Chapter 45: Not Difficult At All

The experience that Roland gained for learning a level-two spell was beyond his imagination. It was more evidence of how tricky Language Proficiency was.

Casting Language Proficiency on himself, Roland left the inn.

Gru had drawn him a simple map that marked Aldo’s address. Although the map was quite ugly, Roland was still able to read it.

Following the map, Roland came to a manor in the north of the city.

Surrounded by bronze fences, the manor had a flat and green lawn as well as a small building with white walls and red tiles.

Two guards were standing before the gate. Roland approached them and said, “I would like to meet Mr. Aldo, as a Mage.”

The guards had seen him and his magic robe, but they hesitated. One of them said, “Sir, if you want to meet our master, please show your invitation, or anything that can prove your ident.i.ty.”

It was the basic etiquette of the upper cla.s.s of Hollevin that an appointment should be made before two people who weren’t familiar with each other met. Roland, as an unannounced guest, struck them as a rude man.

However, Roland wore the clothes of a spellcaster. The guards dare not show any mockery or disdain.

“Tell the deputy chairman that I’m not only a Mage but also a Golden Son.”

The guards’ expressions changed when they heard Golden Son.

One of them said in a hurry, “Please wait a moment. I’ll inform the master.”

The guard rushed to the house. The other guard, upon noticing that Roland was looking at him, put on an anxious and obsequious smile.

Thanks to the two players who had a hardcore fight with a n.o.ble, players had a subtle reputation in Delpon.

They might not be notorious, but they were certainly awe-inspiring.

Roland moved his eyes to the manor.

The guard was relieved that Roland was not staring at him anymore. He had heard exaggerated rumors about Golden Sons before, and he was naturally scared of the undying.

Soon, the first guard ran back and said, breathing hard, “Master invites you to come in.”

Roland nodded at the guard and slowly walked to the building on a stone trail.

At the door stood a white-haired old man. He slightly bowed at Roland and said, “Esteemed Golden Son, Master is waiting for you in the study on the third floor. Please come with me.”

“Please lead the way.”

Roland spoke unhurriedly and followed the old man into the building.

As an ordinary person, Roland did not know much about luxury, so he couldn’t tell how extravagant the furniture in the building was.

The many maids in the building, however, were proof of Aldo’s wealth.

The maids were healthy and fair. It was obvious that they had been living a good life.

They were also quite pretty.

It was not ungrounded that Aldo liked beautiful girls.

The maids were quite energetic. They gathered in groups of two or three and observed Roland curiously while whispering to each other.
