Chapter 746 - The Holy Realm is a Place That Anyone Can Go (1/2)

Mage’s Disjunction involved causality, which made it very hard for Roland.

Causality, as a subject, fell in the category of philosophy on Earth. Roland wasn’t very good at that.

Someone said that the only two things that could change the way people thought were math and philosophy.

Roland knew the basics of philosophy, but not really very much.

He had tried reading books on philosophy, but he couldn’t persist and would feel dizzy when he read on.

He had also tried reading philosophical content in reality, but he never learned much.

Some people weren’t cut out for philosophical studies, which was normal.

Therefore, it took him a long time to study Mage’s Disjunction.

After more than a month, he finally got the hang of it.

However, it was still unstable.

He couldn’t carry out the effect of “destroying magic equipment” every time. His success rate was only about 60% when he tried to destroy mid-level and low-level magic equipment. The rate would’ve been much lower if he had tried epic magic equipment.

But Roland didn’t want to run tests with epic equipment.

He might as well wait until such equipment was all over the street.

But that was highly unlikely.

Roland felt uncomfortable when the odds of destroying mid- and low-level magic equipment weren’t 100%.

Should he go to the Goddess of Magic?

He would rather pass. He had just declined her request for the “nuclear explosion” spell not long ago. He was too proud to ask for her teachings right after that.

Therefore, Roland went to the Red Magic Tower to meet Elder Alfred.

It had been a year since they last met, and Alfred looked even older.

He had been stuck as a Legend for a long time, and his two hundred years of life were coming to an end.

It was also the reason why he wanted to raise an heir for his Magic Tower and Fareins.

“Roland, it’s been a long time.” Alfred looked at his student in comfort. “I didn’t expect you to become a Legend so quickly. It seems that you will surely turn into a Demigod if everything goes well.”

“I couldn’t have done that without the teaching of you and other mentors in the tower.”

“Hahahaha!” Hearing Roland’s reply, Alfred laughed even more happily.

He had given Roland all those privileges and resources exactly because he hoped that Roland would feel like he belonged to the Magic Tower and Fareins.

Also, he had learned that Roland stayed in the royal palace of Fareins for the night at least twice.

When there was a sexual relationship between a man and a woman, he tended to care for her.

So, the Fareins Kingdom would be protected by a strong expert who was likely a Demigod.

It could develop in peace for another five hundred years, which was about as long as most Demigods could live.

If they had the bloodline of long-life species, they could easily live one to two thousand years.

Recently, Roland had sent in a lot of tricks on small spells, such as Multiple Hands of Magic, Field of Ice, and other spells he improved.

The collection of the Red Magic Tower was significantly expanded.

His efforts had been repaid far beyond his expectations.

“Tell me why you’re here,” said Alfred. “According to your habit, you should be studying magic in your manor right now.”

Roland nodded. “I’m here to ask for your help. When I practiced Mage’s Disjunction, something was always confusing to me. I want to ask if the professors in the Magic Tower have any experience with Mage’s Disjunction, or if you can introduce me to anyone who knows it.”

“Have you grasped Mystra’s Mansion?”

“Yes.” Roland nodded.

“That’s good. It’s the best spell of escape and the first spell that any Legend should learn.” Alfred looked at his student in satisfaction. “Where are you stuck in the practice of Mage’s Disjunction? Although I can’t grasp it due to my lack of talent in space and causality, and I can only light some fireballs, I still know the basic theories.”

It was like how a gourmet could taste and enjoy food without having to know how to cook it.

Roland said, “I’m already capable of casting Mage’s Disjunction, but the odds of success aren’t very high.”

“You’re already capable of casting Mage’s Disjunction?” After a brief shock, Alfred asked, “Are the odds of success very low? How many times can you succeed when you cast it on low-level magic equipment a hundred times? This is very natural for a new Legend. Your success rate will get higher as you grow stronger as a Legend.” “It’s about sixty percent,” said Roland casually. After a brief silence, Alfred said, “I beg your pardon?”

“It’s sixty percent,” repeated Roland.

Taking a deep breath, Alfred smacked the table three times and roared, “Brat, are you here to piss me off, or just to show off in front of me?”

Huh? Roland was slightly surprised.

Alfred said helplessly, “Do you know the success rate of Mage’s Disjunction when the Great Elder of the Spatial Magic Tower, whom you already killed, just learned it?”

“More than eighty percent?” “Only twenty percent!” Roland was stunned. “So low?”

“What do you think?” Alfred chuckled. He had always found Roland agreeable, but at this moment, he was of a mind to yell at him as a senior. However, he gave up the idea after second thought. “Mage’s Disjunction is a top spell in the first place. It’s already impressive enough that a new Legend can learn it. Most people only have a success rate of about twenty percent, and yours is sixty percent. What more do you want? If you want to improve the success rate, you have to improve your strength.”

Okay… Roland got it.

The success rate of Mage’s Disjunction destroying magic equipment depended on not just his magic power capacity but also his level.

Looking at Roland who was greatly enlightened, Alfred continued, “Although I can’t be of any help, something can. When we looted the Spatial Magic Tower’s library, we found several journals on magic that its Great Elder left. One of the journals recorded his understanding of Mage’s Disjunction. It’s kept in the top level of our library. Now that you are a Legend, you’re free to borrow or even copy it.”

“Got it. Thank you, Great Elder.”

Alfred said with a smile, “Come here more often when you have time. This place is always at your back as your second home.”

Roland was slightly moved.

He had to admit that Alfred had been really nice to him since he came to the Red Magic Tower.

“I will. Can I work as a teacher here in a couple of years?”

“No problem at all.” Alfred smiled. “You’re more than welcome. We can even name you an honorary elder.”

After leaving the Great Elder’s chamber, Roland went to the library.
