199 Second Brother Isnt Stupid (2/2)

Then, he bowed and bid Roland farewell politely.

The people in the capital were indeed more open-minded… Although Felwood and he didn't start off great, Felwood had come to show his friendliness after figuring out who Roland was and Roland's value, trying to reduce the awkwardness between them.

Felwood's reaction suggested that he was smart and knew what was best for himself.

Back in Kaka's manor, Roland met Kaka in his study.

Kaka was studying the derivative spell that Roland taught him, bummed.

He couldn't help but give the graph to Roland and ask, ”Doesn't this node require too much magic power all at once? I can't do that.”

”You can try a few more times. It's a level-zero trick anyway. You wouldn't be hurt even if the attempts fail.” Roland smiled and said solemnly, ”I met your second brother on the way here.”

Kaka was stunned. ”What did he say to you? Did he threaten you?”

”Not exactly.”

Roland repeated what Felwood said and concluded, ”Your second brother is not simple. He found out who I was in only half a day, and he has promptly given in. I don't think I can just beat him up next time I meet him.”

Kaka smiled bitterly. ”Neither of my brothers are easy to deal with.”

”I think all three brothers are as good as each other.”

Kaka smiled and changed the topic. ”Did you make any progress with Antis?”

”Not exactly.” Roland shook his head. ”He did give me some general intelligence, some of which was detailed and related to the queen's private life. But it can't help me find her.”

”There are certain things that he can't say.” Kaka thought for a moment and said, ”He certainly didn't tell you anything about the six Archmages in the capital, did he?”

Roland nodded.

”We all know that one of them captured the queen, but none dare to investigate,” Kaka said. ”Mages are the noblest of all classes, and Antis is just a swordsman. Even though he is a noble, so what? The six Archmages are nobles too. They'd be revered even if they weren't. Antis dares not look into them. In fact, I don't think he wants you to investigate them either.”

”You are a Mage too, but you're being kicked out of your family,” observed Roland with a smile.

”That's only because it was a Mage who kidnapped the queen. They're only venting their fury on me.” Kaka felt that he was wronged.

Roland said with a smile, ”What do you know about the six Archmages? Is there anything you can tell me?”

Kaka suddenly rose and walked to the window. He looked outside for a while before he closed the window and returned to Roland. He said in a low voice, ”I can tell you the basic information of the six Archmages. Just don't tell people that you learned it from me.”

”Speak.” Roland was interested.

Then, Kaka spent half an hour telling Roland everything that he knew about the Archmages.

After hearing him out, Roland asked, ”Who do you think has most likely captured the queen?”

”If I have to give a name, I think it was Tobian.”

”Why?”

Kaka smiled. ”The other Archmages are too old to be interested in women, but Tobian is only in his forties. As a professional, he's as strong as a twenty-year-old ordinary person. So, you know…”

”But if it's just about biological needs, he could've just asked for a prostitute, no? Besides, as a powerful man, he must have a lot of female servants, right?”

Kaka shrugged. ”Who knows? It's possible that he likes the exciting title of queen.”
