As Bard said, their audits are now quite efficient.

Roland showed the model derivative of the Mage's Hand, and now he has performed several derivative effects of the Mage's Hand, and after explaining the principle at the same time, the review has passed.

It took less than an hour before and after.

Bard then motioned for Roland to talk to him alone.

In the study, Bard sat across from Roland, sitting in a very upright posture, even with a serious taste.

Roland looked at Bard at this time and noticed that his expression was a little sluggish, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

I don't think I slept well last night.

"The world is changing a little bit unexpectedly." Bard looked into Roland's eyes and said slowly: "There is no news of the Golden Son in our royal city, it is estimated that there is no Golden Son who has descended there. But I suspect that similar news should have reached the ears of our aristocratic families by now. ”

Roland raised his eyelids slightly, he didn't understand what Bud meant by this, there was no head or tail.

"If I want to recruit you and make you our family's Worship Mage, would you be willing?"

Roland was stunned: "Your words are too sudden. Not long ago, our relationship was stiff, and now you want to woo me again, and I have to doubt your intentions. ”

Bud chuckled, "Also, too suddenly. I have a question that I hope you can answer me. ”

"It depends on what the problem is!"

"How many of you sons of gold are there?"

"Five hundred thousand."

Roland replied that this was not important news, even if Roland didn't say it, their nobles would be able to find out slowly in the future.

But when Bard heard the number, he took a deep breath of cold air, as if he was frightened.

His face turned white with fright.

Roland wondered, is the figure of 500,000 terrible? This is not a lot of people, there are nearly a million people in Del Bon City, and it is said that there are almost two million people in the royal city of Hollevin, so it stands to reason that Bard cannot be frightened by this number.

Then Roland saw Bard holding the wine glass in both hands, and the wine glass was trembling, and even a few pieces of fruit wine spilled out.

Now Bard looks like a patient with Parkinson's.

Bard then slowly drank the wine, and in the process, he slowly quieted down and his face began to look as usual.

He put down the wine, pretended that nothing had happened just now, and said, "I still want to extend a sincere invitation to Your Excellency. Our Bard family, both in terms of magic books and resources, is much stronger than a magic tower. If you are willing to become our Offering Teacher, you will be able to receive the same resources as a step-teacher, and you will not have to bear too many responsibilities and obligations. ”

Bard's expression was very serious, and Roland could feel that the other party was very serious.

It's just that Roland is even more puzzled: "Why do you suddenly treat me as a sweetheart?" ”

"You have strength, a lot of strength." Bard uttered the classic proverb of Hollevin: "We, the nobles, are willing to fall on one knee for great strength and power, even to the point of allegiance." ”

Hearing this, Roland smiled faintly in his heart.

This may sound like an elegant statement, but in essence, it is a bully to the weak and afraid of the hard.

"Wait until I'll think about it for a while!" Roland thought for a moment and replied to Bard so tactfully.

"You are always welcome in the Bard family." Bard stood up and said, "I'm going to return to the royal city next, and if you come to the royal city one day, or pass by the royal city, you must remember to visit my house." ”

Stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, although Roland doesn't like Bard very much, but since the other party is soft and has no confrontational emotions, Roland naturally will no longer be vicious.

The relationship between him and Bud was more of a personal sensual hatred of each other, and there was no conflict of interest or life-and-death enmity in the real sense.

"If there is a day, I will go to your house to talk to you for a while." Roland also stood up.

Bard looked at Roland with a smile and suddenly said, "I hope you won't be our gravediggers!" ”

Roland was thoughtful.

With such a sentence, Bard left the magic tower, taking his friends and subordinates with him.

Roland stood in front of the window, watching the departure of Bard and the others.

Vivien pushed the door in, and she took the pastry and some preserved fruit and placed them on the table, and then walked over to Roland, and looked at Bud as she faded away.

After a while, she said, "Vice President, you let us out of the city, in fact, so that we can avoid this person." He's dangerous, isn't he? ”

"You've seen it!" Roland chuckled.

"We're not stupid, in fact, everyone guessed it." Vivien sighed softly and said, "Even the president has avoided him, he must be a troublesome person." It must be dangerous for you to leave us outside the city, and for your friends to protect you, and to face them alone. We all felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. ”

"Actually, it's none of your business, it's better to say that you were almost implicated by me and the president."

"Do you think we'll believe it?" Vivien's eyes were slightly red: "Vice President, please remember that we are also part of the Magic Tower, and if there is such a thing in the future, please don't exclude us." ”

No...... It really has nothing to do with you.

However, Vivien left the study without waiting for Roland to explain.

In the days that followed, Roland noticed that the apprentices were in high spirits, and they went outside the city to help build houses during the day, and when they returned to the magic tower at night, they also practiced magic until the middle of the night.

They were already very diligent, but now they have become even more diligent, almost to the point of desperateness.

Diligence is a good thing, Roland thought about it, and didn't try to clarify anything.

Because the magic of knowing the language reached a bottleneck and was stuck, Roland did not deduce this magic again in the past few days.

In the library of the Magic Tower, he found another spell that was quite interesting.

Spell puppets.

It is also a type of zero-level trick, and like the mage's hand, it is called a chicken rib spell.

But Roland found it interesting.

Level 0 spells are easy to learn, Roland looked at the spell model, and in less than ten minutes, he successfully cast a blue magic element puppet.

The doll was about the same height as Roland, and it didn't have eyes, nose, faces, or anything like that, just a simple magical humanoid.

In addition, this thing has no soul, no consciousness. However, it will inherit some of the summoner's instinctive knowledge, it can recognize friend and foe, can understand most of the language commands, and its strength is not great, so it can assist the mage to do some more delicate experiments or work.

The mage's hand is used to carry weight, so it is impossible to do fine work.

Spell golems were created because of this need, but many mages found that they were not very useful.

This thing only inherits some knowledge from the summoner, so it often makes mistakes when experimenting, magic materials are very expensive, and if it fails a few more times, it will be a poor egg.

In the end, all that left was cleaning and alerting foreign enemies.

But in that case, it would be easier to recruit more magic apprentices to come back.

After all, maintaining a spell puppet requires a constant drain of mana.

After Roland looked at the spell puppet's spell model for about an hour, a lot of bold ideas came to his mind.
