The little boy remained unmoved and leaned down towards the ridge of the field.
Roger noticed.
There was a hole in the mud wall below the ridge.
Once you do something extreme.
The child might have gotten in.
So he smiled helplessly and said softly:
"Believe me."
“I’m not a bad person.”

…
"God damn "Thousand Tongues Man"!"
"I have to bluff to get home..."
After dealing with the little boy.
Roger walked towards the two tung trees with mixed feelings.
Under the tung tree.
The 'Roger's cabin' was very similar to what he remembered.
certainly.
There are still some details that are different.
He walked around the hut.
Then he quietly opened the door.
The familiar objects that came into his sight made his nose ache.
A surge of memories and a strong sixth sense flooded into my heart.
…
"Sixth Sense: You sense that someone has copied your cabin and is cleaning it frequently. The last cleaning was two weeks ago."
…
Although it is not the same small house as before.
But the things here still made him feel at home.
People can only return to their original starting point.
Only then will you suddenly realize how deceptive memory is.
For example, Roger had never realized before that—
It turned out that the small house where he had lived for ten years was so small and cramped.
If he were to live in this house for a long time now, he would probably feel it was too small.
"perhaps."
“This is what it feels like when things have changed and people have changed.”
"This house is still the same as before, but I have become much bigger..."
Roger simply comforted himself in this way.
He sat quietly in the room for a while.
The little boy's puzzled voice came from outside the door:
"Can travelers just barge into other people's homes?"
"This is Aunt Dorothy's friend's house."
Roger's eyelids jumped and he smiled:
"I am her friend."
The little boy was stunned for a moment.
"I don't believe it!"
He said in a stern manner:
"The adults said that they would never meet their former friends again. If you didn't look like a bad person, I would have gone to the security team long ago!"
"You can live in the house for two days, but don't damage anything inside!"
"It's boring. I'll go find someone else to play with..."
Speaking of.
He ran away like the wind.
Looking at his leaving back.
Roger found it quite interesting.
He didn't chase.
Instead, he fell down on the bed.
The moment he lay down.
The fatigue from six or seven years of hunting flooded into his heart.
Roger lay on the bed, completely relaxed.
Just open your right hand and aim it at the low-hanging beam.
Look at the new spider web that has appeared on the beam.
Listen to the sound of insects around your ears.
Everything seemed to have returned to sixteen years ago.
The next moment.
He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep.
He slept soundly.
It was four days later when he woke up.
The hunger in his stomach urged him to eat quickly.
Roger washed his face, adjusted his body and mind in an orderly manner, and then took a piece of bread from the tinder bag to satisfy his hunger.
on the data bar.
…
"Harmony between Heaven and Man: You entered the 'enlightenment state' during this sleep, your killing rank +0.01"
…
"You have acquired a new specialty: Spiritual Transparency"
…
"Spiritual Transparency: You will be able to learn the first new martial arts of each year in 10 minutes; for martial arts with high requirements, you will have the opportunity to reduce the difficulty as appropriate."
…
“That’s great!”
After eating, Roger stretched comfortably, took out the "Golden Bell Fall" with a smile on his face and completed his study.
It’s certainly powerful to have a new expertise that you suddenly realize.
But what really surprised Roger was the vitality that came from the depths of his soul!
It was as if someone had used a brush to wash away all the dust and dirt in his heart.
He now feels very energetic!
He looked at the data panel.
I found a new blessing on it.
…
“Healing (a blessing from the bottom of my heart): You will be full of energy for the next year.
Your soul is full and impeccable.
Your body is healthy and immune to all diseases.
You will not feel tired or exhausted.
…
“Does this count as self-healing?”
Roger walked out of the house feeling extremely refreshed.
This blessing is still very good.
After all, physical fatigue is easy to eliminate, but mental fatigue is difficult to erase.
It was early morning.
He left the cabin and strode towards the center of the town, finally stopping under the hammer and sword sign near the intersection.
The blacksmith shop was still filled with the sound of bellows in the early morning.
There was no one in the hall.
Roger walked in.
A somewhat tired voice came from inside:
“No new orders.”
"I have to prepare the armor for the guard team first. There might be trouble soon..."
The air was filled with the smell of tung oil.
Roger coughed:
"It's me."
"What did you say?"
The hammering sound is too loud.
The hissing sound of steam covered part of the inner room.
"It's me!"
"I'm Roger!"
"I'm back!"
Roger simply yelled.
Bang!
This is the sound of metal utensil falling to the ground.
The half-elf blacksmith emerged from the steam with nimbleness.
He grabbed Roger's arms and looked at him in disbelief:
"You...how come you are here?"
"Are you some devil in disguise?"
"Or were you captured as well?"
Roger asked back:
"Do the demons in this place have the ability to disguise themselves as humans?"
Miller was stunned for a moment:
“For now, it seems not.”
Roger smiled and nodded:
"That's fine."
"I was actually passing by here and just happened to discover Tongma Town."
"Let me tell you about you..."
"What happened in the first place?"
Miller quickly turned off the bellows.
The two of them came to the inner hall and sat down, talking about what had happened since they separated.
Roger didn't say much.
Miller does most of the narration.
…
"I felt something was wrong with the clouds a long time ago, but there was nothing we could do about it."
"After you left, one day, I was still working in the house, and suddenly I heard screams outside..."
"I ran out and saw the scene was unbelievable - hundreds of tentacles several meters thick stretched out from the cloud, sweeping away everyone and destroying all the buildings!"
"I thought I was dead, but when we woke up, the White Horse Servant told us that we were chosen by the gods and were destined to come to this damn place to defend the wilderness temple..."
"You don't know, when we first arrived, everyone was in a very low mood, and no one knew what the future would be like."
"Although the God of the Wilderness gave us special protection, many people still died. This place is full of monsters, not to mention that there are demons like the Blood Crow that sneak across the barrier to attack us..."
"Just when everyone was about to collapse, Dorothy stood up. She encouraged us to rebuild Tongma Town and try to restore it to its previous appearance. She took the lead in planting Tongma trees in the south, and many of them survived. Later... you can see what it looks like now."
“We’re doing pretty well.”
Speaking of this.
Miller paused for a moment and took a sip of water:
"Except for the ones who died."
"Who are they?"
Roger asked quietly.
"The lord and his steward. The lord died of illness not long after he lost Talia, and the old steward didn't last long either..."
"The former captain of the security team, Terry, was a good man with a lot of experience. Do you remember him? You once fought against the corpse monster with him."
"And many young men from that expeditionary force are dead."
Miller's voice was slightly deeper.
Roger didn't know what to say.
He had only a faint memory of these names and had no real feelings for them.
But deep in his heart, there is still a hint of sadness.
For ordinary people in Tongma Town.
Whether it is "Mystra" or "Between Purgatory".
Living has always been a difficult thing.
…
Perhaps he noticed that the atmosphere had become a little strange.
Miller took the initiative to raise the tone:
"But the rest of us not only survived, we emerged stronger."
"Do you remember Dorothy? Kane's sister."
"She is still the leader of the expedition team, but her level is already 65!"
Speaking of this.
He looked at Roger with some curiosity.
Roger said frankly:
"Three levels higher than me."
Miller laughed.
After laughing.
He looked at Roger seriously:
"I don't believe it."
"I've seen so many adventurers come and go over the years, and in my mind, no one can compare to you."
"You were delayed in Tongma Town for ten years, but you were still able to kill the corpse demon.
After such a long time of training——
The result told me that I was only level 62?
This is absolutely impossible!"
Roger smiled:
"It's really only level 62, but my strength is indeed a little higher than level 62..."
Miller looked at him sideways and said coldly:
"Can the Blood Crow Lord be killed?"
Roger nodded.
Miller clenched his fists and hammered his legs hard:
"real?"
Roger said relaxedly:
"It should be fine."
The half-elf blacksmith suddenly jumped up from his stool, kicked away the swords of the guards, and muttered to himself in a trembling voice:
"I knew the luck-changing ritual from two days ago would work!"
"That old witch didn't lie to me!"
"Damn it, luckily I'm strong, otherwise I really can't subdue her..."
Roger looked at him curiously:
"Old witch?"
"It's okay. It's just a necessary sacrifice to achieve great things."
Miller waved.
An expression that doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Miller patted his head:
"I forgot to tell you that after receiving the divine power of the God of the Wilderness, I have become a "Master Blacksmith" and can forge more advanced weapons and equipment, but you have to provide the materials yourself."
"As long as you can kill the Blood Crow Lord, the crafting fee will be waived. I can even work for you for free for three years!"
Roger couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
So he put down his teacup and said:
"I really need your help."
He immediately took out two drawings and handed them to Miller.
These two are exclusive weapons for Xiayin!
…
One of them is the "Golden Snake Dagger".
Roger is going to get two.
Use them to usurp the magpie's nest "Frost Falling" and "Thunder".
…
The second one is the "Panlong Spear".
This is a weapon that Roger wanted to create a long time ago.
It's a pity that the horn-like demon blacksmith is too weak.
The Panlong Spear is not sharp enough.
Roger has been useless.
Although he himself has a forged personality.
But unfortunately, other skills in the forging field have not caught up yet.
Many times the results of hand-rubbing items are not perfect, so you still have to entrust others.
Now he happened to meet Miller, who was promoted to master blacksmith.
Roger simply left it all to him.
After reading the drawings.
Miller's interest was immediately piqued.
“Not too difficult.”
"But aren't the materials required on this list a bit exaggerated..."
he asked hesitantly.
Roger smiled and snapped his fingers.
Cindy's figure quietly emerged.
"Its name is Cindy, and she's a partner I trust very much. You can ask her for all the materials."
Finish saying this.
Roger took out a large piece of "Sky Dragon's Scale" that had been preliminarily nitrated and asked:
"By the way, what can this thing do?"
Seeing the dragon skin, Miller pounced on it and shouted with rapid breathing:
"How can you waste materials so casually..."
The word "material" has not yet come out of his mouth.
Roger silently took out another dragon scale of the ancient green dragon.
"To be honest, I don't have much of this material on hand."
He said.
Miller, however, did not respond.
Roger quickly got up and felt his pulse and heartbeat!
"It's okay, I just fainted from excitement..."
Roger was a little scared.
After thinking it over carefully, he felt that he had laid enough groundwork.
First he said he could kill the Blood Crow, then he took out the low-level skin of the Sky Dragon, and then the Ancient Dragon...
Miller fainted anyway.
All I can say is that people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.
…
In the blacksmith shop.
After waking up, Miller grabbed Roger's hands tightly:
"Let me process these materials. I hope I can advance to Grandmaster..."
"Don't even mention three years. I'd even work for you for thirty years for free!"
Roger managed to control his emotions by some persuasion.
The two chatted about other things for a while.
It's been six or seven years since we last met.
There are so many things to talk about.
The two chatted from morning to afternoon.
Miller asked his apprentice to buy some wine and food and talked while they ate.
As a result, they talked all the way until the evening.
Of course, the apprentice has to make another trip.
From Miller.
Roger learned a lot about things that mattered to him.
…
The first thing is to determine the purpose or meaning of the "Ember Cloud".
The appearance of the annihilation cloud does not mean destruction.
It's forced migration.
In conversation.
Roger mentioned the gray dwarves of Bande City.
Miller told him.
Those gray dwarves were indeed captured here, but their evil nature was incompatible with the Wilderness Temple.
final.
All the gray dwarves surrendered to the Blood Crow Lord.
The Blood Crow Castle that Roger had seen earlier was also built by those gray dwarves.
It is said that those duergar have accepted the power of the Blood Crow.
It became very scary.
The number is also ridiculous.
…
The second is the current situation of Tongma Town.
Under the special care of the Wilderness Temple, the town's main industry is farming. The soil here is fertile and very suitable for planting.
Except for the blood crows that occasionally harass this place.
The biggest trouble for the residents is the rampant "bush monsters".
I don’t know if it was Mie Jinyun’s mistake.
When it brought the people from Tongma Town here, it also brought some monsters here.
The other monsters are fine.
Only this bush demon has fertile soil and no natural enemies.
The number of reproductions is astonishing.
The guards and expeditionary forces waste a lot of energy on them every year.
…
The third is Dorothy’s current situation.
Roger was quite concerned about her.
And Miller told him.
Dorothy is now the Knight Guardian of the Wilderness Temple, with an extraordinary status, higher than that of ordinary white horse servants and white horse attendants.
At the same time, she also serves as the captain of the expedition team.
After the lord and the steward died one after another.
She became the most prestigious person in Tongma Town.
A week ago.
She went to the temple of the "Sika Deer God" for her routine inspection.
If nothing unexpected happens.
I'll be back in two days.
…
…
After some conversation.
Roger was filled .
In his opinion.
Most people in Tongma Town are lucky.
The one who suffered the most was Talia, who witnessed everyone being swept away by the tentacles in the cellar!
She herself is crazy.
Her father also died hastily because he missed his daughter.
This has to be said to be a tragedy.
The power of an individual is in the face of the will of God.
Somewhat insignificant indeed.
What Roger cares about most is...
If this is really the will of God, then why are tentacles emerging from the annihilation cloud?
God...
What is it?
Roger's thoughts became increasingly confused.
That night.
He spent the night in the blacksmith shop.
In Roger's plan.
After going back to meet Dorothy and chatting for a while to reminisce about the past, it was time to continue on our way.
Neither the Blood Crow Lord nor the four demons can escape from his grasp.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
…
late at night.
The shrill sound of gongs and drums woke up the residents of Tongma Town.
The adults quickly put on their clothes and gathered in the square.
Roger mingled with the crowd.
Not long.
Everyone was told that something big had happened!
…
"The mountain road leading to the temple is blocked by countless roadblocks!"
"Yesterday evening, I found Ah Bing's body at the bottom of the mountain . He must have wanted to come back to report the news..."
"I looked up at the mountain, and it was covered in fog, and there was a strong smell of monsters!"
"Something may have happened in the temple, so I immediately ran to inform the Wilderness Temple, but they told me that they could do nothing..."
The person who spoke was a member of the security team.
He was originally only responsible for clearing the bush monsters in the "Sika Deer Wilderness".
Who knew that something unusual would be discovered on the mountain!
For the residents of Tongma Town.
Abnormal changes are not uncommon.
But this is the first time that something like this has happened in the temple of the God of the Wilderness.
Especially since Captain Dorothy is still on the mountain...
The people who were gathered in the square seemed very anxious.
"Before, I wouldn't have worried about anything."
"But the situation of the 'Sika Deer God' seems to be a little bad recently."
"I'm really worried about the captain."
The guard who came back to report the news looked tired but still said loudly:
"We have to form a team to rescue the captain!"
“Well said!”
“We have to go!”
"The expeditionary force is already on the mountain, so let the guards go!"
In the square.
There are many different opinions.
But at this moment, a slightly low voice suddenly sounded:
"Guards can't go!"
The noisy sounds gradually faded away.
A thin man walked out of the crowd.
He was wearing a suit of fine armor and had dark circles under his eyes, giving him a sinister look.
"I am the current captain of the security team. I have the final say on the team's situation."
The man said coldly:
"Can you guys use your brains to think about it? If it's a problem that even Captain Dorothy can't handle, what's the point of us going there?"
"One more thing."
"If the enemy deliberately creates suspicion and we fall for it, what will happen to Tongma Town?"
"The guards have gone up the mountain, so this place is undefended!"
The man's tone was very harsh and he was very imposing.
He finished speaking.
The square suddenly fell silent.
There was a look of dissatisfaction in the eyes of the guards.
The person who brought the news became anxious.
He swept his eyes across the crowd, and suddenly saw a face he hadn't seen for a long time in the crowd!
"Lord Roger?"
The team member trembled and lost his voice.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over, and joyful voices rang out:
"Really Lord Roger?"
"Is Master Roger back?"
"It's true! I still remember that blow of his..."
Some people who knew Roger spoke excitedly.
The others looked at Roger curiously.
Many of them were actually not familiar with Roger.
But the battle with the corpse demon gave him a lot of reputation.
So I can barely remember the name.
But times have changed now.
The corpse demon that once frightened them.
In front of them who have become several times stronger, it is just a small dish.
The atmosphere became a little subtle.
Many eyes kept looking at Roger.
Roger seemed calm and composed.
He just chuckled and responded to those who greeted him:
“Just arrived today.”
"Actually, I just happened to pass by by accident. I'm also very happy to see you again."
"Of course I miss you..."
…
See this scene.
The guard who reported the news was so anxious that his voice became hoarse:
"Lord Roger!"
"Please tell me, should the security team go and rescue Captain Dorothy?"
The captain of the guard looked at him coldly.
The latter puffed out his chest fearlessly.
The conflict between the two sides probably has a long history.
The rest of the people's eyes fell on Roger.
Roger said calmly:
"I think the captain did the right thing."
"Tongma Town really needs someone to protect it."
As soon as these words came out.
Someone sighed quietly.
The person who reported the news was so angry that he kept shaking his head.
But the next second.
Roger's voice became slightly louder:
"Which direction is the temple?"
"I'll go take a look."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.
"Are you alone?"
The guard captain's face was full of suspicion.
"Why, you don't believe in my ability?"
Roger smiled.
"Of course not. I've heard of your name."
The captain hurriedly said:
"I'm just a little worried..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
It was as if Roger had performed a magic trick and produced a strange thing!
It was long and black.
No one in Tongma Town has ever seen it!
Boom!
A heart-shaking mechanical roar sounded.
Roger jumped onto the Will-O-Wisp and looked back at everyone:
"This is my mount."
"Who wants to lead the way?"
"Come up on your own."
Bang!
After a strange noise.
The team member who reported the news rushed over first.
He said excitedly:
"Lord Roger, my name is Quick, and I'm good at leading the way..."
The words haven't finished yet.
Five or six more people appeared behind the will-o'-the-wisp!
"Lord Roger! Let me lead the way!"
“Take me with you!”
"I am more familiar with..."
…
"No, I just need one person!"
"Hey! There are... too many of you!"
"Grass!"
In the rearview mirror.
Roger saw that there were still people who were ready to jump onto the trunk.
He quickly started the will-o'-the-wisp!
Boom!
A roar was heard.
Poor Will-O-Wisp had to carry the weight of six people across the square.
Then drive straight towards the northern wilderness!
There were seven men piled up behind Roger.
They either grabbed or hung them on the back seats and trunks of motorcycles.
That scene was really funny.
But in the eyes of others.
But they couldn't help but sigh in surprise:
“As expected of you, Lord Roger!
"What an awesome mount!"
…
The night is dark.
The cold wind was howling.
In the vast "Sika Deer Wilderness".
The will-o'-the-wisp's headlights are extremely eye-catching.
Roger took seven 'guides' all the way north.
The monsters nearby were scared away by the strange noise of the will-o'-the-wisp.
Not long.
They arrived at the place where Quick found the body.
Stand in this position.
Roger could already see the roadblocks on the mountain path.
The roadblocks were mainly fallen rocks and tree trunks, and there were so many of them that they spread all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
This is obviously a human work.
This kind of roadblock can indeed cause a lot of trouble for ordinary extraordinary people.
But for Roger.
At most, it can only be regarded as a warm-up session!
He then put the ghost fire into the hidden world of heroes.
Then he quickly changed himself into a pair of "Sea Serpent Army Leggings" and replenished a bottle of "Steel Tonic".
"You all stay away."
After telling everyone to push it away.
Roger ran up the mountain path alone!
Next second.
He pointed his toes and kicked out with his legs crossed—
The whole person started spinning like a helicopter!
…
"Wind God Kick: The wind blows away the broken building"!
…
Click~Boom!
A strange and violent noise came from the mountain road.
Under the incredulous gazes of the seven people.
Roger actually kicked the roadblock made of rolling logs at the bottom into pieces in one breath!
Crash!
There are fallen leaves on the mountain path.
But soon.
An even more exaggerated scene occurred.
Above the rolling logs are falling rocks .
Facing the obstacles made of stones.
Roger actually rushed forward in a rush!
Wow! Wow!
Still kicking out with both legs in succession.
Cross la la!
A lot of rubble fell down!
With the blessing of the "Lord of Destruction" and his energy.
He seemed to have turned into a human bulldozer!
All obstacles in the way are no match for him.
Wherever the 'helicopter' goes.
All the roadblocks were reduced to ashes!
At the bottom of the mountain.
Those seven people were already looking at Roger as if he were a god!
on the data bar.
…
"Physically remove 3 sets of advanced roadblocks, and you get a new milestone: Roadblock Crusher"
"Roadblock Crusher: Excavator Drivers' Rights Protection Association expresses outrage"
"Corresponding title: Demolition Captain (Your ability to destroy fixed terrain increases by 50%)"
…
Two minutes down.
Roger successfully cleared all obstacles at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone hurried to follow.
They are all young guys and they walk very fast.
Not long.
They followed the mountain road to the mountainside.
There was another large-scale roadblock on the path ahead.
Roger was just about to take action.
Suddenly, I had an idea.
…
"Insight: You encountered a man-eating deer"
…
On the platform to the front left.
A strong monster appeared silently!
The monster looked like a rotten sika deer.
Only the head looks like a crocodile with its mouth opened to the extreme!
"What kind of monster is this!"
Roger was shocked.
"I don't know. I haven't seen it before."
"Its body is very similar to that of the Deer God's followers..."
Quick gritted his teeth and said:
"Recently there have been rumors that the Sika Deer God is in an unstable state. That's why Captain Dorothy went to inspect the temple."
Roger nodded in understanding.
Next second.
The sika deer disappeared silently on the platform.
When it appears again.
He appeared out of nowhere behind Roger!
"It will teleport!"
Someone exclaimed.
"hiss!"
The man-eating deer aimed its crocodile-like head at Roger.
A large amount of ice element gushed out of its mouth, trying to freeze Roger!
Next second.
Its mouth sank suddenly, trying to swallow Roger in one gulp.
What a pity.
When its mouth just touched Roger's hair.
A red flame instantly flashed across its neck!
…
"Taiyi Lihuo Blade (Special Effect: Ancient Dragon Flame)"
…
Whoosh.
The man-eating deer's neck was ruthlessly chopped off.
Its head also smashed to the ground in a mess, and its eyes were still staring at Roger with anger!
“Disgusting…”
Roger touched the saliva on his hair, looking unhappy.
At this moment.
New information slowly appeared on the data bar.
…
"You killed 1 man-eating deer (click to view and obtain attributes)"
"You have gained a small amount of attack effects: Freeze"
…
"Ouch!"
Roger's eyes lit up.
He found a piece of linen and rubbed his iron-hard hair vigorously.
“It’s still disgusting!”
"but……"
"It's not that we can't tolerate..."
…
