Roland had always thought that since Rollaford was a merchant, his boss should be a merchant too.
But when he met the man in person, Roland realized that he had made an empirical mistake.
The man was a Wanderer. Some of the players were plain, and some were beautiful, but all of them had blond hair and blue eyes. The man was rather good-looking. He must've added Charm to his face. He extended his hand with a smile. "Roland, I'm so lucky to meet you here."
It had been more than half a year since the game started. Most people had discovered the benefits of Charm. Even if they only added a couple of growth points, they would still have hidden advantages when they interacted with NPCs, even if they didn't have the corresponding specialties or skills.
For example, it would be easier for them to bargain, leave a better first impression, or even flirt with girls or guys. There would be fewer obstacles in social interaction, and there might even be opportunities out of nowhere.
Even though the Players knew that beautiful looks were mostly added, they would subconsciously concede or be more tolerant when they saw the other party's handsome or beautiful face in the game.
Roland smiled and said, "Hello, and you are?"
"You can call me Kennedy."
"Your name is a bit …" Roland gasped. Those idiotic netizens were truly messing around.
Kennedy laughed and said, "It's just a regular western name. Please don't think too much of it."
Fine. I won't think too much of it!
At this moment, Rollaford, who was standing nearby, said, "Our deputy chairman is Lincoln, our minister of foreign affairs is McKinley, and our executive minister is Garfield."
Roland was even more lost for words.
Kennedy shook Roland's hand and smiled delightedly, if not proudly.
Those four names represented the same fates in history. It was rare for them to come up with such names.
Looking at Roland's constipated face, Kennedy said delightedly, "That's exactly how you feel. We've told a lot of people our names, but only one-third of our friends know that they're big shots' names, and only one-fifth of our friends know what they mean."
Roland didn't know how to get along with those idiotic netizens, because he wasn't an idiot. After a brief silence, Roland said, "Let's talk about the quest."
Kennedy was stunned for a moment, and then revealed a disappointed expression. "It's rare to find someone who can understand our names, but you're too boring. Can't you just flatter me a little?"
"You're so awesome!" Roland clapped his hands with a dead-fish-eyed expression and said, "Okay, you can start sharing the quest now."
People who knew the source of the joke but were unwilling to cooperate were too annoying. Kennedy sighed helplessly and led Lauren into his house.
It was a two-story building in a medium-sized residential area.
The second floor was a library. The entire floor was filled with books. There were more than 50 bookshelves filled with books that looked very old.
Moreover, there was a slight stench of mud and dust in the air.
In the northeast corner of the floor, there was a desk.
There were many books on the table, and in the middle of the table, there was an open painting.
Kennedy led Lauren to the desk and shared the mission with Lauren.
Accepted Mission: Translate Ancient Characters (Excellent)
Roland activated Language Proficiency on Kennedy and said, "Take a look for yourself."
Kennedy eagerly looked at the painting on the table.
Roland looked at it too.
It was not so much a painting as a hieroglyph that looked like a painting.
At first glance, the words seemed to be elvish, but then Roland denied that, because the elvish language was elegant and beautiful, but this kind of words was crude and primitive, with the smell of mud. They were unpretentious and not pretentious at all. They were definitely not seductive and pretty like the elvish language.
Thanks to Language Proficiency, Roland understood the meaning of the words.
"We're retreating. Our brothers and sisters who monopolized Mother's love are driving us away from Mother with their delicate weapons. It's not fair. Why can they be so beautiful and smart? Mother is too biased. "
That was all it said out of the blue.
However, Roland suddenly noticed that Kennedy suddenly shivered.
First, his face turned red. Then, he threw his head back and laughed. His voice reverberated in the air, as if it could shatter the wooden building.
"As I expected, the trolls and the elves are indeed of the same origin. They're both the children of the World Tree. This is the proof!"
"This is the proof!"
While laughing, Kennedy waved his hands and feet as if nobody else were around.
Roland shook his head helplessly and left the building.
Rollaford saw him off and said, "I'm sorry, but that's just how our boss is. In reality, he's just a civil servant who just graduated from the archaeology department. He's always wanted to do his job, but it's too hard to find a job in archaeology, so he became a civil servant to survive. But essentially, he still considers himself an archaeologist, and this game fulfills his dream. So, he's very excited when he finds something. "
Roland nodded to show that he understood.
It was the same for him. He stayed in the Magic Tower every day to study magic, and he would laugh to himself when he discovered a new magic theory.
Zhang Kui was not qualified to mock Zhang Fei. They were both ugly.
Then, Rollaford gave Roland a gold coin that he promised earlier.
After expressing his gratitude, Roland left the place.
Walking on the street, Roland opened the system menu.
"Quest accomplished: Translate the Primeval Language. EXP + 214."
It was already a lot of EXP for a blue quest, but it only increased Roland's EXP bar by a little bit.
Starting from level five, the EXP required for leveling up had increased significantly. A few hundred points of EXP was nothing to him.
Leaving aside the experts who had become Masters in their forties and fifties, Roland was rather confused about how Andonara had become a Master Swordsman at such a young age when she was only in her twenties.
It didn't make sense. She didn't have a system and couldn't do quests.
Did the Hero bloodline have a special specialty that automatically granted him EXP every day?
He decided to ask Andonara about it later.
Then, Roland took out the black gem that he had traded from the system Backpack and examined it under the sunlight. He found that there seemed to be faint silver stripes inside the black gem that formed a weird magic array.
Enchantment, magic scroll making, and magic array making were known as advanced magic support skills. They could, to a certain extent, determine the upper limit of a Mage's growth.
At this moment, Roland was more or less a beginner in enchantment, but he couldn't find a place to learn magic scroll making and magic array making.
There seemed to be a magic array inside the black gem, which meant that the major Magic Towers had courses on magic arrays.
Roland poured his mental power into the black gem. Soon, a red spot moved in the gem and stopped on one side of the gem.
"East!"
Roland turned the gem, and the red dot just pointed in this direction and didn't turn with it.
It was indeed an indicator.
Roland walked to a place with fewer people and activated Human Cannonball.
Amid exclamations, Roland flew to the sky at an unbelievable speed.
