248 Human Tool (2/2)

Seeing that Dispel was so powerful, Roland became greedy.

Regretfully, the Priest's divine skills were blessings of the gods, or Roland would've offered to pay for the man's magic model.

At this point, the atmosphere in the carriage became odd.

Most players' silliness was only their disguise. They were actually all very sophisticated. The other two people in the carriage both saw the weird look on the Priest's face.

Immediately, nobody talked anymore. They reopened their browsers and logged in the forum.

Although he did not understand why the guy was suddenly upset, Roland was not interested in asking.

He continued devoting himself to his magic experiment.

If the buff spell could be dispelled, he would increase the ”thickness” and ”length” of the buff and see if it could be dispelled again.

Roland tried to reconstruct the nodes of the spell and infer the more suitable nodes through modeling.

About three hours later, the effect of the new spell was out.

Body Fortification (Enhanced): This will temporarily improve the target's constitution by 0.6*(the spellcaster's current level) for 1*(the spellcaster's current level).

After it was done, Roland cast it on himself, and the flash was brighter this time.

Although Suel pretended to be checking the forum, he had actually been paying attention to Roland. Seeing that Roland cast another buff on himself, he asked curiously, ”You picked up another new spell?

Hearing his voice, Betta and the Priest turned their heads too.

Roland nodded and snapped his finger at Suel.

Hardly had the spell taken effect when Suel felt a warm stream flowing in his body. He clenched his hands and looked at his system menu, only to be shocked. ”I've got three more points of constitution! That's awesome!”

Betta was envious and even more eager to learn this buff spell.

At this point, the Priest, who had been reticent, waved his hands at Suel, performing Dispel.

Once, twice… six times!

It was not until the sixth time that he finally removed Roland's buff.

The Priest's face was strange, as if he couldn't feel anything anymore. A dozen seconds later, he finally opened his hands and said, ”I've failed. I really can't compare to a genius.”

He knew that he had failed brutally.

He had succeeded in removing the buff after six attempts, but it would've taken him ten seconds to do that in a real battle.

More importantly, performing Dispel required tremendous mental power.

If he were to remove the target's buff by performing Dispel six times in a battle, he would be no better than an idiot.

It would be a waste of his time, and he would lose too much magic power.

At first, the Priest was rather jealous of Roland, but no longer.

It was pointless to be jealous of a genius you could never catch up to.

Looking at his companion's face, Suel felt lucky that he was not a spellcaster, or he would've really been bummed knowing that there was such a genius above him.

Roland showed no response.

He was still not satisfied.

The buff had been dispersed by a level-five Priest after a few attempts. What if he ran into someone of a higher level?

Roland began to reconstruct the spell nodes again to further increase the ”thickness” and ”length” of the spell.

Soon, the caravan stopped, and Hawk smacked Roland's carriage from the outside and shouted, ”It's time to rest.”

As it turned out, it was already midnight.

The players needed no rest, but both the drivers of the carriages and the horses had to take a break.

Roland jumped off and established a three-floored building with Mud to Stone. He also set up a simple stable for the carriages and the horses to protect the horses from the cold wind at night and the stalking beasts.

The players, on the other hand, went to the building. Betta even made barbecue on the roof.

After feeding the horses, the two drivers went to the roof and had the roasted meat that Betta gave to them in a corner. In the end, they were too sleepy and went to the second floor to sleep.

Schuck and Margret had descended from the sky. At this point, Margret was holding a dozen skewers of roasted locusts in her left hand. She relayed each skewer to her right hand and then raised her right hand to her mouth. Then, all the roasted locusts would be gone.

Roland was still reconstructing the nodes. He was holding a skewer of meat too, which Betta had given him.

He was only biting it now and then subconsciously, and the meat was still unfinished after half an hour.

Another half-hour later, Roland cast a new Body Fortification spell on himself.

This time, the flash of the spell was as bright as a light bulb, attracting everybody's attention.

Body Fortification (Extreme): This will temporarily improve the target's constitution by 0.8*(the spellcaster's current level) for 1.5*(the spellcaster's current level).

The effect was much better, but naturally… the cost of magic power had increased too.

Roland looked at the Priest.

But the Priest shook his head quickly and said, ”That's it. I'm done with being a tool for your tests.”
