Chapter 475 - Poisons (2/2)

Naturally, the tax revenues had increased.

Also, things were going on in the satellite city, which didn’t require any more funding from the main city anymore.

On the contrary, the satellite city was able to submit one or two gold coins as tax every month.

That was a great change.

In the afternoon, Douglas, whom Roland hadn’t seen for a long time, came to chat with

him.

Roland received him at the study.

Drinking the fruit wine, Douglas said with a smile, “I’m told that you went to the holy land of the Mages. Congratulations.”

“Is the news out already?”

“A lot of intelligence can’t be kept a secret.” Douglas paused a moment and stared at Roland in the eyes. “It’s the same in reality.”

Huh?

Roland looked at Douglas. “Roland, you and Schuck are too distinguished. Many people are looking for you. They’re working hard to search for and confirm intelligence.”

Roland frowned. “Why?”

“Everybody in the world knows the dragoness now. Too many men regard her as their dream lover,” Douglas explained. “Also, your queen has grown famous too. Many magnates and powerful men like mature women like her.”

Roland already understood Douglas’s meaning. “Plus, Schuck is a dragon knight, and you are the best Mage!” Douglas heaved a sigh. “You know that my parents are rich and my grandparents are powerful. In my circle, someone has tested that, if you give your virtual cabin to another person, it’s possible for that person to play as your game character.”

Roland softly put down his cup. Douglas said worriedly, “They want to find you and acquire your virtual cabins through whatever means possible. Then, they will be Schuck and Roland, and they will own the dragoness and the queen.”

Roland’s face darkened.

“Therefore, Roland, you’d better keep the lowest profile in reality.”

Roland took a deep breath. “Got it. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. That’s what a friend should do.” Douglas stood up. “In any case, as a member of the Delpon Magic Tower, I’m naturally on your side.”

Then, they chatted for a while, and Douglas left.

Roland sat quietly for a moment, before he dealt with the administrative affairs again.

He didn’t need to care too much about the things in reality. For now, he only needed to learn more spells and comprehend more magic theories.

After he became stronger in the game, he would become stronger by practicing the Daoists’ Nourishment of Life in reality. When he was strong enough, he would be able to fight back even if anyone came to him for trouble.

In Andonara’s company, the five days pa.s.sed very quickly. His friends were back, but they all looked awful and pale.

Roland teleported himself to the edge of the Red Magic Tower and returned to his manor.

Hardly had he pa.s.sed the hole on the wall when a shadow dashed to him quickly.

Then, she circled around him several times and then squatted on the ground.

The catgirl looked at Roland pitifully. “What took you so long?”

“It was a five-day vacation. I took a trip to other places.”

Roland walked in while he talked.

“You freaked me out. I thought you were gone again.”

The cat-humans were sensitive and curious creatures. They loved running about and visiting all kinds of places. It was hard for their family or master to see them. But if their family or master was gone for days, they would be scared and stay at home waiting for their family or master to come back, fearing that they were abandoned.

But the moment their master returned, the cat-humans would instantly forget their fear and begin to wander about again.

“I’m not really your master anyway. Wouldn’t it be better if I were gone?” Roland smiled. “This place would all be yours.”

“I don’t want it. It’s too huge and scary for me to live here alone,” said Marilyn unhappily.

Roland clicked his tongue. “It seems that I’m the servant between you and me.”

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.” Marilyn shook her head and said, “I’m relieved now that you’re back. Remember to inform me next time you go out, or I will be worried.”

Roland smiled and entered his own house.

Marilyn stayed at the door for a moment, before she ran out of the manor stealthily.

After cleaning up the yard with a dozen Hands of Magic and tools, Roland intended to spend some time in the library.

At this moment, a guest came to visit.

It was Murphy.

“If you’re not occupied, can we have a chat?”.

Roland said with a smile, “Of course we can. Why don’t we talk inside?”

“That’s unnecessary. I only have one question.” Holding his hands in the loose sleeves of his magic robe, Murphy said, “What kind of world do the Golden Sons live in?”

Roland raised his eyebrow. “Why are you asking that?” “Because of curiosity, which every regular Mage has. An alternate dimension is always mysterious,” replied Murphy casually. “Mysteries are addictive poisons.”
