Because two hours later, Aunt Susan and Tom's family came.

Looking at the two charred corpses, their expressions were sad, but when Roland's family gave five gold coins in compensation, the two deceased and their families all smiled happily.

It seems to have turned into a joy and mourning.

Roland watched very quietly from the side, his expression did not fluctuate, he did not speak, and he did not make any comments.

Only the kitten, from time to time wipe a handful of tears.

She was the only one who actually cried.

Roland temporarily interrupted the study of the Little Wishing Technique, but of course it was not a relinquishment. Rather, he felt that the small wishing technique was too dangerous, and that he needed to conduct more detailed academic research in a safer environment that would not implicate others.

Using teleportation, Roland returned to Motasos City, and first went to the city hall to check the government affairs of Motasos City in recent times.

This city of Steffani, although it is said that no matter what Roland tosses it into, the eldest princess should not mind too much, but in any case, whether it is from the perspective of friends or from the perspective of self-interest, a city with stable security and a healthy financial situation is conducive to Roland's peace of mind to build his own floating layer base.

Now there are many people in Motasos City who know Roland, but there are few people who have actually seen him.

So Roland went to the town hall and took Steffany's butler with him.

After he showed his face through the butler's introduction and let most of the people in the city hall know him, Roland quickly checked the recent internal affairs report, picked out a few obvious mistakes, and then smiled: "Although I am the acting lord, and I don't know when the eldest princess will be removed from this position, I still don't want to see anyone embezzle taxes during my tenure." ”

Several of the staff members were shivering.

Several officials and about 30 employees in the town hall looked at him and did not dare to speak.

The magician's words still carry a lot of weight, especially when he is reasonable.

"I know that some people will not be happy with me, after all, I have been parachuted in, and I am young, and it is difficult to convince the public. But it doesn't matter, if you think you have the ability and the background to bring me down, just let it go. ”

Looking at Roland's smiling expression, the officials and employees of the city hall could only smile awkwardly and echo what they could say.

"Of course, I'm not that unkind, I've seen your salary, and it's really a little small, so corruption has become a means for you to support your family. If I cut off your way of corruption, your living environment will deteriorate, so I decided to give you a salary increase, not much, and double the original basis. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of all the employees of the town hall widened.

When Princess Celestia was in her early teens, the city of Motasos became her domain.

That's when the employees of the town hall followed her and did things for her.

It's been about 15 years now, and in those 15 years, they haven't had a single salary increase.

Of course, prices haven't risen much.

And now, as soon as Roland came, he raised their wages.

So, the interior officials were more or less surprised, but more often ecstatic.

Seeing them happy, Roland was even happier as well.

He did this for a high salary! Of course, he never believed that a high salary could make the internal affairs officials and staff completely free from corruption and corruption.

The deeper purpose is just to have an excuse, and if someone is too corrupt in the future, he will have a reason and excuse to do it, and will not let outsiders say that he is mean and unkind.

After brushing up on the presence of the Interior Department, Roland returned to the City King's Mansion and entered the underground cavern.

Several solar systems have evolved into white spheres.

Roland crumpled them into bricks and put them in the system space backpack.

In this way, the magic bricks produced are not only of better quality, but also fully automatic and do not have to work their own, so that he has plenty of time to do other things, such as conducting magic experiments.

After terrorizing underground, he created several solar systems for evolution, and then teleported to the royal city of Frans, where he was tired of being with Andonara for two days before re-teleporting to the Red Magic Tower.

As soon as Roland returned to his manor, he hadn't even entered it, when two magic apprentices suddenly sprang out next to him.

They stood in front of Roland, and one of them said, "Your Excellency Roland, please go to the Senate at once." ”

Roland asked suspiciously, "Seeing how nervous you are, what happened?" ”

Another young magic apprentice replied, "The Great Elder and several other mentors came back from outside this morning, they are not doing well, I heard that this matter has a lot to do with you. ”

Roland was stunned for a moment, he remembered, the Great Elder Elford said that the matter about the eldest princess's ex-husband and the black-winged creature would be left to them to deal with, let him leave it alone, is it because of this matter?

After thanking the two magic apprentices, Roland hurried to the Council of Elders.

When Roland arrived at the door, there was a quarrel inside, a dozen elders or mentors arguing.

Roland appeared in the doorway and immediately attracted the attention of all of them.

The chamber fell silent.

The Great Elder beckoned to Roland and said, "Hurry up, kid!" ”

Under the watchful eyes of a dozen old, but very powerful magicians, Roland walked into the council chamber and stood beside the Great Elder.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Elders' Council was very dull, and everyone looked at Roland's gaze, all of which seemed a little subtle, and some of them even had extreme curiosity.

And Roland found that the Great Elder's face was very pale.

"Great Elder, what are you looking for me?"

Roland took the initiative to speak, slightly breaking up the dull atmosphere in the council chamber.

The Great Elder coughed again, this time his voice was heavier and weaker than the last.

"Yesterday we found the ex-husband of the eldest princess, and even locked his life box with the mantra search technique." It may be that he was injured, the Great Elder's expression looked very uncomfortable, as if he was desperately enduring the pain: "But just as we went to find him, the black four-winged angel appeared, and several of us were not his opponents, although we escaped, but Mentor Raquel stayed in that place forever, and we were all seriously injured." ”

Roland was surprised, he didn't expect that several legendary mages would shoot at the same time, and it would be such a result.

How strong is that black-winged angel?

Looking at Roland's surprised expression, the Great Elder smiled slightly and continued, "Although we escaped, that black angel was not happy, and he was also seriously injured. And the ex-husband of the eldest princess was locked by our Truth Finding Technique, and he couldn't escape, after all, it was the Truth Finding Technique released by us old guys! Its lifebox had to stay in that place until 100 days later when our spell effects were gone, and then it couldn't move. ”

"Great Elder, what do you need me to do?" Roland asked.

"You are the son of gold, you will not die, and the black angel after being seriously injured should not dare to stay there anymore, gather your companions, and go and kill the ex-husband of the eldest princess. An evil lich who is not entitled to remain in this world. ”

Originally, Roland had the epic task of killing the eldest princess's ex-husband, and now the great elder took the initiative. Speaking of this, it happened to be Roland's intention.

"Besides......" The Great Elder muttered for a moment, and then said, "In that place, the black angel was wounded by us and shed a lot of blood. The blood of high-level creatures does not corrupt and disappear casually, and it can also deter low-level creatures. So there should be a lot of his blood left in its place, you take it back, the more the better, understand? ”

Roland nodded.

"Here's the place."

The Great Elder used his spiritual power to 'transmit' a spatial coordinate to Roland.

Roland then leaves.

After Roland left, the Great Elder took a deep breath, closed his eyes and rested, and the quarrel in the council hall broke out again.

After a while, a middle-aged mentor walked in and said, "Roland has teleported away, we can continue to discuss about him." ”

The Great Elder opened his eyes.

"I'm still saying that, it's not worth it." A bald mentor whose strength was already close to that of a legend rose up and shouted unhappily: "Roland is just a master-level mage, is it necessary for us to be so good to him?" Raquel died, just to help that little guy solve his worries, then again, he is the son of gold, what if he dies once or twice? His own affairs should be handled by himself, and there is no need for us to help him. ”

The words of the bald mentor resonated with several people.

They all nodded in agreement.

But at this time, the Great Elder asked rhetorically, "Cook, it doesn't make sense for you to talk like that. I remember that you offended many big people when you were young, but because you have a good talent for magic, our Red Magic Tower has also helped you solve your worries, otherwise you can sit here and become a member of the Elders? ”

The bald Cook old face was slightly red, and said unhappily: "I am me, Roland is Roland, can I mix it up?" I'm a legend! ”

The Great Elder smiled: "When you were at Roland's age, you didn't even reach the elite, and you dared to say that you were better than Roland!" ”

"Elford, scolding doesn't reveal shortcomings, I'm not happy when you talk like this." The bald mage flicked the cuffs of the mage's robe up and pulled out two extremely muscular arms: "Come, according to the old rules of our council chamber, real men duel, whoever loses will obediently suffer the 'gender transition magic' of the day." ”

Hearing this, the dozen or so old man mages next to them immediately became excited.

They quickly got up, split the table in front of them into a dozen sections, and then pushed, very tacitly enclosing a square field, enclosing the bald Cook and the Great Elder.

Then they discussed excitedly on the sidelines.

"Wow, the stakes are a bit big this time, gender conversion magic, Cook is inflated."

"I think he is so arrogant because he has confidence, and most of the time he is looking for a legendary fighter to learn boxing."

"I haven't seen a female version of the Great Elder, after the gender transition, he will show himself in a young form, the Great Elder seemed to be very handsome when he was young, and after he changed into a young woman's form, he must be very beautiful."

"It's very handsome." An old man's face flushed slightly: "If it's a female version of the Great Elder, I think I can!" ”

it!

Several legendary old mages around them quickly dispersed, and looked at the old mage who had just spoken with a strange flush on his face with frightened eyes.

Pervert, this man!
