The swamp of corruption, the city-state of Barsato.
Although it was liberated like other city-states in the Swamp of Corruption, the liberation of the city-state of Barsato was a relatively late event, and its will to resist was particularly strong.
Of course, when the Black Tide Secret Society's troops actually arrived, Barsato's will to resist was obviously weakened a lot.
Because those who resisted fiercely were thrown into the swamp...
However, people have different personalities. There are reckless resisters and naturally despicable conspirators. Although the disturbances they cause are not big, they are like a poisonous sore that cannot be cured for a long time...
In a messy room.
The young man sitting on the chair with his head down was motionless, as if he was sleeping because of being too tired.
However, the blood flowing from his neck tells the truth.
If nothing unexpected happened, this kind of injury would basically mean that both feet were in the coffin and the coffin lid was about to be closed.
But it was obvious that a hand had lifted the coffin lid off...
"Hmm... cough!"
The young man who was sitting on the chair with his head down suddenly woke up. The strange feeling in his neck made him cough violently.
After a moment, he frowned and his eyes became a little clearer.
Then he touched his neck and was startled by the sticky blood.
But it was obvious that there was no wound on his neck.
It was hard to accept all this suddenness. The young man took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, calmed himself down and began to sort out the fragmented memories in his mind.
"I am… "
"Varissa's..."
"No, it's Bartholomew's..."
The two completely different yet equally fragmented memories made his eyes involuntarily appear confused, and his expression also showed a hint of pain.
The two memories were entangled and stuffed into a soul that had been sleeping for a long time.
After a moment, he finally came to his senses and let out a breath.
"My name is... Vic, an apprentice potion scholar at Barthator College..."
He muttered to himself.
As the memories entangled, the more complete memory obviously took the lead for the time being.
But the soul is still the same soul.
After establishing his own name, Vic seemed to regain his sanity and began to observe the surrounding environment.
Looking at the blood on the ground that had not yet completely dried up, some fragments of memory resurfaced. Reason connected those trivial fragments of memory together and outlined what happened.
"Someone entered the room while I was reading a book on material properties and slit my throat to death."
After these words emerged in his mind, Vic couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He moved his body and leaned slightly against the wall to take in everything in the room, and then he felt a little safe.
However, at this moment, a mysterious black mist suddenly emerged, condensed into a ball, and finally transformed into a black cat sitting on the table, licking its paw gracefully.
"Awake?"
The black cat looked at him and made a human sound.
Such a sudden change naturally made Vic tremble. He subconsciously took a step back and looked at the black cat vigilantly.
"Relax, the man who slashed your neck is not here now."
The black cat stood up and stretched his body comfortably.
"Who are you?" Vic calmed down, but the vigilance in his heart did not dissipate.
"Good question." The black cat didn't look at him, but just replied lazily: "To be honest, I don't know. To be precise, I don't have a name yet."
"Of course, I'm not actually interested in names or anything like that."
After stretching its body, the black cat lay down again, looking nonchalant.
Vic was a little confused by the black cat's answer, but he instinctively felt that this black cat was not an easy character to deal with. Since he couldn't get any useful feedback, he'd better leave here quickly.
"… If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Vic faced it and moved towards the door step by step. After opening the door, he quickly quickened his pace.
The black cat just wagged its tail and glanced at him.
As Vic went downstairs, he saw the familiar black cat at the top of the stairs.
"Don't run away. I'm inside your body. I can't get rid of it."
The black cat seemed a little impatient. If it had a choice, it would have left this guy long ago.
"Who are you and what is your purpose?"
Seeing this, Vic calmed down.
Judging from the abilities displayed by this black cat, he really couldn't get rid of its teleportation-like ability alone.
In that case, let's talk about it...
"Shouldn't you be concerned about why you suddenly came back to life and what you're going to do next?"
Black Cat said.
Vic's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Brother, how can I have time to think about these issues
The most important thing for me now is to find a relatively safe place to protect my life...
This is just like asking someone whether the first thing they do in the morning is to rinse their mouth or wash their face.
In fact, everyone opens their eyes first...
As if aware of some of Vic's thoughts, the black cat couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I was born not long ago, and my purpose is to guide and help you."
"Come to think of it, it should be closely related to your memory of Varissa or something."
Varissa…
When this word was mentioned, some fragments flashed through Vic's mind involuntarily.
However, they were only partial scenes about Varissa, while the information about himself seemed to be shrouded in fog and was unclear.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a towering giant that looks like a walking god...
"Did you remember anything?" After taking a look at his appearance, Black Cat stood up and shook his head slightly: "I guess it's pretty bad."
"Since there is no gain, and there is no way to explore the secret of your resurrection, then I only suggest you do one thing..."
"Go take a shower, change clothes, and then go to class."
"Can you see my memories?" Vic frowned and was shocked.
"I know a little, but it's not the mind-reading you think." The black cat seemed a little impatient: "And there is a schedule on your desk."
After saying that, the black cat tiptoed and sat quietly on the railing, no longer paying attention to Vic.
Seeing this, Vic frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then turned around and went back to the room as the black cat said.
After Vic left.
The black cat's wagging tail suddenly stopped, and its expression changed from annoyed and arrogant to melancholy.
"Great Lord... Where are you... Why don't you give me a name..."
…
Rogge discovered something very interesting in the border fog.
A mini Lilliput country!
[You have arrived at: Mini Country (0.87%)]
[Mini Country: This is a complete country, a thriving civilization. The only difference is that the people here are all short... But don't underestimate them. If you make them angry, they can still hit your toenails when they jump up.]
This introduction is absolutely amazing.
If it was a monster or a secret treasure, he would probably just kill it or take it away without saying a word and then continue on his way.
But if it is a Lilliputian country...
Then you must stay and take a look!
Rogge floated in the air under the mysterious power and black tide, and came to the top of this small country and began to observe it carefully.
This Lilliput country also has medieval-style architecture, with prominent buildings such as the royal palace and churches.
However, there is another thing that makes Rogge feel strange, that is, the little people in these Lilliput countries have relatively big heads.
It's top-heavy and looks a bit like something out of an anime.
“My legs have been through a lot.”
Roger was amazed.
Such body proportions are not crushed by the head. It can only be said that it is fortunate that this is a mysterious world.
In fact, there is nothing that Rogge wants in this Lilliput country.
When he scanned with his mental power, he found a magical sword in the palace, guarded by a knight.
But he has no use for it. Can he use it as a toothpick to pick his teeth
So the reason why Rogge stayed here for so long was purely for fun.
"Watch for another ten minutes and then leave."
Rogge chuckled and continued to scan the group of villains with his mental power.
On the coast, two little men were looking at the huge waves in the distance and chatting idly.
"Alas, when can we cross the terrifying waves and see the outside world..."
"Why do we have to go out? We are living well here."
"Aren't you curious about the outside world? Maybe there are giants like in legends..."
"Giant? A dwarf is more like a giant. I think you are really stupid. It's hard to say whether there are still living people out there..."
…
A few days later.
Vic has gradually come to understand what kind of world he is in now.
Similarly, he slowly got used to having a strange black cat next to him.
"The people who harmed me should be the remnants of the nobles active in the city-state of Barsato..."
"Although I asked for leave from my teacher, I can't hide the fact that I'm still alive, and I can't reveal my resurrection to anyone. The only way is to find a way to gain extraordinary power as soon as possible..."
Vic was anxious.
His situation was not optimistic. He had no idea about his potential enemies, and he could not reveal the fact of his resurrection. He could not trust anyone now.
The black cat noticed his anxiety, but it was not worried.
"Want a potion recipe?"
The black cat said leisurely.
Vic's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Do you have a potion formula?"
He himself was an apprentice potion scholar, so naturally he had some knowledge about potion preparation, but potion preparation required a recipe, and his current learning progress in the academy was not enough to obtain the potion recipe.
Moreover, even if one is qualified to obtain it, it is probably just some low-end potion formula, such as the ripening farmer, fisherman or something like that... Such potions are simply not enough to fight against the enemies lurking in the dark.
This situation made Vic extremely anxious, and he even had the urge to escape from here.
But it would be a different story if the mysterious black cat could come up with a potion recipe.
Of course, it would be even better if the black cat could also solve the potion ingredients.
"Of course." Black Cat nodded: "But you have to agree to one condition of mine."
"What conditions?" Vic frowned slightly. He actually didn't believe the Black Cat, but there was no way. He couldn't get rid of this guy.
"Go meet the one who created me." said the black cat.
"…" Vic was silent for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, but at least we have to wait until I become stronger."
"Of course." Black Cat said with a matter-of-fact look on his face: "If you are too weak, you will definitely not be able to meet my creator."
There is a natural sense of pride in the black cat's words.
This wasn't the first time this had happened, and to be honest, Vic had no idea why the black cat had such a natural sense of pride.
You've clearly never met your creator, and he didn't even bother to give you a name...
Vic couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he wouldn't show it on his face, otherwise the black cat would definitely turn against him, and he still had to rely on its magic potion formula...
…
Rogge is now moving very fast.
This is thanks to the vast territory of faith that he now controls.
The amount of faith power that the believers under the Black Tide Secret Society can provide him with every day is now a huge number, and the consumption to support his teleportation is almost negligible.
After passing through the border fog.
Rogge finally arrived at the last location pointed by the underwater cave pointer.
However, when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but frown, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Is this a... continent?"
At this moment, in front of him, a vast land appeared in his sight. The lush forests, towering peaks and long coastline all told of the vastness of this land.
Then, Rogge's mind moved, and his mental power spread out instantly. Then he began to move quickly and manually measure the land.
After a moment, he withdrew his mental strength and became thoughtful.
"It can't be called a continent, but it is the largest island I have ever seen."
"There is no kingdom, no intelligent race, only some giant monsters, rich mineral deposits, a relic buried underground, and the entrance to the underwater cave is also here..."
"Well, a lost ancient civilization..."
He quickly figured out the general situation on this huge island.
This gave him a pleasant surprise.
Unexpectedly, when he came to look for an underwater cave, he actually found a huge uninhabited island.
This is almost like discovering a new continent.
Rogge instantly had the idea of "colonization".
But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea for the time being.
If they want to make this island a territory under the rule of the Black Tide Secret Society, they must at least wait until the Black Tide Secret Society has the ability to cross the border fog on a large scale.
Of course, he could teleport people over to live here.
But he didn't intend to do that.
Both the Black Tide Secret Society and the people under its rule need to grow on their own. He can't always chase after them and feed them every day.
"Let's check the cave entrance first."
After suppressing the rest of his thoughts, Rogge leaped towards the center of the giant island.
Along the way he encountered many huge monsters.
These giants have one thing in common, which is that they all retain some characteristics of marine life.
One ball a day!
