460 A Friend From Another Town. (2/2)

Claus handed the wooden tile to Roland. ”Here's your room key.”

The black wooden tile had several words engraved on it that Roland had never seen before, but with the help of Unhindered Communication, Roland could easily read what was on it.

Ruby Class, 602.

At this moment, Claus said, ”Mr. Roland, this concludes my duties. I hope that we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future.”

”You're not going up for a rest?” asked Roland.

Claus shook his head. ”I'm only a magic apprentice, I'm not qualified to stay in this area for too long or go in.”

After speaking, Claus bowed slightly to Roland, then turned around and walked away.

It seemed like Claus was in a bit of a pickle.

No wonder a single gold coin made such a big difference in his expression.

Roland entered the building through the front door. The floor was made of gray and black rock. The whole building seemed quiet, probably because the students hadn't arrived yet.

The main hall of the building was large, and a few maid-like people were walking around in it.

Over to the left, there was another young man in gorgeous noble attire talking to a maid.

The figure was familiar.

Roland took a closer look and couldn't help but cry out in surprise, ”Betta, why are you here?”

Roland walked over in large strides at the same time.

Upon hearing Roland's voice, the young man who was talking to the maid turned his head, and half a second later also shouted in surprise, ”Brother Roland, you're here too!”

Roland walked over and couldn't help but pat Betta's shoulder heavily a few times. ”You're pretty impressive. You got the entrance scroll here too?”

”Just lucky, I did a quest and got it.” Betta smiled. ”But I'm still essentially a Warlock, so the tuition had to be doubled—it's so expensive.”

Thirty gold coins doubled, that's sixty.

Geez, this kid's pretty rich.

But this kid has a talent for picking up money, and with his outrageous luck, he's probably never been short of it.

At that moment, Betta walked further away and said, ”Brother Roland, I see the golden pillar of light again, let's go pick up the money together. We'll split it.”

Roland gasped. ”It triggered again?”

Betta nodded repeatedly. ”And the light pillar is particularly large, so I'm guessing it's a lot of money.”

”So what are we waiting for, let's go pick it up.”

Roland had always believed that hard work and frugality was the only way to get rich, but he was not averse to taking the plunge and making money.

”Wait, I'll ask that maid about the terrain here.”

With that said, Betta went back to chatting with the maid, and about five minutes later, he came over and said, ”Got it. The place where the golden pillar of light appeared is in the west district, commoner's territory, so we should have no problem getting there.”

”Let's go, let's go.” Roland waved his hand.

Roland was not a highbrow person, and for him, this ”surprise” of picking up money was in itself an extremely interesting spice in life's journey.

Why act stoic when picking up money could make you happy?

They quickly left the dormitory and headed to the west district.

It took them almost an hour to reach the spot where the golden pillar of light appeared, as they were unfamiliar with the people and terrain, and the streets were not all straight.

It was a secluded patch of grass that was rarely crossed, and there were a few rows of small trees on the outside that obscured the view.

Beta looked up at the pillar of light that only he could see, then took a shovel out of his Backpack and began to dig.

His movements were very skillful and forceful.

It seemed that there was no shortage of digging regularly.

He had probably picked up money no less than a dozen times.

After digging half a meter deep, Betta brought up a stone chest from the pit and smashed it right open with his fist, and a small pile of gold coins burst out.

”That's a bit much,” Roland exclaimed.

Beta counted. ”There are thirty-seven, I'll take nineteen, Brother Roland you take eighteen, evenly split…”

Roland smiled and was about to say thanks, but then he suddenly turned his head and pointed abruptly to the left of where they were, ten meters away.

Fierce ice ripples spread out on the ground, and a translucent silhouette retreated so fast that if it hadn't moved so violently, it wouldn't even have revealed this translucent trace.

”You can't escape.”

Roland grunted and flicked his fingers on his left and right hands at the same time, and two huge blue Hand of Magic appeared, chasing after this translucent figure.

Roland instantly moved behind the translucent figure and a wide range of Ice Ring erupted at the same time.

Because it was too close, there was no way for this translucent figure to dodge, and it was directly frozen by its feet.

It struggled twice and was about to escape, but two Hands of Magic had arrived from the rear, and one on top of the other directly pinned the figure down on the ground in front of Roland.

Invisibility completely lost its effectiveness at this point.

A hybrid with a long white tail appeared in Roland's vision.
