I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

055 Jonny Turtle

The Sierra River Bridge is a very special case.

As the only bridge connecting the two sides of the Sera River, its existence itself can be described as a miracle.

It is a building that existed on the eve of the catastrophe.

After the catastrophe, it stands still.

than other forgotten bridge ruins on the Sierra.

The bridge is naturally shrouded in a strong sense of history and mystery.

In the early days, the bridge was considered a cursed place.

Because at that time.

Any adventurers trying to cross the bridge will disappear without a trace in the mist and wind that suddenly rises on the river!

the next day.

People would see their bodies floating on the river.

There is a theory that these corpses are the origin of "water ghosts".

After a long time.

Bridges are naturally considered horrible structures that carry curses.

However, this misunderstanding was gradually dispelled later.

Because someone tried to row across the Sera River, but the end was the same as crossing the bridge.

After a series of explorations, people finally realized that the curse itself is not on the bridge, but on this bottomless river!

The saying that "there is a terrible monster hiding at the bottom of the Sera River" also began to spread like wildfire.

After that, most people gave up their plans to cross the river.

Paramount Estates and Gem City are also in absolute severance.

until one day.

A wise and brave adventurer came here.

After careful exploration and research, he found a way to safely cross the Sera River.

That is to walk directly across the bridge during the coldest days of the year.

There will be no fog, and there will be no high winds.

Because at that time the Sera River was covered with thick ice!

The adventurer became the first person to successfully cross the Sera River.

He went to the Jewel City and came back here.

With the support of everyone, he single-handedly established Paramount Manor.

The name of "witty Alan" spread.

In order to prevent others from entering by mistake.

Alan built a solid fortress at the head of the bridge.

Two garrisons were stationed near the fort.

And the key to the iron gate on the bridge is even hidden in Alan's secret room.

This has led to the fact that only the lord himself has the ability to open the two thick iron doors.

Given Alan's reputation, the adventurers didn't dare to say anything.

Everyone is honestly waiting for the arrival of the cold winter.

But an accident happened.

Last winter, Alan did not open the iron gate.

The "weatherman" of the Lord's Mansion claimed that last winter's climate was relatively hot, and the ice layer on the river was not thick enough, making it dangerous to cross the river.

So the group of adventurers who wanted to go to Gem City stayed in Shuguang Town.

They are prepared to wait another year.

Who knew this etc.

What we waited for was the news that the bridge is still not open this winter!

...

The above is the relevant news that Roger spent 10 copper tokens to inquire about.

The announcement was recently posted.

The bulletin board was full of people, at least fifty or sixty at a glance, all strong and strong adventurers.

They discussed in low voices and expressed their opinions.

Someone whispered, venting their dissatisfaction.

But no one dared to stand up and question the decision of the Lord's Mansion.

Alan's prestige can be seen.

After reading the announcement carefully again.

Roger turned around and walked into the town.

...

The situation in Dawn Town is better than Roger imagined.

The well-proportioned houses and the well-connected roads are clearly planned rationally.

The hygiene situation is equally gratifying.

There are even full-time animal excrement collectors on the side of the road.

"There is a perfect sewer system."

"It's much better than Tongma Town."

Roger was amazed.

It seems that there is no reason for Alan to be praised by so many people.

At least when it comes to the planning and governance of the town.

Roger saw a lot of bright spots beyond the era.

for example.

There is a special area in Shuguang Town for information exchange.

It was a square with simple wooden sheds.

Each wooden shed corresponds to a different information exchange area.

"Farm Area", "Adventurer Area", "Public Affairs Area", "Commercial Area" and so on.

People can get the latest information by reading the bulletin boards in various areas.

You can also spend a small fee and post your needs on the corresponding bulletin board.

In this way, the communication needs of the residents are greatly facilitated.

If it's just a bulletin board, Roger has also seen it in Tongma Town.

But such a neat design from top to bottom.

It was indeed the first time I saw him.

At the entrance of the square, there are even several booths that help illiterate residents write announcements!

The prosperity of Shuguang Town can be seen.

...

Roger wandered around Dawn Town all day.

Finally, I came to a grocery store in a remote location.

Roger found this grocery store on the bulletin board in the "Commercial District".

It is said to be a store for adventurers.

Roger walked in and found that the store had a complete range of products.

Not only did he buy the "developing potion" he wanted here.

By the way, a wave of "macho belts" has been filled in, the main content is as follows:

...

"Lime bag: quicklime powder, which has a blinding effect and generates heat when it meets water"

"Flash bottle: A black bottle full of light elements, when smashed, it will produce a flash effect"

"Smoke bomb: a thrown object that can generate a cloud of choking fog that obscures the enemy's vision"

...

Unfortunately, "Acid Bottle" and "Stinky Egg" are out of stock.

Otherwise Roger would have bought some.

After all, walking the rivers and lakes.

Be prepared.

...

It was dusk when we left the grocery store.

Dawn Town implements a semi-curfew system, so Roger hastened his pace back to the Charcoal Inn.

Things are really troublesome with the Sierra River Bridge.

He planned to go to the town to find a way out tomorrow.

See if you can get online with the Lord's Mansion and find out more useful news.

Walk on the path between the farms.

Roger was not idle either, holding a handbook of common monsters compiled by scholars from the Lord's Mansion and reading with relish.

while walking.

His pace gradually slowed down.

There is a feeling of being targeted!

The next moment, there was a dark wind behind Roger.

Ti Yunzong acted instinctively.

Roger jumped to distance himself, looked back, and saw a tiger-headed tiger...

turtle? !

"Is it Johnny Turtle?"

Roger recognized the monster that was trying to attack him.

The tortoise's shell is about one meter in diameter, and when it lays down on the ground, it looks like a manhole cover.

He quickly lost a hope spell.

...

"Jonny Turtle LV22 Life 470 Defense 49 Weak Thunder"

"Trait 1: Absolute Defense"

"Absolute Defense: Jonny Turtle can retract its limbs and head into its shell. At this stage, its defense ability will be greatly improved."

"Trait 2: Ferocious Assault"

"Ferocious raid: Jonny Turtle has extremely fast movement speed, especially when it is fully charged, its movement speed will be greatly increased"

...

When Roger was stunned, the Jonny Turtle rushed over in hot pursuit.

Its target is the bulging dark space on Roger's waist!

Roger jumped back deftly, pulled out the green clam sword with his backhand, and stabbed suddenly!

Bang bang bang bang!

The tip of the sword slashed across Jonny's neck, drawing sharp lightning on the turtle's shell.

"It really is absolute defense."

Roger bared his teeth, and put away the Qingfu Sword with a bit of distress.

The Jonny turtle on the ground flexibly stretched out its limbs and head, its sharp teeth were exposed in the air, and it let out a low growl at Roger.

It is pressing.

Roger could only step back.

He had just read the monster manual and knew something about it.

This Jonny Turtle is the biggest hidden danger in Paramount Manor right now!

This guy is a ring 3 monster, not only has amazing defense, but also moves faster than most adventurers.

Although they don't hurt people, they are equally evil.

Most of the residents of Paramount Estates have been stolen or robbed by Jonny the Turtle.

Food, weapons, gold and silver, clothes...

Johnny Turtle wants it all!

From the property point of view.

This thing has thick blood and high defense, and is very difficult to kill.

The most troublesome thing is.
