Looking at their eyes, Roland felt that his blood was freezing. He wondered if he had been treated as an experiment subject.
Fortunately, Roland still saw some admiration in their eyes, which made him feel at ease.
"In any case, Mr. Roland, please register yourself first." Claus led Roland to the counter and sat on a chair, before he said, "Please tell us your information first."
"Roland, I'm a human." Roland thought for a moment and continued, "Seventeen years old, male. I have no bad habits, and I like reading. "
At this moment, everybody looked at him strangely.
Seventeen years old … Claus put down his pen and rubbed his face. He heaved a soft sigh, as if he were very disappointed.
"What's wrong with you?" Roland asked curiously. "Is there something wrong with my age?"
"Although you have a tender face, the way you treat people and your temperament gives off a sense of maturity." An old man stood up and said slowly, "We thought that you were at least twenty-five, but you're only seventeen."
Roland was briefly stunned. His real age was twenty-four, but in the game, the system set all the Golden Sons to be seventeen years old. So, he was just saying.
He didn't expect these people to guess his real age intuitively.
"It doesn't matter what you think." Roland thought for a moment and said, "I'm seventeen in this body, but my mental age is twenty-four."
Everybody looked at each other for a moment and shook their heads.
Roland found their expressions strange, but he couldn't say anything at this moment.
"Mr. Roland, let's not talk about your age." Claus handed over an exquisite piece of paper with unique gray patterns and said, "According to our president's instructions, you'll immediately become the acting vice president after you join the association, effective immediately."
"Acting deputy chairman!" Even though Roland was a steady man, he was still surprised to hear that. "Why do you give me so much power the moment I come? Is this okay? Logically speaking, I'm not worthy of your trust, am I? "
"So, you're the acting deputy chairman." Claus stood up and said with admiration, "But I believe that you'll soon become a real chairman. Although you're the acting branch president, your authority is similar to the president's, except that you don't have the right to dismiss him. You can use most of the resources in the Mage Tower, and the library is open to you. Magic apprentices like us don't have the right to enter the library. "
That was what Roland wanted to hear … the library.
In the information age, the role of books was slightly weakened. After all, the Internet was too exaggerated.
Even so, books still played a great role in spreading knowledge. In this game world, there was no internet or newspapers. Only books had the ability to record and spread knowledge. Roland joined the association partly because he wanted to communicate with the local Mages and partly because he wanted to see if there were any books in the Magic Tower that he could borrow.
However, he didn't expect that the Magic Tower had more "wealth" than he had imagined. It even had a library.
He didn't want to be the acting branch president, but when he heard the word 'library', he was tempted.
"Alright, I'll be the acting branch leader." Roland knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity, it would disappear in an instant, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Hearing that Roland agreed, the magic apprentices nearby were all excited.
Claus was grinning so widely that his mouth almost split open. He gave the paper to Roland again. "Branch president, I'll have to call you that now. This is your name list. Please keep it safe. "
Roland accepted it and looked at the twisted hieroglyphics on it. He was stunned for a moment, before he said in embarrassment, "Well … I don't understand your language."
Huh … The magic apprentices were so shocked that their jaws almost hit the ground.
Claus exclaimed in surprise, "Then how can you speak our language … Wait, Language Proficiency!"
Almost all the magic apprentices realized what was going on. They were both shocked and ecstatic. Unlike President Aldo, they were just magic apprentices and didn't notice that Roland had a status spell on him at all.
Language Proficiency didn't have much combat ability, but it was very significant for Mages. As the most difficult level-two spell to learn, it was as difficult as level-three spells.
Most official Mages wouldn't try to learn Language Proficiency until they reached the Elite level. Also, only the Mages who learned Language Proficiency were qualified to travel around the world.
Otherwise, even the best linguists couldn't fully grasp the hundreds of dialects in dozens of countries, as well as the races in the Realm of Devils, elves, dwarves, and so on.
At such a time, only Language Proficiency could help.
Therefore, even if a Mage didn't know many combat spells, as long as he knew Language Proficiency, he would be a guest of honor in any organization.
He would enjoy a superior status.
Mages were rare in the first place, and even fewer above the Elite level. Even fewer Mages could master Language Proficiency.
After all, Language Proficiency was a spell of prophecy, or more precisely, of causality.
The so-called Language Proficiency was a direct result of casting the spell. Everyone could understand each other, and they could hear each other's mother tongue.
Prophecy was the most difficult of the nine major schools of magic, followed by spatial magic.
Even Mages had different talents. Some were good at evocation, and some were bad at prophecy.
But now, Roland knew Language Proficiency, which proved that he was truly a genius.
Being taught by such a person was definitely a hundred times better than fumbling on their own.
At the thought of that, the eyes of the magic apprentices burned even more fervently.
"Mr. Roland, I'll have to tell you the benefits of being a deputy chairman." Claus felt that it was even more important to tie Roland to this Magic Tower. He hurriedly continued, "You can appoint a magic apprentice as your assistant. He will listen to your orders and take care of your daily life. I personally recommend Vivian as your assistant. She's a beauty anyway."
In the crowd of magic apprentices, a girl put on a shy smile. She seemed happy and had no intention of declining.
Negative review!
Giving away a woman at the beginning … If it were a web novel, the readers would definitely abandon it. Roland waved his hand and coughed. "I'm used to taking care of myself. Anything else?"
"You can choose one of the top three floors of the Magic Tower as your personal residence," Claus said. "One of the floors was supposed to be the chairman's, but he didn't like high floors and moved out."
Not bad! Roland nodded. That solved his problem of accommodation. He couldn't live in a hotel all the time.
Claus thought for a moment and said, "Also, although the chairman is in charge of the finances, you can claim ten gold coins every month as compensation for your hard work."
