Chapter 52: Soberness

[You have taken 300 Cold Damage (from Arctic Oil)]

[You lose one-third of your total health, you are frozen]

[You're in a coma]

……

[You have come into contact with metal products, induced metal allergies (weak), and all tests get +1 unfavorable]

[You have been exposed to multiple metal products, induced metal allergies (mild), and all tests have +2 unfavorable]

After Roland woke up, a piece of system news appeared in front of him and gave him a general idea of the situation.

Metal allergies?

Roland frowned slightly.

He did feel a faint discomfort running over his body. Roland felt weak in his limbs and his head was dizzy, as if he had a cold and fever.

Roland shook his head a little uncomfortably, but he heard the crisp sound of chains colliding, and an indescribable heaviness came from his body.

Roland was slightly stunned, looked down, and found that he was wearing heavy metal chains.

Four heavy, cold metal chains wrapped around Roland's wrists and ankles several times before being chained to the wall behind him.

The black robe on his body was still well worn, and nothing was lost on his body, only the power ring on his left hand disappeared.

Roland raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

What a ...... Enough to know the enemy of the crow.

Maybe she's well hidden, but the Arctic Oil has revealed her presence.

In the game, the Arctic Oil is considered a purple rare consumable that can be used to inflict 15-30 bonus Cold damage on weapons, or as an Alchemy Blast, which deals 150 Cold Area damage. Bullet use. Want to make it. Only alchemists who have reached the Bubedi rank are recognized.

And the proof of the red-level alchemist is to refine at least one Philosopher's Stone, which is often referred to as Aum's blood. An alchemist who has the Philosopher's Stone is often able to do things outside of the usual sense of alchemy. This is also the only way to obtain the combat power above the Temple of Truth without awakening the origin, other than receiving the blood of Dusk.

Roughly speaking. There are twelve types of philosopher's stones: calcination, liquefaction, separation, combination, corruption, condensation, addition, sublimation, fermentation, promotion, multiplication, and projection. Much more monotonous than the near-infinite origins, the beauty of alchemists is that they can hold multiple philosopher's stones.

And the creation of the oil of extreme cold. It is a by-product of an alchemist who has both liquefied and condensed philosopher's stones.

As far as Roland knew, there were only three red-level alchemists in this era. And there is only one person who has both liquefied and condensed philosopher's stones, and that is the professor.

Then, the answer is about to come out -

There are not many people who know the professor, know that Roland is a crow, understand the weakness of a crow, and have a grudge against Roland. Roland counted carefully, but there were only two people. Excluding Edward, who is already dead, the one left is Farina.

And Roland had indeed heard that Count Orwell fell out with his family because he liked a female druid from a bad background. In the list of rewards for all of Earl Orwell's quests, the most popular among players is [Unfortunate Lover's Green Vine Leaf], which is one of the few items that can adjust the drop rate of items. It reads: "A token of a pair of poor and unfortunate people." Maybe you'll be lucky with it? ”

The purpose of this item is that when you carry it, it will reduce the drop rate of cosmetic items and increase the drop chance of epistolary items. As one of the main quest triggers in the Land of the Gods, the importance of Epistle drops is self-evident.

Roland was the same as Farina's Diary, which was dropped when he defeated Farina. Looking back now, it is self-evident who Count Orwell's lover was.

That's when Roland realized that he seemed to have missed a mission.

If only he had known about it earlier, he would have given Farina's diary to Count Orwell. What events might be triggered...... But it's too late to know about it now. in every sense.

A cold glint flashed in Roland's eyes.

For the sake of the mentor, Roland has already spared Falina once.

By now, all the people Roland had killed, whether it was the Sick Village, the City of Fortune, or the White Tower, were people who would have died sooner or later in the past. And because of these things that Roland has done. More than tens of thousands of people had survived before the Plague Restoration began, and there will be even more after the Plague Restoration begins.

The light is the White Tower. Twenty percent of wizards and nearly all innocents managed to escape from the Templars' crotches. The Templars did not expend much of their strength in the battle with wizards, which could be used against the Underworld.

Roland is his own person. There is a very clear distinction between who is an irresolvable mortal enemy and who is a temporary enemy.

Sooner or later, though, the Templars would become an obstacle for Roland. But after all the gods have fallen, most of them will become the guardians of the Sages in turn.

In the cataclysm of the gods of the Plague Restoration, the Priests and Templars were the ones who survived the most.

Perhaps the war against the White Tower shook their faith, or they simply wanted to survive, but in short, more than eighty percent of the believers managed to survive, and less than one percent of the eighty percent of the people were diehards, forty percent of the ordinary people who gave up their scepters and chose other professions, and almost all of the rest became priests of the saints.

The number of people in the world of Faens is not rich in the first place, so Roland naturally will not pit them to death.

It was enough for them to ignore Bansa and Titan's situation for the time being. It's just the right time for them to deal with the underground race first.

These outcasts, who have the blood of Dusk in their veins, are absolute enemies in Roland's eyes, with an average of one out of every three Underworlders in Faith Dusk. After the Plague Resurgence, when the player crusades against Twilight, the mobs are basically made up of this group of guys except for the Twilight Followers.

While allowing the Underworlders to stumble on the Templars, it is just the right time for the Knights to weaken the Underworldrs.

Anyway, with the support of Fararo in his heyday, plus the support of the rear of the temples of all parties, it must be the underground people who fail in the end. After all, the number of people underneath is an intractable flaw.

It doesn't matter if a group of Templars die. Deal with these guys first, and it will be much easier to face the Ring of the South Wind or the Ring of Ashes in the future.

It's better than facing the Ring of Ashes as soon as you come up. The demons of the Exploding Maniac and the Ring of the South Wind are much better.

Just as the floods induced by Roland's previous detonation of the Tirans Dam were easily suppressed, how to detonate some potential destabilizing factors in the right place and at the right time is a science. As the Mentor's Elect, Roland and Farina's main idea is to kill some people to save some people - which is their obligation.

The difference between Falina and Roland is that she sees her mentor too great and too intimate.

A mentor is a mentor after all. He is a saint, not a false god. As the personification of rules, even if the guru has personality, there is no emotion.

Falina mistook that. She recklessly uses the most efficient means to nurture the plague, slaughtering those who have been marked by her mentor with the most efficient killing of innocents, but she never hides her actions.

With her subconscious thoughts, in the face of the crusade against the crow, the mentor would definitely protect her. In this way, as long as you meet the requirements of the guru, no one can hurt yourself.

Poor Farina, she was clearly wrong.

Sages and false gods think differently. When Falina kills nobles who have an affair with Twilight or who adopt strategies in Twilight's favor, she takes her actions as the selfish desires of her mentor. After all, she couldn't understand the dangers of the Dusk Species, so she naturally regarded eradicating Dusk as a mentor's hobby rather than a natural duty.

Therefore, Falina never covered up her crimes. In the end, as expected, he was defeated by the brave as the demon king, and returned a clean peace to the world. Roland officially took Falina as a lesson from the past, and only then did Orlando, a fictitious character who was specially used to carry the hatred involved in Roland.

And Falina has always acted unscrupulously, which is why she ......

…… Wait a minute.

Roland frowned, realizing that things were not pure.

With Farina's character, there's no way she's going to put Roland here and just don't move. She would kill Roland as soon as she captured him, and then think about the rest.

Decisive and unscrupulous—in a sense, Farina is indeed more suitable for this pope than Roland.

But Roland is not dead now......

"Are you awake?"

At this moment, an old voice came from Roland.

Roland suddenly became vigilant.

He remembered that this voice was the one that came from behind him when he was sneak attacked! (To be continued.) )
