The Shadow of God doesn't seem to have such a thing as a base.
Rogge was soon led by the mysterious man to an ordinary house and saw the person he was going to meet.
There is three.
One is the Shadow Leader, the other should be the potion master among the Shadow of God, and as for the last one, Rogge guessed that it might be his guard or something.
They all looked very ordinary, just like the common civilians in the royal city.
However, Rogge knew very well that they were using a special camouflage technique, a special kind of mud, which the mysterious man also gave to Rogge.
The mysterious man signaled to Rogge with his eyes, then took out a sound-blocking bead from his arms and covered the five people.
After doing all this, the mysterious man finally began to introduce himself.
"Captain Roger, this is the leader of our God's Shadow, Shadow Chief Karen."
"These two are our potion master Suman and the prophet Theoride."
"As for me, you can call me A-Zuo."
The mysterious man Azo introduced them with a smile, and the few of them looked like ordinary friends meeting and introducing themselves.
After looking at the prophet Theoride, Rogge looked away and greeted the three people.
To be honest, this meeting was a little different from what he had imagined.
He originally thought that the Shadow of the Descendants of God would be an underground organization, and the Shadow Leader might be a very high-ranking leader, and the meeting place should be in a very mysterious place.
However, this assumption is obviously somewhat inconsistent with the current situation.
But it was obvious that the Divine Shadow was not teasing him.
Because Rogge could clearly see that the ranks of the two people opposite were both [Supernatural], and the rank of Shadow Leader was [Apostle].
"Hello, Captain Roger."
"I'm sorry that the place where I receive you is a little shabby."
The shadow leader nodded slightly towards Roger, and the potion master Suman beside him took out a box and placed it on the table.
"This is the tear crystal of the book collection eyeball you need."
After pushing the box towards Roger, Shadow Leader spoke again.
"I have been looking forward to this meeting for a long time."
The shadow leader smiled.
"You probably have a lot of questions to ask."
Hearing this, Rogge pondered.
He did have a lot of questions to ask the figure in front of him.
Now that the other party has spoken, he no longer hesitates and directly raises the question that he is most concerned about.
"Why do you take me so seriously?"
"Logically speaking, I am just an ordinary transcendent. There should be no shortage of transcendents among you, the Shadow of the Gods, right?"
Rogge stared at the shadow leader, trying to find some clues from his expression.
But when the shadow leader heard this, he just smiled slightly.
But the prophet Theoride beside him spoke at this time.
"Captain Roger, you are special."
Very special
Rogge frowned, and many questions suddenly popped up in his mind.
But soon the prophet began to explain again.
"Azo should have told you that there is a prophet beside the Hero King Ozurick."
"That prophet is my ancestor."
After saying that, without waiting for Rogge's response, he took out the cups on the table and placed them in five directions.
"When our ancestors followed the Hero King to establish the Thousand Island Kingdom, they searched the five seas for all kinds of ancient knowledge, and finally discovered something extremely surprising..."
At this time, the prophet stretched out his hands, formed a circle around the five cups, and gradually closed them together, as if he wanted to swallow up the five cups.
"In the five seas, every few hundred years or so, there will be a catastrophe of annihilation level. This catastrophe will last for decades or even hundreds of years."
"And the source of these catastrophes comes from the boundless mysterious sea outside the five major seas."
"Disasters will come one after another like the tide, and like waves, they will continue to wash over the five seas."
"So, this catastrophe is also called..."
“Big wave.”
The prophet withdrew his hand, his tone very serious.
After hearing this, Roger frowned even more tightly.
Old Yao Ding had told him before that the big wave had appeared more than 800 years ago.
But is there any necessary connection between this and the importance that the Shadow of the Gods attaches to him
It seemed that he noticed Roger's doubts.
The Prophet was quick to respond.
"The great waves were beyond human control, so after our ancestors discovered this, they discussed it with the King of Heroes, and the two came to the conclusion... to flee from the five seas."
"For this, the Hero King and our ancestors made preparations for us. They created the Fire Ship on Ozurik Island and hid it in the three corners of Ozurik."
“If a big wave comes, people in the five seas can take this fire ship and sail to the outside of the Strait of Atonement.”
"but… "
The prophet's gaze towards Rogge gradually deepened.
"Even the Fire Seed Boat can only accommodate a limited number of people, and the current Fire Seed Boat lacks a crucial material in order to pass through the Strait of Atonement."
"This thing is called meteorite floating sand."
"... So that's why you asked me to go look for falling objects?" Hearing the word "meteorite", Rogge reacted immediately.
"Yes, according to the prophecy, there is a large amount of meteorite floating sand in the falling objects this time. We hope you can bring it back. This is indeed one of our goals."
"In my opinion, you are the only one who can bring enough meteorite sand from the falling objects and get the opportunity here."
The Prophet nodded.
"How much?"
“Take as many as you can.”
After hearing this, Rogge was silent for a moment.
With an inventory, he can indeed carry a large number of items of the same type.
It seems that the extraordinary power in this world is indeed magical. The prophet's predictive ability even takes his ability to have an inventory into account.
"… Why must the Spark Barge be used to carry people? Can't we use ordinary boats to cross the Strait of Atonement?"
Roger raised his own question.
In response, Shadow Chief shook his head, took over the prophet's words, and began to explain for Rogge.
"The Strait of Atonement is a special terrain that has existed since ancient times. The strange thing about it is that when a small boat passes through it, it will only be attacked by powerful supernatural creatures, while a large ship will be directly swallowed by it."
"And the meteorite floating sand can prevent the Fire Seed Boat from being swallowed by the power of the Strait of Atonement, and can smoothly reach the outside of the Strait of Atonement."
"Is it safe outside the Strait of Atonement?" Rogge asked.
"It's certainly not safe outside the Strait of Atonement. It's filled with extraordinary and strange creatures, and there are large tracts of unknown areas."
"However, over the past few hundred years, many people have left the five major seas. They have explored a small number of unknown areas. Although there are still dangers in these known areas, they are much better than the dangers of the big waves."
The film leader explained patiently.
Hearing this, Rogge nodded and thought: "So... that's why you came to me to make such a deal?"
"So what does this have to do with the sword ceremony?"
"His Highness Radi will be recognized by the Sword of Odakiro and crowned king." The prophet said calmly, with certainty in his voice.
"Only His Highness Radi can shoulder the heavy responsibility in this time of crisis and leave a spark of survival for the humans in the five seas."
He said in an unquestionable tone.
His Highness Radi, that is, Kadi.
As for why the Shadow of the Descendants of God firmly believed that he could become king, needless to say, it must be the prophecy of this prophet or his ancestors.
When this guy Kadi was on the Green, he looked pure and natural all day long.
And he wasn't pretending.
But he suddenly realized something: "So you have already contacted him?"
The prophet nodded and said, "There was contact, but not much was told to him at the time, and he chose to leave the royal city and travel."
No wonder Cuddy started to hesitate when he heard that the Green was going beyond the Strait of Atonement.
I guess he also made a difficult choice between responsibility and freedom.
"The Mother Goddess Church is secretly supporting the Second Prince Anderson and may tamper with the sword-wielding ceremony. We will not let them get their wish."
"There may be a war by then, and we don't have many manpower at the moment, so I would like to ask you to protect His Highness Radi's safety."
The Shadow Leader said seriously.
"Do you have the confidence to defeat the Mother Goddess Church?"
Rogge heard this implication from his words. After all, if the Shadow of God failed in the war with the Mother Church, it would be useless for Kadi to come back then.
In response, the Shadow Leader just nodded slowly.
The potion master Su Man, who had been silent before, also spoke up at this time: "You can rest assured about this. We will resolve the dispute."
Hearing this, Rogge looked at the mysterious man Azo who was silent beside him.
"So, the content of our deal is to bring back the meteorite sand from the falling object and protect Kadi in the war?"
Seeing Rogge's eyes, Azo could only smile awkwardly.
His mission was just to bring some news to Rogge, and he didn't know much about the specific content.
Fortunately, the film leader also explained for him: "A Zuo was just delivering a message, and we didn't tell him so much about the inside story at the time."
Hearing this, Roger smiled in his heart.
The reason why Shadow Chief asked Azo to make the transaction vague is definitely not that simple.
He probably did this because he was afraid that A-Zo or himself would leak the news.
"If you have any other requests, Captain Roger, please feel free to ask. We will try our best to satisfy you as long as we can."
"But no matter what, I hope you will accept this deal and preserve the fire for the humans of the five seas."
The prophet stood up and saluted Rogge seriously.
The Shadow Leader, the potion master Suman, and the mysterious man Azo also stood up at this time.
"Okay, no need to do that. I accept the deal."
Roger waved his hand.
Even if it was for an apostle-level potion formula, he would accept the deal.
Besides, the content of their transaction has not changed much.
To put it simply, the two tasks are still to protect Kadi and explore falling objects from outer space.
"When the big wave comes..." Roger looked at them seriously, "Don't you plan to escape from the big wave?"
Hearing this, the shadow leader in front of Rogge remained expressionless.
"The responsibility given to us by the Hero King is to maintain the heritage of the Thousand Islands Kingdom and the peace of the five seas, so that mankind can have a large rear base where they can rest and recuperate."
"As the Shadow of God, we certainly can't all escape."
"There is limited space on the Fire Boat. A'Zuo and I will not leave."
The shadow leader's voice was calm.
Potion Master Suman and Prophet Theoride looked gloomy upon hearing this.
Their abilities are very special, and they must leave with the Fire Boat.
The mysterious man Azo remained calm, as if he had known about Shadow Leader's decision for a long time.
"… "
Looking at the four people in front of him, Rogge felt a little complicated.
“… I still have some questions.”
…
On the way back to the Green.
Roger looked at the large number of secret scrolls, recipes, books and materials in his inventory, not knowing what to say.
The potion master Suman gave him his accumulated potion formulas, potion formulas, and notes recording his knowledge and experience.
The apostle-level potion formula was also handed directly to him.
The Shadow Leader gave him some secret scrolls on magic and combat techniques, and a navigation map outside the Strait of Atonement.
The Prophet gave him many books of extraordinary knowledge and secrets.
I don't know whether they want to gain Rogge's trust or think that they might never return from this war...
Da da da…
On the way out of the royal city, a devout knight was leading a team of believers on patrol.
Rogge took a look and then looked away, passing by calmly.
The sword-wielding ceremony will begin in less than a week, and the Mother Goddess Church has already begun preparations.
Rogge also asked Yingshou.
If the Mother Goddess Church can really protect the Thousand Islands Kingdom from the disaster of the great wave as they said, then is it necessary for them to do so
The answer given by Shadow Leader was that no matter whether they had the ability or not, they could not hand over the future of the Thousand Islands Kingdom to a mysterious foreign church.
That’s right, the Shadow Leader directly stated that the Mother Goddess Church is an external force.
They directly used a local church in the Five Seas to be reborn as the current Mother Goddess Church.
Coupled with the fact that the Mother Goddess Church has revealed some strange clues, it is even more unbelievable.
Before leaving the royal city, Rogge stood on the slope of the road.
The towering royal palace is extremely luxurious, the tall buildings lined up one after another are gorgeous and prosperous, and the huge statue of King Ozurric seems to stabilize the entire royal city like a stabilizing force.
The thick city wall stretched endlessly, surrounding the entire central royal city, seemingly unbreakable.
There was a constant flow of people coming and going at the city gate, and everything seemed to be going in a good direction.
But what emerged in Rogge's mind was the brilliant sunset on the sea level before falling into the polar night...
…
After returning to the Green, Roger began to make potions without stopping.
Mira's matching potion is [Reader].
Nomi's matching potion is the [Hunter] given by the potion master Suman.
He also gave Rogge the corresponding main ingredients of the potion.
This means that Rogge has gathered all the refining conditions.
The next step is to refine the corresponding magic potions for the two crew members to make them true extraordinary people.
The next crisis will come like waves, one after another.
If they don't speed up their pace of becoming stronger, they will never have a chance to catch their breath.
So, Rogge transformed himself into a ruthless refining machine and began to refine medicine continuously, never getting tired of refreshing its quality.
[Preparing potion... ]
[Magic potion being prepared...]
[You performed exceptionally well during the refining process, and the quality of the potion has improved. ]
[Refining succeeded, you obtained Reader (Potion) x 1.]
[Refining succeeded, you obtained Hunter (Potion) x 1.]
