57 Different Ideologies (1/2)
When Aldo found Roland, he was analyzing and inferring the new nodes and routes of Language Proficiency in his lab.
By Roland's estimation, since the spell could let the recipient understand what other people said, it could certainly let him understand what they wrote when he found the correct route of nodes. There must be other effects if he connected the hundred of nodes in different ways.
Deduction, experiment, failure, recording… The whole process was repeated again and again.
Roland was completely dedicated to his magic experiment. Although his notebook was invisible for outsiders, his mental power that was spreading and collapsing every once in a while was obvious.
The door of the lab was open. Standing at the door, Aldo watched Roland doing unknown experiments and sensed his gathering and collapsing power.
He observed Roland's pained face when his mental power collapsed.
He stood at the door for half an hour. His smile at the beginning was gone.
When Roland's experiment failed again, he walked in.
Roland was holding his head. It was rather painful.
The physical pain had been reduced to one-tenth, but the pain of the soul was not soothed.
Right now, Roland's soul was hurting. Mental power seemed to be connected to his soul.
As a modern young man, Roland did not really believe in the soul.
But recently, his mindset had changed.
There may be souls, except souls were not a superstitious concept but a specific matter that could not be detected by modern science yet.
The essence of mental power was actually the movement of the soul.
It was Roland's personal speculation after having done so many magic experiments in the game over the past two months.
The pain on the soul could not be alleviated by the system, so he could only pause his experiment.
Roland heard footsteps. He raised his head and smiled. ”Chairman, you've finally come to the Magic Tower.”
Looking at Roland's pale face, Aldo was secretly shocked, but he said casually, ”You're working too hard. You should take a rest.”
”It's not easy to find something interesting that you like. If you don't work hard, you will grow old before you know it. By then, neither your body nor time will allow you to work hard anymore.” Roland smiled. ”It's rather unusual to meet you here, chairman.”
”I'm here to forward a message.” Aldo found no seats in the lab, and the atmosphere did not feel right. ”Why don't we talk in your study?”
”All right!”
The two of them came to the study.
Since Roland had only just moved in, there was nothing to entertain guests in his study. According to the social customs in reality, he could offer tea, or at least some cookies, to guests.
Therefore, Roland looked embarrassed at this moment.
