Chapter 40: Two Consecutive Quests

It was indeed simple yet difficult.

Some people could make a billion bucks easily, but some couldn’t save a million in their entire lifetime. The gap between people were too huge.

For ordinary people, magic was mysterious and incomprehensible. They did not even dream to approach it. That was why the whole city was filthy except the square near the magic tower.

“If you want to know where Mr. Aldo’s residence is, sir, I can draw you a simple map,” said Gru with a smile. “Besides, Mr. Aldo has a propensity for women. If you bring a beautiful slave with you, your chance of meeting him will be higher.”

A slave?

Roland would meet Aldo, but not with any slave. He said to Gru, “Thank you for your intelligence. What should I pay for your information?”

“Nothing. It’s my honor to get close to a spellcaster.” Gru waved his hand and said sincerely, “I only hope that you can remember a n.o.body like me after you grow into a powerful Mage.”

“Thank you.” Roland stood up but did not make any promises.

He would definitely be powerful. After all, players would never die. However, he couldn’t promise that he would be famous or that he would remember this mustached man.

After all, Gru had few distinguis.h.i.+ng features.

So, Roland merely expressed his sincere grat.i.tude.

Gru looked at him in a strange way.

Roland returned to Lamb Girl from the noisy tavern, because he realized that his Language Proficiency was about to be over.

Over the past month, he had learned basic words in Hollevin, the country that he was in. But he couldn’t understand the sophisticated or uncommon words. As a leader of the a.s.sociation of Mages, Aldo must be a capable and knowledgeable man. Roland did not intend to talk rudely when he visited the guy.

Walking past the charming courtesans, Roland entered his room.

After Roland came in, a bunch of women watched his room and teased each other. A beautiful girl was pushed out, but she laughed and jumped back, having fun with her friends.

Roland practiced Language Proficiency in his room.

Although he had to learn meditation before he could use a spell beyond his level, there was certainly nothing wrong in trying to connect more basic nodes.

His head hurt again. Roland rested for a while and continued.

Without his notice, dawn had already arrived. Someone knocked on the door.

Roland opened the door, and it was indeed Betta.

His face was flushed in embarra.s.sment. After he entered the room, he looked around and found no women. Finally, his nervousness was gone.

Roland said with a smile, “Were you haunted by the women on the first floor?”

Betta’s embarra.s.sment consumed him again. “No, nothing happened.”

Roland knew that his guess was correct. He chuckled. “You should’ve picked a better location for us to meet up.”
