Chapter 743 - Test of Magic Power Transformation (1/2)
“I know who’s been conspiring with the liches against you.”
They were in a noisy place that was full of people, but Roland heard that loud and clear.
It had been half a year since Roland started investigating the cooperation between liches and players. Finally, he got something.
He said, “Let’s go to my manor and talk about it.”
After returning to his manor, Roland asked Beatrice to entertain the guest with cakes. Then he asked, “You’ve figured out who they
are?”
“By accident,” Solisa said, enjoying the cakes. “It’s rather dramatic with a lot of twists and turns. To protect myself in reality, I cannot tell you how I found them out.”
Roland nodded. “I understand.”
“Here’s a list of their names.” Solisa pushed a piece of paper to Roland. “A lot of people are involved. Do what you must, but I won’t be a part of it.”
Roland’s eyebrows shivered. “Is it tricky?”
“A little bit,” said Solisa helplessly. “It won’t be appropriate for me and my guild to be involved.”
Roland put five bags of gold coins on the table.
“Thanks.”
Then, Solisa left.
Opening the piece of paper, Roland heaved a sigh. “Some of them are famous streamers, some are famous rich players, and some are just total strangers. Am I really so annoying?”
In fact, Roland wasn’t annoying because he was Roland, but because he was the best in the entire server.
The highest ranked in any game would always be plotted against.
It had nothing to do with morals but was pure jealousy and instinctive competitiveness.
Then, Roland put on a smile. “At least, none of them is a friend. That’s good news.”
After that, he put away the piece of paper.
He believed seventy percent of the message that Solisa delivered.
Of the thirty percent of distrust, ten percent was because of his usual cautiousness, and twenty percent was because he wanted to find out if any of the people on the list were actually innocent.
He went to the Guild of Assassins and hired them to investigate the strong ones on the list.
He asked them to investigate the targets without trying to kill them.
As long as they didn’t try to kill the targets, their names wouldn’t turn red, and the players wouldn’t overreact.
Although many awesome Rogues had emerged among the players too, they had only been at that for five years; they couldn’t compare to the real elites in the Guild of Assassins.
Then, Roland pretended that nothing happened and returned to his manor in Delpon to study Mage’s Disjunction
The spell was so challenging that even Roland felt a strong headache, because the causal magic that he was least good at was involved.
He spent a week on Mage’s Disjunction but made little progress.
On the other hand, he was very popular in the new base.
The people of all departments were very friendly to him and invited him to visit their department.
So, Roland visited different departments as they wished.
He knew his way in the base much better.
What he did most was cast Language Proficiency on the researchers.
As his abilities were gradually increased in reality, he was able to cast Language Proficiency and make it last five hours in reality.
Therefore, he became the most valuable asset in all departments. All the researchers loved reading the latest papers.
Also, they had access to certain special documents that the state government got for them.
Some of the documents were in French, some in German, and some in English.
Although most researchers knew at least one second language, there was nothing they could do when they met a language they didn’t know.
They were often too eager to wait for someone else to translate.
Roland accidentally found that the researchers who worked on energy transfer were stuck on an English document.
Many of the words in the document were new and incomprehensible without notes.
It wasn’t anything new that a researcher in a specific field couldn’t understand a paper in another field.
Some of the latest files contained a lot of new words that even the professional translators couldn’t understand.
Roland was having tea and chatting with a few young men, who promised to design an Iron Man’s suit for him as long as he could power it.
He saw that a few middle-aged researchers were stuck on the paper and subconsciously cast Language Proficiency.
Those people were all shocked. They immediately translated all the files into Chinese and printed them out on A4 paper while the spell was still effective.
The 37 pages of English files were translated into 13 pages in Chinese, whose information and data turned out to be 100% accurate.
After that, Roland became a treasure in the base.
The researchers didn’t want to study him anymore. They simply asked him to cast Language Proficiency in their lab and then kicked him away.
They seemed rather ruthless. But in fact, every department in the base seized the opportunity to retranslate important files in other languages.
They found many errors and corrected a lot of things that didn’t make much sense due to poor translations.
After all, a technological blockade had been imposed for a long time. Some of the key parts in a lot of files were confusing due to the new words and bad translations.
Now that Language Proficiency was massively available, things were much easier.
Then, a movement to improve the accuracy of foreign files was initiated in the base.
A lot of projects that hit a dead end met new progress.
Then, a meeting of the leadership was held.
“Roland is much more useful than we imagined. He’s not just a strategic weapon and an experiment subject. We can give him an appropriate job so that he can be one of the researchers too.”
“I agree.”
