422 The Golden Sons are Getting More and More Influential (1/2)

So, not many of them were available on the market.

Besides, it was even harder to gather five kinds of elemental cores at the same time.

Therefore, Roland was rather surprised that the Guild of Mercenaries delivered the five types of elemental cores so quickly.

Meeting with the men from the Guild of Mercenaries and giving them the final payment, he got the five elemental cores.

Roland had read introductions to elemental cores from the books in his Magic Tower. They were said to be rhombic crystals the size of an adult's fist. Different elements would result in different colors.

Those cores were rather beautiful. They seemed to be crystals, but there was flickering magic light flowing in them like very tiny shooting stars.

Roland put the five elemental cores into the system backpack. He planned to go to Ill in a couple of days and learn how to transform into an Elemental Lord.

After finishing the business about the magic school and the Magic Tower, Roland activated a teleportation spell out of the city and came to Ill, the unique border town that was split between human beings and elves, again.

Because it was near the Elf Forest and under the cover of the magic power of the World Tree, the air here was particularly fresh. One would be relaxed and reinvigorated if they took a deep breath.

That was how ordinary people would feel.

However, as a Mage, Roland could tell that the effect of the air was because of the abundant natural power in it.

Compared to the elemental magic power, which was neutral, natural magic power had more qualities of life because it was preferred by all natural life.

Of course, the natural magic power could slightly strengthen all natural life too.

The most obvious example of the enhancement was that the human beings living around the Elf Forest were much healthier than those living in the middle of the human world.

Entering the town, Roland was about to go to Susie's manor when he met a patrol team of elves.

The sheriff saw Roland and came to him promptly with a smile. ”Hey, kin, it's been a long time.”

Kin… Roland was stumped for a moment. Then he remembered that he picked the elven bloodline for his Hybrid specialization.

Players like Roland only regarded themselves as human beings, and their bloodline was nothing more than a background setting for them.

They never took it seriously, so they never really felt anything special about it.

But in the eyes of the elves, Roland was really a half-elf.

That was a cognitive dissonance.

The handsome sheriff was rather warm. ”You've come to the town again. Are you going to stay here henceforth?”

Roland shook his head. ”I'm here to meet someone.”

”What a shame.” The sheriff pointed to his left and said, ”Do you see the giant white eucalyptus tree? My tree house is right above it. Drop by if you have time.”

Roland was slightly surprised by the enthusiasm of this elf.

They weren't wary of him at all just because he had the eleven bloodline?

Well, that was true.

The elves barely suspected their own kind except for the drows, unless the drows had really done many things that made the elves trust them.

Smiling at Roland again, the sheriff left with the patrol team.

Roland came to Susie the Silver Fox's manor.

Perhaps because the guards recognized Roland, they let him pass without stopping him at all.

The moment Roland came in, he saw the sexy long-eared drow lying on a long chair in revealing clothes and giggling in the middle of lots of men.

Susie spotted him immediately after Roland showed up.

She quickly stood up and said to the other men. ”My date is here. You can go back now.”

All the men were frustrated. They glared at Roland angrily for a moment, before they all reluctantly left.

After all the outsiders in the manor were gone, Susie said, ”You're finally willing to come here? Lord Ans waited for you for half a month, before he had to leaven to tend to his business.”

”Sorry about that,” Roland said rather awkwardly. ”I was delayed by many things.”

Susie walked by Roland and said, ”Follow me.”

Roland walked behind Susie.

As they moved on, Roland could smell Susie's scent.

Roland had thought that a drow as unrestrained as Susie would wear lots of perfumes, but on the contrary, her perfume wasn't strong but very pleasant. It was like the fragrance of flowers.

They climbed to the third floor of the building, and Susie pulled out a dark golden suitcase from the bottom of her bed. She opened it in front of Roland.

Inside the suitcase were two hardcover books, whose paper was white and whose writing was black. There were also plenty of handwritten, complicated patterns at the margins of the pages.

Both books were rather quaint.

Susie picked up one of them and displayed it before Roland.

Roland saw the familiar pictograms again.

Then, Susie closed the book and asked proudly, ”Ancient Elvish is incomprehensible even for most elves. Can you really understand the book?”

Roland shook his head. ”I can't.”
