Chapter 379 - I“m a Vengeful Person (1/2)

“I’m very disappointed.”

Almost everybody felt cold sweat drip down their backs after he said that.

But there were exceptions, such as Vivian’s family and the families of other magic apprentices.

Those people were on Roland’s side, as they had always been.

“In the spirit of friends.h.i.+p and reciprocity, I wanted to invite the celebrities of this city to discuss the future of Delpon. After all, this city belongs to every citizen living in it. However, some people have given up this opportunity.” Roland shrugged with a smile.

Immediately, all the guests relaxed. They realized that Roland didn’t want to do anything to them.

They felt lucky that they took the risk.

They might enjoy some privileges for joining this banquet.

“Before our discussion, I would like to make two announcements.” Roland nodded at his sides and continued, “After a year of traveling and learning, Vivian and Jerry have become official Mages.”

Hua!

Everybody exclaimed.

Vivian’s and Jerry’s families, in particular, applauded vehemently, so excited that their faces were all red.

Mage was a cla.s.s that was highly dependent on talent. Many people who were considered promising had been stuck as magic apprentices in their whole life.

Now that they had become official Mages, it meant that they could make greater advancements later.

Their future was nothing but promising.

More importantly, official Mages generally lived long lives, unless they died in accidents. The Elite Mages could even live more than two hundred years.

In comparison, though Warriors had tough bodies, their souls would decline when they grew old. Unless they became Masters and invigorated their souls, the souls of the Warriors would collapse, making it impossible for them to control their bodies.

Therefore, the spellcasters in this world generally lived longer lives.

It meant that Vivian and Jerry could protect their respective families for at least a hundred years.

How could their families not be excited?

Vivian and Jerry stepped forward and stood next to Roland. They were wearing the black robes of official Mages, with pride all over their faces. Jerry, in particular, had been stuck as a magic apprentice for decades. He felt bittersweet now that he had finally been acknowledged by the Magic Tower after such a long time.

They stood for a while, accepting everybody’s cheers and congratulations. Then they stepped back, returning the spotlight to Roland.

After the exclamations died down, Roland continued, “Next, we’ll talk about reciprocity.

“The Golden Sons respect rules. Everybody knows that I don’t want to go back on my promise on the distribution of interests.”

Roland looked down at everybody and saw confusion on their faces.

Their confusion was understandable. After all, interests were already limited, so how could he gain more without stealing other people’s interests?

It was because their eyes were never opened. Though the n.o.bles had more knowledge than the civilians did, there were few smart n.o.bles who could see through disguises.

Roland was not exactly a smart person, but thanks to the twenty years of systematic education and the seemingly useless information he read on the Internet, his vision had been broadened.

The information on the Internet was useless because smarter people had already used it.
