219 Racial Gifts (1/2)

The image sent from the magic spider was of a voluptuous woman in a white dress sitting in a hidden chamber.

The chamber wasn't large, but it was well-furnished, with bright lights made of magic crystals, a large bed, a table and chairs, and a wardrobe.

And there were many fruits on the table, as well as golden cups and goblets thoroughly embedded with various gemstones.

The few things on the large bed were all made of silk, and the woman looked extremely well, not at all haggard, and had evidently lived comfortably without any abuse.

Antis, on the other hand, was down on one knee in front of the woman.

Although he couldn't hear their voices, looking at the several images streaming into his mind continuously, it became clear to Roland that this woman must be the queen.

Just as Roland was thinking about this, a system message suddenly popped up.

He opened it and was slightly surprised.

Quest failed: Find the Next Clue.

He then watched the quest font turn black and finally fade away from the quest list.

So a quest interfered with by an NPC will result in quest failure?

Roland found himself knowing a little more about quests.

The failure and disappearance of the quest was not a big deal to Roland. It was just a quest. It wasn't a huge loss of character experience or equipment, so obtaining useful information from the failure was a profit.

It seemed that in all future quests, he would have to avoid too much interference from NPCs.

When Kaka saw him lost in thought, he asked, ”What's wrong?”

”Nothing, just some small matter.” Roland stood up. ”I was expecting to be here for a long time, but something went wrong. Now it seems that in two or three days, I'll be leaving after you've successfully turned in your derivative magic.”

”So soon?”

Roland shrugged. ”It's been a long time since I've been back, and without a Magic Tower, I haven't even had time to test and learn magic, so it's time to return.”

Kaka laughed. ”Then at least for the next two or three days, you can stay at the manor and help me keep the situation under control.”

”Sure.” Roland was indifferent.

Roland then stayed in the manor for a while, and using this time, he started flipping through the magic book given to him by Princess Veronica.

There were two types of magic noted in it, Stone to Mud and Mud to Stone.

In reality, this was the reverse application of the same magic.

This was a level-two spell, and although there were quite a few nodes, it was much less difficult compared to Language Proficiency. Besides, now that he was at a higher level than before, and had the experience from learning several spells and creating several derivative spells, he quickly got started with it.

Using this against cavalry indeed could work wonders.

Not to mention cavalry, the heavy infantry squads would also be instantly annihilated.

There were a few guards who happened to be patrolling the area at this time, and when they saw such a large swamp, they gulped in fear.

Roland then began to learn Mud to Stone, which was easier to learn since it was just a reversal of the previous magic.

It only took an hour to successfully cast it.
