Chapter 288 - Trying His Bes (1/2)

It was the first time Roland had seen such hideous humanoid creatures. He even felt that his eyes were burnt.

Then, he decided to retreat.

Although it was inappropriate to discriminate against someone for their look, they were really too ugly for Roland.

The other reason was that he seemed to be on their patro routel, and a conflict might burst out if he trespa.s.sed on their territory.

Therefore, Roland intended to get out of their way.

But right then, the patrolling murloc suddenly stopped, and their leader sniffed and charged at Roland with his weapon.

Roland was taken aback. He didn’t know that those creatures were so aggressive.

However, seeing that they were holding wooden spears and lances, he knew that they should be intelligent, so he thought to talk to them.

Hardly had he cast Language Proficiency on himself when the murloc, who were running with a hilarious posture, let out cries.

In Roland’s ears, they were shouting, “The ugly human is spotted. Get him!”

Roland nearly choked after hearing that.

Though he was plain-looking, it was downright outrageous to say that he was ugly.

Even more frustratingly, it was a bunch of real hideous monsters that had made the malicious remark.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to talk, but a few spears, with huge fis.h.i.+ng nets behind them, were hurled at him.

Roland snapped his fingers and flashed ten meters back.

After that, he activated spatial bubbles and flew away from the seash.o.r.e while those murloc wailed furiously.

After flying for half an hour away from the seash.o.r.e, Roland took a rest to recover his mana. He snapped his fingers, ready to use Long-Distance Teleportation.

However, he was dizzy. He checked his status, only to discover that his mana had been used up.

The Long-Distance Teleportation failed.

This place was so far away from Delpon that he couldn’t return even after he consumed all his mana.

He could only put on the Mind-Calming Necklace to recover his mana. Then, he established a stone building and stayed inside.

After resting for a few hours, Roland flew back with Human Cannonball. When half of the journey was covered, he recorded the coordinates and finally teleported himself back to Delpon.

In his manor, Roland rested for half a day comfortably and had afternoon tea with Andonara and Vivian, before he teleported himself to the capital and found Tobian and the headquarters of the a.s.sociation of Mages.

Tobian, who had convinced most of the councilmen of the a.s.sociation of Mages to support him, was quite delighted.

Sitting opposite him and looking at his bald, bulbous head, Roland said with a smile, “Though it’s still early, I must say congratulations, General Chairman.”

Tobian smiled delightedly. “Thank you, Mr. Roland. You must be here for something. What is it?”

Since they knew each other well, Roland simply cut to the chase. “Master, you’re quite experienced. What would you do if you wanted to cross a sea?”

“Use a boat!” Tobian thought for a moment and said, “Don’t ever attempt to cross the sea with Wind Soaring or other flying spells. Almost every Mage who tried that has died.”

“Almost?” Roland asked.

Tobian nodded and explained, “As far as I know, only two people who survived after crossing the sea with magic: Duncan the DemiG.o.d, and Mystra, who was not yet a G.o.ddess. Both of them crossed the sea as Legends.”

So, it was capabilities that really mattered.
