I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

Alan's return was the best news Roger had encountered since his recuperation.

This means that while Paramount Manor has regained its master.

The secret of the Sera River will also be unraveled accordingly.

In Alan's old-fashioned tone as always.

Roger had an understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.

...

Alan's research on the Sierra began many years ago.

In confirming many ancient legends one by one.

He gradually discovered that the version of "The Guardian" was the closest to the real one.

The Sierra, and its upper Boundary, and that trail of death in the primeval forest—

They seem to be an unbreakable boundary line, preventing the creatures from the north from going south.

Any Passover.

would die like those warthogs.

This is like an artificial boundary!

Only the legendary boundary guards have the authority to open and close the boundary.

But the defenders of the Sela River have long since disappeared.

This led to the complete closure of the North.

at the same time.

Ember clouds, symbolizing destruction, began to appear frequently in the north.

Towns and cities were reduced to ruins: the unknown underground city, Tongma Town, Gray Rock City...

Follow this trend.

All gathering places in the north will be doomed.

This directly led to Wellington building a huge skeleton boat, trying to give it a go and hit the barrier of the Sierra River.

In front of the Ember Cloud and Jiehe.

Necromancers and Warthogs aren't really any different.

In order to completely solve this problem.

On the eve of the decisive battle between Roger and the giant ship of bones, Alan dropped everything and rushed to the source of the Sera River.

Roger didn't know what happened to him there, and what price he paid.

But when he came back.

He has become the guardian of the Sera River.

He is still Alan.

But he is different.

The sixth sense reminded Roger that the soul of the man in front of him was no longer complete.

Although he still straightened his body like the first time we met.

But the slightly drooping shoulders showed that what he was carrying now was probably 10,000 times heavier than when he was the lord of Dawn Town.

To this.

Roger had a thousand emotions in his mind.

He actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Alan.

But Alan told him with a smile:

"The defenders have the rules of the defenders."

"I can't tell you anything outside the rules."

Roger asked bluntly:

"I want to know the truth about the "Boundary River". Is it true that, as the legend says, all the creatures north of the Sera River are descendants of sinners? "

Alan shook his head, nodded again, his expression was a little tangled, and finally said implicitly:

"The sinner's statement is open to discussion. As for the truth about Jiehe, I can only tell you a few words."

"The first sentence, the more you go south, the higher the abundance of magic power. This phenomenon is not unique to the north of the Sera River, it is the same in the whole Mystra."

"Second sentence, Mystra is not the only boundary river."

Roger's eyes changed slightly.

These two sentences are very informative.

He read a lot.

But there are more things I don't understand.

However, he did not pursue the question, but turned to another topic:

"What about the Ember Cloud?"

In the past six months.

Roger is ostensibly keeping fit.

But he never stopped investigating Miejinyun for a moment.

He has been to Gray Rock City, the underground city, and Tongma Town.

He wandered under Yuntai Mountain for a long time, but did not find any clues.

A more sensitive piece of information is that Roger didn't find anyone's body!

Say no to corpses.

Not even blood.

Although all the buildings were destroyed, the people inside seemed to evaporate out of thin air.

in this case.

Roger would not jump to judgment on the nature of the Ember Cloud.

It's a pity that Talia is still in a severe state of autism, and Roger has no way of knowing from her what happened on the day when the Ember Cloud descended.

So he desperately wanted to learn the truth about Mie Jinyun from Alan.

...

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

Alan said slightly apologetically:

"About the description of Mie Jinyun, there are only a few words in the knowledge inherited by the defenders."

"When an area loses its defenders, the Ember Cloud will appear frequently; and when a new Guardian appears, the Ember Cloud will disappear."

"It's a very reliable rule."

Roger nodded slightly.

Alan's words gave him a lot of inspiration.

His thoughts became clearer.

In Roger's view.

Ember Cloud appears to be a passively triggered mechanic.

The triggering factors include "survival status of the guardian", "regional magic power abundance" and so on.

The issue is.

Who set up so many complicated mechanisms on this planet?

Combining the legend of the extermination of the world and the statement of the sinner.

Roger made a bold guess!

"Assuming that Mystra is the "prison" of the nine planets, then it all makes sense! "

"The prisons are all descendants of the most vicious people, the so-called descendants of sinners."

"The biggest criminal in the prison may be an ancient evil like Icadore."

"The destruction of the world by the gods is to attack the ancient evils and eliminate the descendants of criminals."

"Alan hinted that there are multiple boundary rivers, hehe, each boundary river is equivalent to a fence, dividing Mystra into each area; and each independent area is a prison cell!"

"Well, in this way of reasoning, the guardians are the jailers."

"And when there are no guards in a prison, there will be "Destroying Ember Clouds". The people who have been transferred to other "cells"..."

"As for the abundance of magic power... Lack of clues? No invalid reasoning."

for a while.

Roger's mind diverges infinitely.

"If this is the case? The resistance for me to leave this planet is even greater."

"As soon as I left Xinshou Village, I found out that I was actually in prison in the past, and I was going to prepare to escape from prison."

"Just? Pretty bald..."

Thinking of this? He couldn't help scratching his head, but there was a flash of excitement in his eyes.

But in the final analysis these are just Roger's analysis and guesswork.

What is the truth? Still need more clues.

And the clue is in the South!

nowadays.

The door to the South was open to him.

After Alan becomes the boundary guard, the Saila River Bridge will open normally.

The Jewel City is just around the corner.

"So."

Alan solemnly lengthened the ending:

"Do you need me to arrange a trial for you?"

"Adventurer?"

Roger shook his head quickly in refusal.

He's just a weak warrior now.

Can't stand too much fuss.

"In half a month."

I made an appointment with Alan.

Roger happily returned to Senluo Farm.

Started to prepare for the trip to the South.

...

two days later.

In the warehouse next to the main house.

Roger carefully dripped a drop of blood on a miniature coffin.

The coffin is pitch black? Simple in shape? About the size of half a person.

This thing looks unlucky.

But it was one of the two extraordinary items left by Wellington!

...

"Last Refuge (Storage Items/Extraordinary Items)"

"Rating: SS"

"Mode 1: Evacuation Mode

In the refuge mode, you will get a refuge space of 200*200*80 (meters). The refuge space has strong defense capabilities and can resist the continuous attack of an extraordinary team within 240 hours.

Limited to one use per year"

"Mode 2: Regular Mode

In regular mode? You will get additional storage space? Including a main room, an armory and two warehouses"

"Requirements for opening: Kun's Blood Curse (169 days)"

...

Today is the 169th day of Roger bleeding.

After a strange shaking.

The coffin was finally Roger's.

Although this thing looks unattractive, it is indeed worthy of SS's extraordinary item evaluation.

Not to mention the almost invincible escape mode.

The regular mode alone is enough to make your mouth water.

Unlike other storage items.

This coffin can live in people!

The main room of the shelter is a 10*8*6 (meter) space, not only the owner can live in it, but even invite guests to visit.

Decorate and arrange here? Not only can it be used as a bedroom, but also more functional areas can be developed.

The warehouses on both sides are pure storage space.

Roger can get things directly from the warehouse in the room? But people can't walk in.

Each warehouse has 24 grids, 48 ​​in total.

The storage space of each grid is equivalent to the size of a wardrobe.

This means that Roger can carry a lot more things.

It is worth mentioning the independent "Arsenal".

Roger studied it.

Found that the arsenal of this thing is equivalent to a quick equipment bar? As long as you move your mind, the contents will appear directly in your hand.

It's just that there will be a delay of about 2S in this process? It's not as good as Tibetan swordsmanship? But it's also very practical.

There are currently 8 slots in the arsenal? You can place a lot of Roger's favorites: smoke bombs, rotten eggs, flash bottles, element bottles, hand tumor bombs, blinding powder... and so on.

After having a shelter.

The crucible has been liberated, and it can be used as a refining tool with peace of mind.

The only flaw is that.

Standing upright, this thing is bigger than a cauldron.

When Roger thought about what he would carry when he went out in the future, he would change from a turtle shell to a coffin.

I always feel that the force has dropped a lot.

...

Another extraordinary piece of equipment Wellington gave was a "philosopher stone".

As the name suggests.

Only need to spend a certain amount of money, this stone can enchant unenchanted equipment once.

As long as the money is enough, there is no limit to enchanting.

However, the effect of enchantment is random.

Roger excitedly tried it with Chiyue.

It turned out to be an addiction.

...

"You use the Philosopher's Stone to enchant Chiyue (common)"

"Your enchantment was successful! Chiyue's sharpness +1"

"Would you like to consume 100 copper tokens for the second enchantment?"

...

Roger tried without hesitation.

...

"You use the touchstone to enchant Chiyue (sharpness +1)"

"Your enchantment succeeded! Chiyue's durability +1"

"Do you want to consume 500 copper tokens for three enchantments?"

...

Roger hesitated and chose to continue.

...

"You use the touchstone to enchant Chiyue"

"Unfortunately, your enchantment failed, your Chi Yue has been damaged"

"Do you want to consume a little copper token to enchant other items?"

...

Bang bang.

It's not just the sound of Chi Yue shattering.

It was Roger's heartbroken voice.

He figured it out, this is no philosopher's stone, it's clearly Kelly's money shredder!

The first enchantment of "The Philosopher's Stone" only requires 50 Copper Orders.

But the follow-up costs are multiplied!

The key is that the failure rate has also increased.

A devil deep inside Roger told him:

Strengthen it, strengthen it, as long as you spend enough money, you will definitely be able to strengthen an "indestructible" Chiyue.

Fortunately he restrained himself.

In the end, Roger spent more than half of the money to enchant all the red moons and some common items once.

Thus.

He has 106 red moons with different attributes in his hand.

In fact, there should have been 126.

...

Except for extraordinary items.

Wellington bequeathed to Roger a great deal of money, materials, scrolls and books.

This wealth does not need to consider the issue of expenditure for the time being.

And the rest of the equipment.

He picked out a few useful items to replace:

A defense +18 "Purple Scale Inner Armor" replaced the broken Mithril Heart Armor.

A wristband that can summon wolves, named "Call of the Wild", was worn by him on his left wrist.

There is also a "Trading Boots", which increases a lot of movement speed, and also comes with "foot oiling" five times a day.

The rest can only be temporarily placed in the warehouse.

...

a week later.

Roger is carrying "Last Refuge" on his back and walking on the Sierra River Bridge.

The early autumn wind patted on his face, making it extremely cool.

behind him.

It is a mighty macho team.

The gargoyle rested on his right shoulder, making flattering noises.

Not long.

They came to the other side of the bridge.

The scenery in the distance is unobstructed.

Roger quietly activated his sixth sense.

A large number of images flooded his eyes and mind.

...

On the plain beyond the horizon.

A towering mountain peak rises in the sky.

Mid-air at the foot of the mountain.

The six floating roundabouts are on orbits with different heights.

Surrounded in an orderly manner like a satellite.

There are waterfalls falling on the floating island.

Under the sunlight, the waterfalls shone like the brightest gems.

Under the floating island and the mountain peak.

It is devastated ruins.

It is dotted with farms.

It's an indistinct gray fog.

It is a deserted cemetery.

Roger closed his eyes, and Alan's introduction sounded in his ears:

On that unreachable floating island.

The descendants of the first order builders after the end of the world are working hard to maintain their power and majesty.

All kinds of open and secret struggles have never stopped.

And below the floating island.

A large number of creatures and monsters gather here.

They are also fighting.

It's just that the theme of the battle has become survival and reproduction.

This is Gem City.

Different people will have different definitions of him.

And for Roger.

He only worries about how his future brothers and sisters are doing well now?

How is the reproduction?

Will the population size be too small?

"If you can't wait for me to come, it's an endangered species!"

he thought so.

Suddenly, he sprinted rapidly to the southwest.

At the moment when the "full sixth sense" was just turned on.

He sensed that someone in front of him was being hurt by a monster!

as expected.

Before long, he saw a white house with a lonely tree on the side of the road.

This moment.

A giant dryad has entwined the entire house.

A woman's weeping could be heard faintly in the room.

"I'm a chivalrous man, it's time to act chivalrously!"

Roger suddenly marked the dryad with a crime mark.

Then he greeted the younger brothers and went up.

After a while.

...

"You killed a dryad"

"The hair on both sides of your pubic bone has been slightly stiffer"

...

"Damn!"

Roger was furious.

...
