473 Dilemma
Roland was a little surprised. He could see that the Red Magic Tower was quite 'talented in the world'. Even the green-skinned orcs could be brought to be mages. It was unreasonable but looked down on the cat human race with obvious intelligence.
"Why are you cats being treated as slaves?"
The catwoman's white fluffy ears drooped down, and even her tail fell to the ground.
"Because decades ago, one of our Catman wizards led a fight, but failed, and then the Catman tribe became a slave."
Although Catwoman didn't say much, Roland could already hear a lot from this sentence.
The struggle led by the Cat Humans failed.
What have you fought for? From the current nationality composition of the entire Red Magic Tower, and the matter of the Blue-skinned Orc yesterday, you can guess one or two.
Sure enough, no matter where it is, the desire exists.
"Then do you want to go out for a walk openly?"
The catwoman nodded, of course she wanted to.
Since she became sensible, she hasn't communicated with people for a long time, including her own relatives.
Because once the ownerless cat appears, it will be arrested, especially the female cat.
She was almost caught by the old mage before. If Roland hadn't come back quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Then you can pretend to be my slave."
When the catwoman heard this, his expression immediately became hesitant.
Roland shrugged and asked her to think slowly. It was normal for the other party to be wary.
Back in the stone building, Roland opened three level three spell drawings, looked at them for a while, and then put them aside.
All three magics are pretty good, but for Roland, the priority level is not that high.
The current task is to learn magic circles.
As long as he learned to make the magic circle, Roland felt that he could do quite a lot of tricks.
Moreover, the functionality of level one and two magic is enough to meet all needs in daily life and combat periods.
The subsequent high-level magic is just a kind of enhancement.
If you lay a solid foundation, it will be easier to build a tall building.
So he is not in a hurry.
This night he did a lot of data analysis, and the learning of the magic array was more difficult than he imagined.
The amount of data involved is much more than level 2 magic.
That night, Roland was just filling in the wrong database.
The next morning, he was about to go to class just after he went out and found the kitten girl standing in front of his door.
Her green eyes were bloodshot and her expression was a little tired, as if she hadn't slept all night.
When the catwoman saw Roland come out, she seemed a little nervous. She hesitated for a while, and when Roland was almost impatient, she finally spoke.
"I'm willing to pretend to be your slave."
After saying this, the cat girl felt that she had used up all her strength and seemed unable to get much angry.
Cats are sensitive creatures, born with strong curiosity about everything, and are also strongly wary of any creature other than their relatives.
This is a proud and delicate creature.
It is quite difficult to win their trust.
Roland did not win the trust of Catwoman, Catwoman was just betting.
Betting on Roland is a good person.
She has been alone in this place for too long.
She wanted to go back and see her mother, stay with her openly, and walk openly on the streets without being caught.
And Roland is the only person who has not shown any malicious intentions to her in the past decade.
Roland looked at the catwoman's uneasy expression, smiled, and asked, "I don't know what your name is yet?"
"Marilyn." The catwoman's white hands tucked together: "Because I am a civilian, I have no surname."
"I know, you'll wait for me to come back here."
Roland bypassed Catwoman and left the manor.
Today is Terryton's class, all of which are basic magic theory. Roland has understood it for a long time, so it doesn't matter whether he or she goes or not.
Besides, the teaching of the Red Magic Tower is actually quite casual. It doesn’t matter whether the students come to class or not. Anyway, they are all adults and they are responsible for themselves. If they fail the exam tomorrow, they will be withdrawing from class. They have to wait five years later and be with the freshmen before they are qualified to enter the classroom again.
Roland went to the commercial street in Dongcheng District and found a shop with purple silk hanging at the door.
The plaque of the shop reads ‘Magic Shackles’.
This is a slave certification shop.
It is one of the personal business of a certain veteran.
You can buy chords for controlling slaves here, and only the chords sold here have authoritative "effects". Otherwise, many untouchables, without any identities, will not even count slaves.
It's okay to be beaten to death on the street as a spy.
Therefore, many times, this choker is also a disguised protection for people without identity.
Roland entered the store and stepped on the black solid wood floor.
The shop is big, with a black counter at the end, and a few gray chairs for people to rest, as well as several tables.
When he saw Roland, the maid with a fair appearance and a white collar on her neck greeted her.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Master, are you here to buy a necklace?"
Roland nodded.
"Then please sit down first."
After Roland sat down, the maid stood respectfully in front of Roland and continued to ask: "How old is the wearer of the necklace?"
"It's probably around fifteen."
"Where is the race?"
"Catman."
"gender."
"female!"
The maid was stunned for a moment and said, "You are so lucky. Cats are already very rare. I didn't expect you to have female cats."
Is there any saying about female anchors?
Roland was a little confused, but his expression was still very calm, as if having a female cat is just a very ordinary thing.
The maid took a breath and continued to ask, "So what level of necklace do you want?"
"What's the point?"
"The higher the level of the necklace, it means that you value this slave, and ordinary people dare not do whatever they want."
Roland understood, to put it bluntly, it is financial resources and identity display, which is an advertisement and deterrent.
Tell others that the slave's owner is very financially powerful and may be very powerful, so don't do anything randomly.
"Then it's the highest-end one."
"Understood."
After recording Roland's request, the maid bent down slightly and said, "Please wait a moment before we make the record, and immediately put the necklace on it."
"How much?"
The maid lowered her head: "Ten gold coins."
Very expensive!
Roland frowned, but he immediately took out all the gold coins and handed them over to the maid.
The maid held the gold coins in both hands and lowered her head and slowly retreated.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the maid came again. She was holding a black wooden holder with a necklace made of pure gold and silver on it, and a key was placed next to it.
There are magic patterns engraved on the necklace, and there are also on the keys.
This is obviously a magic item, no wonder it is so expensive.
"This is a necklace and key, please accept it."
Roland put the necklace and keys into his backpack and returned to the estate.
The kitten girl squatted in front of the stone building and stared blankly at the clouds in the sky.
Hearing Roland's voice, she jumped up suddenly.
Roland walked in as he looked at the necklace.
The magic circle on this choker is very interesting. Roland can barely understand some nodes, but more nodes are "encrypted" with special methods, so they can't understand what it is.
Roland stopped in front of the stone building. He looked at the catwoman, handed over the key and the necklace, and said, "You wear it yourself, and you will keep the key for you. Don't lose it. I heard that there is only one."
The catwoman looked at the white necklace holding her hands, and she swallowed: "Silver necklace, Master Master, why are you... Thank you!"
Catwoman Marilyn raised her head, her green eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Roland didn't know what the silver necklace represents for Catwoman, and now he just wants to continue studying magic.
In the Senate Church, Murphy took the node drawings of the self-exploding fireball on the desktop in front of several other people.
He said seriously: "I tried this spell last night, it's very strong."
"Is it necessary to just a second-level spell? Wasting your only proposal quota this year."
"Not to mention a year, even ten years of quotas, I am willing to waste it. Now, as the convener of an extraordinary meeting, I force each of you to read this drawing. Do you understand?"
Several veterans looked at Murphy with an inexplicable look. In the end, they didn't say anything. The veteran closest to the drawing reached out and picked up the drawing.
"I'll see what can shock you so much..."
The veteran looked at it for a while and immediately shut up. His expression became more and more serious and more serious.
About five minutes later, he slapped the desktop suddenly: "Interestingly, the unity of these nodes is simply a stroke of magic, without any extraneousness. All nodes have their own effects and have an impact on each other before."
"show me."
The closest veteran on the left side of this man snatched the drawings. After a while, his expression became quite surprised just like the veteran before.
Swish!
The drawing was snatched away by another person. After reading it for less than a few minutes, it was snatched away by the next person.
Twenty minutes later, the drawings finally came to the hands of the Great Elder Elford.
After spending five minutes to read carefully, he subconsciously pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, and said, "What awesome boy."
"So the Great Elder, start the talent migration plan. If you use strong people, you must tie Roland to our Francis Kingdom, otherwise you will destroy him."
The elder, who had been pinching his nose bridge and seemed quite distressed, said: "The people I sent out before have sent back the information. The matter is very troublesome. For this kid, we can only use soft methods and absolutely not strong ones."
"Why?" Murphy asked in confusion.
"Because they are the sons of gold." Elford sighed: "A new, very troublesome race?"
The elders looked at each other, and they had never heard of this word.
Chapter completed!
