Chapter 173
The room fell into silence .
After a brief pause, Roland said casually, “Although I’m not Schuck, as far as I know, it would be like slapping him in the face, throwing some cash to him and saying ‘go take that money . ’ Someone would be brutalized they he told Schuck that to his face . ”
Hawk opened his hands helplessly . “I’m just a messenger . Don’t be angry with me . ”
Roland thought for a moment and asked, “Who is this chairman of Moon Shadow?”
“He’s from a rich family based in a central city on the shoreline, and he’s willing to pay in games . ” Hawk smiled . “Of course, he’s good at making money too . Most importantly, he’s kind of a tyrant, if you know what I mean . ”
“A tyrant?” Roland found it amusing . “All right, got it . You can go now and tell him that Schuck said no . ”
“You’re speaking for Schuck?” Hawk felt a headache coming on . “Besides, we’re friends anyway . Is it appropriate for you to just kick me away?”
“How can I entertain you as a friend after you forwarded that to me?” said Roland .
Hawk sighed and left .
They weren’t familiar with each other anyway and only became friends because of the dungeon quest and the battle at the dock .
However, Hawk estranged himself from Roland for the interests of his guild before they could get closer .
Now, the two of them were only acquaintances with a subtle relationship .
After Hawk left, Roland immediately pinged Schuck in the guild channel and said, “The chairman of Moon Shadow offers a thousand gold coins or fifteen million yuan for your dragon knight contract . ”
Schuck soon replied, “What’s his problem? As a Saint Samurai, I earn twenty gold coins each month, and I have subsidies for high/low temperature and equipment maintenance . I make at least thirty gold coins every month . Does he really think I’ve never seen money?”
Roland said, “Hehe . He probably thought that the six people of F6 were all bumpkins . ”
“Seven!” Betta suddenly interjected .
At this point, the other members of F6 all typed ellipses in the guild channel to show that they were reading .
Roland said again, “Hawk said that that guy is some sort of tyrant . ”
Then, the guild channel became lively .
Li Lin: “Tyrant? I like playing with tyrants the most . ”
Raffel: “From the sound of that, we’re going to do what we did again, aren’t we?”
Brazil: “That’s great news . I happen to be bored . ”
Husseret: “I’ll gather intelligence first . I’ll send a rendezvous point to you after I confirm everything . ”
Roland: “It’s settled then . I’m otherwise occupied . Talk to you later . ”
At this point, Betta sent a long series of dots in the channel, as if he were speechless .
Exiting the guild channel, Roland went to the second floor and taught the magic apprentices the key points to Spell Puppet and its derivative spells .
Bard was among the listeners . He was rather stunned .
Leaving the derivative spells aside, Roland’s perspective on magic was very unique and different from what he knew . He benefited a lot from it .
After a simple theoretical class, Roland was about to resume his magic experiments, when Serrari came to him .
To be honest, she was waiting for him outside of the Magic Tower .
When Roland went downstairs, he saw Serrari standing in the square charmingly .
Thanks to her fantastic figure and the unique aura of elves, she was dazzling even though she was only wearing a simple green dress .
At this moment, Serrari was protected by five human beings .
They were two females and three males . All of them seemed calm and… different from ordinary humans . They were purer and cleaner .
Also, those humans somehow made Roland feel wary .
Druids in the shape of humans?
After a brief daze, Roland realized what was going on .
He then was amazed . He had no idea when those Druids arrived . No wonder the nobles kept their elven slaves top secret, or they really could’ve been killed without seeing it coming at all .
“Mr . Roland, thank you for your protection . ” Serrari walked to Roland and smiled . “As per our agreement, these four spell models are yours . ”
She gave four parchments to Roland .
Roland was surprised . “Didn’t we agree upon three?”
“I accidentally wrote one more . ”
While talking, she hugged Roland and continued, “You’re the most decent and trustworthy human I’ve ever seen . I’m going back to the Elf Forest . Let’s hope that fate will let us meet again . ”
Serrari’s hug was warm and utterly unprovocative .
Naturally, Roland too was not as overwhelmed as a boy who would swoon over a hug of gratitude .
Just like Serrari said, she was very grateful to Roland . They didn’t talk much in the past days, but Roland did offer her shelter until her people came for her .
Only when one was tricked many times would they know how precious promise keepers were .
Serrari was gone . Many young people in the town received the message and cried regretfully . Some even tried to stop Serrari and persuade her to stay in the city .
Of course, none of them really succeeded .
Roland returned to the Magic Tower with the elven models of natural spells and started examining them with fascination .
Spell models were generally made of nodes and lines, and magic arrays were congregations of squares . However, the elven models were made of circles and spheres!
Well… they were indeed incomprehensible .
Roland had been prepared for that . Having picked up a lot of common knowledge about magic, he knew very well that the magic of elves and that of humans belonged to different systems .
He only asked Serrari to give him the models to try his luck .
Besides, just because he couldn’t understand them now didn’t mean he couldn’t understand them in the future .
While he was examining the elven models, Vivian came to the lab with White Amber .
The moment it saw Roland, White Amber jumped off Vivian and climbed onto Roland’s shoulder along his clothes, before it squatted there .
Vivian said jealously, “White Amber, I’m your master . Why are you so intimate with him so quickly . ”
White Amber said in the brisk voice of a little girl, “I haven’t seen Master in a long time . ”
“It’s only been half a day,” argued Vivian unhappily .
Roland coughed and interrupted Vivian and White Amber’s bickering . “Is there anything I can help you with?”
Vivian turned solemn and said, “A few noble lords want to talk to you about the territory separation in Delpon City . ”
