514 Combing a Bald Mans Hair (2/2)
Roland suddenly felt that the First Princess seemed a bit pitiful.
He then almost laughed aloudwhat was a commoner like himself doing pitying a royal?
It was like a beggar worrying that the richest man would quickly become poor if he spent his money recklessly.
Ridiculous!
At this time, a system message notification suddenly came, and when he opened it, he found that it was someone in the guild chat room pinging him.
Schuck: Roland, come meet me at the Moonlight Stone Tavern, theres something I want to talk to you about, alone.
Roland: Ill be right there.
After sending the message, Roland told Andonara and the other three that he had to take care of something.
Then, under the reluctant gazes of the three, Roland teleported out of the place.
Moonlight Stone Tavern.
Still the same seats, the same people; even the scene where Schuck was pursued by the waitresses was almost exactly the same.
Roland sat in front of Schuck and asked, Calling me out in such a hurry, did you find anything?
Indeed, I have. Shuck laughed and said, I heard that Menon died shortly after my colleagues left him, and then you took the fall.
You seem to be pretty well-informed.
Schuck shook his head. Thats because I have people watching Menon all the time.
Why? Roland was surprised.
He saw that Menon was mentioned in the book of magic insights, and Menons philosophies were also highlighted, so he thought to ask Menon about what he had found.
As a result, Menon died within three minutes of meeting with him.
He had a clue related to Menon, so he went to check on him. Why did Schuck want to investigate and spy on him? Seemingly seeing the question on Rolands face, Schuck smiled and said, We are Saint Samurai of the Church of Light, and have a keener sense of dark magic. Menon came in contact with dark magic before, so he was always on our special list of people.
That explains a lot!
After Menons death, we noticed a hidden burst of dark magic in the capital, which should have been a curse remotely activated by someone, which killed Menon, Schuck explained, but the other partys tactics were very good, so we didnt even find the actual source of the dark magic.
In other words, you still dont know the enemys true identity!
Schuck shook his head. Indeed, we couldnt find it; the enemy is very clever. But were not completely out of luck. According to our intelligence officers, the cold curse is not something that ordinary people can use. It seems that only Lichs, or non-human creatures of darkness, can cast it.
You mean, theres a dark magic monster hidden in the capital?
Yeah, thats what I thought. Schuck sipped on fruit wine. Whether hes human or not, if he can use the cold curse, hes a monster. Im not telling you to be careful-players wont die
but the people around you have to be careful; after all, once theyre dead, its almost impossible for them to come back to life unconditionally.
Understood.
Roland and Schuck then talked for quite a long time, and finally, it was Margret who suddenly appeared and pulled the latter away.
The little dragonesss strength was great. She was less than one and a half meters tall and her body looked weak, but pulling Schuck was as easy as pulling a rag doll. Roland went home on his own, but just as he walked out of the Moonlight Stone Tavern, a small white bird suddenly hovered above him.
Follow me.
A familiar female voice sounded in his consciousness, and then the white bird flew out of the city.
Stunned, Roland immediately followed it with Human Cannonball.
In a short time, Roland followed the bird to a large forest and flew to the middle of it, where suddenly a pulling force brought him down to the ground.
Thirty seconds later, Roland planted his feet on the ground, and he saw that his surroundings had become very strange, with clear green plants everywhere, which all seemed to have become quite vigorous.
Before Roland could begin to study why these plants had such strong vitality, a green light came down from the sky.
With her wings spread and wearing a white robe, Nia slowly descended from midair.
After landing on the ground, she waved her hand at Roland. Long time no see, Roland.
It is indeed you, Ms. Nia.
Roland smiled. After not having seen her for a while, Nias bosom seemed to have grown a little more.
Did angels always have developmental stages?
Nia bounced up to Roland, her wings temporarily retracted. It was right to give you the task of defeating Parn; I didnt expect you to encounter him so quickly. Roland was slightly stunned. Isnt the duration of this quest ten years? But if you have a clue in front of you, do you complete it or not? Nia narrowed her eyes and smiled, seemingly a little mischievous. Whats the clue?
Because the Holy Realm is nearby, I cant expand my mental power to scan the entire city, and if I did, the Church of Light might fight with the Church of Life. Nia snorted and crossed her arms. But Im awesome, and I already know roughly where that dark creature isin the north of the city.
North of the city, isnt that the territory of the Holy Realm?
Roland seemed to have a headache. If it wasnt for the fact that Nias eyes were really pure and beautiful, Roland would have suspected Nia of trying to trick him.
Going to the Holy Realm to look for creatures of darkness was just like combing hair on a bald mans head.
