“It can go up to five meters in diameter, use the knob on the side if you wish to lower the area of effect, it will lower the er”

“So we can narrow the checkpoint size and save us some money, you have outdone yourself Mr Wayland Mary, have these placed at the uard captains as we have discussed before”

“Yes, Lord Arthur”

They were out in the courtyard with the usual two knights watching over the city lord It seemed that they used the week to prepare a proper plan Roland wouldn't be surprised if Arthur had already contacted the church and gotten theree to help out

“Mr Wayland, you will be rewarded handsomely for your efforts, but I think you should rest now”

Even though Roland didn’t infory eyes andmade him seem like someone that didn’t rest for a week or more

“Thank you, my Lord, I will excuse myself, please contact reed-upon price”

Arthur nodded while Roland quickly wobbled out of the estate to head hoo, only noas he truly free to continue with his life There was onethat he needed to take care of before returning ho outside

“Are you done?”

“Yes, here”

Fro, he re it over to Lobelia he was done for now

“So this is it? Doesn’t look like et to bring me the money later”

“He he, I bet those old bastards will pay whatever I propose”

“Don’t go overboard”

“Are you worrying about me? That’s cute~”

“I’m more worried about Elodia, if she finds you in a ditch with a dagger in the back she will be devastated”

“Were you always this melodramatic? Don’t worry, it’ll be fine, they will probably want more of these if they work and I’m the only one that can contact the supplier!”

Lobelia chuckled at Roland who had becouild He had decided to push the iteround to check for any people that could be afflicted Apparently, during this week a few more people were discovered and quickly treated thanks to Lobelia that spread the infor to eradicate any potential cultist lairs frouild was needed They were used to looking for hidden passages, in theory, they should be able to find any hidden tunnels or at least keep the infected fro

For that, they first needed to examine all of the uild entrances With time they should be able to identify the source and hopefully take care of it without anyone fro affected

“Remember, the fewer people know about this the better, you can’t alert the cultists or they ht activate the parasites”

“I know, don’t worry, I’e”

Lobelia s a pose He couldn’t really do uilds and he had no interest in e the topic then, how is your friend?”

“Jasper is doing fine”

“He is?”

The half-elf blurred out the news as if it was nothing

“Were there any side effects? Memory loss? Blindness?”

Roland on the other hand was very interested in this scoop and started throwing questions at the sirl

“Woah, calm down Wayland He is fine but he couldn’t remember the past few hours”

After a quick back and forth he finally received soood news It was possible to make a full recovery fro activated This confirmed his theory that these creatures remained dormant and waited for some kind of activation sequence Their only defensivetheir host uncoy

“There is oneyou asked uild received so with those weirdos has become a desolate wasteland!”

“A wasteland?”

“Yes, some sort of spell was used and everyone had to evacuate but It didn’t reach the city No one can investigate further, the religious nuts are keeping everyone fro in”

It seeer zone Some kind of spell had been used to probably destroy any leftover evidence If the old ot out in time was unknown to anyone

“Can I ask you for one more favor?”

“Hm, what is it?”

Lobelia looked a bit pouty as he asked for it but this was quickly remedied by his next sentence

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay you, I need soet it”

“That I do!”

“I need you to get me information about two people…”

Roland didn’t want to remain in the dark, he needed to know if inforolden order paladins he ran in were safe and sound, then he could relax Yet if they were founddrastic e he still needed to get stronger One part was the new divine runes that he orking on but that see-term investment Another research topic were the spatial runes that he was still trying to figure out If he could integrate storage technology into his ar heavy areon and his secret training spot that he needed to visit

“Golden order h places?”

“Can you do it or not?”

“Sure thing but it ht cost extra!”

Roland nodded as the two finally parted, even though he had the freedoet stronger and the fastest way for that was to gain more levels
