After the VOD system was opened, the three squads of F6 and the Phoenix Guild had the most viewers.
It was especially so for F6. Almost every player would fast-forward to watch F6's matches in the past ten days.
Then, they watched the videos of the Phoenix Guild.
Even in fast-forward mode and skipping, it took him almost an entire day to finish reading.
There weren't many posts on the forum at first, but by nine o 'clock at night, there were more and more discussion posts.
Most of them were in this format.
"Roland proved that Mages are the real core of a team with his strength even without hacking."
"All guilds must focus on training Mages from now on."
"Without Mages, everything is predictable. With Mages, miracles may happen."
Of course, it was still this post that was the most popular.
"Who can tell me how to become a Mage like Roland?"
The replies in the post all had their own style.
"It's possible to re-take nine years of compulsory education, get into a good college, and re-study advanced mathematics, calculus, and other basic subjects."
"I think it's possible in my dreams."
"Who's peeing is yellow? Go and wake him up."
"Don't be so mean. Everybody has dreams. Take me for example. I've been in the game for more than two years, and I've finally learned Hand of Magic. My hard work pays off. I have a bright future ahead of me. How wonderful. "
"Become a Mage like Roland? That's easy! Just create a Mage account and name it 'Roland.' After all, this game doesn't forbid duplicate names. " ‘
Apart from the posts about Mages, there were also a lot of posts about the Phoenix Guild.
"The Phoenix Guild's greatest misfortune was that they ran into Roland."
This post was also quite popular. The poster highly praised the transformation of the girls of the Phoenix Guild after their failure in the early stages of the game. In the middle and later stages of the game, they almost dominated the entire map, slaughtering from east to west and from north to south. They were almost invincible.
Of course, this was because the Elven Summoner profession itself was very strong, and they had enough combat power to suppress their opponents. Coupled with their own mobility, ordinary professionals couldn't beat them at all.
However, the girls' fighting spirit was commendable.
By logic, they should've been able to win.
At the end of the game, there were still more than eighty Summoners alive. If they tried their best, they could summon more than five thousand beasts.
F6, on the other hand, only had six members.
However, the Phoenix Guild still lost despite such a huge gap in combat ability.
His loss was unexpected, but it was also a reasonable loss.
Roland was too abnormal.
As long as a Mage like Roland was in the game, no matter how many Elven Summoners there were, they would never be the strongest in the server.
Then came the replies from the players.
"I feel that the Phoenix Guild is just a chess piece to highlight how strong Roland is. I'm also a woman, and I hope that the Phoenix Guild can win, but they still lost. The Phoenix Guild lost in frustration, and F6 … Roland won beautifully. Nobody will think that Roland is shameless."
"This is not despicable, it is wisdom. Under those circumstances, besieging the city to repel the enemy was indeed the best way to win. '
"Isn't he just taking advantage of the Summoner's weakness of not being able to summon large flying mounts because of their low level? If the competition limits the characters to level eight and above, do you think Roland's trick will still work?"
"Damn it, Roland is already strong enough at level five. How strong can he be at level eight? If a Summoner becomes stronger at a higher level, wouldn't a Mage also become stronger? "
"Don't talk about flying mounts. Don't restrict Roland's mass destruction spells if you can. No matter how many summoned beasts you have, they'll all die."
"I rather admire Roland for coming up with such a solution. In the video, when Roland saw that almost all the players on the map were wiped out by the Phoenix Guild, I thought that Roland was bound to lose. I didn't expect him to win. '
"But I do admire the girls of the Phoenix Guild. At the beginning, they had an advantage purely because they had more people, but after being taught a lesson by F6, they've abandoned the burden in their hearts and immediately adopted guerrilla tactics. Solisa, in particular, is already showing the style of a female general. ‘
"Speaking of F6 teaching the Phoenix Guild a lesson, I'm reminded of Roland's teleportation assassination. It was so cool. He covered a girl's mouth from behind, stabbed her, and then immediately left. The whole process took no more than three seconds. Not even a shadow was left."
"Mud to Stone and Stone to Mud are really useful. They can be used to build cellars and the Great Wall. It's a pity that I haven't found the trick to learn them yet."
"Mages can create water, oil, buff, build, enchant, and teleport. They have mobility, survivability, and extremely high damage. They can even change the terrain. Why do people still think that Mages are a weak class? "
"Of course Mages are a weak class, but Mages are not."
The players on the forum were quite active.
They had been talking and discussing.
Expressing their thoughts.
From this great battle royale, they discovered the strengths and weaknesses of their class.
In many cases, whether or not one's ideas were feasible and whether or not one's battle philosophy was useful could be tested in a great battle.
They didn't envy the Summoners of the Phoenix Guild.
Those girls were indeed strong in groups, and they were also good when they were alone.
But … they relied too much on summoned beasts.
In the battles from the third to the eighth day, many people fought the girls of the Phoenix Guild.
They did have a lot of summoned beasts, but most of the time, they were easily defeated because they panicked when they were ambushed.
With this experience, they wouldn't be like this again when they encountered Summoners in the future.
At least they wouldn't be defeated so quickly and so miserably.
And many of them had also killed a lot of Summoner girls. For example, they had obtained equipment in the ruins that had the effect of increasing the damage to summoned beasts.
With these pieces of equipment, many people broke through the summoned beasts' defense line like a knife through butter and killed the careless Elven Summoner girls.
Unfortunately, this kind of equipment was too rare in the ruins, but in the game world, it wasn't too difficult to get this kind of enchantment.
When the time came, they could hoard a few pieces in their Backpack and take them out to use when they encountered Summoners. They might not be able to suppress the opponent, but at least they wouldn't be defenseless.
Roland had also been reading the forum.
Of course, he wasn't looking at how others praised him, but at how others fought.
Then he combined his own experience, compared them, integrated them, and turned them into his own.
When the game reopened again, Roland entered the game.
When he woke up in the laboratory, Roland found that he had two "Free Specialties" columns.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, he chose two specialties that seemed ordinary but suited him very well.
Smart: Maximum Intelligence + 1
Magic Power Coordination: Maximum Magic Power + 30
An increase in Intelligence could increase the power of a Mage's spells and slightly increase the maximum magic power.
And Magic Power Coordination also increased the maximum magic power.
From this great battle royale, Roland discovered that Mages were indeed a class that was extremely short of mana.
Even a big shot like Mordenkainen's main purpose in building a floating city was to build himself a power bank with almost infinite energy.
If Roland could use a lot of magic power at the beginning of the game, he would have a better start in the early stages.
He wouldn't run out of mana just because he flew for a few minutes.
After choosing his specialties, Roland went to his bedroom. Andonara wasn't in bed, so he went downstairs. Sure enough, he saw Andonara in her pajamas making breakfast in the kitchen.
Roland walked over and hugged her gently for a while.
Andonara was a little confused. After all, Roland was passive most of the time, and it was the first time he was so active today.
If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it. Andonara could feel Roland's affection for her and was a lot happier.
For Andonara, Roland had never left her.
But for Roland, he hadn't seen Andonara for more than ten days. Naturally, he missed her.
After that, life became very ordinary, even a little boring.
Roland continued studying magic, and Andonara was responsible for taking care of him.
More than a month passed. Then one day, Great Elder Alfred asked someone to invite Roland to his study.
It was a small room with only two black wooden bookshelves that didn't have many books on them.
Alfred sat in front of the bookshelves. Seeing Roland come in, he pointed at the chair opposite his desk.
Roland sat down.
According to the rumors, the Great Elder seemed to be more than a hundred years old, but nobody could tell exactly how old he was. His appearance and complexion looked like that of a man who had just entered his fifties. He was quite healthy and full of vigor.
"Roland, the leaders of the Council of Elders have decided to return to the Fareins Kingdom mainly to meet and chat with the leaders of the Church of Light."
Roland was slightly confused. Why was the Great Elder telling him that?
"During the meeting with the leaders of the Church of Light, we won some benefits, such as a place to enter the Grand Library of Light."
Roland's eyes immediately glittered.
At this moment, Roland had a lot of knowledge about spell models and magic arrays. It wouldn't be bad if he could study divine power.
However, the Grand Library of Light wasn't a place that anybody could enter.
Although Schuck was a Saint Samurai and a leader of the Church of Light, it wasn't easy for an outsider to enter an important place like the Grand Library.
But if it was an exchange of interests between two forces, it would be a different story.
"So, Great Elder, you want me to go with you?"
Alfred said with a smile, "You're very eager to learn, and you like reading in the library. I think it's a good opportunity for you."
"Thank you, Great Elder." Since the Great Elder had given him such a great benefit, Roland didn't mind flattering him. "Great Elder, if there's anything you need my help with, just let me know. I'll do it well as long as I can."
"You can only do it well if you can?" The Great Elder shook his head with a helpless smile. "You sly fellow. Okay, you can go back now. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."
Roland stood up and asked, "Can I bring someone with me?"
"I know you can't let go of the Great Swordsman queen. Take her with you. There's no place for her."
Roland smiled.
Soon after Roland left, Murphy came in with a piece of paper.
"Great Elder, something still isn't right," said Murphy. "I've checked all the recent port entry records and the rental records of the flying boats. Roland isn't in any of them. Nor is the Great Swordsman queen. How did she cross the ocean and come to the Red Magic Tower from tens of thousands of kilometers away when Roland was on vacation? "
The Great Elder thought for a moment and said, "Did she set off a long time ago and arrive here just after Roland's vacation ended?"
"But there must be port entry records. Someone as beautiful as her will attract attention wherever she goes. It's impossible that nobody noticed her."
Deep in thought, the Great Elder subconsciously touched the beard on his chin.
Murphy continued, "Also, according to the intelligence we collected from Hollevin, Roland did appear in Delpon during his vacation."
"Are you implying that they've mastered a spell that can teleport multiple people?" Alfred put on a weird smile. "Multiple teleportation, or teleportation magic arrays?"
"I think it's the latter," said Murphy. "Recently, Roland has been studying magic arrays. He may have made a breakthrough and combined Long-Distance Teleportation with magic arrays."
Alfred patted the surface of the desk with his right hand. He thought and gradually exerted force until the desk clattered. Then, he retracted his right hand and said slowly, "Roland is indeed a genius, but aren't you exaggerating his intelligence? Even the Monochrome Magic Tower hasn't figured out the topic of Multiple Teleportation yet. How old is Roland? How long has he been in the Red Magic Tower? Do you think it's possible? "
"It's impossible to speculate with common sense." Murphy shrugged and said, "But some people can't be speculated with common sense. For example, Mordenkainen or Melf. I still think that Roland will be like Mordenkainen and Melf when he grows up. "
Alfred slightly nodded and considered for a moment, before he asked, "If Roland has really created Multiple Teleportation or a magic array, what are you going to do?"
"How about we ask him to hand it over?" Murphy took a deep breath and said, "He can't handle such a spell on his own."
Alfred chuckled. "Why can't he handle it on his own? He's an undying Golden Son. How can you threaten him? Also, he's not weak at all. If we really fight, only the few of us can suppress him, but we might not be able to capture him. He knows Teleportation too. "
Murphy heaved a sigh. "But when I think that he might have the trick to teleport multiple people, I feel an itch in my heart. I can't wait to see the spell model right now."
Alfred comforted him. "There's no rush. Take your time. Small streams flow slowly. I'm going to take Roland back to Fareins, pretending to be a visit to the Church of Light, but I'm actually trying to get him to meet the First Princess. Considering Roland's penchant for mature women, I think he should be able to talk to the First Princess. We'll give him benefits bit by bit and let him feel the warmth and love of Fareins. One day, he will become one of us. By then, even if he doesn't hand over the trick to Multiple Teleportation, we won't lose anything as long as he stays in Fareins. "
