In fact, Roland didn't want to be involved in the political struggles and framings, but Mages were a class that required resources.
Not only did they need material resources, but they also needed connections.
He felt that he had made it to where he was at such a high speed only because he had the advantage of connections.
At the spawn point, Falken, the old Priest, had given him help and hints, or he wouldn't have been able to cast spells so quickly.
After he came to Delpon, he met Aldo, became the deputy chairman of the Magic Tower in Delpon, and earned a monthly salary. That was the foundation for him to get started.
Then, he met Ans, Andonara, and other people who helped him a lot.
He also had a bunch of friends who supported him in secret.
They would come whenever there was an important mission.
He gathered his resources and joined the Red Magic Tower.
After so many things, Roland felt that it was useful for Mages to train hard, but he had to acquire resources, too.
He needed resources both in terms of magic materials and connections.
Thinking for a moment, Roland asked, "Okay, how can I help?"
"Put in a good word for us in front of the First Princess and curse Young Martin. It's as simple as that."
Roland looked at Grantham calmly.
The man was smiling. In the moonlight, it was a gentle smile, but it gave the feeling that he was sneering now and then.
A few words could decide a person's future.
This man was smart enough to play politics.
No wonder he became a Legend.
Warriors were the most populous class, but they had the lowest proportion of Legends among all the classes.
That was because Warriors weren't well-educated on average.
Whenever Roland had time, he would collect books.
He had collected a lot of books about the Red Magic Tower and the Spatial Magic Tower.
Moreover, he specialized in reading books related to magic and professions.
When he was too tired, he would read books about local customs.
It was safe to say that, because the players didn't need to sleep, Roland had several more hours to read or do experiments than the Mages in this world.
The more you read, the more you'll know about all sorts of little things.
For example, Roland learned that Mages had the highest percentage of Legends, followed by Bards.
These two professions were professions that required a large amount of 'knowledge' to be learned.
Mages aside, almost all high-level bards were walking dictionaries.
These craftsmen, who were proficient in all kinds of musical instruments, traveled far and wide. As long as there were intelligent creatures, they would visit them.
He was used to seeing the joys and sorrows of the world.
Then, they were literate. What they saw and heard were written into biographies or music.
Experience the power of the spirit from the emotions of others.
Therefore, those who could become Legends were very knowledgeable and experienced.
In comparison, warriors who ate large chunks of meat and drank large bowls of wine were mostly too lazy to learn.
If he encountered an enemy, he would just chop them down.
If they encountered any difficulties, they would just rush forward and be done with it.
To become a legend, one had to understand the true meaning of spirit.
It just so happened that this was the specialty of mages.
They were also the pursuit of Bards, so it was not difficult to understand why these two professions had a high chance of becoming Legendary.
Therefore, to a certain extent, a Legendary Warrior might be much more terrifying than a Legendary Mage.
"Okay, no problem." Roland nodded. "What's your price, Mr. Grantham?"
"Add another thirty kilograms of Meteorite Ore."
Roland frowned.
"That's our last Meteorite Ore." Grantham opened his hands. "Maybe it's not enough for you, but we can do it in a different way. For example, we can make friends."
On the surface, it seemed that Roland had made a great deal by exchanging a few words with thirty kilograms.
However, Roland had suffered a loss from the inner circle.
First of all, a favor was a mutual thing.
Although Roland and Andonara had been protecting the First Princess recently, she had also lent her territory to Roland, and Roland was in charge of taxation and power.
She had only made such a huge investment because Roland was capable of building a floating city in the future.
And now, asking the First Princess to help remove Martin from the position of Young Martin's father-in-law … the things involved would be very troublesome.
Of course, in terms of price, Young Martin couldn't be as important as the taxation and supervision of a city.
But … the territory was his, and Stephanie could do whatever she wanted with it.
Removing Young Martin, on the other hand, involved the competition between different forces. Roland felt that the First Princess would definitely agree to help him if he asked, but would she be more involved in the political struggles in the capital, which would affect her plans and even affect her chances of inheriting the royal family in the future?
Unlike asking her to take him to the banquet, he would be involved in trouble. In other people's eyes, she wasn't aggressive.
But in relieving young Martin of his office, it became a matter of initiative.
She had to consider how other forces and people would view her, and whether or not there would be a power struggle.
So, it was easy for Roland to ask for help, but it would involve a lot of things.
If the First Princess was involved in too many things, the stability of her territory might be affected.
It might indirectly affect Roland's progress in making magic power bricks.
Seeing that Roland was still considering, Grantham said with a smile, "What are you thinking about, sir? It's only a few words."
As if woken up by him, Roland shook his head. "I can't agree to that. I'm not that influential in front of the First Princess! "
"I see." Grantham heaved a sigh and said regretfully, "In any case, we're still friends. You can come to the Guild of Warriors if you have any trouble in the future. We'll try our best to help you. "
"That won't be a problem." Roland nodded.
He didn't take Grantham's words seriously.
They were just being polite.
The two parties left.
Roland returned to the First Princess's manor.
At this moment, the First Princess was sipping fruit wine on the balcony.
The wine had a low alcohol content and couldn't go to her head no matter how much she drank. However, Stephanie's cheeks were still flushed.
She looked particularly beautiful under the pure moonlight.
Roland sat down on her opposite side and asked with a smile, "Drinking alone?"
"No!" Stephanie shook her head. "Do you need me to find a way to remove Young Martin's position as chairman?"
She stared at Roland with misty eyes, as if she were drunk.
Roland shook his head. "No."
"Why?"
"It's too troublesome."
Hearing that, Stephanie smiled. She voluntarily poured half a cup of fruit wine for Roland. Then, before Roland picked up the cup, she simply clinked her own cup with the one that was still on the table, casually and quickly.
"Thank you." Stephanie smiled happily. Her expression was sincere and gentle, as if she had taken off a mask. "You're willing to treat me as a friend."
Roland was smart and had a high EQ. He understood what Stephanie meant.
It meant that from now on, Stephanie would no longer regard him as a collaborator, but a trustworthy partner.
They had known each other for about half a year.
It wasn't until this moment that they were really close.
Their minds were like two hedgehogs with thorns all over their bodies. Neither of them dared to lower their guard, fearing that they would be stabbed by the other party.
However, some of the thorns in one's mind were naturally soft. They might look hard, but they wouldn't be hurt even if you approached them.
That was, unless you stabbed them hard first.
It had taken Stephanie half a year, and after what happened tonight, she finally realized that.
So, she unhesitatingly dropped all her guard.
Roland picked up the cup, motioned to her, and drained it in one gulp.
"All right, leave me twenty Dragon Bone Potions. I can get you something good, and then you can go back to Delpon." Stephanie smiled. "If you don't go back, I reckon Andonara will want to kill me."
"She's not that fierce." As Roland spoke, he took out the Dragon Meat Reagent and placed it on the table.
"Are you sure? If you dare to stay here overnight, I'll run away first. " Stephanie sneered. "I don't want to be cut into several pieces by another good friend of mine."
Roland thought about it and found that it seemed possible, so he teleported back to Delpon.
Stephanie looked at the place where Roland disappeared, smiled happily, and then asked the butler to come over and put away the Dragon Meat Reagent.
Roland returned to Delpon and rested for two days.
During this period of time, he was indeed tired. Not physically tired, but mentally tired.
If he wasn't studying magic, he was doing quests. He didn't rest at all.
However, he had been spending time with Andonara and Vivian for the past two days.
Although he was resting, it didn't feel like he was resting at all.
His spirit felt very happy, but his body felt so empty.
It was a rather subtle feeling. Roland couldn't figure out if this was a rest or not.
Then he sent a message to the guild chat room.
Roland: "You're all Masters, right? Four of you, let's team up to complete an epic dungeon quest."
He felt that he could proceed with the follow-up of the True Ancestor quest.
Schuck: "I'll be there soon on Margret."
Li Lin: "Me, Brazil, and Raffel are still at the Church of Love in the capital of Urganda. It's too far to go back on horseback. It'll take days. Roland, come and pick us up."
The three of them had been spending every day at the Church of Love in Urganda, using the power of dual cultivation, and had now successfully become Masters.
That was why Roland initiated a gathering for the quest.
Roland: "Okay, but wash yourself clean. You must stink after a lot of exercise."
Li Lin: "All the female Priests know Cleaning, brother."
Roland: "Then wait. I'll buy a map of Urganda first … I should be able to find you in 24 hours."
The matter was settled in a few words.
The True Ancestor of vampires … Roland thought for a moment and found Christina, whom he had neglected for a long time.
"Do you know anything about the True Ancestor of vampires?"
Christina, who had now grown fair and smooth, widened her eyes. "Boss, are you finally extending your evil hands to little girls? I thought you only liked wives and widows, so I was planning to find someone to marry first and then kill him. "
Roland:???
