Chapter 734 - Negotiations with a God (1/2)
All intelligent creatures loved watching drama.
Drama could broaden their eyes and allow them to show off in front of their friends, which was great! The players, with their exuberant curiosity, were listed as the greatest drama lovers in the game five years in a row. That couldn’t be helped. According to sociologists’ research, the smarter a creature was, the more curious they tended to be and the more likely they would gather for drama.
The rule applied to other animals too. The intelligent creatures, such as dolphins, orcas, and almost all the primates, were generally curious.
Wetland City was a base and almost a “main city” to the players, who took up half of the population in the city.
So, whenever anything interesting happened in the city, a lot of players would be there to watch it.
Roland was a curious man too, or he couldn’t have qualified as a Mage.
He wasn’t interested in regular citizen conflicts, but since so many players had gathered, it was bound to be something that rarely happened.
So, he tossed a magic spider, which crawled on other players’ clothes and moved to the inner circle.
He was stunned when the magic spider sent him an image.
As it turned out, the players were watching the queen and Nia, who were confronting the True Ancestor of vampires.
As a Hero, Andonara was quite sensitive to evil auras. The True Ancestor’s aura was very similar to Christina’s, so when she saw the True Ancestor, she guessed who the True Ancestor was.
Roland had told her about the True Ancestor, especially how he fought the True Ancestor for days under the Nether God’s watch. She was quite angry to learn of that.
As for Nia, she was almost manifesting her weapon with magic power.
They hadn’t started fighting yet simply because this was the territory of the Golden Sons and the lord of this place was Roland’s good friend.
“Why are they still not fighting?”
“Isn’t she the queen?” “The other girl seems to be an angel, but why does she not have wings?”
“Start fighting already. I love watching women fight the most, especially gorgeous women.”
The players whispered to each other.
Roland squeezed through the crowd with Hand of Magic and walked in.
The players got even more excited when they saw Roland.
“Oh, Roland is here.”
“They’re indeed the queen and the angel. Who’s that pretty little girl? Did anything happen between her and Roland?”
“I think I have to report Roland for laying his hands on immature girls.” “I think you can.”
“You’re just being jealous. If I remember correctly, she must be the True Ancestor of vampires. I remember her from Roland’s livestream.”
“I didn’t watch that stream.”
“She’s indeed the True Ancestor. Petite and flat-she’s my favorite type. Also, she’s probably more than a thousand years old. It’s useless even if you report him.”
“We’re just talking about appearance. Isn’t Roland molesting a little girl?”
While the players jokingly discussed, Roland walked to Andonara and Nia.
The moment Andonara saw Roland, she ignored the True Ancestor of vampires and ran to Roland, before she said in delight, “Sweetheart, why are you here?” “For business,” Roland replied. Then, he stared at the True Ancestor and said coldly, “How bold of you to come to the Golden Sons’ territory.”
The True Ancestor had fully recovered her strength, so she was fearless at this moment. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be attacked in the Golden Sons’ city as long as you don’t cause trouble? That’s a rule that the lord of this city set up. I don’t think you’ll go back on your word.”
Roland frowned.
The True Ancestor raised her head and continued proudly, “Besides, Ms. Nether God has already washed away my sins for me. Perform an alignment test on me if you don’t believe it.”
Hardly had she said that when a glimmering golden circle covered the True Ancestor.
There was indeed nothing but green over her head.
Roland was quite frustrated by that.
To be a good buy meant to be bound by rules.
For example, he couldn’t attack righteous men randomly; he had to take many things in consideration. If he started a fight here, the Wetland City that Betta had built with so much effort would be greatly affected.
More importantly, killing someone Lawful would likely change his own alignment.
Seeing that Roland was silent, the True Ancestor walked away with her head held high.
Andonara and Nia were of a mind to chase her, but seeing that Roland didn’t move, they lost their desire to fight too.
After the True Ancestor left the scene, Roland took Andonara and Nia to a corner and whispered something to them. Then, they both walked away with a smile.
Roland, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to go to the Wind Hermit Guild.
That guild was fairly easy to find. After all, it was quite famous.
Hardly had Roland arrived when a player rushed to Roland and said in delight, “You’re finally here, Master Roland. Let’s talk inside. We’re all waiting for you.”
“Talk about what?” Roland followed the man. “Also, what’s your name, bro?”
As the best Mage in the game, Roland uploaded few videos, but every time he streamed, someone would record it and spread it.
So, few people in the game didn’t recognize Roland.
It was not strange that this guy knew his name.
The player who led the way turned his head and said, “You may call me Arman.”
“Then Arman, what’s the deadline for your
quest?’”
“Ten days from today.” Arman said with a smile, “Our boss Barbion is waiting for you inside.” Walking through a long corridor behind the guy, Roland reached a hall built in the classic style of Hangzhou architecture.
He could see through the opened door that many people were discussing around a table. Those who didn’t have a seat stood back and listened attentively, while proposing their opinions now and then.
The man who sat in the host’s seat was an average-looking man.
Most players preferred capabilities to Charm.
The players of the physical classes focused on Strength and Agility, and those who played with spells focused on Intelligence and Resolve.
It went without saying that Warlocks mainly added points to Charm.
Seeing Roland, the player who sat in the host’s seat jumped to his feet and rushed over, before he grabbed Roland’s hands and shook them quickly. “You’re finally here, Master Roland. None of them believed that you would come. They’re forcing me to calculate the strength of every Mage in the dungeon and the spells they’re good at.”
Roland was rather surprised. “Is it even calculable?”
“Of course not. That’s why we need a powerful Mage.”
The man dropped Roland’s hands and shouted at the players proudly, “Do you see this? I’ve invited Roland here! I didn’t trick you, did I?”
Then, someone in the crowd shouted, “Chairman, you’re awesome! You really got him here!”
Many people smiled upon seeing Roland.
