Charles' words were full of anger, but also concealed helplessness and depression.
In reality, he dare not say that he can call the shots, but at least his words have weight. As long as he is not facing peers who are at the same level or "higher" than him, isn't it easy for him to punch someone
But now, there is no way to deal with an ordinary person.
Having said that... people who can't move themselves are probably not ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Charles felt much better.
"In that case, let's put Roland's matter aside for now and ask the navy to help us clear our name and muddy the water at the same time." Charles sighed: "Each branch will restore all purchase and sale prices to their previous levels. , and try your best to save yourself, be cowardly when you need to be cowardly, and apologize when you should be apologetic. No matter whether you gain or lose money now, live on first!"
All the branch presidents responded in voice.
Return the price to its previous level, just make less money.
The biggest problem now is that many players have received missions targeting the Cornucopia Guild, and they don’t know how much they have to lose this time to pass the level.
After the meeting broke up, Charles thought for a moment and then quit the game.
After exiting the virtual cabin, he found his phone and checked the time.
03:12
Then he exhaled and dialed.
The other party's phone kept ringing until it stopped after one minute.
He dialed again.
Stop again.
After doing this three times, the other party finally answered the phone: "Charles, if you don't give me a reason, don't blame me for swearing. You should also know that one minute in real life only lasts three minutes in the game. Is there anything you can't do?" It says in the game, or when the game is shut down during the day, do you have to wake me up from the game at this time?"
The other party was obviously suppressing his anger.
Charles said slowly: "Douglas, help me say a favor to Roland and remove the post on the forum. I owe you a favor!"
"Ha." Some mocking laughter came from the mobile phone: "Why should I intercede for you, and a favor will make me offend Roland? Don't you know that I am now a member of the Magic Tower of Delbon City, helping you Intercede, what if Roland drives me away from the magic tower!"
Charles' knuckles holding the phone were a little white from the exertion. He held back his anger and said, "Can you help? We know each other in real life. Isn't our relationship as good as online friends in the game?"
"It's more troublesome to get to know each other in reality. The entanglement of interests is too great. You don't know when you will turn into enemies. It's not like this has never happened before." Douglass said calmly: "Charles, just admit defeat this time. I I can't help, and I don't dare to help. I remember I told you last time, don't treat this game as an ordinary online game. The influence in reality can hardly penetrate. The only thing that can make a difference is money, but for For a real big guy, that little money is really of no use.”
Charles finally couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Are you just watching those ordinary people in reality riding on our heads in the game?"
"What's so strange about that?" Douglas chuckled: "Except for the shelter of our fathers and our connections, where can we dare to say that we can compete with those poor students? Now these two things will be eliminated from the game. In reality, if we can use money to buy equipment and hire other players to help, the starting line is already earlier than most players, so don’t think about winning everyone. At least I don’t dare to think so. The more I learn, Magic, the more I feel how exaggerated Roland's talent is. He is not on the same level as us, do you understand?"
"Douglas, are you stupid!" Charles yelled at the mobile phone: "It's just a game, and you actually regard the master of the game as your idol! The longer you live, the more you go back."
"It's just a game?" Douglas paused for a while, and then said: "Although I don't dare to intercede for you, I can still remind you of some things. You also know that my family knows friends from the Intelligence Bureau. According to According to their statement, they don’t even have the power to investigate the details of the game, the location of the server, the specific technology used, and the players’ data. Instead, the game company has the power to investigate personal household registration data.”
At this point, there was a click on the phone.
Communication is interrupted.
Charles suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Even people from the Intelligence and Information Bureau can't check what the background of this game company is.
The game is too real, what is its purpose
Charles was a little uneasy. He lay back in the virtual cabin and entered the game again. No matter what, the Cornucopia Chamber of Commerce has invested so much money, it can suffer losses, but it cannot collapse.
You have to fight for it no matter what.
…
…
After explaining the matters in Delbon City, Roland drew a one-time multi-person teleportation magic circle and teleported Andonara and Stephanie back to the outskirts of the King of France.
After entering the royal city and returning to her manor, Stephanie summoned the servants and maids back from the outside.
The empty manor became lively again.
At the same time, a large number of invitations were sent out, and a banquet would be held in the evening.
Celebration banquet.
Celebrate her getting through this ordeal.
Roland went to the Magic Association and met Elder Elford.
The silver-haired old man sat on the chair and looked at Roland with great satisfaction: "Well done, you solved the problem without any support. Whether it was relying on connections, your own abilities, or luck. , no problem, these are all your strengths. In addition, the Light God Cult also sent a saint to express their gratitude to us yesterday, because according to their new paladin, they can find the dark creatures lurking in the sanctuary. , your information played a great role, and then they asked me to hand this thing over to you."
Elford took out a silver-white bracelet from the drawer and pushed it in front of Roland.
Roland picked it up and held it carefully.
Item: Dusk Bracelet (Epic)
Effect: During the day, the upper limit of all your attributes increases by +1. After entering the night, your mental recovery speed is slightly increased.
This equipment is good, worthy of the 'epic' suffix. All attributes are +1, which will allow Roland to improve his strength without any shortcomings. Although the improvement is not much, the improvement in all aspects is actually much stronger than a single attribute. Much better.
Mental power recovery does not increase the magic power recovery speed, but the speed of magic power recovery has a certain relationship with mental power, so it can be regarded as increasing the magic power recovery speed of the mage in disguise.
Of course, although this equipment is good, it is still far behind the small buckler given by Nia.
But even if this equipment doesn't cost four or five hundred gold coins, don't even think about getting it. The Temple of Light is already very generous.
Roland wore the bracelet on his left hand. The size was quite suitable and did not hurt his hand.
"You found the murderer who killed the vice president of the association. Although you didn't catch him, it is not your responsibility. Monsters like lich are troublesome even to me." Elford took out another one from the drawer. The item is a glass bottle with a red ** inside: "This is what our Magic Association will reward you with."
"What else?" Roland was a little surprised.
There are so many rewards from this epic mission.
He picked up the glass bottle. The red liquid in the bottle exuded bright spots of luster.
Item: Red Dragon Strengthening Potion (Epic)
Effect: An alchemical potion mixed with special magic materials and the blood of an adult red dragon. After drinking, it will slightly increase the lethality and magic penetration ability of fire magic, and permanently increase the character's upper limit of life by 10 points.
Good stuff too.
The effective lethality of Roland's 'self-destructing small fireball' has been further strengthened. The upper limit of 10 health points may not seem like much, but it is also the amount of health that all warriors can get by raising one level.
Quite a few!
Strength is something that is slowly accumulated by stacking various talents and iterating equipment to increase attributes.
Looking at Roland's slightly happy eyes, Elford said: "You are from our Magic Association. It makes no sense that the Temple of Light has given you good things, but we don't give them to you, otherwise it will appear that we are too stingy. You also You should be able to feel the effects of this bottle of red dragon's blood. It's best to find someone to protect you when drinking it, because there will be a 'severe pain' period of about ten minutes, and you won't have much fighting power at that time."
"Thank you, Great Elder, for reminding me." Roland put the bottle of medicine into the system backpack.
"If there is nothing else, just go do your own thing." Elford waved his hand and started to drive people away: "Get close to the eldest princess. After passing this level, if nothing happens, she will be France's from now on. She is the queen, and building a good relationship with her will be very helpful for your future. Magicians are short of money to study magic, and our queen of France should not be short of money."
Elford smiled ambiguously.
Roland probably didn't understand the other party's expression. After thanking him solemnly, he left the Magic Association.
It was already evening when we returned to Stephanie Manor.
The banquet was almost ready, and the new butler was orderly directing the servants to work. When he saw Roland, he immediately came up to him and said, "Your Excellency, you are finally back. The eldest princess invites you to go to her study."
The study was on the third floor. Roland knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in."
When he opened the door, he saw Andonara sitting in the corner, reading a book boredly. When she saw Roland, she smiled and said hello.
Then Roland turned his attention to Stephanie sitting at the desk.
Stephanie, who had already put on a corseted lady's low-cut dress, waved to Roland.
After Roland arrived, she held up a piece of thick white parchment and handed it to Roland: "This is the letter of appointment, fully appointing you as the temporary lord of Motassos County, with all the lord's authority."
Roland took it and looked at it. The French text on it did indeed mean this, and at the signature, Stephanie's full name was written, stamped with a red lion seal, and her fingerprints.
"Put it away. After tonight's banquet, you will set out tomorrow to rectify and collect the resources in my territory. Whether it is taxes or government rights, you can use them as you like." Stephanie looked at Roland's face. Eyes: "But you have to keep Andonara to protect me, okay?"
