Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 379 The Familia of Geheros (Check-in)

The moment Roger saw the comet, he knew it was a "star wanderer" roaming the sea of ​​stars, which excited him instantly.

Even from a great distance, Roger was still able to see the strength level of the "Star Wanderer" through his "Secret Insight" vision enhanced by the "Original Core".

This is a being with incomplete divinity, whose strength level is around Sequence 4 to Sequence 3!

This didn't surprise Roger, because he already knew that many extraordinary beings lived in the stars, many of whom possessed divinity.

Possessing divinity is one of the most basic conditions for being able to travel through the starry sky for a long time; otherwise, even the most basic survival cannot be guaranteed.

Roger steadied himself and began to intensify the force of gravity pulling him. Soon, he reached a speed far exceeding that of a rocket and dashed towards the "Star Wanderer".

Along the way, he relied on "fate" to constantly avoid some asteroids and large meteorites flying towards him. However, the closer Roger got, the more a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He actually felt a strong sense of unity from the "Star Wanderer"!

"Is it possible?"

A strange thought popped into Roger's mind, but before he could react further, the "Star Wanderer" also noticed Roger.

A burst of blazing white light suddenly appeared from its originally gray trail, and Roger clearly heard one indescribable sound wave after another coming from the direction of this "Star Wanderer".

The sound waves initially sounded somewhat like the explosive roar of "mental boosting," but without that noisy quality. If you had to describe it, it was more like a high-pitched, rhythmic buzzing.

Even in a vacuum where there is no air, the sound can still reach Roger's mind.

Roger was able to discern a certain emotion from the buzzing sound.

That was excitement, longing, and the urge to charge forward!

"Good heavens, could it be that they're eyeing my extraordinary characteristics?"

Roger was taken aback. After a moment's thought, he decided to temporarily change his flight direction and try to avoid the "Star Wanderer's" flight path.

However, after he did so, the "Star Wanderer" also changed course and flew towards Roger's direction once again.

"..."

Roger was speechless for a moment. He could only summon the "Black Knight" armor once again, then hold the "Spirit and Flesh Blade" in his hand and enter a state of high alert.

After all, according to Bentley Morris and York Weeks, the "Star Wanderer" would actively attack anyone who got close to it. Roger originally thought that he only needed to use the extraordinary item made by the Steam Church to directly obtain its trail at a distance of about 100 kilometers. However, it seems that this comet-like thing has a very different definition of "getting close" than Roger.

"No wonder, 100 kilometers is really not far in outer space, it's practically the same as face to face."

Roger sighed softly. At this moment, he was prepared to fight this "Star Wanderer" to the death.

Soon, reflected in Roger's blood-red eyes, the comet-shaped object drew ever closer.

"1000 kilometers, 900 kilometers, 600 kilometers, 300 kilometers..."

Roger quickly estimated the accelerating comet, and just as he was about to unleash his first sword strike, the "Star Wanderer" suddenly made a move that greatly surprised Roger.

It stopped about 50 kilometers in front of Roger, then disappeared, and the whole ball turned upside down.

At the same time, Roger finally saw the face of the "Star Wanderer".

On the gray, cratered surface of the near-sphere, like the moon, there was a gray eye. However, the eye was so similar in color to the surrounding sphere that it was very difficult to distinguish.

At this moment, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and the previously excited and frantic buzzing sound was now filled with a sense of flattery and fawning.

This scene immediately reminded Roger of the little white hamster he had raised in his childhood in his previous life. Every time Roger came home from school, the little dog would show a half-smiling expression, then lie down and expose its belly for Roger to pet.

"This……"

"Beep beep~ Beep beep beep".

Roger paused, then began to try making that buzzing sound, infusing it with his own emotions, to communicate with the other person.

For a moment, a strange exchange began between the man and the ball. After half an hour, Roger finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that these "Star Wanderers" are a special kind of interstellar creature, belonging to one of the clans that originally followed Geheros.

Although they are not very intelligent, they possess some abilities similar to a "living astrolabe," including but not limited to manipulating gravity, discerning the movement of stars, and bestowing good fortune upon themselves.

After Geherus disappeared more than 1500 years ago, they, who were already elusive, fell into a state of leaderlessness and drifted in interstellar space.

At this moment, the "Star Wanderer" clearly sensed the aura of Gherros from Roger, and thus mistook Roger for its master.

"Wait, more than 1500 years ago..."

Suddenly, Roger realized that this keyword seemed to match the timeline of the last time Earthlings discovered traces of the "Star Wanderers," as mentioned by Bentley Morris and York Weeks.

"So, the dismemberment of Geherus didn't happen during the Fifth Epoch?"

This discovery greatly surprised Roger, as it likely indicated two things.

The first question is that Roger's own time travel was likely not in the Fifth Age, but sometime at the end of the Fourth Age. For some reason, he was in a dazed state until he awoke again in 1349 of the Fifth Age, carrying the power of Gherros and possessing the original owner's body.

The second problem is that, if that's the case, the uniqueness of the "eye-catching bag" he's been searching for might have been lost by the end of the fourth season!
This made things complicated and confusing. Roger had considered many possibilities related to this, but now it seemed that whether that uniqueness still existed on Earth was another matter entirely.

"This...is a bit troublesome..."

Roger was immediately filled with sorrow. After a moment's thought, he inquired about the specific circumstances of the disappearance of the "Star Wanderer" Gherros.

However, this guy knew nothing. He only said, "Gheros disappeared with a 'beep beep,' but Roger couldn't understand what that 'beep beep' meant at all and just took it as an onomatopoeia."

"That's true. If it were those three making a move, it's quite normal that these little guys who are only around Sequence 4 wouldn't understand it..."

Roger nodded slightly, and then said:

"How many of your people are left?" "Beep beep beep beep beep..."

The "Star Wanderer" blinked, meaning there were 526 other "Star Wanderers" at the same level as it, 2,568,704 at the middle sequence level, and over 100 million at the low sequence level, which had almost no intelligence. Roger was too lazy to remember the rest of the numbers at the moment.

"So many..."

This was completely unexpected by Roger. If the number was so large, then the way these extraordinary beings were formed was probably very different from that of the extraordinary beings on Earth.

As for how this race came to be, the "Star Wanderers" said they didn't know either, only that they were born under the influence of the power of Gherros, and they knew nothing about the specific details.

"Are you able to summon your people?"

Roger thought for a moment and asked.

"Beep beep! Beep..."

This means, yes.

Roger's heart skipped a beat:
"Then, will you still obey my orders?"

"Beep beep! Beep beep!"

The "Star Wanderer" immediately showed great enthusiasm, expressing its loyalty almost without hesitation and saying that it would call all its races to follow Roger.

"Then, then that won't be necessary."

Roger waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this. On one hand, he didn't want to create any more bizarre celestial phenomena on Earth, and on the other hand, he didn't want these "Star Wanderers" to get too close to the Great Old Ones outside Earth's barrier, because it would not only be of no benefit but might also harm them.

"Give me your trail spray..."

After Roger had a basic understanding of the situation, he opened his pocket and pointed the opening at the "Star Wanderer".

"Beep!"

Upon receiving the order, "Star Wanderer" immediately turned its rear end toward Roger.

Upon seeing this, the latter immediately finished speaking the half-sentence he hadn't said:

"Just a little bit is fine!"

However, it was too late. Roger only felt a huge wave mixed with ice and dust sweeping towards him. Without thinking, he teleported away from the trail and released the bag, letting it collect enough trail dust on its own.

"That solves the problem."

After retrieving the bag, Roger weighed it in his hand with great satisfaction. This trace of the "Star Wanderer" alone was enough for four "Living Star Charts" to advance to the rank of "Black Prophet".

"By the way, let me ask you something else. Where around here is a relatively open star field where you can clearly see light from other star systems?"

Roger asked, "Actually, there is another very suitable coordinate in 'Amra's Guidance,' but I really want to interact with this 'Star Wanderer' a little longer to deepen my understanding of him."

The comet-shaped object immediately started beeping again. Roger could tell from its words that it knew of such a place, but even at its rapid speed, it would take about five months to reach it.

"This is a bit troublesome..."

Roger thought for a moment, and then a strange idea suddenly popped into his head:

"Including the coordinates I just asked you about, could you please send me all the star coordinates and corresponding scenes from the starry skies you've flown over in recent years that have left a deep impression on you, through prayer?"

Then he added:

"Of course, don't use my old name. I'll tell you a new name."

Having said that, Roger began to beep and beep:
"A wanderer from ancient times, a blood-red star behind a veil of shadows, a descendant of the lost beacon of stars for a thousand years, the great Metersbonwe."

Roger was very careful not to let the "Star Wanderer" use Gherros's former name, nor did he let it use the name "Roger Abraham," because doing so would either risk awakening Gherros, or it might allow some malicious individuals to set traps or curses against Roger in the stars. If the traps or curses reached the level of angels, then Roger would most likely be in serious trouble.

The name "Metersbonwe" is much safer because, in the present era, it can only refer to Roger, while the vast majority of others have no idea of ​​its original meaning.

Although the Star Wanderer found Roger's request somewhat strange, it still beeped and agreed to comply.

Then it began to pray softly with a "beep beep beep" sound, while Roger also closed his eyes and observed the scattered sky within the "Primal Core".

In the extremely distant reaches of the night sky, some stars began to light up, making the celestial sphere appear even deeper, allowing Roger to see even more of the interstellar space.

This experience was within Roger's expectations. It once again significantly enhanced Roger's "Living Star Chart" potion. Afterwards, he was even more surprised to find that he could actually present the interstellar space scenes revealed by the "Star Wanderer" through prayer and see the general situation inside.

"This……"

Roger was deeply shocked, and it took him a long time to calm himself down before he withdrew.

Do you want to come with me?

He looked at the "Star Wanderer" and asked.

"Beep!"

After receiving an excited response from the "Star Wanderer," Roger nodded and then temporarily locked the guy in the "Old Box."

The next second, guided by "Amra's guidance" and the newly added coordinates in the spiritual sky of the "Primal Core," Roger arrived at an extremely empty area with few stars.

This was a region on the edge of the Milky Way, and beneath his feet, countless stars and dust were still visible. When Roger looked up, he could see countless extragalactic galaxies in the depths of space, as dense as the endless sands.

"It's so beautiful..."

Roger sighed, first releasing the "Star Wanderer," then taking out the hexagonal box he had obtained from the Steam Church, aiming it at an extremely dark area, and activating it.
