Chapter 446 - Considerably High-End Tech (2/2)

Since the auto-repair could fail, Roland had actually requested on the forum three portions of materials for each piece of equipment.

Nothing came for free—Roland didn’t want to bear all the risk himself. The chance of three portions of materials successfully enchanting was roughly 85 percent.

In other words, as long as his luck wasn’t too bad, there should still be some leftover from the thirty portions of materials used to enchant ten pieces of equipment.

Even if he was really unlucky, at most, he’d add four or five more portions of materials himself and still succeed.

To increase the success rate, Roland took a special day off in the manor.

The next day he returned to the lab in the Magic Tower.

Six small mountain-high piles of magical materials were piled in front of Roland, and after a moment of calming his mind, Roland began to use his intuition to construct an auto-repair magic model.

…

Auto-repair was a fairly high-level enchanting technique, and Roland gave each of the ten pieces of equipment three practical effects, all of which only took about thirteen days.

But enchanting ten pieces of equipment with the single effect of auto-repair took him fifteen days.

Roland’s luck wasn’t too good, failing three times in the beginning before applying auto-repair to the first piece of equipment.

The second one also succeeded in the fourth attempt… but it was after the second successful enchantment that Roland became more skilled and touched the gates of divination magic.

The heavy door of divination magic had now been pushed open by Roland, and through this small crack, Roland realized a lot of things.

He benefited greatly.

After that, it was simple. The remaining eight pieces of equipment were successfully enchanted with an average of 1.5 attempts, and then there were ten shares of materials left.

The price per portion of the material was around 20 gold coins.

In addition to the 20 gold coins for each piece of equipment, Roland made a huge profit on this single deal.

200 gold coins worth of magic materials, and 200 gold coins of crafting fees.

And it was a great way to practice and strengthen his proficiency in divination magic.

Roland knew that Douglas had taken up residence in the city of Delpon. Vivian had told him about it.

As the most substantial controller of the entire city, Roland was now very good at intelligence-gathering.

And it was only natural that someone as important as Douglas would be on the radar of the gangs in Delpon, and thus the information would get into Vivian’s hands.

After making the equipment, Roland returned to the manor and had the servants prepare a dinner, inviting all the players, including Douglas, Charles, Hawk, and Link.

And some business partners in town.

The mayor’s family was also invited.

When John Junior received the invitation, his expression was quite awful.

His sister and mother, however, were quite happy.

The two women had a pretty good relations.h.i.+p with Andonara.

And n.o.blewomen, for the most part, loved dinner parties.

This was one of their few entertainments at night.

Douglas was quite excited when he got the invitation. This meant Roland had gotten his equipment ready.

As an admirer of Roland, Douglas was even a little nervous.

Charles took the invitation, looked through it for a while, and smiled. “Roland is quite interesting. He actually controlled a city imperceptibly. I originally thought Cornucopia was already quite powerful, and my power extended to many places, but compared to him, it’s still far from it. Moreover, this person’s own strength is extremely significant, and when added together, my achievements are not worth mentioning… Say, in reality, how elite is such a person?”

“I guess it’s at the level of a top scorer in college exams, or not far from it.” Douglas thought for a moment, and continued, “And then at the university, I guess he’s probably an influential figure, the very incredible kind.”

Charles shook his head. “Or it may be just chance—even pigs can take off standing in the limelight.”

“Heh, if it’s just chance, then he wouldn’t be the number-one Mage among the players,” Douglas sneered. “After all, I’m a Mage too, and I know very well how hard it is to learn spells. He’s got real talent.”

Charles nodded. “That’s true too.”

Then the two brought their own “guard” friends to Roland’s manor.

There were already many carriages parked at the gate.

They handed over the invitations to the steward, and right after entering, Roland could be seen with Andonara entertaining guests in the center of the garden.

Roland was still dressed in his magic robes, but Andonara had changed into a queen’s outfit.

The blue and purple royal dress and the colorful crown on her head all set off the already extremely beautiful Andonara as if she were a G.o.ddess.

Douglas just marveled briefly and s.h.i.+fted his sights.

Meanwhile, Charles was amazed for a long time, and then couldn’t help but mutter, “Roland, this kid, is quite the player. What high-end tastes.”

Roland saw the two men enter out of the corner of his eye, and immediately turned and walked over to them.
