Chapter 184: The Power of the Key (4k)
"Is it news from Alina? Judging by your face, she wouldn't be angry, would she? ”
Alice, sitting cross-legged on the bed, looked at Rogers' expression and complained sympathetically about Rogers' position.
"Ah, she's just asking me how I'm doing."
Rogers coughed lightly, smeared the paper with the same print, and briefly recounted the situation of the day, which focused on the development of the [Enlightenment Bonus].
Aliana's response was quick, congratulating Rogus on his progress, and then moving on to an analysis of the situation and the study of space confinement spells.
"Her desire to control is so strong, you are obviously so tired, and you are still so harsh, the climate here is too arid, do you want to eat a fruit to moisten your mouth?"
Alice watched as Rogers sat on the stone table beside the bed, contemplating the way he looked at his reply, and slowly came to Rogers' side, pulling out a few well-preserved apples from the backpack on his lap.
[Is Alice shushing and asking for warmth next to you, trying to make me look like an annoying elf?] 】
Rogers raised his eyes to look at Alice, who was slightly frowning beside him, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his eyes revealed concern and thoughtfulness, and then at the abrupt question on the paper, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh.
"She's horrible......" Alice pursed her lips and said in a complicated tone.
"Well, you two...... It's not a long time to delay the matter, let's discuss the next, but I know that there are nearly twenty people of the Discord Abyss madmen hiding in the silver rank in the city.
"And there is no guarantee that there are no gold-level powerhouses hiding here through the secret rites, although once they make a move, they will trigger the vigilance and hunt of the local high lords and the pantheon, but the madman is likely to ignore this.
"So the best way is to create a confrontation between the bottomless pit and the abyss of disorder, and make this confrontation fierce and fast.
"Once that has the effect of weakening and dividing the madmen, we need to act quickly and end this event before the local lords and pantheon can react......"
Rogers explained to Alice as he began to write on the same sheet of paper.
He had wanted to be as perfect as possible, but the perfect plan could not be realized in the end, and no matter what, he had to make some fire in the end.
However, during this period of delay and recuperation, while allowing him to absorb enough information and improve a lot of strength, he also unexpectedly inserted the old man Jingam into it, which can be regarded as a little more protection.
As the night deepened, the stars scattered in the vast and boundless night shone with different brightness, some bright as diamonds, others soft and hazy.
A few palm trees reflect the splendor of the starry sky, and in the shadows, the wind blows the leaves, making a subtle and loud sound.
On the stone bench in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, an old man and a teenager were sitting quietly together, staring at the rectangular pool made of rough sandstone in front of them.
The edge of the pool is covered with lush greenery, reflecting the clear water and creating fine ripples in the breeze.
A few tall trees stand beside them, their treetops casting dappled shadows through the star-dotted night in the sky.
The old man's beard was white, his forehead was full of wrinkles, his eyes were deep and calm, and he smiled from time to time, telling about what he had seen and heard in the past.
"So that Arkan looks like he is in a big position, but in the end he didn't even lift Rogers' hair, did he?"
Dressed in a brown robe, Thackraison listened to Urentin's story and asked with a smile.
Urentin bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and then followed up with a lot of appreciation and admiration for Rutgers, and bluntly said that the other party had the merits of being called a great sage.
"Of course, he is my only best friend, the only person in the world who can stand by my side, and his intelligence and merit come from himself, and that fool is lucky to provoke him, but he was only affected by the catastrophe and died."
Thackreson listened carefully to Urentin's compliment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile proudly, as if Urentin was complimenting him.
Just smiling and smiling, his eyes slowly flashed with memories and loneliness.
In his on-and-off correspondence with Rogers, Rogers simply kept telling him not to hurt civilians too much, asking him about his situation, and reminding him to stay safe.
After the crowning ceremony, the two of them finally embarked on a completely opposite fork in the road, and could no longer laugh at the daily trivialities and carefree play as before.
Ulentine looked at Sacressen's ten fingers together, bowed his head in contemplation, and consciously quieted down, and at the same time kept praying in his heart to the Triple Great.
The young man sitting beside him looked quite gentle, and his body did not exude the slightest dangerous aura, but after all, he was the embodiment of the world-destroying calamity.
Moreover, there is a pack of crazy wolves in this mansion, and if it is not suppressed by the head wolf of Sacresen, there is a possibility that the city will be turned into ruins at any time.
Compared to the Paliif volcano standing in the sky, it is more like a crater with boiling magma, and Urentin is like an old man who is cautious and trembling on the side of a steep mountain pass.
While being careful not to fall into the lava, you have to worry about when the lava will burst and erupt.
Bang –
The sound of a heavy object falling on the ground startled Urentin, and he calmed down and looked at it, only to see a woman in a colorful robe wearing small copper rings on her ears, nose, and lips stepping on a black-robed man who was not human.
"This is a bottomless pit bug, he was sneaking around outside the house just now, so I caught it." The woman said hoarsely as she trampled on the corpse under her feet with a look of disgust.
"Brenda, I said, be quiet." Thackraisson raised his gaze with a frown, and issued a warning in a disgusted tone.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Be quiet! In my nearly 30 years of life, I have never been so quiet! Isn't it just a volcano?! Wouldn't it be nice to just let it explode?! Regardless of whether he is a pantheon or a ......"
Brenda snarled her throat, but before she could finish her words, there was a throbbing pain in her chest and abdomen, as if something was stirring wildly inside.
"I don't like to be hunted down by hordes of priests again, and one last time, either give me the Midsummer Temple Tournament or die now."
Thackraison looked calmly at Brenda lying beside the corpse of the Bottomless Pit Cultist, hugging his stomach and whimpering, and said calmly.
Most of the followers of the Discord Abyss have no rules to speak of, and they are basically unable to reason peacefully, and the only effective and direct means of communication is crushing violence.
If it weren't for the fact that there are few Order of Discord in the South whose credo is "only a higher order can lead to higher chaos", and that they must always be on the lookout for and prevent the bottomless pit of liars from stirring up trouble, Thackraisson would not want to use these people to help him in this type of task.
Ulentine caught a glimpse of the madness hidden in Sacresen's seemingly calm eyes, and his heart beat faster.
A madman who is extremely patient is far more terrible than the average madman.
"If Rogers had been by my side, he would have handled it perfectly......" Sacresen said, his expression falling back into memory.
Brenda frothed at the mouth with convulsions, rolled her eyes, and passed out beside the corpse.
"Tell me about the deeds and rumors about my best friend."
He looked sideways at the old man and spoke softly.

[Effect (4): Grants one's own knowledge, skills, and perks to a living creature or a dead thing for a long time. 】
[Note: The fundamental value of the key lies in the things it can open.] 】
Rogers stood by the stone window, facing the morning sun and reading the tip panel in front of him.
This miracle didn't seem to bring him some kind of substantial strength increase, but if it was combined with what he already had, it could transform him in an instant.
Like the previous Oasis miracles, the precision brought by the assistance of [Enlightening Miracles] does not require the help of Alice and Alina at all, and he can now easily complete it alone.
In the future, you can play the role of a god, and you can be more handy, and you don't need to think about the various side effects of instilling sexual blessings.
The list goes on and on, but as the note says, this miracle is a key, and its value lies primarily in what it opens.
"If we inevitably reveal our identities when dealing with the Fire Catastrophe, will the Great Prince be able to find out that you are deliberately avoiding him?"
Alice asked as she stood beside Rogeth with a worried look on her face.
"As long as this incident can be resolved smoothly, only the catastrophe of the wind will remain, and no matter how many worries there are, they will drift away with my ascent to the wind.
"And with that guy's intelligence, maybe he already felt it, but it doesn't matter."
Rogers raised his hand to hold the morning sun in the distance, feeling the vast "vision" brought by the miracle, and replied with a chuckle.
After enjoying a moment, he turned back to Alice and said, "Gather your energy, I have already issued a summons to the disciples around me, and when a message from one of the Jingamms comes to me, it will be time for us to act." ”
As the words fell, he turned and walked out of the dormitory, striding downstairs.
The lobby of the inn was a little dim as it didn't let in much sunlight, and Rogers approached Amidal, who was telling his youngest son and preparing to go out to look for a guest.
"The volcano is about to erupt, why aren't you in a hurry?"
Rogers' gaze swept over Tatua, then toward Amidal.
He was still a little grateful to the family for helping him master the miracle, and he didn't want the next dispute to affect them.
"Every few years someone says that a volcano is about to erupt, and that's been a rumor since I was born, but after all these years, it's still there, and it's not shaken for a minute.
"You don't need to worry, this is just a rumor created by that group of businessmen to receive or sell their goods, for the sake of money, those guys dare to say anything."
Armidal explained the reason for the rumors to Rogers, and took the initiative to reassure Rogus so that he didn't have to worry too much about these things.
"It's true this time, although it may not burn into the city, but just in case, you better prepare to leave earlier."
Rogers looked at Armidal seriously, and used the [Enlightening Miracle] to assist the [Richest Bonus] to select the string called fear in Amidal's heart, and delicately plucked it.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Amidall's forehead, his body trembled slightly, his eyes were confused and frightened, he squirmed his lips and bowed deeply to Rogers: "Thanks for informing!" ”
Looking at Amidal's rapid movement towards the room, Rogers couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of [Enlightening Miracle], if it was before, he would have to use words to make all kinds of incitements, but now, he can directly manipulate the emotions of others.
In the morning, Amidal fled the city of Rawa with his family, and before fleeing, he not only dismissed all the tenants in the hostel, but also constantly lobbied around the city to run away.
Unfortunately, not too many people followed him away, and only a few of the inhabitants looked at him as if they were fake, and followed him out of the city in disbelief.
By noon, a golden glow pierced the sky and spilled over every inch of the desert, shone on the huddled vegetation and sand.
The heat distorted the vision as if flowing in the distance, and the scorching wind carried countless tiny grains of sand back and forth like flickering points of light.
Rogers and Alice stood on the street in front of the hostel, both wearing silver masks and looking out at the magnificent volcano in the distance.
Boom –
A piercing explosion swept through the surroundings like lightning, causing the entire town to fall silent for an instant, and people stopped what they were doing and looked in horror in the direction from which the sound came.
The blast lasted for a short time, but it brought a deep and unsettling sense of oppression, the leaves still vibrating in the aftermath of the explosion, and the dust was stirred up and flying all over the sky.
"The Glory of the Bottomless Pit Shines on !!"
As the shouts came, a prompt box popped up in front of Rogers' eyes one after another.
[Inform! The gods of the Bottomless Pit and the Abyss of Discord cast their eyes on this place in unison! 】
"It's the cultists! Run! ”
A similar roar of panic resounded throughout the city, and both the merchants and the inhabitants did not care much, and immediately began to flee in all directions.
Rogers reached out and pressed the mask on his face tightly, and said to Alice beside him, "Ready, the curtain has risen, and it's time for our show to begin." ”
