171 Bards Struggle (2/2)

The later it was at night, the colder it would be.

Bard took a long breath, and he was already breathing out vague mist.

Seated by the window, he was holding a glass of green fruit wine. Instead of drinking it, he watched the silver ripples of the cold moonlight while the cup shook in his hand.

Bard had known that the Golden Sons were good and would affect the nobles sooner or later.

However, he didn't know that it would happen so quickly.

Tonight, he raised his cup to the moon and didn't drink it. It was a sleepless night.

The next day, Bard came to Roland and said, ”I intend to stay here for a while. Can I join your Magic Tower for now and learn the fundamental magic knowledge with them?”

Roland smiled and said, ”Not a problem.”

The party the previous night was actually Roland's improvisation.

After all, Bard had gotten almost double rewards for him, including gold coins and magic resources that sometimes couldn't be bought even when one had the money.

So, as a gesture of gratitude, Roland threw a party for him according to the tradition here.

Because he made the decision hastily, Roland thought that few people would attend.

But beyond his expectations, almost everybody that his butler invited came.

The players at the party, on the other hand, were the members of Silver Wings that moved here a couple of days earlier.

There were about seventy of them. Though they were generally level two and level three, they were still a powerful force.

Roland held the party partly to welcome Bard and partly to see if the players could assimilate into the nobles of Delpon.

As it turned out, the result was not promising.

Though the two parties tried to communicate, their beliefs and ideologies differed too greatly.

Their conversations died off very soon, and it was fortunate enough that they didn't call each other names right then.

Although the attempt failed, the party raised quite some talk in the forums.

A player had recorded the video and posted it after editing.

The title of the post said, A Real Party of Nobles. What an Eyeopener!

A lot of players replied to the post.

”They look like gentlemen and ladies, but they're actually thieves and bitches.”

”My friend, where did you get that from? Why did I sense nothing but the grandness of the party?”

”Different people see different things, young man.”

”Had it not been for respect for Roland, those guys would've blown out the candles and started horsing around right there.”

”Wait, how exactly did you see those signs?”

”I don't see any either.”

”Of course you decent people don't understand. Those who can understand are all wealthy guys that hold parties all the time. They can understand the body language of the participants at the party very well, just like me.”

It was Principal Huang who replied this time. His reply which was in a unique gold style raised another riot.

At this moment, Roland led Bard to the Magic Tower and said to the magic apprentices, ”Mr. Bard will stay for a few days in the Magic Tower. He will discuss and learn the basics of magic with you. Let's welcome him.”

The magic apprentices clapped their hands, but they obviously looked rigid and nervous.

The Mage players, on the other hand, seemed calm and even interested in the stranger.
