Chapter 119

The edge of No. 4 floating island.

On a square with high guardrails.

It's full of people at the moment.

Roger and sal walked in the crowd and finally found a suitable position to watch.

He looked around.

The horizon seems to be getting farther and farther away.

"Sixth sense: you notice that the floating island and the mountain of truth are slowly rising."

It seems that the just shaking and weightlessness are caused by the change of the center of gravity of the floating island.

The arrival of the demon tide is a gradual process.

At first, there seemed to be no particularly obvious characteristics.

At least on Floating Island 4.

Roger didn't feel any change.

The human colony under the floating island did not immediately fall into chaos.

But from today on.

Floating boats from the six floating islands will stop running.

According to sal.

After a while, even the "etheric gate" will close.

Only after the magic tide is completely over and the magic abundance returns to normal, these facilities will be reopened to the residents of the floating island.

The duration of the magic tide varies.

Fast is a month, slow is half a year.

These will be the most boring days for the residents of the floating islands.

It is also the time when friction is most likely to occur.

The arrival of the devil tide did not affect Roger's regular life.

It just made his heart a little heavy.

For the civilians under the floating island, he wanted to do something, but finally found that he could do nothing.

No one can stop the surge in magic abundance.

Floating islands and truth mountain can't carry so many people.

As for leaving Gem City, it is a dream——

Going west is the red earth wasteland, followed by the primeval forest on the south side of the "death trace".

The demons there will become stronger and fiercer after being baptized by the demon tide.

Don't talk about ordinary people.

Low level adventurers used to deliver vegetables.

In the East, there are mountains leading to "thunder highland".

There is also a "boundary river" between the mountains, which is very insurmountable.

And the south is a ferocious place with higher magic abundance.

The only thing that seems promising is the north.

But Alan warned Roger when he passed the Sierra River Bridge——

The duty of the boundary keeper is not to allow large-scale "cross-border" behavior.

The residents on the ground want to live.

I can only pray that I am lucky enough to withstand the distortion caused by the excessive magic abundance.

Otherwise.

They will become more terrible demons than the zedi refugees Roger has seen.

This feeling of powerlessness deeply stimulated Roger.

His thirst for power stems from this.

Since it is unable to change the abominable status quo.

Then you can only be alone.

Getting stronger day by day.

one fine day.

He will change all this.

He is so convinced.

The night after two days.

Roger's home.

In the basement where the "weak space array" is installed.

A three meter tall man is standing in an orderly line, receiving Roger's "physical examination".

Weak space solidification matrix can not open up dimensional space out of thin air.

But it can greatly expand the original space indoors.

Roger's basement was originally less than 70 square meters. After the expansion of the French array, it has a usable area of nearly 1000 square meters.

This made his idea of hiding a fierce man in a golden house come true.

Tonight.

He will replace the contract carrier for these loyal brothers.

With the arrival of a large number of "ancient hard stones".

Rabbit skin has lost its value.

It's daytime today.

Roger bought a lot of "Bauhinia water" and 10 standard "burning knives" in an alchemy store.

Naturally, the work of the contract engineer was put on the agenda.

On an open desk.

But when he saw Roger, he didn't lift his head, and his knife was flying.

As the stone chips rolled down, pieces of crooked infernal words took shape impressively.

"Next!"

"Dripping blood!"

"Stupid, letting you drop blood is not letting you spit blood!"

"Next!"

Under the efficient command of Roger.

Not long.

The contract replacement was successfully completed.

After being replaced by the "hard stone contract", the strength of hornlike demons has been improved by coincidence.

On the data bar.

"You have successfully changed the contract carrier, and the average combat effectiveness of your servants has increased by 20%."

"You have received an additional reward from ancient hard stone: sharing ability"

"Your minions gained 'attack special effect thunder' through sharing ability."

"Attack effects - Thunder: every attack you make will be accompanied by 10% of the thunder effect."

"You have gained 'immortal heart' through sharing ability."

"Immortal heart: your constitution +1;

When your heart is destroyed, you will not die, but will quickly grow a second heart;

Cooling time: 30 days "

"To play with a contract maker is to play with stones!"

"Hard rock sect is strong!"

Looking at the heart-shaped stones in his hand.

Roger's heart is in full bloom.

There is no reason for rabbit skin to become a substitute.

After the contract carrier is replaced by hard stones, the strength of hornlike demons has increased too much!

Not to mention additional sharing capabilities.

The attack effect greatly enhances the hunting efficiency of the little brothers.

The immortal heart not only made up for Roger's weakness (physique +1).

On the basis of being 100% strong and tough, he has a double insurance!

The combat effectiveness has not been improved at all.

besides.

After completing the contract with ancient hard stones.

Roger can finally check the complete attribute list of his younger brothers - when rabbit skin was used as a carrier previously, he can only use Qi watching skill to watch superficially, and his understanding is not detailed enough.

He glanced quickly.

The expression is very satisfied.

Devil blood is really a good thing.

The six attributes of hornlike demons total around 73 points.

A few prominent guys, such as Woodpecker - the six attributes add up to 78 points!

"Wait!"

Roger suddenly noticed something wrong and suddenly looked up and asked:

"Why is your close profession a mage?"

The woodpecker scratched his head and was at a loss:

"Really?"

"Master, I'm not sure, but it's really easy for me to learn magic."

After all, it seemed that he had a whole metamorphosis for demonstration.

Looking at the little girl in black dress in front of me.

Roger put his hand on his forehead and fell into meditation.

Woodpecker followed him for so long, and he always used him as a meat shield!

In the end, it turns out that the profession is a potential Dharma Master.

Who dares to believe it!

On the data bar, the six attributes of woodpeckers are as follows:

"Strength 17 physique 14 intelligence 18 perception 6 CHARM 14 agility 9"

"No wonder he is always vain."

Roger silently shook his head.

The constitution of 14 points obviously cannot support the strength of 17 points.

He can fight against the Thunder Dragon with a simple energy.

As for why I found out that he was a mage's material until now.

The shocking "perception 6" explains everything.

People with low perception.

I'm always confused.

And the 6-point perception on the earth in the previous life is almost the following.

"Roar, have dinner!"

A moment later.

"Eh? Have I eaten? No?"

After a while.

"Ho Ho, have dinner! (? ω?)”

"From now on, you begin to learn spells, and I will arrange spell books for you."

Roger concluded:

"But if you want to do any experiments, you must ask me for approval."

"Wugu."

"In the future, you are responsible for following him, the kind that never leaves."

It's certainly a joy to find a mage material with high intelligence among the servants.

But the ultra-low perception cast a light haze on this joy.

In the following days.

Roger's life keeps a constant pace.

But with the gradual increase of magic abundance.

Ethereal dragons near Phoebe trees began to decrease sharply.

And Sal's hip pain is getting worse.

Almost to the point where you have to drink "sleeping pills" to fall asleep without treatment every day!

During treatment.

Roger found that the effect of "Qi" was declining, so he had to increase the dose. Only in this way could he alleviate the pain of the female Warlock.

In this way.

His stay in SAL villa was also prolonged.

One day.

After half a day of treatment.

Roger walked out of the physiotherapy room with relief, and his steps were a little vain.

Sal followed with spring on her face.

"You're really great, babe."

"I think I can't live without you. Here is today's salary."

"By the way, tomorrow morning, accompany me to a court hearing."

Roger just wanted to refuse.

Sal yawned lazily:

"Tomorrow's truth mountain court may be the most popular scene in recent years. Remember the" etheric dragon "I mentioned to you?"

"Someone can't help it."

The next day.

Truth mountain court.

Spectator Seats.

Roger sat on the comfortable and soft sofa, overlooking the people below.

At a glance, it was almost all mages.

This is not surprising.

The participants in today's trial are all dignitaries of the six floating islands.

Among them, there are many senior figures of the truth society.

Naturally, mages are in the majority.

If it weren't for sal.

As Roger, he can't even come up the mountain of truth.

It's also because of sal.

Come all the way.

Roger noticed a lot of malicious eyes.

But those people didn't take action.

Because their more attention is still focused on the people being tried today.

According to sal.

That is a boy named little Thomas.

At the moment, he stood alone in the center of the hall, looking only twelve or thirteen years old, and the hairs on his lips were clearly visible.

It's hard to imagine.

It was such a suckling child who broke into the forbidden area in the ruins of Gem City six months ago and released the terrible demon of "ethereal eating dragon".

It is said that etheric dragon eaters have caused great losses to the truth society.

Many spell research projects have been forced to terminate.

This matter was found out six months ago.

It was noisy on the floating island at that time.

But the trial was postponed until now.

The reason is simple.

Little Thomas' father is the vice president of the truth society.

The extraordinary mage of level 54, known as the "wise left hand"!

Although the vice president has repeatedly stated that he will not interfere in this matter.

But the whole thing is still delicate.

Many people came to the trial today.

You're not just here to see the play.

The trial process of truth mountain is very streamlined.

All the speeches were short and fast.

It didn't take long for little Thomas to explain.

Under the attention of a group of mages.

The boy raised his head.

His eyes were full of fearlessness:

"I have nothing to defend!"

"I don't think I did anything wrong all the time."

"In contrast, you have a problem if you have discovered the ethereal dragons long ago but have been reluctant to release them?"

"Your honor, can you use the" monitoring eye "to see the situation under the floating island?"

"Just look around, anywhere!"

The judge was silent for a moment.

As an extraordinary mage, he is certainly qualified to mobilize the supervisory eye of truth mountain.

The next moment.

He agreed to little Thomas' request.

Scenes of clear pictures from the earth's surface began to appear slowly.

In a shabby hut.

The thin girl clung to the quilt and refused to come out.

The bearded middle-aged man suddenly pulled her out, and his eyes fell with bean sized tears, and his mouth said something to the girl.

The girl shook her head madly, and her tears wet the sheets.

The middle-aged man took some trouble and tied the girl to the bed.

Then he pulled back the sheets.

The girl's left foot was exposed.

But there are dense light blue spots on her ankles!

The spot is spreading upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Almost to grow to the waist of the skinny calf.

The middle-aged man mercilessly wiped away his tears and brought back a saw from outside the house.

Then he stuffed the girl's mouth with sackcloth.

He gently hugged the girl and said a lot.

Just when he was ready to do it.

Suddenly, a group of annoying "mosquitoes" flew from outside.

These mosquitoes covered the girl's ankles.

He sucked deeply.

Soon, they flew away.

The middle-aged man couldn't believe looking at the girl's ankle.

Those spots symbolize destruction and distortion.

It just disappeared.

He put down the saw in his hand and held the girl who was still crying and began to cry.

Similar scenes are staged on the earth's surface all the time.

After this touching scene.

Little Thomas shouted:

"You can avoid the tragedy tomorrow morning, but you choose to do nothing!"

"I saved all their lives!"

"And you will judge me!"

"Is it true that no one feels ridiculous?"

The venue was silent.

The Justice said calmly:

"But you have harmed the interests of Mount truth."

"Ethereal dragons are terrible war demons. I don't know if you just noticed that every time you suck a certain number of" aberrations ", this kind of demons will become stronger, and their reproduction speed will be accelerated."

"After the demon tide, their number and level will reach a point we can't solve."

"Can you be responsible for this?"

The words of the Lord Justice seemed to be expected by the boy.

He burst out laughing:

"Then find a way to solve it!"

"If the problem is really so serious, why waste time on trial?"

"You who have mastered the authority of etheric learning, you who think you are in a high position, and you who think you are a genius... Use your brain quickly!"

"Compared with those poor people on the surface, you should have more ways, right?"

"Or do you refuse to admit your incompetence, and do not want to contribute to controlling the number of this demon?"

His voice became more and more passionate.

The silence of the crowd set him off like a messenger of justice.

At that moment.

Everyone subconsciously ignored his age.

"How?"

Sal took a sip of red wine and asked softly in Roger's ear.

"Great."

Roger smiled:

"I mean, he's very good at his lines."

On the data bar.

"Sixth sense: you realize that little Thomas is performing a great performance."

"It's the man I like."

"In addition to pleasing skills."

"Your brain is also sexy."

Sal smiled and took Roger's hand.

Despite the surprised eyes of others, the two walked out of the court.

Behind you.

Little Thomas' passionate speech continues.

"Nothing will happen today. They are all crafty guys."

On a sightseeing platform in Mt. truth.

Sal turned around with her skirt like a lady, like a dancing red butterfly.

Her voice seemed a little erratic in the mountain wind:

"Little Thomas is just a chess piece, even his father."

"Some people in the truth society are dissatisfied with the status quo."

"Etheric dragon eater" is a spear, pointing to the president who is addicted to studying Talon martial arts and has not appeared for more than half a year. "

"Although the Lord Justice is scolding the child, they are all in a group."

"The forces that were really beaten are now estimated to be on the second level of the mountain of truth, and I don't know what the president has studied."

Roger listened carefully.

He knows.

What Sal said is really confidential.

"What are you going to do?"

Asked Roger.

Sal said so much, certainly not for nothing.

The warlock smiled:

"I owe the old man a favor. I may have to fight for him this time."

"The next mountain of truth will not be peaceful."

"You must promise me to stay on the floating island and not go anywhere until I come back."

"If I don't come back."

"I allow you to find other rich women."

Roger bared his teeth and hesitated:

"How dangerous it is."

Sal smiled sweetly:

"It should not die."

"It may not even fight."

"But I'm sure to go for a long time... Pity my hip."

Roger silently shook his head.

"Promise me!"

"Stay on the floating island and don't go anywhere!"

Sal suddenly became fierce.

Roger was stunned for a moment and nodded:

"OK."

That night.

The edge of No. 4 floating island.

Bypass the detection range of the "monitoring eye".

Roger faced the wind.

Jump!

The wind whirred in his ear.

Under the action of resisting the wind.

It was not long before he landed successfully.

The magic abundance of the earth's surface is indeed very rich.

Fortunately, he was immune to magic, and the distorted ether could not have any impact on him.

After making sure there is no one around.

Roger took the GARGOYLE STATUE out of his arms.

The Gargoyle spits out "the last refuge" from his mouth.

In the crowded main room of the shelter.

The hornlike demon construction brigade jumped out one after another.

In the night wind.

Roger motioned silently.

A group of people rushed to the ruins of gem city!

"If you really let the ethereal dragon grow smoothly in the demon tide, the civilians on the surface may not be harmed."

"For this."

"I am duty bound!"

Roger launched the Ultimate Hunter.

He began to look for the trace of his brother.
