To be honest, Roland didn't really want to escort the prisoner to the Spatial Magic Tower.
The two places were far away … and he couldn't use the magic boat.
Because using the magic boat once would cost a lot of money, and a round trip would cost a lot of gold coins.
Buying magic materials and experimenting with spells with this money would be enough for the students of the entire school for a week.
In this case, transporting the prisoner on foot or by camel was bound to waste a lot of time.
For someone like Roland, who had a great sense of time, it was simply a waste of his life.
So he didn't want to go.
But before Maromatha came to the manor, she had already contacted the Red Magic Tower as a representative of the Spatial Magic Tower, saying that she needed Roland to escort the prisoner.
This matter had been notified a day ago of the Red Magic Tower's Council of Elders, but the problem was that the Spatial Magic Tower didn't specify the specific name at the time, so the Great Elder didn't know that the Spatial Magic Tower needed Roland's help to escort the prisoner.
So when Maromatha made this suggestion, Roland didn't hesitate to refuse.
"Sorry, I don't have that time." Roland waved his hand and said, "The Spatial Magic Tower is too far from here. Even if you go straight on a camel, it will probably take about twenty days, and that's if there are no accidents or twists and turns. If something happens, a month is just a conservative estimate."
Maromatha frowned. "But … the relationship between our two Magic Towers is quite good."
"It really takes too much time."
Roland shook his head and went back to his room.
Maromatha waited where she was for a moment, then turned around and left the manor. She headed for the Council of Elders.
Along the way, she saw a lot of lewd or perverted looks.
But Maromatha didn't get angry. She was used to it.
Even in the Spatial Magic Tower's sphere of influence, she didn't see such looks often.
Besides, this was the Red Magic Tower.
When Maromatha's request was placed on the Great Elder's table, the Great Elder was immediately unhappy. "What does the Spatial Magic Tower mean? Asking Roland to escort the prisoner? They know that Roland is a genius. Haven't they considered how important time is to geniuses? "
Elder Murphy, who was next to him, smiled and said, "Not to mention anything else, they are not even willing to send a flying boat to pick him up. I guess they don't take that prisoner seriously, but I don't think it's right to ask Roland to go there."
"I also feel that there's something fishy going on." Considering for a moment, the Great Elder said, "Ask the catgirl who asked Roland to come on this trip. You can probably find something if you investigate him. “
"So we have to use the spies in the Spatial Magic Tower?"
Murphy shrugged. "I'm just making a suggestion. It's up to you, the Great Elder, to decide what to do."
"Hmm … Just say that Roland was injured by the Black Angel when he was out on a mission last time. He hasn't dispelled the curse of darkness and is currently recuperating." The Great Elder sneered. "Many forces know that we lost a Legend in our battle with the Black Angel anyway. If we use this as an excuse, they probably won't be able to find any excuse to question us. At the same time, we'll send someone else to escort the vulpera prince. Try not to let them find anything. "
Murphy nodded. "I understand. I'll deal with it now."
Roland was unaware of the petty intrigue between the Spatial Magic Tower and the Red Magic Tower.
Now he had teleported to Betta's Wetland City.
The reason why Roland came to this place again was because he received Betta's guild chat.
It was said that a guild wanted to discuss a big deal with him.
The guild wanted to buy three hundred gold coins from Roland in RMB.
Roland had been selling gold all the time.
He had hoarded the gold coins from the Magic Tower's tax for a year, and now he had almost eight hundred gold coins.
It wasn't a small number.
Roland planned to keep three to four hundred gold coins to buy the magic materials for his magic experiments.
He would exchange the rest of the gold coins for RMB in reality.
After all, he had to live in reality too.
Previously, he had been selling them in bulk, selling a few gold coins every few days. Now that there was a big business, he naturally had to teleport back.
After teleporting to Wetland City, Roland couldn't help but whistle at the magnificent city wall that had taken shape.
It had only been a few days, but the solid city wall that was about thirteen meters tall had already been established.
As expected, the Players' ability to build infrastructure was not just for show.
He entered the city and found that the layout of the city was already clear.
The roads in the city had already begun to take shape. Some were commercial streets, and some were traffic arteries. Just by looking at the width of the roads, one could roughly guess what they were.
Roland found Betta in the very center of the city.
At this moment, Betta was talking about something with a group of people. When he saw Roland coming out of the corner of his eye, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Brother Roland, come here, they're here."
Roland walked over and saw that there were five people on the other side. They were all wearing strange black leather armor, and there were faint patterns of magic arrays flowing on the armor. However, when Roland used his mental power to perceive them carefully, he found that the patterns of light did not seem to be real magic arrays.
The five people looked at Roland, their eyes shining.
It was as if they had seen something precious.
One of the players came out and said with a smile, "Thank you, Almighty Roland, for teleporting all the way here. It's inconvenient to have so many people here, can we go somewhere quieter to talk?"
"No problem." Roland nodded.
The other party was a big boss, and someone who asked for four hundred gold coins in one go, which was nearly seven million RMB.
It wasn't shabby to talk business with a big boss with a little humility.
The four of them walked to the edge of the city wall. Because it was very remote, almost no one came here.
The player who spoke just now was tall, slim, and plain-looking. It was obvious that he didn't add any Charm attribute to him, just like Roland.
"Almighty Roland, the market price of gold coins is sixteen thousand per piece. Can you make it cheaper for us to buy four hundred of them? Say, fifteen thousand per piece?
Roland clicked his tongue. "What's your name, boss? Isn't it a bit too much for you to reduce the price by four hundred thousand RMB?"
"You can just call me Carrot," said the boss with a smile. "It's business. Of course, we have to talk. We're really looking to buy gold coins. We want four hundred in one go. It'll be convenient for you to sell the goods and save you a lot of time. You should save us some money too. "
Roland thought for a moment and said, "Okay, fifteen thousand it is. You're indeed straightforward. I'll be straightforward too. "
"Thank you, almighty." Carrot was stunned, and his eyes began to drift. Although his pupils were moving, he couldn't see where they were. It seemed that he had transferred the money online. Very soon, he focused his eyes on Roland again. "The money has been transferred. Almighty Roland, please confirm it."
Roland confirmed online that he had indeed received the money.
Then, he took out four tied bags from his system Backpack and gave them to them. "You can count them."
Carrot waved his hand, and the four bags were stored in his Backpack.
Then, he said, "Almighty Roland, we need your help with something else!"
Having just completed a deal, Roland was in a good mood. He said, "Please go ahead. I'll help you as long as I can."
"Can you please die once?"
As they talked, the five of them threw out five magic scrolls.
The five layers of spatial anchors opened up in an instant, and nearly a hundred transparent spatial chains drilled out of the void, tightly stabbing into the surrounding ground, tightly locking the nearby space.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Roland subconsciously stepped back and looked at the locked space around him.
If there were only two scrolls of spatial anchors, Roland could've escaped with teleportation if he tried his best.
But five scrolls … were too unbelievable.
"It's exactly what I said." Carrot didn't seem smug or hateful at all. Instead, he said apologetically, "Please let us kill you once."
Roland got it. "So, this is a trap for me. You made a deal with me with millions of RMB so that I would let my guard down and fall into your trap."
"You can't say that. Buying gold coins is what we want to do anyway. Killing you is what we want to do too, but I think it's more convenient to do it together. "
"Then, why do you want to kill me?" Roland secretly mobilized his mental power, ready to break out of the siege. However, he still wanted to ask for more information. Now that such a huge trap had been set up, he had to find out something useful.
For example, whether or not someone had paid a hitman to kill him.
"We're Spell Breakers." Carrot smiled. "We need a chance to show ourselves to all the netizens. Otherwise, I don't think our class is meaningful. Regular Mage players are too weak to fight Warlocks and Priests. Their spells are too monotonous and can only be abused after they familiarize themselves with them once or twice. We can't kill NPC Mages casually. So, only you, the strongest Mage in the whole server, is worth our time. "
F * ck!
Even though Roland was in a good mood, he still felt that he had f * cked the Husky.
Because it was a 'game', the behavior of many players was in a state of unpredictable state.
Also, Roland felt that the enemy might've turned on a livestream.
His conjecture was indeed correct.
A livestream room named "Spell Breakers Kill Roland Online" was created five minutes ago.
At this moment, more than a hundred thousand netizens were watching the show in the room.
"Shoot. It's really a deal of millions of gold coins. They're really willing to spend so much just to kill Roland."
"How could Roland be attracted here otherwise?"
"They need those gold coins in the first place, so they're not part of the cost. There's no cost at all! It can only be said that they're good at taking advantage of the environment and events around them. "
"There's no cost? One spatial anchor scroll costs at least ten gold coins, and five scrolls cost at least fifty gold coins. It means that they've spent almost a million gold coins just to trap Roland. If that's not a great deal, what is? "
"Spell Breakers! Five of them, and they've locked the space with a super spatial anchor. Roland is dead without mobility. "
"The market is open. The market is open. Let's bet on Roland's life. If you want to participate, join the chat group. 5XXXXX! "
