Rorschach wouldn't have to worry about his finances for a short period of time after successfully robbing the rich to give to the poor.
Rorschach also didn't have to pay much of a price for cracking down on crime (seriously). At most, his name would be on the black market's wanted list again, and the reward wouldn't be too high.
After some investigation, the Guild ruled that this was a simple civil dispute.
"Alchemist Paradise hired a foreign archmage to cause trouble for Anthony the Enforcer. After the job was done, the archmage couldn't come to an agreement on the payment.
Although there were some discrepancies between the Guild's story and the Guild's reality, the Guild's version of events was basically the truth. Alchemist Paradise had only themselves to blame.
As for whether or not anyone would seek justice for Alchemist Paradise … well, was it really a crime to do such a thing? At the very least, with Alchemist Paradise's usual popularity, they probably wouldn't be able to find any other organizations to help them out, especially since their opponent was not only a rank 5 archmage, but also a combat mage who had just defeated the strongest rank 6 Anthony in this area.
However, some things wouldn't change.
After destroying Alchemist Paradise, as long as there was still market demand, similar organizations would soon appear, such as Alchemist Hell, Paradise, and so on.
This wasn't a joke, as it was something that had a high probability of happening. Old brands already had "market appeal", and if they still targeted old customers, changing a few words would still be able to attract repeat customers.
And since Rorschach didn't go all out and start a massacre, even the leaders and leaders might not change.
The Guild wouldn't stand up for them, so they could only take revenge on their own. But judging from how they even announced that they were disbanding, even the rank 3 archmages didn't intend to take revenge, lest the archmage they provoked came back to clean them up … This was probably the wisdom of small fry in the gray area.
Disbanding due to a lack of funds? Rorschach had obtained a lot of goods, but he only had a few hundred in cash. Who would still keep cash at home these days? Most guilds would use credit, and it would be difficult to rob them.
This was a gray organization. They had their own way of survival and principles of doing things. Although they were always walking on the edge of law and morality, they couldn't be eradicated. At least, they couldn't be eradicated easily before their needs were completely eliminated.
Rorschach only found out afterwards that he was only worth 200 gold coins even though he was a rank 6 warrior. That was far less than what he was worth when he was still a student …. This was probably just for show, to show that he still held a grudge and wanted to save some face.
However, if a fool really looked for the Great Mage for 200 gold coins, it would not be a surprise.
Rorschach, on the other hand, received a result that made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
"… Are all the magic societies refusing my entry?"
As expected, all the magic societies in the 442nd Street declined Rorschach's application.
Not all the clubs directly rejected him. Those who agreed to join offered a cooperation/work contract of more than five years (with no savings or high liquidated damages). Rorschach would never agree.
The reason? Alchemy Paradise, which had just been destroyed, was probably not the main reason. After all, they only had themselves to blame. As long as Rorschach didn't continue to go crazy and destroy a few more organizations and prove that he was indeed super aggressive, it wouldn't affect anything.
More importantly, most of the magic societies could tell that Rorschach was only looking for a transition, and didn't want to be that transition.
The most fundamental reason was that the magic societies didn't need a combat mage whose combat power surpassed that of the 442nd Street's number one expert, Anthony.
That's right, they didn't need him. This wasn't Ansorenne, who could only survive if he had combat power. This was a city of academics and knowledge, a Mage Country that pursued truth and endless mysteries. In a relatively peaceful academic city, being able to fight, liking to fight, and only knowing how to fight wouldn't be a good thing.
As for the gray organizations that required combat power, Rorschach wouldn't even consider joining them.
Rorschach needed a transition, someone who could prove that not only could he fight, but he was also a qualified mage who had academic pursuits and could produce research results.
But obviously, the 442nd Street's legal society, which had already seen Rorschach fight twice, didn't want to give Rorschach this opportunity.
Accept a long-term employment contract? This was completely against Rorschach's original plan. It was impossible for him to work. In fact, he would never work for the rest of his life. He would only occasionally rob gray organizations to make a living.
"… They're forcing me to leave."
In just two days, Rorschach already understood what these organizations wanted.
This was obviously not the behavior of an individual or organization. This was a tacit agreement between all the magic societies in this district to force Roland to leave as soon as possible.
And if Rorschach hadn't killed off Alchemy Paradise, which would prove that he was too aggressive, perhaps this would have happened a little later, but it would only have been a matter of time.
The result of a shark jumping into a fish pond would be disaster. Perhaps Roland only wanted to eat until he was 80% full, but by the time he finished eating and went to the larger world, there probably wouldn't be much left in the pond.
If Rorschach had been guessing before, he had received several magazines in the past two days that specifically introduced the major magic societies in the central district. They were clearly trying to force him to leave.
Fine then, he had originally intended to leave right after he finished eating, but now he had to leave ahead of time.
Rorschach actually wasn't in a hurry these past two days … He had successfully received "relief" from the more active magic societies. He now had living expenses and lodging expenses, and there wasn't anything important that he needed to take care of. What was there to be anxious about?
He directly went into seclusion to research the key that he had just obtained. But before he could figure out anything about the key, the magic societies were starting to get anxious.
In the hallway of the hotel that Rorschach had complained about, there were a few extra bags of money in the past few days. There were several hundred gold coins scattered all over the hallway. It seemed that the magic societies were giving Rorschach money as a gift.
Rorschach was overjoyed to be able to pick up money every day when he went out. He even wanted to stay here for a few more months. Money wasn't a problem. It felt so good to be able to pick up money every day without doing anything … Cough, fortunately, one day when he came out for breakfast, he saw a news report.
"… Two days ago, Wood Spirit Prince Rorschach and Bair's seventh princess, Seviala, held an engagement ceremony at St. Thomas' Cathedral. In order to celebrate this historical event, the capital had a three-day holiday. What you're seeing now is the scene of the (unmarried) couple parading through the streets in their wedding cars and waving to their supporters …"
"Pffft!"
Rorschach, who was eating noodles, actually spat it out.
"Sorry, sorry!"
While he hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the unlucky fellow sitting in front of him, Rorschach was carefully watching the scene on the television screen.
The wood spirit mixed-blood who was being carried by a young girl was like a small doll. His delicate face and familiar gentle smile didn't move at all. Looking at this scene, it was as if a little girl was showing off her favorite toy.
"Ahhh. The little prince is so cute! He looks like a doll. "
"An old cow eating young grass? Although this cow looks really small. "
The young girl in the noodle shop screamed, successfully adding insult to injury.
"Smack!"
Rorschach violently slammed his head on the table. The first time he appeared, he was being carried by a doll. His image was completely ruined. This was the reason why he didn't want others to carry him (Hey, that's not the main point).
"No! That's not the main point! How could I possibly appear there! "
