Roland felt a little embarrassed. He told Hawke and the others not long ago that some players might be fooled by NPCs to the point of losing their lives, and now he was almost slapped in the face.
Sure enough, one cannot think too highly of oneself.
Roland returned to the Magic Tower holding the fake wooden emblem hard.
This wooden sign is not so much a clue as it is a warning that Edward left for himself before committing suicide.
After thinking about it, many things became suspicious.
If it wasn't John, then who asked the gang to kidnap and kill Lisa's relatives, and who threatened Edward to take the blame. And just when Hawke sent the beggar to secretly watch John's movements, within five days, Big Edward jumped out to confuse the situation.
The gangsters were all wiped out by Bud, so there will definitely be no news.
And the real murderer seems to know the actions of their golden son
Did Beggar Hawke leak the news
The more Roland thought about it, the more confused he became. This kind of case that was all based on speculation and didn't have many clues was really troublesome. He finally understood why there were Skynet cameras everywhere in China now.
No matter how smart your crime is, it's all in vain if it's caught on camera.
Returning to the Magic Tower, Roland deduced the spell puppet model for nearly four hours before calming down his anger.
He decided not to think too much about this matter for the time being. The murderer would definitely be dormant during this period, waiting for the Hui Sand Gang to investigate the information and he would think about it after he got it in his hands.
It was already evening at this time, Vivian brought him dinner, and then placed several notebooks in front of Roland.
"What is this?" Roland asked in surprise.
"The income and expenses of our Magic Tower last month." Vivian explained: "Originally, the president should be responsible for reviewing this matter, but he is not here, so I can only leave it to you."
That's it. Roland was eating his dinner and looking through the account books.
Roland looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Who made this record?"
"Cross." Vivian said: "Among all our magic apprentices, he is the most powerful in arithmetic."
Cross was the young man who Roland brought to visit the Magic Tower for the first time.
He is the most talented among all magic apprentices. He learned magic quickly and the people were warm and hospitable.
"What's the matter with these extra dozen gold coins?"
Vivian took a look and smiled: "This is the tax collected from the area around us. With the Magic Tower as the center, the surrounding two kilometers are our territory."
"Why is there no label on who pays taxes?" Roland was a little curious: "Otherwise how do you know who has paid or not?"
"No need to mark it, they just need to collect 15 gold coins together every month and hand it over." Vivian smiled and said: "We at the Magic Tower don't care about anything else. We only need to collect money and protect the tranquility of this area."
Vivian's words were gentle, but they had a condescending air directed at outsiders.
But it's normal to think about it. Magic is a profession that is extremely respected and feared, and it is also the representative of mystery. As a spell caster, even if she is only a magic apprentice, Vivian also has the qualifications to be proud of.
After reading these account books, Roland knew where the magic tower's money came from.
This also meant that Roland began to officially take over the affairs of the Magic Tower.
Especially with Aldo in hiding to recuperate.
The entire Magic Tower matter was on Roland's shoulders. He had to meet with the nobles or businessmen who wanted to ask for something, and reach an agreement with them, such as exterminating some ferocious beasts or magical beasts near Delbon City, or else Just to help exorcise evil spirits.
This made Roland extremely busy, running around with several magic apprentices, and he even had much less time for magic experiments.
There is no way around this. Who told him to get a high salary from the Magic Tower
You have to do things when you get money. This is a very simple truth.
However, thanks to the recent game update, the probability of the mission has increased. During this period, he triggered several small missions, such as how much experience he can get after solving a certain problem.
Thanks to the completion of the mission, Roland is now only a short distance away from Level 5 on the experience progress bar.
Then he locked himself in the magic laboratory, and specifically told Vivian that no one was allowed to disturb him.
After that, he stayed in the magic laboratory for more than five hours, and finally deduced the first derivative magic of the spell puppet: strengthening the spell puppet.
Roland had considered many strengthening directions before, but no matter which one had shortcomings, he finally decided to carry out comprehensive strengthening. Of course, one strengthening would not have much effect, but this strengthening would be the basis for a second strengthening, and a third strengthening. What about reinforcement
Of course, before that, the problem of insufficient 'memory' of the spell model must be solved first.
The moment he summoned the enhanced spell puppet, he immediately received a system notification.
'You have mastered the spell puppet magic and gained 140 character experience points. '
'You have reached Level 5. '
'Please select your professional proficiency'.
Then there is a page of professional abilities arranged in the system menu.
Roland breathed a sigh of relief. He finally reached Level 5. It was not easy. After reaching Lv5, the experience required for upgrade will be greatly increased. Starting from this level, even for warrior players, the upgrade speed will slow down significantly.
Roland looked at his system menu and gently read the name of the mastery list on it.
'Evocation specialization', 'Prophecy specialization', 'Summoning specialization', he scrolled down the progress bar all the way, and found the specialization ability he wanted at the end of the specialization list.
'Space system specialization'.
The world is very big, incredibly big, so the ability to 'traffic movement' is very important.
There are already players on the forum who are complaining. They often receive tasks to transport supplies to other cities and even 'go abroad'. Now that they are not even proficient in the Holevan language, let alone mentioning the matter of going abroad.
Just going to other cities can make them want to cry.
Different from the convenient and accessible transportation system in modern society, in this world... the better roads are dirt roads, and in many places, they are rugged mountain roads. Not to mention the distance, many times when walking on the mountain road, you will encounter man-eating beasts or monsters.
If you're lucky, you can get a lot of meat after beating it, which can last for several days.
If you are unlucky, if you lose, you will return to the city for free and lose a bit of character experience.
Sometimes you can even encounter robbers, which is exciting.
Therefore, unlike ordinary games, in this real game world, the professional's 'long-distance' movement ability is very important.
Unless you want to stay in a fixed area for the rest of your life and never leave.
This is the biggest reason why Roland chose to specialize in space.
He wants to see everywhere in the future. The world is so big, why not walk around.
Whether it's a mount that moves extremely fast or a flying magic, it's definitely not as easy as snapping your fingers and teleporting to other cities in a swish.
And the force level is very high.
