Andonara was rather pissed.
What her man did had nothing to do with you and your daughter.
But then, she realized what Nia meant.
What? Roland was going to be a lich?
She was frightened by this.
She did not care whether Roland was handsome or not, did not care whether he was rich or not, and did not care whether he was strong or not.
But her man had to be a warm-blooded animal.
Her heart would be broken if she hugged a lich who was like an ice cube and had no human feelings at all.
She quickly walked to Roland, grabbed his hands, and said anxiously, "Darling, don't be so hard on yourself. I'll just leave you alone, okay?"
She even suspected that she had squeezed Roland too hard recently, which made him a little tired of it.
Was that why he wanted to cut it for eternity?
She had to admit that when someone was living in your house, you would have wild thoughts if they did anything.
Roland looked at the two women in surprise. Then, he realized why they were so anxious and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I don't want to be a lich. I just want to figure out the phylactery so that I can locate it."
Hearing this, the two women were relieved.
Andonara was still slightly worried. She stared at the phylactery in Roland's hand fiercely, as if she wanted to destroy it.
Nia had a similar look on her face.
It was just that their starting point was subtly different.
In fact, they couldn't be blamed for being so excited. In this world, the lich's academic knowledge had an unbelievable and bewitching power.
It was unknown how many heroes had fallen into depravity after just a glance at the lich's knowledge.
There were very few people who could resist such temptation.
It was also the reason why the major Magic Towers and churches didn't dare to put the lich's knowledge in their libraries.
Seeing them like that, Roland thought for a moment and said, "I'm really just doing research. If you don't believe me, you can watch me in the lab. How does that sound?"
Nia immediately nodded. "Okay, no problem."
After a moment of hesitation, Andonara also nodded.
She should've trusted Roland more, but she cared too much about him, so she was worried.
Then, Roland went to the lab.
To be honest, he had no idea what a phylactery was. He was afraid that he might accidentally break the phylactery during his research and let the Lich inside escape.
That would be bad.
As the Angel of Life, Nia had a suppressive effect on evil forces. With her watching from the side, his research could be said to be free of worries.
After entering research mode, the two women almost slept in the laboratory.
Roland, on the other hand, was fully focused on the phylactery. He didn't care that the two beautiful women were wandering around in their pajamas.
At a time like this, how could a woman compare to new knowledge?
In the lich studies, the greatest essence was this phylactery.
It could be said that dark spells and curses of flesh and blood were just leftovers from mages.
Only the phylactery's philosophy was independent of the current system of spells.
Roland was not in a hurry to open the box. Instead, he studied the magic stripes on the box.
Unlike the current magic arrays, the magic arrays of the Lich's phylactery were quite strange.
The systems were very different, but there were also similarities.
If he had to make an image comparison, one was physical chemistry, and the other was biochemistry.
Although the core things were the same, the abilities and knowledge derived from them were very different.
Roland was fascinated by the magic arrays on the box alone.
It took him nearly a month to analyze the magic arrays on the box, which greatly supplemented his own knowledge of magic arrays.
He could now consider doing things that couldn't be done by magic arrays before.
For example, the magic arrays that could transform energy into matter.
But that had to be put aside. The most important thing right now was to continue cracking the phylactery.
Roland didn't want a bunch of enemies lurking in the dark all the time.
Research was a process that consumed a lot of time, money, and materials.
Even to crack the phylactery, Roland used a lot of magic materials.
They were made into simple magic arrays and tested for various attributes.
Magic arrays had many functions, such as attack, defense, support, and so on.
And in Roland's hands, they were even more amazing.
For example … a small penetration magic array.
It was Roland's latest masterpiece.
It could see through the insides of small objects.
A material identification magic array that permanently imbued identification into the magic array and added a weighing effect, which could identify the composition and weight of an object.
There were many similar small magic arrays, all inspired by Roland's modern laboratory.
Now that Roland studied magic, he had evolved to the point that he didn't just use tools for calculation.
Roland was very serious when he studied magic, and time passed quickly.
At first, Nia and Andonara were worried that Roland would fall into the world of liches, but seeing that Roland was just doing academic research, they were much more reassured.
However, the two of them still didn't leave the laboratory. They planned to leave after Roland stopped studying liches.
About eight hundred kilometers to the west from Delpon, four young men in black robes rode camels from a desert village in Urganda to this side.
Although black absorbed heat, it was more comfortable to wear black robes in the desert than white ones.
The four of them had been walking for days, and their destination was Delpon.
Something happened in their hometown, and they invited a lot of mercenaries and even Mages to help, but they couldn't solve the problem.
They begged everywhere, but it was useless.
By accident, a Golden Son passed by. After he saw the scene, he scratched his head and said to the village leader, "Just give up. It's too troublesome. Most people are unwilling to take it, mainly because you're offering too little money. It obviously has a lot to do with magic. "
He was the only person who was willing to talk to them about what happened.
The other people came and took a look, then left.
They didn't want to talk to them at all, and they even spat at them.
So, the village leader knelt before the Golden Son on the spot.
The Golden Son was rather soft-hearted. After a moment of frustration, he said, "You can go to Delpon and find a Mage named Roland. He's a kindred of mine. He's soft-hearted and interested in magic. He might accept your request and solve your problem. "
"How much money does he need?" asked the village leader pitifully.
The Golden Son smiled. "Money? Few people in the world dare to talk about money in front of Roland, not even dragons. You can bring some local specialties to him, but you must be sincere and sincere. Don't lie to him and tell him everything that needs to be said. Maybe it'll work. "
"Then, sir, can you help me invite him?" asked the village leader hopefully. "I can tell that you're a good man too."
The Golden Son instantly laughed. "Of course I'm a good man. You can tell with the alignment test that I'm a cuckold … Damn it, you sound like I've been cuckolded. But, village leader, I'm not stupid. You want me to owe someone a favor just because you say that I'm a good man? That's your business. You can't save yourselves. I'm showing you a way, but you're trying to blame me. That's not how people and things work. "
With a sarcastic laugh, the Golden Son waved his sleeves and left.
Naturally, the villagers did not dare to chase him anymore.
A few days later, the village leader selected four villagers who were in the best condition and set off for Delpon on camels with local specialties.
They asked merchants and passers-by on their way and slowly moved toward the right way.
It took them more than ten days to walk out of the desert country of Urganda.
But the ten days weren't a waste of time.
On their way, they asked everybody what they thought of the Golden Sons. Almost everybody raised their thumbs and said that they were the only race on the continent with a conscience.
They were truly good people.
Hearing that, the four villagers were even more excited and continued riding on their camels.
Then, they walked for another ten days.
They finally reached Delpon.
They didn't run into any bandits on their way, but the guards ate less than one-tenth of the local specialties that they brought with them when they passed the checkpoint.
Although they had reached Delpon, the four villagers all looked as if they had lost their parents. Looking at the empty bags on the camels, they couldn't cry even if they wanted to.
In the end, the middle-aged man in the lead said slowly, "There's nothing we can do. We've tried our best. We're already here anyway. Let's go and beg the Mage. "
At this moment, they were stopped again when they were about to enter the city.
They thought that they were going to pay tribute again. The black-faced man in the lead searched his bag and found a few dried fruits. He handed them over.
But the man waved his hand, and a friendly-looking middle-aged man observed them for a while and asked, "Are you from the Red Desert?"
The four of them quickly nodded.
"What are you doing here?" Cage looked at them with the Hero's Sword on his waist. "Business? But you didn't bring enough goods, or were they robbed on your way? If so, where were they robbed? If it's in Delpon, just tell me, and we'll help you recover the goods. "
The four of them quickly shook their heads. "No, we're here to meet the master of this place, a Mage named Roland."
Roland?
Cage was slightly surprised. "You came all the way from Urganda on camels just to meet Roland? You don't look like people who are capable of learning magic. "
"No, something terrible happened to our village. A Golden Son said that a Mr. Roland might help us take care of it."
Cage slightly nodded.
He also found that the four of them were indeed in a miserable state.
They were all skinny and dark.
They must've suffered a lot on their way here. They probably didn't even have enough food.
The camels were all starved.
Just like farmers regarded cows as family members, the people of the Red Desert considered camels the most important property of their family, or even the whole village.
They had to make sure that the camels would feed them even if they didn't have enough food.
"Roland has been studying magic recently …" said Cage. Looking at the four wooden monks and the ordinary people who were almost desperate, he said, "Forget it. I'll take you to him."
Hearing that they could meet Roland directly, the four of them were excited.
The leader reached into the bag on the camel's back and took out a handful of dried fruits, which he gave to Cage.
Cage waved his hand.
Anxious, the man tried to put the dried fruits in front of Cage. Seeing that Cage still wouldn't accept it, he was about to kneel.
Cage was a professional after all. Before the man knelt down, he grabbed him and said, "Fine, I'll take it."
He accepted the dried fruits and put them in his pocket. Then, he led the four of them to the center of the city.
Outside of Roland's manor, he asked the four of them to park their camels and led them into the manor.
The manor was guarded, but Cage was Roland's friend and Andonara's family. Naturally, the guards wouldn't stop him.
In the garden, the five of them met Andonara and Nia, who were having afternoon tea.
It was a rare moment of leisure for them. About half an hour later, they would return to the laboratory to keep Roland company.
Seeing her uncle followed by four swarthy men, she was a little surprised. "Uncle, who are they?"
"They want to meet Roland and ask for his help."
"Do they need money?" Andonara stood up and was about to go back to her room for money.
Andonara wouldn't have bothered to talk to a few random people who asked for help, but it was different when her uncle brought them here.
Andonara had always kept her uncle's kindness in mind and was very grateful.
"It's not about money," Cage explained. Cage explained, "They said that their village had a weird magic problem, but nobody was willing to help them. However, a Golden Son told them that Roland might help them, so they came from Urganda on camels."
"Urganda? That's a thousand kilometers away." Even Andonara was shocked. "Can't anybody solve their Urganda?"
Cage opened his hands. "The people of the Red Sand Nation prefer swordsmanship and battle techniques. Everybody in the world knows how good they are as a Mage."
"That's true."
Andonara didn't want anybody to disturb Roland, especially when Roland was doing magic experiments.
But when she looked at the four of them, they had almost collapsed under the heavy pressure of the month-long journey.
Their eyes were even hazy. If it weren't for the glimmer of hope in their eyes, they would've been no different from zombies.
Andonara knew very well that the four of them would've passed out in desperation if they heard the rejection.
How pitiful!
She thought of herself in the past. Although she was very strong back then, she was still one step away from despair because of the deliberate and psychological training of the royal family.
If it weren't for Roland …
Thinking about that, Andonara said to her uncle, "Let them wait here and ask the maids to make them something to eat and drink. I don't think they can hold on much longer. "
Cage put on a smile.
As a member of the Hero family, he had to be broad-minded.
Andonara entered the laboratory and patted Roland's shoulder. After Roland turned around, she told him what happened.
Roland found it hard to believe. "A magic problem that nobody in the entire country can solve in Urganda?"
He was quite interested.
However, he was more interested in the phylactery of the lich.
However, it was a matter of life and death. He had to go to Urganda to take a look.
Right when he was hesitating, a notification popped up in the system.
"Epic quest detected: Magic Crystal. Do you want to pick it?"
Huh?
Of course he would!
Another epic quest had finally appeared after such a long time.
That was easy!
