I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

Cindy tells Roger that the master animal tamer's name is Rachel.

Rachel used to be a resident of Longya Village.

But because of her weird temperament, she left the village when she was very young, and lived alone in the sand and gravel piles in the south.

Then there was one time.

Rachel mysteriously disappeared for months.

When she came back, there were a group of flying dragon beasts with teeth and claws beside her.

These flying dragon beasts only obey her orders.

Since then, she has become the most respected existence on Huangshi Island.

Rachel is reclusive and not good at words, but she is very kind at heart.

She knows the "Big Wetland" like the back of her hand, and is willing to use the wyvern's impressive carrying capacity to help others.

Many adventurers have taken Rachel's "Dragon Express".

Of course, Dragon Express is not free.

Cindy hints at Roger:

Rachel's task may be more troublesome than her own commission.

...

despite this.

Roger still wanted to talk to the Beastmaster himself, to see if she could take him across the wetlands.

Roger's goal is Jewel City.

Before setting off, he had asked Terry for advice on the route.

Terry drew him a rough map.

It is not difficult to see from the map that the "Great Wetland" is the biggest obstacle between Tongma Town and Jewel City.

According to Terry.

Roger only needs to go all the way south through the wetlands to reach a place called "Paramount Manor".

There is Terry's hometown.

It is also a human gathering place that is very friendly to outsiders.

Paramount Estates is just a stone's throw from the Jewel City.

There are rich resources and beautiful land.

But at the same time, with the increase in the abundance of magic power, the number and strength of monsters are also increasing.

The further south you go, the more dangerous it is.

This is common sense that applies throughout Mystra.

For Roger, the goal of Gem City is actually not that urgent.

His purpose of leaving Tongma Town is to seek more powerful monsters and inherit a more complete human civilization.

Roger actually cares more about the latter than the former.

He is quite curious about the background of this world.

Especially after knowing that this may be a game world, this kind of curiosity becomes more necessary.

Only places with more complete inheritance can obtain more information about history, humanities, and worldview.

up to now.

Roger's knowledge of Mystra is limited to the legend of the demise of the gods told by the old people in Tongma Town.

Considering that in mythology, such outrageous descriptions as "nineteen ring spells" can appear.

Roger was still skeptical about the veracity of the myth.

After all, that is a power above level 190!

...

That afternoon.

Roger crossed Huangshi Island, avoided several groups of refugees with malicious intentions, and successfully found the residence of the master of animal taming.

Too bad Rachel wasn't home.

The flying dragon beast that Cindy was talking about was also missing.

However, it can be seen from the feces scattered among the sand and gravel piles that there are indeed some sub-dragon creatures living here.

"Cindy wasn't lying."

Roger nodded secretly in his heart.

The dragon priest told him before coming:

Rachel took her flying dragon beasts to the depths of the swamp for food, and it will take two or three days before she returns.

Many traces at the scene also confirmed this point.

Despite this, Roger still has no plans to accept Cindy's commission.

the following few days.

He found a safe spot between Dragon's Tooth Village and the Beastmaster's residence and set up camp.

Apart from waiting for Rachel's return, he was not idle either.

The monster resources near Huangshi Island are very rich.

There were many he hadn't seen before in the north of the marsh.

Roger hunted these moving "attributes" with great anticipation, hoping to find the best.

In order to improve hunting efficiency.

He also specially invited a villager from Longya Village as his guide.

...

In the afternoon three days later.

In the swamp where water plants grow wildly.

A few pieces of dried earthworms were gently broken, thrown into the water, and made a few ripples.

The two fish spotted it immediately and swam over to compete for food.

It's a pity that before they could eat two more bites, they were squeezed away by a fat, strange fish with long beards.

The strange fish waved its tail, drove the two fish away viciously, and began to enjoy the bait scattered on the water surface by itself.

At this moment, a thin black shadow suddenly pierced over.

puff!

The splashing water jumped up high, and the strange fish was directly stabbed to the point of chilling.

Accompanied by this action, the hunter who was originally disguised as a reed finally revealed his true form.

"As expected of Mr. Roger, you are so fast!"

Eric, with reeds on his head and dried earthworms in his hands, praised from the bottom of his heart.

Roger was as expressionless as ever.

He lifted Eric's harpoon and skillfully unloaded the strange fish from it.

...

"You killed a spiny ballfish"

"You gained 2 XP"

"Your light resistance has been slightly increased"

...

Seeing this attribute, Roger couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

This is the best attribute he has seen in three days.

Strong light resistance probably refers to the ability of the naked eye to resist sudden intense light.

This attribute is useful.

For example, it can be very good against the "glare technique" of Mages.

But to hunt and kill the ballfish for this attribute, the cost performance is very low.

"Let's go to the next place."

Roger's tone remained calm.

Eric froze for a moment, then nodded immediately:

"good."

"The next monster is the Thunder Whale, which looks a bit like a crocodile..."

While leading the way, Eric introduced the information of the monster in detail.

In the past three days, under Eric's leadership, Roger has almost killed all the monsters near Huangshi Island.

There are more than 30 kinds of monsters, large and small.

None of the attributes are useful!

This made Roger couldn't help but doubt life.

I even started to think about the ultimate proposition of "Has I used up all the luck in this life to meet the magic bomber frog?"

Of course it's not without good news.

After at least these three days, he managed to find out the details of Longya Village through Eric and his sister Jon.

Don't look at Eric with a beard and bragging all day long that he is the strongest hunter in Longya Village.

In fact, this kid is only twenty years old...

In terms of experience, he is richer than Jon, who is like a blank sheet of paper.

But in front of an old fritter like Roger, once the chatterbox is pried open, it is no different from streaking.

From his mouth, Roger learned that "Dragon Tooth Village" has a long history and is a human settlement that existed after the catastrophe.

The point is, unlike other human settlements, Longya Village has its own beliefs!

Every winter they hold a grand celebration to express their respect and surrender to the supreme being they believe in.

More unusual is.

No matter how Roger tried, Eric and Jon were unwilling to reveal the existence of the one they believed in.

Others in the village were also silent about this.

But thinking of the name of the village and the profession of their leader, Roger already had guesses in his mind.

...

In order to set off towards the habitat of the Thunder Beast, Eric was preparing to lead Roger around the dangerous puddle ahead.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly sounded above their heads.

Eric didn't even look up, just smiled and said:

"Sister Rachel is back..."

In fact, he doesn't need to remind.

Roger had long noticed the group of flying dragons that suddenly flew across the swamp at a low altitude.

He even noticed that there was a petite figure lying low on the back of the flying dragon beast that flew over first.

"This flying posture... is a bit weird."

As he thought about it, his pupils suddenly shrank——

He saw arrows sticking out of the underbelly of several flying dragon beasts in the back!

They fly and bleed!
