I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

The edge of floating island 4.

On a square with high fences.

It is full of people at the moment.

Roger and Shar walked among the crowd and finally found a suitable place to watch.

He looked around.

The horizon seems to be getting further and further away.

...

"Sixth Sense: You feel that the floating island and the mountain of truth are slowly rising"

...

It seems that the vibration and weightlessness just now were caused by the change of the center of gravity of the floating island.

The arrival of the magic tide is a gradual process.

There doesn't seem to be any particularly obvious features at first.

At least on floating island number 4.

Roger didn't feel much change.

The human gathering place under the floating island did not immediately fall into chaos.

But start today.

Floating boats from the six major floating islands will stop operating.

According to Shar.

After a while, even the "Etheric Gate" will close.

Only after the tide of magic is completely over and the abundance of magic power returns to normal, these facilities will be reopened to the residents of the floating island.

The duration of the magic tide is long or short.

As fast as a month, as slow as half a year.

These will be some of the most boring days for the residents of the floating island.

It is also the time when friction is most likely to occur.

...

The arrival of the magic tide did not affect Roger's regular life.

It just made him feel a little bit heavy.

For the civilians under the floating island, he wanted to do something, but in the end he found that there was nothing he could do.

No one can stop the sudden increase in the abundance of magic power.

The floating island and the mountain of truth can't carry so many people.

As for leaving Gem City, it is just a dream——

Going west is the red soil wasteland, and then there is the virgin forest on the south side of "Death Scar".

The monsters there will become stronger and more fierce after being baptized by the magic tide.

Let alone ordinary people.

Low-level adventurers used to deliver food.

To the east is the mountain range leading to "Thunder Heights".

And between the mountains, there is also a "boundary river", which is very insurmountable.

The south, on the other hand, is a ferocious place with a higher abundance of magic power.

The only place that seems promising is the North.

But when Roger passed the Sierra Bridge, Alan warned him——

The duty of the boundary guard is not to allow large-scale "crossing the boundary" behavior.

The inhabitants of the surface want to survive.

I can only pray that I am lucky enough to withstand the distortion caused by excessive magic power abundance.

otherwise.

They would turn out to be more terrifying monsters than the marshlanders Roger had ever seen.

This sense of powerlessness irritated Roger deeply.

This is where his thirst for power comes from.

Since it is powerless to change the abominable status quo.

Then it can only be done on your own.

Getting stronger day by day.

Someday.

He will change all that.

He is so convinced.

...

Two nights later.

Roger's house.

In the basement where the "weak space magic circle" is installed.

A three-meter-tall macho is lined up in an orderly manner, accepting Roger's "medical examination".

The weak space solidification circle cannot open up a dimensional space out of thin air.

But it can greatly expand the original space indoors.

Roger's basement was originally less than 70 square meters, but after the expansion of the magic circle, it has a usable area of ​​nearly 1,000 square meters.

This made his idea of ​​a hunk in the golden house become a reality.

tonight.

He will change the contract carrier for these loyal little brothers.

Accompanied by the acquisition of a large number of "ancient stones".

Rabbit skin has lost its use value.

It's daytime today.

Roger bought a large amount of "Bauhinia Water" and 10 standard "burning knives" in an alchemy supply store.

The work of the contractor was naturally put on the agenda.

On an open desk.

But seeing that Roger didn't lift his head, he moved the knife like flying.

As the stone chips rolled down, crooked purgatory words took shape impressively.

"Next!"

"Blood!"

"Idiot, making you bleed is not making you spit blood!"

"Next!"

...

Under Roger's efficient command.

Not long.

The contract replacement was successfully completed.

After switching to the "Contract of Obstinate Stone", the strength of the horned monsters has all been improved by coincidence.

on the data bar.

...

"You have successfully replaced the contract carrier, and the average combat power of your servants has increased by 20%"

...

"You have obtained an additional reward given by the ancient stubborn stone: sharing ability"

...

"Your servants have obtained the 'Attack Special Effect-Thunderbolt' through the shared ability."

"Attack Special Effect-Lightning: Each of your attacks will have a 10% special effect of Thunder Element"

...

"You obtained the 'Heart of Immortality' through sharing abilities"

"Immortal Heart: Your Constitution +1;

When your heart is destroyed, you don't die, but a second heart grows quickly;

Cooling time: 30 days"

...

"To play a contractor is to make stones!"

"Stone faction is strong!"

Look at the handful of heart-shaped stones in your hand.

Roger can be described as elated.

It is not without reason that rabbit fur has become a substitute.

After the carrier of the contract was replaced by a stubborn stone, the strength of the horned monsters has improved too much!

Not to mention the extra sharing capabilities.

Attack special effects greatly enhance the hunting efficiency of the little brothers.

The Undying Heart not only makes up for Roger's weakness (Physique +1).

On the basis of 100% toughness, he has a double insurance!

This increase in combat power is not just a little bit.

besides.

After completing the contract with the Ancient Stone.

Roger can finally check the complete attribute list of the younger brothers - when the rabbit skin was used as the carrier, he could only use the qi-watching technique to make a superficial observation, and his understanding was not detailed enough.

He glanced at it quickly.

The expression is very satisfied.

Devil blood is indeed a good thing.

The total of the six attributes of the Horned Demon is around 73 points.

Very few outstanding guys, such as the woodpecker - the six attributes add up to 78 points!

"etc!"

Roger suddenly sensed something was wrong, raised his head and asked:

"Why is your closest occupation a mage?"

The woodpecker scratched his head, a little at a loss:

"Yeah?"

"Master, I don't know very well, but it is indeed easy for me to learn spells."

After all, it seems that for the sake of demonstration, he performed a transformation technique.

He looked at the little girl in the black skirt in front of him.

Roger put his hand on his forehead, lost in thought.

The woodpecker has been fighting with him for so long, and he has always used the other side as a meat shield!

In the end, the occupation turned out to be a potential magic master.

Who would believe this!

On the data column, the six attributes of the woodpecker are as follows:

...

"Strength 17 Constitution 14 Intelligence 18 Perception 6 Charisma 14 Dexterity 9"

...

"No wonder he is always imaginary."

Roger silently shook his head.

A constitution of 14 points obviously cannot support a strength of 17 points.

He was able to resist Ben Leilong because of his simple energy.

As for why it is only now discovered that he is a mage.

The shocking "Perception 6" says it all.

People with low perception.

Always in a daze.

And the 6-point perception is almost the following situation on the earth in the previous life.

...

"Hey, let's have dinner!"

After a while.

"Huh? Have I eaten? No?"

after awhile.

"Hohoho, let's have dinner! (?ω?)"

...

"From now on, when you start learning spells, I will arrange spell books for you."

Roger made the case and concluded:

"But if you want to do any experiments, you must ask me for approval."

"Ugwu."

"In the future, you will be responsible for following him, the kind who will never leave him."

...

It is certainly a joy to find high-intelligence mage materials among the servants.

But the ultra-low perception cast a slight haze on this joy.

In the following days.

Roger's life kept a constant rhythm.

But with the gradual increase in the abundance of magic power.

The ether-eating dragons near the fragrant nan tree began to decrease sharply.

And Shar's hip pain got worse.

It's almost to the point where you have to drink "sleep potion" to fall asleep without receiving treatment every day!

During treatment.

Roger found that the effect of "Qi" was weakening, so he had to increase the dose, only in this way can the sorceress' pain be relieved.

In this way.

The time he stayed in Shaer Villa was also lengthened a lot.

...

some day.

After half a day of treatment.

Roger walked out of the physiotherapy room with a sigh of relief, his footsteps were a little vain.

Shar followed out with a happy face.

"You are really amazing, Hachi."

"I don't think I can do without you anymore, here, this is today's salary."

"By the way, accompany me to a court hearing tomorrow morning."

Roger was about to say no.

Shar yawned lazily:

"Tomorrow's Court of Truth Mountain may be the most exciting scene in recent years. Remember the "ether-eating dragon" I mentioned to you? "

"Someone can't help it."

...

the next day.

Truth Mountain Court.

auditorium.

Roger sat on a comfortable and soft sofa, overlooking the crowd below.

At a glance, almost all of them are mages.

This is not surprising.

The participants in today's trial are all prominent figures from the six floating islands.

Among them are many high-level people from the Truth Society.

Naturally, most of them are mages.

If Shar hadn't led it.

As Roger, he can't even climb the mountain of truth.

Also because of Shar.

Come all the way.

Roger noticed a lot of malicious eyes.

But those people did not act.

Because more of their attention is still focused on the people being tried today.

According to Shar.

It was a boy named Little Thomas.

At this moment, he was standing alone in the middle of the hall. He looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and the fluff on his lips was clearly visible.

hard to imagine.

It was just such a young child who broke into the forbidden area of ​​the ruins of Gem City half a year ago, and released the terrible monster "Ether Eater Dragon".

It is heard that the ether-eating dragon has caused great damage to the Truth Society.

Many spell research projects were forced to terminate because of this.

This matter was found out half a year ago.

At that time, there was a lot of trouble on the floating island.

But it has been delayed until now before the trial.

the reason is simple.

Thomas Jr.'s father is the vice president of the Truth Society.

That level 54 extraordinary mage known as the "wisdom left hand"!

Although the vice president has repeatedly stated that he will not interfere with this matter.

But the whole thing is still nuanced by it.

A lot of people came to today's court hearing.

Everyone is not just here to watch the show.

...

The trial process of the Mountain of Truth is very streamlined.

All speeches are short and fast.

It didn't take long for Thomas Jr.'s defense time.

Under the watchful eyes of a crowd of sorcerers.

The boy looked up.

The eyes are full of fear:

"I have no excuse!"

"I didn't think I did anything wrong the whole time."

"In comparison, you guys who discovered the ether-eating dragons early on but refused to let them out are the ones who have a problem?"

"Your Honor, can you use the "Eye of Surveillance" to look at the situation under the floating island? "

"Just look around, anywhere!"

The judge was silent for a while.

As an extraordinary mage, he is of course qualified to mobilize the monitoring eyes of the Mountain of Truth.

next moment.

He agreed to Thomas Jr.'s request.

Scenes of clear pictures from the surface began to appear slowly.

...

In a shabby hut.

The thin girl hugged the quilt tightly and refused to come out.

The middle-aged man with a beard all over his face suddenly pulled her out, tears fell from his eyes, and he said something to the girl.

The girl shook her head frantically, the sheets were wet with tears.

The middle-aged man went to great lengths to tie the girl to the bed.

Then he pulled the sheet back.

The girl's left foot was exposed.

But she saw dense light blue spots on her ankles!

The spots are spreading upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It almost grows to the vicinity of the skinny calf.

The middle-aged man wiped away his tears cruelly, and brought back a saw from outside the house.

Then the girl's mouth was stuffed with sackcloth.

He hugged the girl gently and said many, many words.

Just when he was about to make a move.

Suddenly, a group of annoying "mosquitoes" flew from outside.

The mosquitoes covered the girl's ankles.

He buried his head and sucked.

After a while, they flew away one after another.

The middle-aged man looked at the girl's ankle in disbelief.

Those spots symbolize destruction and distortion.

Just disappeared.

He put down the saw in his hand, hugged the girl who was still crying and cried loudly.

...

Similar scenes are playing out on the surface all the time.

After this moving scene.

Little Thomas said aloud:

"You could have avoided the tragedy, but you chose to do nothing!"

"I saved all of their lives!"

"And you are going to judge me!"

"Is it true that no one finds it ridiculous?"

There was no sound in the venue.

The justice said calmly:

"But you have harmed the interests of Mountain of Truth."

"Ether-eating dragons are terrifying war monsters. I don't know if you have noticed just now. Every time a certain amount of "distortion" is absorbed, this monster will become stronger, and their reproduction speed will also be accelerated. "

"After the magic tide, their number and level will reach a point that we cannot solve."

"Can you take responsibility for this?"

The justice's remarks seemed to be expected by the boy.

He laughed loudly:

"Then find a way to solve it!"

"If the problem is really this serious, why waste time on a trial?"

"You who have mastered the authority of the Ethereum Society, you who think you are in a high position, you who claim to be geniuses... Hurry up and use your brains!"

"Compared to those poor people on the surface, you must have more options, right?"

"Or is it that you are neither willing to admit your incompetence nor do you want to contribute to controlling the number of such monsters?"

His tone became more and more passionate.

The silence of the crowd made him look like an envoy of justice.

that moment.

Everyone subconsciously ignored his age.

...

"how?"

Shar took a sip of the red wine and asked softly in Roger's ear.

"great."

Roger smiled:

"I mean his lines are very proficient."

on the data bar.

...

"Sixth Sense: You sense Thomas Jr. is putting on a great show"

...

"As expected of the man I fancy."

"Except for the pleasing technique."

"Your mind is sexy as hell."

Shar smiled and took Roger's hand.

Regardless of the surprised eyes of others, the two walked out of the court.

behind.

Thomas Jr.'s impassioned speeches continued.

...

"There won't be any results today, they are all old and cunning guys."

On a sightseeing platform in Truth Mountain.

Shar held up her skirt like a lady and twirled around like a dancing red butterfly.

Her voice seemed a little erratic in the mountain wind:

"Little Thomas was just a pawn, even his father."

"Someone in the Truth Society is dissatisfied with the status quo."

"The "Ether Eater Dragon" is a spear, of course it is pointed at the chairman who is obsessed with studying Tarun martial arts and hasn't shown up for more than half a year. "

"Don't look at the judge scolding that child, but they are all in the same group."

"The forces that were really beaten are now probably guarding the sub-plane of the Mountain of Truth in a hurry. I don't know what the chairman has researched."

Roger listened attentively.

he knows.

What Shar said was a true secret.

"What are you going to do?"

asked Roger.

Shar said so much, certainly not for nothing.

The sorceress smiled:

"I owe a favor to that old fellow of the president, and I may help him fight this time."

"The next mountain of truth will be very uneven."

"You must promise me to stay on the floating island and don't go anywhere until I come back."

"If I don't come back."

"I allow you to find other rich women."

Roger gritted his teeth and hesitated:

"How dangerous."

Sarah smiled sweetly:

"It should be impossible to die."

"Not even a fight."

"But it's going to be a long time...poor my hipbones."

Roger silently shook his head.

"promise me!"

"Stay on the floating island and don't go anywhere!"

Shar suddenly became fierce.

Roger froze for a moment, then nodded:

"good."

...

That night.

The edge of floating island 4.

Bypass the detection range of "Surveillance Eye".

Roger faced the bitter wind.

Take a leap!

The whistling wind rang in his ears.

Under the effect of walking against the wind.

It didn't take long for him to land successfully.

The abundance of magic power on the surface is indeed very strong.

Fortunately, he is immune to magic, and the distorted ether cannot affect him in any way.

After making sure no one is around.

Roger took out the gargoyle statue from his arms.

The gargoyle spat out "Last Refuge" from its mouth.

In the crowded main room of the shelter.

The horn-like demon construction brigade jumped out one after another.

In the night wind.

Roger gestured silently.

A group of people rushed to the ruins of Gem City!

"If the ether-eating dragon can grow smoothly in the demon tide, the civilians on the surface may not be harmed."

"That's it."

"I am duty-bound!"

Roger activates Ultimate Hunter.

Start looking for traces of the brothers.

...
