Chapter 138: Trade-offs
After a period of contemplation, Roland finally decided.
That's right......
Only by making yourself pope can you save more people after dusk falls.
If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.
100,000 people...... Can be discarded.
An almost merciless gaze flashed in Roland's eyes.
In order to rule the crows together in the future, Roland himself must have enough prestige.
In this sense, Roland's immature appearance was counterproductive—he was not inheriting a sect, but starting a new one. This made him decisively different from the popes who succeeded to the throne at a young age.
And Roland's age is too young.
Even if you add the time of the plague revival, by the end of the plague revival, Roland was only in his early twenties.
The twenty-year-old pope is simply unheard of.
Roland seems to be able to hear what the people at the bottom have to say about him—"the little pope," "the ignorant child," "the bishop's sons are older than him," "the seduction." bewildered by the little white face of the saint".
As a pope, he can't make believers reverent, dependent, and at ease, like a poor father who is not trusted by his children at all.
This is the difference between a voter and a pope.
The elect are accountable to God, and the pope is accountable to man.
If Roland wants to become the agent of the Eternal Sleep Mentor and take over the power, he must not have even the slightest stain on his resume.
Burning Cam, destroying the City of Wealth, and the crimes he will commit in the White Tower, Roland has planned for "Crazy Orlando" to take him down, and then be judged and die in the White Tower, in front of everyone's eyes.
In order to ensure that he already has a natural impairment of prestige, Roland must not let himself be involved in a dime relationship with Dusk.
For example, if he had seen Kakarit perform his Ash Twisting technique, Roland would have killed him sooner or later.
Of course, now is not the time......
After obtaining the supernatural abilities of the Plague Lair. Roland's mind was racing, and the matter was decided in a matter of seconds.
An Ruosi saw that Roland only shouted half of his voice and stopped abruptly, so he turned his head suspiciously: "Mr. Roland, is there something wrong?" ”
Roland, who had suddenly froze before, suddenly came back to his senses and showed a gentle smile at An Ruosi: "It's okay, An Ruosi." You come here. ”
For some reason, Roland's crazy expression suddenly flashed in An Ruosi's heart, An Ruosi shook his head vigorously to dispel this unreliable idea, and ran towards Roland in response.
Before he could run to Roland's side, Roland stretched out his hand and grabbed An Ruosi's head, which immediately startled An Ruosi.
Suddenly, An Ruosi was a little flustered.
It's not that he's nervous because he's never been so close to Roland with his hood off.
An Ruosi suddenly remembered her teacher.
Although his height is close to 1.8 meters, Roland needs to look up to himself at the moment, but he has a sense of being held down by his teacher to give him a lecture.
Also all small people. also has a face that is too beautiful to look like a man, but they all have a daunting and convincing atmosphere......
Therefore, even if Roland didn't roughly press An Ruosi's head lower than his own line of sight like his teacher, An Ruosi's heart was still a little weak.
"An Ruosi, let me ask you," Before An Ruosi could speak, Roland asked in a serious whisper. "Are you sure there's only one living person here?"
An Ruosi immediately understood what Roland wanted to know.
Although the news fed back to him by witchcraft was absolutely unmistakable, it was still a bit false to be asked by Roland like this.
…… Maybe I'm mistaken. Or is it a witchcraft that is wrong...... Whatever......
So An Ruosi just shook his head a little hesitantly: "I'm not sure...... I need to search for humanoids one more time. ”
"Okay."
With this promise, Roland simply let go of his head.
An Ruosi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
At that moment, he had the illusion that he would be bitten off by Roland......
So An Ruosi looked at the surroundings, stretched out his right hand to roughly estimate the length of each room, pondered for a moment, and then stretched out his cane to sketch in the air. A large number of runes appeared before his eyes.
As An Ruosi muttered calculations, the surrounding environmental variables were substituted into the formula one by one, and the white runes were determined to be true, flashing with a soft blue light.
Suddenly, with An Ruosi as the center. Invisible fluctuations began to spread, avoiding all walls, searching for the breath of all the living like a spirit snake.
Seeing this, Roland smiled with satisfaction.
Previously, they were on the ground, and the witchcraft of searching for humanoids could only be cast downwards indiscriminately, and there would inevitably be some errors.
And now that they are underground, without the blocking of rock formations, the sorcery accuracy of searching for humanoids has undoubtedly increased a lot, but it has also increased the difficulty of casting spells.
It's okay to use the astrological spell method, it's nothing more than adding a few constellations related to the underground and then changing the layout, which is essentially no increase in difficulty; However, with the formula method, a large number of complex variables are added as soon as you enter the ground, and the difficulty of calculation is doubled.
It's like seismographies can't ignore the thickness of the rock layer and the type of soil; Meteorite also requires the calculation of falling trajectory, coverage, and aiming error due to wind, and there is basically no wizard's sorcery that is not calculated, except for the Cursed Wizard.
The difficulty of these calculations is the most difficult for the Wizard of the Sword. Nearly every attack they attack involves the distortion of light, the blocking of sound, and the calculation of spatial position. Players are okay, there is a system to assist in the calculation, they only need to lock the approximate range and the rest can not be calculated, but for NPC wizards, every angle, every distance of teleportation needs to be calculated, and the formula for precise teleportation and remote teleportation is not even the same.
When teleporting with people, you can't miscalculate the size of the space occupied by the carrier, and whether you and the carryer will be stuck in the terrain after teleporting.
In the game, you can kill yourself to get out of the stuck, but you don't have such a powerful feature here.
The more reliable An Ruosi is, the more likely it is that Roland will not have to go to those untrustworthy sword wizards in the future.
The world of Faense is just too big. Although it is much smaller than the Earth, it is definitely not something that can be moved quickly in a few days by a single person.
Before the construction of the new White Tower, the telephone-like remote communication device was not widely used at all.
Without the teleportation ability of the Wizard of the Sword, Roland would not have been able to give urgent orders to the district bishops. Moreover, the secrecy of these orders is not guaranteed.
But. If Roland was asked to find a ready-made sword wizard, Roland would not be able to trust them.
Due to professional issues, there are few sorcerers who are not connected to the Assassin Order.
What if one of the contacts you find is actually a member of the Assassin Order?
This is entirely possible, and very likely.
Even if Roland could guarantee that there was no problem with the sword wizard next to him, he couldn't guarantee that there would be no problem with the sword wizard who stayed in the diocese and waited for the arraignment.
In the future, Roland will face an enemy that will be far more difficult to deal with than it is now, and he must plan ahead.
Those who get in with bad intentions don't want to talk about other organizations. Spy. Even if it's a twilight treacher. There must be fine.
An Ruosi was able to estimate the size of the room and the thickness of the walls just by visual inspection without the sensing methods of a silver-level wizard, indicating that he was actually very talented in space.
It's too wasteful for such a person to build fortifications every day, maybe he can be used as a sword wizard if he cultivates it......
The Staff of Broken Throat had been experimenting for a long time, and the wizards weren't as incapable of learning witchcraft across the line, as White Tower had said when they were apprentices.
Presumably, this is probably a white lie made up to ensure that each wizard apprentice of the department concentrates on his own studies.
Just as Roland was thinking, An Ruosi on the other side had already finished searching.
He raised his head, his eyes full of uneasiness: "Mr. Roland......"
Now it goes without saying at all. Roland also understood the results of the search.
Compared to still not finding Maken.
Roland couldn't help but frown.
…… Odd.
Where did he go?
Was Marken not here at all, or had he been killed by Mark?
Or had he fled after Ann Ruosi left?
But why didn't he come back to Anros after he fled?
…… Slowly.
Roland's heart moved.
No matter where Mark goes, even if he is still in the team, he will not be able to play a role for the time being.
Roland is no longer short of that silver-level force.
Don't look at Roland has not yet entered the bronze level, with infinite blood and infinite blue and his own prayers and chanting, even if he comes to a silver rank, Roland can be beaten, and two can fight with a sound and impressive. You can run away from five or less.
I really can't run away...... At least you can call parents.
With the vitality bonus brought by Roland's current template and the defense power of the Sleep Embrace, there are very few existences below the Path of Awakening that can cause Roland to die instantly before he can react.
As long as Roland is still alive. He has the ability to ask the sleeping tutor to come down and beat the children. This is also Roland's confidence to die at will.
But that's a last resort.
The power of the Sleeping Mentor was not at all something that a mere half-goblin could bear, and it was almost the same after he got the blood of mercury.
Now that Roland is no longer short of Marken's bit of force, and in the later stage of the plague revival, Roland may not be able to use Macen's secret chess move at all, and he can use Macen to exchange for something new.
For example, the entry permit for the White Tower.
In general, since it will be troublesome method. It's going to be the easy one.
An Ruosi's ability to use the formula method to perform prophetic sorcery means that he must have a teacher in the star system, and his grades in the star system subjects are definitely not bad.
After all, calculating the position of the stars with the formula of the enchantment system is definitely not as convenient as playing the star system directly.
If Roland could make An Ruo think of asking his astrological teacher to locate Macen's location directly, he would have a reason to sneak into the White Tower directly.
So Roland asked, "An Ruosi." Who are your teachers? ”
Roland didn't expect that when An Ruosi heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Roland, revealing a completely undisguised look of surprise. (To be continued......)
