The Druids were infuriated, but they didn't attack.
Roland's fireball just now was very tricky for them to deal with.
As experts, they could tell how strong Roland was just by looking at it, not to mention that they had tested the power of the explosion.
Roland cast Extreme Body Fortification on Vincent again and asked, "Who beat you up like this?"
Vincent looked much better at this point. He couldn't move his hands and feet, but he could stare at someone with his eyes.
It was Heather.
He didn't know who did this to Vincent, but he could vent his anger on the person he disliked most.
Heather, on the other hand, had been too talkative and annoying.
Roland looked back at Heather and said to Andonara, "Show me how strong you are right now."
"No problem."
Andonara put her hand on the hilt of her sword happily.
At this point, Heather was already panicking.
Great Swordsmen developed both agility and stamina, so their faces weren't full of muscles like those of pure Warriors. Therefore, it was hard to tell how strong they were from their appearance when they restrained themselves.
Besides, Andonara was extremely beautiful, had a devilish body, and was very charming. Even if she was wearing leather armor and carrying a sword, the first impression would be that she was just a noblewoman who was pretending to be a professional and wanted to experience a different life.
Even so, Heather was still panicked. A person who could stand next to a powerful Mage couldn't be bad.
He was about to talk, when Andonara drew her sword.
Two clanks of the sword were heard, followed by the sound of the sword being unsheathed and sheathed.
There seemed to be something transparent in the air. At the same time, Heather's body suddenly split in half from the middle, as if someone had torn his body from both sides at the same time. It was extremely symmetrical, and then it flew to the left and right … In midair, red and green internal organs fell to the ground.
So fast!
Roland only managed to see Andonara raise her hand and sheathe her sword.
He also managed to see the sword aura in the air.
If he had been standing in Heather's position, even with his Magic Shield, the attack would've drained his mana, and he would've been flung back a dozen meters.
A Mage without magic power was no different from an ordinary person in front of a Warrior.
He would still be dead.
None of the Druids could see what Andonara was doing.
Heather's death turned their anger into fear and coldness.
Ignoring the body on the ground, Andonara smiled and looked at Roland, asking for credit.
The Druids remained silent.
After a long time, Black Thorn looked at the heather that had been cut in half and the blood that was flowing everywhere. Holding back his fury, he asked Roland slowly, "You killed one of our men without asking anything?"
"Didn't you want to kill our people?" Roland pointed at Vincent behind him.
A Druid walked forward. "You've cut down a large number of trees and destroyed a huge forest. You deserve to die!"
Trying to reason with me?
Roland pointed at the poor workers in the distance who hadn't completely evacuated. "But if we don't cut down this forest, they won't have a place to farm, and they won't be able to survive. I know you Druids love the forest, but aren't humans also a part of nature? Why don't you love it? Or do you think it's best if human beings don't live in this world? "
Roland had set up a trap. If the Druids admitted that they didn't love human beings, chances were that the Druids would lean toward evil.
That was also a test for him.
Ever since the incident with the black leaf players, Roland had been considering what evil was.
Or rather, how the seraphim determined evil.
Evil Detect was a level-two spell, but because Evil Detect was inherently mocking, Roland had never used it before. After the incident with the black leaf players and Andonara's return, Roland began to study the spell.
Although it was rude to use the spell on outsiders, Roland could use it on his own people.
Vivian was a neutral light when she was detected.
Andonara, on the other hand, was a dazzling golden light.
That was a sign of Lawful Goodness.
But Roland knew Andonara very well. She was essentially a little woman, and it was not a problem for her to be neutral. Even with her slightly twisted view on love, she could be considered chaotic neutral, but there was no way she could be labeled as lawful good.
The only thing she had done recently was to repeatedly kill hundreds of Black Leaf players.
So … the Evil Detection spell was more used to detect past words and deeds, rather than a person's temperament?
After that, Roland secretly cast Evil Detect on a lot of ordinary people late at night.
Ordinary people couldn't sense magic waves, so they didn't know that Evil Detect had been cast on them.
Those people were all considered evil by Roland. That was why he used them as test subjects.
To Roland's surprise, a few of them did emit feeble red light, which indicated that they had indeed done bad things. However, there were even more people who were in the neutral camp.
For example, some nobles who were harsh to their servants and even broke their legs and threw them aside to vent their anger were neutral too.
The few slave traders in the city were neutral too.
From the players' perspective, those people were all sinners, but Evil Detect didn't think that they were wrong.
Roland thought that his spell was wrong for a while.
Then, he found that those people had one thing in common, which was that none of them really killed anyone, and what they did matched their identities.
It meant that the laws of the world acknowledged that they had the right to do that.
Roland found it hard to believe when he came to that conclusion. He almost cursed out loud.
If he continued to expand that line of thought, the things that Roland didn't understand would make sense.
For example, the Elven slave traders were people who deserved to die from the players' simple point of view, but no human emissary of justice had ever bothered to cause trouble for them.
It was because slavery was an objective and legal thing in this world.
Even the righteous Saint Samurai couldn't say anything to the slave traders.
But the elves could, because from the perspective of the elves, all the slave traders deserved to die.
So, the result of Evil Detect had a lot to do with the target's race and identity.
At this moment, Roland's words were a trap to test if his speculation was correct.
He was waiting for Black Thorn's answer.
As a Mage, Black Thorn had keen instincts. He sensed that something wasn't right. Roland's question seemed to be malicious.
The two parties were hostile to each other. It was reasonable that Black Thorn was hostile.
But the uneasiness made Black Thorn extremely uncomfortable. He decided to think carefully before he spoke.
But somebody couldn't help it.
Seeing that Black Thorn didn't talk, a Druid thought that he had chickened out. He stepped forward and roared at Roland, "How can human beings compare to nature? The lives of ten untouchables are worth less than the lives of a tree!"
Roland had been waiting for exactly such words.
He snapped his fingers and activated Evil Detect again.
Everybody's alignment was revealed to Roland again.
The white light on the Druid who stood out just now was slightly weaker than before.
Only slightly weaker.
It meant that language couldn't significantly influence their alignment. But Roland's speculation was correct.
Evil Detect really depended on force, race, and identity.
The anger on the Druids' faces deepened.
Roland's action made them feel that their pants had been taken off again.
They were even more furious. If one could see their faces that were hidden in the shadows, they would discover that the veins on their foreheads were bulging. The Druid who spoke just now pointed at Roland's face rudely.
He was about to curse, when Andonara laid her hand on the hilt of her sword.
The man subconsciously put his hand down.
Roland smiled. "We're going to cut down this forest. If you think the lives of the trees are more important than the lives of human beings, you can come to me. Now, please get out of here. This is Delpon, not the Elf Forest. "
"We're human beings, not elves!" declared Black Thorn fiercely.
"But in my eyes, you're no different from elves." Roland smiled viciously. "This is the territory of the people of Delpon, not a place for false elves like you. We call the shots on our own land. You outsiders don't have a say in it. Now, get the hell out of here. "
The few human Druids looked at Roland hatefully and wanted to say something.
But they didn't say anything in the end, not even threatening him.
They simply wrapped Heather's body with special zombie-eating vines and left in frustration after swallowing the flesh and leaving the bones.
Roland, on the other hand, carried Vincent's bloody body back to the Magic Tower with Hand of Magic.
Lying on the bed, after some simple treatment, Vincent's complexion looked a little better. However, it would take at least five days for his flesh and bones to grow back.
"Lying in bed for five days, unable to move at all. Can you stand it?" Roland said with a smile. "You might as well die once. Ten minutes later, you'll be fine again. "
"No way." Vincent turned down Roland's suggestion quickly. "I've just reached level five. If I die, I'll fall back to level four, and my three months of hard work will be wasted."
Roland smiled. After reaching level five, because of the increase in total EXP, the loss of EXP after one death was truly heartbreaking.
"Then I'll instruct the workers again," said Roland and was about to leave.
"Wait. I have something to ask you. "
Roland stopped and said, "Go ahead."
Vincent struggled to shake his head at Roland. "Why didn't you kill the Druids just now? If you let them go, there might be trouble later. "
"They're all neutral. It's not good to kill them all. Andonara lost a lot of her golden light after she killed one of them. If we attack them, we'll easily turn into black leaves. "
"You're just going to hold back? I'm scared that they'll cause trouble in secret. "Vincent voiced his concern.
"That's fine." Roland smiled. "I already have a way to deal with them."
