Chapter 622 - Chapter 622 Chapter 543 Mountain Womans Request_2

Chapter 622: Chapter 543: Mountain Woman’s Request_2 Chapter 622: Chapter 543: Mountain Woman’s Request_2 “It was that man who came to look for me.”

“To save you, he made a promise to me,” the Mountain Woman snorted coldly.

“Roger.”

Uma spoke without surprise, “What conditions did he agree to with you?”

“That’s something between your master and me, and it’s none of your concern.”

The Mountain Woman glanced at Uma with a hint of mockery, but her words inevitably led to speculation.

“Oh… I see, you repressed old woman, after so many years you couldn’t take it anymore, could you?”

In the shadows, desires are more likely to grow, and Uma understood that feeling better than anyone.

The Mountain Woman’s face changed, and as she just raised her hand, she heard Uma slowly say, “Indeed, your affairs are none of my business, but I believe there is one thing, one place that must be related to you.”

“After spending so many years together, no one knows the scent on you better than I do.”

“In that place, I can actually sense a trace of an aura that is the same as yours. My friend, can you tell me why?”

Uma stared at the Mountain Woman.

“That is an illusion,” the Mountain Woman sneered, and then her body disappeared, reappearing in the real world.

“How is it?”

Roger asked eagerly.

“She’s fine, even if you want to do anything to her now, she can handle it,” the Mountain Woman said with implied meaning.

Just as Roger was about to speak, he heard a voice from the bottom of his heart, charming and weak, making the man who heard it wish he had two more kidneys.

“Dear master… I am so moved, you, for me, actually… actually paid such a great price!”

“There is nothing I can do to repay you, if you’re willing, I’m available anytime, anywhere!”

Roger kept a straight face; at this moment, he really wanted to ask Uma, who exactly was getting the better deal? Who was being rewarded?

He unilaterally blocked Uma’s following words; aside from her frequent harassing when it was unnecessary, she indeed could be considered perfect.

“Now it’s your turn,” Roger looked at the Mountain Woman.

“Don’t bother me again, I don’t want to see you.”

The figure of the Mountain Woman slowly faded away, but her parting words caused Roger’s eyebrows to furrow deeply.

Oftentimes, the things that are free are the most expensive.

“Wait!” He took a step forward, but the forest had already lost the figure of the Mountain Woman.

At this time, in the Shadow World, the Mountain Woman’s figure appeared; she looked at Uma, “I need your help with something.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Uma shook her head, “Although our sisterly bond is deep, I cannot go against the master’s orders.”

“It will not cause harm to that man,” the Mountain Woman’s eyes flickered, and just as Uma was about to refuse, she continued to say, “I can help you get that man.”

“At the same time…” she leaned in closer.

“It can make you stronger.”

“Deal!”

Uma did not hesitate, the smile on her face would shame any pair of sisters.

“Let’s hear it, what is it?” Uma asked.

However, the Mountain Woman shook her head, “It’s not yet time, his strength is too weak, perhaps… he’ll never reach that day.”

Shadow Cottage.

Uma sat upright, earnestly accepting Roger’s reprimand.

“…In any case, do not make decisions on your own without my permission next time.”

“Yes, master.”

Roger waved his hand to dismiss Uma, but he didn’t notice that as she merged back into the Shadow World, Uma’s eyes revealed a completely different expression than before.

Then she directly spoke, “Dear master, I must confess something to you.”

“”Just a short while ago, that woman made me a promise, hoping that one day in the future, she could have me do something for her.”

“Of course, these things won’t threaten your safety.”

“What promise?”

Roger asked.

“Make me stronger, and also…” Uma’s eyes shifted, hesitating to speak more.

Roger’s face darkened, instantly making a connection to something.

Uma then recounted to Roger in detail her exchange with the Mountain Woman.

At the end, she added a sentence.

“My master, in light of my honesty, may you fulfill a small request of mine to slightly compensate for my loss…”

“There’s plenty of time, we can talk about this another day.”

Waving his hand, he dismissed Uma unilaterally, his mind swirling with the chaos brought on by such exchanges, yet the information Uma provided sparked many thoughts in Roger.

“Shadow Fragments… a cage… and the Everworld at Sunrise, how could these things come together?”

Unable to sort through his thoughts, he decided not to dwell on them and after entering the Hunter’s Cabin, he went straight to his fairytale manuscripts.

Under normal circumstances, he might have had the leisure to wait, but circumstances had changed, and some matters required acceleration.

Goway was somewhat surprised by Roger’s arrival, but after a period of rest and adjustment, Goway’s people were in optimal condition.

They were prepared for the injection of the Green Grass Potion, both physically and mentally.

With their physical fitness, coupled with the modified Green Grass Potion, their chances of advancement were nearly 100%.

Roger now had the option to use the Green Grass Potion formula he had used before, the main ingredients of which could be found in Lilith’s collection.

The second option was to use the improved potion formula, which required the addition of Transcendent Materials from the Oriental World.

Roger surmised that the purpose of this was to avoid the suppression from the different rules of the two worlds as much as possible.

No, perhaps this was to restore the original essence of the Green Grass Potion as much as possible.

After much consideration, Roger decided to temporarily abandon the modified potion formula, as being in Everworld but limited by the unfamiliarity with the environment was not ideal.

Upgrading the Hunter’s Cabin was the priority.

Preparing potions wouldn’t take too much time, but Roger still allocated an extra day for members of the Secret Blood Family to acclimate.

Having done all this, he didn’t linger in the fairytale manuscripts, left a message for Amanda and Henrik in the real world, and went straight through the Shadow Cottage back to the Hundred-Eyes Monster’s cave.

By then, the sun had risen, and a new day had begun.

As the Shadow Cottage integrated, the Hundred-Eyes Monster’s cave was also enveloped within it, and by setting Higurashi Chika and her companions as temporary visitors, Roger called each of them to his room one by one.

The regenerative abilities of the Hunter’s Cabin were too peculiar, so he had to provide a plausible excuse, and being alone with each person was a way to conceal his motives.

Aoki Kazuo and Higurashi Chika were alright, accepting Roger’s methods despite their strangeness.

The only one who struck Roger as odd was Yukiko Morita, whose personality was truly unusual. Sometimes she appeared sharp and empathetic, but more often than not…

Like just now, upon entering Roger’s room, Yukiko’s expression even made Roger doubt whether he had done something to her in the past?

After awkwardly getting through the time, pretending to tap on the girl’s body, Roger restored her to a state where her injuries would not affect combat and hurriedly ushered her out the door.

Since Roger planned to stay here, the others had no objections, but once their combat prowess was restored, there was much more they could do.

Especially Aoki Kazuo; his arrival was unexpected but he had been genuinely helpful.

With his strength restored, he could control Paper Dolls with his Spiritual Power, which possessed ordinary combat abilities but could still serve a warning function.

More importantly, some of the Paper Dolls controlled by Aoki Kazuo had scouting abilities, allowing him to temporarily leave the cave and survey the surrounding terrain.

While there was no substantial progress, they still uncovered some scattered information.

The entire day passed quickly, and as night fell, everyone returned to the cave except for the alert Paper Dolls, while Roger went back to the Hunter’s Cabin.

Inside the fairytale manuscripts, Roger took out nine test tubes as well as other auxiliary potions.

If all went well, these nine people would all become Demon Hunter Apprentices, and Roger would embrace a brand new change.”
