Chapter 1411 - An Unexpected Package (2/2)

Roland heard a chuckle from behind.

“Eh… did you hear what she said?”

“No.” Nightingale smirked. “But I can guess.”

“Really? Spit it out.”

She raised five fingers.

“That many?” Roland was shocked.

“Who asked her to have the identity of a princess. That’s already a discounted price.”

“Alright, it’s a deal.”

Nightingale licked her lips. “That Aerial Knight truly has talent, but your praise for him was over the top. Out of all the Aerial Knights, isn’t it obvious who is the most talented and outstanding? You seem to be treating people who have the ability to accomplish things as a norm, but not so much for this matter.” At this point, Nightingale paused. “After all, talent isn’t something we get to choose, right?”

…

That’s right, being capable is sort of a talent as well…

Roland sat by the window in Rose Café and watched blankly at the pedestrians walking along the road.

Although having talent puts someone at a higher starting point, but to completely exhibit that talent requires a large amount of effort. I seem to have overlooked this recently.

“Hey, what’re you dazing out for?”

Roland retracted his gaze and saw Valkries holding onto two cups of coffee as she sat opposite him.

“I’m thinking about how to reach the Bottomless Land as soon as possible.” He threw out the complicated thoughts in his mind and went through the air raid on the Deity of Gods once. “Is this magic barrier capable of covering the entire region related to the ability of some Senior Demon? Or is it a newly researched technique?”

“If I’m you, I’ll stop using the label of demons on us.” Valkries retorted, “My race’s specific abilities depends on what magic stone we receive, selecting a barrier magic stone just depends on the right compatibility and having a high attainment in using it. It doesn’t really relate to our ability of wielding it. For example, I did not merge with such a magic stone. Aside from that, it is impossible for a magic stone to encompass the entire Birth Tower, it should be the result of Mask’s research.”

“What’s that?”

Valkries drank a mouthful of coffee. “By using a core apparatus to simulate the cyclone structure of the magic stone and amplify its result substantially. This idea came about a long time ago, but there were many restrictions on it. I never imagined that Mask would succeed.”

This means that the barrier on the Deity of Gods and the magic barrier on their bodies are essentially the same. Roland silently noted. At least it proves that the assumption proposed by the General Staff is feasible.

“Is the development of Symbiotic Demons also from Mask?”

“Yes, in some sense, he is very similar to Transformer Heathtalese. He has never utilized any offensive type magic stones.” Valkries nodded. “Considering that the Symbiotic Demons aren’t ideal at dealing with the Sky-sea Realm, it is only logical that the King sent them here.”

After chatting about the situation, Nightmare Lord stood up and left.

After sending her to the door, Roland suddenly voiced out. “Thanks.”

She stopped abruptly.

“Hackzord hasn’t appeared in the two battles. I think that he believes in the content written in the letter. If he was present, I’m afraid that the First Army would had suffered more losses. Just for this, I should be thanking you.”

“Don’t forget that I’m not helping you, but my race.” Valkries turned back and replied. “The best repayment will be the honoring of your promise. I don’t need any gratitude aside from that.”

She left and disappeared into the crowd.

Roland returned to the cafe when his phone suddenly rang.

It was a message mentioning a delivery.

This puzzled him—he had not purchased anything online recently.

Even so, he returned to the apartment and opened the delivery box to retrieve the package sent to him.

The package was half an arm broad and felt weightless, completely inconsistent with the paper box’s size.

After inspecting and verifying that the package was for him, he brought it into his bedroom and opened up the package.

The moment the box was opened, he froze.

Inside the package was a frozen astrolabe.
