Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 425 Conversation with Lilith (Seeking monthly votes)
Almost at the same time Roger knocked on the door, the two vampire counts standing behind it opened the door simultaneously.

These were the two demigods of the Nibais family. They were dressed much more formally than before, wearing white gloves and behaving as respectfully as if they were not vampire demigods, but lowly stewards.

This time, a long red carpet was laid out in the mansion of "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer, and the originally not very bright environment was brightly lit.

Behind the two vampire counts stood two young-looking female vampire demigods dressed in formal women's attire.

These four demigods were exceptionally handsome, with blood-red eyes. At this moment, they smiled at Roger, revealing their canines, which were sharper than those of ordinary people.

They simultaneously performed the salute reserved for high-ranking nobles during the Fourth Age, before addressing Roger, and then spoke at the same time:

"Welcome, Your Excellency Abraham."

Roger was somewhat flattered by the grand display, and he quickly realized that the vampires attached great importance to his visit to discuss cooperation.

This also suggests that three dukes may have been present today!
Thinking of this, Roger quickly returned the greeting:
"Thank you all for welcoming me."

Then he spoke again:

"Sorry, I arrived a little early."

"Have the Dukes arrived yet?"

"Of course, the dukes are waiting for you. Please come with us."

The four vampire demigods nodded in unison, then stood on either side. The two beautiful female vampires turned around and made a "please" gesture.

"Thank you for your trouble, ladies."

Roger nodded, thanked them, and then followed them upstairs.

Soon, Roger returned to the second-floor reception room. Two female vampire demigods opened the door, and two figures and a rather decaying coffin came into Roger's view.

The two tall figures, a man and a woman, stood up at the same time. The man was none other than "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer, whom Roger had met before. The woman, though she appeared to be in her forties, was beautiful, dignified, and had long, flowing black hair that cascaded down naturally, but she had no wrinkles or gray hair.

In terms of attire, she wore a Quaternary-style long evening gown, a magnificent ruby ​​necklace, and black gloves that accentuated the beauty of her hands.

After they exchanged greetings, Roger smiled at Olmer and said:
"Greetings, Your Excellency Duke of the Full Moon."

Then he looked at the woman:
"May I ask what your name is?"

“You can call me Beverly.”

The woman smiled and said, "The younger generation of vampires usually call me 'Duke of Crimson Moon'."

"Greetings, Your Excellency Duke Crimson Moon."

Roger bowed to "Duke of the Crimson Moon" Beverly, then looked at the coffin behind him with some confusion.

He could sense that there was a living being inside the coffin, which, even though it was very old, still possessed the status and power of an angel.

"May I ask, who is this gentleman?"

He tentatively began to speak, and "Duke of the Full Moon," Olmer, immediately explained:
“That is Lord Bezos, the ‘Silver Wing Duke,’ who is the eldest among us.”

"But because of his physical condition, he was unable to see light other than moonlight. Please forgive him."

"He is attending this meeting today as the spokesperson for the 'Ancestor'."

The spokesperson for the progenitor of the vampires... is Lilith's vessel for divine intervention, right?

This kind of operation is not uncommon. For example, the "Goddess of Night" used the "Mother of Heaven" as her vessel for divine descent. Many large extraordinary organizations have similar methods.

Roger immediately understood the meaning behind Olmer's words, and he bowed to the coffin:
"Greetings, Your Excellency, Duke Silverwing."

The coffin lid twitched slightly twice, as if in response to Roger's greeting.

At this moment, the two vampire countesses returned and poured a glass of red wine for Roger, Olmer, and Beverly, who were already seated.

After thanking him, Roger opened the briefcase in his hand, revealing a red sandalwood box inside.

"Your Excellencies, I have prepared a gift for the vampires, and I hope you will like it."

“I obtained this while exploring the ruins of the Terencedal Empire. I suspect it belongs to the ‘Blood Moon Queen.’ I would appreciate your assessment.”

After saying that, Roger handed the red sandalwood box to "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer.

"The Blood Moon Queen?"

Upon hearing the name, both "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer and "Duke of the Crimson Moon" Beverly were taken aback, and even "Duke of the Silver Wing" Bezos, who was in the coffin, coughed slightly.

They opened the red sandalwood box and saw the mirror inside.

At the same time, both of them felt a stirring in their hearts. Bephne's hands trembled slightly as she took the mirror out of the red sandalwood box and looked at the emblem on the back that belonged exclusively to the "Blood Moon Queen".

“That’s right, these are the personal items of the ‘Blood Moon Queen’.”

Beverly nodded, and Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

"The 'Blood Moon Queen' holds a position in our clan second only to the progenitor. She is a powerful angel king and the embodiment of beauty. Her name is synonymous with the glory and splendid memories of the vampire clan."

“This is indeed a great gift, Your Excellency Abraham, you are very kind.”

"Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer was also somewhat moved. He could see that Roger had made ample preparations for today's meeting and attached great importance to meeting with the high-ranking vampires.

"May I ask, where did you obtain this item?"

"Duke of Crimson Moon," Beverly asked curiously. She had just heard Roger mention the Terensost Empire. As one of the highest-ranking vampires who had personally experienced that era, she naturally guessed that it was most likely related to "Night Emperor" Terensost.

"I found this item in the 'Ghost Empire'."

Roger answered:
"Under the guidance of the Night King's will, I personally experienced the wedding banquet of the Night King and the Blood Moon Queen from the perspective of my ancestor Andrew Abraham. I witnessed that historic moment and was deeply moved by the love between the two of them."

"It is worth mentioning that I also met the 'Duke of the Full Moon' from a thousand years ago and another male duke, but I am not sure if the latter has any connection with the 'Duke of the Silverwing'."

Upon hearing this, "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer was taken aback:
"Are you a descendant of Andrew?"

"As far as I know, that should be the case."

Roger nodded.

“I was wondering why you look so much like Bethel, but if you are a descendant of Andrew, then it all makes sense.”

Olmer sighed with emotion:
“Andrew was the grandson of Bethel who looked most like Him. He later became a powerful ‘Wanderer’ and was once almost designated by Bethel as the heir to the Abraham family.”

After saying this, He added:

"As for your question, yes, that duke is none other than His Excellency Bezos, the 'Silver Wing Duke'."

"At that time, He was still in good health, but later He was seriously injured while protecting the 'Blood Moon Queen' and has been unable to be exposed to strong light ever since."

"Duke of the Crimson Moon" Beverly also showed a look of reminiscence and sighed:

“I wasn’t on site at the time; I was organizing logistical support for the ‘Blood Moon Queen’ in the rear, so you probably didn’t see me.”

"Just as you said, Your Excellency."

Roger nodded slightly.

"But speaking of which, since you went to the 'Ghost Empire,' did you obtain His Majesty the 'Night Emperor's' legacy?"

When asked about the question posed by "Crimson Moon Duke" Beverly, Roger nodded and did not hide anything:
"He left me the last of the 'Hand of Order' extraordinary properties, and entrusted me with the future of the 'Ghost Empire'."

Upon hearing this, the two vampire dukes were stunned again, their expressions quite surprised.

After a long while, Olmer finally sighed:
"I never expected it to turn out like this. After His Majesty the Night Emperor fell, the royal family of the Terensost family followed His plan and led the Ghost Empire into hiding, and there has been no news of them since."

"If what you say is true, then they should already be gone."

"That should be the case, Your Excellency."

Roger nodded.

At this moment, the three vampire dukes believed Roger's words at least 90%, because his account was completely consistent with the situation back then and could withstand the scrutiny of these three old vampires. The "Blood Moon Queen" relics he retrieved also served as physical evidence, fully demonstrating the authenticity of the experiences he described.

In addition, Roger not only gained the approval of "Night King" Trensust, but also clarified that he was a descendant of Andrew Abraham, which made the three vampire dukes feel closer to him, and their attitude towards Roger became much gentler than before.

Although the marriage between the vampires and the "Night Emperor" was a political alliance, as the feelings between Terensost and Olnia grew stronger and more genuine, they eventually came to truly regard each other as partners and allies.

After the pleasantries and reminiscing, "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer then steered the conversation back to the core of the day's meeting:
"Regarding the cooperation plan you mentioned last time, 'Original Ancestor' has basically agreed, but some details still need to be clarified."

"Therefore, the 'Original Ancestor' may ask you some questions through Mr. Bezos. Please be sure to answer them honestly."

"of course."

Roger felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

He solemnly stood up and performed a vampire salute to the coffin of "Silverwing Duke" Bezos.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a voice coming from inside the coffin.

The voice was still male, but it had an indescribable softness, sounding at first glance like a woman using a voice changer.

Roger Abraham.

"Greetings to the great progenitor of the vampires."

Roger bowed respectfully, while suppressing the urge to blurt out the name "Lilith."

"We've met before, haven't we?"

A soft laugh came from behind, which made Roger look up in surprise.

Olmer and Beverly also looked up in surprise, completely unaware that Roger and Lilith had such a past.

On the other hand, the "Progenitor" seemed to be quite easygoing towards Roger, a special treatment that even the three vampire dukes did not often receive.

"I'm ashamed to say that I don't remember. Please tell me."

Roger felt a chill run down his spine; for a moment, he couldn't recall when he had last met Lilith.

"Could it be that Lilith, like Adam, has been observing me for a long time?"

As Roger was lost in thought, he heard the voice of "Duke Silverwing" come again:

“Saint Milon”.

oh……!
Roger suddenly realized what was happening, and he bowed again:

"I never expected that the great progenitor of the vampires would remember such a nobody as me. Please forgive my presumptuous behavior at the time."

Roger, along with his two cats, trekked through mountains and rivers to witness the entire epic battle between the "Goddess of Night," the "God of War," and the "Earth Goddess," and saw the famous scene of "the mother's betrayal." He never expected that Lilith, the stepmother who stabbed his adopted son in the back, would remember him. Now it seems that she must have noticed Roger watching from the side.

At this moment, the conversation had essentially become an encrypted call. The two vampire dukes had not personally experienced the war of the gods, so they probably did not know what the "Ancestor" was talking about.

They felt even more confused about Roger's background. When did he get in touch with the "Ancestor"? And judging from the "Ancestor's" expression, it seemed like he was teasing Roger.
While they were in disarray, they heard "Duke of the Silver Wing" Bezos say:

"Don't be nervous. As you said, we have something in common."

Roger was stunned. He had to admit that Lilith's attitude completely exceeded his expectations.

In his view, Lilith might speak to him formally like other gods, but now it seems that Lilith is not like that at all, and even directly revealed her identity as a "remnant of the past" to Roger.

"Could it be that my previous actions in dealing with the pollution of the 'Primitive Moon' and rescuing Archbishop Mattiada made Him have a good impression of me?"
"No, that's not right... Is it because I stunned the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' when I transmigrated here?"

Roger was momentarily confused about Lilith's mindset. Just as he was pondering this, he heard Lilith speak again:
"I need more information about your previous proposal."

Roger nodded, and then said:
"As you should already know, the divine path I am on is not one of the 22 divine paths that currently exist on this planet, but rather an Outer God path."

"And now, I possess all the elements that transcend sequence, except for uniqueness. You should understand the significance of this statement."

Roger's statement implies that he possesses a "source substance," which forms the basis for the subsequent conversation.

"This path possesses an important authority, namely 'secret.' As long as I can advance to Sequence 0, I can become half of the Old Ones."

"At that time, I will be able to 'reveal' the 'secrets' of the Western Continent, open the passage to the Western Continent before the end of the world, and give the gods inside the 'barrier' the opportunity to come into contact with the source matter in advance."

Roger paused at this point:

"And for you, you should know that there is a 'nest' there, and there is also a 'goddess of beauty' extraordinary characteristic, which is the basis for His return to His original position."

"At that time, I will have three options for you to choose from."

"First, I will do my best to help you seal the 'Nest'. If you are willing, as a second option, I can also try to help you contain this source material... Of course, this is very risky."

“Besides that, I have a third option.”

At this point, Roger smiled slightly:
“I can contaminate that part of the ‘nest,’ and when the ‘Primordial Moon’ god descends and completes the reassembly, I will inflict a severe blow on Him from within!”

As Roger spoke, he made an "explosion" gesture, and then he laughed:
"Just like I did to that 'vagrant' of sequence 0."

Roger was referring to his earlier feat of severely damaging "Primal Hunger" with a single silver coin, after which almost all the gods and mythical creatures on Earth became much more respectful in his presence.

An existence that is not even a demigod, through his ascension ceremony, not only evaded the pursuit of several Great Old Ones, but also orchestrated a plan to severely injure one of them.

In the end, he even returned to Earth safely. Anyone who saw this series of actions would be completely baffled.

A Sequence 4 ascension ceremony caused a stir comparable to a true god's ascension ceremony, but that's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that Roger proved through his actions that his stance was on Earth's side.

This is the foundation upon which Roger was able to further negotiate cooperation with those righteous churches. Someone with the support of a true god and who is likely to become a Sequence 0 or even "above the Sequence" has an undeniable voice wherever he goes.

Upon hearing this, both the "Duke of Full Moon" and the "Duke of Scarlet Moon" showed expressions of horror.

They originally thought Roger wanted to help the "Progenitor" avoid the risk of being swallowed and contaminated by the "Primordial Moon," but they did not expect that this kid would be so crazy and propose an even more insane option in addition to the two more conservative plans.

Detonate the "Primitive Moon"!
Of course, Roger's actions could not render the Fallen Mother powerless like he had paralyzed the "Primal Hunger," after all, the latter was a great being who possessed the symbol of the "Immortal."

Even so, the "leak" and "celestial voice" that transcended the sequence level were enough to severely damage Him, forcing Him to abandon the "mother nest" on Earth, or even all of the extraordinary characteristics of the "goddess of beauty".

Yes, this operation will not only affect the "Goddess of Beauty" extraordinary trait in the Western Continent, but will affect all "Goddess of Beauty" extraordinary traits!
Because they share the same secret in a mystical sense, and the “leak” is enough to sever their coupling with the “Fallen Mother Goddess” for a considerable period of time!

This fundamentally prevents Him from returning to His original state of complete power, and makes it difficult for Him to influence Lilith through mystical similarities.

Even if the "Cultivator" pathway is reclaimed, Lilith can still be resurrected as the Angel King by leveraging the uniqueness of the "Moon" pathway and the extraordinary characteristics of a "Goddess of Beauty". Furthermore, if Roger possesses an ancient-level "identity alteration" that can simulate the concept of the "Moon", he might even have the opportunity to help Lilith ascend to the divine position of the "Moon" pathway.

This is undoubtedly equivalent to buying Lilith a second life, and could even influence the course of the battle in the apocalypse. Its significance is immeasurable.

As expected, upon hearing this, Lilith remained silent for a long while before asking:
"Besides the blood of the 'Creator', what are your other three requirements?"

Upon hearing this, Roger knew that Lilith must be interested.

He thought for a moment, then spoke:
"These three things are all within your capabilities and involve no risk. If you find any of the requests unacceptable later, you can refuse them."

"Also, please forgive me for having to keep one last question hidden for now. It concerns the bigger picture, and I can only reveal two of them for the time being."

"can."

Lilith's voice came through:

"Go ahead."

"My first request is that I ask you to help me verify a hypothesis."

Roger closed his eyes, then opened them again:

"I suspect that I am a being created by the activation of unique or extraordinary characteristics, or that my soul is a product of the activation of something similar. Could you confirm or deny this?"

This had always been a lingering question in Roger's mind. Although he clearly remembered almost everything before he traveled through time, he couldn't remember anything about what happened on the day he traveled through time.

This made him worry whether the so-called "pre-transmigration" experience was a persona given to him by "Crawling Chaos" or some other Outer God. As a result, "Roger Abraham" was not sure whether "Roger" was a real person or a product of the unique activation of the "Star of Judgment" pathway.

Upon hearing this question, the vampire dukes were all taken aback, and then looked at Roger with incredulous eyes.

With just one sentence, they found themselves once again feeling a sense of mystery about Roger's identity.

Lilith paused, and a moment later, a beam of light emanated from the coffin of the "Silverwing Duke".

The light was a mixture of red and green, and these two beams of light quickly enveloped Roger before disappearing.

Immediately afterwards, Lilith's voice came again, saying:
"I deny it, you are not."

"call."

At that moment, Roger and all the vampire dukes present breathed a sigh of relief.

The latter breathed a sigh of relief because they confirmed that Roger was not some strange creature, while Roger himself breathed a sigh of relief because he finally confirmed that he was not a product of unique activation, or that the soul formed by unique activation had attached itself to this body.

This also means that Roger's past life experiences were real, which gave Roger a long-lost sense of peace.

After the initial feeling of relief subsided, Roger asked again:
"So, you agree to my terms of the deal?"

"I agree."

"Duke of the Silverwing," Bezos said in Lilith's voice, and then he added:
“Olmer, give Roger Abraham a drop of blood.”

"Yes, ancestor."

"Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer nodded, took out a glass test tube, and gently shook it, revealing a drop of blood inside.

The blood had a very strange property; it didn't stick to the glass test tube wall, but instead rolled around inside like a ball.

"Thank you, great progenitor of the vampires, thank you, Duke of the Full Moon."

After thanking him, Roger solemnly accepted the drop of blood Olmer gave him.

Then he looked at the coffin:
"Now I will state my second request. Of course, you do not need to fulfill this request now. I will demonstrate my sincerity in subsequent cooperation, and the vampires can also test this."

After saying that, he added:

"Given the existence of my known and potential enemies, I hope that the great progenitor of the vampires will provide me with protection during my subsequent path to godhood."

"can."

This time, Lilith's voice did not pause; she answered quickly.

In fact, this is a kind of mutual constraint. Roger needs Lilith's support to become a god, and Lilith also needs to help him become a god so that he can fulfill his promises.

This echoes Roger's earlier statement that it is an expression of sincerity and also relates to further cooperation between the two parties.

"Once you've thought of your third request, you can pray to me."

Lilith began to speak:

"You should know my honorable name."

Roger knew that He was referring to the title of "Mother Earth Goddess," although the effect of the title of a vampire was the same, and there was no difference between the two.

"Thank you, great progenitor of the vampires."

Roger bowed solemnly to the coffin once more, and "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer and "Duke of the Crimson Moon" Beverly also spoke at the same time:
"Congratulations to the 'First Ancestor'!"

After that, "Duke Silverwing" stopped speaking, and the scene fell silent again.

"With the 'Ancestor's' approval, the vampires will be your allies from now on."

"Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer turned his head and smiled at Roger.

"The Abraham family and I cherish our friendship with vampires. If there is anything we can do to help in the future, please feel free to ask, Your Excellencies."

Roger also expressed his goodwill. After chatting for a while and exchanging contact information, Roger got up to say goodbye and leave.

"Duke of the Full Moon" and "Duke of the Crimson Moon" stood up at the same time and walked outside with Roger.

"Your Excellencies, please wait."

Roger shook hands with Olmer and Beverly respectively, and then said:

"We maintain contact and share information."

"That's natural."

"of course."

Both dukes nodded, and then Beverly spoke:

"Lyra, Loretta!"

Upon hearing this, the two vampire countesses from before immediately appeared.

They gestured for Roger to come in, and he nodded, then said:
"Well then, Your Graces, we shall meet again someday."

After saying that, he turned and walked away. Only after he had left the residence of "Duke of the Full Moon" Olmer far away did he use his "Traveler" ability to leave and return to the "Star Lord".

The following day, Roger first returned to Backlund, where he helped Alice complete her "Traveler" promotion ceremony, and then purchased some necessary building materials and tools before having lunch during a short break.

After digesting the food, he was teleported to Koske Island and met Chief Koske again.

"Your Excellency, Chieftain."

After exchanging greetings, Roger finally spoke:
"The first batch of land for the new home of the Kesk people has been leveled. Please send me 10 to 20 strong young men who know how to build houses, and I will take them there for an on-site inspection."

Although Radar Valentine has not yet given a formal response to Roger's proposal, since the Zaka Island has been clearly assigned to the Koske people, it does not prevent construction from starting immediately.

Alger's addition largely improved efficiency, but prior to this, land conditions and construction conditions had to be assessed by the Koske people.

Chief Kesk had been waiting for this moment. He readily agreed and then summoned the people he already had in mind, instructing Roger to take them away.

Roger arrived at Zaka Island with 20 Koske people in almost no time.

Because Zaka Island is located in the Sea of ​​Beluga, Bixkes Island has a more advantageous geographical location. It is not only warmer, but also free from the perpetual fog that shrouds the surrounding waters.

Most importantly, the variety of aquatic products and food is greater here, and the land conditions are better, which ensures that the Kesk people have a secure diet and can survive even without external supplies.

They were very satisfied and excited with the conditions. After praising Roger loudly, they all became familiar with the tools and building materials provided by Roger and were extremely busy.

Roger watched the bustling scene with a sense of satisfaction. After observing for a while and confirming that the Koskes did not need help for the time being, he left Zaka Island once again and returned to the "Star Lord".

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is Monday... Klein hasn't sent me those previous communication screenshots yet. Will he be able to hold tomorrow's meeting?"

Roger had previously performed an astrological reading for Klein in "Original Core," confirming that he was still alive and had his own independent destiny. However, this situation was unprecedented for the "Tarot Club."

After all, Mr. Fool only said what to do if a participant needs to ask for leave, but he never said what to do if he himself is absent from the meeting!

Does a "deity" have a real life and need to take leave?
Just as Roger was feeling extremely frustrated about this, he heard a prayer from Miss "The Magician".

During this prayer, Miss "Magician" requested to meet him and said that she was currently near Dixi Bay.

"This……"

Roger's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Miss "Magician" must have something important to say to contact him at this time.

He responded immediately and then teleported to Dixi Bay, where he met Fors, who was dressed casually, in a bar.

"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'"

Upon seeing Roger appear, Fors quickly bowed and whispered.

Roger waved his hand, and then said:
"Just call me Roger from now on, no need to be so polite."

Roger...

Fors paused for a moment, then wrote the name down.

At the same time, the "magician" had a feeling that this should be Roger's real name, rather than an alias like "John West" or "Balnelou Jones".

Just then, Roger's eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of hands. As if by reflex, Roger immediately threw the person behind him forward with an over-the-shoulder throw.

It felt very light, like a girl's hand, which made Roger's heart skip a beat.

Fortunately, the person Roger threw was very agile. A shadowy figure seemed to appear behind her, quickly catching her and helping her to stand up before disappearing again.

The scene unfolded so quickly that the only person in the bar besides Roger and his group—the bartender who was turning around to wipe the liquor rack—didn't notice anything unusual.

At this moment, Roger finally realized that the person he had just thrown out was Cecilia. The girl was looking at Roger with a flushed face, and it was hard to tell whether she was angry or embarrassed.

"Sorry, sorry."

Roger scratched his head:

"I'm used to beating people up outside, so I just instinctively threw you out."

“Cousin, this is a big city, and it’s broad daylight. There shouldn’t be any bad people here.”

Cecilia shook her head. Roger smiled awkwardly, patted Cecilia on the shoulder, and then bought her and Fors each a low-alcohol cocktail. The three of them then sat down and started chatting.

"What do you want from me?"

Roger also made himself a glass of sparkling wine. He took a sip, looked at Fors curiously, and asked.

There are three things.

Forslüe recalled for a moment, and then spoke.

"The first thing Cecilia and I found three survivors of the Abraham family in Kendal, north of Desi Bay. They were between 14 and 16 years old, and were three cousins. Their relationship was similar to that of you, Cecilia and Sam, but they were two older sisters and one younger brother."

Their names are Jasmine, Lucy, and Gaston.

"These three people, due to the special circumstances of their family's residence, never became 'apprentices' and thus avoided the disaster that befell the Abraham family in 1349."

“They are currently working in town to make a living. Cecilia and I have contacted them, but they are very cautious about the Abraham family and are still observing us.”

“Jasmine, Lucy, and Gaston…”

Roger silently recited the names of the three siblings in his mind, then nodded:

“When I first found Cecilia and Sam, they were very cautious, which is understandable.”

"After all, the situation of the Abraham family has not been very optimistic since the fifth century. They have also experienced betrayal. Many people are coveting our family's resources. It is precisely because of this that many people in the family have developed a cautious habit, especially when facing strangers."

"You'll have to put in a lot of effort in this regard to see if you can gain their trust. If they're willing to become extraordinary, I'll also provide assistance."

Roger paused, then said:

"Of course, if they are willing to wait, that's fine too, because I will most likely be able to resolve the 'Blood Moon Curse' issue within a year. At that time, they can become 'Apprentice' extraordinary individuals, and even Sam and Perseus can consider switching back to the 'Apprentice' pathway at Sequence 3."

"real???"

Cecilia was very surprised to hear this.

To be honest, this matter has completely overturned her understanding, because the "blood moon curse" has been haunting the Abraham family for more than a thousand years, and that fear and instinctive reaction have been almost engraved deep in their genes.

Even though Cecilia is currently an Extraordinary being in the "Corpse Collector" pathway, she couldn't accept Roger's words for the time being.

In contrast, Fors appeared much calmer because, unlike Cecilia, Fors knew of the existence of Mr. Fool, and with the help of such a deity, nothing was surprising.

"In any case, this is very important for the revival of the Abraham family. You two have worked hard."

Roger nodded, then looked at Cecilia:

"How's your 'Gatekeeper' potion digesting?"

"so so."

Cecilia shook her head:

"It's much slower than before, but that's normal. After all, it's a Sequence 5 potion, so it's normal for it to be digested slowly."

"Too."

Roger nodded:

"I just helped Sam advance to Sequence 5 'Master of Mystic Puppet'... Hey girl, I have a question for you."

"What's going on? You're so mysterious."

Cecilia was momentarily stunned when she saw Roger's sly smile.

Is Sam in a relationship?

Upon hearing Roger's words, Cecilia slammed her hand on the table.
"You think so too?"

"It's true."

Roger whispered:
"Is it Miss Joyner?"

According to Roger's information, Miss Joyner is likely Sam's informant, and she had previously sent Sam letters.

Sam opened the letter with great caution, which made Roger suspicious.

"do not know."

Cecilia shook her head:

"However, it's possible that before, when you weren't home, Sam would come home very late even if he didn't have any cases to investigate..."

After the brother and sister gossiped about Sam for a while, Roger finally said:

"But it's normal for us to talk so much, after all, Sam is getting old, it's normal for him to find a girlfriend."

After saying that, he looked at Cecilia's strange gaze and gave a dry laugh:
"Of course, that's a matter of personal freedom. I don't have such thoughts."

He then added:
"As long as this matter is within the normal range, we won't interfere too much. After all, Sam isn't stupid; he has his own standards for judging things."

"it is good."

Cecilia nodded and said nothing more.

Roger then looked at Fors:
"What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is that two members of the 'Hertz School' have been promoted to Sequence 6, including Yale Nicholson."

Roger nodded upon hearing Fors's words:

"This is a good thing. At this rate, the 'He Xing School' should be able to have its own demigods in no time."

Then he thought for a moment and said:
"There's something I need you to keep an eye on for me. If there's a suitable 'Hercules School' extraordinary individual that you think has good abilities and character, I might consider developing them into one of my new followers."

"Especially the eight paths of 'apprentice,' 'diviner,' 'thief,' 'spectator,' 'sailor,' 'mystic,' 'singer,' and 'reader.'"

"Of course I know that extraordinary individuals like 'Thieves,' 'Sailors,' and 'Mystics' are almost never seen in the 'Hercules School,' but if there are suitable ones, we can keep an eye out for them."

"no problem."

Fors nodded, then asked curiously:
"Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune,' may I ask why these are the specific paths?"
