out transcendent perception.

Smell could be another breakthrough.

And the latter is a necessary skill for professions such as wanderers.

With this skill.

Roger can try more daring poses -

In specific circumstances.

He can also make a false surrender to gain more room to maneuver.

For both skills.

Roger lost 100 skill points each.

In the future, if necessary, you can invest more.

……

Furthermore.

Roger, who has reached level 40+, also received his fifth exclusive weapon.

The relevant drawings have been unlocked.

It is not complicated in terms of style, and I believe that it will be built soon with the efforts of the younger brothers in the logistics group.

When the time comes, you'll be able to unlock new secret skills.

Generally.

It's still a bit of a small loss to hand over this level 10 experience.

But in the face of a vicious curse.

Roger had no other choice either.

Again.

The significance of hoarding experience lies in the ability to turn things around when faced with similar unexpected situations.

Although the immediate harvest is not ideal.

But from the point of view of hunting.

It's almost time to hand over this level 10 experience.

The reason is simple.

The average level of monsters in the southern graveyards is 45+.

The Transcendence Rate and Elite Rate have also been greatly increased.

Continuing to hold a class level of 33 will severely affect the efficiency of hunting.

Roger didn't hoard experience for the sake of hoarding experience.

All of his actions are the result of comprehensive consideration.

This has been the case from the very beginning.

In the beginning, I didn't upgrade because it wasn't necessary-

Tongma Town and Yuntai Mountain are relatively safe;

At that time, what restricted his hunting efficiency was the reproduction rate of the Demon Explosion Frog;

At the same time, he was not sure if there was a steady population of demonic blast frogs elsewhere.

But as he walked out of Tongma Town.

Things are starting to change.

With Roger's hole cards more and more.

He will start to think about finding a "balance" between preserving experience and keeping hunting efficient.

And in the late stage.

When he has unlimited hole cards and unlimited specialization.

Experience can become dispensable.

Until that time.

He's probably going to stop hoarding experience altogether.

Of course.

For now, these are unknowns.

There is still a lot to be done step by step.

……

Get out of the carriage.

Roger hurried in the direction of the farm.

Far away.

He saw a large crowd of blighters barricading outside the storehouse.

The people of the farm had retreated to the gate.

Roger saw this.

I grabbed a few grenades and smashed them far away!

But see those grenades draw a graceful parabola in the air.

Separated by a distance of nearly half a kilometer.

Precisely landed on a blighted cultist.

A violent explosion suddenly rang out.

One after the other.

The terrifying cryogen spreads.

The people in the center were instantly frozen into ice sculptures!

This is Roger's "Frost Grenade" made with his Ammo Expert ability!

It has a very strong small-scale control effect.

Not much.

The blighters were incapacitated.

There was a crowd behind the warehouse gate.

The people on the farm seem to want to kill it.

At that moment, Roger yelled:

"Hold the gates!"

"I'll take care of these people!"

The next second.

Mori Leng's knife light flashed quickly.

The cultists' heads began to fall like dumplings!

……

"You killed 1 Blight, for a total of 86 Blighters."

……

"You have obtained Power Fragments*2, for a total of 103 Power Fragments."

……

And among these cultists who were quickly executed by Roger.

There is also an elite template of "Blighted Nun".

She has high resistance.

So resist for an extra second or two.

But under Roger's ruthless and ruthless pursuit.

The nun with a good face also obediently surrendered her life.

……

"You killed the Blight Nun (Human/Elite)"

"The Killing Order reward has been successful, and you have gained the Withered Nun's specialty - excellent ventriloquism."

……

"Excellent ventriloquism: You have a very dexterous tongue and an extremely adaptable mouth.

You can imitate the sounds of all kinds of animals."

……

After purging all the cultists.

"Gan!"

"Strange expertise has been added again."

Roger frowned and kicked the withered nun in the head.

Under the gaze of real vision, it was hard for him not to notice that her tongue did look dexterous.

"It makes sense for a nun to be ventriloquist."

When he thought so.

The few adventurers on the farm with weapons in hand walked out with wary faces.

Look at the miserable situation outside the warehouse.

The expressions on the faces of the men changed continuously.

Don't wait for them to speak.

Roger put away his weapon, crossed his hands on his hips, and said casually:

"Relax, I'm not your enemy."

"I'm just a passing traveler."

The people on the farm were still a little wary.

It was at this time.

A little boy boldly said:

"He was the one who saved me and my brother!"

This time.

The men's faces were a little better.

One of the dark-faced men in the prime of life put down his long sword and took two steps forward:

"Thank you very much for your help."

Roger shook his head and asked bluntly:

"It's a gesture."

"I just want to ask one thing, do you know the strongholds of these cultists?"

The black-faced man hesitated:

"What do you want to do?"

Roger patiently explained:

"Not long ago, I formed a bond with these cultists."

"So I want to know where they are, and I'll find their leader to settle the matter."

The black-faced man said solemnly:

"You'd better not do that!"

"These cultists are all cannibalistic villains who don't blink an eye, and they don't make sense at all, especially their leader......"

Roger interrupted with a smile:

"Don't worry, I have my own solution."

"All you have to do is tell me where it is."

The black-faced man looked Roger up and down again, and then said:

"Just a short distance to the west......"

……

A day and a half later.

Deep in the fog of the southern cemetery.

A narrow canyon appeared before Roger's eyes.

……

"Hint: You discovered Little Thorn Valley"

……

Outside the canyon.

Quite a few men in yellow were lying on the ground, gnawing on the carcasses of elk or goats.

It just so happened to be at this time.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove out of the canyon checkpoint.

A breeze blows.

A corner of the carriage curtain peeked.

……

"Transcendent Perception: You have discovered the 5th Patriarch of the Blight Order, 'Vampire Witch' Edharine (Transcendent Mage/Elite)"

……

Half a minute later.

Roger was hiding on the side of the road and grabbed the blue dagger in his hand with great force.

All of a sudden.

And he appeared in the carriage!

……
