Chapter 543: The Mountain Maiden's Request
In fact, if it weren't for Uma's sudden intervention, the end result would most likely be that Roger would have left Isofu's body through the power of the Shadow Touch.
As for Sunset Chixia and the others, there is a high probability that they will be directly brought into the target point of teleportation.
Then Roger's trip to the sunrise will be a complete failure.
He sank his heart and felt the contract that Uma had imprinted on his soul.
The connection is still there, but it has become very weak.
Within the confines of the shadow hut, the wounds on his body recovered at an extremely fast pace, and even the pale blood became active and regenerated.
Roger walked through the garden, into the path that had summoned Uma, to the door of the Shadows, where he placed his palm on it, activating the pact in his mind.
After a long time, it was calm.
Unsettled, after hesitating for a moment, Roger still took his palm back, Uma had an accident and the connection between him and Roger was severed, but there was someone who could definitely find her.
Mountain Girl.
In fact, not long ago, Roger thought that he would never see this woman again, and because of his past experience, Roger was wary of this woman.
Consider what Uma did.
He thought about it, but still felt that he should make contact with her.
But it can't be here.
Thinking of this, his body disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in the cemetery hut.
Because of the effect of shadows on reality.
At this time, the cave where the Hundred Eyes Demon is located, the first layer has become an independent space belonging to Roger, and if anyone wants to step into that area without Roger's permission, the defense mechanism of the hut will be triggered, and Roger will perceive it for the first time.
So even in the real world, Roger can always grasp certain situations in the ordinary world to avoid accidents.
Henrik and Amanda have left Bordeaux, the necropolis cottage is deserted, and Glovy and her people have been living in fairy tale manuscripts lately.
The manuscript was placed in the hunter's hut.
Instead of seeing Gowey, Roger left straight from the cemetery cottage, where he took a recent non-stop flight to Ed.
After leaving the airport, we drove to the nearby mountains and forests.
This time he didn't use any means of summoning, Roger maintained the state of shadow touch, and the power of shadow poured into reality, and he knew that the mountain girl must be able to feel this abnormal energy.
You don't even have to wait too long.
"What are you doing here?"
A familiar voice came from the woods, and Roger turned his head to see half a face peeking out of the shadows.
The broken body, the ugly face, the familiar temperament or the familiar person.
"What?"
"Tired of playing, that maid wants to get a new one?" The mountain girl looked mocking.
Roger narrowed his eyes, "Don't put on that resentful expression, I don't owe you anything, on the contrary, you have taken advantage of part of my trust in you." ”
The mountain girl was silent.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me to do?" Her tone became calm, and she reverted to her old attitude.
"Something went wrong with Uma, and the connection between me and her was severed." As he spoke, Roger simply recounted the story of entering the eternal world.
“…… That's the way it is. ”
"I know that although she has signed a contract with me, her body has never left that world, you may know something."
"Hahahaha!"
The mountain girl laughed, "That fool, the shadow is like snow in the sun, even if it is protected by the power of shadows, her behavior is no different from suicide." ”
Roger's heart tightened.
"Honestly, it's been a long time since I've seen her, and according to you, she's probably broken to pieces."
"Her death will make the cage stronger, and I'll never get out of here."
"Dead?!" Roger's face changed.
"Even if you don't die, you're not far from death."
Roger's eyes flashed, "Can you save her?" ”
"Tell me, what are the conditions if you are asked to make a move?"
Roger asked without hesitation.
This time it was the mountain girl who was surprised, and she looked at Roger carefully, and there was an emotion in Roger that Roger couldn't understand in her cloudy eyes.
"Stupid woman, stupid master!" The mountain girl scolded in a low voice, I don't know why, Roger always felt that there seemed to be a little inexplicable envy in her eyes.
"Wait."
With that, her figure faded into the shadows.
At the same time, in the chaotic shadow world, the mountain girl at this time is no longer the ugly appearance shown by the outside world.
She parted the darkness with her hands, cut through the blockade and came to the other end of the area, where, in a house made of stone, it was Uma who had fallen into a coma and gradually dimmed.
The mountain girl is much more powerful than Uma, and in the mountain girl's opinion, what Uma has done is a complete betrayal.
But for two people on an isolated island, even if they are enemies of life and death, they don't want each other to die before they leave the island.
After all, compared to the never-ending loneliness and despair, a little emotional contradiction and so-called hatred is really not worth mentioning.
The mountain girl opened her hand, and black energy poured into Uma's body, and gradually Uma's dim body gradually became solid, but at this moment, the mountain girl floating in the air suddenly snorted coldly.
"Get out of here when you wake up, or I won't mind hitting you again!"
"I'm so badly hurt."
Uma quickly opened her eyes, "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to break your own blockade to see me, sister for so many years, it seems that you have forgiven me." ”
"The man came to me."
"He made a promise to me to save you." The mountain girl snorted coldly.
"Roger."
There was no surprise in Uma's words, "What conditions did he promise you?" ”
"This is something I need to communicate with your master, and it has nothing to do with you."
The mountain maiden glanced at Uma with a slight mockery, but what she said inevitably made people think about it.
"Oh...... I know that you sullen old woman, you can't stand it for so many years, right? ”
Lust is easier to breed in the shadows, and Uma knows that feeling better than anyone.
The mountain girl's face changed, and as soon as she raised her hand, she heard Uma say slowly: "It is true that the matter between you has nothing to do with me, but I think there is something, there must be something related to you." ”
"After so many years of getting along day and night, no one knows the breath of your body better than me."
"I can feel a little bit of your origin in that place, my friend, can you tell me why?"
Uma stared at the mountain maiden.
"That's a delusion." The mountain girl sneered, and then her body disappeared into the real world.
"How?"
Roger asked impatiently.
"She's fine, even if you want to do anything to her now, she can handle it." The mountain girl said meaningfully.
Roger was just about to open his mouth when he heard a voice from the bottom of his heart, coquettish and weak, which made the man who heard it want to grow two more kidneys.
"Dear host...... I'm so touched that you are ...... for me What a price to pay! ”
"There's nothing to repay you, if I want, I can do it anytime, anywhere!"
Roger grimaced, he wanted to ask Uma at this time, who is cheaper? Who exactly is it rewarding?
Unilaterally shielded Uma's next words, this maid was indeed perfect except for the harassment of something.
"Now it's your turn." Roger looked at the Mountain Maiden.
"Don't bother me again, I don't want to see you."
The figure of the mountain girl slowly disappeared, but the words she said made Roger frown.
A lot of times, it's the free ones that are the most expensive.
"Wait!" He stepped forward, but the mountain girl had already lost her figure in the forest.
At this moment, in the shadow world, the figure of the mountain girl appeared, and she looked at Uma, "I need you to help me do something." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work." Uma shook her head, "Although we are sisters, I can't disobey my master's orders. ”
"I won't let you hurt that man." The mountain girl's eyes flickered, and Uma was about to refuse when she continued, "I can help you get that man." ”
At the same time...... she slowly approached.
"It makes you stronger."
"Deal!"
Uma didn't hesitate, and the smile on her face put any pair of sisters to shame.
"Tell me what's going on?" Uma asked.
The mountain girl shook her head, "It's not the time yet, his strength is too weak, maybe ...... The day that was never touched. ”
Shadow Cottage.
Uma sat upright, humbly accepting Roger's lesson.
“…… In short, don't make a decision next time without my permission. ”
"Yes, master."
Roger waved his hand and sent Uma away, but he didn't notice that as he melted into the shadow world, Uma had a completely different look in his eyes than before.
Then she spoke directly: "Dear master, I must confess one thing to you. ”
"Not long ago, the woman promised me a condition that one day in the future, she wanted me to do something for her."
"Of course, these things don't threaten your safety."
"On what terms?"
Roger asked.
"Make me stronger, and ......" Speaking of this, Uma's eyes rolled, and he wanted to say goodbye.
Roger's face darkened, and he instantly thought of something.
And Uma recounted the communication with the mountain girl to Roger in 1510.
At the end, she added.
"My lord, in view of my honesty, can you fulfill my small request and make up for my loss a little......"
"It's a long time coming, let's talk about it another day."
With a wave of his hand, Uma was sent away unilaterally, and similar issues became more and more chaotic as they were exchanged, but the news provided by Uma reminded Roger of a lot.
"Shadow Fragments...... Cage...... And the everlasting sunrise, how can these things come together? ”
Unable to sort out his thoughts, he simply stopped thinking about it, and opened the manuscript directly after entering the hunter's hut.
In a different way, he may have had time to wait slowly, but the situation has changed, and some things have to be brought forward.
For Roger's arrival, Gowi was a little surprised, after a period of rest and adjustment, Gowe's people also reached the ideal state.
From the body to the mind, I am ready to inject green herbs.
With the physical fitness of these people, combined with the improved green herbal medicine, the success rate of promotion is almost 100%.
Roger now has the option to use the recipe of the herb he used before, the main ingredients of which can be found in Lilith's treasure.
The second option is to use an improved flask recipe that includes supernatural materials from the Eastern world.
Roger guessed that the purpose of this should be to avoid the oppression caused by the different rules of the two worlds as much as possible.
No, maybe this is to restore the original appearance of the herb as much as possible.
After much consideration, Roger decided to give up the recipe for the improvement of the herb for the time being, as he was now in a permanent life, but his movement was limited due to the unknown environment.
Raising the level of the Hunter's Hut as soon as possible is the first priority.
It didn't take much time to prepare the potion, but Roger still set aside an extra day for the members of the Mystic Blood family to buffer.
After doing all this, he didn't stop in the fairy tale manuscript, left a message for Amanda and Henrik in the real world, and then returned to the cave of the Hundred Eyes directly through the Shadow Hut.
And by this time, the sun has risen and a new day has arrived.
With the assimilation of the Shadow Hut, the cave of the Hundred Eyes Demon was also shrouded in it, and the Sunset Chixia and the others were set up as temporary visitors, and Roger called the three of them to his room one by one.
The Hunter's Hut was so weird that he had to give a reasonable excuse, and being alone with everyone was a cover-up.
Kazuo Aoki and Chinatsu Sunset are okay, although they are different in Roger's methods, they are barely acceptable.
The only thing that makes Roger feel a little strange is Yukiko Morita, a girl with a really eccentric personality, sometimes acting smart and empathetic, but more often than not......
For example, just now, after entering Roger's room, Yukiko Morita's expression even made Roger himself wonder if he had done something to this girl?
After a long time, he pretended to slap the girl a few times to restore her injuries to the point that it did not affect the battle, and Roger quickly opened the door and told her to get out.
Since Roger intends to stay here, the others naturally have no opinion, but after regaining their combat effectiveness, they can do a lot more.
Especially Kazuo Aoki, the arrival of this guy was really unexpected, but he really helped a lot.
After recovering his strength, he can control the paper man through spiritual power, the combat power of this thing is very ordinary, but it can play a warning role to some extent.
What's more, some of the paper figures controlled by Kazuo Aoki have reconnaissance abilities, and he can temporarily leave the cave to detect the surrounding terrain.
Although there has been no substantial progress, some information has been found piecemeal.
The whole day passed quickly, and as night fell, everyone except the paper figures who were on guard returned to the cave, and Roger returned to the hunter's hut.
In the fairy tale manuscript, Roger took out nine test tubes, in addition to other potions for assistance.
If all goes well, all nine of them will become Demon Hunter apprentices, and Roger will usher in a new change.
