I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 392: The Thieves Conference
……
Butterfly Island.
Outside of Pumpkin Town.
Although nothing is known about what's going to happen on the island.
Roger is still quietly using "bluff" over the words of the uniformed man.
Soon.
The uniformed personnel who were supposed to sell him "top-secret information" were actually found out by Roger.
After indifferently draining the remaining value of the uniformed man.
Roger rudely shook it off.
By the way.
He also has a stack of so-called top-secret materials in his hands.
……
Through friendly communication with this person.
Roger learns that a 7-day celebration is taking place on the outskirts of Pumpkin Town.
The celebration was quite grand.
It's the annual highlight of Pumpkin Town.
People from the whole Butterfly Island and even the surrounding Sky Island will come to participate.
And in this celebration.
The most attractive thing is the "triathlon meeting" mentioned by the uniformed man.
Three of the triathlons.
Refers to theft, lock picking and escape.
Therefore.
Triathlons are also known as "thieves".
Although it's a thieves meeting.
But it's really an event for everyone.
The reason is simple.
The organizers have offered great prizes to the winners of the Thieves Conference.
The top 10 will be rewarded with high gold coins.
And the champion has a better chance to win the eternal meal ticket——
He can enter the Butterfly Island owner's estate and get a high-paying job.
Most importantly.
Enjoy your meal!
This.
It's simply too attractive for the inhabitants of Sky Island, whose living conditions are not so good!
Therefore.
At the beginning of the annual Pumpkin Town Festival.
Rogue or not.
Everyone will be eager to sign up.
Under heavy awards.
A series of chaos also breeds as a result
The 'top secret information' in the hands of the uniformed officer just now is a living example.
Roger's heart is like a mirror.
This kind of material that can be bought for a small amount of money is either ineffective.
Either simply is harmful.
……
"I just don't know how many people will be fooled."
Roger smiled silently.
He wandered the streets of Pumpkin Town as if invisible.
While shaking hands, the newspaper slipped from the uniformed man's hand.
The style of this newspaper is very rough.
The above only records some very brief information.
Not so much a newspaper.
It's more like another form of bulletin board.
Roger notices.
It reads like this at the top-
……
"The 9th Annual Pumpkin Town Celebration & Triathlon was funded as in previous years by the generous Mr. Constantine..."
……
below the title.
It is a portrait of a rather kind old man.
His eyes are sunken.
His eyes gleamed with wisdom.
Roger glanced.
A quick look at the old man's background.
He is the owner of Butterfly Island.
Also the founder of the Thieves Convention.
According to a brief introduction in the newspaper.
Roger learns that this Constantine is an "alchemist" of high rank.
He is also the owner of one of the few unmarried Sky Isles.
This information is intriguing.
An alchemist.
Why hold a thieves convention?
Especially in a social context like the floating island.
There are very few serious thieves!
The triathlon is essentially a rookie pecking event!
At least.
Roger learned from the uniformed man that the situation of the previous thieves conference was like this——
……
First.
In terms of unlocking.
The winners of the past generations are basically blacksmiths and the like.
Because it's on Sky Island.
There are very few people who can actually pick a lock.
And the deeper reason is.
Sky Island simply doesn't have many locks for people to open.
Under "Mage Tyranny" in early civilization.
Even the class of thieves is very rare.
There is petty theft.
But professionally unlocked.
Almost none.
……
Then theft.
On this item.
The history of previous winners has been varied.
There are men, women and children of all ages.
Anyway, everyone is wild.
Let's get lucky.
Stealing things didn't take much study at all.
In the case of chickens pecking at each other.
It is said that the competition is fierce every year.
……
As for the final escape.
It is the collectors who have the absolute advantage.
The escape item from the first 8 thieves conventions.
All experienced ground collectors won the championship.
After all, compared to ordinary people.
They have greater escape experience.
Whether it's special terrain or trap traps.
Gatherers who can always escape from life and death crises are naturally more advantageous.
……
In addition to the above three single items.
The top 30 players in the overall score.
Also invited to Constantine's "Alchemy Castle".
Play a fun and exciting Treasure Battle.
According to the uniformed staff.
This project is the finale of the Pumpkin Town Celebration.
Almost everyone will be watching the competition for alchemy chests.
The atmosphere of the conference will also climax at this moment.
To sum up.
Roger cautiously guessed that Mr. Constantine might be using the Hand of Thieves to screen some people who were proficient in all three skills.
As for what he wants to do.
Roger does not have enough information at hand.
It is difficult to analyze specific conclusions.
Tell the truth.
He himself has no interest in the Thieves Conference.
So I just threw away those flyers after a little bit of understanding.
Not long.
Roger takes advantage of the "secret" trait.
He came to the vicinity of the coordinates of the "Mark of the Profound".
Front.
It is a tightly sealed venue.
Roger glanced over.
Accidentally discovered that there is an enchantment guard here!
……
"Alchemy enchantment?"
"This power..."
"Is this the dream ether?"
Roger took a few steps forward.
A sharp sense of nausea rose from his heart.
His stomach churns violently.
As if an indescribable stench was inhaled into his nostrils!
He immediately held his breath and blocked part of his perception!
On the data bar.
……
"Warning: The qi in your body strongly repels the dream ether!"
……
"Sixth sense: You can perceive that Qi is very disgusted by the existence of the dream ether..."
……
Roger frowned.
This is the first time he has encountered this situation!
Air and ether are two energies.
He knows that.
But in the past, he used a lot of magic items.
The anger is not so hypocritical.
This time, however, he approached an area with a high concentration of dream ether.
The reaction of anger was unexpectedly strong.
What does this mean?
Roger took a few steps back.
After alleviating the strong nausea in my heart.
Because of calm thinking and perception.
……
"Just felt that way."
"It's like encountering a corpse that has been rotting for an unknown number of years..."
"Also."
"The so-called dream ether itself is the abnormal energy extracted from a star beast..."
"The distortion density is a bit high..."
Roger walks around the field ahead.
He did not force his way in.
Instead, it collects all the information here.
As he vaguely guessed.
This venue is the final project of the Thieves Tournament, the Neverland of the Chest Battle.
There is a castle within the enchantment.
The Mark of Mystery is inside.
And nine times out of ten it's in a treasure chest!
Roger hesitated.
In the end he chose not to force his way in.
On the one hand.
It's that he needs time to get used to the nausea caused by the dream ether.
On the other hand.
He suddenly sensed a powerful aura looking at him.
It's a very high-profile "Eye of the Watch".
When it is.
The blue eye of surveillance flew over Roger's head.
Out of an abundance of caution.
He uses his skills slightly.
The 541-point stash matches the Ascended's secrecy.
Should be enough to evade the Watching Eye.
In hindsight.
The Watching Eye went around here and never looked back.
The owner should not have spotted Roger.
……
"That's Constantine's eye..."
Glancing at the data column.
Roger showed a brooding look:
"This world is really deformed. Human civilization can hardly survive, but there is no shortage of cutting-edge combat power..."
In between thoughts.
He turns away.
Then he ran to the northeast corner of Pumpkin Town.
After hand-copying a registration form for the Thieves Conference.
He wrote the name "Charr" in the final signature column.
After posting the name in the already stuffed "Contestant Mailbox".
He quietly left Pumpkin Town.
What prompted Roger to make this decision.
No other factor.
Just some information about Constantine that he just sensed.
……
"Constantine (Alchemist/LV149/Creator/Sky Guardian/Redeemer/Hero Template...)"
……
"Slander Wolf: Information error! Constantine's real information is being updated..."
……
"Constantine's level corrected to LV179+"
……
It's outrageous to have such a big guy in a small 8th history world!
For a moment.
Roger even suspects that Killing Mask is level 179!
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Because it is person and authority that conflict with each other.
If Killing Mask was really that fierce.
I am afraid he will directly target himself with a method similar to "shoot to kill"!
"Killing Mask is certainly not immortal."
"But it always feels like he's immortal..."
"No, I have to kill him before he is immortal..."
Thinking about it.
Roger's mood was a little less calm.
He's not immortal.
Only if you can't level up a few more times before immortality.
It's a waste of time...
Of course.
Killing Mask really pushes him.
Roger will also attempt to initiate the Immortal Ritual directly!
In XP anyway.
He's always been careful.
……
All in all.
Under the intimidation of the Immortal Alchemist.
Roger decided to keep the good tradition of keeping a low profile.
Obviously choose to participate.
The day he signed up was Day 2 of the Pumpkin Town Festival.
The first item of the Thieves Conference will not start until the night of the 4th day.
So Roger has plenty of time to do some homework.
You can also learn more about the ecology of Sky Island.
And with Ripley's help.
Intelligence gathering is going very well.
……
After 2 days.
Pumpkin Town.
The lights are on.
In a dense forest north of Butterfly Island.
The 'Drow Brothers', who have long been dressed differently from when they came, are talking in detail——
……
"...that's pretty much what happened 30 years ago."
Ripley paused:
"Honestly I always find it very bizarre."
"The ecological environment of Sky Island does not have the soil for the growth of top rogues."
"That 'Killing Mask' seems to have popped out of nowhere! "
"He came strangely and went strangely, just like a real legend..."
Roger nodded.
Ripley's report matches the intelligence he's been collecting over the past few days.
Roughly.
He also figured out the 30-year-old past that was out of context with historical knowledge-
……
30 years ago.
The friction between the mage and the non-mage community has intensified.
The Gatherers negotiate yet another strike to counter the tyranny of the mages.
And this time.
The mages don't seem to be about to back down.
They got really angry.
A lot of people died on the floating island at that time.
The situation for the non-lawyer community took a dramatic turn for the worse.
And right now.
Killing Mask is born!
He is dressed in night clothes.
Masked single sword.
First shot.
He cut off the heads of all the mages on a marginal island at that time!
The next day.
The message is out.
The entire floating island was shocked!
Furious future mages have dispatched a "safety mobile team".
They begin a blanket search of the island in the sky.
The Killable Mask has shown incredible power.
Before him.
Due to the ageing of civilizations.
Only wizards and a few spellcaster classes display greater than extraordinary power.
And this time.
Killing Mask demonstrates the strengths of an elite rogue.
He eluded the mobile team several times first.
This was followed by a beheading operation targeting a weaker group of mages.
This time, the mages on Sky Island were panicking.
Many of the weaker mages began to huddle together for warmth.
The mobile team was repeatedly pressured.
The two sides pursued and escaped day and night.
The most intense time.
Killing Mask almost escaped to the "Heaven and Human Platform" where the sky and the surface meet!
And the mobile team mages, who have always been afraid of the surface environment, also gritted their teeth and killed them.
It was beyond their expectations.
Killing Mask mysteriously disappeared before their eyes.
When the mobile team that was transferred from Hulishan returned to the main city of Sky Island.
The future city lord at that time.
Also the deputy leader of the future organization.
His entire family was found in a pool of blood.
All dead are beheaded with one stroke.
The sharpness of the knife is amazing.
This time.
Killing Mask is a complete battle to fame!
The extreme non-lawyer group worships him very much.
Think of him as a savior from heaven.
But there are also some who criticize his attitude towards killing innocents regardless of age.
No matter what.
The appearance of Killing Mask savagely killed a wave of mages' arrogance.
The next three months.
He reduces the number of shots.
But the target is even more unpredictable.
A mage whose name is declared out falls to the ground.
Blood infected every inch of Sky Island's air.
The unlawful crowd gradually turned from cheering to silent.
Because they suddenly found out.
Killing Mask was not there and they were fighting.
He seems to just want to satisfy his **** for murder.
It just happened to be a mage!
One time later.
He even attacked a family of ordinary people who were not mages.
The reason is simply that they work for a mage who claims to be pretty good!
He killed more and more fiercely.
No survivors were left at the scene of the killing.
Sky Island is in unprecedented panic!
However.
Three months later.
The future organization that has been conspiring for a long time has finally released a big move.
By some means, they pinpointed where Killing Mask was hiding.
Then he was thrown into the turbulence of time and space through a large-scale ban on exile.
Of course.
To the outside world they claim to have completely killed Killing Mask.
This is what Ripley took a lot of work to find out.
……
"So ~IndoMTL.com~ he was thrown into the turbulent time and space, and ended up in the "Dinosaur Villa" by accident? Got a sterling silver mask? "
Roger stroked his chin.
Ripley nodded:
"It should be."
"If it is time and space turbulence, it can explain the confusion of time 30 years ago."
"By the way, I heard another gossip."
"However, this news is of average credibility."
Roger raised his eyelids:
"What news?"
Ripley pondered:
"According to the future organization's internal dossier."
"Killing Mask is a demonic monster..."
