According to the information currently available, Roland estimates that Palatina's strength is on the same level as that of the Sea Elf Queen Lyubov Yangbo in the North Bay and the Red Dragon General Andrea in the Twilight Valley, but considering that Palatina is wearing an artifact cloak and at least two legendary weapons, her overall strength may be better than that of Lyubov and Andrea. Calculated in this way, Roland is not sure of winning after the upgrade.

How can I further improve my win rate?

Roland thought about it for a long time, and decided to take advantage of some free time to go to the silver sky and ask Eltaran to perform a "mind surgery" for himself and transplant the 8th order psychic ability "Mind Control Orb".

The "Mind Control Orb", also known as the "Agility Orb", is an advanced version of the "Outulic Elastic Orb" that can be used to create a transparent telekinetic shield that can be used to protect itself or imprison enemies. The "Mind Control Orb" has an advantage over the "Bouncy Orb", that is, the caster can use telepathic remote control to move the orb, which is equivalent to carrying a protective shield with him. Ordinary physical and magical attacks can't destroy this cover, but Roland can hide inside the shield and use the "Ability Barrier" to attack opponents outside the shield, which can be called a perfect tactic for attacking and defending.

Roland's current level is just enough to transplant the "Mind Control Orb", but unfortunately he still has to pay Eltaran for the "Mind Surgery" - 8 degrees of potential for the transplantation of this ability.

Roland checked his potential pool, and after upgrading, he only had 7 degrees of potential left, which was not enough to pay for the transplant...... After a moment of silence, he took out the "Blasphemous Star" from his storage bag and decided to use the "Prayer Technique" that he had stolen from the "Enchantment" not long ago. The 9-Ring Prayer Technique can be converted into 9 degrees of potential, counting the existing 7 degrees of potential, and after paying the cost of transplanting the "Mind Control Orb", there will be 8 degrees of potential left as a reserve.

……

Roland's trip to the silver sky went well. Eltaran happily complied with his request and performed "Mind Surgery" to successfully implant him with the Tier 8 Psychic Ability "Telekinesis Orb". Roland inspected his own property by the way, the "Psychic Branch" of the University of Krasbourg in the Silver Sky had officially opened, and after the census, the college suddenly poured into more than 500 new students, and the dean Eltaran was very busy and happy. There are too many students, she is difficult to manage alone, so she captured the "shaper" Eugene as the vice president and professor, the first batch of students who migrated from the nightmare city of Akron are now successful in their studies, and they have also been fully mobilized by Eltaran as a teaching assistant, among which Jessica has the highest professional level, is already a level 3 psychiatrist, the most favored by Eltaran, and was promoted to a lecturer at a young age, although most of the later students are older than her, they have to respectfully call this little girl "Teacher Jessica".

The Starry Factory in SilverSky is open day and night, and the "Legend Circular Portal" is running at full capacity, continuously transporting Starlight raw materials to Karon Industrial Zone. However, the production capacity and transmission capacity of the star will eventually reach a bottleneck, and in the long run, it will be difficult to meet the growing demand for star quality in the industrial and scientific fields of the Far East.

Just think back to the total amount of natural rubber and artificial rubber consumed on Earth each year, and it is not difficult for Roland to imagine the potential of the demand for star-quality chemicals in the world of Vares, and it is not a long-term solution to rely on the supply of silver sky. Realizing the severity of the problem, Roland approached Eltalan and asked how the "Star Mass Automatic Extractor" she had promised to invent was progressing.

With a rare look of embarrassment, Lady Eltaran rubbed her head and argued, "I thought about this question too simply...... The ability to automatically drain astral mass has been created, but it doesn't work as consistently as it should. ”

"You're a dignified ancient god, so unreliable!" Roland couldn't help but complain when he was disappointed.

"That's because I used to use divine power to solve problems, and creating a star automaton was just a trivial matter in the eyes of the true gods, but now it is limited by the realm of mortals, and many things have become complicated!" Silver-haired Lori defended aggrievedly, "At the end of the day, the technical obstacle is in the constant ability ......"

Just as magic has "constancy," abilities do something similar, except that both are not very reliable and only work in a very small number of cases. Eltaran is trying to expand the "Ability Constancy Technique" to a whole new field of automatic star extraction, but no breakthrough has been made so far.

Roland listened to her complaints, and suddenly triggered an association.

"I've heard of a new discipline called 'Magical Engineering' that can create magicians around the obstacle of magical constancy, Eltaran, does that idea apply to abilities as well?"

"There are similarities between spellcasting and manifestation, and if this doctrine works for magic, then it stands to reason that it can also be extended to the realm of abilities, and at least there is something to learn from." Eltaran gave an optimistic assessment.

Roland smiled, touched the head of Wannian Lori and said, "You should talk to Nikita, the research she is working on will be very helpful to your work." ”

Eltaran rolled his eyes widely, "Why did you let me go to see a little hairy girl?" Besides, I can't leave the silver sky now, and you don't know, let her come and see me! ”

Roland knew that she was a face-loving person, and she was always on the show, so she had to write a letter to Nikita, explaining the trouble Altaran was in, and asking her to take time out of the silver sky to help Eltalan solve technical problems for the sake of her own face. Eltaran has a haughty temperament, and Nikita is also a person who thinks highly of herself, and Roland anticipates that the two will inevitably quarrel when they get along, and only hopes that the conflict of personalities will not prevent them from working together to develop the "Star Mass Automatic Extraction Device".

After arranging the affairs of the silver sky, Roland teleports back to Krasbourg. The hour hand of the bedroom clock had just crossed seven o'clock, and Roland was still full of energy after a sleepless night. Sit on the bed and complete the morning prayer and prepare for the magic that may be used in the jousting competition.

Just after breakfast, Anthony came to the door. Roland made a jousting agreement with Palatine yesterday that each of them would bring a Witness. Anthony was the Witness he was looking for.

"Roland, do you really want to compete with Palatina?" Antony still can't seem to accept this fact, and even doubts his intentions, "Palatina is called the 'Knight Princess', the number one master of our young generation in the Yashan Empire, and for the purpose of pursuing this thorny rose, I have to admit that your proposal to her is a good move, but it is also a dangerous move, if you can defeat Palatina and win the heart of the beauty, not to mention that you will lose...... I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed by Palatina for the rest of my life, and I'll never have the opportunity to pursue her forever, and I'd never dare to take such a big risk if it were me. ”
