I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 53: Men’s Belt
Night.
The backyard of the Charcoal Inn.
The voices are full of people.
Accompanied by the crackling bonfires and the sizzling barbecue, the elegant and clear scales of the lute seem to bring a touch of fireworks that are both salty and bland.
Kegs of beer are carried from the cellar by waiters.
People in different clothes cheered and celebrated the rare night.
In the corner.
Next to a separate barbecue grill.
Chunks of beef and a whole lamb rib are constantly being tumbled.
Roger skillfully applies honey and sauces to the ingredients.
A gurgling gurgling sound came from beside him.
"I think it's ready to eat."
Rachel looked around for a moment, then muttered with a serious expression.
"Here, eat this first."
Roger didn't embarrass the hungry girl and passed a sausage over.
Rachel bites off half of it in one bite.
The oily-yellow juice that was so sweet and greasy splashed out and splashed on her face. The girl nimbly stuck out her tongue and licked it clean.
After eating a whole sausage, Rachel stares at the grilled lamb chops.
Roger smiled and gently advised:
"Wait."
"It's just released."
Rachel's cheeks bulged slightly, but she nodded earnestly.
In the backyard, a bard holding a lute raises his hand.
The style of the song changed suddenly, from melodious to cheerful.
Some people dressed as adventurers whistled, while others danced wildly.
Even Roger couldn't help speeding up his work.
Everything seemed so cheerful.
Seemingly aware of Roger's mood change, Rachel took the initiative to say:
"Paramount is a great place."
Roger nodded.
He already felt it.
"Can you tell me the story of Paramount Manor?"
"And the lord that everyone praises."
asked Roger softly.
Rachel looked at the red lamb chops and said with a small face:
"Then let me try."
In the straightforward narrative unique to the girl, Roger has a general understanding of this land.
…
Paramount Manor consists of more than two dozen nearby farms and "Dawn Town".
The lord's name is "Alan Dominic", a hero recognized by the local residents.
From an existential threat perspective.
The abundance of magic power here is similar to that of Tongma Town. It is a rare magic depression in Mystra - which means relatively few monsters and livable water and soil.
It also means that the place can support a larger population.
From a geographic point of view.
The south of the manor is separated from the Gem City by a river.
The north is bordered by sparsely populated swamps.
To the northwest are the inaccessible mountains.
And to the east is the bustling "Knights Avenue".
Adventurers from the north gather here.
They need to cross the bridge over the Serra River to get to the Gem City.
This created the necessary conditions for the prosperity of the estate.
…
"Anyway, everything is fine here."
After nibbling on a lamb chop, Rachel seriously licked the honey juice off her fingers before continuing:
"Except for Jonny Turtle. "
"Joanie Turtle?"
Roger took a sip of the hotel's homemade tree bubble drink and couldn't help but burp several times.
"A very troublesome monster, you can easily encounter it."
Rachel hugged another lamb chop and nibbled happily.
Roger laughed and asked casually:
"Since this place is so good, why not consider living here?"
Rachel answered vaguely:
"If I settle here, what about the adventurers who pass by Yellowstone?"
"No one will pick them up."
Roger's heart moved:
"You plan to stay on Yellowstone forever?"
Rachel said yes with a "hmmm".
Roger was a little surprised. He thought Rachel would leave with Cindy and the others.
"That's my home."
The girl finally opened her mouth to speak.
Roger nodded slightly and put down the cutlery.
The atmosphere in the yard became more lively.
It seems that a young man proposed to his childhood sweetheart.
The crowd laughed and booed, surrounding the two of them.
Listen to the descriptions of others.
The blushing girl is the niece of the owner of the Charcoal Inn.
The young man is the second son of Tiger's farm owner.
I just passed the knight certification examination in Dawning Town a few days ago, and the future is bright.
The two finally embraced and had a deep kiss.
The atmosphere reached its climax.
"I'm full."
Rachel looked at the lively crowd expressionlessly, rubbing her bulging belly with both hands.
After a while.
She looked at Roger with those bright eyes and said:
"You were the first adventurer to treat me to barbecue."
"Thank you."
Roger got up and smiled:
"You're welcome."
…
Late at night. in a hotel room.
Placing the huge cauldron at the head of the bed, Roger begins to move things out piece by piece.
He's been on his way these days.
At this point he had a chance to free up his hands to count the remaining loot.
Compared to other swamp refugees, Humphrey is simply rich.
Roger found 3 gold discs, 135 silver horns, and a large number of bronze orders in his bedroom.
Converted according to the ratio of 1 gold plate to 10,000 copper reams.
Roger is now considered a wealthy class of adventurers.
But monetary resources are just the tip of the iceberg of Humphran's impressive wealth.
In that big house, Roger found a lot of equipment and props.
Under careful selection.
He took 2 rings, 1 set of heavy armor, 1 belt, 3 books, a bundle of "Forbidden Object Appraisal Scrolls", and other scattered things.
These loot occupied most of the crucible's storage bag, which made Roger have to sigh, "Sure enough, no matter how many grids there are in a backpack."
The first is the two rings.
Even in dim candlelight, Roger could see the simple arcane runes on the ring.
…
"The Ring of Asgard (Set 1/6)"
"Rating: SS"
"Attribute: Charisma +1"
"Special effect: All damage you take is reduced by 4%"
…
"The Ring of Scamora"
"Rating: SS"
"Attribute: Intelligence +1"
"Enchant: Summon Viper"
"Summon Venomous Snakes: Second-Level Spell~IndoMTL.com~ You can summon a large number of poisonous snakes in a designated area to attack the enemy. The type and level of the poisonous snakes depend on your intelligence"
…
All are superb rings.
From Roger's point of view, no matter what their special effects and enchanting effects are, as long as they are equipment that directly adds attributes, they can be directly lifted into the threshold of S+.
What's more, both of them work well.
Also using the ninth spell of Mystra as a motivator, the "Ring of Scamora" is much more reliable than the Lord of Suicide Ring.
Not only can the viper be summoned repeatedly, but there is no need to worry about whether it will bite itself.
The recharge time for an enchantment is half an hour.
This means Roger can play snakes when he has nothing to do.
And the effect of "The Ring of Asgard" is even more addicting.
"Comprehensive damage reduction is too overbearing."
"After collecting the six-piece Asgard suit, you can get 40% overall damage reduction."
"Just don't know where to find the rest of the parts."
Roger put on the rings without saying a word.
One left and one right is just right.
Next is the thick belt.
…
"Men's Belt (Leather)"
"Rating: S+"
"Attribute: Your stamina and energy recovery speed +10%"
"Special effect: your waist and abdomen strength is greatly enhanced"
"Dark Grid (4): Unfixed Weapons or Items"
…
