Through the window, a spot of light fell on half of Aldo's face.
While he was laughing, he looked at the light on one side and the darkness on the other.
He even laughed so hard that there were tears in his eyes.
Roland sensed maliciousness, but the maliciousness wasn't directed at him, but at something else.
Roland simply watched him in silence.
Aldo didn't stop until he laughed for a few minutes. He used his fingers to elegantly wipe away the tears at the corners of his eyes and said with a rather happy smile, "I'm sorry to let you see my ugly side."
Roland shook his head.
Aldo stood up and looked at Roland condescendingly. "Since you're not scared, I'll submit the magic model to the leadership of the association. It'll be quite an earthquake. You have to be prepared. "
Without waiting for Roland to react, Aldo turned around and left. Just when Roland was puzzled, Aldo returned. He stood at the door and said somewhat impressively, "By the way, I came here to tell you that tonight is the birthday party of the youngest daughter of the Charles Family. Her brother, John, somehow learned your name and wants to invite you to attend, so he asked me to invite you. This is the invitation."
An invitation was placed on the table.
Smiling at Roland, Aldo left. He went down from the eighth floor to the second floor, summoned all the magic apprentices with a bell, and announced to them, "Thank your deputy chairman. Under his strong insistence, the model of Hand of Magic has become a free item again, but remember, try not to leak it."
After a brief daze …
The magic apprentices all cheered loudly. "Great! Thank you, Deputy Chairman Aldo! "
"Thank you, Chairman Aldo!"
Looking at the excited magic apprentices, Aldo made a copy of the model of Hand of Magic with a smile and left the Magic Tower.
After Aldo left, the magic apprentices pinned the model on the bulletin board again.
The group of people looked at the node diagram in front of them with satisfaction. With such detailed annotations, even without a teacher to teach them, they could still understand it.
If they still couldn't understand it, it would be a problem of their intelligence, and they were definitely not suitable to be Mages.
A few of the more lively apprentices said to a female apprentice nearby, "Vivian, there's nothing we can do to thank Branch Chairman Roland. We're counting on you. Try our best too."
After hearing this, Vivian's face was as red as rouge. She lightly stomped her feet and turned around to return to her room.
After resting in his room for a while, Roland left the Magic Tower, intending to talk to Betta about something.
As soon as he got out of the square, he saw Betta walking toward him from the opposite direction.
The two of them walked together and found a shady place to sit.
"How's the situation on your side?" Roland took the initiative to ask.
Betta shook his head. "It's not good. I told them the seriousness of the matter, but they were unwilling to leave. The man of the house actually hoped that I could always protect them. "
Roland chuckled and shook his head, rather speechless.
"I don't understand what he's thinking. How could he say something so shameless?" Betta sat in a daze.
Roland, however, was not surprised and said, "You're a good person! As I said before, good people are easily bullied. The poorer and more desperate people are, the more they won't let go of an opportunity. The man's reaction is actually quite normal. "
"What kind of opportunity am I?" Betta frowned.
"An opportunity to step out of the bottom," Roland explained. Roland explained, "As long as you stay by his side and protect his family, he will be free to do a lot of things. He can even make use of your abilities or influence. Even if you can't become a noble, you can at least become someone with some influence, and you won't have to suffer as much as you do now."
After a brief silence, Betta said, "I still don't understand."
"Such things actually happen a lot in the real world," Roland explained. Roland explained, "There are some celebrities who sponsor some poor students and are responsible for their tuition fees from primary school to university! As a result, the students shed tears of gratitude at first, then they get used to it halfway, and eventually they grow resentful. If you're so rich, why don't you give more? Some of the more extreme ones even took the sponsors to court. "
Betta thought for a moment. He remembered that he did read similar news, but he was too young at that time to feel much.
Now that it happened to him, he felt rather uncomfortable.
Roland continued with a smile, "Our ancestors saw through these things a long time ago. That's why they say that people in need don't help the poor. It's a deep-rooted bad habit of many people, regardless of race, age, or gender. If I were in such an environment and met a sucker like you, I would probably try my best to fleece you too! "
After Roland's enlightenment, Betta was finally in a better mood. Sitting on the stone steps, he looked at the blue sky far away and said, "However, the girl that we rescued just came to me in private and said that she was willing to leave this city, but she didn't know where she should go!"
"What do you think?" Roland looked at Betta.
"I don't know." Betta looked rather confused.
Roland thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you can take her with you."
Hearing that, Betta's eyes widened.
"You're a noble right now. You just don't have a territory, "Roland explained." Isn't it normal for a noble to be served by a girl? If my guess is correct, you will most likely receive special quests in the future, and you will obtain a real noble title or territory. At that time, after being trained by you, this girl will most likely be able to stand on her own and become your head maid. "
Betta coughed in fear and said, blushing, "Why do I feel that it's a decadent feudal atmosphere?"
Roland squinted at him and said in disdain, "It's just a chief maid. It's a serious profession. You must be mistaken."
"I didn't. It's not me. Don't accuse me!" Betta said decisively.
Heh! Roland wouldn't believe him at all.
Betta then awkwardly changed the topic. "Right, someone just sent me an invitation saying that there's a banquet tonight and wants me to attend it."
"Actually, I received it too." Roland took out the invitation from his Backpack and waved it in front of Betta. "It seems that our actions are all under someone's surveillance."
Betta immediately took out his invitation. As he expected, the two invitations were of the same color and style.
"Then let's go together at night."
"You can go!" Roland snorted. "But I'm not going. If he sends a random invitation to me, I'll have to tremble and run over to attend it. How shameless of me! "
Betta looked at him in surprise. "Brother Roland, I feel that you're full of hypocrisy."
Roland shrugged. "Actually, I feel that something isn't right. This banquet might've been specially organized for the two of us."
Betta was briefly stunned. "Huh?"
