After the team configuration was settled, the members of Silver Wings were relieved.
Although the players had been in the game for more than half a year, the path of leveling up for most of them had been bumpy.
If they wanted to level up quickly, they had to complete quests.
Some minor quests were easy to complete, but they gave very little experience. And the quests above blue were often beyond their capabilities. Once they died, most of the quests they got would fail, such as escort and protection quests. The NPCs would be killed, and it would be impossible to get the same quests again.
Most dungeon quests would disappear after they failed.
Most importantly, players would lose ten percent of their total experience when they died, which made it even slower for many lousy players to level up.
They didn't feel anything before level five, but after level five, if they died once, half a month of hard work would be wasted, and if their current experience was too little, they would even drop levels.
Based on this trend, if they died after level ten, it was estimated that half a year of hard work would be for nothing.
So after level five, the players would try to avoid death as much as possible.
Not all players were good at fighting, and there were a lot of players who liked scenery and life skills.
Now, guilds of players who liked life skills had been established on the forum, such as the Drugging and Cooking Exchange Guild, the Psychic Fishing and Hunting Guild, the Decisive Blacksmithing Guild, and so on.
This further lowered the average level of the players.
People had different ideologies. Some people liked to fight and enjoy a life of adventure, and naturally, some liked the fun of life.
Also, these life players had their own ideas: If I practice cooking, carving, forging, and other life skills in the game, I can also use them in reality.
If I open a small restaurant and work as a chef, a lot of people in the foodie country would be willing to come to taste it, and I could easily make a hundred thousand a month.
Needless to say, as long as the craftsmanship was good enough, a fine carving would be expensive.
As for forging … Nowadays, authentic handmade swords were extremely expensive, but forging was a bit of a hassle.
As for you combat players … So what if you're good at martial arts?
Do you want to go to the police and get a platinum bracelet with two holes for free?
For various reasons, the players who could reach level five now accounted for about three percent of the players.
Birds of a feather flocked together.
High-level players generally came into contact with mostly high-level players.
Therefore, Roland had a feeling that there were a lot of players who were level five like him.
However, in reality, there weren't many of them. Every Guild only had a few members. After all, there were also some strong Lone Wolves. Not everyone was willing to join a Guild.
As a result, the majority of Guilds were severely lacking in high-end combatants.
Silver Wings was considered lucky. They could gather at least five.
The other guilds would be lucky to have one or two of them.
F6 was an exception. Everyone was level five, at the top of the pyramid.
Roland chatted with them for a while. After confirming the time of departure, he was about to leave, when Hawk suddenly said, "Roland, we have a few friends in our guild who want to advance to Great Swordsman. What are the requirements? What's the fee?"
"You'll have to ask the queen yourself."
Hawk said in surprise, "Isn't the queen your woman? Can't you speak up for us? Let's not talk about the tuition fee, at least let us see her. "
Until now, Silver Wings had not been officially established in the game.
The NPC in charge of guild registration in the Holy Realm was too difficult to deal with. He was so arrogant that most people simply ignored him.
Even with Schuck's help, he still made three rather troublesome requests. Some people in Silver Wings were now trying to find ways to meet his demands, but it felt like the official establishment of the guild was coming soon.
Because of this, most players knew that the high nobles were very particular about ostentation and decency. If you weren't famous and didn't have enough prestige, the other party wouldn't even bother to talk to you.
This kind of experience, when facing the Queen, subconsciously came into effect.
They always felt that a person of such noble status and a high-level Great Swordsman like the queen wouldn't like to see people.
But fortunately, they could find someone to pass the message.
So Hawk went to Roland.
"The queen and I are innocent," Roland said sternly. "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander."
Hawk snorted and shrugged, his face full of disdain.
Link also had a smile on his face.
Well, these people didn't believe it.
In fact, Roland himself felt that he wouldn't believe it either if he were in their shoes.
Forget it, he couldn't be bothered to reason with them. Roland thought for a moment and said, "I've already posted on the forum and talked to Andonara about it. If you really want to change professions, go to her yourself. Of course, it's her own decision whether she's willing to teach or not, it really has nothing to do with me."
"Help me pass the message." Hawk patted Roland on the shoulder and begged, "You also know the importance of favors. The same thing may have a completely different result if someone doesn't help."
Roland thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he agreed.
In any case, he was just helping to say a few words, and if Andonara wasn't willing to help, he wouldn't say anything more.
Hawk was quite happy to get Roland's agreement. He patted Roland on the shoulder a few times. "Brother, I'll remember this favor."
Roland just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Verbal promises weren't important; what was important was actions.
They had a good relationship before, but later, Hawk and Link squeezed Roland out of the decision-making circle of Delpon because of interests.
Although Roland didn't want to be a behind-the-scenes decision-maker in the first place, quitting and being driven away were two different concepts.
After leaving the dock, the sky was slightly bright, and the city gate happened to be open. Roland entered the city with the traveling merchants outside the gate.
When he returned to the manor, he saw Andonara sitting at the dining table in the living room and smiling sweetly when she saw Roland.
"You're back?"
Roland nodded.
Then, Vivian walked out of the kitchen with a pot of freshly baked bread. She smiled at Roland and said, "You came back just in time. The bread is freshly baked."
Roland sat down and ate his breakfast while talking to Andonara about what Hawk had asked of him.
"Since they're your friends, Roland, I'll teach them well." Andonara nodded and agreed.
"You still have to collect money when you have to."
Andonara blinked and suddenly said with a charming smile, "Then I'll collect money according to my mood. If I like them, I'll collect more, and if I don't, I'll double. How about that?"
After all, as a woman who had spent years in the royal palace, she was quite good at observing people. Just from Roland's words, she could tell that Roland didn't seem too enthusiastic about those people and didn't seem to want to help them.
But because of his pride, he had to come and tell her.
Tsk … Those who pissed off Roland pissed her off.
But she couldn't do anything to them, so she could only collect more money.
After breakfast, Roland wiped his mouth with a rag and said, "I have to go to the Magic Tower to do some magic experiments. You two do whatever you want."
After saying that, Roland left the manor.
The atmosphere in the living room didn't get any worse without Roland's presence.
Andonara finished the rest of the bread and sat next to Vivian. She said, "Let's go shopping together later. I can teach you the most popular clothing combinations in the capital. You can definitely charm Roland."
Vivian nodded with glittering eyes.
And when Roland returned to the Magic Tower, the magic apprentices cheered.
During this time, Roland hadn't been around, so they couldn't find anyone to teach even if they wanted to learn something.
There were also two Golden Son apprentices in the tower. Although they were strong, they weren't very good at teaching, and they didn't even know as much about magic as ordinary apprentices.
Roland returned to the Magic Tower, but he didn't have time to start magic experiments right away.
Instead, he answered the magic apprentices' academic magic questions that had accumulated for nearly a month.
For two whole days.
Only at night could he find some time to do some small experiments.
Two days later, Schuck and Betta both arrived.
Schuck didn't fly in on the red dragon, but had Margret change into her human form and then walked in.
The entry of a dragon into the city was itself something that could easily cause panic.
Roland let them rest in the manor for a day, and then the next day, he took them to the docks to meet the people from Silver Wings.
After seeing Schuck, as the second-in-command of Silver Wings and the host, Hawk naturally flattered Schuck for a while.
Margret showed a look of annoyance, but she didn't say anything and behaved very quietly.
Naturally, Schuck flattered him back.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and Hawk took the opportunity to introduce the people on his side, their classes, and abilities.
F6, on the other hand, didn't need much introduction.
Schuck, on the other hand, went straight to the point. "I've read the details of the quest. It means that we have to leave Hollevin, pass through Urganda, and then reach the periphery of the Elf Forest to meet an elf named Ans before we can proceed to the next step of the quest, right?"
Hawk nodded. "That's true."
"You're quite impressive too. You've already extended your tentacles to the Elf Forest!" said Roland with some admiration.
Hawk said with a smile, "There are a lot of adventurers in our guild who like to travel. One of them happened to run to the periphery of the Elf Forest and made some connections with the elves. Then, he accepted the quest and shared it with everyone. Then, he deleted the quest and gave it to us."
"It sounds very far away."
Roland felt a headache. He had been running around and didn't have much time to study magic. He was very unhappy.
"That's right." Hawk said with a bitter smile, "It'll take us at least twenty days on horseback. If we run into bad weather and road conditions, it'll take at least a month."
Everybody shook their heads with a bitter smile.
"The map is too big."
This made Roland even more determined to create a "fast travel" spell.
If only he could take them to the destination quickly and teleport his friends over.
So, the modification of Long-Distance Teleportation had to be put on the agenda. It would be best if he could teleport other people together.
