I'm Really Not Targeting the Mages

56 Elite gargoyle (for recommendations) _

Lifespan.

It was an especially sensitive hidden attribute.

Before this, Roger didn’t even know about the existence of this attribute!

But now ...

The bare data was placed in front of him.

He was a little unsettled.

No matter how long he had to live.

A Johnny turtle was equivalent to an extra year of life!

Just thinking about it was tempting.

“I’m definitely going to make you my brother!”

Roger’s eyes gradually became determined.

He jogged over and put the Johnny turtle’s body into the only empty slot in his storage bag.

After that, he left with light footsteps.

..

At night. Charcoal hotel.

They were full of wine and food.

After rejecting the warm invitations of two curvy ladies and a handsome man in succession ...

Roger returned to his single room.

The Johnny turtle’s corpse was too big and inconvenient to deal with, so it could only be put aside for the time being.

He took out the ” developing potion ” from the crucible and used it with the ” forbidden item identification scroll ” to begin the identification of the gargoyle statue.

In the absence of aura observation, appraisal was actually a very troublesome task.

In Mystra.

All items had a hidden attribute called ” inspection value “.

It corresponded to people’s ” cognitive number “.

When one’s ” cognitive number ” exceeded the item’s ” appraisal value, ” the item would not need to be appraised.

A person’s [cognitive number] was determined by the composition of knowledge from many aspects:

Race knowledge, geographical knowledge, occupation knowledge ... Wait a minute.

The “inspection value” usually depended on the rarity of the item.

The more common an item was, the lower the inspection value.As for the less popular items, their appraisal value might be very high.

For example.

The inspection value of daily clothes was infinitely close to 0.

This meant that everyone could understand its meaning and value, and use it skillfully.

However, tools like whips, candles, and handcuffs might have a higher inspection value.

There would be a considerable number of people who would not be able to fully understand the full meaning.

As for books, weapons, cultural relics, and other items.

Its appraisal value was even higher.

Ordinary people had to improve their cognitive numbers through education and other means in order to correctly recognize and use them.

..

During the appraisal process.

The function of the appraisal scroll was equivalent to providing additional ” cognitive numbers.

The effect of the developing potion was to reduce the ” inspection value ” of the corresponding item.

Only by combining the two swords would he be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Roger had just torn off the third ” forbidden item identification scroll ” when the gargoyle statue in his hand started to tremble uncontrollably!

The light that symbolized knowledge flashed past.

The true appearance of the forbidden item was revealed.

..

[ gargoyle statue (broken forbidden item 1/3) ]

[ rating: S ]

[ seal: a level 29 elite gargoyle is sealed inside. ]

[ unsealing method: kun clan’s blood curse (mastered) ]

[ tracking of remaining parts: not activated ]

..

The so-called ‘kun clan blood curse’ referred to the blood binding technique.

It was something that everyone in Mystra knew.

...

Roger didn’t hesitate. He cut open his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood.

A faint, strange mist rose from the statue.

At the same time.

Roger’s record bar also had a series of notifications.

After the seal was broken, the system provided four ways to deal with it.

The first type was [ submission ].

They expressed their obedience to the elite gargoyle in the statue.

Under such circumstances.

Roger needed to provide a fixed amount of human and animal blood to the gargoyles as a tribute every day.

At the same time, he also had to accept the elite gargoyle’s mission-to find the remaining two parts so that it could be completely freed from the statue’s seal.

The advantage of submitting to the gargoyle was that it might help him in battle.

...

There was also a “movement speed +50%” BUFF.

Its weakness was obvious.

..

The second way of dealing with it was [ enslave ].

After choosing to enslave, the gargoyle would temporarily unseal itself and jump out of the statue to fight Roger.

A temporarily unsealed gargoyle would have 40% of its normal strength.

If it lost, it would be willing to become Roger’s servant.

The advantage of enslavement was that he could command this level 29 elite gargoyle to work for him at any time.

The disadvantage was that if he couldn’t win, he might lose his life.

..

The third type was ” destroy “.

That was to use external force to destroy the statue.

However, this required a lot of external force. After all, the statue was made of high-quality materials, and ordinary weapons might not be able to damage it.

After successfully destroying it, Roger would have the chance to obtain some of the spoils of war that the gargoyle had devoured before it died.

..

The last option was [ sacrifice ].

Regardless of whether it was a forbidden item or a wondrous item, they were all loved by the gods and other great existences.

Roger could choose to offer it to a God in exchange for divine grace or something else.

The system prompted.

The gargoyle statue seemed to be able to exchange for a lot of divine grace.

..

After reading the instructions.

Roger chose ” enslave ” without saying anything.

The gargoyle statue in his hand trembled.

A cloud of black mist suddenly rose and filled the air around Roger.

He took a step back and grabbed the blue Phoenix sword.

In the black mist, two Scarlet lights could be vaguely seen.

A ferocious gargoyle flapped its deformed wings and flew out of the fog!

On the data bar, information flowed down like a waterfall.

..

[ gargoyle: level 29 magic beast/elite ]

[ HP 220, defense 24 ]

[ trait 1: supersonic flight ]

[ supersonic flight: elite gargoyles have unparalleled flight speed. In short-to mid-distance bursts, their speed can easily exceed the speed of sound transmission. ]

[ trait 2: specialized intuition ]

[ specialized intuition: elite gargoyles have legendary-level intuition. It can easily distinguish whether the enemy is strong or weak. ]

..

He didn’t have time to take a closer look.

Roger clenched the blue deathtrap sword in his hand and prepared to face the enemy.

Who knew that the gargoyle would suddenly land on the ground!

The pair of deformed wings folded up on both sides meekly.

The gargoyle rubbed its sharp head against Roger’s pants in a flattering manner.

That expression was very much like a dog.

Roger was slightly stunned.

..

[ you have successfully enslaved the elite gargoyle ]

[ it must unconditionally obey any command it gives you. ]

..

“Is this ‘specialized intuition’?”

Roger shook his head with a bitter smile.

He put away the blue Phoenix sword.

He grabbed the gargoyle’s head twice.

Other than the two goat horns, the gargoyle’s head was bald and a little slippery ...

In short, it felt good.

Roger tried to send some simple instructions to the gargoyle.

The gargoyle’s ability to understand was pretty good.

Very quickly.

There was no need to talk about basic movements like ” opening the door ” and ” pouring water.

Even the complex instructions such as ” back massage ” and ” massage ” were executed in a good way.

it’s fast and has high defense. It’s a little similar to a Johnny turtle.

Roger suddenly had an idea.

He gave the elite gargoyle an order-

Kill the Johnny turtle!

A complicated thought was transmitted to the gargoyle’s heart through the slave contract.

The gargoyle stood there for a while.

Roger took out the body of the Johnny turtle and showed it to the dog, then made a few more killing gestures.

The gargoyle then flew up and out of the open window.

Time passed by.

It was late at night.

Roger was so sleepy that he was yawning.

Only then did the kill notification appear in the data bar.

..

[your servant has killed 1 Johnny turtle.]

[you have gained 5 XP.]

[your lifespan has been increased by 31536000 seconds.]

..

“Perfect.”

Roger smiled and gave the gargoyle an order to continue working.

He blew out the candle.

He went to sleep happily.

..

The next morning.

Roger left charcoal hotel in high spirits.

The gargoyle followed behind him listlessly.

He was going to the town to collect some information about the Johnny turtle.

At the same time, he was looking for a long-term foothold.

After all, he couldn’t just stay in a hotel all the time, right?

Even if his wallet could take it.

His ears couldn’t take it either.

He recalled the strange sounds he had heard in the latter half of the night.

Roger couldn’t help shaking his head.
