Chapter 695 Pearl of the Plain

The Great Swordsman landed in front of Roland after the leap.

Her sharp broadsword paused four centimeters before Roland’s face and trembled.

The attack was blocked by the Magic Shield, and she couldn’t cut in.

Roland was LV12 anyway, and the person was only LV5. Besides, his Magic Shield had been optimized by him. If the Great Swordsman had cut the Magic Shield, the Mages shouldn’t have existed at all as a class.

After blocking her attack, Roland said casually, “I’m not your enemy.”

The Great Swordsman subconsciously jumped back to keep a distance from him.

It seemed to be a foolish decision, considering that Mages were best at remote attacks.

However, having been through many battles recently, the Great Swordsman knew that the Mages had a lot of burst melee skills, such as Ice Ring, Lighting Flash, Thunder Palm, etc. A distance of about two meters was the real “vacuum” distance for a Mage.

Most of the Mage melee spells could be avoided over such a distance. If they were to use remote skills, the melee classes could counterattack faster as long as they reacted quickly enough.

As a high-agility class, the Great Swordsman had advantages in taking the initiative of the battle.

The Great Swordsman looked at Roland warily at first. Then, she gradually became delighted. “You’re Roland?”

Roland’s videos had always been popular on the forum, so his face in the game was easy to recognize.

Roland nodded. “One of my friends sent me a message, saying that a player here knows something.”

“That’s me, that’s me.” The Great Swordsman quickly nodded. “My name in the game is Watson.”

It seemed that she was indeed Jin Wenwen. “Watson, as in Emma Watson?” asked Roland curiously . Watson nodded slightly in embarrassment.

Roland became even more curious. “If you are a girl who likes magic, why did you choose to be a Great Swordsman instead of a Mage?” “I like wizardry, not magic,” said Watson both angrily and awkwardly.

Roland smiled and asked solemnly, “Regarding the force that’s trying to deal with me… Can you tell me more about it?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s talk in a quieter place.”

Roland voluntarily led her forward.

Walking behind him, Watson stared at his back, deep in thought.

“Huang Wenwei!”

Watson suddenly called out.

Roland continued walking unhurriedly. A few seconds later, he slowly turned around and asked, “Did you call someone’s name just

now?”

“No, I just remembered a friend in reality.”

“Okay.” Roland responded unconcernedly and kept walking. Watson asked, “Mr. Roland, how did you know about me?”

“Like I just friend, a Mage friend told me. I’m not very close to him, but he’s from O’Neal’s group,” said Roland casually.

Oh!

Watson heaved a sigh. She too found that Roland was unlikely to be Huang Wenwei.

After all, Roland was the strongest Mage in the game who had mastered countless resources. He must’ve invested millions on the game in the early phase.

Principal Huang, for example, had bought almost four thousand gold coins for his equipment and his group, but he was merely listed as the tenth strongest Warrior.

Huang Wenwei, in comparison, was just an ordinary young man in a small city who had an unremarkable appearance and familial background. He couldn’t have had so many resources.

Pressing on in the forest, Roland dropped three magic spiders to give him better vision. He then activated a magic barrier and said, “Can you tell me what you found out?”

“Actually, I didn’t find very much.” Narrowing her eyes, Watson thought for a moment and said, “They have a body collection organization in Aiello that pays for the bodies of the professionals, including the players. Some of the new players even voluntarily die a few times and sell bodies to them. One body can be sold for a gold coin. The higher level you are, the more valuable your body will be. The elites are worth two gold coins. This would be a great business for us if we don’t lose so much EXP in high levels.”

Aiello City?

Roland noted it.

“Anything else?”

“When I snuck in, their leader, who was a Warrior named Dwayne Johnson, said, ‘The bosses all want the body of Roland from Delpon. Ask around and see if you can find an Assassin who’s good with poisons.”

Although Roland wasn’t fully convinced by Jin Wenwen, he didn’t think that she had any reason to lie to him.

He considered for a moment and said, “Thank you for your intelligence. I have to express my gratitude. Do you want money, or anything

else?”

“Can I stay with the queen and learn from her for ten days?” Watson asked with glittering eyes. “I’m her admirer.”

“She’s not in Delpon. She’s gone to Fareins.” After a moment of hesitation, Roland said, “But I’ll tell her about that. She’ll probably return to Delpon in two to three months. You can come again by then.” “Thank you very much, Mr. Roland!”

“You’re welcome!”

Roland summoned a cloud and asked, “I’m going to Aiello. What’s your plan? If you’re going somewhere else, I can give you a ride.” “No, thanks.” Watson looked at the cloud with fear on her face.

Roland found her reaction rather strange, but he realized that she was probably afraid of heights. No wonder she would rather not be a Mage.

After all, most Mages traveled with flying spells. Few of them could teleport here and there like Roland.

Roland stepped on the cloud and quickly rose to the sky.
