Chapter 590 Let Me Try It Alone

Roland didn’t read the battle report on the forum, so he didn’t know the latest news on the frontier of the battle against the Spatial Magic Tower.

In his opinion, it shouldn’t be a problem for several thousand players to conquer the Spatial Magic Tower.

After all, he had killed one of their elders when five of them attacked him together, which indicated that the elders of the Spatial Magic Tower weren’t good at fighting. Also, based on the battle report, the Great Elder who had the highest combat ability was already dead, and Andonara had killed another one.

At this moment, the Spatial Magic Tower only had a couple of kittens left.

By logic, it was impossible for the players to fail.

However, he underestimated his combat ability as well as the Spatial Magic Tower’s stock.

It was an academic sanctuary anyway, and it definitely had powerful research.

Besides that, he also overestimated the players’ combat ability in the current phase.

The average level of the 500,000 players was just level six. Those players who had come on boats or human-powered planes were the most zealous fighters. Their level was above average.

Even so, the five thousand players were only level eight on average. Only the few guild chairmen and battle maniacs had reached level

10.

Their level was too low for them to cause any damage to the intelligent golem, which was the epitome of the technologies of the Spatial Magic Tower.

The intelligent golem’s current level was 15. It also boasted a Fine Gold Body and the ability of Magic Power Absorption.

To describe it in the stats in the game, the basic physic defense of the intelligent golem was 25 points. Its resistance to cleavage, penetration, knockdown, and magic were 99, 95, 90, and 80 respectively. It was not something to be damaged by anyone who was not a Legend.

Even Legends might not be able to really hurt it unless they had high combat ability.

Also, after a human soul entered it, the intelligent golem was able to use tricks that only human beings knew.

That was much better than acting purely on natural instincts.

The several thousand players’ levels were too low. They might not be able to crush the enemy even if they had twice as many numbers.

However, the case would be different if there were five thousand Masters here.

It’s safe to conclude that their level wasn’t very suitable for this quest yet.

Their stats were completely outclassed.

The chairman of Fatter Cat had a lot of connections. He managed to reach out to Douglas and ask him to forward a message to Roland.

At this moment, Roland was studying the magic power circulation system on the boat.

Such boats could float because of the unbelievably large magic array at the bilge, which was unveiled by Roland in only three hours.

The ideas and technologies in the floating magic array were truly helpful to Roland, but what really surprised him was the magic power transmission system on the boat.

It was very advanced.

To wit, there were always losses during the transmission of energy. It might turn into other forms, such as light and heat.

Magic power was no exception.

However, there was absolutely no loss when the magic stripes on the boat carried magic power.

Roland was well aware of the significance behind this.

A loss-free transmission of energy would save a tremendous amount of resources.

Take the electric system of Roland’s motherland for example. The power that was lost during transmission each year was enough to support the neighboring country 24 hours a day for a whole year.

That was money, and a lot of it.

Even a tiny bit of energy waste might result in a terrible loss if the energy to be transmitted was great.

If the magic stripes were regarded as wires, Roland would be able to draw his magic arrays ten times bigger if there were no losses.

Roland wasn’t able to draw big magic arrays exactly because the loss during the transmission of magic power was too huge in Roland’s magic stripes. Bigger magic arrays meant greater power and a wider range of coverage.

With enough energy and “interrupters,” it wouldn’t be impossible to pave all of Hollevin with a magic array.

For example, a teleportation magic array that covered a whole city could send more than a hundred thousand soldiers to the back of the enemy line… That would be exciting.

Roland was more or less thrilled.

He tried to parse the arrays, only to find that the magic circuits on the boat were made of unique materials. He knew three of those materials, but he had never seen the other six.

He tried asking the magic apprentices who were responsible for boat maintenance, but none of them knew how to create the magic stripes on the boat.

However, one of the magic apprentices said, “I think it was Elder Greene who created those magic circuits on the boat.”

Oh!

It seemed that Roland had to pay a visit to the Spatial Magic Tower in case Greene got killed by the other players.

Right before he was going to set off, Douglas had come to him.

The rich guy had been living an enjoyable life in the Hollevin Magic Tower.

He studied magic, went fishing, chatted with Vincent, and partied with the nobles of Hollevin every day. While living a pleasant life, his magic abilities increased at a high speed too.

After only one year, he had already reached level eight from level three, and he only needed the last ten percent of EXP to arrive at level nine.
