Chapter 79 - Purple Quest Triggered (1/2)

“How about it? Let’s start now.”

Seeing Roland beaming, Bard felt a wave of fury rise all the way to his chest and almost spurt out from his mouth in the form of curses.

However, he just said so himself: n.o.bles still maintained the basic etiquette, so he could only hold back.

“There’s no rush, we can talk about this after we’ve rested for a day or two. After all, we’ve had a long journey, and we’re very tired,” Bard said with a blank face. “When a suitable time comes, we’ll come to find you.”

After saying this, Bard immediately turned to go down the stairs.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn’t be able to hold back from hurling insults, losing his poise.

On the first floor, the unconscious magic apprentice woke up, muttering incoherent curses.

Bard frowned, walked down, and asked, “What’s the matter, not a single person was roped in?”

“There’s no one inside the Magic Tower.” Looking confused, the young n.o.ble mage standing in front said, “While you guys were having a chat, we even went up to the sixth, seventh, and eighth floor only to find no one there.”

Bard was stunned for a moment, then he sneered, “In other words, the people inside the Magic Tower already left? Was it Aldo’s handiwork or Roland’s? No matter who it was, our actions were all within their expectations. Interesting.”

“What do we do now?” the young n.o.ble mage asked.

“What else can we do!” Bard said bitterly. “We have to first find a place to stay. I’ve met with the mayor’s son John a few times—our relations.h.i.+p’s decent, let’s stay at his place for a few days before doing anything else. We can slowly think of ways to deal with that d.a.m.ned Roland.”

“It’s up to you,” the young n.o.ble mage said.

Soon after, the group left the Magic Tower, and before going out, Bard stared fiercely at the Magic Tower for quite a while.

Roland was on the eighth floor, and through the window, he watched them leave. When he was preparing to continue his magic experiments, he suddenly received a system notification from the guild.

Inside the guild Betta @’d Roland: “Quickly come to the 25th house on the east block, there’s an important matter.”

Roland replied, “What’s the matter?”

“An important quest, possibly a small scale dungeon.”

Dang! Roland felt his own unluckiness. Betta had quite the luck for triggering quests. Up until now, all the quests Roland completed were triggered by Betta.

A small scale quest wasn’t worth mentioning, but this one was actually a dungeon quest.

He immediately stood up and left the Magic Tower.

Of course, before leaving the Magic Tower, he used Hand of Magic to close the tower’s heavy stone door.

After all, if he left, there really would be no one inside the Magic Tower. Although normal people would feel reverence for a mages’ stronghold, some professional bandits didn’t care much. After the stone door was closed, only mental power could trigger the mechanism to open the door.

Generally speaking, bandits couldn’t enter.

Unless they grasped the high-level trap mechanism removal technique unique to the bandit cla.s.s.

Roland hurried over to the 25th unit on the east block. At the entrance, a thin, yellow girl stood at the door, wearing a black-and-white maid outfit.

Upon seeing Roland, she bent down slightly and said, “Mr. Roland, Master Betta asked me to wait for you here.”

Roland sized up this young girl and discovered that her complexion looked a lot better. He said with a smile, “It looks like you’ve been doing well lately.”

The young girl revealed a smile. “This is all thanks to you and Master saving me.”

Then, she turned around and brought Roland into the house.

This was a second-hand house, the furniture inside readily available, and although it looked somewhat old and worn, it was very clean and tidy inside.

There was no one in the living room, but the sound of someone cooking came from the kitchen.
