Roland grew to like this simple life more and more.
Every day, he went to class, read books in the library, and studied magic theories and conducted magic experiments at home.
Then someone would make steaming delicacies for him.
He didn't need to think too much. He just needed to concentrate on doing what he wanted to do.
Such a life made Roland feel like he was back in high school.
Simply working hard for one thing, isolated from the rest of the world, was fulfilling and happy.
So when he got on the flying boat and could only browse the forum or hang out with Andonara all day, he felt extremely empty.
Both mentally and physically empty.
Fortunately, it only took five days to fly from the Red Magic Tower to the Holy Realm of Fareins.
Five days later, Roland got off the flying boat, feeling sore in his feet.
Alfred walked past him and said with a smile, "Young man, take it easy. There's a great life waiting for you in the future. It's not good to play too much now and hurt your health."
Roland was speechless.
But Andonara snorted angrily. "You don't have to worry about us!"
Alfred was a Legend, and so was Andonara, so she didn't have to be nice to Alfred at all.
If they were to fight, Alfred probably couldn't beat Andonara, but since he knew Teleportation, it was unlikely that Andonara would be able to keep him.
Looking at Andonara's protective expression, Alfred sighed deeply and shook his head as he walked away.
He just felt that this world was so unfair.
They were all Mages, and they had all been young.
Why was it that when he was young, the women he met, although there were beautiful and gentle ones …
But none of them were so noble, so strong, and so … clingy.
And when he was young, he was as tired as a dog when he studied magic, and he was squeezed by his mentor every day.
And Roland was squeezed by women every day.
This contrast … was even more heartbreaking.
He really wanted to go back to his youth and do it all over again.
At that time, he would definitely steal a powerful queen back.
Of course, this thought was only in Alfred's mind. He knew very well that women like Andonara were rare in the world.
Alfred walked in the front, followed by three mentors and a dozen servants.
Roland was the last.
The place where the flying boat landed was a very large square.
It was built with huge silver-white stones.
There were very few people in such a big square, and around the square, there was a circle of buildings that were about five stories high.
There was a faint surge of magic in these buildings.
At this moment, a mentor waited for Roland for a while and walked next to him. He then said, "Roland, this is the Association of Mages in Fareins. This plaza is huge, isn't it? It's specifically used to dock airships. "
Roland looked around. Their flying boat was the only one on the vast white square.
"They built such a large square just for an airboat?"
The mentor, who was old and had gray hair, explained, "The Association of Mages in Fareins has twelve flying boats, three enormous ones, two medium ones, and seven small ones. They are all rented by other forces, such as the royal family and the Church of Light."
"The rent must be very expensive."
"Of course," the middle-aged mentor said proudly. The middle-aged mentor said proudly, "Leaving aside the small and medium ones, the monthly rental fee for a large airship is 60 gold coins, not including the magic materials consumed during flight. The magic apprentices who are responsible for piloting and maintaining the airship also have to pay the rental fees themselves. Therefore, if you want to use a large airship, you'll have to spend at least 100 gold coins per month."
It was indeed expensive.
Delpon's monthly tax revenue was barely a hundred gold coins. After deducting the expenses of the city, the pure income was only about fifty gold coins a month.
It meant that the monthly tax revenue of the entire Delpon city couldn't even afford to rent an enormous flying boat.
However, Roland had other ways to make money, such as Teleportation. He could instantly think of several profitable business routes.
Also, he could make two to three hundred gold coins in a few days.
Of course, the market had its capacity. After making two to three hundred gold coins, it would take another half a year before he could do such a business again.
Looking at Roland's shocked expression, the mentor pointed to the surroundings and said, "The blue square buildings around us are the headquarters of the Association of Mages in Fareins. Isn't it huge? Almost all the Mages above the Elite level in the country live here, about ten thousand in number. They usually communicate and support each other. Some of the more outstanding ones would be chosen to go to the major Magic Towers. It can be said that there are a lot of geniuses here. You can communicate with them when you have time. "
Roland nodded lightly.
In Hollevin, there were less than ten thousand official Mages.
But here in Fareins, there were more than ten thousand Mages above the Elite level.
Was this the so-called heritage of a major country?
The mentor led Roland out of the square in a few minutes and came to the entrance of the enormous square building.
Then, he gave Roland and Andonara a small blue tag.
It had the same magic waves as the black tag he got in the dormitory of the Red Magic Tower, but the color was different.
It seemed to be something like a certificate made in the same way.
Roland poured some of his mental power into it and then helped Andonara guide some of her mental power into it.
Andonara's mental power was actually quite strong, but she didn't know how to use it.
It couldn't be helped. Warriors didn't like to delve into such things.
At this moment, the mentor smirked. "The Association of Mages has a tradition that new friends need to rely on their own wisdom to find their own room. Of course, if you really can't find it, you can also ask your peers here for help. Next, I hope you can have a good time, Roland. "
The mentor laughed heartily and left the place.
Roland looked at the blue tag in his hand. There were a few interlaced lines on it, and at the ends of each line, there were dots.
The dots were of different sizes and looked quite irregular.
Andonara looked at the tag in her hand for a while and mumbled, "This Association of Mages is too inconsiderate. There's no such thing as leaving a guest here."
Roland, however, said with a smile, "But I think it's quite interesting. Let's walk around together. We can get familiar with this place and have more time to shop."
Andonara's eyes lit up. That's right. It's indeed a good thing that I can play with Roland this way.
This Association of Mages isn't bad.
She thought delightedly.
That was why women were always fickle.
Roland entered the enormous square building and was slightly surprised.
The building had two floors and was designed to be supported by giant pillars. Every twenty meters or so, there were three giant stone pillars side by side that supported the thick rock floor above.
Each of the giant stone pillars was fifteen meters tall, and the distance between the pillars was also fifteen meters.
The height and the distance were the same, giving a rather harmonious feeling.
The stone slabs on the floor of the building were made of a special kind of smooth stone material. It was obviously white, but when one looked down and saw that it was almost perpendicular to the ground, the stone material would show a dark, five-colored rainbow light.
The color wasn't bright, so it wasn't dazzling, and it gave off a low-key and luxurious feeling.
Roland estimated that the stone of the floor alone was very expensive.
There were a lot of people in the building, but because the building was so spacious, there were very few people.
Because of the long distance, the Mages could trot or use Slight Acceleration when they were in a hurry.
Some even cast Levitation on themselves and jumped directly from the stairs or the inside viewing balconies.
Roland was observing his fellow Mages.
The Mages were also observing him … but mainly Andonara.
It wasn't strange. After all, a beautiful woman would always be noticed wherever she went.
It was human nature.
However, these Mages were quite principled. Although many people noticed Andonara, none of them came to talk to her when they saw that she had a male companion.
And Roland was happy to do so. He took Andonara for a long time in this enormous square-circuit building.
He saw a lot of things.
For example, the indoor fountain that was made with the principle of siphoning magic power elements.
A magic balloon that could carry people with Levitation but couldn't control its direction.
A puppet that could dance on its own. Because of poor craftsmanship, its carvings were quite ugly, like the wooden maids in horror movies.
In any case, a lot of things appeared in this enormous square-circuit building.
Andonara found it quite interesting.
But Roland was just a bystander.
There were so many of these things in the real world that he could understand their principles at a glance.
After another half an hour, Roland turned to the second floor, which was much quieter, and in a long corridor, there were black doors every five meters.
Roland walked over with Andonara, found a room marked 1002, and put the blue wooden sign next to the lock.
The door opened.
"When did you crack the secret of this wooden sign?"
Andonara was a little surprised.
She never doubted Roland's intelligence and knew that he could definitely crack it.
But along the way, Roland seemed to be watching the fun and didn't look at the sign at all.
"When I got it, I knew the gist of it." Roland pointed at the blue sign and explained, "These dots are of different sizes. There are six of them. You can think of them as hexadecimal numbers, and then these lines are actually simple maps of passages with numbers and maps. You can compare them on the way and know where our rooms are."
Andonara's gorgeous eyes widened. "What's hexadecimal?"
Well … Roland scratched his head. It seemed a little difficult to explain what hexadecimal was to a semi-illiterate person.
At this moment, the door next to them opened.
From there, a female Mage walked out.
She had blonde hair and blue eyes, tall and slender.
She glanced at Roland, froze for a moment, and then bowed slightly.
Because she could feel that Roland was much stronger than she was.
After bowing, the female Mage was about to leave, but she took two steps and suddenly turned back.
She looked at Andonara. "I've seen you before!"
Andonara looked back at her. "Indeed, you look familiar to me too."
