Chapter 22 (2/2)

Had he known it in advance, he wouldn’t have posted the video. He only meant to give Mages more confidence and did not intend to cause so much trouble.

When the evening came, an official announcement was released.

The subtle meaning between the lines was still obvious.

“All the settings in this game are reasonable. If you think Mages are powerful, we welcome you to create a character of your own.”

All the Warlocks trembled in fury when the announcement came out, and Mages enjoyed the victory.

Roland was also relieved.

Although it was brutal, he actually liked the current rules for Mages, which were challenging but fun.

Spells had to be learned with wisdom rather than a quick click, which would’ve been too boring.

Late at night, Roland joined the game again.

He intended to learn Language Proficiency first.

He had copied the mathematical model for Language Proficiency from the forum.

However, after a quick glance at the model, Roland immediately shut it off.

It was too complicated. The dense magic nodes on the model were almost bloodcurdling.

For a moment, Roland even wondered if he was Mage material.

However, after second thought, he focused on the model of Language Proficiency again.

The following days were rather monotonous.

He mined and studied magic graphs most of the time, and when he was bored, he hunted the giant spiders in the maple forest for fun.

After several battles, he was already able to control his output of magic power. He soon discovered that Hand of Magic could be used as an extension of his arms.

As long as he concentrated, he could accurately press a giant spider down and stuff a regular fireball into its mouth, so that it would be blown up effectively.

That was a much more graceful way of fighting for a Mage.

Roland’s creativity was raised by the accidental attempt.

Then, a lot of bizarre derivative skills were invented.

For example, when the magic nodes for Hand of Magic were restrained, the spell would be turned into two long spears. Roland did not know their performance in a melee battle, but he could pierce giant spiders with them easily.

Ice Ring could be changed into Ice Blade… It was not exactly powerful, but since it could cut off the feet, the control effect of Ice Ring was improved.

Also, Hypnosis could be used to catch fish. After he cast a Hypnosis, huge fish would sink to the bottom of the lake and wait to be caught.

While he was having fun playing with magic, more than ten days pa.s.sed.

The fair in Red Mountain Town, which was held twice a year, was to be held today.

Betta came from Log Town with several peasants and found Roland.

Betta was blond and wore glamorous clothes in the game. He had the vibe of someone from the upper cla.s.s. The villagers dared not approach him.

“This is the effect of my talent. My cla.s.s is a natural-born n.o.ble,” Betta explained, noticing Roland’s confusion. Then he said, “Brother Roland, I’ve found a quest. I’ll share it with you.”

Roland was dumbfounded. “A quest?”

He had spent a long time in Red Mountain Town, but he hadn’t triggered any quests yet.
