554 Cause and Effect of Prophecy
Looking at the little catwoman who was talking coolly, Roland glared at her helplessly, and then walked to the garden, gave the servants a holiday, and asked them to leave the manor and go outside.
If something negative really happens, it won't implicate them.
Roland also wanted to let the little cat woman leave, but the little cat woman just hid to the side, lying on the wall of the manor, staring at Roland with intent, and shouting at the same time: "Master, I want to see how you get ten gold coins out of thin air, I will be careful myself, don't drive me away, okay?" ”
Cats are extremely curious animals, and so are cat people.
Roland thought for a moment and said, "Then stay away from me, don't come here." ”
Catwoman was lying on her stomach on the wall, nodding her head repeatedly.
If it was a general magic experiment, Catwoman would have been out of interest for a long time.
But this is money, if you use a magic, you can get ten gold coins, then the master will not be short of money in the future, and can you occasionally ask the master for gold coins?
I'm really curious.
Because of this careful thinking, the little cat woman who has always jumped out actually resisted the instinct to run outside and chose to wait quietly with Roland.
After the Little Wishing Spell was cast, Roland could vaguely feel that it was working.
But how it works can't be felt with mental power.
He waited quietly.
Time passed.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Half-hour...... The little catwoman was lying on the wall, already yawning.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the ears on her head suddenly moved, and she immediately raised her head and looked in the direction of the door.
An apprentice magician knocked on the door with a small box.
Catwoman was stunned and jumped lightly from the high wall, opening the door to the magic apprentice.
Roland also walked over.
When the magic apprentice saw Roland, he immediately bent down slightly, and at the same time held the pale gray box in both hands, and said: "Your Excellency Roland, this is a reward from the Senate, in recognition of your contribution to the small blue fireball spell model some time ago, as well as the reward for the students' restraint and guidance during this time. ”
"Thank you."
The ordinary-looking student of magic bowed again and turned to leave.
Roland held the box and slowly opened it.
At some point, Catwoman had already run to Roland's side.
Inside the box were gold coins and several pieces of parchment.
"Wow, that's ten gold coins." Marilyn Catwoman exclaimed.
Roland's focus is different.
He put the box on the ground next to it, squatted down and took out a few spell model diagrams, all of which were third-level spells, but not plastic magic, they were the spiritual destruction of the illusion system, the anti-evil enchantment of the protection system, and the summoning archer skeleton of the soul department.
Then he took the wooden gold coin in his hand.
These ten gold coins still exude quite faint magic fluctuations,
I confirmed it, and it was one's wish-making technique.
And these magic powers are still evaporating rapidly, and after more than ten seconds, they can't be felt at all.
These ten gold coins are indeed the effect of wishing art.
That is, if the little wishing spell doesn't work, then the reward is three spell models?
Well!
It's kind of interesting.
It seems that the random 'causes' of the small wishing technique are not completely negative.
Combined with the 'water' that Catwoman brought back just now, the chance of a negative event triggered by the Little Wishing Technique does not seem to be as great as I imagined!
Of course, only two trials have been conducted so far, and the data is still too scarce.
Do a few more tests.
Roland returned to the garden and placed the box in his backpack.
Then he cast the Little Wishing Spell again.
With his hands clasped together, a white ball of light jumped slightly in the middle.
What kind of wish should you make?
While Roland was thinking about it, Catwoman Marilyn, who had been watching next to her, looked at Roland, and then at the ball of light in his hand, and then her eyes lit up, and she shouted, "I also want ten gold coins." ”
Roland was startled, and the ball of light in his hand disappeared with a bang.
The spell was activated.
It turns out that this spell can also be made by others?
Roland wrote down this trait.
Then, he immediately frowned, looked at Catwoman seriously, and said: "Prophecy is too mysterious, the process of its effect is difficult to predict, since you have made a wish, stay at home, and I will keep you safe." ”
"I don't want to."
As soon as these words fell, the little catwoman ran away.
Swift steps and stealth, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Caught off guard, although Roland reacted, he couldn't catch the little cat girl.
Rushing towards an enemy and running away quickly are two different concepts for thieves.
Attacks need to be targeted, and it's easy to predict the action, so the thieves who show up are likely to be at a disadvantage in battle.
But for stealth professions, running away means greater choice and initiative, you can run away from all directions, and you can be stealthy and can run at an accelerated pace.
Therefore, it is very difficult to leave a thief who is bent on escaping, which is why thieves are the profession with the lowest mortality rate.
When Roland saw the little cat woman disappear, he subconsciously teleported over there.
With a flick of his fingers, he had flashed out of the manor, but the kitten was completely gone.
I can't find it when I open the spiritual power net, so I must have stayed away from this place.
"This little guy's strength is improving quite quickly."
Not to mention the offensive ability, the ability to escape alone already makes Roland feel a little exaggerated.
"I hope something doesn't happen."
Roland was a little worried about the kitten's safety, but he wasn't too worried.
With such an escape ability, it is difficult for even himself to catch up, and the 'negative' process brought about by the little wishing technique should not be able to hurt the little cat girl.
Roland returned to the manor again and continued to wait.
He could feel that his little wishing technique was working, but he couldn't lock the direction and scope of the small wishing technique's effect.
Also, if the previous wish has not been fulfilled, or if the spell has not expired, it is not possible to use a new small wish.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Roland felt that his little wishing technique had been completed.
"Hopefully Marilyn hasn't been hurt in any way." Roland sighed slightly.
He waited for the little catwoman to come back and see what kind of direction the little wishing technique would use to fulfill his wish.
After waiting for a while, there was the sound of wheels running over the road outside the manor, and from far and near, the small slight became obvious.
Roland walked to the manor and saw that the one at the front was Catwoman, her head hanging and her left and right hands clenching something tightly.
Behind Catwoman was a flatbed carriage, surrounded by three men dressed as servants, and a young magician.
This magician Roland knew him, his former classmate in the ruby class.
His name is Kanye-West.
The carriage stopped in front of the manor, and Roland keenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere of the group.
He walked over, his pupils narrowing slightly.
There were two corpses lying on the flatbed carriage, large scorched black on their bodies, but they were still recognizable from their faces that had not been completely burned, and they were both servants working in Roland Manor.
One is Aunt Susan and the other is Gardener Tom.
The names Susan and Tom are among the common names of civilians.
In any village, or street, among the hundreds of people, there are more than a dozen people named Susan or Tom.
Roland's face was quite unsightly: "What's going on!" ”
Catwoman's head hung even lower, and she didn't dare to look at Roland at all.
The magician Kanye stepped forward, bent down deeply, and said in a bitter tone, "I'm sorry, Lord Roland. I was experimenting with magic at home, and then two of your servants, along with this cat lady, passed under the walls outside my manor. It's just that all of us didn't expect that the fire magic experiment failed, and the powerful fire magic directly broke through the two stone walls, and then blew up the outer wall of my manor, and unfortunately hit these two servants at the same time, and your cat lady, because she is a professional, has a strong reaction nerve, jumped out of the way at a critical time, and avoided a catastrophe. ”
Roland turned his head to look at the little catwoman: "Is that so?" ”
Catwoman looked up, her eyes filled with mist, and after nodding timidly, she raised her hands flat and spread them out.
There are five gold coins on each hand and on the right hand.
"The gold coin in the Cat Man's hand represents my most sincere gift and apology, Lord Roland." Kanye looked a little uneasy: "I know that gold is not worth mentioning compared to life, but this is my last deposit this month. ”
Roland stared into Kanye's eyes, and after a while, he looked away, looked at the two corpses in the carriage, and sighed helplessly.
He knew that what Kanye said should be true, and that the latter had no intention of killing the two servants.
Because there is no need.
Whether it's in the Red Magic Tower, or in other countries, the lives of civilians are worthless.
Even if you miss and die, you will lose dozens of silver coins, and it will already be a public price.
There is no need to give a price for ten gold coins at all.
Roland knew that Kanye was afraid of himself and that he would be angry with him, so he poured all his money and even took the initiative to apologize, just to make Roland less angry.
The other party was not the murderer of the two servants.
Himself and Catwoman Marilyn count.
Roland barely showed a smile: "Your Excellency Kanye, I am quite grateful for the trouble of sending them back." Now please go back first, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't be too stressed. ”
Seeing that Roland was not angry, Kanye breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and left.
After Kanye and his men left, Roland transformed into three mage hands and dragged the cart back to the manor.
After closing the door, Catwoman hung her head, held ten gold coins in both hands, and carefully placed them in front of Roland.
The tail that used to stand up high is now hanging down to the ground.
"Wouldn't it be nice to exchange the lives of two acquaintances for ten gold coins?"
Roland stared into Catwoman's eyes and asked lightly.
Catwoman shook her head vigorously, tears flying out of her eyes, drop by drop.
Although Mao Tian spends all day wandering, she actually has a good relationship with some servants in the manor, and Su Shan is one of them.
Roland took ten gold coins from Catwoman's hand and said, "Don't be so reckless in the future." Go and get Susan and Tom's family over. We'll have to talk to them about reparations. ”
Catwoman wiped her eyes and turned to leave the manor.
And Roland also took a deep breath, he had to stop the experiment of the little wishing technique for a while.
The negative effect was much greater than he had imagined.
