Chapter 302 - Why Should I Help You? (1/2)

This was too gaudy. Not to mention that showing up on the battlefield would make him look like an idiot, but just walking down the road, he’d receive the contemptuous gazes of many people.

Roland was getting ready to take off these pieces of magic equipment. He had decided that this appearance would remain in the lab from now on and that no outsider should get a glimpse of it under normal circ.u.mstances.

However, just as he was about to take off his magic equipment, Andonara, who had been standing and watching on the side, trotted over and stopped him.

“Roland, what are you doing? Why are you taking off such a good-looking outfit?”

“Good-looking?” Roland tugged at the corners of his mouth. He thought Andonara had meant the opposite; he wanted to take it off even more.

However, Andonara pressed down his hands, this queen’s eyes bursting with bright light. “It’s really good-looking, it suits you.”

This was when Roland realized that Andonara’s eyes were so full of affection that it didn’t seem like she meant the opposite.

Then Vivian came in with fruit wine and some cakes, and also suddenly looked as if she were astonished to see Roland’s current outfit.

Roland now had a pair of large earrings s.h.i.+ning with blue light, bearing an awkwardness like Cai Xukun[1].

Somewhat sissy-like, but there was also a mysteriousness to it.

Are these two women aesthetically challenged?

What’s so great about this s.h.i.+ny outfit?

Men valued a low-profile look and reservedness.

But then he thought about it for a few seconds and had a vague understanding of why Vivian and Andonara didn’t find the costume too gaudy.

This had to do with the era and the cultural context.

In the modern world, there were neon lights everywhere, so no one would think that s.h.i.+ny things were that special.

However, in ancient times, a few pieces of broken gla.s.s could sell for a high price, not to mention jewelry that glowed, which could definitely fetch sky-high prices.

Women in ancient times were into this kind of thing.

And with the context of this world, there was no problem in saying that Andonara and Vivian were women of ancient times.

More importantly, the light blue flash on Roland’s body was a magical light.

Magic represented knowledge, mystery, and n.o.bility.

So in the eyes of Andonara and Vivian, Roland, a genuine Mage, had no problem wearing this outfit.

If it had been anyone else, such as a Warrior or merchants and the like…

The two of them would most likely ridicule it.

Even with the two women revealing their honest thoughts, he didn’t want to go out in this outfit.

He had to figure out a way to cover up the glow of the magic equipment.

While Roland continued conducting experiments in the Magic Tower, Jason finally arrived at Delpon.

He first took over the affairs from Hawk, and then, on the city wall, he watched Hawk, Link, and a crowd of guild members leave.

A slight breeze blew on Jason’s face and he smiled. “A dog with its tail between its legs.”

Then he turned around and said to the guild members he had brought with him, “Let’s go get the guild’s things back.”

This world had never been truly peaceful, though Delpon had been in a rare peace for nearly a year after the death of the old mayor.
