Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 225 Cross-dressing boss
The next moment, Roger reached out and delivered a hook punch directly to the stomach of the tall, muscular woman.

Although the two women's body proportions seemed completely disproportionate, with this punch, the woman, who was as big as a small giant, was suddenly sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the liquor cabinet behind her!
In an instant, countless glasses and bottles fell from above, smashing onto the ground, the bartender, and the female "Dawn Knight," making a crackling sound.

The band that had previously sung "Aurora Love Letter" originally wanted to uphold their professional ethics and stay to support their boss, but upon seeing this scene, they all silently followed the patrons and fled outside, leaving only the bartender behind.

Roger stood up, brushed the shards of glass off himself, and walked toward the female "Dawn Knight".

In fact, Roger noticed the woman's strange height and muscle distribution as soon as he saw her come out.

Simply put, they look like women and speak in a neutral way, but they don't seem to be women at all.

Although Roger was not a medical professional, he had learned a lot about this subject while surfing the internet in his previous life.

Even if the other person is a physically fit woman, one should not violate the most basic principles of body shape.

On the other hand, when Roger received the "Sword of Dawn," even the Sequence 5 level "Shepherd" flesh magic was almost completely shattered.

Fortunately, Roger managed to replenish his flesh and blood, which allowed him to block the powerful blow.

All of this suggests that the woman may not actually be a woman, but a man deliberately disguising himself as one!
Sure enough, when Roger used "Secret Insight," he discovered the other party's secret.

Although he didn't know why the other party was pretending to be a woman, this secret was enough for him to use the "leak" to defeat his opponent in an instant.

In fact, this is the result of his deepening understanding of the capabilities of "leakers" over this period of time.

The specific principle is that if the other party, in a female body, exerts power exceeding that of a male, even if she is an extraordinary individual of the "Warrior" path, she will inevitably be regarded as superior and will have a stronger presence.

However, if the other party is a man who achieved this result by impersonating a woman, then this becomes a "secret" that can be exploited by Roger's extraordinary powers.

Roger used "leaking" to disrupt the stability of his opponent's power advantage by exploiting the rules of mysticism. Then, he used the "reversal" rule contained in the several records of the fourth movement of the Dawn Quartet that he specially made before leaving Pulitzer Port to reverse his own power advantage!

In that instant, Roger unleashed a power of suppression comparable to that of a true "warrior," while the opponent's original power advantage was "leaked" and stripped away, turning him into someone only slightly stronger than an ordinary person!

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for him to be knocked away instantly.

Seeing the disbelief flashing in the eyes of the "Dawn Knight," Roger conjured a "Sword of Dawn" and placed it against the man's neck, while his right boot stepped on the man's seemingly real but actually protruding chest.

“Tell me where Bratov is. I know you have a relationship with him.”

"Also, I don't want to be enemies with the force behind you. I'm just looking for Blatov."

Putting everything else aside, even if the other person is a man, his height far exceeds that of a normal person, he is very likely to have some giant blood and is probably a Fusak.

Although Roger never met "Twilight Admiral", based on the available information, it can be inferred that the latter should also have some giant blood.

Considering Bernadette's earlier statement that Bratov was backed by the Church of the God of War, Roger could be fairly certain that the man disguised as a woman was also an extraordinary being connected to the Church of the God of War!
Although Roger's killing of Ludwig and his intention to kill Bratov would have offended the Church of War, Roger still had to say it.

It's one thing that Bratov was associated with the Church of the "God of War," but it's another thing that this became known to everyone.

This is not only a matter of reputation, but also of real interests.

Putting aside everything else, the losses that the pirates' annual raids bring to the three major churches of Rune are incalculable. If the Church of the God of War is found to be supporting a wicked pirate general, it could very well cause friction between nations or even a local war.

Not to mention that the Kingdom of Rune and the Empire of Fusak already had constant conflicts, which further increased the risk of friction between the two sides.

Furthermore, from the perspective of "God of War" Badheer, He and the Goddess of Night are in a state of suspicion, similar to a chain of distrust.

This is a natural mutual apprehension between adjacent paths, and the same situation exists between the "Lord of Storms," ​​the "Eternal Sun," and the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

This is also why they separated different countries such as Rune, Intis, and Lenburg as their missionary grounds, because it is inevitable that unpredictable results will occur when adjacent paths come together.

Therefore, Roger's initiative in pointing out the power behind the "Dawn Knight" was a way of sending a warning.

If the other party continues to act recklessly, Roger is not afraid to escalate the situation and truly become the "goddess's troublemaker."

However, faced with Roger's question, the large man dressed as a woman showed no intention of answering, but instead sneered:

"When did even the rats at the Aurora Club become this audacious?"

Roger's lips twitched. Ever since he joined the Aurora Society and obtained the second path of "Secret Prayer Man", he has always been targeted and insulted as a rat.

"none of your business."

Roger's temples bulged with veins, and his legs gained even more power.

"You have 10 seconds. If you don't speak, you're dead."

"I've just consumed too much of my flesh and blood these past two days, so I need to replenish it."

"But you're disgusting. However, I can kill you and eat your bartender."

Upon hearing this, the bartender, who was already quite far away, unconsciously took a step back, only to bump into the cold wall behind him.

Roger didn't care about any of that; he started counting down on his own.

He didn't just count; for every number he counted, he would cut off a small piece of flesh and blood and drip it onto the other person's face to increase the pressure of the countdown.

The flesh and blood of the "Rose Bishop" is definitely one of the most fearsome things in the mysterious world. Even a little bit of it is enough to make people avoid it, let alone someone like Roger who directly attacks it head-on.

Essentially, the countdown is just a way to increase pressure; in the end, the other party is still gambling on whether Roger is willing to offend the "God of War" Church.

However, with this very direct death threat accompanied by a countdown, things are different.

Sure enough, before Roger could even count to "6", the "Dawn Knight's" mental defenses had already collapsed.

He waved his hands repeatedly:
"Stop it, I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Your outward appearance and your inner self are quite similar."

Roger scoffed, loosened his grip slightly, and stopped dripping blood and flesh.

"Blatov came to Oravi Island about three days ago and bought some supplies and fuel from me."

“Normally, he wouldn’t be so short of supplies, and he certainly wouldn’t come to me directly, because he’s a pirate captain and many people know him, so he’s too conspicuous. He would even delegate most things to his subordinates.”

"But he told me that one of his important subordinates had died, which was why he had to do this, and he asked me to keep an eye out for anyone who might be the murderer landing on the island."

At this point, the big guy suddenly realized something:
Could it be...?

"Yes, I killed Ludwig Sergei and enslaved his soul."

Roger laughed and said, "I think you know him too. How about I let him out so you can have a drink and catch up?"

What a hellish joke...

Philip's lips twitched violently, but he ultimately maintained a calm expression.

Upon hearing Roger's words, the cross-dressing giant's expression turned completely sour.

Judging from the other party's previous words, he seemed to know about the connection between Bratov and the Church of the God of War. Even so, Roger still chose to kill Ludwig Sergei and enslave the soul of this "Scroll Professor", which clearly shows that he did not take the Church of the God of War seriously.

Furthermore, those extraordinary individuals who follow the "Secret Prayer" path are generally not mentally stable. They are both fearless and mentally unstable. Such people are unlikely to let you off the hook, and their previous statement about "not wanting to offend the forces behind you" may just be a delaying tactic.

Thinking this through, the tall woman in drag chose to shut her mouth and stop talking. Roger, seeing this, quickly understood what she was worried about.

"Don't be silly. Ludwig and Bratov were pirates, but you are not. You're just an ordinary bar owner."

Upon hearing this, the cross-dressing giant was slightly taken aback, but his expression softened a bit.

"Now tell me, where did Bratov go? To the East Bayron or the Rothschild Islands?"

Roger smiled and continued his questioning.

"Rosd Islands".

The tall woman blurted out.

"very good."

Roger nodded, keeping his promise and letting go of her foot.

"Get up. What's your name?"

The tall woman in women's clothing quickly stood up, her expression showing some surprise.

They just say they won't kill people and then they just stop? When did the people in the Aurora Society become so sane?
“Alexia.”

“…Say it again.”

“Alex, Alex Geller.”

The cross-dressing man sighed and revealed his real name.

However, Alex Geller was completely oblivious to the shocked expression on the bartender's face.

Philip, however, saw things clearly. In his view, barring any unforeseen circumstances, after today, "Coastline Tavern" would probably only have Alex left as a lone figurehead.

"One of my men was attacked just now. Do you know who did it?"

Roger had already learned of Zeus Newman's attack through his mystical senses of flesh magic.

The owner of this "Coastline Tavern" clearly didn't know he had arrived in Ludwig's ship, otherwise he wouldn't have acted that way earlier.

Therefore, Blatov must have also entrusted another group of people to avoid getting the "Church of War's" contact too involved in battles related to him.

However, this question stumped Alex Geller. It wasn't until Roger added that the other party had a "clown" that he suddenly realized what was going on:
"It's Mitroncardils!"

"Who is that?"

Roger pressed on with the question.

"He is also a great pirate, but not as famous as Bratov. He is usually short of money, so he often gathers other extraordinary people at sea to do jobs for money."

"Is he from Olavi Island? Where is he now?"

“He’s not from Olavi; he just uses Olavi Port as one of his main bases… He comes back from time to time, but he left with Blatov three days ago.”

Alex answered without hesitation that he would be happy to talk about it as long as it didn't involve the Church of War.

It's just that nobody's paying him now.

Do you know what he went to do?

Roger frowned slightly; he couldn't understand why Bratov would need to bring another pirate with him when he set sail.

"I don't know that."

What are the characteristics of Mitroncard?

"He was only about 1.5 meters tall, had a small mustache, a large burn scar on his right arm, liked to wear a wide-brimmed leather hat that didn't suit his size, and carried a red revolver. He seemed to be an extraordinary person of the 'Diviner' pathway, but I didn't know which sequence he was."

Alex answered, then cautiously asked:

"Sir, you can ask all your questions at once."

Roger's mysterious act of stripping him of his power had greatly shocked Alex Geller, who was originally quite confident in his combat abilities. To this day, he still doesn't know what kind of power that was.

"do not have much left."

Roger shook his head and walked outside.

Alex had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to clean the shop when he saw that the Aurora Society's scourge suddenly turn around again.

This startled him:
"What else do you want?"

"Prepare 50 barrels of the best beer from Oláwi Island for me; I'll have someone take them with me when I leave port."

"Of course, I'll pay you."

After saying this, Roger pushed open the door and walked out, with Philip following closely behind.

……

After leaving the house, Roger, guided by his spiritual intuition, headed straight for the direction in which Zeus had been attacked, and soon arrived at the "crime scene".

Many people were lying on the ground. Most of them were simply knocked unconscious by Bandit's electric shocks, while the most dangerous ones were killed directly by the cat.

Roger did not try to wake the unconscious people, but went straight to the short "clown" and absorbed a large amount of his flesh and blood before beginning his psychic communication.

A moment later, the small figure emerged, twisted and contorted, seemingly still not used to his death.

What is your relationship with Mitrom Gadirs?

This question contains Roger's reasonable speculation about the relationship between the two, based on Alex Geller's earlier statement that Mitrom Gadirs was a short "divine" extraordinary.

"He is my cousin."

The short soul answered.

"Is Mitroncard a Sequence-something Extraordinary?"

"I don't know, but I'm guessing it's sequence 6."

Faceless Man...

Roger suddenly felt a headache coming on.

If this short "clown" and Mitroncard were brothers, that would be fine. But if they were just cousins, he would have to reasonably guess whether the great pirate had deliberately transformed into a short man to mislead the others.

Thinking of this, he pressed on with another question:

What does he really look like?
