497 I Met You Before (2/2)

Then, he gave Roland and Andonara each a blue badge.

It exuded the same magic waves as the blue badge Roland received at the dormitories of the Red Magic Tower, except that it was in a different color.

Those badges mustve been made in similar ways. Roland funneled some of his mental power into the badge. Then, he helped Andonara direct her mental power into her badge too. Andonaras mental power was actually quite enormous, but she didnt know how to use it.

That couldnt be helped. She wasnt interested in that as a Warrior.

At this moment, the mentor grimaced. Its a tradition in the Association of Mages that new friends here need to find their room with their own wisdom. But of course, youre free to ask for the help of the Mages here if you cant find it. I hope youll have fun, Roland.

The mentor laughed and left. Roland looked at the blue badge in his hand, which had a few interconnected lines. There were dots on the ends of each line.

These dots were of different sizes and didnt have any pattern to them.

Andonara examined her badge for a moment and murmured, This Association of Mages is too inconsiderate. They shouldnt have left their guests here.

Roland, however, smiled. I think this is fine. Lets take a walk together. We can get to know this place, and there will be time for us to go shopping.

Andonaras eyes glittered. It was truly a good thing that she could hang out with Roland now.

The Association was a considerate host after all.

Roland entered the enormous square building, only to be slightly surprised.

The building had only two floors. It was supported by enormous pillars. Every twenty meters, three enormous stone pillars in a row would support the thick floor above them.

Every pillar was fifteen meters tall, and the distance between the pillars was fifteen meters too.

Thanks to the equilibrium between their height and their distance, the building looked very harmonious.

The floor of the building was made of a unique smooth stone material. It seemed to be white, but when one looked down at the floor vertically, it would show dark, colorful light.

The colors werent vivid or dazzling. They made the building seem low-key but luxurious.

Roland estimated that the stone floor alone mustve cost a fortune.

There were a lot of people in the building, but since the building was too huge, few people could be seen.

Because of the long distance, the Mages had to run if they were in a rush. Some also used Acceleration.

Some even cast Floating on themselves, before they simply jumped off from the stairs or the balconies.

Roland observed his fellow Mages.

Those Mages were observing him too In fact, they were mostly observing Andonara. That was nothing to be surprised at. After all, beautiful girls were always the center of attention.

These Mages were quite decent. Though many of them noticed Andonara, none of them came to hit on her after seeing that she had a male companion.

Roland was glad that nobody disturbed them. He walked for a long time with Andonara in the enormous square building and saw a lot of things, such as an indoor spring which was created based on the siphon mechanism of magic elements, magic balloons that floated randomly, and wooden maids that could dance on their own but looked as terrible as the ghosts from horror movies because of the bad craftsmanship.

All in all, there were many things in this building

Andonara found them very interesting, but Roland wasnt as intrigued. There were too many similar things in reality. He understood their mechanisms the moment he saw them.

Walking for another half-hour, Roland entered the second floor, which was a lot quieter. It was a long corridor dotted with a black door every five meters.

Roland led Andonara to a room that had the number 1002 on the door. He then put the blue badge to the lock.

The door opened. When did you crack the secret of this badge?

Andonara was slightly surprised.

She never doubted Rolands cleverness; she knew that he would find out the secret.

But on their way here, Roland seemed to be admiring the wonders without examining the badge. I had a rough idea when I got the badge. Roland pointed at the blue badge and explained. There are six dots that are in different sizes. You can consider them a senary number. Then, those lines are actually a simple map of the passages. With the number and the map, we can know where our room is by comparing what we see to the map. Andonaras beautiful eyes widened. Whats senary? Well Roland scratched his head. It was truly a challenging task to explain what senary meant to a person who was partially illiterate.

At this moment, the room next to theirs was opened, and a female Mage walked out.

She was tall and blonde with blue eyes.

She was briefly stunned to see Roland. Then, she slightly bowed to show respect, because she could tell that Roland was a lot stronger than her.

After the courtesy, the female Mage was about to leave, but then she walked back after taking two steps.

Staring at Andonara, she said, Ive met you before!
