It was no wonder that the previously valiant Solisa would have such an expression.
She was the only daughter of a small boss in reality, and she had enough money for herself.
It didn't take much money to establish a loose and free guild of players.
But after building the Summoning Magic Tower, she realized that she really didn't have enough money.
With a fixed base, house maintenance and furniture renovation would all cost money.
Then basic food would have to be prepared, and then some necessary clothes would have to be prepared.
For example, the school uniform of the Summoning Magic Tower would have to be made of good fabric and had to be cut.
Materials were money, and so was labor.
Although the elves' summoning spells could be learned when they reached a certain level, there would be extra spell slots after reaching the Master level, and then they would have to learn new spells on their own.
So spell models had to be prepared too.
From low-level to high-level.
You could choose not to learn magic, but as an organization, a magic association, the number and variety of spell models were also important factors in determining whether or not it had a promising future.
Female Elven Summoners were very, very strong, could form an army, and had the ability to make money on their own.
But if you wanted to recruit female NPC Mages in the game, they didn't have that ability. At the very least, you had to solve some of their livelihood problems.
That also cost money.
So recently, Solisa was very short of money.
She felt that the Magic Tower she built was a bottomless pit, a gold-swallowing monster. The little bit of money she had saved after four years of playing the game and doing quests was almost gone in less than half a year.
Fortunately, Roland had recently provided her with a lot of funds.
Then, he gave her a reward of five hundred gold coins in advance.
This made Solisa breathe a sigh of relief, and she no longer had the urge to sell herself to raise money.
But when she thought that she might go back to the days when she couldn't make ends meet after Roland's funds ran out, she felt a headache.
So now she planned to let go of her pride and cling to Roland, the tycoon.
As for why she didn't cling to the famous streamers, the tycoons in reality?
In fact, someone on the forum had already estimated that the money Roland had earned in the past four years of playing the game, the money he spent on his Magic Tower in Delpon City, on his own equipment, on the magic school, and so on, was definitely more than a hundred million in real money.
In comparison, Principal Huang and the other tycoons and celebrities did not spend much money.
He had to admit that Solisa was quite capable to make the Phoenix Guild the largest guild in the game.
Just this woman's perceptual intuition alone made her take the right move again.
Roland looked at Solisa, who was smiling seductively, with a slightly surprised expression.
Not to mention him, even the other four girls felt the same way.
It was because Solisa had always given the impression that she was strong and independent. The Phoenix Guild had never relied on a man.
But when Roland saw the helplessness hidden under Solisa's charming smile, he immediately understood.
He himself was the leader of a force, and he knew that to support an organization, not only did he need mental strength, he also needed financial resources.
"Okay, if we really fight later, you'll protect me." Roland thought for a moment. "Is five gold coins per person enough?"
Apart from Solisa, the other four girls were all rather excited.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen money before, but there were very few quests where they could get one gold coin, not to mention five gold coins.
Solisa smiled. Five gold coins were quite a lot, but it wasn't enough for a force.
But it was better than nothing.
"Okay, okay." The girl who carried Roland here on the white horse waved her right hand energetically. "Boss, if you pay us enough, we'll certainly do what we need. Don't worry, those enemies will have to pass through the protection of our army of summoned beasts if they want to hurt you."
As she spoke, the other four female Summoners had already summoned their own beasts.
All of a sudden, they were surrounded by all kinds of strange species.
There were forest deer girls with exposed breasts, four-legged beasts with mushroom heads, and so on.
Because of the Elven Summoner's talent of Forest Concealment, the waves of summoning spells were perfectly hidden in the forest and wouldn't spread far, so the fluctuations of magic power couldn't be sensed from the lich camp that was only one mountain away.
Solisa sat on her unicorn, then she summoned a forest white horse, pointed at it, and said, "Sit on it, and we'll take you to the top of the mountain."
Roland jumped onto the horse. The forest white horse was famous for its violence, but under the control of a Summoner, it was frighteningly docile.
Then, the unicorn cleared the way, and the forest before them parted like Moses parting the sea.
A straight path led to the top of the mountain. The unicorn carried Solisa in the lead, followed by Roland and four girls who were also riding white horses.
Further behind them was a dense army of summoned beasts.
Although Roland could evaporate all the summoned beasts with a blue fireball when he flew, the army of five was truly charming.
Very soon, the six of them reached the top of the mountain.
A lot of summoned beasts were lurking in the low ground behind them.
Roland and the others stood in the tall grasses and looked ahead through the gaps of the green leaves.
This was a basin surrounded by mountains. It wasn't very large, but it was big enough to accommodate a town.
A lot of altars and weird bone buildings were neatly arranged in the basin. Vaguely, a lot of moving white objects were walking on the road.
"There's a barrier here that can block the dispersion of dark magic power." Solisa comforted the anxious unicorn. "That's why we didn't notice them until we were very close."
"It's a delicate magic array. It's quite interesting."
As the strongest Mage among the players, Roland sensed the existence of the magic array the moment he arrived. He dropped three magic spiders.
The three little things quickly climbed down the mountain peak, passed through the barrier, and entered the lich camp.
The five girls all looked rather wary as they watched the three spiders disappear.
In the end, it was Solisa who said, "Roland, can you not spread the spell model of that thing in the future?"
"Why?"
"It's too good at scouting," Solisa said with some disdain. "You're an upright person and won't use it for anything bad, but if it gets out, all the Mages will learn it in the future. I'm afraid that we women will tremble in fear when we take a shower."
"Oh …" Roland felt that she had a good point.
Indeed, after a dozen optimizations, the spell model of the magic spiders was quite simple and consumed little magic power. Even magic apprentices could easily learn it as long as they knew the method.
When too many people knew this thing, there would indeed be people who used it for bad things.
"Okay, I can promise you that." Roland thought for a moment and said, "But I can't guarantee that other player Mages won't come up with their own ideas from my magic spiders and come up with similar spells. Just don't suspect me when the time comes. "
Roland never thought that he was the only smart person in the world.
After other players found a reasonable way to use magic power, they would certainly follow their own path of magic.
All Roland could do was to keep moving forward and not let himself fall behind.
"I'm glad to hear that." Solisa's expression relaxed.
At this moment, Roland suddenly turned his head and looked at the lich camp. The magic spiders began to send back pictures and sounds.
The lich camp was filled with dark magic power, which couldn't disperse to the outside world because it was blocked by the barrier.
Even the ground was polluted by magic power and filled with an ominous gray color.
The road was full of skeletons. They moved in groups of two or three, mechanically carrying a lot of objects.
Roland even saw them carrying human bodies to different altars in different directions.
Three magic spiders were scouting separately in the camp, specifically going through the hidden gaps or climbing in some inconspicuous places.
More and more pictures were sent to Roland's head.
All the altars were made of greyish-yellow bones. A large number of leg bones and rib bones were used to build the base of the altar. Then, at the top of the altar, there were human skulls lined up next to each other. The round skulls formed the slightly uneven top of the altar.
Many altars had corpses on them.
Some of these corpses were highly decayed, and some looked intact as if they had just died, with even the color of blood on their faces.
The magic spiders continued to sneak through the camp, and about an hour later, one of the spiders finally found a place that was different from the others.
A hole in the ground.
And on the mud at the entrance of the hole, there were obviously messy footprints.
Footprints!
The footprints of skeletons didn't look like this.
Roland controlled the magic spiders to crawl in.
The floor and walls of the cave were all paved with a strange kind of blue bricks with magic patterns.
The range of vision of the magic spiders wasn't very large, and it was difficult to see the full picture of these patterns, but judging from their direction, they should be the lines of some kind of barrier.
But it was definitely not a barrier used to block magic power.
The magic spider crawled against the wall for a while, and then Roland found that the pictures it sent back were getting darker and darker.
At first, Roland thought it was because the cave was too dark, but after crawling for a while, the pictures sent back by the magic spider even showed patterns that looked like pixels.
"No, this is magic power absorption?"
Roland froze for a moment.
Then, another picture was sent to Roland's mind.
In the extremely blurry, even distorted picture, a man wearing a wolf-shaped mask and a magic robe could barely be seen, pointing his finger at Roland.
He was actually pointing at the magic spider, but from a first-person perspective, it seemed to be pointing at Roland.
This was the last picture sent back by the magic spider.
At the same time, Roland suddenly covered his head and took two steps back.
Two streams of black gas gushed out of his eyes and spread around.
It looked a little scary.
This sudden turn of events caused the five girls' expressions to change drastically, and they quickly retreated.
"We've been discovered." Roland pressed his head and shouted, "Please have the summoned beasts seal this basin, and don't let any of them go."
The other four girls were very obedient, and they took action the moment Roland gave the order.
A large number of summoned beasts moved almost at the same time, divided into two lines, running around the left and right of the mountain, and occupying every mountaintop they passed.
More and more black gas emerged from Roland's head, and soon he was enveloped.
"What's wrong with you?" Solisa asked from the side, then she said in annoyance, "I don't know much about magic, can I use Dispel on this thing?"
"No." Roland's voice came out of the black fog. "This thing devours flesh and blood, and it's a very powerful curse. Now most of my body has been invaded, and if you use Dispel, you'll essentially be dispelling me. "
"Then what do we do?" Solisa asked anxiously.
"Wait a moment, I'll take care of it myself."
Roland's voice grew fainter and fainter, and his body in the black fog also prostrated as if he was about to fall.
But at this moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the black fog, and then the light grew brighter and brighter, until it turned into a blue man of fire and stood up again.
"I almost died."
Roland, who had turned into a man of fire, spoke in a muffled voice.
Solisa heaved a sigh of relief.
Just now, Roland had been cursed with flesh and blood.
Roland had only read about this spell in books, and it was the first time he had seen it in real life.
It was one of the liches' signature spells.
It was the product of a combination of spells and prophecy.
It could locate the target by using the target's information … This information could be the target's magic power, hair, flesh, or even name!
Of course, the more specific the information was, the easier it would be to locate the target.
Locating with magic power was already very powerful, and if it could be located with the target's name, it would definitely be a Demigod lich.
So, the lich just now used the magic power of the magic spider to directly cast a flesh and blood curse on Roland along the mental control line.
If it couldn't be lifted in a certain time, the curse would devour all the flesh and blood of the target, and then an undying skeleton would stand up from the body and be controlled by the lich.
This move alone showed that the opponent was strong. Roland's magic resistance and Magic Shield didn't work.
He was directly hit.
Fortunately, Roland immediately activated elemental transformation and turned into a man of fire.
Although the flesh and blood curse was indeed powerful, it had a casting condition, which was that it had to curse a living creature with flesh and blood.
Cursing elemental creatures had no effect at all.
The blue flames reached nearly three thousand degrees, quickly igniting the surrounding grass and burning away all the dark magic that invaded Roland.
"A wolf-shaped mask and such a vicious spell. It seems that you are the people I've been looking for."
Roland knew that he had no room to hold back. The opponent's strength was very strange.
He flipped his fiery palm, and the blue fireball quickly expanded.
Seeing this, Solisa immediately took the summoned beast away from Roland.
The enemy was about to release a nuclear bomb. If they didn't run away, were they going to die?
A large amount of fire elements were absorbed by Roland into the blue fireball, which grew larger and larger.
When it reached a diameter of about three meters, it was already brighter than the sun in the sky.
The fire elemental body that Roland turned into was inanimate and couldn't make any expression on his face, but even from a distance, Solisa could feel that Roland seemed to be grinning hideously.
How vindictive, this man!
In Solisa's exclamation, an enormous fireball was thrown out.
As it flew further and further away, its body seemed to become smaller and smaller due to the distance.
No matter how big or small it was, no matter how close or far it was, in the eyes of the other four girls, this fireball was the brightest.
The environment was dimming, as if it were setting off the fireball.
In the end, it turned into a tiny spot of light and landed at the very center of the basin.
"Bang!"
Solisa added a sound effect to the fireball that landed. She put her hands together and opened them, making a blooming gesture.
At this moment, the dazzling light seemed to swallow the whole world.
