The next day, Roland gave the catgirl Marilyn a gold coin and asked her to buy three camels.
Although Marilyn was playful and troublesome, she was actually quite reliable when it came to work.
Three Bactrian Camels of good quality that looked tall and healthy were pulled over.
Roland grabbed the vulpera with Hand of Magic and put him on one of the camels. Then, Roland and the catgirl each sat on a camel.
Then, they slowly walked out of the city.
Many people watched them on their way.
After all, it was rare for a vulpera Mage to be dragged away with his hands tied.
Even a Mage was in trouble. That was rare.
There were a lot of vulperas in the city. They were a united race.
But when they saw that it was a human Mage who was responsible for escorting their compatriots, many vulperas immediately dropped the idea of rescuing them.
The average intelligence of the vulperas was even higher than that of human beings.
High intelligence meant that they were more rational in most situations.
They found that their compatriot didn't seem to have been tortured. His hands were tied, and he didn't look wounded.
He looked decent enough.
More importantly, his compatriot was also a Mage.
It was just a fight between Mages. Was it appropriate for outsiders like them to get involved?
All in all, those who were more intelligent would think more.
If the green-skinned orcs saw that their compatriots were kidnapped by human beings, they would've charged at them with their axes.
They didn't care if they were Mages or Warriors.
So, it was easy for them to leave the city. They rode the camels slowly in the direction of the Red Magic Tower.
After they left the city, the catgirl rode the camel to Roland and asked, "Master, why didn't you use the spell that lets you swish home?"
The wind was blowing in the desert at this moment. Although it didn't raise any sand, it was still whistling in the boundless sea of sand.
The catgirl's voice could only be heard by the two of them. Nobody else could.
Roland shook his head. "I don't want too many people to know about this, so you should keep it a secret too."
The catgirl nodded quickly.
In fact, Roland wasn't scared that the catgirl would spread the news, because the multiple teleportation arrays were too advanced for ordinary people to notice. What did it matter to him whether or not multiple teleportation arrays could work? So what if there was one more?
The mages, on the other hand, were well aware of the difficulty of multiple teleportation, so they basically wouldn't believe it.
Even if the Catgirl spread the news outside, people would think that she was bragging.
However, it would be a different story if he experienced it himself.
So, Roland planned to walk back to the Magic Tower this time. He was in no hurry.
As long as they didn't get lost, it would take them at most a day and a night to cover a distance of tens of kilometers.
The Vulpera Mage had been observing the two. He kept feeling that something was not right when they left the city. Now, after observing for a while, he finally found his blind spot.
"Mage friend, may I ask a question?"
Roland turned to look at him. "Speak."
"Did you forget to bring water and food?" At this point, the vulpera prince was already feeling thirsty. "Why don't we just go back?"
The catgirl laughed heartily.
The vulpera prince looked at her with displeasure.
Roland, on the other hand, took out a water bag from the system Backpack and put it back. "There's water and food. Don't worry."
The vulpera prince felt that his chances of escape had dropped again.
The three of them continued forward. Walking in the desert was very boring and dangerous. Apart from the scorching heat that would appear from time to time and the sandstorms that could bury people, there was also the deadly quicksand in the sea of sand. If one was not careful, they would be swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
So, despite the catgirl's carefree personality, she didn't dare to get off the camel and walk in the desert.
After walking for half a day, Roland built a round house with Stone to Mud and hid in it to eat.
At this moment, Roland untied the vulpera prince's hands and gave him a bag of clean water and some jerky.
The vulpera prince was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he looked around at the house that Roland built and was rather surprised.
It had never occurred to him that Mud to Stone and Stone to Mud could be used in such a way.
If possible, everyone wanted to learn all the spells.
However, everybody had limited energy, so they could only choose spells that suited their abilities or personality.
The vulpera prince, for example, didn't learn those spells because he didn't think they were useful.
But it seemed that he was too inexperienced.
After the vulpera prince was full and took care of his metabolism problem, Roland tied him up again.
Then, he reminded the catgirl to be careful and took care of his metabolism problem outside.
After Roland left the house, the vulpera prince said to Marilyn, "Catgirl, you werecats yearn for freedom. You must be very unhappy to be his slave, right?"
The catgirl looked at him in a daze.
"I have a way to undo the collar on your neck. Let's run away together, okay?"
Normally speaking, it would take a dozen minutes to undo the slave collar without a key.
The vulpera prince sensed that the slave collar on the catgirl's neck was devoid of magic power. There was no telling whether the human Mage had intentionally scared the catgirl with a fake collar, or if the human Mage hadn't noticed it in time because something was wrong with the collar.
Either way, the vulpera prince felt that it was an opportunity for him.
"You mean like this?"
Kacha! Kacha! Kat Girl pulled the collar with both hands and split it in half.
The vulpera prince's eyes widened.
The catgirl then put the collar back on her neck.
The vulpera prince was rather panicked as he watched that.
A spatial Mage who hadn't slept at all and was still in high spirits.
A catgirl who was clearly free but wore a slave collar on her neck.
What kind of weird combination was that?
It seemed that regular tricks wouldn't work on them.
After Roland returned, the vulpera prince hesitated for a moment and asked, "My friend, don't you want to know why the Spatial Magic Tower is hunting me?"
Roland shook his head. "No."
"I want to know!" shouted the catgirl as she jumped to her feet.
Both the Mages stared at her coldly.
The catgirl was so scared that she meowed and jumped back to the corner.
The vulpera prince took a deep breath and said, "Because I stole a very powerful spell model from the Spatial Magic Tower."
"Okay," Roland replied casually.
The vulpera prince found it odd. "You're very good at spatial magic. Are you not interested in such powerful spatial spells?"
Roland smiled. "You don't have any books on you. You must've hidden it somewhere."
"Yes," the vulpera prince said proudly. The vulpera prince said rather proudly, "Because I anticipated that I might be caught, I made such preparations. As long as you're willing to let me go, I'll take you to the spell form and give you a fortune."
"I'm a member of the Red Magic Tower, which is very close to the Spatial Magic Tower. As long as I finish my studies diligently, I'll apply to the Red Magic Tower after I graduate, and I'll have a good chance of learning high-level evocation spells and spatial magic. Why would I want to learn a powerful spell that's almost impossible to learn right now and ruin my bright future?"
The vulpera prince was stunned by his sarcasm. After a while, he said, "You have very strong self-control, and you have a long-term vision for your future. You also know how to plan. You're much better than me. "
After that, the vulpera prince lowered his head and went into seclusion.
After a brief rest, the three of them set off again.
However, the vulpera prince didn't try to persuade or bribe Roland again.
He simply sat on the camel in silence, as if he were reflecting on something.
Because of the prince's cooperation, Roland returned to the Red Magic Tower at noon the next day.
After handing over the vulpera prince to the relevant personnel, Roland took a few hours of rest, before he was summoned to the conference hall to meet the Great Elder.
"I knew that you wouldn't disappoint me." Alfred, the Great Elder, was quite happy. "Not only did you capture him in a very short time, you weren't even tempted by the other party's bribes and temptations. That's what a strong-willed Mage should do."
Roland smiled.
"Do you know what spell model the vulpera prince stole?" asked Alfred.
Roland replied, "He wanted to tell me that he would trade it for an opportunity to escape, but I'm not interested."
"Mystra's Mansion," said Alfred with a smile. "It's a spatial spell of the highest level. It's multiple times more practical than Spatial Obliteration. It's also multiple times more difficult. "
Roland had read about this spell in various books. It was one of the spells that Mystra created before she became a goddess.
It was said to be the best escape and survival spell.
Whoever knew this spell would dare to spit at a Demon God and raise their middle fingers.
They wouldn't be scared no matter how many people hunted them.
"How could such a powerful and important thing be stolen so easily?"
Roland found it hard to believe. The vulpera prince wasn't very strong, and any Master from the Spatial Magic Tower could've beaten him up easily.
Alfred said with a smile, "I don't know the details.
"Because someone helped him, a lich and a weirdo with black wings." Alfred laughed out loud. "Doesn't it sound familiar?"
Roland knew who it was.
In the incident in the capital, it was the First Princess's ex-husband and the Fallen Angel of the Paradise of Life.
Roland had thought that the vulpera prince's incident was just a side quest. He didn't expect that it was related to his main quest.
"If it was those two, the spell model that the vulpera prince hid must've been taken away by them."
Alfred nodded. "I think so too. This is the end of the matter. Next, it's time for us old guys to get up and do some minor work. The enemy is very strong. Although you can be resurrected infinitely from an alternate dimension, your strength will plummet if you die too many times, which will affect your future and development. It's too dangerous for you to meddle in anymore. Do you understand? "
Roland thought for a moment and nodded.
He didn't mind not doing the epic quest about Stephanie's ex-husband.
Alfred had a point. At this point, Roland would drop one level every time he died.
It wasn't easy to level up.
"Since you've accomplished the quest brilliantly, we naturally have to reward you. What do you want? Equipment or spell model? "asked Alfred.
Roland thought for a moment and said, "I want the spell model of Lesser Benediction!"
