People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

"I know."

Before Roger could finish, he interrupted and said, "Mr. Roger, I know everything you said."

"The Night of the Black Knife caused the first death of a demigod in history. I know these things better than you, Mr. Roger."

"That's not what I want to ask. I want to know if you and your friend D have ever attempted to reach the dead prince's resting place."

His words made Roger open his mouth, but no sound came out for a while, then he said calmly: "Oh, so you know the relationship between me and D..."

"...Yes, he is an old friend of mine. We both want to explore death, so we have traveled together."

"But we eventually went our separate ways and haven't crossed paths since."

"...So-called friends are probably like this."

At this point, Roger's spirits became a little dispirited, and his eyes became dim.

Reinhardt saw all of this.

He also knew a lot about Roger and D.

Roger hopes to correct the distortion of the world and allow the Deadborn to return properly.

D is a loyal supporter of the Golden Rule. He believes that the Deadborn have deviated from the truth, are a threat to the existence of the Golden Rule, and should be completely eliminated.

It was also because of their different ideas that the two people completely parted ways.

Hearing this, Reinhardt felt somewhat certain, but in order to confirm his inner thoughts, he asked again:

"So, you did attempt to reach the dead prince's resting place, correct?"

"...Yes, we once reached the inverted channel of the Shivra River and tried to reach the resting place of the dead prince from there, but we failed."

Roger shook his head, looking lost.

At this point, he was able to confirm his inner thoughts.

As he knew, D had two consciousnesses and two bodies.

One is the older brother Darien, and the other is the younger brother Davin.

What he guessed was that after parting with Roger, his younger brother Davin reached the Shivra River aqueduct according to his brother Darion's memory, and through there reached the throne of the dead prince, and then used a brass dagger to cut off half of Godwin's centipede ring.

Then, through the flow of the Shivla River, the half of the centipede ring was delivered to the Shuihuan Village, into the hands of his brother Dallion.

Because of his appearance, Fia, who was supposed to be there, did not appear at the resting place of the dead prince.

Therefore, if we go to the throne of the Prince of Death now, we might be able to find the brass dagger that was broken by the Rune of Death.

He didn't know what the two brothers wanted to do with the Centipede Ring, but he didn't need to. It was enough to know that half of the Centipede Ring was in the hands of his elder brother Dallion.

Now that the most crucial issue has been resolved, the next step is...

His eyes glanced at Roger who was on the verge of death.

Give it a try.

At this point, he is not 100% confident, but he can always give it a try.

Then he stretched out his hand towards Roger and said:

"Mr. Roger, please hold my hand."

176. Don't Seek Death, Don't Die Alien - Roger (4.1K)

“This is truly incredible…”

Roger stood up from his chair, staring blankly at his hands and his lower body which had already lost consciousness, his eyes full of disbelief.

It was clear that just a short while ago, his legs and waist were covered with black, ominous branches that grew out of his body after being eroded by dead roots, just like tree branches.

But now, it has disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

The lost vitality returned to this broken body and even recovered to its original state.

In addition, the dead air in the air also dissipated, but there was a smell of barbecue.

Originally, Roger thought he was dead, and even saw the calling ship waving at him, but he didn't expect that the situation would take a turn and he would be pulled back.

It is true that things in this world are unpredictable. The big intestine contains the small intestine, and each intestine is different.

Roger, feeling as if he were living in a dream, pinched his thigh hard and found that it really hurt.

Then he raised his head and looked at Reinhardt in disbelief.

"Mr. Rhine..., thank you for your helping hand and for helping me out of this misery..."

Roger only knew that Reinhardt had asked him to hold his hand, but after a burst of excruciating pain and an indescribable burning sensation, his body returned to normal and he was able to move freely.

Roger said that he had never seen such a miraculous thing before.

When he looked at Reinhardt, there was a bit of respect and curiosity in his eyes.

"But...how on earth did you do it?"

Roger, who once explored death with D and even experienced the erosion of death roots, is very clear about the power of death roots and their curse.

That was an existence that even the Golden Rule could not correct and completely eradicate, but how did this man, whom I met for the first time, do it?

"...This matter is my secret, and it is not convenient for me to tell you, Mr. Roger."

He immediately dispelled Roger's thirst for knowledge.

"Well, if that's the case, it's indeed something I shouldn't ask. Sorry."

When Roger heard that this was a secret, he gave up.

It is extremely impolite to pry into other people's secrets, especially since Reinhardt is his savior.

"However, I still want to thank you, Mr. Reinhardt. Thank you so much for allowing me to be reborn again..."

"This way, I can continue investigating the truth behind the Night of the Black Blade. That truth also affected the shattering of the Elden Ring and the outbreak of the Shattered War..."

"If we could learn the truth of that night, it would not only help repair the Elden Ring, but also help us find a way to restore the distortions in this world."

The twisted thing that Roger mentioned was naturally the corpse that was infected by the dead roots and awakened from death, as well as the dead prince Godwin who was entrenched at the roots of the golden tree and could be said to be neither dead nor alive.

Although the soul dies, the body is immortal.

Roger's mood at this time was also very complicated. While he was excited, he was also a little nervous and afraid.

Roger no longer wanted to experience that feeling of being on the verge of death again, but his curiosity kept urging him to clear the fog and find out the truth.

However, Reinhardt saw all the changes in Roger's expression and the activities in his heart. His pure black eyes seemed to see through Roger's heart, and he could tell at a glance what this guy was planning.

"He's really a guy who won't cry until he sees the coffin."

He complained silently in his heart.

At the same time, when Roger was planning his next move, he suddenly said, "Mr. Roger, I advise you not to continue investigating. That is not something you can touch, Mr. Roger."

Roger immediately raised his head and looked at him in confusion. "Mr. Reinhardt, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"I'm exploring the truth of the Night of the Black Knife because I believe that in order to correct the distortions in this world, I must first understand the causes of these events..."

"I know." He extended his hand to interrupt Roger. "Mr. Roger, I understand your thoughts very well. You are indeed working hard to make the borderland a better place."

"But...I still hope you can stop investigating..."

"This isn't a request, but a warning. It's also the price I pay for helping you, Mr. Roger, regain your life."

As he spoke, Reinhardt's smile gradually faded, becoming colder and his voice deepened. "Mr. Roger, whether you wish to correct the distortions of the world, or whether you hope to use this opportunity to become a scholar and uncover everything about the Junction, the truth about the Night of the Black Knife should never be uncovered."

"That involves the interests of many forces and many people. Once it is discovered, Mr. Roger, you and all those who know about it will be hunted endlessly."

"Even if I have two fingers, I won't let you go."

At the end of his speech, he deliberately emphasized his tone, sounding as if he was threatening Roger.

But then he changed the subject and said:

"There's an old saying in my hometown: 'Listen to advice and you'll have enough to eat.'

Mr. Roger....So please take care of yourself."

After saying that, he left the room without looking back, leaving Roger alone to think.

He has already said what needs to be said.

And what he said was not a threat to Roger, but the truth.

Even he still hasn't figured out how many people's interests were involved on the Black Knife Night.

But he was very clear about one thing: if Roger continued to investigate, it would only be a matter of time before he would come face to face with him, and he would also be hunted down by the emissaries sent by Two Fingers and the group of lawbreakers in Volcano Mansion.

Although with Roger's investigative ability, the final result of the investigation might be that Lani was to blame, but he found the black knife.

Then, in order to prevent future troubles, Shuangzhi will definitely find a way to get rid of Roger.

This is absolute, he can be sure of it having dealt with Two Fingers.

But then again, haven't I been working too much for nothing lately?

It seems like I haven't been paid for a while.

This can't go on, it will lead to downfall.

His biggest wish is to be an evil capitalist and enjoy a leisurely life with beauties on both sides, rather than being a busy worker who gets up early and goes to bed late to work for others for free.

It seems I need to go somewhere for further study when I have time...

At the same time, Roger was left there, staring blankly at his back.

Roger had not yet recovered from the shock, but he had grasped a lot of useful information from Reinhardt's words just now.

Many forces are involved...

He only knew that the Black Blade Night were a group of descendants from the Eternal City—

A group of assassins consisting only of female members, wearing clothes that have invisibility effects and silver armor.

The weapons they use, the black swords, are infused with the power of the Death Rune through ritual.

This was also what he learned, the truth behind the death of Godwin, the eldest prince of the Golden Dynasty, in the Night of the Black Knife.

But after hearing what Reinhardt said, Roger felt that there must be other very valuable truths in this Black Knife Night!

Even Roger thought of a new opening.

Perhaps we can find a way through Reinhardt and learn the truth of that night a thousand years ago...

Thinking of this, Roger had already made up his mind to follow quietly and find a chance to ask.

He completely ignored Reinhardt's warning.

It seems that he is not the type to listen to others' advice and eat a full meal, but the type whose curiosity kills the cat.

-------------------------------------

"Hey, look, someone's coming out."

"What was that scream just now? Could someone have dared to kill someone in the Round Table Hall?"

"...Don't be ridiculous. Killing someone in the Hall of the Round Table is completely insane. With Lord Baizhi and Lord Finger here, who would dare to do that?"

As soon as he walked out the door, Reinhardt saw many faded people gathered outside the door, talking together.

Some people would look at him from time to time.

I'm so tired, so alone

"They are indeed a mob..."

A group of Faded Ones gathered together, and instead of thinking about how to seize the fragments of the Ring, repair the Ring of Elden and become the King of Elden, they chose to gossip in the Round Table Hall.

It would be better to use this time to think about how to become stronger, or find a finger witch or something to get the two fingers to recognize me.

No wonder Ofnir looked down on this group of people. With these guys around, the Round Table Hall was completely rotten.

Really, there is no hope.

Just when he was feeling disappointed with this group of faded ones, Nefeli's figure suddenly appeared in the crowd and came in front of him.
