No job: Check the cards, Loki, are there any problems with the cards?

Why does hair color change?

Although he found it inexplicable, Roger didn't think it was a bad thing.

In fact... it even looks somewhat pleasing to the eye.

After moving around a bit until his body was fully able to move, Roger finally had the energy to carefully observe his surroundings.

First of all.

This is a completely enclosed small room.

The layout... resembles a laboratory specifically used for recording research.

The workbench stood in the center of the room, scattered with various parts and tools, while discarded manuscripts littered the floor, creating a chaotic mess.

There were signs of searching everywhere, as if someone had been here long ago before him.

Roger picked up a design drawing from the ground and flipped through it.

The contents inside, uh...

Rogge felt a bitter taste in his mouth. It was truly obscure and difficult to understand. The complex design drawings and wildly imaginative ideas were like a book written in heaven to him.

I don't understand a single thing.

However, what caught his attention most was the location where he first woke up.

There was a teleportation magic circle drawn there—the patterns were intricate and ancient, and the lines faintly glowed with the residual light of magic.

Roger recognized it immediately; it was the spot where he had first woken up and was lying.

In other words.

He slowly closed his eyes and recounted everything that had happened from beginning to end.

He encountered the Dragon God in the Crimson Dragon Mountains, jumped off a cliff, and at the moment he fell into the abyss, he entered the teleportation magic circle.

He survived a great ordeal and was transferred away.

That feeling was hard to forget; at first, Roger even thought he was hallucinating.

A sudden dizzying sensation followed.

As they passed through a pure white space, they encountered the guy who called himself a god.

Based on the advice of gods and men.

He then learned a god-level healing magic trick and successfully survived.

After clarifying the whole situation, Roger suddenly understood.

"Those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future."

"But isn't my luck a bit too outrageous?" Roger thought to himself for a moment, realizing that it wasn't just simple luck.

Driven by curiosity.

Roger then began to explore the room more carefully.

After going around in circles, he discovered a disturbing fact.

That is, this room has no exit at all.

The walls were so thick that knocking on them only produced a dull echo, and only the magic lamp on the ceiling shone alone.

The problem is... how do we get out?

Rogge's gaze returned to the teleportation magic circle.

Since it was teleported in, it should theoretically be able to teleport out as well, especially since there are three magic circles in this room.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry.

According to the god, this room was also an opportunity for him, theoretically like the protagonist in those martial arts novels from his previous life, who fell off a cliff and then obtained a divine skill manual.

Rogge guessed that there must be some treasures here that could help him grow.

Next, he began to examine every corner of the room more carefully.

He soon made a new discovery.

The owner of this room is called the Demon Dragon King.

Many of the things here are products he left behind.

A small portion of the languages ​​used by humans, but most of them were languages ​​of the War Gods, languages ​​of the Demon Gods, and even some ancient scripts he had never seen before.

Therefore, this is the most urgent task.

Only by learning other languages ​​can we understand the current situation.

And so, Roger began to study diligently in the laboratory.

Perhaps the owner of this laboratory once lived here for a long time, and thus stored up a considerable amount of supplies.

With the added protection of the barrier, none of the food became moldy or spoiled.

If he eats sparingly, it will be enough to last him for at least several years.

Good news... there is no food shortage.

The bad news is... he can't get out for the time being.

But this did not deter Rogge's desire to explore.

He turned his gaze to the bookshelf and quickly selected several books specifically for learning other languages.

It contains the language of humankind, the language of demons, the language of war gods, the language of beast gods, the language of sea gods, the language of heaven gods, and even the language of dragon gods, which has long been lost.

Of course, Rogge couldn't possibly read it all at once, so he learned three languages: the language of the God of War, the language of the Demon God, and the language of the Beast God.

Just learning the language took Roger more than a month.

When he opened those books again, which had previously seemed like gibberish, the meaning of the words suddenly became clear.

Then he noticed a detail.

Almost every book ends with the name Laplace.

"Laplace?"

"Um……"

Roger felt the name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Oh.

correct.

Senis used to tell stories about a little nurse before bedtime every day when she was a child, and Laplace's name was one of them.

In that legend of the three heroes, there appeared a major villain named Laplace.

Five hundred years ago, the demon Laplace waged war against the world, declaring his intention to destroy all of humanity.

This second world war between humans and demons lasted for a full hundred years.

In the end, the demon was defeated by the three heroes working together.

Although it is also called Laplace, unlike the vicious demon god in the legend, the master of this laboratory, the Demon Dragon King, looks like an intellectual who is engrossed in his studies.

In order to gain a deeper understanding.

Rogge went to the workbench where he was in charge of research, picked up a scattered design drawing and examined it carefully. He immediately became parched.

Preliminary design drawings of Fighting God Kai?

The God of War, isn't that the third strongest among the seven great powers? Second only to the Dragon God, could this be the armor the God of War once wore?

Or perhaps the Demon Dragon King is the War God of the Seven Great Powers?

Rogge guessed to himself.

Previously, because he couldn't read, he didn't understand the importance of this laboratory.

Now that we have a complete understanding of the situation...

Even Rogge was stunned.

This place is all-encompassing, containing many rare and lost books from around the world, and covering almost all fields of expertise in the world.

In this world, books are extremely precious and can only be held by nobles.

If the books in this collection were to be auctioned off casually, it would probably cause quite a stir.

I don't know how much time passed... Roger finally put down the book and walked away from the bookshelf.

He went to the workbench.

In the deepest drawer, I found something that looked like a postcard.

The handwriting was neat and old-fashioned, like the instructions left by the laboratory's owner before leaving:

To the intruders

"My name is Laplace, and I am often referred to as the Dragon King, the Dragon God, or the Demon Dragon God."

"I bear the mission of defeating the gods and men, and everything here is part of my preparations for that purpose."
