Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 48 Do it again

The four magical objects in front of him were a white book, a dark red revolver, a black wide-brimmed hat and a pair of steel plain glasses.

Just from the appearance, Roger realized that the revolver should be a magical item that can be used to launch an attack, and the glasses may have some kind of insight effect.

As for the white paper and the wide-brimmed hat, Roger couldn't guess. He just felt that the style of the hat was the type he liked.

The puppet waiter began to introduce these things to Roger:

"This pistol is called the 'Firecracker Revolver'. It has a total of 6 shots, randomly firing either a fireball or a fire crow. It also has a 15% chance of firing a larger, enhanced fireball, but consumes 2 shots."

"Its side effect is that starting from the third shot, each subsequent shot will drain more and more of the holder's vitality. If the fireball effect is triggered, the vitality drained will be doubled."

Roger shook his head slightly. This was obviously a magical item related to the "Hunter" and "Arsonist".

Within safety limits, 3 rounds of fire can do too little, especially when facing multiple enemies, even 6 rounds are not enough.

Besides, Roger has no shortage of means of attack now, so he can put this kind of thing aside for the time being.

"'The Secret Book of Stealing' can steal up to three enemy abilities and record them for ten minutes.

"The more you understand the target, the easier it is to steal the abilities you want. If the target sequence reaches 5 or higher, the chance of failure increases."

The Fire Thief... Roger nodded slightly. He kind of wanted this thing.

"What about the side effects?"

"It must be used at least once a day, otherwise it will steal one of the holder's possessions, including but not limited to extraordinary abilities." The waiter said slowly.

"Including but not limited to extraordinary abilities, does this include the heart and brain... or something else?"

Roger felt a headache upon hearing this. If only his Beyonder abilities were stolen, it would be fine. But if a vital organ was accidentally stolen... or there was an extremely small probability that it was his "Judgment Star" high-sequence Beyonder characteristic, then it would be a big trouble.

Of course, he could also find some Beyonders to play with secretly every day, but this would require luck and there was no guarantee of a safe result.

"Go on, what is that wide-brimmed hat used for?" Roger nodded.

"The Astrologer's Hat allows the holder to temporarily gain the ability to observe the stars, perform astral divination, interfere with divination, and enhance spiritual intuition. It can also lock onto the whereabouts of the blood owner by directly feeding blood.

"The side effect is that the more you use it, the more likely you are to experience mental abnormalities."

This was clearly an Beyonder characteristic of the "Apprentice" pathway, but Roger still had two "Astrologer" Beyonders in storage, so he could definitely find a way to create one of these.

In addition, the astrological ability he possesses now is not much worse than that of the "Astrologer", so the "Astrologer's Hat" is a bit useless.

"The last one, the decryptor glasses."

"It can enhance the mastery of spiritual and mystical knowledge, while also improving observation, association, and deduction abilities, enough to assist the wearer in deciphering dreams, illusions, and the location of enemies for a period of time.

"The side effect is that the single wearing time cannot exceed 20 minutes, otherwise it will cause the wearer to fall into hallucinations and uncontrollable suspicions, and in severe cases may lead to murder or even suicide."

Two magical items from the "Thief" pathway, one from the "Hunter" pathway, one from the "Apprentice" pathway, three sequence 7, and one sequence 6.

Naturally, the "Hunter" and "Apprentice" paths were not considered. Roger immediately set his sights on the two extraordinary items of the "Thief" path.

After a brief thought, he reluctantly turned his gaze away from the "Book of Stealing Secrets" and pointed at the "Decryptor Glasses".

"I want it."

Although the Sequence 6 thief ability is indeed very tempting, it has too many side effects, and compared to strengthening the direct enemy ability, Roger currently needs to strengthen his own decryption ability.

Now he has been exposed to the sight of Ince Zangwill. At present, the other party is still in the trial stage. It is not ruled out that he will create more trouble for him in the future, or even directly use the "Gatekeeper"'s undead summoning ability to kill Roger.

While this certainly entailed certain risks, the advantage was that he didn't have to show up in person, and the chances of success were not low. If the other party had arranged in advance, causing Roger's "Oneness of All" ability to enter a cooldown, he could still face a bitter defeat.

Facing the fog created by the 0-08 "Pen of Al-Suhod", prevention is always more important than countering the attack, not to mention that Roger already had quite a bit of information, so the "Decryptor Glasses" would definitely play a significant role.

On the other hand, Roger still has something else he wants to figure out.

This was why, when he prayed to The Fool earlier, he summoned the gray fog that was unique to Sefirah Castle within the Spiritual Wall.

"Metis..."

Seeing Roger's choice, Mr. C immediately looked embarrassed.

These "decryptor glasses" also work for him.

If possible, he didn't want to hand it over to Roger, the "special envoy of God" who was his subordinate yesterday but suddenly became half a level higher than him today.

"C, although you are guilty of the attack on Chanis Gate, you still have a chance to be promoted to 'Shepherd'."

At this moment, the "Dark Saint" Xesma suddenly spoke, his tone half cold and half soothing.

Mr. C, who had a sad face, immediately became happy when he heard this.

This means that Xesma can temporarily stop pursuing his sins, and this pair of "Decryptor Glasses" can be counted as a credit for exchanging for the "Shepherd" extraordinary characteristic.

If that’s the case, that’s a great deal!
On the other hand, he suddenly felt a lingering fear of what he had just realized.

There was a clear warning in the tone of the "Dark Saint" Xesma just now.

"It seems that the saints really think highly of Metes... I must try to curry favor with him from now on."

Mr. C thought to himself.

After thanking Ksma and Mr. C respectively, Roger tried to put his glasses on his nose.

"Shooting... Tri-Union Company..."

"Ince... Lanevus..."

Countless pieces of information that were originally fragmented suddenly became visibly connected, and an unfounded idea emerged in Roger's mind.

He took off his glasses and sighed in his heart:
"It seems I still have to go find Amon later."

Even if he was unwilling a thousand or ten thousand times, all the clues indicated to Roger that it was necessary to go to the "Family Bar".

As for the surveillance of the Night Watchmen, he was not too worried.

The block where Amon was located had been almost completely blacked out by Him. If the Night Watchmen had the ability, they would have discovered the abnormality in that area long ago.

"Oh right... there's one more thing."

Roger looked up at Xesma and asked:
"Respected Lord Kesma, I have a request."

"You say." Somehow, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in Xesma's heart.

"Can I listen to my Lord's oracle one more time?"

Roger's smile was as warm as the spring breeze in March.
