I'm Really Not Targeting the Mages

Chapter 71



71 Death in the village (3000 words) _

Behind the wooden door was a deep and wide underground tunnel.

It was dark ahead, and he didn’t know where it led to.

On both sides of the tunnel.

The tentacles wriggled unconsciously, as if they would only attack when one was close to their alert range.

This kind of monster only looked scary, but it was not that scary to clean up.

Roger silently removed the mark of sin.

Red Moon led the way.

The saber slashed over again and again.

After the tentacles were cut off, they turned into a pool of stinky pus as soon as they fell to the ground.

The parts that grew out of the ground had deep holes in them. They looked quite scary, as if something could crawl out of them at any time.

Fortunately, Roger’s will was firm, and he advanced triumphantly with his aura observation.

After cutting off the eighteen tentacles.

In the vision of the aura observation technique, the demonic red color disappeared quietly.

This meant that there was no longer any ” touch of ikardo ” nearby.

The terrain ahead was relatively flat.

A faint flame appeared.

Roger wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he turned back to look at the deep holes and fell into deep thought.

As the number of tentacles he killed increased ...

The information obtained by the aura observation technique was also getting more and more detailed.

At least he now knew the meaning of ” ancient evil “.

In Mystra, this was referring to the terrifying living creatures that had survived the God’s destruction.

They might not be the most powerful.

However, because they had absorbed too much distorted energy during the destruction of the world, their forms and methods had become extremely strange.

The master of these tentacles-

Normally, his level would not be lower than 100.

His real body was probably sleeping in a secret place like the core of the earth or the bottom of the sea ...

Even though he managed to survive the forbidden spell.

However, he had definitely suffered a heavy blow, so going into hibernation was his only choice.

Therefore, the tentacles along the way were probably not planted by icadore himself.

It was the work of his believers or servants.

It was important for Roger to know this information.

At least now, he dared to try to divine the suffix ” icadore’s servant ” without worrying about a backlash.

The heroic mode was very clear.

As long as the target wasn’t a true God, he could try to use the aura observation technique in divination.

He did as he thought.

Roger half-squatted and pressed his hand on the edge of the deep hole, feeling the traces of tentacles. He said in his heart, ”

the location of ‘icadore’s servant’.

His divination ability had been greatly enhanced after his aura observation skill had been upgraded to Level 3.

He wanted to use this to determine the location of the mission target.

The next second.

Roger could vaguely see some images.

..

On the blood-stained seat.

A thin man in a gray robe was trembling all over, as if he was suffering great pain.

The crescent-colored hood slowly slid down.

It revealed a strange face covered in suction cups.

On his right arm.

It was a white armband with red patterns on it!

His field of vision suddenly pulled up.

In the mountains.

A village had risen from the ground.

People came and went at the entrance of the village. The bandits laughed presumptuously while dragging the people they had captured today.

The villagers who tried to resist were quickly beheaded.

Blood stained the ground red.

...

It nourished the tentacle that was greedily absorbing it.

More and more tentacles rose from the ground.

All of a sudden.

It was foggy.

..

[ prompt: you have sensed the headquarters of the Brotherhood of red sleeves,’death omen village’. ]

..

Roger gently rubbed his temples and quickly digested the results of the divination.

“So, the servant of icadore is the first leader of the Brotherhood of red sleeves?” he asked.

“He established the Brotherhood of red sleeves in the countryside of Hall. I’m afraid that he only used these bandits as tools to provide for icadore!”

“Yes, the intelligence from dawn town mentioned that the leader of the Brotherhood of red sleeves came from the sea!”

...

All the clues were gradually pieced together.

Roger had a new understanding of the promotion mission.

In the elite advancement mission.

All he needed to do was to ” destroy the Brotherhood of red sleeves ” and kill the two leaders.

The destruction here should only be referring to the destruction of the Brotherhood of red sleeves ‘headquarters.

In that case, the conditions were much more relaxed.

It was possible to set a fire or create a small-scale earthquake.

Therefore, in the elite level mission.

Roger didn’t need to have a direct conflict with the first leader of the Brotherhood.

Compared to killing all the heavenly fate realm experts ...

The difficulty had undoubtedly been reduced by a lot.

and the key to a heavenly fate mission is how to kill the first leader.

Roger straightened up and let out a long breath.

Although it was a little tricky.

But he was not afraid.

Just thinking about the mission reward, he was filled with fighting spirit!

Especially when he saw so many bandits in the village.

Roger felt like he was about to fly!

With this thought ...

He couldn’t help but speed up his pace and rush towards the fire.

..

Not long after.

Roger came to the edge of the fire.

What surprised him was ...

This place was actually an underground moon platform!

There was a narrow track under the moon platform, which led to an unknown place in the dark cave!

There were still a dozen boxes of goods on the moon platform.

Roger counted and found wine, meat, and even fresh vegetables.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A loud noise came from the corner of the tunnel.

Not long after.

A long ‘train’ stopped on the moon platform.

Compared to the trains in Roger’s memory, this one was much narrower. The back carriage didn’t even have a roof, and it was filled with a lot of messy things.

A head popped out from the front of the car.

“You’re that newbie? Let me see the recommendation letter!”

It was a man who reeked of alcohol.

He looked extremely unkempt.

When he was talking to Roger, he was holding a bottle of wine in his right hand and taking small sips from time to time.

Roger handed over the recommendation letter in a muffled voice.

The man threw it back without even looking at it.

“Move the things and get in the car.”

Half an hour later.

Large amounts of steam came out from the front of the car.

The train started to move.

Roger was squeezed in the second carriage, shaking left and right with the train, and had to endure all kinds of strange pungent smells.

On the data bar, the aura observation skill had obtained new information.

..

mining cart of the grey dwarves: a means of transportation that burns inferior stones in exchange for power. Low efficiency, high instability, and extremely poor safety.

..

“I didn’t expect the red sleeves Brotherhood to have an affair with the duergar.”

Roger couldn’t help but frown.

If he didn’t guess wrong.

This mining cart was heading towards the ‘death omen village’.

This had saved him a lot of time and energy.

The recommendation letter was real anyway.

He would just have to adapt to the situation after sneaking in.

..

The speed of the mining cart was very slow, about the same as that of a horse carriage.

Just like that, they drove for five to six hours.

The mining cart in the middle even broke down a little.

The driver stopped and poured water on the back of the car for a long time before fixing it.

“Zi Zi Zi!”

The screeching sound of a car braking was heard.

Roger opened his eyes.

The mining cart stopped at an unfamiliar underground moon platform.

“We’ll stop here for a day. We’ll wait for the others.”

“If you’re bored, there’s a Lakeside town not far from here. You can have some fun there.”

“But remember to come back before this time tomorrow. I won’t wait for you.”

The driver fell asleep as soon as he finished speaking.

Roger couldn’t help but get out of the car to stretch his muscles.

He looked at the dusty moon platform and the dirty mining cart, and decided to go to Lakeside town to take a look.

In order to cover up his low-light vision, he deliberately took a torch from the Brazier rack next to him.

He had not taken two steps.

A lazy voice came from behind him.

“Remember to bring me two bottles of wine.”

Roger laughed silently, ”

“Alright,” he said.

..

The underground moon platform was indeed not far from Lakeside town.

It was only about 40 minutes on foot.

However, the degree of chaos here was even greater than that of Capone Manor.

It was really an eye-opening experience for Roger as he walked through the town.

Underground people, halflings, grey dwarves, Spider people, lizard people, dog-headed people, gnolls ...

There were all sorts of races.

However, when there were more races, the public security and order naturally could not be complimented.

Roger walked over.

They had encountered at least a dozen scuffles.

Roger was very satisfied with the degree of chaos here.

The more chaotic a place was, the more convenient it was for him to gather information.

“This place should be very close to death omen village. There must be someone well-informed.”

With this thought in mind.

Roger was ready to walk around the town a few more times.

Not long after, he found an interesting place on the edge of the town.

A large number of people were gathered there.

Roger had to use a lot of strength to squeeze in.

They were surrounded by a clean and tidy house. The light green Ivy and the White arcane runes were out of place with the chaos and filth here.

An underground girl in a maid’s uniform stood in front of the house.

She was very tall, and when she smiled, she looked especially gentle.

“Is there anyone else who is willing to try?”

The girl pointed to the sign next to her and said, ”

as long as you can stay in the library for 3 minutes, you’ll have unexpected gains!

Roger focused his eyes.

..

[ the mobile library from the sea of knowledge trees is holding a special book Day event today. ]

[ activity rules ]

1. The library only accepts male customers, and only one at a time.

2. Only reading is allowed in the library. No other activities are allowed.

3. You will be rewarded if you persist in reading for more than 3 minutes.

[ 4. You will receive the final reward if you persist in reading for more than 40 minutes. ]

..

There were also some detailed entries below.

And the list of rewards that was compared to the reading time.

The three-minute box corresponded to 1000 bronze coins.

The final reward for persisting for 40 minutes was not indicated.

But it was said that it was worth more than ten golden plates!

Roger was amused.

isn’t this the ‘player benefit’ in the game? the succubus library? ” (Note 1.)

The reward was very attractive.

Many people were lining up.

All of a sudden.

The door of the small house opened.

A strong-looking Minotaur was thrown out, and his huge body crashed onto the ground, causing a huge tremor!

“This gentleman’s challenge failed.”

“It’s a pity that I only lasted 19 seconds.”

The underground girl said with a smile.

Everyone looked at the Tauren, who was unconscious and seemed to be dead.

He calmed down a little.

Some of them noticed the mysterious mark on the bullmen’s pants and silently left the formation.

The one at the front of the line was a male underground person.

Seeing this, his expression turned ugly.

“Can you give me some time to think?”

He asked.

The girl in the maid uniform grabbed his wrist and said with a smile, ”

“You can’t go back on your word after lining up.”

The underground man struggled violently.

The rest of the people also had wavering thoughts.

Roger saw this.

He couldn’t help but step forward and shout, ”

“Release him!”

“Let me do it.”

..

(Note 1. A succubus can be simply understood as a fantasy version of a fox spirit. It is more evil, the extreme of lust and temptation, and will absorb ~ energy.)
