Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: Subsequent Arrangements

This is the most stable way.

However, with Orsted's current state, he may not be able to beat the Human God. At this time, Roa needs to find a way to contribute and restore the Dragon Boss to a state where he can almost pull out the Godsword.

The current Dragon Boss has exhausted most of his magic power because he had a fight with Roa. Going up to duel with the Human God in this state is clearly letting the Dragon God go to his death.

But the Dragon Boss's own blue recovery rate is terribly low. If you expect the Dragon Boss to recover his blue to the full, you have to wait until when.

Fortunately, Roa has corresponding means.

That is life drain.

This skill can transfer one's magic power to others. There may be some losses in the transfer process, but it still barely makes up for the Dragon Boss's shortcoming of using a little blue and losing a little blue.

The Dragon Boss who lacks blue and is anemic disappears, and now what appears is the Dragon Boss with Roa's charging treasure!

After Roa played a stalk in his heart, he casually said: "I'll return the Godsword to you."

The Godsword is still in Roa's hands. It is impossible for Roa not to be envious of this a++ long sword.

But unfortunately, the Godsword is powerful, but he can't control it at all. Even now, Roa can't use the system to see through all of its effects.

The attributes of the Godsword must be very powerful, there is no doubt about it.

But being strong is strong, but there is no way to use it, and it is useless to hold it myself.

As for why he didn't return it to Orsted, one part is that he can't completely trust the other party, and the other part is that Orsted didn't have the nerve to ask for it, so Orsted has always defaulted that the Godsword is in Roa's hands, and didn't say anything.

Orsted originally thought that Roa would not mention the Godsword, but he didn't expect Roa to say this at this moment.

Orsted looked at Roa, and Roa also looked back.

Two pairs of golden pupils met, and Orsted saw a kind of sincerity in the boy's eyes, and the golden pupils reflected Orsted's stern and serious expression.

Orsted was silent for a while, and asked, "Why return it to me? You shouldn't trust me yet, right?"

Hearing Orsted's words, Roa laughed.

Roa patted Orsted on the shoulder. Although Orsted was a head taller than Roa, this did not prevent Roa from being able to pat the other party's shoulder. Roa smiled and said, "We are now standing on the same front."

When Roa said this, he paused and looked at Orsted again.

Orsted nodded slightly, seeming to accept this explanation.

However, Roa's next sentence made Orsted's originally calm heart ripple.

"Besides, haven't we already become friends? We should be sincere to friends, right?"

Roa's eyes stared directly at the Dragon God's expression, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at this moment, with that gentle smile.

Roa's words, how much is true and how much is false, Orsted doesn't know, but what the boy said is what Orsted has never heard.

'Friend', a familiar but unfamiliar term.

Hundreds of reincarnations have never heard such a sentence, but at this moment, it was said so simply by the boy.

Orsted still had a cold face, but at this moment, the corners of Orsted's mouth actually raised a little, revealing a smile that could hardly be called a smile.

Roa took Orsted's expression into his eyes, and Roa shrugged.

Roa admitted that he was playing the emotional card, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

It can be seen that Orsted should be a very emotional person.

It is actually very easy to deal with such people.

Of course, the premise is that you have to be able to withstand Orsted's cold expression.

Roa took out the a++ strange long knife from the fairy's pocket, and shook it in front of Orsted's eyes and said: "Don't cut me with this knife again, it hurts."

Orsted was silent for a while, and finally reached out and took the long knife.

Seeing Orsted take the Godsword, Roa casually said: "Then let's go, let's observe the development of the situation here."

Orsted silently watched Roa's back. After Roa had walked some distance, Orsted murmured, "If you don't betray me, then in the future, you will be my only true friend."

Orsted gently stroked the sheath of the Godsword, a complex expression in his eyes. He then looked again at Roa's receding figure and followed Roa's steps.

Spring did not arrive as expected. After the blizzard, it started to rain heavily.

Dark clouds gathered overhead. Just a few days ago, the sky was clear and cloudless, but in an instant, it had turned into this oppressive scene.

Roa and Orsted sat quietly in the courtyard. The courtyard was small, with only a table and three stone chairs. To better observe the magic orbs gathering above, Roa chose to do further observation outdoors.

And this was the small courtyard Roa constructed with earth magic.

With Roa's level of magic control, building a house of this size was effortless. With a slight flick of his fingers, it was built.

At the moment, Roa and Orsted were chatting idly.

In fact, they didn't have much to talk about, and most of the so-called conversation was Roa talking while Orsted listened. It was easy for the conversation to die down.

But after so many awkward silences, the two had gotten used to it.

Roa, bored, directly brought over the game of Gomoku from his past life in China. He carved a few lines on the stone slab, placed black and white stones, and began to teach the Dragon God the rules.

As for why Gomoku and not Go, the reason was simple: he didn't know how to play Go. He was just an ordinary high school student who usually liked to play games and watch anime. He only knew about Go from Douluo Continent and that there was a Dragon King in Japan, but nothing else.

He could show off a little with Gomoku, and it was easy and quick to learn.

The two were currently playing this game called Gomoku.

This was also a way to pass the time when bored.

Roa looked up at the changing weather and said helplessly, "Looks like it's going to rain again."

Orsted hummed softly, his eyes scanning the chessboard on the table, while his mind pondered his next move.

Roa, taking advantage of Orsted's unfamiliarity with the rules, slaughtered him all the way, winning more than a dozen games with his not-so-superb chess skills.

But this simple game was easy to figure out with a little thought.

Orsted wasn't stupid. Although he couldn't be called a genius, he was calm and patient enough to think for a long time about each move in Gomoku.

As they played, Roa gradually felt the pressure.

Of course, the game was secondary. Their focus was still on the magic orbs gathering in the distant sky.

"How do you plan to deal with the Human God?"

Seeing that Orsted wasn't very interested, Roa changed the subject. He thought that Orsted would be very interested in any information about the Human God.

And in fact, Orsted was indeed very interested. Or rather, Orsted always treated anything related to the Human God with a cautious attitude.

Orsted thought for a moment and said, "Seal him, I can only seal him in that world."

Roa continued to ask, "Still no way to kill him?"

Orsted nodded and said, "The Human God stole divine power. He cannot die. If he dies, this world will collapse."

That was Orsted's explanation for why the Human God couldn't be killed. As for more details, the Dragon God just shook his head, saying that he didn't know much.

Sealing was the Dragon God's way of dealing with the Human God.

And the Dragon God's idea was simple: go to the world of nothingness, find the Human God, beat him up until he was convinced, and then use magic to strengthen the original loose seal. If there was any magic left, he wouldn't mind casting a few more god-level spells.

Once the Human God could be sealed, things would be much easier.

As long as the Human God could be sealed, they could get rid of this damned cycle.

But the difficulty lay in how to deal with the Human God.

Orsted looked at Roa, then at the four white stones in a row on the board. He put down the black stone and sighed, "What do you think?"

Roa shrugged at Orsted's question. "What do I know? I don't know anything, so what can I think?"

Orsted frowned. "But I feel like you know a lot."

Roa laughed. "I do know a lot, but you might be disappointed this time. I really don't know."

"Alright then." Orsted's expression returned to its original coldness. He reached out and pushed the white stones to Roa's side, then put the black stones back into his pile.

Orsted skillfully took out a black stone and placed it on the board first, saying to Roa, "Let's continue."

The gloomy sky finally unleashed a heavy rain, which poured down and engulfed the entire world.

The white snow was covered by the rain, and the ice and snow began to melt because of the raindrops.

The small courtyard couldn't withstand the heavy rain after all. The small pavilion could withstand the falling snow, but it couldn't block the wind and rain.

Roa and Orsted returned to the town, soaked.

Standing in the inn, Roa couldn't help but complain, "Why did we have to sit there like idiots, getting rained on, when we knew it was going to rain?"

Saying this, Roa pointed to his clothes, which were soaked by the rain, with a complaining tone.

But Orsted just glanced at Roa coldly and said, "You could have used magic to build a house, but you didn't. You could have used magic to isolate the falling rain, but you didn't."

Saying this, Orsted didn't continue.

But his meaning was quite clear: he was disgusted.

In modern terms, it would be: "Are you complaining?"

Roa just smiled and said, "Well, it's been a long time since I've been rained on. I wanted to experience it. In this long life, it's interesting to experience being rained on."

Orsted snorted and simply commented, "Boring."

Roa laughed and said, "Boring? Maybe sometimes, these boring things mixed together are more valuable."

Orsted ignored Roa and just stared coldly at the sky above.

The heavy rain didn't end as quickly as expected. It rained for a whole day before the rain gradually subsided.

Roa took Orsted again to check the surroundings, confirming that the magic power had indeed gathered to a rather exaggerated level and that there might be a risk of an explosion.

Orsted said, "It's about time. We need to act faster."

Roa agreed with Orsted and nodded slightly. "Then I'll notify that guy Philip first and tell him to clear out the city quickly."

In fact, Roa had mentioned this before, and now he was just telling him to hurry up.

Roa and Orsted weren't good at this kind of thing. It was more convenient to leave it to someone who was good at it.

And Roa hated troublesome things. In Roa's opinion, this was a troublesome thing. Organizing people to evacuate and arranging accommodation for the remaining people was always a thankless task. Roa was too lazy to do these things and directly assigned the task to Philip.

But at the moment, Roa and Orsted didn't seem to have anything to do.

The plan had been set, and all that was left was to find a good time to execute it.

Both of them were adjusting their condition.

Roa was waiting for his mana to recover, and Orsted was waiting for Roa to replenish his mana after it recovered.

When to act actually depended on Roa.

Of course, just waiting like this wasn't a good idea.

Finally, Roa opened the system panel and fell into thought as he looked at Aqua's world.

While he had nothing to do, he might as well speedrun that world.

He had stayed in that world for too long, and it was time to end it.

After chatting with Orsted for a few words, Roa said directly, "I have something to do. I have to leave for a while."

Orsted frowned and looked at Roa. "Something to do? Do you need my help?"

Roa shook his head. "It's my own business. I can handle it."

Orsted didn't insist, but asked, "A few days?"

"A few days" referred to how long Roa might be gone.

If it was a short time, then it probably wasn't a big deal.
