Thanks to WRHS for 1 commuter pass!

…………………………

At this time, calm was restored in the maple leaf town.

The gnolls were quickly crushed by the onslaught of the Shadow Legionnaires, and fled in a hurry towards the outside of the town.

In order to avoid some surprises in the future, Roland decided to let Hoggs lead the Shadow Legionnaires in pursuit.

It is estimated that it will only take an hour or so for the Shadow Legionnaires to complete the task.

Of course...... This is without encountering accidents.

You know, this forest in the southwest of Bruman is a very dangerous place.

"Alas...... Level 30 monsters, even if you kill them all, you don't have much experience. ”

Roland looked at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In that time, I had killed hundreds of gnolls, but the experience gained was not as good as killing a level 50 monster.

"Huh, blue light?"

Roland was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly noticed a blue glow flashing from the corpse on the ground.

Looking closely, I saw that the faint blue light came from the charred corpse of the previous gnoll leader.

Roland hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to step forward and examine the mysterious object that shone with a blue light. And his intuition told him that that thing should not be simple.

With a bang, Roland pushed away the corpse that smelled of burnt flesh and put the thing in his hand.

It's just the true face of that thing. It surprised him a little.

Because it turned out to be a map with a faint blue light, with words and routes depicted on it, and the faint blue light came from those routes above.

Could it be a treasure map?

If it's really the same as he guessed. This sparkling blue treasure map is not simple, and it is definitely possible to harvest something precious.

You know, both in the past game and at this time, treasure maps are not very easy to get.

Even if it bursts out from a monster of more than thirty levels, you can't ignore it. There was a rare case where a player unusually burst a treasure map from a level 10 boss, and it was a normal white treasure map.

At first. That doesn't care too much for the player and gives it to other players.

Outcome...... The player who later gets the treasure map goes on an adventure based on that treasure map. In the end, I actually got a set of artifact armor.

This kind of harvest directly made the previous players extremely red-eyed, and they asked for the return of the artifact many times. It is said that after that time, they also singled out each other in reality several times.

"Thank you, lord, for your help...... And we didn't expect you to be a magician. ”

Suddenly. A voice interrupted Roland's musings.

Roland hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that the old mayor Jonathan came to his side with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mayor Jonathan, what's the matter?"

He was stunned for a moment, put the treasure map away, and asked suspiciously.

Of course, the old mayor also noticed Roland's small movements, but he didn't care, smiled and continued: "It's nothing, it's just because your lordship has helped Maple Town solve a big problem for more than ten years. So we want to have a celebratory banquet, will you be there? ”

"Of course I'll be there, I'm looking forward to it."

Roland glanced around at the townsfolk with anticipation on their faces. He smiled slightly and said.

It's just a civilian banquet, and of course he won't refuse.

As soon as the words were spoken, the townspeople burst into exclamations and hurried towards their homes.

"Great! I'm going to have to make this a good time, Morris. Take out all the fine wines I treasure. ”

"The insatiable gnolls have finally been driven away...... Thank God. ”

"I'm the best chef out there, just a banquet. I'm sure I'll be able to do it. ”

“…………”

Roland couldn't help but smile dumbly as he looked at the scene in front of him.

It seems that those gnolls have really bullied Maple Leaf Town for a long time, otherwise these civilians would definitely not have this feeling of being reborn.

"Hey, don't forget to clean up the corpses here, I don't want to see blood and corpses on the ground in the town."

The old mayor Jonathan looked at the townspeople who left in a hurry, and couldn't help but quickly stretched out his hand to point to the ground and shouted loudly.

But his roar elicited only a few responses.

"Mayor Jonathan, if you ask someone to inform you after the level banquet starts, I'll go back first."

Roland said lightly to the old mayor beside him, and then turned around and followed the same path back.

At this time, he had to hurry up and create the magic teleportation array that was connected to the imperial capital.

When the magic teleportation array is complete, then he can transfer between the two places at any time. Even if he fails to compete for the throne in the future, he can immediately escape to this barren land, which can be regarded as a way for him to retreat.

After all...... His arrival has caused too many unknowns in this world.

"Your Lord, you can't read the words on the drawings just now, do you?"

Suddenly, the old mayor Jonathan called out to Roland, who was about to leave.

"You know the words?"

Roland looked back at the old mayor in front of him in surprise, and if he knew that it was mysterious, it would be best if he didn't have to wonder what it meant.

But the old mayor's reply surprised him a little.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I don't know what it means...... But I do know what kind of script it is, it seems to be from the centaur race. ”

"Centaurs? This...... Thank you, Mayor Jonathan. ”

In an instant, Roland remembered the figure of the centaur girl Christie.

If it were her, she might be able to understand what the words on the treasure map meant.

Therefore, it is necessary to quickly build a teleportation array now. Then take the centaur girl.

As soon as such a thought appeared, it grew irrepressibly in Roland's mind. He thanked him, and quickly used teleportation to leave the place. Rushing towards his lord's house.

With a bang, Roland pushed open the door of the house and hurried towards the interior of the room.

Since it's a teleportation array, of course, it's set up in a relatively wide backyard.

And in the near future, he will be able to build a secret base in the forest outside his backyard.

After all, there are some soldiers left behind in this territory to protect the Tree of Origin in the courtyard and the townspeople.

"Lord Roland. You're back! ”

Retanas looked excitedly in the direction of the gate and whispered.

But her inquiry was not answered. I saw Roland wave his hand at them, and then walked in the direction of the backyard without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Retanas was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

As for Galia, who changed into a maid outfit, she hesitated. In the end, I chose to keep up.

Although Galia was reluctant to change into this maid's outfit, there was only this kind of women's clothes in this house, and there was no other clothes to wear.

She couldn't wear even men's clothes.

Because as soon as Galia put it on, the majesty of her upper body immediately stretched out on her chest.

After a while, when Retanas and Galia arrived in the backyard, they found Roland drawing some kind of symbol with the silver liquid spilled from the container in his hand.

"What are you doing here, Lord Roland?"

Retanas glanced at Roland quizzically, then at the strange stripes and patterns on the ground.

At this time. Before Roland could speak, Galia answered the question for him.

"He's sketching out the rudiments of a magical teleportation array...... And it's also an ancient magic array...... Very profound! ”

"...... the magic teleportation array?"

Hearing this, the girl's eyes were full of adoration when she looked at Roland.

Know the magician who can construct a magic teleportation array. That's definitely a very powerful cunzài, and it seems that she chose this mentor a very wise choice.

"yes, if Retanas wants to learn, I can teach you later."

Roland said in a slow voice as he cautiously sketched the magic array on the ground.

In fact, this magic array was seen in the Book of Enoble. Now it's just right now, so he's going to structure it according to what was written above.

As for the difference between it and the current magic array. Then Roland is not very clear.

"Well, thank you, Lord Roland."

Retanas immediately responded, crouching on the ground with his knees folded, his eyes watching all of Roland's movements.

But Roland, who was building a teleportation magic array, didn't know that an extremely terrifying undercurrent was gathering in the calm Aston City at the moment.

…………………………

In one of the rooms of the sprawling Bloman Palace, a woman sits on a chair and looks out at the balcony.

If Roland is here, he will find out that this is Her Royal Highness the Second Princess: Ainara.

"Plans are underway...... What happened to the things you were asked to do before? ”

Ainara said indifferently to the void beside her.

But now Aynara was the only one in the room, who was she talking to?

After a while, another female voice appeared in the room: "That Baron Roland seems to have traveled to the southwest of Bluman, as for what happened to him in the Duke of Knox's mansion...... I don't know, but there was a terrible burst of darkness from within. ”

"Really......"

"Ainara, why don't you kill him?"

"No...... He possesses a powerful dark power, and he is destined to be our companion. ”

An eerie smile appeared on Ainara's face, like a cunning fox.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly said to the air beside her, "By the way, has Evelyn been active in the southwest of Bluman recently?" Help me inform her not to hurt Baron Roland...... For the purification of the dark church. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Ainara."

As soon as the words were spoken, the room returned to peace, and Anara lay down in her chair as if she had fallen asleep.
