Chapter 53: Flaws

An old man sat in front of Roland, quietly turning the pages with his back to Roland.

Roland squinted his eyes and looked at him warily through the dim candlelight.

His gray hair was sparse and slightly curled over his shoulders. His shoulders were slightly stiff, and he wore a silver-white ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

The candlelight was so dim that Roland couldn't make out for a moment what was engraved on his ringβ€”it seemed to be some runes, and it looked like a thorn, with a mysterious glow on it.

Roland held his breath and thought in silence.

The unidentified old man appeared to be a scholar. But Roland knows that his identity is definitely not simple.

The ring on his right hand, although the runes on it could not be seen clearly, Roland had already recognized the ring.

This is one of the status symbols of the Great Wizard of the White Tower, representing an academic wizard who specializes in academic research.

The Mithril Ring, known as the Ring of Wisdom, is an enchanted trinket made by the Star Caller. The two witchcraft of "Clear Thinking" and "Memory" are permanently enchanted on it, although the level is not high, but for an academic wizard who has been engaged in academic research all year round, it is already a very sincere prop.

I heard that if you sleep with a clear mind, it will cure insomnia, and Roland doesn't know if it's true.

Then, although the shirt that this old man was wearing was not high-profile, and could even be said to be too homely, in Roland's soul vision, the faint blue starlight that flickered on it was almost blinding-

For Roland, this dress has violated certain taboos.

This is the Guardian of the Stars, which is enchanted with soul dust as a raw material, and is the lining of the robes rationed by the gold-level astrological wizards. It has the ability to heal soul injuries, exempt from mind control, and reduce physical exertion. Although it doesn't have many combat attributes, this piece of equipment is already blue and purple. This is the highest grade item in the Refined category.

Later, when Ismo was running all over the ground, this rare piece of equipment that could increase illusion resistance suddenly became popular. It is for this reason that Roland also remembers this loose piece.

Although it is not clear to Roland why he came to see him in his shirt. But by this time Roland already knew his identity.

He is undoubtedly an astrological wizard. And a great wizard.

Even if the Great Wizard of the Star System is the most, it does not mean that the Great Wizard of the Star System is not valuable. After all, he is also a gold-level professional, even if he is not very good at fighting, it is definitely enough to crush ordinary silver-level professionals.

It's hard to find a gold-level professional...... It's also hard for Farina.

Roland chuckled and said slowly, "I guess you won't let me go." ”

"Yes."

The old man replied succinctly.

"I guess you're not going to kill me."

"Yes."

"Then I don't have anything to say to you."

Roland said this, and closed his eyes slightly: "If you don't kill and don't let go, talking to you is a pure waste of saliva." ”

"You can't say that, little brother."

The old man smiled and put down the pen gently. He closed the page in his hand, slowly stood up and turned around.

"Maybe I'm with you."

Hehe.

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched.

Since you can say this, it means that you are definitely not with me.

"It's hard for her to find such an obedient old dog as you."

Roland chuckled, mocking unbridledly.

He has a very good mentality. Because Falina made a fatal mistake, which was that she underestimated her ability to sue the crow.

She wasn't a crow after all, and she didn't know how far a crow with the blood of mercury could go.

After Roland points his second talent on the body of the mercury of the death system, Roland's body can partially transform into mercury, and then condense into various attacks.

This was evident in the previous attack on Bernard by Roland. Not even limited to his limbs. Roland could even control mercury to stab out of his chest and turn into an awl or a dagger.

Conversely, Roland could turn his hands and feet into mercury and escape from his chains.

In the face of Roland, it is much easier to kill him than to capture him. Roland's immortality is temporarily ineffective after being knocked unconscious by the cold. In other words, it only takes a cold blast or a frost burst to kill Roland in an instant. Wait until Roland gets a death torso above level five. Roland and even his entire body can be turned into a liquid and shaped at will.

If you want to seal Roland, the really effective means is to put Roland red. Stuffed naked into full-coverage armor. The crevices and joints are then sealed with iron juice and covered with a thick layer of ice. That's the case. The coma caused by the cold and the weakness caused by the intense metal allergy can form an internal circulation that seals Roland forever. Until someone helps him touch the seal from the outside.

The fact that he knew that Roland was imprisoned with metal chains, rather than with the reanimated vines that were popular in Carral, was enough to show that Falina knew a certain amount about him.

After all, Falina is a druid, and her mindset will make her subconsciously solve everything in the way she is good at.

But at this moment, a strange light flashed in Roland's eyes.

He noticed that when he said, "This is a pain for her," there was a momentary blankness on the old man's face. Although his expression quickly recovered, Roland bet the old man hesitated for a moment when he said "she".

…… What does that mean?

Is it true that Roland's guess was wrong? In fact, there is no Falina behind him, so he is so surprised when he hears unexpected lines?

No...... On the other hand, it is also possible that he did it on purpose for Roland to see. He just wanted Roland to think that it was not Falina behind him, so he made such a gesture to deviate the suspicious Roland's train of thought.

But on the other hand, it is also possible that the old man is worried about whether Roland is cheating him. Roland didn't know if the boss behind him was a man or a woman, so he asked - as long as Roland had the ability to identify lies, whether the old wizard admitted or denied Roland's speculation, it would bring Roland more information.

Perhaps it was based on this consideration that the old wizard hesitated for a moment, and then decisively chose to avoid answering: "Let me introduce myself first......"

"My name is Tanas."

"Tanas? Tanas of the White Tower? ”

Roland rolled his eyelids slightly and asked with some surprise.

The best wizard in the White Tower, the old wizard who claims to be able to remember every student, has now fallen into this field?

Unexpectedly, Tanas also showed a surprised expression on his face: "What? Do you know me? ”

Do you know me?

Do you know ...... I?

Wait, no-

The moment he said this, an incredible possibility exploded. The bullet usually detonates in Roland's head.

Roland's eyes widened suddenly, and then he kept one expression for a few seconds before revealing a strange smile.

That's it...... In that instant, Roland connected everything together.

This guy in front of him is not Tanas at all, but something else with Tanas's memory!

Most likely to ...... It's the enemy of Kabbalah.

- Or rather, Roland thought he was dead in the first place, Edward! (To be continued.) )
