Chapter 731: Cracks
The training base of Demon Hunters has reached the critical point before promotion, please continue to work hard to train more elite hunters and complete the next stage of evolution.
"Current Progress: 788/800."
Training Base ...... It was only then that Roger realized that he had been away from Kylemohan for a while, and that the world was flowing significantly faster than normal at the time of Elrod.
The contrast here is not clear, but Roger can deduce one or two just by the change in numbers.
The soul was severely damaged, and even the hunter's hut was affected, and the strange experience just now greatly increased the recovery speed of the broken soul.
The so-called soul realm is like a huge nutrient pool for the current Roger, if he can enter it a few more times. The recovery from the injury will also be much faster, but the strange peeping feeling makes Roger feel a little worried.
"Could it be that horrible thing that came to this world with me?"
He thought of the palm that covered the sky and the sun, as if it was pouring endlessly.
"With my current soul level, if I can fully recover, it is not difficult to reach the so-called fourth stage, according to Chloe, as long as I reach the third stage, I can actively communicate and enter the soul realm."
This is also an opportunity.
Although the soul has its own peculiarities, after coming here, the situation made Roger think that the world's ability is too low and he doesn't have many ideas about trying this way of promotion.
But now there are practical benefits, Roger can try to make a breakthrough while repairing the soul wounds, and in the process can also continue to refine the new sword seal.
Arden.
Chloe's pattern gave Roger a lot of ideas, which made him realize that the seemingly simple pattern had actually hidden the core of his soul power.
Maybe it's the embodiment of some kind of rule.
Other than that...... The hints on the bulletin board also gave Roger other ideas.
It seems that Kyle Mohan's expansion continues, but in the real world, the emergence of the transcendent is an ongoing process, and the original power structure does not leave much room for the witcher to develop.
But the world is very different.
The level of science and technology is backward, and the society is in turmoil, especially in the places bordering the border, and there are endless strange incidents.
As if he had learned from Oakes, the mysterious power that caused Dross to change, Roger realized that this might be an opportunity for himself.
In this world, the study of the soul is much more in-depth, but the development of physical power is seriously insufficient.
What's more, except for a very small number of people, most ordinary people have no potential for soul awakening at all, so in this world with soul power as the core, there is no difference between them and lambs to be slaughtered.
At this time, at the bottom of society, if there is an organization that can be strong enough for them to be physically strong, so that they have basic security capabilities, and go further, they can even rely on their own battles in exchange for a better life.
Roger can imagine that with proper preparation, the number of demon hunters in this world may increase explosively.
You can break through level 4 or even reach level 5 in a short period of time!
The core part of his current strength improvement comes from the newly evolved cabin, but Roger did not neglect the construction of the Demon Hunter Base because of this.
These are two completely different development directions, complementing each other, and some may not have much effect now, but they may be the key to a turnaround in the future.
"Upgraded to Level 4......"
Roger muttered to himself, "I don't know if we can build a new Witcher training base here, even if the functions are not so comprehensive, but if we can use it to get in touch with Kylemohan......"
"Even figuring out the exact location of the space is excellent!" After all, after finding his body and reuniting, he still has to return to the original world.
For Roger, who has the eye of delusion, as long as. to determine the specific location, then it is only a matter of time before it returns.
Even deep down, he once had an absurd idea.
"Those modern lives that I remember, the so-called earth...... Does it really exist? ”
That's what panics him the most.
If the earth is nothing, and memories are made up, then who is he?
What's the point of all this?
Banishing these negative emotions out of his mind, Roger focuses on the matter in front of him, Chloe is still excited, but Roger is already thinking about the next stage of ignition.
According to Chloe, the so-called soul realm is equivalent to the vast ocean, and only by igniting one's own soul power can one get in touch.
Then it's time to slowly build up strength until you blend in.
When entering the first stage, the most intuitive change is the strengthening of the body by the soul, and in this place everyone is very different.
Strength physique, agility perception, and even a little bit of mystical prediction, but after entering the second stage, the enhancement of soul power has derived three basic applications.
Bound, thorny, royal.
It means controlling offense and defense, and slowly there will be a variety of fusions.
Having obtained this knowledge in advance, Roger quickly studied it, and he easily found that there were many things that could be found in the application of soul power that were compatible with the Adennes Seal.
He benefited greatly from simple research.
After an extra day of rest and a little possessions, Chloe hurriedly said goodbye to Roger, which had been delayed for too long, and if she did not go to the border to carry out her mission, I was afraid that there would be big trouble.
Seeing the cheap sister leave, Roger finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not leave immediately, but delayed for another day, and took care of all the matters before confusing the housekeeper and the guard to leave the city after telling Emily.
Before leaving, he left Emily some potions and many books.
With the help of these things, Emily should be able to grasp a little bit of pharmacy when he returns next time.
If the time comes, he may be able to complete simple alchemy experiments independently, and alchemy will be an indispensable part of his next plan.
The strength is not enough, and the medicine will make up.
Now Roger is no longer what it used to be, this world is rich in resources, and after thorough integration and mastery, he is confident that he can create a group of powerful teams only through alchemy.
Although she also left Chloe a few alchemy potions, Roger didn't know if the cheap sister would care about such a life-saving thing.
"Anyway, it's also the closest person to this body, next time maybe you can prepare a green herb for her, and then guide him to become a demon hunter."
After leaving the city, Roger went into battle alone, completely avoiding the normal road and walking in a straight line, crossing the mountains and swamps.
Three days later, one morning, the sun rose, and the warm glow pierced through the dew drops on the blades of grass, scattering a multicolored sheen.
Sou!
A large, brown-patterned beast leaped up a hill, and an emaciated figure sitting on the beast's body lifted its hood and looked at the city looming in the distance.
In the early morning fog, the city seemed to hide some uneasiness, and when he got closer, Roger dispersed the beasts, and then found an opportunity to blend in with a caravan, and used a little trick to enter the border.
It is both a city and a fortress.
The proximity to the kingdom was home to a large number of people, and as an important entry point for entering and exiting, it was once a necessary route for countless traders.
Now because of the situation, the flow of people has plummeted, but I don't know how much more prosperous it is than the dilapidated Poirot City before.
Ordinary residential areas, though heavily guarded, fit the appearance of a border city, but at a deeper level, a wall tens of meters high separates the city from the fortress.
Roger could see a glaring gap in the edge of the fort, where people were working day and night to repair and reinforce it.
From there, spreading into the distance, is a clear rift, as if in. A wound was cut on the earth, separating the kingdom from the federation once and for all.
"This is what I knocked out?"
Roger was secretly surprised.
Although his body was a veritable fifth-order, it was difficult to be afraid of falling from a high altitude, carrying a part of the power of spatial turbulence, and it was impossible to cause such a terrifying might.
The cracks in the ground are not tens of meters or hundreds of meters.
Just by visual inspection, the length is definitely more than ten kilometers.
Meandering across the earth like a hideous scar.
"That's not right......"
"If it was a crack caused by a collision, such a terrifying area, I am afraid that the fortress not far from the edge of the crack would have been razed to the ground, and it is impossible for only a part of the city wall to collapse."
This is contrary to basic geographical common sense.
Isn't the most important cause of this change in reality?
Frowning, too far away for him to feel if there was any strange energy escaping from the edge of the gap.
What's more, even if he entered the city, he couldn't get any connection with his body.
"Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to get close there."
On the surface, the wind and waves are calm, but the whole city has always been shrouded in inexplicable tension, the people around are in a hurry, and many ordinary-looking faces also hide unknown alertness.
A little closer, the number of transcendents has increased dramatically, and it is obviously extremely difficult to get close to that gap without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Dangdangdang.
At this moment, the shrill sirens sounded throughout the city, and the emotions of everyone around them became tense when they heard this sound.
"Lock down the city, shut down the streets!"
There were deafening noises in all directions, and the reaction of everyone confirmed that this was not an emergency.
The flow of people subsided, the streets became empty at a visible rate, and Roger looked around, everyone purposefully burrowing into the nearby houses, some of them hurrying, but also seemed to have a fixed place to live.
Just when he hesitated, a rude voice suddenly came from beside him, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hide quickly?" ”
Roger looked sideways, and a middle-aged man covered half of his face in linen said urgently, his face was covered with the ravines of time, and his voice seemed very hurried.
"Just entered the city today?"
Roger let the man pat him on the shoulder, then grabbed him by the sleeve and slipped into the alley next to him.
"Follow me, another guy who doesn't know whether to live or die!"
"What happened?"
He asked in a hurried voice as he followed the man briskly, with just the right amount of panic in his voice.
"You don't even know what you're here for?"
"Are young people so bold nowadays?"
The middle-aged man angrily counted down Roger a few words, and then answered his question.
"See the black smoke in the distance?"
Roger looked in the direction he had pointed out, and it was already early in the morning, but the originally clear sky was now cloudy.
No, that's not a dark cloud.
Rather, it is a black mist that evaporates from around the cracks.
The abyss and the sky became the same color, and as time passed, the area shrouded in black fog continued to expand around.
Not even the sun in the sky could penetrate the dark earth.
"The Kuroshio Tide has come again."
The middle-aged man's body trembled, "We must move quickly, and we must hide in a safe area before we arrive." ”
"What's that?"
"Nobody knows." The middleman's throat twitched, he didn't want to talk about it, but after three or two breaths, he glanced back at Roger.
"You'll know, it's the abyss......"
"But it could also be our hope!"
"When did this happen?" Roger asked.
With his abilities, it was impossible for Oakes not to tell him if he knew about such a significant change in the border.
"Just the night before yesterday."
"No, maybe it was earlier, but it didn't get anyone's attention at the time."
"It's as if the sun was swallowed up, and in just a short period of time, day was reduced to night, hehe, it was no ordinary night."
"Except for certain safe areas, the whole city will be turned upside down, and some terrifying creatures roam the streets, and people will be affected as a result......"
The middle-aged man's words reminded Roger of the changes in Dross.
"But who would have thought that when the sun reappeared, some of the ordinary people who survived unexpectedly completed their initial awakening and possessed the power that only nobles could grasp!"
"Haha, instead of being exhausted in the fields or beaten by those damn lackeys, maybe it would be better to come here and fight!"
"Didn't you come here after hearing the news?"
The middle-aged man showed a little smugness that I had already seen you through.
"Just yesterday, old Barr, who came with me from the village, has become a transcendent being, such a powerful force that even the broken leg has grown back together."
"I also heard that he got a few girls to toss around in the tavern all night that night!!"
"What kind of thing is that, I don't know?"
The middle-aged man sneered.
"It's just old waste that can't even climb into bed!"
As he spoke, a hint of eagerness appeared on his face, and he took a few steps forward, and in the lens of the two people's eyes, a door painted with strange symbols was slowly closing.
"Wait, I haven't ...... yet"
"There's no place for you in there."
A few playful stained faces popped out of the crack in the door, and they laughed and sped up their movements before Roger and the others rushed in front of them to close the door completely.
Boom!
Moment.
There seem to be two worlds formed outside the door and inside the door.
Roger looked up, and the black fog in the distance was engulfing the entire city at a breakneck speed.
