I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 111: The Last Refuge
, the fastest update I really did not target the latest chapter of the Master!
Alan's return is the best news Roger has encountered since recuperating.
This means that the Paramount Estate regains its owner at the same time.
The secrets of the Sierra will also be unlocked.
In Alan's usual old-fashioned tone.
Roger has an idea of where things are going.
……
Alain's research on the Serra River began many years ago.
In the confirmation of many ancient legends.
He gradually discovered that the "Guardian" version was the closest to the real one.
The Sierra River and its upstream Bundry River, including the Death Scar in the primeval forest—
They seem to be an unbreakable boundary, preventing life from the north from going south.
Any transgressor.
Will die like those warthogs.
It's like an artificial boundary!
Only the legendary Guardians have the authority to open and close the borders.
But the Keepers of the Sierra have long since disappeared.
This resulted in the complete closure of the North.
Meanwhile.
The ember cloud, which symbolizes destruction, begins to appear frequently in the north.
Towns are reduced to ruins: unknown dungeons, Tongma Town, Limestone City...
Follow this trend.
All gathering places in the north will be doomed.
This directly led Wellington to build a giant boat of bones, trying to let it go and hit the barrier of the Sierra River.
In front of Cinder Cloud and Boundary River.
Necromancers and warthogs aren't really that much better.
In order to completely solve this problem.
On the eve of the showdown between Roger and the Bone Ship, Alan left everything behind and rushed to the source of the Serra River.
Roger doesn't know what happened to him there and at what price.
But when he came back.
He has become the Keeper of the Serra River.
He is still Alan.
But he's different.
The sixth sense reminds Roger that the soul of the man in front of him is no longer complete.
He's still as erect as he was when we first met.
But the slightly drooping shoulders indicate that what he is carrying now may be ten thousand times heavier than when he was the lord of Dawn.
To this.
Roger has a thousand emotions in his heart.
He actually has a lot of questions for Alan.
But Alan smiled and told him:
"The guards have the rules of the guards."
"I can't tell you anything outside the rules."
Roger asked bluntly:
"I want to know the truth of "Jiehe". Is it true that, as the legend says, all living beings north of the Serra River are descendants of sinners? "
Alan shook his head, nodded again, his expression was a little tangled, and finally said implicitly:
"The sinner's argument is up for debate. As for the truth of Jiehe, I can only tell you two sentences."
"The first sentence, the further south you go, the higher the abundance of magic power. This phenomenon is not unique to the north of the Serra, but the whole of Mystra."
"The second sentence, Mystra is not the only boundary river."
Roger's eyes changed slightly.
These two sentences are very informative.
He read a lot.
But there's more that you don't understand.
But instead of asking, he turned to another topic:
"And what about the ember cloud?"
In the past six months.
Roger is apparently recuperating.
But he never stopped investigating the ember cloud for a moment.
He has been to the limestone city, the underground city, and the town of Tongma.
He wandered under Yuntai Mountain for a long time without finding any clues.
A more sensitive piece of information is that Roger didn't find anyone's body!
Forget the corpse.
Not even blood.
Although all the buildings were destroyed, the people inside seemed to evaporate out of thin air.
In this case.
Roger does not make judgments about the nature of the ember cloud.
It's a pity that Taliyah is still in a severe autistic state, and Roger has no way of knowing from her what happened on the day the ember cloud came.
So he desperately wanted to learn the truth about Embers Cloud from Alan's mouth.
……
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
Alan said apologetically:
"There are only a few words in the knowledge inherited by the Wardens about the description of the ember cloud."
"When an area loses a Warden, the Cinder Cloud will appear frequently; and when a new Warden appears, the Cinder Cloud will disappear."
"This is a very reliable rule."
Roger nodded slightly.
Alan's words inspired him a lot.
His thoughts became clearer.
In Roger's view.
Cinder Cloud appears to be a passively triggered mechanic.
The related factors of triggering are "the survival status of the guardians", "area magic abundance" and so on.
The problem is.
Who has set up so many complex mechanisms on this planet?
Combines the legend of the annihilation and the saying of the sinner.
Roger has a wild guess!
"Assuming Mystra is the "prison" of the nine planets, then it all makes sense! "
"The prisoners are the descendants of the most vicious people, the so-called descendants of sinners."
"The biggest criminal in the prison may be an ancient evil like Ikadore."
"The annihilation of the gods is to fight the ancient evils and eliminate the descendants of criminals."
"Alan implies that there are multiple boundary rivers, hehe, each boundary river is equivalent to a fence, dividing Mystra into regions; and each independent region is not a prison cell!"
"Well, if that's the case, the guards are the jailers."
"And when there is no jailer in a prison, there will be a "Cinder Cloud". The function of the Cinder Cloud may be destruction, and it is the most refreshing after a hundred. It may also be transfer, those destroyed by the Cinder Cloud. The people in the city were just transferred to other "cells"..."
"As for the abundance of mana...lack of clues, no invalid reasoning."
For a while.
Roger's mind radiates infinitely.
"If this is the case, the resistance to leaving this planet will be even greater."
"As soon as I came out of Xinxing Village, I found that I was actually in prison in the past, and I will prepare to escape from prison next."
"It's pretty bald..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help scratching his head, but there was a flash of excitement in his eyes.
But in the end these are just Roger's analysis and speculation.
More clues are needed as to what the truth is.
And the clue is in the South!
Nowadays.
The gates of the South are open to him.
Sierra River Bridge will open normally after Alan becomes the Warden.
Gem City is just around the corner.
"Then."
Alan solemnly lengthened the ending:
"Do you need me to arrange a trial for you?"
"Adventurer?"
Roger shook his head quickly in rejection.
He's just a weak warrior now.
Can't stand too much tossing.
"In half a month."
An appointment has been made with Alan.
Roger returns to Sunro Farm in good spirits.
Begin preparations for the trip to the South.
……
Two days later.
In the warehouse next to the main house.
Roger carefully drops a drop of blood on a mini-coffin.
The coffin is pitch black, with a simple appearance, about half the size of a human.
This thing looks unlucky.
But it's one of two extraordinary things that Wellington left behind!
……
"The Last Refuge (Storage Items/Supernatural Items)"
"Rating: SS"
"Mode 1: Evacuation Mode
In the refuge mode, you will get a 200*200*80 (meter) refuge space. The refuge space has a strong defense capability and can resist the continuous attack of an extraordinary team within 240 hours.
Only once a year"
"Mode 2: Normal Mode
In regular mode, you will get additional storage space, including a main room, a weapons store and two warehouses"
"Requirement to open: Kun's Blood Curse (169 days)"
……
Today is the 169th day of Roger's bleeding.
After a strange shaking.
This coffin finally belongs to Roger.
Although this thing is unremarkable, it is indeed worthy of the evaluation of SS's extraordinary items.
Not to mention the near-invincible evacuation mode.
The regular mode alone is mouthwatering.
Different from other storage items.
This coffin is habitable!
The main room of the sanctuary is a 10*8*6 (meter) space, not only the owner can live in, but also invite guests to come and visit.
Let's decorate here, not only as a bedroom, but also to develop more functional areas.
The warehouses on both sides are purely storage spaces.
Roger can take things directly from the warehouse in the room, but people can't go in.
Each warehouse has 24 slots, for a total of 48.
The storage space of each grid is equivalent to the size of a wardrobe.
This means Roger can carry a lot more.
Worth mentioning is the independent "Arsenal".
Roger did some research.
Discover this thing's arsenal is equivalent to a quick equipment bar, as long as you think about it, the things inside will appear directly in your hand.
It's just that there will be a delay of about 2S in this process, which is not as good as Hidden Swordsmanship, but it is also very practical.
Currently, there are 8 slots in the arsenal, which can hold a lot of Roger's favorite things: smoke bombs, rotten eggs, flash bottles, element bottles, hand tumor bombs, blinding powder... and so on.
With the shelter.
The cauldron has been liberated, and can be used as a medicine refining tool with peace of mind.
The only flaw is that.
This thing is bigger than a cauldron standing upright.
Roger thought that the things he was carrying in the future had changed from tortoise shells to coffins.
I always feel that the force has dropped a lot.
……
Another piece of extraordinary equipment Wellington gave was a "Philosopher's Stone."
As the name suggests.
For a certain amount of money, this stone can be used to enchant unenchanted equipment once.
As long as the money is enough, there is no limit to the enchantment.
However, the effects of enchantments are random.
Roger excitedly tried the red moon.
It turned out to be an addiction.
……
"You enchant the Red Moon (Normal) with a Philosopher's Stone"
"Your enchantment is successful! Chiyue's sharp edge +1"
"Would you like to spend 100 Bronze Tokens for a second enchantment?"
……
Roger tried without hesitation.
……
"You enchant Chiyue (Fengrui +1) with a Philosopher's Stone"
"Your enchantment is successful! Chiyue's durability +1"
"Are you consuming 500 copper tokens to enchant three times?"
……
Roger hesitated and chose to continue.
……
"You enchanted the red moon with a Philosopher's Stone"
"Unfortunately, your enchantment failed and your red moon is damaged"
"Are you spending a little copper to enchant other items?"
……
Clang.
It's not just the sound of the red moon cracking.
It's Roger's heartbroken voice.
He understood, this is a touchstone, it's clearly Kelly's shredder!
The initial enchantment of "Philosopher's Stone" only requires 50 Bronze Tokens.
But the subsequent cost is multiplied!
The key is that failure rates also go up.
Roger had a devil in his heart telling him:
Strengthen it, strengthen it, as long as you spend enough money, you will definitely be able to strengthen a "never damaged" red moon.
Thankfully he restrained himself.
In the end, Roger spent more than half of the money on a single enchantment of all the red moons and some common items.
This way.
He has 106 red moons with different attributes in his hand.
Actually there should have been 126.
……
Except for extraordinary items.
Wellington left Roger with a large amount of money, materials, scrolls and books.
This wealth does not need to be considered for spending for the time being.
And the rest of the equipment.
He picked a few useful items to replace:
A "Purple Scale Inner Armor" with +18 defense replaces the broken Mithril Heart Armor.
A bracer that can only summon wolves, called "The Call of the Wild", was worn on his left wrist.
There is also a "Trader's Boot", which adds a lot of movement speed, and also comes with "Sole Oil" five times a day.
The rest can only be temporarily stored in the warehouse.
……
One week later.
Roger walks on the Sierra Bridge with "The Last Refuge" on his back.
The early autumn wind blew on his face, making it extremely cool.
Behind him.
A mighty team of macho men.
The gargoyle rests on his right shoulder, making a pleasing noise.
Not long.
They came to the other side of the bridge.
The scenery in the distance is unobstructed.
Roger quietly activates his sixth sense.
A flood of images flooded his eyes and mind.
……
On the plain at the end of the horizon.
A towering mountain peaks in the air.
In mid-air at the foot of the mountain.
Six floating roundabouts are in different orbits.
Orbiting around like a satellite.
A waterfall falls on the floating island.
Under the sunlight, the waterfalls sparkled like the most dazzling gems.
Under Floating Islands and Mountains.
It is a devastated ruin.
It is dotted with farms.
It's an obscure gray fog.
It's a deserted cemetery.
Roger closed his eyes and heard Alan's introduction:
On that distant floating island.
The descendants of the first founders of order after the demise are struggling to maintain their power and majesty.
All kinds of open and secret battles never stop.
And below the floating island.
A large number of creatures and monsters gather here.
They are also fighting.
It's just that the theme of the battle becomes survival and reproduction.
This is Gem City.
Different people define him differently.
And for Roger.
He's only worried about how his future siblings are doing now?
How did it reproduce?
Will the population be too small?
"If you can't wait for me to come, it's an endangered species!"
He thought so.
Suddenly and quickly sprints to the southwest.
At the moment when the "full sixth sense" was just activated.
He sensed that someone in front of him was being hurt by a monster!
Sure enough.
Not long after, he saw a white house with a lonely tree on the side of the road.
This time.
A huge dryad has wrapped the entire house ~IndoMTL.com~ A woman's sobbing can be heard faintly from the house.
"My generation is a hero, it's time to be a hero!"
Roger snapped the Dryad with a sin mark.
Then greeted the boys and went up.
A moment later.
……
"You killed a Dryad"
"The hair on both sides of your pubic bone has slightly increased in hardness"
……
"Gan!"
Roger was furious.
……
