I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 21: Princess Green Dragon

"Keep quiet!"

In the reeds.

A ranger with a full beard hurriedly pressed his index finger to his lips, trying to stop it:

"Forgot how I told you, Jon?"

"In the swamp, be sure to keep quiet!"

The girl behind him couldn't help sticking out her tongue, which suppressed the excitement just now.

She bent down, lowered her center of gravity, and together with her whiskers, she inquired about the situation in the gnoll settlement.

"It's strange, how come I haven't seen anyone... ah!"

Jon was squatting on the ground talking to himself, when suddenly a sudden scream burst out!

"Jon!"

Beard turned back angrily and scolded his sister:

"I told you not to... ah!"

Like Jon, he was startled by the situation behind him and let out an instinctive exclamation.

"Eric, that's not my fault."

Jon said aggrievedly.

Several meters behind them.

A masked man with a rapier looked at the siblings in a relaxed manner.

"You two, what are you doing?"

Roger lowered his voice, his tone was calm.

"Don't get me wrong!"

"We were just passing by."

Bearded Eric, who seems to have some experience, raises his hands with a sincere expression:

"I... can I stand up?"

Roger said:

"At will."

"Thank you... We were really just passing by and felt a little strange when we saw the dead body of the jackal, so we came to have a look. We have absolutely no other intentions!"

Eric fears that Roger will misunderstand their motives.

"Oh, is it? My comrade just went to hunt down those jackals, and it was a coincidence that you guys showed up?"

Roger's tone gradually became severe:

"Or maybe, you followed us early and wanted to fish in troubled waters?"

He is trying to test when these two people came.

Also trying to point out that I'm not alone.

Sure enough.

Eric immediately explained nervously:

"Sir, I swear we haven't seen you and your companions before, let alone followed you."

"We were really just passing by!"

Roger pretended not to believe and continued to sneer:

"Would ordinary people pass through such a dangerous swamp?"

At this time, the girl named Jon couldn't help but interjected:

"Eric didn't lie to you. We just left the village this morning, and we did pass by..."

When Eric heard this, he got angry and gave her a wink.

However, Jon couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes and just explained it awkwardly to Roger.

In her eyes, the siblings are just one piece of adventurers.

But this strange man of unknown origin in front of him is different - he and his partners can destroy the entire gnoll settlement, and their strength is definitely far superior to them.

Explaining and gaining his trust is their only way to survive.

…

"Sure enough, there is a village."

"But from the performance of these two people, it should be just a small village."

Roger's heart sank.

He nodded lightly and said to Jon, who was obviously a novice:

"I believe you. Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to confront each other."

Saying that, he put down the green scorpion sword in his hand.

Both siblings breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Roger's next sentence made their nerves tense again:

"My companions and I came from the west, and we hunted in the swamps for a long time, and we were short of supplies."

"We desperately need a place to replenish fresh water and dry food."

"So, is it convenient to tell me the location of your village?"

Jon's expression turned embarrassed.

She suddenly understood the meaning of Eric's wink just now.

At that moment, countless **** images flashed through her mind.

"Damn, am I going to bring disaster to the village?!"

"No, I must not let him know the real location of the village."

Jon thought so.

But Eric was the first to say:

"Walk a few dozen kilometers to the southwest to get there.

There is a very tall banyan tree near the village, which can be seen even from a distance.

In addition, the land over there is different here. It is a very distinctive bright yellow color, which is easy to identify. "

His expression is still sincere:

"Our village is very hospitable. You can exchange the things you hunt in the swamp for fresh water and food."

Roger watched him quietly for thirty seconds before nodding his head:

"Thank you."

"You can go."

The two brothers and sisters are like receiving amnesty.

Still, they faced Roger and slowly retreated to the edge of the reeds.

They didn't dare to speed away until they couldn't see Roger's face.

Along the way.

"Why do you have to go into so much detail?" Jon couldn't help asking.

"Since it has been revealed that the village is nearby, there is no need to hide the specific location."

Eric shook his head and said:

"And in the situation just now, we can only survive first, and then seek help from the village."

"Let's go back quickly and tell Cindy-sama about this. These people can destroy the gnoll settlement, I am afraid it is not an ordinary adventurer team!"

…

On the other side, Roger, who had sent the two brothers and sisters away, accelerated his search for the gnoll settlement.

He didn't find fresh water.

As for food, there are only baskets of wild lettuce.

Roger picked out a few fresh ones and stuffed them in his backpack.

To be honest, this jackal settlement is surprisingly poor.

Roger suspects he would have found nothing if he hadn't found a gold watch and a large box of broken gold and silver in the chief's room.

"I didn't expect that I almost didn't even earn the cost of maintaining the arrows."

Roger groaned inwardly.

He couldn't help but took a few more lettuces before he was willing to leave.

…

After leaving the gnoll settlement, Roger started his journey in the southwest direction, according to Eric.

After a while, yellow soil appeared in front of me.

As the reeds quickly receded, the visible range became wider~IndoMTL.com~ After half an hour, Roger came to a road.

There is also a decaying road sign on the side of the road, which reads:

"Lettuce Avenue."

He went south along Lettuce Avenue.

Gradually.

There are some human houses on both sides of the road, but they are all abandoned.

Another half hour passed.

Roger encounters an old white-haired man fishing in a small lake by the road.

He pondered for a while, and stepped forward to ask for directions.

The old man's attitude was a little cold, but he still answered Roger's question carefully.

From his mouth, Roger learned a lot of information:

This piece of land is located in the center of the Great Wetland and is called "Yellowstone Island".

If you want to get supplies, there are two inns all the way south along Lettuce Avenue.

The first hotel was called "The Green Dragon Princess".

The old man told Roger that this shop is a black shop, very dangerous, don't approach it!

And the second hotel is called "Thorns".

This is a safe inn run by an elderly, hospitable hill dwarf.

He suggested that Roger bypass the "Green Dragon Princess" and go directly to the "Thorns" hotel.

After Roger heard this, he thought for a moment, thanked the old man, and continued on his way.

After walking for ten minutes, he saw the sign of the Green Dragon Princess.

Roger didn't stop, and stepped forward.

Another moment passed.

He saw the sign of Thorns.

But he still didn't slow down, instead he went around.

It's noon.

Roger saw a green canopy in the distance.

He finally slowed down a bit.

…
