Chapter 932: Chapter 697: It’s , Still
“Need so healing herbs or treasures?”
Jora cast a puzzled glance at Roger. She had envisioned nurous possibilities, but never anticipated Roger’s request to be so simple.
After all, in her eyes, Roger was already imnsely powerful. A Transcendent of such caliber might lack rare treasures, but ordinary items…
“Is it difficult?”
“N-no… not really.”
“This isn’t a primary base, after all. The stored items are limited, and I fear they might not et your needs.”
Jora added humbly.
“It’s fine. I’ll make do with whatever you have.”
Roger replied shalessly. This was ideal—he wouldn’t have to worry about Jora imposing any limitations. He could take the chance to thoroughly comb through and seize everything that could be used for Sonia.
“You…”
Her eyes flickered with a hint of anger. At this mont, she heard Roger continue, “Also… how should we sever that special link?”
“So things I can refuse once, twice, but I can’t go on rejecting indefinitely, can I?”
Jora inwardly seethed, wishing she could slap this man to death, but ultimately, she could only grit her teeth and say, “I’m still working on it—give a bit more ti.”
“Alright then.”
“But hurry.” Roger displayed a troubled expression.
He wasn’t deliberately stirring Jora’s emotions out of boredom. Rather, before entering this place, Jora had actively brought up the matter of soul consciousness verification.
This was the aspect Roger was most concerned about. To prepare, he had leveraged the power of the Shadow Gate, projecting its energy onto Amanda, enveloping her completely.
Any external force attempting aggressive exploration would inevitably trigger backlash, creating an opening for Amanda to act.
This was rely a temporary asure, aiming to buy so ti.
Yet now, Jora hadn’t even ntioned the investigation from earlier—Roger didn’t believe she’d forgotten it due to anger.
The most likely explanation was that she had already conducted a check using thods Roger didn’t understand but hadn’t obtained definitive results.
Under these circumstances, naturally, he had to provoke Jora, giving her sothing to occupy her efforts. If push ca to shove, maybe he’d have to beat her into submission.
“Go on, go on.” Jora waved at the elder standing beside her, “Take him to the underground storage.”
“I want to go too!”
Amanda clung tightly to Roger’s arm, presenting an inseparable façade. Jora hesitated for a mont but ultimately nodded.
Just then, a blooming flower on the wall suddenly detached, igniting from its stem. Once the flas subsided, they revealed a youthful face projected within.
“Your Majesty the Queen, the area overseen by Loke has fallen!”
“It’s Heyman. He personally dispatched forces with unstoppable combat strength to destroy our defenses; now, ordinary people there are being slaughtered indiscriminately.”
“However, he only massacred the common folk—the Transcendents are still under his control. A ssage from the area says he seeks an audience with you.”
“Everyone is now furious—they hope you can lead us in a counterattack. Even if we can’t kill him, we must leave them with an unforgettable lesson!”
Behind the young man, faint commotion could be heard—it was clear he was rely a representative pushed to the forefront.
The average Transcendent was unaware that, beyond Heyman, a formidable black-robed figure from the Dragon Court had arrived in Sky City. Whether Jora went alone or rallied the crowd, the outco wouldn’t significantly differ.
“Your Majesty…”
An elderly voice erged. His deeply lined face was full of concern as the old man gently shook his head. He understood Jora’s past experiences and voiced adamant opposition.
The young man disregarded the surrounding interruptions. “Your Majesty, Heyman sent word: he simply wants to et you. He promises that if you et him, he will imdiately release all captured Transcendents.”
“In addition… he wishes to discuss the true whereabouts of Lady Dora.”
“He instructed to inform you that the one who left Ceylon Peak wasn’t truly Dora—he’s the only one who knows her actual location.”
Upon hearing this, Roger’s pupils constricted sharply, though he kept a casual façade.
Jora didn’t turn to inquire. Instead, she stretched out her hand, and a simple map materialized in the air. Imdiately, one section lit up and magnified.
It was the very region overseen by the captive Loke.
“Please proceed with caution,” the elder advised once again.
But Jora didn’t speak, despite knowing full well it was a trap. This ti, she had no choice but to step into it. As for the information Heyman ntioned, she didn’t take it too seriously.
Unbeknownst to Heyman, she had already located Dora.
anwhile, on the other side, despite his outward indifference, Roger began calculating rapidly in his mind.
He thought of one person—Chachi.
He had deceived Heyman, departing hurriedly at the ti, leaving Chachi with no chance to escape. Faced with Heyman’s thods, Chachi likely revealed everything.
Through Chachi’s account, it wouldn’t be hard to deduce the before and after—the implication being that Heyman now possessed the coordinates of another world.
Could he have already dispatched soone there?
Roger’s heart tensed.
“Don’t act recklessly—traversing world barriers isn’t so simple,” he reassured himself, gradually calming down to avoid making impulsive decisions amidst anxiety.
Taking the worst-case scenario, Chachi himself couldn’t have gone. If Heyman deployed agents for cross-world travel, they would certainly face constraints from the rules on the other side. That would ensure those remaining at Kaer Morhen a chance to deliver an unforgettable lesson to the invaders.
