Chapter 629 It Can Also Be Used Like This?
The spacious living room was filled with the fragrance of cakes.
Queen Andonara served up the delicacies she had baked herself.
Charles nodded slightly in gratitude, then asked with a smile, “Almighty, you know so well how much Meteorite Mineral is needed to build a floating city, do you already know how to build it? Be sure to count me in.”
Roland waved to the side where there was a decorative bookshelf with several books on it, one of which flew into Roland’s hand.
Then he spread it out, turned to one of the pages, and pointed it out to Charles.
“The approximate materials needed for a floating city are recorded here, but the most important floating chassis construction method is lost. I tried to reverse-engineer the process with a large database, but unfortunately failed.” Roland shook his head helplessly, then added with a longing expression, “If only I could build a floating city, I could go wherever I want! And it would be safe.”
In reality, what was written in this book were not these contents at all, but this book was written in Hollevin language, which Charles couldn’t read.
Also, Roland could sense that Charles didn’t have the spell Language Proficiency on him.
So Roland wasn’t even worried about him seeing through this.
Charles chuckled. “I personally don’t think that big data is as useful as the rumors say.”
“I hear, Charles, that you graduated from Columbia Commonwealth College?” Roland smiled stiffly. “Sure enough, people who come from famous schools think differently.”
Charles looked embarrassed.
Everyone who was in the loop knew what kind of school Columbia Commonwealth College was.
So as soon as Roland’s words came out, Charles immediately dared not speak, and at the same time secretly hated Douglas, knowing that it must be the latter who had spilled some information about himself.
“Well, I am indeed inferior to you in terms of ability.” After being embarrassed, Charles became more straightforward. “Let’s continue the topic just now. Two days later, we’ll gather in Sisilia, then we’ll set off together. If there’s anything you need our help with in preparing please feel free to say.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll be prepared myself.”
“I’ll go and get ready then,” Charles said as he stood up. “Take care, I won’t be sending you off,” Roland said, standing up as well.
Charles nodded and left.
When he was gone, Andonara sat down next to Roland. “You’re really going to help him? We can search for that dragon ourselves, then kill it. I’m pretty good at searching now. If I know the general location, I can find it after a stroll.”
“There’s no need for that.” Roland shook his head and said, “Their goal isn’t that black dragon, but the formula of Dragon Meat Reagent. They want to make their own Dragon Meat Reagent in the future and don’t want to be subjected to others.”
“They can slay dragons?” Andonara was a little surprised.
“Just because they don’t have it now, doesn’t mean they won’t have it later.”
Andonara thought about it and agreed.
The growth rate of the Golden Sons was so exaggerated that regardless of a freak like Roland, just the Golden Sons she taught and was responsible for turning into Great Swordsmen were already intimidating enough.
They almost progressed half as fast as she did.
It wasn’t that Andonara was self-absorbed and arrogant, but her growth rate was quite amazing after awakening the Hero’s blood, and although it had slowed down a lot now, it could still be described as completely godlike. At this rate, reaching Demigod would be a matter of five to ten years at most.
And at that time, Andonara would probably just be in her early thirties.
Also the higher the level of the professional, the longer their lifespans and the less likely they were to age. By the time she reached Demigod, Andonara would still have the appearance of a young woman and that vitality would remain until she was dead.
“Then after they have the Dragon Meat Reagent, will they turn around and suppress our business?” Andonara was a little worried.
“Don’t worry.” Roland shook his head. “There is a limit to the number of creatures like dragons. And as that number decreases, they’ll be harder to kill. There is even the possibility of offending the two gods, the Dragon God and the Mother of Dragons. That’s why the Dragon Meat Reagent business won’t last long. I have other more permanent businesses in the pipeline.”
“What are those?” Andonara leaned into Roland’s arms, her eyes shining brightly at her man like a young girl who was in love for the first time, pure and delighted. She loved seeing Roland’s swaggering look, which was full of scholarly temperament.
“The teleportation magic array business.” Roland laughed. “When I lower the construction material fee of the teleportation magic array, as well as the individual teleportation fee to a level that is acceptable to the public, I’ll be able to receive handfuls of money till my hands go limp.” Andonara had no perception of just how lucrative it was to collect traffic fees. This couldn’t be helped. After all, she hadn’t seen anything like it or had any concept of it, but that didn’t stop her from trusting Roland.
“How much more money can that be?”
“A conservative estimate is that once the teleportation magic array is spread around the world, the fee collected from each person in a single day alone can exceed the tax revenue of the Hollevin royal family for more than five
years.”
This was still the lower end of the spectrum. Andonara’s eyes widened. “That’s impressive.”
She didn’t think she could be surprised by anything anymore after becoming a Legend, but she was now still taken aback by the prospects of Roland’s businesses.
Her man was so powerful!
Whether it was knowledge, combat power, or even the ability to make money… and being so handsome, he was just beyond perfect.
In Andonara’s eyes, Roland’s plain looks were actually well worth a second look-a typical case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
Such a perfect male was her man, and she smiled as she wrapped her arms around Roland’s waist and clung to it, her sweet breath coming through in a way that could be cloying. Two days later, Roland brought Andonara to the city of Sisilia.
The city had gone through certain things before, and while it was now restoring its former prosperity, it was still far from its heyday.
The population was already less than half of what it was. But this was, after all, a major trade traffic route, and with a few dozen or tens of dozens of years, it would surely be able to return to its previous prosperous state.
Roland found the members of Cornucopia in the appointed tavern.
Eighteen players above level five, none of whom were Master.
The highest was only level eight.
Looking at this group of men and women, Roland sighed.
He understood that he was still tricked in a small way.
The group of players all stood up when they saw Roland and Andonara, and the captain… or team commander took the initiative to come forward, saying, “Thank you, Almighty Roland and Lady Andonara, for coming to guide us. I’m the deputy commander, Bacon.”
The man smiled cordially and even vaguely humbled himself.
“Deputy commander?” Roland froze for a moment. “The real commander hasn’t arrived
yet?”
Bacon pointed at Roland with a smile on his face.
“Oh!” Roland understood as he sat down on the table and asked, “In reality, you guys didn’t find an injured black dragon, but took an epic quest to eliminate a black dragon, right? Then you guys couldn’t beat it, so you found a way to ask me to come and take you guys, right?”
Bacon gave a thumbs up. “As expected of the strongest Master Mage. Impressive.” Indeed… This was Charles’ idea.
Someone from their Cornucopia had received the epic quest to eliminate the black dragon, with a recommended level of level ten, and a recommended number of twenty people.
Logically, this was a situation that would require at least a team of level tens.
However, the highest in Cornucopia was now level eight, and since they had been “exterminated” the last time, Charles had learned from his mistakes and started to think of ways to raise the average strength of all the guild members.
However, It took time to catch up with the levels of the first-rate combat players, and even with a large number of resources put toward their advancement, it would be hard for them to keep up with the first-rate players. They could only slowly progress. Recently a member of the guild received this epic quest, and normally, they would need to get a lot of outside help.
However, epic quests were known for giving large amounts of EXP, and if they let a lot of outside help in, while the quest could be completed, their guild could at best let two or three newbies take advantage of the EXP.
Was there a coattail that they could ride on which allowed large numbers of guild members to participate and could take out the black dragon?
