I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

Town Hall Square.

When Roger arrived.

The place is overcrowded.

Ordinary people who heard the news filled the square with water.

Inside the square.

The doors and windows of all rooms in the city hall building are tightly closed.

Roger noticed.

Most of the windows and doors have been battened down from the inside.

But even so.

People in this castle-like deep building were also shrouded in fear.

Those eyes that flickered through the cracks in the doors and windows revealed that the city's authorities had long lost control of the situation.

for all this.

Roger was not surprised.

On the way here.

He deliberately selected a few people to negotiate in depth.

Under the effect of both bluff and bread.

He now has a general understanding of the city and the current situation.

...

For Lotus City.

Chaos is not the norm.

The city once prospered—

The initial trigger was famine.

Even the people at the bottom know it clearly.

The source of Lotus City's decline is the rise of "Blood of Myriad Foulness" in the south.

since then.

The Blood Worshipers pouring out from the southern cemetery invaded the main road leading to the north from Lotus City.

Under the isolation of blood mist.

Lotus City lost the granary they had operated in the southern cemetery for nearly a hundred years.

Hunger thus began to spread.

People were forced to turn their eyes back to the sea.

But it didn't take long for the blood mist to appear.

The black mist on the sea is also getting thicker day by day!

Many fishing boats that ventured out to sea never returned after sailing into the black mist.

All this pushed Lotus City into the abyss completely.

land.

ocean.

With the passage of time.

There is no longer an inch of space to feed the huge population in this city.

at the same time.

The forces of blood worshipers also began to invade the city from the southern cemetery.

The old city lord who had been addicted to 'illusion' and 'heart powder' in recent years was beaten to death in his mansion by blood worshipers half a month ago.

The rest of the officials managed to maintain order in the city hall.

But chaos once ignited.

It was like a wildfire spreading in the city.

This situation is out of their control.

The population base of Lotus City is quite large.

Therefore, there is no shortage of capable nobles or generals in this city.

They are just afraid.

Fear the two driving forces behind famine and chaos—

Whether it is blood mist or black mist.

Behind them stands a god that they can only look up to!

It's not that the people in Lotus City haven't tried it.

only.

After the chief archmage and the glorious knights died one after another.

The remaining courage in people's hearts was also extinguished in turn.

Smart people have long realized that the city has been reduced to a battlefield.

The saddest of all.

They are not on either side of the war.

They are just fodder for war.

With the support of the blood of all filth.

The fearless Blood Worshipers are moving towards their goal step by step.

And the only "Black Mist Cultist" in this city who can fight against them is even more infamous in terms of reputation——

In the early years.

Lotus City was still prosperous.

The group of Black Mist Cultists from the deep sea made waves many times.

But those times were suppressed by the archmage first.

Unfortunately.

That is a thing of the past.

Today's Lotus City has completely lost its guardian, and has become a piece of fat that two ancient evils are vying for.

Those who have the means have fled here long ago.

The rest of the people may be in a daze.

Or complicit.

There are also people who are silently waiting for the day when the city will be destroyed.

As for hope.

That is a term that has long been forgotten by the residents of Lotus City.

Every sober person Roger dealt with urged him to leave at the end of the conversation.

It can be seen from this.

How hopeless the city has become.

...

"Extraordinary Perception: You have noticed that the 'Son of Blood God' is greedily absorbing negative emotions such as despair, hunger, pain, and numbness from the residents of the city..."

...

"Knowledge (Theology): You have read in a book of the Church of the Sea Serpent, 'Emotions are a kind of power to the gods'"

...

"Create famine, spread panic, induce people to actively disrupt order..."

"No wonder the system that has always been boring has triggered the "Evil Elimination Mission". "

"The ancient evils really can't be trusted."

square edge.

Roger's heart is like a mirror.

The blood of the filth and the touch of the endless are playing cards——

They just want to harvest the "power of emotion" from the people of Lotus City.

The internal strife among the ancient evils is at best an internal struggle caused by uneven distribution.

Their essence and means are actually the same.

And in most places in Mystra.

The harvesting methods of the ancient evils are indeed unsolvable.

They were able to survive the last round of the World Annihilation Forbidden Curse.

Compared with humans and other races whose civilization is almost broken, the advantage is too great!

It is difficult for humans and other races to produce strong enough to wrestle with them in a short period of time.

Judging from their proficient harvesting techniques.

The ancient evils have formed a streamlined model for doing this.

It's no wonder that Roger felt that the evil gods he encountered were similar.

That's because they do operate in a similar fashion!

...

"The ancient evil harvested emotions, probably to improve its own strength, so as to fight against the forbidden curse of annihilation."

"Looking at it this way, the human beings of the last few generations may not have all been killed by the World-Destroying Forbidden Curse. They may have been drained dry by ancient evils before the coming of the World-Destroying Forbidden Curse..."

"If no one stops this, similar tragedies will happen over and over again."

Think here.

Roger sighed softly in his heart.

In fact, the most sensible thing for him right now is to return to Qingquanzong first.

Then gather a force of his own.

Then came the frantic gathering of intelligence.

Prior to inquiring about the weaknesses of the blood of the filthy and others, mediation is the main focus.

It would be best to invite the Sea Serpent Queen to help out.

Until the time comes.

Then start the eradication of the ancient evils...

only.

this time.

He doesn't want to be so 'sensible' anymore!

He used to be cautious and steady, as immobile as a mountain.

That's because of being weak and unknown.

But now that his strength has soared, if he cherishes his life too much, what is the difference from being a coward?

Hard work and a good skill.

It's not for decoration!

With this in mind.

Roger decisively accepted the "Evil Demon Mission"!

"The road to pacify the ancient evils."

"Let's start from Lotus City!"

The fighting spirit in his eyes gradually boiled up.

...

square edge.

The people were silent.

I can tell.

They still have some respect for the people in the city hall.

But those blood worshipers with red cloth strips tied around their arms don't care about it!

They clamored for City Hall to open the non-existent spare granary, and frantically smashed the doors and windows of nearby buildings.

While smashing, looting and burning.

The core members of the Blood Worshipers will also throw some bread from time to time.

These black breads are the main reason why the people followed spontaneously.

Most of the populace don't really want to join forces with the Blood Cultists.

But those who pick up the bread are often coerced into the crowd of cultists.

under the stimulus of the environment.

They will often involuntarily follow the smashing, looting and burning!

for a while.

The officials hiding in the house could no longer tell which ones outside were the real blood worshipers and which ones were ordinary people.

Fortunately, they sealed the gate very firmly.

The Blood Worshipers clashed for a while without success.

But once the clamorous emotions spread.

Then some can't clean up.

after awhile.

The crowd fell silent a little.

A Blood Worshiper who looked somewhat prestigious stood at the foot of the stone sculpture in the center of the square and shouted loudly:

"They stole your food!"

"The rulers of this city are hiding in their homes and enjoying delicious food. They have spare granaries, and they can even eat fruit and beef!"

"And what about you? You can only watch your parents, children, wives or husbands starve to death!"

"It's not fair!"

"But what can you do?"

"You can only be trampled under their feet, without dignity, and die silently!"

...

"I know some of you are still thinking about their fake kindness in the past, but it's all fake, otherwise when the disaster happens——

Why didn't the city lord take the lead?

Why did the Archmage abscond alone?

What about the glorious knights who claim to guard the city?

all fake!

all fake!

Only the "blood of filth" is the most real.

He gave us bread to satisfy our hunger.

Clothing that can cover the body.

He enables us to live!

As long as you silently say His name with me... He will give more bread! "

...

The man was dancing and talking.

However, at this moment.

A shrill voice sounded:

"You are a liar!"

"Your bread is poisonous!"

"My son ate your bread and turned into a monster, I saw it with my own eyes!"

There was a sudden silence all around.

But I saw a thin figure crawling over from the ground.

It was a wrinkled old woman.

She seemed to have her legs broken, but she crawled out of the crowd with her hands!

"it's him!"

"It was he who threw that cursed bread to my son!"

"I went to find him, but he broke my legs..."

The old woman complained bitterly of the speaker's crimes.

The crowd was noisy.

Those who picked up the bread showed uneasy expressions.

Because they've swallowed it all!

"Get rid of her!"

The speaker was furious:

"She's lying!"

"The bread given by God will never have any curse..."

Immediately, two Blood Worshipers stepped forward.

They approached the old woman vigorously.

Where the two passed by.

Everyone subconsciously moved out of the way.

People in the city hall also found out what was happening outside.

But they can't do anything.

He could only silently watch the two thugs walk towards the helpless old man from the crack of the door.

"Those who slander the glory of God."

"die!"

One of the Blood Cultists frantically grabbed the old man's hair.

Then he raised his fist violently.

Shout out!

The fist has not yet fallen.

He flew upside down like a kite with a broken string!

After knocking down a dozen people along the way.

The body of the Blood Worshiper fell to the ground.

Everyone took a closer look.

Beside the old woman.

There was a young man in white clothes and black pants.

His voice was steady and powerful.

With a natural credibility:

"Want to kill someone?"

"Coincidentally, I also have a friend who turned into a monster after eating your bread."

"I came here today to ask you Blood Worshipers for an explanation."

talking.

Roger glanced briefly at the data bar.

...

"Record: You used the 'Kaishan Fist' to kill a blood worshiper."

...

"Income from the demon slaying task: You have obtained the fairy bone fragment*1"

...

"Remarks: 1000 fairy bone fragments can be exchanged for the first fairy bone"

...

"Immortal Bone: One of the unique specialties of upgraded martial artists.

Refining one's own bones with great perseverance, raising them to a level beyond ordinary people is the "fairy bone";

The fairy bone has a great bonus to the performance of martial arts;

Most fairy bones will provide additional 'Qi';

Each fairy bone will have a separate additional attribute;

...

The upgrade requirement for a Qi refiner is to have at least 3 fairy bones."

...

"It turned out to be a fairy bone?"

See here.

The killing intent in Roger's eyes was even worse.

"kill him!"

The speakers were also unambiguous.

He knew that he had encountered an enemy who deliberately provoked them, but in this Lotus City, they had never encountered a decent opponent!

at his command.

Hundreds of Blood Cultists poured out of the crowd.

Ordinary people fled.

Almost instantly.

Centered on Roger.

A large area was vacated in the square!

The Blood Worshipers rushed over screaming.

at the same time.

Roger noticed.

Not far from the city hall, the barracks with its doors closed had faint movements.

A small group of soldiers with fierce faces sneaked in among the blood worshipers!

...

"Sixth Sense: You have noticed a large number of Blood Worshipers in the Seventh Barracks, and the number is more than 2,000."

...

In Roger's perception.

All the soldiers in that barracks have been transformed into LV59 "Blood Worshipers"!

They have lost their sense of being human.

It has become a monster that only obeys the orders of its superiors!

"Pity."

between thoughts.

The Blood Worshipers who rushed to the front were already less than five steps away from him!

Face these twisted lunatics.

Roger just scratched the back of his head casually.

next moment.

There was an extra silky hair in his hand.

call!

He blew gently!

...

"Specialty: Hozen Clone Technique"!

...

In an instant.

That hair rises in the wind.

In the end, it turned into three thousand figures!

This miraculous scene stunned everyone!

But seeing that all four corners of the central square are occupied by guys in white clothes and black pants!

at the fingertips.

Three thousand Rogers come on stage——

There is Roger standing on the statue.

Some Roger leaning on a branch.

And Roger simply rode on the heads of the blood worshipers!

...

"Today, only the Blood Worshipers will be killed. Please leave the rest who have nothing to do with it."

The Rogers said in unison.

Immediately afterwards.

Shocking screams came from the square!

Although it is only 1/10 of the combat power of the main body.

Although the Rogers only use mountain punches.

Although the Blood Worshipers looked menacing...

But from the very beginning of this melee, Roger's army has firmly gained the upper hand!

Cultists have always been a mob.

And after Roger's body silently killed those leaders hiding in the crowd.

They are left with nothing but being runaway!

They can't beat them one-on-one.

What's more, Roger has an absolute advantage in numbers!

puff!

puff!

puff!

The sound of punching to the flesh was continuous.

The Blood Worshipers were soon defeated by Roger.

Near the Municipal Square.

Everyone looked at Roger in shock.

After beating this wave of Blood Worshipers to death.

Roger didn't stop.

Instead, he went straight to the barracks next to him!

As if to echo his movements.

The gate of the barracks also opened suddenly.

A large number of blood-worshiping warriors stepped out neatly.

They are dressed in heavy armor, holding elite soldiers, with indifferent expressions and fierce eyes.

"kill!"

A real melee is imminent.

The lightly armored martial artists ran into the well-defended Blood Worshipers head-on.

It's like a stream rushing over the reef!

in front of these tough enemies.

Roger's avatar began to wear out.

However, each avatar can also take away 1 or 2 blood worshiping warriors before dying!

In the melee.

Roger's body has been floating on the edge of the battlefield.

He wanted to find the guy who was secretly manipulating these blood worshiping warriors first.

But the fighting on the frontal battlefield is really too powerful.

Not long.

Such a message came from the data bar.

...

"You killed 1 blood worshiper, and you have killed 1210 blood worshipers in total (including blood worshipers)"

...

"You got the fairy bone fragment*1"

...

"Your fairy bone fragments have accumulated more than 1000 pieces, do you want to exchange for 1 fairy bone?"

...

"You got 1 fairy bone: invisible sword bone"

...

"Invisible Sword Bone (Level 1 Immortal Bone/Right Forearm)"

"Basic: Provide 1000 additional points of Qi"

"Tempering 1: You can designate a sword weapon to turn it into an 'invisible blade'"

...

"Tempering 2: You have obtained an additional life sword slot (estimated effect) (not achieved)"

...
