I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 73: Heart of Frost
With a deafening sound.
The mining truck slowly parked on an unmanned platform.
The driver yawned and kicked the door.
He was just about to greet the newcomer to unload.
Who knows at a glance, there is no one in the second compartment.
The driver rubbed his eyes.
After a while, he rolled up his sleeves cursingly.
…
The Township of Death Sign.
Across the rolling hills, there are terrifying tentacles.
Even those robbers who are rampant will silently choose to bypass them when they encounter these tentacles.
Among the barracks dotted.
A number of outposts are set up on duty.
A robber with a face full of flesh yawns and leaves his post.
While the inspector is not around.
He sneaked into the woods to the left of the barracks.
He quickly pulled out a rough cigarette from the waistband of his trousers, put it in his mouth happily, and then skillfully lit the cigarette **** with flint.
Phew.
A puff of smoke rings out.
I feel a lot more comfortable throughout my body.
A rustling sound can be heard in the woods behind.
He looked back and saw a member of the "Raptors" costume.
"My good brother, excuse me for cigarettes."
The man was all smiles.
"Roll..."
The impatient reprimand has not yet come out.
The ascension-like pain came from his crotch!
A sackcloth deftly gagged his mouth.
His eyeballs were instantly bloodshot—
The branches outside the bushes trembled quickly for a while, then lost their movement.
Soon.
A robber in a "Raven" uniform swaggered out of the bushes and headed for the barracks.
When passing the sentry.
A guard glanced at him, then stopped looking.
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
Speeding up the pace of progress.
…
After entering Dead Sign Township.
Roger found an opportunity to leave the mining truck.
In terms of time.
It has been more than a day since he single-handedly took down the stronghold of Capone Manor.
Continuing to mix may be risky without uncertainty about the efficiency of the Red Sleeves' intel transmission.
And as he observed.
The garrison force of Death Sign Township is typically tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
There are many barracks between the hills.
There are about three or four hundred robbers coming and going, and it is not difficult to fish in troubled waters.
His current target is the second leader of the Red Sleeves.
The leader of the "Raven Group".
A spellcaster named "Capella".
After torturing several lone robbers, Roger confirmed two very important pieces of information.
Article 1.
Death Sign Township headquarters is currently not aware of what happened at Capone Manor.
This means that Roger's letter of recommendation and the identity of the female assassin "Vicky" can still be used.
Article 2.
The Red Sleeves are at war with the Grey Dwarves.
It is said to have been fighting for several months.
The battle line is drawn from the dungeons in the east of the Great Wetlands to the surface in the northwest part of Hall Country.
A week ago.
The gray dwarves' offensive suddenly became fierce.
The Brotherhood leader had to go to the front to oversee the battle.
Therefore, the person who is currently speaking of Dead Omen Township is the second leader, Capella.
In other words.
As long as Capella is killed, Death Omen will be in a leaderless situation!
That's what Roger would love to see.
…
Evening.
Raven group barracks.
In the northernmost barracks.
A unsmiling middle-aged man was quickly transcribing the scroll under the light of candlelight.
Under the quill, there is a shocking blood color.
Although the smell of blood has been diluted by several spices deliberately sprayed in the barracks.
But the barrels of human blood displayed by the desk are still silently proclaiming this person's evil deeds.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Capella raised her eyebrows in displeasure.
"What's the matter?"
His expression was gloomy, and it seemed that as long as the other party couldn't say why, he would be punished properly.
"My lord, a brother said that he has a treasure for you!"
There is an energetic voice from the attendant outside the door.
This means that, in his opinion, Capella will absolutely love this darling.
"Let him in."
Capella takes some interest.
Soon.
A slick-looking robber walks in with a dark object.
"Look, my lord!"
"I found something you had previously offered a bounty for!"
The man looked excited.
"Gargoyle statue?"
Capella's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly shouted coldly:
"Stand still!"
The robber looked bewildered, but he was very sensible and stood where he was, slowly raising the gargoyle statue above his head.
Capella calmly opened the drawer and took out an appraisal scroll.
A snap.
The scroll is torn.
A pale yellow arcane rune flashed by.
Capela breathed a sigh of relief and showed a look of joy:
"Bring it to me!"
The man handed over the statue without saying a word.
Capella accepts the statue with a smile.
Next second.
The gargoyle's wings moved slightly.
Capella's heart sank suddenly.
It's hard to say the order in which the "feeling pain" and "loss of consciousness" happened.
Because Roger's "knee bump" and the gargoyle's "pottery anus" landed on him almost at the same time!
The poor mage slumped slowly.
The smell of blood in the barracks has grown slightly stronger.
…
"You killed Capella (Human Mage/Elite)"
"You earned 36 XP"
"You have gained 44 points of chivalry"
"You got agility shard*9 (quest item)"
"The Execution Order reward is being obtained..."
"You have acquired a feat from Capella—Fast Casting; this feat is an invalid feat after the check, is it converted into an effective feat?"
…
Roger chose "yes" without hesitation.
…
"You have gained a new feat - Elemental Passivation"
"A Proximity Specialty (Blade of Spell-Eating) detected, merge?"
…
"Well, can similar expertise be combined?"
Roger thought for a while, but still chose OK.
After the merger, the attributes of the Spell-Eating Blade have quietly changed.
…
"Blade of Spell-Eating (3rd level feat): You can designate a weapon so that it can acquire the characteristics of 'Spell-Eating Soldier' in close combat;
Magic Devourer (New): Each attack has a 3% chance to permanently steal the enemy's mana and store it. High damage to the weapon itself)
Every attack will make the elements in the target area passivated, and the passivation will become more serious with time, and the upper limit of the passivation of the elements in the same area is 33%"
…
The improvement is quite obvious.
Raising the mana pumping effect to 3% is already a great improvement.
And the effect of "element passivation" made Roger's eyes shine even more.
This thing can greatly reduce the speed of the wizard's spellcasting.
Cutting off 33% of the elements means that in order to gather the original levels of the elements, the caster needs to increase the casting power by 50%.
It's a pity.
The Spell-Eating Blade doesn't quite fit Roger's current fighting style.
He doesn't seem to be well suited for protracted warfare.
As far as Roger's current fighting style is concerned.
That is, the martial artist system can barely match the effect of the Spell-Eating Blade.
"This weapon is a great vehicle for the Spell-Eating Blade if it can withstand the negative effects of 'Gauntlet'. "
Roger thought regretfully.
…
The easy instant kill of Capella is of course the result of an unintentional calculation.
But the existence of gargoyles also contributes.
In fact, just now Capella took out the appraisal scroll.
Roger is almost ready to level up.
Who knew that the gargoyle could withstand the effect of the identification technique.
It is estimated that the result Capella saw was "Gargoyle Statue (Forbidden Object) (Unblocked)" or something.
This makes Roger look at the gargoyles differently.
After repeated scrutiny with lookout.
Only then did he see the hidden attributes of this fellow.
That's the third trait of a gargoyle!
…
"Trait 3: Good at learning"
"Good at learning: Elite gargoyles have a strong learning ability, especially good at imitating; they can also gain experience in battle and form new skills."
"Mastered Skills: Disguise, Beast Warfare"
…
"The camouflage points are a bit high, but I actually passed the appraisal."
"But...what the **** is good at imitating?"
Roger's expression is a little complicated.
Seeing these data, there is always a sense that the gargoyle loves pottery **** at him.
But see the last line.
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
The pottery **** is systematically listed as a "beast-like warfare method".
This shows that the other party has another teacher.
Not Roger's pot.
…
After killing Capella, most of the advanced tasks are completed.
As is customary, Roger conducted a careful search of the barracks.
Anyway, no one dared to come in for a while.
The most common thing Roger found on Capella ~IndoMTL.com~ was a Scarlet Scroll.
The qi spell is rarely identified.
I guess it's not a serious thing.
Roger opted to take all the bills.
The second is money.
Roger found currency worth about 1 gold dish in the barracks.
Immediately after.
He found an identical gargoyle statue on Capella's bookcase.
The lookout spell appears to be unblocked.
It seems that Capella is still careful.
"Huh? What is this?"
Roger curiously grabbed a azure-blue stone next to the statue.
…
"Heart of Frost (Construct Core)"
"Description: Improves the quality of constructs/magical beasts"
…
Roger glanced.
The gargoyle is lying on the side with interest, with longing in his eyes.
Roger quietly tossed the gem.
The latter instinctively swallowed the Heart of Frost into his stomach.
After a few seconds.
It flapped its wings and flew over.
When he stretched out his tongue, he spat out the gem!
Roger smiled.
Paddles the gargoyle's bald head with satisfaction.
"Eat."
He urged: "In a hurry."
The gargoyle then swallowed the Heart of Frost with confidence.
An icy aura emerges from it.
It returned to normal after a while.
…
"Your Servant: Elite Gargoyles have improved in quality"
…
"Frost Gargoyle LV35 Magical Beast/Elite"
…
