He was offering too much.
In a world where 100 gold coins were considered wealthy, taking out 1,000 gold coins in one go just for the reputation of the creator of a new spell was indeed a very extravagant move.
Besides, he was willing to offer a piece of land on a commercial street in the capital of Fareins.
The piece of land couldn't be the most popular street in the city center, but it should be a second-tier one, or he wouldn't have offered it as much as a thousand gold coins.
His annual income would probably be around a hundred gold coins.
It was already an unbelievable offer full of sincerity.
However … Roland wasn't interested at all.
As for money … The Church of Magic's teleportation array was already under implementation. In half a year, Roland would receive a considerable "commission" every month. At the beginning, it would be a dozen gold coins a month, and as the magic array was established, it would gradually rise to hundreds or even thousands of gold coins a month.
The Church of Magic would be even more greedy.
Would he be short of money later?
No … He wasn't short of money even now.
Two months ago, he sold a lot of Dragon Meat Reagent, and his coffers were full again.
As for the land … Betta granted him a large piece of land in Wetland City for him to build a magic school and other supporting industries.
Although Wetland City wasn't as prosperous as the capital of Fareins, it already had the aura of a big market and a metropolis.
After all, when Betta was building the city, a few of his friends who worked in the Bureau of Land Laws gave him suggestions. In terms of infrastructure, the matching of supporting facilities, and the layout were miles ahead of the capital of Fareins.
Besides, a lot of players were gathered here, which ensured that it was a relatively fair and just city.
Such a city was perfect for living and doing business.
It wouldn't be long before Wetland City became the most prosperous city in the world. Even if it wasn't the most prosperous, it would still be one of the best.
Roland's piece of land in Wetland City wasn't small at all.
So, Roland didn't care about the other party's offer at all, although it sounded really wonderful.
Besides, his goal was to build a floating city. For him, he didn't need too much land as long as he had it.
After all, no matter how powerful and valuable the land was, it couldn't compare to his floating city.
So, he shook his head and said to Field, "Sorry, I'm not tempted by your offer."
After saying that, he turned around to leave.
At this moment, Field continued, "Mr. Lauren, you can offer and bargain in business. I don't know much about you, but you can tell me what you want. In life, there are always some things that you need but can't get for the time being. No matter what you want, I can try to get it for you. "
Roland turned around and looked at Field.
The other party's eyes were filled with sincerity and sincerity.
Whether this was acting or not, at least it gave off a good impression. His attitude was very serious.
After a brief silence, Roland said, "In fact, I don't lack many things in this world anymore. If I had to describe it, it would probably be unique magical knowledge, but you might not be able to help me find it. After all, you have to get the rights to invent a spell from me. "
Hearing this, Field smiled bitterly.
"That's true … A genius like you with such strength is indeed not lacking in anything."
His face was full of disappointment, but he quickly pulled himself together and slowly said, "But no matter what, what I said is still valid. As long as you are willing, or if you have any needs, please do not hesitate to look for me."
After saying that, he slightly nodded and was about to leave.
But at this moment, Roland suddenly said, "Actually, it's not entirely impossible … It seems that you are a big shot in Fareins. Then, does your family have a say in the magic material market?"
Hearing that, Field smiled. "Perhaps you don't know much about my family, sir, so let me introduce it to you in detail. The Julian family, the Duke of Fareins, has a fief in Shatterwood County. Apart from two thousand elite cavalrymen, the family also has thirty thousand infantrymen. It's only a medium military force in the entire Fareins Kingdom, but the best thing about my family is that we're good at business. My uncles, aunts, and other uncles monopolize many businesses in Fareins that are not that important, such as furs, building materials, lamp oil, and paper. We're also involved in most magic materials. Although we don't monopolize them, our share is not small either. "
Hearing that, Roland couldn't help but whistle.
That was a family that integrated arms and business.
No wonder they could support two thousand elite cavalrymen.
That was a huge source of income.
The money to support one cavalryman could support at least twenty infantrymen.
This was a truly wealthy person. No wonder he could bring out thousands of gold coins and an extremely good piece of land in one go.
Field put on an expectant expression. "So, what kind of magic materials do you want, sir? How much do you want?"
"I'll give you a list tomorrow." Roland thought for a moment and continued, "However, the quantity and variety may be higher, but the price shouldn't be as high as what you offered before. It's just a little troublesome. Are you willing to do it?"
"Yes, of course I am." Field seemed rather happy. "Then it's a deal."
Roland nodded. Then, he thought for a moment and said, "But do you have to ask for the food-making spell? Many people know that I'm going to invent the food-making spell. They won't be suspicious if I suddenly choose you. "
"I understand." Field shrugged helplessly. "It would be better if you have other new inventions that don't involve sacrificial spells. I understand how difficult it is to invent a new spell …"
"I do."
"It's not easy to be inspired by new spells. I've already considered that. I'll try to reduce that …" Field finally realized what he meant. He looked at Roland in surprise. "What did you say? You have a new invention that you haven't offered to the Goddess of Magic yet?"
Roland nodded.
Field took a deep breath. "Sir, you're too awesome."
"It's just so-so. I just have occasional inspirations."
Field put on a bitter smile. Occasional inspirations?
You've already offered oil-making and water-making spells, and you're working on food-making spells. That's already outrageous. I didn't expect that you would have a new spell that you haven't offered yet. Under normal circumstances, when a mage created a new spell, which of them didn't want the whole world to know about it?
Except for the evil Necromancers who were hiding.
Although he was a little jealous, Field also understood that talent was not something that could be reasoned with.
Just like himself, if he was born well, he would be able to surpass most people at birth. Wasn't that also a talent?
Besides, the rich kids couldn't compete with geniuses in the future.
Very soon, Field adjusted his attitude and asked, "May I ask what kind of spell it is?"
"It's a flight spell," said Roland with a smile.
"A flight spell?"
Field hesitated, because Wind Soaring, a common flight spell, had been used by all the Mages for hundreds of years.
Being old didn't necessarily mean that it was bad; it was more of a symbol of stability and safety.
Could the new flying spell compare to the old Wind Soaring spell?
Seeing his confusion, Roland said with a smile, "Let's meet in the woods in the east tomorrow. There's nobody there. I'll demonstrate it for you and give you the list of magic materials."
"Okay."
Field was greatly reassured. It wouldn't be a problem if he could see the goods. As long as the spell was as versatile as the food-making spell, or not too far behind, he would definitely be willing to make a deal.
Then, they parted.
Roland went to the cafeteria to study some dishes.
He had to admit that the chefs in the Transmutation Magic Tower were good. They were good at both the pastries and the main dishes.
When Roland was full and was about to pack up and leave, a young Mage suddenly appeared in front of him.
He stood before Roland proudly, but he still bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Roland. I'm Joby Robert."
"Hello." Roland picked up the tableware and asked, "How can I help you?"
"I'm told that Field Julian met you in private." The young Mage stared straight into Roland's eyes and seemed rather aggressive. "May I ask what you talked about?"
Roland was briefly stunned. "That's very rude."
"I know." Robert said with a smile, "But my father is the Great Elder of the Transmutation Magic Tower. I can help you with whatever spell you want to learn or find a spell model. I just want to know what Julian is up to. "
"That's none of your business." Roland shook his head. Unwilling to talk to the man anymore, he turned around and left.
But Robert quickly walked close to Roland and said in a low voice, "Mr. Roland, I don't mean to be your enemy. I just want to know about Julian."
"Do you have a grudge?" Roland chuckled. "Then you can go after him. Why are you coming to me?"
He found the young man's words interesting. You don't want to be my enemy … Isn't that obvious hostility? If I don't listen to you, you'll probably threaten me next.
Robert heaved a sigh. "Mr. Roland, I'm very serious and sincere. So … Can you tell me about it? All the files in the Transmutation Magic Tower are open to you, but if you're unwilling … "
"I don't want to talk about it," Roland interrupted him. Roland interrupted him, then stood still, looked at him, and said, "So, whether you want to threaten me or frame me, you can start now."
Robert's expression became a little angry, but he did not say anything threatening. He just suppressed his anger and said as calmly as possible, "Your Excellency, you don't need to get involved in our fight. It's meaningless, and it's not good for you."
Roland smiled after hearing that. "It's true that I don't want to get involved in your conflict, but he and I have some personal business to take care of. After that, I'll walk on my elven path, and he'll walk on his beastman path. Whatever happens between you two is none of my business."
"But if you talk to him in private, it's very likely that you'll get involved in our business."
Roland shrugged. "That's none of my business. I'm here to study magic, not to mess around with you, understand? Don't piss me off. If you think I'm arrogant, you can ask around and find out why the Spatial Magic Tower is gone. "
Robert immediately fell silent.
He did think that Roland was arrogant, even more so than him, the son of the Great Elder.
However, he knew about the disappearance of the Spatial Magic Tower. It sounded like Roland played a major role in it.
The students of the Transmutation Magic Tower weren't interested in the outside world. They were more interested in learning and studying magic.
However, the leadership should know about it.
He couldn't figure out Roland's background at this moment. He planned to ask his father about it.
"It seems that you're very good." Robert sighed. "But I still want to give you a piece of advice. Don't get too involved with Ferde unless you're stronger than a Legendary Magician or more powerful than the Robert family."
After that, Robert left.
Roland shook his head.
Many people around them heard the conversation between the two of them.
Originally, many people wanted to cozy up to Roland and even wanted to get to know him after Roland finished his meal. However, after seeing this scene and hearing their conversation, many people temporarily gave up on this idea.
After all, Robert was the son of the Great Elder, and Roland … seemed to be just a talented genius.
It was better to wait and see until the situation was clear.
Roland didn't mind it at all, but he was even happier.
As a Mage, he didn't like frequent social activities.
It was a waste of time.
Then, he went to the library and borrowed a few books on the principles of matter transformation with his level-three clearance.
They were all the notes of the big shots of the Transmutation Magic School who had passed away.
The item transformation spell should be called Ore Transformation Spell, because it could only transform minerals.
Roland studied the series of minerals that could be transformed, only to discover that they were all metal minerals.
Copper and iron revolved around each other, and silver and gold revolved around each other. These four common metals revolved around each other.
However, nobody made money with this spell.
Although gold was valuable, it would be a loss to transform copper and iron into gold … For some reason, transforming other metals into gold not only required a huge consumption of magic power, but the effect was also very low. Often, tens of thousands of equal portions of copper and iron could only be transformed into one portion of gold. It was the same for copper and iron to be transformed into silver, which was more of a loss than gold.
The ability seemed useless at first glance, but when copper and iron were needed for weapons at a critical moment and the materials were unavailable, one could exchange one portion of gold for thousands of portions of copper and iron.
However, it would still be a loss, and it was just a stopgap.
So, it was more suitable to transform copper and iron, or gold and silver.
One of the books mentioned that the author had transformed one third of copper into mercury, as well as other weird metal minerals, but he didn't know their specific composition or their function.
Also, the accidental transformations were highly random and difficult to be transformed again.
The book speculated that it might be because he was too fond of randomly adjusting the input of magic power, but his own control of magic power was poor, so the metal minerals that appeared after each transformation were different.
Also, the transformation effect was very low. Often, only one out of ten materials could be transformed.
Roland was rather shocked when he read that.
The essence of the Item Transformation Spell was to decompose matter into elementary particles and then rearrange and reassemble them into new matter!
Although the spell could only transform metals for now, Roland believed that he could definitely transform other materials as long as he found the internal structure of the spell.
If he could find the pattern … Roland smiled. Even if he couldn't create food with the spell, it was still a very practical spell.
After all, many special metals were quite useful. At the very least, he could use them to build his own weapons and armor.
