Andonara was very unhappy.
What your man does is none of your mother and daughter’s business.
But then, she also understood what Nia meant.
What? Roland wants to be a lich
This frightened her.
She doesn't care if Roland is handsome or not, doesn't care if he has money, and doesn't care if he is strong or not.
But my man must be a warm-blooded animal after all.
Hugging a lich like an ice cube all day long, with no human emotions at all... would break my heart.
She also quickly walked up to Roland, took Roland's hands, and said hurriedly: "My dear, don't worry about it. At most, I will ignore you from now on, okay?"
She even wondered if Roland had been squeezed too hard during this period, causing him to get a little sick of it
So you want to cure it permanently
I have to say that when you love someone, you will have random thoughts if the other person makes a little move.
Roland looked at the two women with some surprise. Then he understood why the two were so anxious and smiled: "Don't worry, I don't want to be a lich, I just want to understand the principle of the phylactery so that I can carry out targeted strikes. "
Hearing this, both women felt relieved.
Andonara was still a little worried. She stared at the phylactery in Roland's hand with a sharp look, and she seemed ready to destroy it.
Nia also had a similar expression.
It's just that the starting points of the two people are slightly different.
In fact, it is not surprising that the two of them were so excited. In this world, the academic knowledge of lich itself has extremely exaggerated power to confuse people.
I don’t know how many heroes just took a look at the knowledge of lich and then became addicted and fell into it.
There are very few people who can resist this temptation.
This is also the reason why major magic towers and major sects dare not put lich academics in their libraries.
Seeing the two of them acting like this, Roland thought for a while and said, "I'm really just doing research. If you don't believe me, you can go to the laboratory and watch me. How about that?"
Nia nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem."
After hesitating for a while, Andonara nodded.
Logically speaking, she should trust Roland more, but she just cares too much, so she worries about gains and losses.
Then Roland went to the laboratory.
To be honest, he didn't understand anything like the lich's phylactery at all. He was afraid that when he was studying it, he would accidentally damage the phylactery and let the lich inside escape.
That would be bad.
As an angel of life, Nia has strong pressure on evil forces. With her watching from the side, her research can be said to be worry-free.
After entering the research state, the two women almost slept in the laboratory.
Roland's mind was entirely focused on the Lich's phylactery. He didn't care that two beautiful women were wandering around in pajamas from time to time.
At this time, how can a woman gain new knowledge
The greatest crystallization of Lich academics is this phylactery.
It can be said that dark spells and curses of flesh and blood are all leftover from the wizard's play.
This phylactery is the only one whose concept is independent of the existing magic system.
He did not rush to take it apart, but first studied the magic lines on the outside of the box.
Different from the current magic circle, the magic circle of Lich Phylactery is quite weird.
The systems are very different, but there are similarities.
If we have to make a vivid comparison, then one is physical chemistry and the other is biochemistry.
Although the core things are similar, the derived abilities and knowledge are very different.
Just the magic circle on the box made Roland fascinated.
It took him nearly a month to analyze the magic array on the box, which greatly supplemented his own knowledge of magic arrays.
Things that the magic circle couldn't do before can now be considered.
For example, a magic circle that converts energy into matter.
But this matter should be put aside for later. The most important thing now is to continue to crack the life box.
Roland didn't want to have a group of enemies watching from the dark at any time.
Research is a process that consumes time, money, and materials.
Even to crack the phylactery, Roland used a lot of magic materials.
Make a simple magic circle and conduct various attribute tests.
The magic circle has many functions, such as attack, defense, assistance, etc.
And in Roland's hands, it was even more fun.
For example... a small perspective magic circle.
It is Roland’s latest masterpiece.
Can see inside small objects.
Material identification magic circle... The identification technique is fixed in the magic circle, and a weighing effect is added to identify the composition and weight of the object.
There are many similar small magic circles, all of which were inspired by Roland's modern laboratories.
Now Roland's research on magic has evolved to the point of using 'instruments', not just calculations.
When Roland was studying magic, he was very addicted and time passed quickly.
At first, Nia and Andonara were worried that Roland would fall into the world of lich, but now they were relieved to see that Roland was just doing academic research.
However, the two of them still did not leave the laboratory casually. They planned to wait until Roland stopped studying things like lich before making any plans.
About 800 kilometers to the west from Delbon City, four red sand people wearing black robes were riding camels from the desert village of Urganda.
Although black absorbs heat, wearing black robes is actually more comfortable than wearing white in the desert.
The four of them have been walking for several days, and their current destination is Delbon City.
Something happened in their hometown. Many mercenaries and even magicians were invited to help, but nothing could be solved.
It's no use asking for help everywhere.
Inadvertently, a golden son passed by here. After he saw the scene, he scratched his head and said to the village chief: "Give up. This matter is too troublesome. Most people are not willing to take it. Even if you give them enough money, they will solve it." No. This obviously has a lot to do with magic."
He was the only one willing to tell them what happened.
Other people came over, looked at it and left.
He was not willing to say a word to them at all, and would even spit at them.
So the village chief knelt down on the spot in front of this golden son.
This son of gold is also soft-hearted. He was depressed and said: "You can go to Delbon City to find a mage named Roland. He is a member of my race. He is soft-hearted and cares about magic. He may accept your offer. Entrust me to solve your troubles."
"Then how much money does he need?" the village chief asked pitifully.
The son of gold smiled: "Money? There are not many people in the world who dare to talk about money in front of Roland, not even the dragon. You bring some local specialties there. The main thing is that you want to express your feelings. You must be sincere and sincere in asking him." Help, don’t hide anything from him, tell him everything you need to say, maybe that will work?”
"Then, sir, can you help to invite him?" The village chief said hopefully: "I can see that you are also a good person."
The golden son laughed on the spot: "Of course I am a good person. You can tell with the camp detection technique. My head is green... Bah, these words make me feel green. It's just the village chief, I'm not stupid. , you say that I am a good person, so you want me to owe others favors? This is your business, you can't help yourself, I will show you a clear way, but it's better for you, you actually want to rely on me, people and things are not That’s what it does.”
With a slightly sarcastic laugh, the golden son rolled up his sleeves and left.
Naturally, the villagers no longer dared to pursue him.
After a few days, the village chief selected four villagers who were in the best health to come out, ride camels, and set off towards Delbon City with local specialties.
They asked merchants and passers-by along the way, walking slowly towards the correct method.
It took more than ten days to get out of the desert country of Urganda.
But these more than ten days were not in vain.
Along the way, they asked everyone what they thought of the Golden Sons, and almost everyone gave them a thumbs up, saying that they were the only race with a conscience on the entire continent.
Really good people.
Hearing these words, the four villagers became more energetic and continued riding their camels.
Then I walked for more than ten days.
They finally arrived at Delbon City.
Although no bandits were encountered along the way, when passing the checkpoint, the guards ate, drank, and took cards, and they ate less than one-tenth of the several local specialties they brought with them.
Although they arrived in Delbon City, the expressions of these four people were as if they were mourning for their heirs. They looked at the empty luggage carried by the camels and couldn't cry even if they wanted to.
In the end, the middle-aged man who was the leader said slowly: "There is nothing we can do, we tried our best. Anyway, we are here, go and beg the mage."
At this time, they were under the city, and when they entered the city, they were stopped again.
They thought they were going to pay tribute again, so the dark-faced man in the lead fumbled around in his bag a few times, pulled out some dried fruits, and handed them over.
As a result, the other side waved his hand, and a middle-aged man who looked very friendly looked at them for a while and asked: "Red sand people?"
The four of them nodded.
"What are you doing here?" Cage looked at them with the Sword of the Brave on his waist: "Business? But the goods you brought were too few, or were they robbed on the way? If so, where were they robbed? , if it is within our Delbon City, just tell me and we will be responsible for helping you recover the goods."
The four of them shook their heads: "No, we are here to see the owner of this place, a mage named Roland."
Roland
Cage was a little surprised: "You guys rode camels from Urganda just to meet Roland? You don't look like people who can learn magic."
"No, something terrible happened to our village. One of the Golden Sons said that a gentleman named Roland might be able to help us solve it."
Cage nodded slightly.
He also discovered that the situation of these four people was indeed a bit miserable.
All of them were skinny, scarred, and black.
I must have suffered a lot along the way, and I probably didn’t even have enough to eat every day.
The camels were starving and thin.
Just like the farming people regard cattle as family members, the people of Hongsha will also regard camels as the most important property of their family or the entire village.
If you don't have enough to eat, you have to ensure the supply of camels first.
"Roland has been studying magic recently..." Cage said. Finally, he looked at the four wooden monks and the ordinary people who were almost desperate, and said, "Forget it, I will take you there."
When the four of them heard that this man could see Roland directly, they immediately became excited.
The leader reached into the bag on the camel's back, took out a handful of dried fruits, and placed them in front of Cage.
Cage waved.
The man became anxious and put the dried fruit in front of Cage. When he saw that he still wouldn't take it away, he knelt down.
Cage is a professional after all. Before the man could kneel down, he grabbed him and said, "Okay, I'll just accept it."
He took the dried fruits, put them in his pocket, and then led the four of them toward the center of the city.
Outside Roland's manor, he asked four people to park the camels, and he led the four people into the manor.
The manor is guarded, but Cage is Roland's friend and Andonara's relative, so of course the guards won't stop him.
In the garden, the five of them met Andonara and Nia, who were drinking afternoon tea.
This is a rare leisure time for the two of them. About half an hour later, they will go back to the laboratory to accompany Roland.
When she saw her uncle, followed by four dark-looking men, she was a little surprised: "Uncle, who are they?"
"They want to see Roland and ask him for help."
"Do you want money?" Andonara stood up and wanted to go back to the room to get money.
A few random people came and asked for help, and Andonara didn't bother to pay attention to it, but it was different when her uncle brought them.
Andonara always remembered her uncle's kindness to her and was very grateful.
"It's not a matter of money." Cage explained: "They said that their village encountered a very strange magic problem, but no one was willing to help them, but a golden son told them that Roland might help, so they Came here from Urganda on a camel.”
"Uganda, that's thousands of kilometers away." Andonara was shocked: "Is there no one in Urganda who can solve it?"
Cage spread his hands: "The Red Sand People prefer swordsmanship and combat skills. The whole world knows how good their magicians are."
"That's true."
Andonara didn't want others to disturb Roland, especially when Roland was doing magic experiments.
But she looked at these four people. The nearly month-long journey and heavy pressure almost crushed them.
Their eyes were even confused. If it weren't for the hope in their pupils, they would probably look like walking zombies.
Andonara knew that if these four people heard the news of rejection, they would definitely faint in despair on the spot.
Pitiful!
She thought of her past self. Although she was very strong at that time, under the intentional and unintentional 'suppression' and 'psychological abuse' of the royal family, she was one step away from entering a desperate situation.
If it weren't for Roland...
Thinking of this, Andonara said to her uncle: "Let them wait here, and let the maids make them some food and drink. I guess they can't hold on any longer."
Cage smiled.
People from the Brave Family must have such a big heart.
Andona came into the laboratory, patted Roland on the shoulder, and after Roland turned around, told the story again.
Roland felt a little incredible: "A magic problem that no one in the entire country of Urganda can solve?"
He was very interested.
But he was more interested in the Lich Phylactery.
However, if human life is at stake, we still have to go to Urganda to see it.
Just when I was in trouble, a message suddenly popped up in the system.
'An epic mission, "Magic Crystal", has been detected. Do you want to extract it? '
Um
Yes, of course!
How long has it been? Finally, another epic mission appears.
Easy for me!
