Chapter 143: Chess wins

Wind Tiger also saw Roland, and turned its gaze to him, and roared at him with some fear. It smelled a hint of danger from the black-haired, black-eyed boy with weak apparent strength.

Ignoring the roar, Roland raised his staff to his own, and fireballs rose one after another, burning with cyan flames, which made people's hearts palpitate. Then, an Ice Spine Flame Sword was generated out of thin air, and Roland had already taken the magic sword in his hand and rushed towards the Wind Tiger.

Next, the blonde boy saw a scene that he would never forget: a mage, wearing a magic robe, a magic sword, and several magic shields, was actually fighting hand-to-hand combat with the wind tiger who was even higher than him.

The blonde boy watched as the Wind Tiger, who had almost killed himself just now, was killed by this sword-wielding mage, walking a somewhat stiff position, cutting flesh with a blunt knife, and killing the Wind Tiger little by little.

Roland waited for the wind tiger to fall to the ground in despair, and thought about the details of the battle he had just now. He found that he was taking it for granted, and it was also because Fenghu had previously pursued and killed the blonde boy and consumed his strength, and he was slightly injured by his surprise, so that he was defeated by hand-to-hand combat with a sword.

There were so many things to learn in melee combat, but in a short period of time, it was impossible for him to give up practicing magic to learn those complex melee techniques.

"Is it going to be so easy to give up on the dream of a melee mage?" Roland sighed slightly, God pity him, his biggest dream in his previous life was to be a swordsman.

Ahem!

The blonde boy interrupted Roland's abrupt thoughts with a cough, and he slowly approached and said sincerely, "Hello, I'm Caen, a first-year Ranger of the Federation College in the Southern City-State, thank you for saving me." โ€

Rowland was a little embarrassed: "It's just a gesture." โ€

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

"How's it taste?"

In front of the grill, Roland stared at Caen expectantly but enthusiastically, reluctantly put a piece of elk meat in his mouth, and asked over and over again.

At the entrance of the food, the ranger's face changed, and he was a little stiff, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no need to kill him, he would even suspect that Roland was plotting something wrong. He looked at Roland and asked cautiously, "Have you cleaned up your internal organs?" โ€

"Entrails?" Roland thought about it seriously, and his face was bitter, "It seems that I forgot again." โ€

The ranger spat out the food in his mouth, and his face was ugly: "It looks like you're going to nibble on jerky again." โ€

Failed again? Roland hid his face and sighed. He quickly adjusted his mindset and turned his attention elsewhere. "By the way, what is the federal college of the southern city-state you just mentioned?"

Caen sorted out his words and explained to Roland.

"Did you know the southern city-states? Hundreds of years ago, many commoners in the Greenland Empire came out of the strong and dissatisfied with the autocratic rule of the Greenland nobles. They became independent, eventually occupying many areas of the southern part of the Greenla Empire. โ€

"They built cities one after another, forming dozens of city-states, large and small, ruling hundreds of thousands of miles to the south to compete with the Greenland Empire."

"In order to unite the forces and work together against the revenge of the Greenland Empire. The rulers of these city-states united to form a council, and the city-states had a certain number of seats in the council according to their strength, and participated in the construction of the city-state and the foreign war. โ€

"In order to effectively develop and cultivate talents, the city-state has established one academy after another, and any mage or knight who meets the conditions in the city-state can enter the academy to practice better magic and martial arts to enhance their strength. Confederation College is the best college in the southern city-states. โ€

"Isn't this just the same nature as the university in the previous life?" Roland thought to himself. He was a little stunned, and some curiosity arose about this federal college that he had never heard of.

In the Greenland Empire, it is difficult for an adventurer, especially a mage, to get ahead without a good mentor and family.

Without the guidance of a teacher, everything has to be explored slowly by yourself, needless to say, all kinds of cultivation resources such as magic martial arts, meditation techniques, auxiliary potions, etc., are controlled by various magic organizations and nobles. If you want to get these things, you have to bow down to those organizations, the nobility, and join them.

All kinds of magical organizations can be said to only need to complete the assigned tasks, serve the organization, and at least have personal freedom; If you join a noble family, you will be commanded by others at will, and you will become a dog at the feet of the nobles, and there is no freedom at all.

"Then what are you doing in the Dark Mountains?" Rowland asked.

Caen hesitated, his lips twitched, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Roland saw it clearly, and he knew that there must be some secret. Although he was curious, he had no intention of making it difficult for others. Roland handed him a piece of jerky, "Forget it, don't mention it, let's talk about it after lunch." โ€

Caen took the jerky, smiled bitterly, and said, "Alas, there's nothing to keep secret. When I was at the Federal College, I accidentally obtained a secret map of a magical relic. That magical relic is not far from here, so I took advantage of the Dark Mountains to try my luck. โ€

"But when I got to the place, I found that the ruins had been discovered by others, and many adventurers were looking for ways to enter the ruins. I wanted to sneak into the ruins while others weren't looking. As a result, I met two scoundrels, and when they saw that I was young, they wanted to rob me. I fought with them, got a little wounded, fled here, and accidentally ran into the Wind Tiger. โ€

Relic?

Roland's eyes lit up. The magic ruins are different from the castles he encountered before, and the magic castles belong to the unique architecture of ancient magicians - use magical materials to build castles, live in them, and easily never leave.

The magical relics were tens of thousands of years ago, before the Odyssey Empire was founded. The Titan Protoss unified the continent, and the rest of the races depended on the Protoss, and the Terrans were also a very small tribe among them. At that time, the martial arts were prosperous, and countless strong people crisscrossed the continent.

Then, for some unknown reason, Roland had deliberately searched for that period of history, but he could not know why. The Titan Protoss standing at the top of the continent fell apart overnight, and the top powerhouses fell one after another. The leaders of various ethnic groups took advantage of the opportunity to rise up, thus forming the current situation of thousands of ethnic groups.

Although the Titans have disappeared into the great river of history, the places where the Titans once lived have become magical relics because of their unique spatial magic abilities, large or small, scattered across the entire continent, and it is difficult to find them.

In Roland's memory, the strongest man who did not know the first generation in history was because he had found the magic relics and obtained the treasures inside, so he rose unstoppably and crisscrossed the continent.

"Is that ruin huge? What about the strength of those adventurers? Roland asked cautiously.

Caon thought for a moment, "That magic relic is not big, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the secret map." The number of adventurers is small, and the strength is uneven, and they are divided into several squads. However, the strongest does not have a silver rank. โ€

"So what are you waiting for?" Roland thought about it, although the peak of the Black Iron Rank was not something he could resist, but be careful, there was still a chance to grab food. Moreover, if things are not good, he also has the confidence to escape with that thing. "Let's two go check it out."

"The two of us?" Caen hesitated, "We don't have enough strength." Where are those Black Iron Pinnacles, and what can we do? โ€

Roland instigated: "We just go to fish in troubled waters, try our luck, and if we don't get it, it's nothing." But what if you get a benefit, don't forget, you still have the secret map in your hand, and we have our own advantages. โ€

"Okay!" Caen was finally persuaded by Roland.
