Since Chloe chose to escape, Roger will not take the initiative to debunk it.

Maybe one day, Chloe will be mentally prepared to take the initiative to find Roger, but maybe that day will never come.

If a lie is long enough to cover a person's entire life, then truth or falsehood doesn't seem to matter that much.

Early the next morning, Roger and Emile said goodbye and left for a while, and before he departed, many people came to see him off, but Kenneth was not seen.

He was still using the emaciated body of the aristocratic boy, while Roger's body was hidden in the surrounding space.

Now that all his strength has been restored, a lot of things can be put on the agenda.

The wheels rolled, all the way south, and the weather gradually cooled in the bleak autumn wind.

They saw many ruined villages and yellow-skinned farmers, some changes had spread here, and forces from the environment had begun to affect the real world.

"Where are we going?"

Emily asked.

Roger opened his eyes, the light in his eyes flashed, and he regained his body, and his cultivation progress increased significantly.

If the body is revealed, then the iconic vertical pupil is hard to ignore.

It was the power of the Serpent from the World, and the Eye of Delusion had been integrated into the Hunter's Hut, and it had also promoted the development of the Yakxi Sword Seal.

This is no longer a simple illusion and mental interference.

"Go home."

"Back to where we used to live."

I, Roger, replied.

"Home?!" Chloe looked surprised.

She thought she would never get a chance to go back there.

"But Javier's family ......"

Although he knows that Roger is very powerful now, after all, there is no standard for reference, and in his heart, Chloe still thinks that an earl is more deterrent.

"Don't worry, they can't pose any threat anymore."

Roger smiled, and Chloe hesitated, still choosing to believe Roger.

The journey back was boring and monotonous, but it was not so boring because I had expectations in my heart.

Although it didn't take long to leave, everyone seemed to be full of anticipation.

At dusk.

The orange-red sun hung lazily in the sky, gilding the edges of the withered yellow leaves, and with the sound of brisk horses' hooves, the leader of the guards put away his whip.

The speed of the car gradually slowed down and stopped in front of the iron gate.

There was no imaginary rundown, the manor was as bright as new, and everything seemed to be no different from the night they left.

"Anyone?"

Chloe said as she stepped out of the carriage with a puzzled expression.

Chirping.

The door was opened from the inside, and a tall figure stepped out of it.

He bowed, and his attitude towards Roger was almost reverent.

"You're back, my master."

"You're doing a good job, Oakes."

Roger smiled and walked into the manor first.

Oakes looked at Chloe and the others with a steady gaze, and Chloe withdrew her gaze, although she instinctively did not want to touch this gloomy man, but out of trust in Roger, she still smiled back.

All the previous servants had been dismissed, but the return of the master quickly made the manor more angry, and although some time had passed, every room had been cleaned.

Everyone found their room and location with ease, and quickly integrated into the past life.

As the sun sets and night falls, the lights in the room are lit.

Roger sat behind his desk, while Oakes stood respectfully across from him.

"I killed Javier's father, and the subsequent fluctuations were dealt with thoroughly."

Oakes' face was calm, and now he was no longer a federal spy who was being chased up and down.

"There should have been no waves, but the Count retaliated indiscriminately, and this is within his reach, so I can only strike."

Roger waved his hand, "You can handle this kind of thing yourself." ”

"Is the Federal's pursuit free?" He asked casually.

Oakes nodded, "I'm low, and I'll soon be unpopular. ”

"Hmm...... It's okay that you can get out of their grip and you can develop on your own. ”

As he spoke, another figure appeared in the room.

"Turn your head...... Don't resist. ”

The voice came from behind him, and Oakes turned around, and then saw an unfamiliar face.

For some reason, from this figure, he could feel the silence and kindness from the heart.

Then he saw a pair of yellow vertical pupils.

The finger was pointed at the center of Oakes's eyebrows, and a little life seeped into it.

Roger's progress in cultivation surprised Roger, and for this initial follower, he thought that a proper reward should be given.

With Roger's current ability, even if he does something that pulls out the seedlings and promotes them, it will not hurt Oakes's foundation.

I don't know how long it took for Oakes to come to his senses.

And at this time, he was already clearly aware of the earth-shaking changes in his body.

The swelling force was almost at the limit of his control.

"You can get stronger and have more!"

"This world may belong to the nobility, or it may belong to the future Federation, but in the dark, Oakes, you should be the serpent entrenched in this world."

"The King of Darkness."

Oakes was breathing heavily, and he slowly raised his head, his eyes welling up with infinite desire.

"I ...... May I? ”

Roger smiled and reached out to press Oakes on the shoulder.

"Of course, because that's something I'm allowed."

In the darkness of night, Oakes left the manor, but at the same time another man arrived surreptitiously.

It was still the same room, facing Roger, the man who hurried in had less worship in his eyes and more fear of the unknown.

Roger poured the wine into his glass and placed it on the table in front of the man.

"Beest."

Hearing Roger's voice, the man stood up in a panic.

I haven't seen him for a short time, and the ordinary man that Roger had no intention of saving in the border has changed greatly.

His weather-covered face has become much younger, his calloused hands have become delicate, and the most important thing is his temperament.

Without the timidity of the little citizens, there is little in their eyes.

"Sir, a large number of people have gathered around us, and according to your previous guidance, they can simply deal with some supernatural events."

"I have recorded all the income during this period one by one, this is ......"

Beeste pulled out a piece of paper, but Roger didn't even have the slightest interest in looking at it.

"Give me the list of the best, it's time for you to get in touch with true power."

"Real power?!" Biced was slightly stunned, and a light called ambition appeared in his eyes.

For the next few days, Bisde kept going in and out of the manor, each time accompanied by a young and strong man.

Once they enter the manor, they go around the fence directly to the lake hut, where a thin mist envelops them.

Chloe and Emily are in charge of all the rituals that follow.

The ritual of becoming an apprentice of the witcher.

Although the number of transcendents converted by the emir already meets the minimum criteria for building a branch school.

But after thinking about it, Roger chose this place for the final address.

It takes time for the power to develop, even if he can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of all members.

In the cramped wooden house, no one knew that Roger had quietly completed the establishment of the branch school.

Subsequent buildings can be upgraded, personnel can continue to be recruited, and the person in charge here is set by Roger as Chloe.

When everything was settled, nothing had changed in the ordinary wooden house, but deep in his consciousness, Roger felt that he had an inexplicable connection with the ground beneath his feet.

His consciousness hung over the space like a god, and at the same time, he could feel a familiar place beyond an unknown distance.

The current situation of the branch schools cannot be transmitted across borders without cost, but there is no problem with normal information communication.

However, Roger does not plan to open up this feature.

Perhaps he will opt for permanent mothballing.

Resisting the urge to get in touch with Henrik and the others, it wasn't safe here, and after learning some information about the Lord of the Mist, he needed to be careful to hide his secrets.

In fact, if you want to get out of here, Roger has two choices in front of you.

The first is to continue to work with the emir.

Or, choose to secretly accumulate to expand the ranks of witchers and increase the influence of the branch schools until one day you can send yourself back without hindrance.

But obviously the second method takes a lot of time.

Roger has a lot to deal with, so continuing to work with the Emir should have the opportunity to reach out to a higher level of power and determine the identity of the Lord of the Mist.

Chloe doesn't know what she's getting from Roger yet, but she clearly sees hope for the family's rise.

The sudden emergence of witchers solves the troubles of many nobles, offering money on one side and services on the other.

Both sides take what they need.

But before you know it, the team of witchers is growing rapidly.

Finally, one morning, feeling the bright mark of blessing in the hunter's hut, Roger opened his eyes contentedly.

The Yaksi Sword Seal is complete.

Only the last step is missing.

Arden.

Power from the soul.

Change is still happening, even in a direction that Roger can't understand.

And when the fourth sword mark is fully mastered, something wonderful happens.

The spontaneous combination of sword seals formed was strangely linked to each other despite the fact that there was no power connection between them.

Under this influence, the power of the sword seal skyrocketed, and Roger even suspected that if the final Ardennes sword seal was completed, then there would be an explosive increase.

It's just that this last sword mark is completely different from the past.

You don't even need to feel and practice.

"Reached the limit?"

The Gold of Destiny resurfaced, and Roger watched the trajectory of the energy in it, a little time he had bought himself.

In addition to this, there are other things hidden in the gold coins.

Bidding farewell to Chloe, Roger crossed the border and followed his previous trajectory to Olivia's secret manor.

In the room, Valeni was doing serious research, and now she was completely imprisoned, and she could not go anywhere except the laboratory.

The day and night of research made her extremely focused, and after a period of inconclusive interrogation and investigation, attention to her also dropped significantly.

Grunt.

The liquid churned in the container, and Valeni took notes seriously.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have chosen to join the black pine block at this time......"

A familiar voice came from behind her, and Valeni shook, and the black object in her hand suddenly fell off.

The next moment, the black pine who accidentally let go of his hand floated quickly but quietly in the air, and Valeni turned her head stiffly, with inexplicable anger on her face.

"Enough is enough, how many more times will you have to carry out such a temptation?"

"I said I had nothing to do with that man."

"I'll repeat it a few times, we did stay in the lab all night, but nothing happened."

"At least for as far as I can remember, nothing happened."

As she said the last sentence, Valeni felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

Roger smiled.

"It's the same in my memory."

"Looks like they've been harassing you a lot during this time."

"You...... You ......"

Valeni slowly opened her eyes and looked at Roger in surprise.

"It's really you."

"What are you doing when you come back?"

"Find someone."

Listening to Roger's answer, Valeni's heart jumped inexplicably.

"Came back to me?"

For a moment, she was in turmoil.

Seeing Valeni's expression, Roger couldn't help but smile dumbly, he did come back this time to find someone, but it was not Valeni.

It's Olivia.

"You...... What do you mean? ”

Valeni stammered.

Seeing the female pharmacist's expression at this time, Roger couldn't help but feel moved.

"Want to get in touch with orthodox alchemy?"

"The kind of knowledge that can really turn the world upside down."

Roger's voice penetrated Valeni's ears like a devil.

"You have to think clearly, I'll only ask once."

"If you miss it, it's forever."

His chest heaved violently, and countless images flashed through his mind.

The tragedy of childhood, the schooling of youth, and everything that happened to this man.

"I do!"

Valeni said categorically.

"Good."

"You'll be glad you chose today."

Roger smiled and patted Valeni on the shoulder.

In the next second, the girl's figure disappeared into thin air, and a voice echoed in her mind.

"Follow the instructions, and the next time we meet will be the beginning of a new life."

Sending Valeni away, Roger also disappeared from the laboratory, but the next second, his figure reappeared.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be going any further."

An apparition appears out of thin air.

Roger frowned, recognizing the somewhat prodigal-looking man.

"Looks like you're planning on for me to kill you again."

"Huh."

The man shook his head.

"It's a good thing you didn't attack me directly, which gives you a chance to listen to what I'm going to say."

"Introduce yourself." The man straightened his baggy clothes.

"My name is Yumit, and I'm from the Soul Realm."

"A trap has been set up here by Tristrimi, and as soon as you get close to where Olivia lives, the hidden mechanic will be triggered."

"Then you're going to face an overwhelming attack."

"Believe me, unless you can burst out of immortal-level power in the real world, you have no chance of survival."

Yumit looked kind to remind him.

"Oh......"

Roger let out a nonchalant breath, seemingly unconcerned about Yummit's reminder.

"yes, that's just right."

"I was going to go to her."
