Bard had always had a feeling that the Golden Sons would cause big trouble sooner or later. Now, his prediction had come true.
Now that his prediction had come true, these things had already stirred up big trouble. They had killed two mayors in less than three months, but because they abided by certain rules, they didn't attract the attention of the nobles in Hollevin even though they caused a stir.
Bard once talked to his father about it, but his father wasn't interested at all and even laughed at him for overthinking.
Was he really overthinking?
Looking at the two official Mages before him, Bard was more and more convinced that his idea was correct, and his father might be old.
He had lost his keen judgment.
The two Player Mages sized Bard up, and Bard sized them up as well.
They looked at each other in silence for a while, and Roland came out of the Magic Tower.
He saw Bard and the team of about twenty people behind Bard. He walked to him and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, Mr. Bard."
Bard also smiled. "It has indeed been a long time. This time, I've brought you a reward from the headquarters. "
Roland was briefly stunned. He thought that Bard had brought some conditions and requirements from the headquarters. After all, according to Aldo, the headquarters of Hollevin's Association of Mages was domineering, unreasonable, and even greedy. Although Bard passed the "new magic" certification last time and said that he would bring a reward before he left, Roland didn't take it seriously.
If what Aldo said was true, then his reward would probably be swallowed, and he would only get a false reputation at most.
But now, Bard had really brought a team over.
"Thank you for bringing it all the way here." Roland naturally welcomed someone who came with good intentions with a smile. "Let's have a chat in my study."
"There's no rush. We can catch up later." Bard pointed at the team behind him and said, "You can count the rewards from the headquarters."
At this point, Bard continued, "This is the regulation. You'll have to sign it later."
Roland was stunned for a moment, then he nodded.
Bard waved his hand, and the servants behind him immediately carried heavy black wooden boxes over.
The first box was opened, and Bard said, "A hundred gold coins."
Roland was stunned again.
The bright golden light flowed under the sunlight, so bright that people could hardly open their eyes. The two Mage players in the distance took a deep breath. "Wow, that's about 1.6 million yuan."
Both of them looked extremely envious.
Roland looked at Bard. "Isn't it too much? If I remember correctly, it should only be fifty gold coins. "
"After I returned, the evaluation team from the headquarters re-evaluated your magic. They all agreed that it was an Epic-level modification. The learning difficulty of a level-zero spell and the cost of a level-one spell are the effects of a top-tier level-two spell, "Bard said solemnly." I think so too, so the reward is doubled. "
When Bard said this, he slightly emphasized the words "after I go back."
He immediately understood what was going on. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bard."
Bard smiled happily when he saw that Roland understood. He continued to beckon with his hand, and more than a dozen large boxes were sent over. The boxes were opened one by one, and resources of different colors appeared in front of Roland.
"Magic materials worth about five hundred gold coins," Bard continued. "This is not for the Magic Tower, but for you."
Roland raised his eyebrows.
Magic materials were very expensive.
But for non-Magic-class people, many people always felt that they were not worth the price. Magic grass, roadside stones, these things, as long as they were stained with the word magic, their value would multiply. It was unreasonable, so they desperately lowered the price of these things.
But for Mages, magic materials were more important than gold coins.
So, on many occasions, the price of magic materials fluctuated quite a lot.
But no matter how fluctuated, this batch of magic materials was indeed not a small amount.
Roland nodded. "I understand. I still have to thank you, Mr. Bard. "
Bard continued smiling. "You're too kind. Next is the appointment from the headquarters. You will be the chairman of the Magic Tower in Delpon, and Aldo will immediately return to the capital to report and await the appointment. "
Hearing this, Roland frowned slightly.
He heard a hint of malice in this order, which was called provocation.
Seeing Roland's expression, Bard stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I object to this order, but my personal power is really limited, and I can't change anything. The person who gave this order is Coors of the Aristotle family. He's very proud. "
Roland was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Bard's sincere eyes and nodded slightly.
"The reward is here." Seeing that Roland was not angry, Bard was greatly reassured. He waved his hand and asked his deputy to come forward. He said, "Please take a look at the list of resources and sign your name."
Roland took it, glanced at it, and then casually glanced at the dozen or so big boxes. Feeling that the number was about right, he signed his name on it.
It was written in the Chinese language.
Bard accepted it. Looking at the exotic hieroglyphs, he was slightly stunned, then he said with a smile, "Okay, business is done. Now, Mr. Roland, as the host, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
"No problem."
Roland waved his hand, and a dozen magic apprentices ran out of the Magic Tower and picked up the big boxes on the ground. Roland, on the other hand, returned to Roland's manor with Bard and his team.
Standing outside the manor, Bard was slightly surprised. "I remember this is Aldo's manor, right? What's going on?"
"Settle your men down first. I'll talk to them in the study later." Roland waved his hand, and the old butler ran out and took care of Bard's team.
Several minutes later, the two of them sat in the study.
Roland told Bard about Aldo's departure and then said, "By the time I learned of it, Chairman Aldo had already disappeared without a trace."
Bard was slightly surprised, but then he sighed. "That's reasonable. If I were Aldo, I would've left a long time ago."
"You also think that Aldo was treated unfairly? Why didn't you try to help him? "
Bard thought for a moment and said, "Let me put it this way. Aldo is worthless. He's too cowardly and doesn't dare to use his identity as a Mage to fight for the benefits he deserves. Most importantly, his strength is limited. Besides, I'm a member of the nobility myself. I'm not familiar with him, and I can't go against my friends and acquaintances for a stranger, right? "
Roland looked into Bard's eyes. "Then why do you think I'm worth this? Are you willing to help me fight for benefits? "
Bard sat up straight. "Because I see the potential in you. Apart from anything else, I admire you just for killing John Senior. I'm willing to be friends with you, even if I don't get any benefits, at least … I won't end up like John Senior, who might accidentally lose his life. "
Looking at Bard's serious expression, Roland didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, killing someone wasn't honorable.
Bard, on the other hand, continued, "Now, the number of Golden Sons in the capital is gradually increasing, and we also discovered that there's an indestructible statue of you outside the city, like a statue of a god. What's going on? I'm very curious, can you tell me about it? "
