I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

...

"Coordinate acquisition..."

...

"Historical Knowledge: Sky Island is loaded!"

...

"Sky Island: In the eighth history that does not belong to this world.

Mystra's Prime Material Plane is moving in the other direction.

many years ago.

That was the mysterious era after Mystra left and the magic net shattered for no reason.

Because of an unknown accident.

The whole world has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.

A poisonous gas from an unknown subplane exploded.

It swept across the ground of the world.

It took countless lives.

The failure of the magic net made the magic power of the mages no longer.

The vast majority of mages and other humans died in the first three gas explosions in the center of the earth.

Under the erosion of poisonous gas.

Creatures in the whole world are facing the crisis of extinction.

...

And in this case.

There is still an organization of mages called "The Future" that clings to the beliefs of the past.

They believed that Mystra would return eventually.

To wait until that day.

The future mages have tried every means to ensure the continuation of themselves and the human community.

The number of people who can be organized is always decreasing irresistibly.

The terrible poisonous gas not only deprived the lives of most people.

And it makes the surface weird

Unlivable is one aspect.

The frequent spellcasting disorder is a deeper crisis!

This means that the mages in the post-magnet era are likely to lose their magic power completely!

The members of "Future" call out for Mystra's return in desperation.

But with the passage of time day by day.

More and more species became extinct on the land.

The remaining human race is also at stake.

And because of the lack of height.

The floating city built by the "Future" organization cannot completely escape the scope of poisonous gas.

People keep dying.

The magic net effect is also constantly ebbing.

The only 30 mages left in the city performed a mysterious ritual from an unknown ancient book in desperation

...

"True God Awakening"

...

They tried to get Mystra's favor by calling Mystra's real name.

But what this ceremony brings is not the salvation that the members of "Future" are thinking about.

But complete destruction!

The mysterious star beasts attracted by the ceremony completely destroyed the floating city where the headquarters of "Future" is located!

after that.

The star beast began to greedily devour everything within its field of vision.

Finally came to the main material world.

Its purpose is not just as simple as a full meal.

then.

The creatures of this world have entered the darkest and most desperate period in history!

Poisonous gas erupts on the ground at all times.

In the sky, there are star beasts that cover the sky and block the sun.

the most difficult time.

The human population has shrunk to less than 2,000 people!

one day.

The star beast entrenched in the sky finally couldn't restrain its own hunger.

It fell to the ground.

Start munching on mountains and rivers.

But at this moment.

The fourth and most powerful gas explosion ever occurred.

The mysterious star beast couldn't resist the terrible poisonous gas.

It screamed and fell to the ground.

After more than 30 days of intense struggle.

The star beast gradually turned into a corpse.

After the star beast fell.

People who had lived through long years of fear dared to come out of their shelters.

The remaining three "future" mages mustered up the courage to do research on the corpse of the star beast.

quickly.

They discovered that the arrival of the star beast absorbed most of the amount of the fourth poison gas outbreak.

This caused the nearby creatures not to suffer too much damage.

Even more surprising.

They discovered a whole new kind of ether in the body of the star beast!

It was an ether with a pink form.

It has extremely unique properties and powerful magic power.

The mages of the "future" called it the "dream ether".

...

With the help of the dream ether.

The mages of the future organization repaired part of the magic net.

And made a "cyclone bridge" that runs through the sky and the earth.

And the "future city" standing on the cyclone bridge!

Under the support of cyclone bridge technology.

The mages created a large number of sky islands.

This allows them to completely get rid of the already inhospitable surface environment.

Human civilization has been able to continue because of this..."

...

Looking at the dense historical knowledge in the data column.

Roger rubbed his temples lightly.

His eyes looked a little dazed.

In fact, it was because he was digesting a large amount of information received at this moment.

Super high historical knowledge allows him to grasp key historical information as soon as he enters the historical world.

Except for the paragraph about the origin of "Sky Island".

He also gained several keywords.

...

"Collector"

...

"Mage Wings"

...

"Fantasy Ether"

...

"Bridge Keeper"

...

"Mage tyranny and the battle of resistance"

...

The above keywords are closely related to the origin and system of Sky Island.

And "Fantasy Ether" is the cornerstone of Sky Island.

Roger understood.

After the Sky Isle habitat is established.

The future mage has become the well-deserved master and guardian of Sky Island with the help of the only remaining magic net and dream ether.

at first.

Others who have been blessed by them are very grateful.

After all, they built Sky Island.

But as time goes by year after year.

The population on the floating island is increasing.

The voice of dissatisfaction is getting stronger and stronger.

The cause of the incident is "dream ether"!

It is not difficult to see from the origin of Sky Island.

The Phantasmal Aether is the key to future mages maintaining their power.

But they are more troublesome.

Future mages themselves do not have the ability to acquire fantasy ether!

And in order to maintain the existence of the "cyclone bridge".

The Sky Islands consume a considerable amount of Dream Ether every day.

Coupled with the spell disorder and the failure of the anti-gravity field.

Future mages can't find any other way to replace the cyclone bridge.

in addition.

Other technologies they later created also required the support of the Phantasma.

It can be said that the entire Sky Island civilization is built on the basis of dream ether!

But here comes the problem.

Dream ether can only be obtained from star beast corpses!

This has led to the fact that some of the residents on Sky Island must regularly go to the corpse of the star beast to collect the pink "Dream Ether".

These people are "collectors".

...

In the world of Sky Island.

Collector is a profession with a high mortality rate.

Because they need access to the ground.

After hundreds of years of toxic gas outbreaks.

The earth's surface has entered a low-frequency period of toxic gas eruptions.

But those who are unlucky will still encounter small-scale poisonous gas outbreaks.

With the power of Sky Island civilization.

It is still unable to resist this poisonous gas.

And what's even more terrifying.

Except poison gas.

A batch of monsters with a very high degree of distortion were also born on the surface!

According to future research.

These monsters are inextricably linked to the star beast.

They are also keen to acquire fantasy ether.

Even because of this, several terrible incidents of monsters attacking the "cyclone bridge" broke out.

These events intensified the conflict between Future Organization and other human beings.

Because the power of the "future mage" cannot affect the surface of the chaotic spellcasting.

Nor did they dare to go near the surface.

Therefore, the important task of guarding the cyclone bridge is handed over to other professionals like the collectors.

These people are called "bridge guards".

Compared with collectors who need to go deep into the Star Beast Mountains.

Bridgekeepers are less at risk.

The probability of the cyclone bridge itself attracting monsters is relatively low.

During the garrison.

As long as you can avoid a small gas outbreak, you're fine.

The collectors may be attacked by monsters at any time during the process of collecting fantasy ether in the Star Beast Mountain Range.

What makes them even more dissatisfied is that.

I don't know if it is to save costs.

The aircraft "Mage Wings" provided by the future mage to the collectors to travel between the surface and the sky island often malfunctions.

The total failure rate is above 20%.

It's okay when you go down.

After all, every collector will carry 3 Mage Wings when they set off.

Well-trained collectors have the ability to complete the costume change during the free fall period.

when it is time to return.

They need to carry a heavy dream ether.

Come out at this time.

Collectors have to face the choice of whether to throw away the air tank with the dream ether on their back.

A little careless.

Or you will lose the fantastic ether that you have worked so hard to collect.

Or simply throw it away with your life.

Even more unsatisfactory.

If the collectors return empty-handed.

They still need to bear the cost of renting "Mage Wings".

Of course, there is also compensation for losing the aircraft.

These liabilities often force them to undertake the next collection operation.

But even if it is successfully collected and returned.

The remuneration obtained by collectors is still not proportional to the risk.

Take a break of up to 3 months.

The bottomed out savings will prompt you to return to your old business.

This point is based on the fact that future organizations monopolize the lifeblood of all industries

Especially in the field of agriculture.

Isle of Skye does not allow private farming of any kind.

Only "bread gardens" with a license to operate can produce food.

The owners of the bakery are all members of the future organization.

They ventilate each other.

monopolized the pricing power of food.

therefore.

The prices of these foods are extremely high in the market.

It will quickly empty the pockets of collectors.

The rest of the personnel can only survive as various appendages of the future organization.

Live a life where food and clothing are difficult to guarantee.

It is worth mentioning that.

Exotic plants such as bread trees, cheese vines and fruit platter bushes in the bread garden are also irrigated by the dream ether.

...

under such a circumstance.

People who have the qualifications of mages and can enter the future organization lead a life like a king.

The rest can only live in haste.

The collector looked at the gratifying plants in the bread garden with resentment.

The bridgekeeper felt sad when he saw his partner who died tragically.

Others face similar dilemmas.

Hence the "War of Resistance".

About the war of resistance.

Not much was mentioned in the history knowledge that Roger got.

All he knew was that the Gatherers, Bridgekeepers, and other non-Mage members had joined forces.

Some people went on strike.

Another part of people chose to escape from "Sky Island"!

This incident caused the fury of the future organization.

But they dare not hunt down the "rebels" who have fled to the surface.

You can only vent your anger on those who are on strike.

all in all.

That was another dark period that Sky Island has experienced since its establishment.

The population of the islands has plummeted.

For a period of time.

The Mages even openly declare that they don't need other humans.

They only need people who have the qualifications to become mages.

Others are only worthy of being kept in captivity.

It can be very fast.

For some unknown reason.

The mage who made these remarks was deprived of his status as a future member of the organization.

The future organization's attitude softened.

They began settlement talks with those who remained.

Not long.

A few of the "rebels" fled back to Sky Island in dismay

They were hunted down by terrible monsters on the surface.

However, the spread of poisonous gas still does not support the long-term survival of human beings.

In desperation.

They still have no choice but to return to Sky Island!

finally.

Both mages and non-mages realize that they need each other.

Under such a premise.

The two sides conducted round after round of negotiations.

finally.

The Future Organization gave up the management rights of the two islands, as well as the apparent monopoly of some industries.

Sky Island's civilization has re-entered a period of stability.

But even so.

Mages with the ability to use the Phantasma remain a privileged class.

Friction between mage and non-mage groups continues.

Until 30 years ago.

An earth-shattering event happened...

...

"Historical knowledge: The information is loaded...Insufficient historical knowledge, unable to obtain blocked information..."

...

"no……"

"What happened 30 years ago?"

"Historical knowledge can also play chapters, right?!"

Looking at it, it is short of writing "to be continued" historical knowledge.

Roger suddenly flew into a rage.

But after calming down.

He felt a little strange again.

"Where's the Killing Mask?"

"Why is there no mention of the Killing Mask in the history of this world?"

"besides……"

"How did a world dominated by mages give birth to an ascendant who killed authority?"

"Aren't these future mages coaxed? Why did the secret key fall into the hands of the Killing Mask?"

Roger's head was full of question marks.

For a moment.

He even suspected that he came to the wrong historical world!

present.

Roger took a few steps forward.

Came to the edge of Sky Island.

But see under the sunset.

A "collector" with white gas coming out of his back returned to the sky from the ground like a tired bird returning to its nest.

below the flight path.

It is a cyclone column that pierces through the sky.

And the extremely rich and extremely poisonous gas layer!

Come to yourself.

Roger glanced at the data bar again.

The coordinates of "Secret of Mystery" have been loaded.

It seems that they are not on the "Butterfly Island" where they descended.

"This is the 8th history world that has not yet fully returned."

"It seems that the secret key obtained by the Killing Mask is related to the incident 30 years ago..."

Roger thought to himself.

Immediately he felt a little annoyed again.

He originally wanted to use his identity as a killing mask to bluff in this world.

Now it seems.

This identity may not be as powerful as he imagined.

Consider the sensitivity of mages in power.

Roger even smelled a hint of danger!

And at this moment.

his back.

A shadow quickly takes shape.

Whoosh!

The shadow has not yet shot.

Roger had already struck first.

Piaoyun clapped his hands.

The small grappling technique comes at your fingertips.

Roger locked that shade down easily!

...

"Reminder: You control a 'Projection of the Killing Mask'"

...

"It's him?"

"Have we been discovered?"

Ripley was slightly taken aback.

Roger shook his head:

"It's just a projection. His influence in the 8th world is not as great as I imagined. He doesn't know it for the time being."

For Ripley:

"But if you kill him, the Killing Mask himself should know that we sneaked through the back door."

Roger frowned.

Immediately relax:

"No problem."

"I'll try this first."

finished.

He silently chose "One-click Dress Up".

After the evil four-piece suit.

Roger can do it.

Just endless kneading and stroking!

Projection as an ascender.

The Killing Mask is obviously very durable.

Roger pinched for a long time.

The latter's IQ collapsed little by little.

...

"You didn't meet me..."

"You never attacked me..."

"You haven't been touched by me..."

Roger rubbed the projected head vigorously.

Until the other party's eyes rolled white and his expression was dull.

Only then did he loosen his hand wearily.

The projection glanced at him.

Then slowly disappeared in place.

"Done."

Roger rubbed his wrists.

look back.

But he saw Ripley's strange eyes.

Roger was a little dissatisfied upon seeing this.

Then he coughed lightly:

"how?"

"Is there something wrong?"

The frightened Zhuo Dun panicked and said:

"No no no!"

"nothing."

"I'm just amazed, you're really skilled..."

"Forehead……"

"What do we do next?"

He forcibly changed the subject.

Roger didn't bother to continue finding fault.

He pondered:

"You secretly investigate the details of the killing mask."

Ripley nodded.

"but me……"

Roger looked in the direction where the mark of Xuanzhi was.

"I'm going to take care of some private matters."

"If there is important information, you know how to notify me."

next second.

His figure disappeared in place.

In the sky not far away.

A pair of wings of light unfolded quietly.

Under the cover of clouds.

Roger is like a dragonfly.

Fly lightly into the sky.

Not long.

on the data bar.

...

"Hint: You found 'Butterfly Island'"

...

"Insight: You perceive a large crowd, they seem to be having some kind of celebration..."

...

"Hello!"

"The one over there."

"Are you here to participate in the Triathlon too? "

Under the twilight.

A uniformed officer blocked Roger's path.

He looked Roger up and down.

Roger rolled his eyes.

nodded.

Whoosh!

The man suddenly took out a stack of thick leaflet-like documents from behind.

His eyes light up:

"Which one are you going to focus on?"

"Unlocking? Stealing? Escape?"

"I have all kinds of confidential information here..."

...
