…
“You can’t go.”
“Why not?”
“The corpse demon is too dangerous!”
“No matter how dangerous the monsters are, they can be killed! I have the courage and awareness to face the scorpion demon.”
“Dorothy, courage and awareness will not avenge your revenge, but may cost you your own life.”
“But…that’s my brother.”
…
In the hall of the lord’s mansion, there was a fierce quarrel.
“Roger, go and persuade Dorothy.”
“She has been here five or six times this month, and each time she has applied to the lord to recruit people to crusade the Shiloh.”
“She seems to have changed since Kane died…”
The two guards told the story at once.
Kane is the captain of the former garrison of Tongma Town and is a very reliable man.
He is one of Roger’s few friends in Tongma Town.
He was the one who accompanied Roger through the difficult adventurer career in the early days of time travel. Roger was very grateful for this and kept it in his heart.
A year ago, Cain recruited a group of elite adventurers in the town.
They went to crusade the long-dead ghoul demon with great momentum, but the result was a bizarre annihilation.
Tongma Town was severely damaged because of this. Last winter, the Moors from the north almost broke the granary.
During that time, many people in the town were secretly complaining about Kane’s recklessness.
…
Roger enters the hall.
A tall girl is standing beside the marble pillar, arguing fiercely with the white-haired butler of the lord’s mansion.
She wears close-fitting chestnut leather armor, with a sharp dagger attached to her waist and thigh straps.
Her skin was very fair, perhaps because she was too excited, not only did a layer of dew-like sweat appear on her forehead, but even the faint blue veins were so obvious.
She is Dorothy, Kane’s younger sister, and the current garrison captain of Tongma Town.
“Roger?”
Dorothy noticed him, her eyes slightly surprised.
Roger nodded lightly and walked quickly to the two of them.
“Are you here to stop me?”
Dorothy noticed the two dodging guards and her eyes became unkind.
“No, I’m here to pick up the bounty offered by Shi Luo Yao.”
Having said that, Roger pressed the reward order on the desk in front of the old butler.
The hall was silent for about five or six seconds.
“Are you kidding? Roger.”
The old housekeeper pushed his glasses tremblingly, looked at the reward in Roger’s hand, and muttered:
“Crazy, you are all crazy.”
Dorothy froze there, her eyes gradually becoming complicated.
And the two guards who encouraged Roger to enter the hall were even more dumbfounded.
They hadn’t even noticed before that Roger had ripped off the bounty from the ghoul!
After all, in their impression, Roger is the kind of very rare honest adventurer.
Fighting monsters has never had anything to do with Roger.
“Wait a minute!”
Dorothy suddenly reacted and grabbed Roger’s arm:
“You can’t go!”
“Why not?”
asked Roger.
“The corpse demon is too dangerous!”
Dorothy frantically stroked her messy hair.
“No matter how dangerous a monster is, can it be killed?”
“You’re not the only one who is enlightened, Dorothy.”
Roger said calmly.
Dorothy bit her lip lightly, thoughtfully:
“Are you using this to remind me to be rational?”
“But that’s Kane…”
“No no no.”
Roger couldn’t help rolling his eyes:
“Don’t think too much, I mean it literally.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the old housekeeper:
“Should there be detailed information on the corpse demon in the lord’s mansion?”
The old butler looked at Roger silently. After a while, he seemed to realize Roger’s firmness, so he said helplessly:
“We do have detailed information on the ghoul.”
“But in order to prevent some adventurers from misjudging the strength of the crusade target, we have added a pre-task.”
“Only after completing the prerequisite tasks will we give you the detailed information on the Shi Luo Yao.”
Roger thought for a moment, then nodded:
“What are the prerequisites?”
“Queen of the Red Tide Corpse.”
The old butler stopped inking, and took out a newer roll of parchment from the drawer and handed it to Roger.
“As long as you can kill the Red Tide Corpse in Yuntai Mountain within three months, in addition to the bounty of 300 Bronze Tokens, we will also give you the information on the corpse monster with both hands.”
“I hope you can understand that we really don’t want the living forces in the town to die in vain.”
Roger glanced at the content on the parchment and nodded slightly:
“Got it.”
“Farewell.”
With the ghostly expressions of the guards, he turned and left the lord’s mansion.
“Roger!”
It didn’t take long before Dorothy caught up as he expected.
“After the Red Tide Corpse… I’ll go with you.”
she said.
Roger said decisively:
“Okay.”
“Tomorrow morning, North Pumpkin Field, I will wait for you.”
Dorothy was stunned for a second. She thought Roger would refuse, but she didn’t expect him to agree so happily.
She looked Roger up and down again, as if looking at a stranger.
“It’s a word.”
Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked slightly suspiciously:
“Where are you going now? This is the way to Yuntai Mountain.”
“Oh, I’m going to collect herbs.”
said Roger.
…
More than an hour later.
Outside a valley on the mountainside of Yuntai Mountain.
Roger’s breath was evenly attached to the steep rock wall, and he walked steadily.
The half-height weeds severely obstruct his vision.
Fortunately, he also has “Qi Qi”.
In Roger’s field of vision, there are blood-red thin air columns rising into the sky in front of him.
Above the canyon, a scarlet cloud of blood stagnates for a long time.
This shows that there are a lot of monsters in the canyon!
Roger stopped quietly.
Not far ahead, a solitary blood-colored gas column stopped moving.
That’s a Crimson Tide Zombie.
…
“Red Tide Zombie LV4 Health 35 Defense 5 Weak Thunder”
…
Glancing at the data obtained by the qi technique.
Roger gently undid the two-handed sword on his back and held it firmly in his hand.
This kind of two-handed sword is the standard configuration of the Tongma Town garrison. It is smaller in size than the common two-handed sword. It is also relatively flexible to swing, which is very suitable for small-scale battles.
This two-handed sword was given to Roger by Kane.
In Tongma Town, a territory that does not produce steel, it is a valuable gift.
Suppressing all kinds of thoughts.
Roger adjusted his breath and suddenly launched a “surprise attack”!
His figure is as fast as lightning.
In the weeds.
The Crimson Tide Zombie tried to turn around slowly, Roger had already deceived him, and the sword light in his hand slashed towards the waist of the monster!
With the blessing of “Potential”, his sword can exert 500% of its power!
Whether it is “Attack Power”, “Damage”, or “Strength”, “Hit”, and “Cleave Judgment”.
All are 500% effective!
Pfft!
The sharp blade cut off the waist of the red tide corpse like a sickle cutting straw, and there was no sense of stagnation.
The monster quietly turned into two parts, struggled on the ground for a while, and then died completely.
“It’s so silky!”
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
He skillfully took out a sackcloth and wiped off the yellow blood on the two-handed sword before focusing on the second target.
From the half-human-high grass, the silent slaughter was carried out slowly.
Relying on the precise positioning of “Qi Qi”, Roger seemed to demand his life to wipe out the lives of the single monsters one by one.
…
“You killed 1 Red Tide Zombie, and you killed 9 Red Tide Zombies in total”
“You gained 1 XP”
“Your Pain Resistance is slightly increased”
…
Roger threw the guilt mark on the Crimson Tide Zombie before he started.
This kind of monster feedback attribute is very good, it is the resistance to pain.
It’s a pity that monsters like the Red Tide Zombie~IndoMTL.com~ don’t have the reproductive ability of the Demon Explosion Frog, otherwise Roger would really consider whether to fully refill the pain resistance before leaving.
Whoohoo!
The sword wind in the grass is slightly restless.
Roger simply cut off the head of a monster and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He frowned slightly.
“It’s too slow to kill…”
“Also, it’s not so easy to find the lone red tide zombies, and the rest are gathered in the valley.”
At this moment, in front of him lie the four-segmented corpses of two Crimson Tide Zombies.
He originally only wanted to kill one of them, but he didn’t expect to disturb the other one.
Fortunately, with his current skills, it is not difficult to fight two with one.
But this made Roger realize that killing like this is not only inefficient, but also has hidden dangers to safety.
The hordes of Red Tide Zombies are a potential threat to him.
“It’s time to change strategy.”
“Go and see what’s going on in the valley first!”
Roger put his two-handed sword on the ground, hung a rope around his waist, and went into battle lightly.
His “Climb” skill is 49 points (the limit of LV5), which is enough for this kind of terrain.
When he reached the heights, he looked up.
Deep in the canyon, groups of red tide zombies move irregularly.
The next second, Roger’s eyelids flicked.
He saw an intact tent among the zombies!
A tall, fat zombie emerges from the tent.
As if aware of something, she suddenly glanced at the stone wall outside the canyon.
The stone wall was empty.
…
