Antis knew a lot about things in the royal city. He was beautiful, even more handsome than a girl. Maybe because of this, he couldn't stop talking about gossip.
Roland just listened.
If it were an ordinary aunt talking about gossip, he wouldn't be that interested, but Antis was one of the most powerful figures in the royal city and a relative of the royal family, so what he said was naturally very valuable.
The city of Delbon is the basic base of Roland's plan, and the country of Holevin is the ideal place for Roland to take off in the future.
The more you hear about the power relations here, the better. Maybe it will be used someday.
Antis said a lot. He was considered a leader among his peers in the royal city. He was also beautiful and could be said to be a rare talent.
This person is capable and has a good background, but he is prone to arrogance. Antis does not look down on his peers in Wangcheng.
In his opinion, none of his peers in the royal city, except Andonara, could 'fight' her. But Andonara came from a bad background, and even though he liked her very much, he did not put her in the same position. superior.
He looked down on even the paladin Dinah.
There is no difference between a paladin whose strength has hardly improved at the same time and a waste.
The grace of the goddess of light was wasted.
At this time, Roland, a peer who had been in contact with him several times and even had a close relationship, became his acquaintance.
The most important thing is that Roland is smart and talented.
Coupled with his temperament... He is neither humble nor arrogant towards others, and treats nobles and civilians equally. Antis feels that becoming friends with such a person is not a bad thing.
It’s just that there are more things to do.
Antis usually doesn't talk much with his peers, so once he communicates, he will inevitably talk a lot.
He talked non-stop for almost three hours. Finally he looked at the sky, and then stood up a little unfinished. Then he said with a cold face: "Anyway, the water in the royal city is very deep. What I'm talking about is just superficial things. If it's not necessary, you'd better Don’t come here too often to play around.”
"I know." Roland responded, and then asked: "After Toby Subaru leaves, who will be in charge of the current Magic Association."
"I am temporarily managing. The position of president is temporarily vacant until a suitable candidate is found."
Roland suddenly thought of something: "Can I go in and take a look at the library in the headquarters?"
"Look." Antis threw out an iron sign and said, "Just don't take the book away. Remember, you owe me a favor."
Then he turned and left.
Roland picked up the sign and waved to Antis's back: "Thanks, big brother."
He didn't know how the magic of proficiency in language was translated. Antis almost fell down. He turned back and stared at Roland fiercely, and then left even faster.
Roland paid for the drink, nearly seven gold coins... so expensive.
Since it is the most luxurious tavern and everything in it is the best in Hollevin, it is expensive.
Roland is an ordinary person. He can't taste how good the wine is. He just thinks that the place is magnificent, a bit like the most exaggerated and tacky KTV decoration in third-tier cities.
No way, there is always a bit of an aesthetic gap between people from the two worlds.
Holding Antis' sign, Roland came to the door of the general meeting.
Originally, the soldiers guarding here were soldiers in green leather armor, but now they have been replaced by elite guards in silver armor.
He should be the private guard of the Antis family.
Roland showed the black iron sign, and the two guards let him go without any expression.
Passing through the long outer corridor, Roland came to the depths of the building of the General Assembly. Apart from the guards, he did not encounter any magicians along the way.
Roland thought that all the magicians in the association had been eliminated, but when he entered the library, he found that there were six magicians here, reading books.
These people heard the sound, nodded slightly to Roland, and then immersed themselves in their own little world.
No wonder Antis handed over the sign so readily. It turns out that there are already many people using the back door here.
Suddenly I felt that I owed Antis a favor.
Roland smiled bitterly subconsciously.
After all, the library here is much bigger than the Magic Tower.
At least ten times the size of the floor space.
Not to mention that the library is divided into two floors: upper and lower.
Each floor is lined with more than 300 bookshelves at least three meters high.
There are so many stored books... Of course, they can't all be magic books.
Roland looked around and soon found a counter on the left, where a female waiter was sitting.
Walking over, Roland asked: "Excuse me, where are the magic models of Level 3 and above in the Association?"
Although I have deliberately lowered my voice, it is too quiet in the library, and there are magicians around. Regardless of whether they have been trained or not, the ears of professionals are always better than normal people.
Everyone moved their eyes over.
Roland thought he had disturbed them and made an apologetic gesture.
At this time, the waitress pointed respectfully to the north area on the second floor of the library.
Roland nodded slightly to thank her, and then quietly walked up the steps to the second floor.
Found the magic model area.
There was already a male magician standing in front of the bookshelf, looking at it. He heard Roland's footsteps and did not raise his head, but he took a few steps to the side, then took two steps back, leaving most of the bookshelf.
Roland looked at the other person for a moment, and then focused on the bookshelf.
The other bookshelves are full of books, but there are only six books on this bookshelf.
Roland picked up a book at random. It was a thin book with "Blind Sight" written on the cover. He opened it and found that the spell model was indeed recorded inside, as well as the writer's spellcasting experience.
Although it is not much, it can save latecomers from taking many detours.
Blindsight... can give the caster dark vision, a vision that some special races are proud of. For mages, it can be done with just a medium spell.
Moreover, blind sight is not valued among the magicians because it is not as useful as 'mental vision' at all.
The eyes are easily deceived, but the mind is difficult.
Roland opened the book page by page and at the same time used the camera function to take pictures of the contents of the book.
He quickly put it down and then picked up another one.
Soon, he flipped through all the remaining five books. These six books on third-level magic were all auxiliary magic.
What kind of guidance technique, spiritual soothing, etc.
Every spell has its value, but when it comes to practicality, Roland takes the book 'Cure Moderate Injury' in his eyes.
Then there is one book left.
Roland looked at the magician beside him, just enough to see the cover of the book in his hand.
"Flashing Orb"
Roland's eyes lit up and he saw that this was offensive magic.
Although among Roland's attack magics, Rainbow Jet and Arcane Missile are quite useful, and Chain Lightning is also pretty powerful.
But these three magics each have their own shortcomings, and the charging time of the big fireball is too long.
He urgently needs a magic that can be used quickly and with considerable power.
The third-level attack magic should be able to meet his needs.
As if sensing Roland's gaze, the magician who was reading closed the book and turned his gaze to Roland.
An ordinary face... There's nothing that can be done about it. Magicians almost all add 'points' to intelligence, but don't have so many points to add 'charm'.
For example, Vivian is quite beautiful, so her talent as a magician is average.
The male magician looked Roland up and down and said, "Do you want to read the book in my hand?"
Roland nodded.
"Then you have finished reading all of these?" The male magician pointed to the bookshelf.
"I've finished reading." Roland continued to nod: "I have a special memory."
"You have a photographic memory." The man clicked his tongue, looking quite envious: "It seems you are very talented."
As we all know, memory is one of the manifestations of high intelligence. It does not mean that all people with high intelligence have the ability to remember things, but their memory is certainly not bad.
"Then give it to you." The male magician handed the book to Roland without hesitation.
"Have you finished reading?"
The male magician shrugged: "Actually, I don't understand it at all."
You were so fascinated just now.
After Roland got the book, he immediately looked through it.
'Flicker Ball' is a very powerful magic. Although it is not as good as the big fire ball, it has a high rate of fire and high concealment.
Just like its name, these 'flashes' are 'invisible', that is to say, its ballistics appear and disappear, making it difficult to capture its ballistic trajectory.
Can also turn corners.
In fact, most ballistic magic can change its direction slightly under the control of the magician.
But this 'Flickering Sphere' strengthens the angle of change of direction. Generally, the angle of change of magic will not exceed 10 degrees, but the Flickering Sphere can reach about 30 degrees.
If the magic power is enough, the flickering sphere can even circle back.
This is a third-level elemental magic. Most people need to be at least level 8 to learn it effectively.
Roland is already at level 7, and his spiritual growth is high enough to be able to learn. The most important thing is that he is now an elemental lord. When he learns all elemental magic, the difficulty will automatically drop by one level.
Level 2 magic is as simple as eating for him.
He looked at the spell model diagram for about ten minutes and simulated it in his mind. Then he grabbed his right hand out of thin air, and a round ball of plasma appeared in the palm of his hand.
The male magician next to him had been observing Roland. He was startled when he saw this, yelled, and quickly took a few steps back.
He was frightened.
This sound alerted several other magicians around, and then they looked at Roland in surprise.
They had already seen the model of the flickering orb and memorized it, but no one could use it for the time being because it was too complicated for them.
Could it be that this young man is learning now by looking at it
It's a bit fake, right? You must have learned it before, and now you come here to deliberately show off your skills to attract people's attention
Roland ignored what they thought. He felt the magic ball in his hand carefully and then dissipated the magic power.
At the same time he shook his head.
No... He could feel that the power of the flickering ball was indeed higher than that of the rainbow jet and magic missile, but it did not reach the level he expected.
After all, he has the trump card of 'big fireball'.
It has to be changed... This magic, like the 'Fireball Technique', has a lot of room for modification.
The Roland people suddenly didn't want to do any tasks anymore. They just wanted to go back to the magic tower and perfect the magic.
But things that are promised to people must be completed.
Now Roland finally knows why many books in the Magic Tower Library say that a real mage has no relatives or friends, only magic!
