Chapter 638 - A Woman’s Tears (1/2)

Chapter 638 A Woman’s Tears

Exiting the vanguard meeting room, Roland looked at the desolate red earth in the distance, and then at the rather excited players walking around.

He smiled at this.

The Realm of Devils was so desolate that even the air smelled of mud and dust, which was rather uncomfortable after a while.

Still, the players were working feverishly here, creating a flourishing feeling.

Players who were good at field warfare were outside wiping out the lone devils. These demons were strong, certainly much stronger than the professionals in the main plane, and much tougher to fight at the same level…

But the players were stronger… They had Elite base character templates and combat instincts and experience tempered by countless life and death battles. Especially the tier zero combat maniacs, if purely comparing combat instincts, even Roland wasn’t their rival, and only by relying on improved spells could he crush them.

A five-man squad of players with a normal configuration could fight twenty or more devils of the same level head-on.

Soon, there were no more devils roaming around the portal.

Then… some players began to grow drought-tolerant, less sun-demanding plants near the temporary capital city. This was just an attempt and wouldn’t necessarily be successful.

But it was always good to try; it was a farming instinct ingrained within the blood of many players.

When they saw a wasteland, they always wanted to plant something when they had a spare moment.

Also, they started trying to build roads outward.

This was the uniform decision of the vanguard command group.

After all, it was much easier to provide support if the roads were easy to traverse.

Roland returned to Delpon after that and focused on improving the contract spell.

At first, Roland didn’t pay much attention to this contract spell.

He thought that it was essentially a karmic

spell.

To bind both sides with cause and effect.

But after studying it carefully, he found that it wasn’t.

It was an abjuration spell.

It was incredible how a defensive spell managed to bind the actions of both parties.

Roland’s interest was piqued at once.

After analyzing and deciphering it, Roland found that there were many things in this contract spell that didn’t make sense, or rather, were contrary to human magic.

According to the ideas of human magic, these nodes connected wouldn’t unleash a spell.

But this spell just so happened to work.

It was quite interesting.

And vaguely, he felt the node arrangement of this spell was somewhat familiar, and after some contemplation, he compared it to the Nimbus Cloud Flight that he picked up in the Netherworld and was surprised to find that many of the nodes were the same.

Is this bloodline magic?

Wait… Nimbus Cloud Flight was learned from some elf in the Netherworld, and this is the succubus’s contract spell, so how can an unrelated race have almost the same node alignment!

Is there such a thing as convergent evolution for magic? In a way, the harsh living environment of the Netherworld was indeed similar to that of the devils.

It seemed plausible that two races would become similar at the core of their magic to adapt to more or less the same living

environment.

But Roland suddenly remembered something. He opened his browser, went to the forums, and then searched for a post that was quite interesting and also seen by many players as an eye-catcher.

A Lorewalker of some repute, after digging up a lot of monuments, said this which made many people laugh their heads off.

The elves and the trolls were both children of the World Tree.

The author also put up a lot of ancient murals that he “photographed” on the forum. But the evidence for this wasn’t obvious. At best, it was some elves and maybe some troll-looking things working together to offer sacrifices to the World Tree.

But the thing was, there were plenty of humans who worshipped the World Tree apart from the elves.

After all, the World Tree was too sacred, too ancient, and even had a special kind of beauty.

This wasn’t enough to prove that the trolls were a child race of the World Tree.

Then this Lorewalker also found many murals of trolls and elves living together.

However, these murals were so old that some of them were very blurry and there were no scripts, so they looked ambiguous.

It could be interpreted as living together or as conflicting

In short, decisive evidence was lacking. However, after a year or so, this Lorewalker added that the succubus seemed to have ties to the trolls as well.

Then the players didn’t believe him at all.

They thought he was just creating publicity.

Roland was only reminded of this matter when he saw that the elves who went to the Netherworld had a rather similar magic core to the succubus.

Then he tried to channel the cores of Blossom Acceleration and Summon Treant and other elven spells and tried to transfer them into human spell nodes. In the end, he was surprised to find that…. they had pretty much the same style of node arrangements.

There were even some nodes that were identical.

Interesting!

Roland compared several kinds of spells and analyzed them with big data, obtaining new data to substitute back into the big data.

After spending six days like this, he finally unraveled the succubus’s contract spell completely.

“I can’t believe that the elves, the trolls, and the succubi are actually related by blood!” Roland exclaimed.

The elves were pure and loyal, the trolls were foolish and rude, and the succubi were sexy and wanton (uncontracted)—three completely different impressions. Who would have thought that they could be traced back to the same origin.

Now that the spell was unraveled, he started trying to improve it, and for this Roland specifically went over to the Realm of Devils and took a succubus “captive” back to Delpon for testing Although she would be a lab rat, she wouldn’t be hurt.

After all, Roland’s database already had a huge amount of magic data, and improving spells was a fast process.

After two days, he worked out the most basic equality contract.

Roland then had the succubus learn it and had her use it on Douglas.

The spell was supposed to be used on Roland, but Andonara stood by with a sweet smile.

Even Roland felt a little chill run down his back.

This succubus was even shaking all over.

She didn’t dare to move.

In the end, he had to let Douglas do it.

As Roland’s admirer, Douglas accepted the offer rather happily.

One reason was that he was quite happy to be able to help his idol, and the other was that… if he succeeded, he would have managed to get a succubus for free.

What a wonderful thing.

Although he was a second-generation rich kid, it wasn’t his time to go fight in the Realm of Devils.

In reality, most Mages were unqualified to go to the battlefield in the Realm of Devils because they hadn’t developed competent combat abilities.
