I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

...

"You can't go."

"Why not?"

"The Shiluo monster is too dangerous!"

"No matter how dangerous a monster is, it can still be killed! I have the courage and awareness to face the Sheluo demon directly."

"Dorothy, courage and awareness will not avenge you, but may ruin your own life."

"But...that's my brother."

...

In the hall of the lord's mansion, there was a fierce quarrel.

"Roger, go and persuade Dorothy."

"She has come here five or six times this month, and each time she has applied to the lord to recruit manpower to fight against the Sheluo demon."

"Since Kane died, she seems to be a different person..."

The two guards spoke out the ins and outs in a hurry.

Kane is the former captain of the defense team in Tongma Town, and he is a very reliable man.

He was one of the few friends Roger had in Tongma.

It was he who accompanied Roger through the difficult adventurer career in the early days of crossing, for which Roger was very grateful and always kept it in his heart.

A year ago, Kane recruited a group of elite adventurers in the town.

They went to crusade against the Shiluo demon, which had been a disaster for a long time, but they were killed strangely.

As a result, Tongma Town was seriously injured, and the granary was almost breached by the Moors in the north last winter.

During that time, many people in the town secretly complained about Kane's recklessness.

...

Roger walked into the hall.

A tall girl stood beside the marble pillar, arguing fiercely with the white-haired butler of the lord's mansion.

She was wearing a close-fitting maroon leather armor, with a sharp dagger pinned to the belt around her waist and thigh.

Her skin was very fair, perhaps because she was too excited, not only a layer of dew-like sweat appeared on her forehead, but even the faintly visible blue veins were so obvious.

She is Dorothy, Kane's younger sister, and the current captain of the defense in Tongma Town.

"Roger?"

Dorothy noticed him with slightly surprised eyes.

Roger nodded slightly, and walked quickly to the two of them.

"Are you here to stop me?"

Dorothy noticed the two evasive guards, and her eyes became unfriendly.

"No, I'm here to accept the bounty offered by the Shelob demon."

With that said, Roger conveniently pressed the reward order on the desk in front of the old housekeeper.

There was silence in the hall for about five or six seconds.

"Are you kidding, Roger."

The old butler shivered and pushed his glasses, looked at the reward order in Roger's hand, and muttered:

"Crazy, you are all crazy."

Dorothy froze there, her eyes gradually becoming complicated.

And the two guards who encouraged Roger to enter the hall were even more dumbfounded.

They hadn't even noticed that Roger had torn off Shelob's bounty order!

After all, in their impression, Roger is a rare and honest adventurer.

The crusade against monsters has never had anything to do with Roger.

"Wait a minute!"

Dorothy suddenly reacted and grabbed Roger's arm:

"You can't go!"

"Why not?"

asked Roger.

"The Shiluo monster is too dangerous!"

Dorothy anxiously stroked her slightly messy hair.

"No matter how dangerous a monster is, it can be killed, right?"

"You are not the only one who is conscious, Dorothy."

Roger said calmly.

Dorothy bit her lips lightly, thoughtfully:

"Are you reminding me to be rational in this way?"

"But that's Kane..."

"No no no."

Roger couldn't help but rolled his eyes:

"Don't think too much, I mean it literally."

After speaking, he looked at the old housekeeper:

"The lord's mansion should have detailed information about the corpse demon, right?"

The old butler looked at Roger silently. After a while, he seemed to realize Roger's firmness, so he said helplessly:

"We do have detailed information on the Shelob."

"However, in order to prevent some adventurers from misjudging the strength of the crusade target, we have added a pre-quest."

"We will give you the detailed information about the Sheluo demon only after completing the pre-quest."

Roger thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"What is the pre-mission?"

"Queen of the Red Tide Corpse."

The old housekeeper stopped ink staining, and directly took out a roll of newer parchment from the drawer and handed it to Roger.

"As long as you can kill the red tide corpse in Yuntai Mountain within three months, in addition to the bounty of 300 copper orders, we will also give you information about the corpse demon."

"I hope you can understand, we really don't want the vital forces in the town to die in vain."

Roger glanced roughly at the contents of the parchment, and nodded slightly:

"Understood."

"Farewell."

Amidst the ghostly expressions of the guards, he turned and left the Lord's Mansion.

"Roger!"

Not far away, Dorothy caught up with him as he expected.

"The Red Tide Corpse Empress... I'll go with you."

she says.

Roger said decisively:

"good."

"Tomorrow morning, Pumpkin Tianbei, I will wait for you."

Dorothy was stunned again, she thought Roger would refuse, but she didn't expect him to agree so happily.

She looked Roger up and down again, as if looking at a stranger.

"It's a deal."

Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a little doubt:

"Then where are you going now? This is the way to Yuntai Mountain."

"Oh, I'm going to collect medicine."

Roger said.

...

After more than an hour.

Outside a valley on the mountainside of Yuntai Mountain.

Roger breathed evenly against the steep rock wall and moved forward steadily.

Weeds half the height of a person seriously obstructed his vision.

Fortunately, he still has the "Looking Qi Technique".

In Roger's field of vision, there are blood-red fine air columns rising into the sky in front of him.

Above the canyon, a cloud of scarlet blood stagnated for a long time.

This shows that there are a lot of monsters in the canyon!

Roger stopped quietly.

Not far ahead, a solitary column of blood-colored air stopped moving.

It was a red tide zombie.

...

"Red Tide Zombie LV4 Life 35 Defense 5 Weak Lightning"

...

He glanced at the data obtained by the air-watching technique.

Roger gently unfastened the two-handed sword on his back, and held it firmly in his hand.

This kind of two-handed sword is the standard equipment of Tongma Town's garrison team. It is smaller in size than the common two-handed sword; it is relatively flexible to wield and is very suitable for small-scale battles.

This two-handed sword was given to Roger by Kane.

In a territory like Tongma Town that does not produce steel, it is considered a valuable gift.

Suppress all kinds of thoughts.

Roger adjusted his breath, and suddenly launched a "surprise attack"!

His figure was as fast as lightning.

In the weeds.

The Red Tide Zombie slowly tried to turn around, but Roger had already come forward, and the sword light in his hand slashed at the monster's waist!

With the blessing of "gathering momentum", his sword can exert 500% of its power!

Whether it is "Attack Power", "Damage", or "Strength", "Hit", and "Slash Judgment".

They are all 500% effective!

Pooh!

The sharp sword cut off the waist of the red tide corpse like a sickle cutting straw, without any sense of stagnation.

The monster silently turned into two parts, struggled on the ground for a while, and then died completely.

"It's really so smooth!"

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

He deftly took out a piece of sackcloth and wiped off the yellow blood on the two-handed sword before focusing on the second target.

From within the half-person-high grass, the silent slaughter was slowly going on.

Relying on the precise positioning of the "Looking Qi Technique", Roger seemed to be killing the king of Hades, erasing the lives of the monsters who were alone one by one.

...

"You killed 1 red tide zombie, and killed 9 red tide zombies in total"

"You gained 1 XP"

"Your pain resistance has been slightly increased"

...

Before doing it, Roger dropped the Guilty Mark on the Crimson Tide Zombie.

The attribute of this kind of monster feedback is very good, it is the resistance to pain.

It's a pity that monsters like the Red Tide Zombie don't have the reproductive ability of the Explosive Frog, otherwise Roger would really consider whether to max out the pain resistance before leaving.

Hurrah!

The sword wind in the grass was slightly restless.

Roger simply cut off the head of a monster, and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"It's too slow to kill like this..."

"Also, it's not so easy to find the lone red tide zombies, the rest are gathered in the valley."

At this moment, in front of him lay four corpses of two red tide zombies.

He originally only wanted to kill one of them, but he didn't expect to disturb the other one.

Fortunately, with his current skill, it is not difficult to fight two against one.

But this made Roger realize that killing like this would not only be too inefficient, but also pose a security risk.

Groups of red tide zombies are likely to pose a threat to him.

"It's time to change tactics."

"Go and see the situation in the valley first!"

Roger put his two-handed sword on the ground, hung a roll of rope around his waist, and then went into battle lightly. After a while, he quickly climbed up the cliff on the east side of the canyon.

His "climbing" skill is 49 points (the limit of LV5), which is enough to deal with this kind of terrain.

When he got to a high place, he looked up.

In the depths of the canyon, groups of red tide zombies moved irregularly.

In the next second, Roger's eyelids twitched slightly.

He actually saw an intact tent among the zombies!

A fat and tall zombie came out of the tent.

As if aware of something, she suddenly glanced at the stone wall outside the canyon.

There is nothing on the stone wall.

...
