I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 23: Beast Tamer

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

Rachel was once a resident of Longya Village.

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

One time later.

Rachel mysteriously disappeared for several months.

When she came back, there was a group of flying dragon beasts beside her.

The dragon beasts only follow her orders.

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

Rachel is reclusive and shy, but she has a very kind heart.

She knows the "Great Wetland" like the back of her hand, and she is willing to help others by taking advantage of the flying dragon beast's impressive carrying capacity.

Many adventurers have ridden Rachel's Dragon Express.

Of course, Dragon Express is not free.

Cindy hints to Roger:

Rachel's mission may be more troublesome than her own.

…

Nonetheless.

Roger still wanted to talk to the master animal trainer himself to see if she could take him through the wetlands.

Roger's goal is the City of Gems.

Before he set off, he asked Terry for directions.

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 Gem City.

According to Terry.

Roger just had to head south through the wetlands to reach a place called "Paramount Manor".

That's Terry's hometown.

It is also a gathering place for people who are very friendly to outsiders.

The Paramount Estate is just a stone's throw away from the Gem City.

There are rich resources and beautiful land.

But at the same time, along 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.

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

Compared with the former, Roger actually cares more about the latter.

He is quite curious about the background of this world.

This curiosity is all the more necessary after knowing that this might be a game world.

Only a place with a more complete inheritance is more likely to obtain information on history, humanities, and worldviews.

As of now.

Roger's knowledge of Mystra is limited to the legend of the gods who destroyed the world in the old population of Tongma Town.

Considering that in mythology, such outrageous descriptions as "nineteenth-level spells" can appear.

Roger remains skeptical about the authenticity of the myth.

After all, that's a level 190 or higher power!

…

That afternoon.

Roger traveled across Yellowstone Island, bypassing several groups of ill-intentioned refugees, and successfully found the residence of the master animal trainer.

It's a pity that Rachel isn't home.

The dragon beast Cindy had spoken of was nowhere to be seen.

However, it can be seen from the feces scattered among the gravel piles that there are indeed some Yalong creatures living here.

"Cindy didn't lie."

Roger nodded inwardly.

The dragon priest told him before he came:

Rachel took her dragon beasts to the depths of the marsh for food, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to return.

Many traces at the scene also confirm this.

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

The next few days.

He found a safe spot between Longya Village and the residence of the master animal trainer and set up camp.

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

The monster resources around Yellowstone Island are very rich.

There are many that he hadn't seen before in the northern swamp.

Roger hunts these mobile "attributes" with 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 smashed several ripples.

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

It's a pity that before they could eat two more bites, they were pushed aside by a chubby monster with long beards.

The strange fish waving its tail fiercely drove the two fish away, and feasted on the bait scattered on the water by itself.

At this moment, a thin black shadow suddenly stabbed.

Pfft!

The splash of water jumped high, and the strange fish was directly stabbed and chilled.

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

"As expected of Mr. Roger, what a fast hand speed!"

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

Roger is as deadpan as ever.

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

…

"You killed a stingray"

"You gained 2 XP"

"Your glare resistance has been slightly increased"

…

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

This is the best attribute he's seen in three days.

Strong light resistance, probably refers to the naked eye's resistance to light that suddenly becomes strong.

This attribute is useful.

For example, it can be very good against Master's "Glare".

However, for this attribute to hunt and kill the baldfish, the cost-effectiveness is very low.

"Go to the next place."

Roger's tone remained calm.

Eric was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Okay."

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

As Eric led the way, he introduced the monster's information in detail.

In the past three days, under the leadership of Eric, Roger has almost killed all the monsters near Yellowstone Island.

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

None of the attributes are useful!

This makes Roger doubt life.

I even began to think about the ultimate proposition of "Have I used up all my luck in my life when I met a magic frog?"

Of course it's not without good news.

At least for the past three days, he successfully passed Eric and his sister Jon, and got a good feel for the bottom of Longya Village.

Don't look at Eric's long beard and boasting that he is the strongest hunter in Longya Village~IndoMTL.com~ Actually, 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's no different from running naked.

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

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

Every winter they hold a grand celebration to honor and surrender to the Supreme Being of their faith.

It's rather strange.

No matter how Roger tried, Eric and Jon were reluctant to reveal who they believed in.

Others in the village remained silent.

But thinking of the name of the village and the occupation of their leader, Roger already had a guess in his mind.

…

In order to set off towards the Razer beast's habitat, Eric is preparing to take Roger around the dangerous puddle ahead.

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

Eric didn't even look up, he said with a smile:

"Sister Rachel is back..."

In fact, he didn't need to remind him.

Roger had already noticed the group of flying dragons that suddenly swept across the marsh at a low altitude.

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

"This flight attitude... is a bit strange."

He thought so, and suddenly his pupils shrank——

He saw arrows stuck in the lower abdomens of several dragon beasts behind him!

They're flying and bleeding!

…
