Chapter 368 - The Guild is No Longer Useless (1/2)

Plots and schemes were anything but unusual in this world. Accidents might happen when one thought they were safe.

Though this vampire seemed wretched and could not resist, what if she was duplicitous and had pointed at the servant’s position instead of the master’s position? Then, would Andonara become her servant instead?

Therefore, Andonara did not step in hurriedly after Christina established the contract magic array.

Roland took a picture of the magic array that was running and asked Christina for the spell model. If she refused to offer it, she would be up to something.

If she offered it, Roland could learn this magic array based on the model and confirm whether or not this vampire was really surrendering.

When Roland demanded the model, Christina nodded without any hesitation and drew the model on the ground with a branch.

Cage observed them and nodded in satisfaction.

Both his niece and Roland were remarkable young people with promising futures, but their achievements might be restricted by their personalities.

Many young geniuses would’ve made great accomplishments if they had lived longer, but they were too confident and reckless and often died in the enemy’s trap before they could achieve anything.

Roland and Andonara’s caution and capabilities could protect them from most dangers.

Roland squatted and looked at the spell model on the ground.

It was the second time he had ever studied a magic array. The nodes that were in squares and the special symbols were absolutely meaningless to him.

But he could always ask… Raising his head, Roland looked at Christina and pointed at one of the squares. “What’s the usage of this node?”

“It hardens the ground and stores magic power. It’s the second pool of magic power,” replied Christina immediately.

“What about this one?”

“It identifies the person who enters. Together with the node below that confirms masters.h.i.+p…”

“Don’t explain the nodes that I haven’t asked you about yet.” Roland glanced at Christina and pointed at a random node, before he asked again, “What about this one?”

Scared, Christina said, “It dictates the shape and size of the array…”

Then, Roland pointed at another few nodes, and Christine explained quickly.

The others all watched them.

The magic apprentices were particularly focused. Magic arrays contained advanced magic knowledge anyway, and few Mages in Hollevin knew much about them.

Now that they had seen the model of a magic array here, and someone was interpreting it, they had to listen on even if they barely followed.

The opportunity was too rare.

After pointing at half of the nodes, Roland stood up and said to Andonara, “Let’s keep an eye on her first and wait a day or two before formalizing the contract.”

Andonara naturally nodded and agreed.

She always listened to what Roland said.

At this point, Christina suddenly said shyly, “Masters, can I… eat something first?”

While talking, she stared at the half-roasted goat not far away and subconsciously swallowed.

“Of course.” Andonara fetched the goat and put it before Christina. “How much do you want?”

“Can I have all of it?”

Everybody was lost for words. Can you really finish so much meat when you’re so little?

But at this point in the barbecue, they were mostly full, and they wouldn’t mind giving away the remaining meat to the girl.

Roland said to them, “I’m going to study the spell in my room. Andonara, keep an eye on the little one and don’t let her do anything.”

“Okay,” said Andonara with a sweet smile.

Roland turned around and went to his room.

Watching Roland return to his room, Andonara moved her eyes back to Christina.

The girl was already eating the meat. She seemed to be eating gracefully, but some of the meat would disappear after every bite, and she swallowed it without much chewing.

Everybody watched her finish the roasted goat. Her belly did not bulge at all.

Christina burped, and Andonara asked her, “Are you full?”

“Almost!” Christina put on a happy expression. “But in fact, I don’t eat much. I can be fed easily.”

Having been eating fruits in the wilderness for three months, she finally had something nice to eat now.

Obviously, n.o.body was convinced by her statement.

Cage said, “Let’s call it a day. Everybody go back and take a rest. Anna, keep an eye on the girl.”

Andonara nodded.

Then, everybody returned to their rooms, and Andonara brought Christina upstairs too.

Opening the door, she found that Roland was in a daze before the desk.
