Chapter 57: Different Ideologies
When Aldo found Roland, he was analyzing and inferring the new nodes and routes of Language Proficiency in his lab.
By Roland’s estimation, since the spell could let the recipient understand what other people said, it could certainly let him understand what they wrote when he found the correct route of nodes. There must be other effects if he connected the hundred of nodes in different ways.
Deduction, experint, failure, recording... The whole process was repeated again and again.
Roland was completely dedicated to his magic experint. Although his notebook was invisible for outsiders, his ntal power that was spreading and collapsing every once in a while was obvious.
The door of the lab was open. Standing at the door, Aldo watched Roland doing unknown experints and sensed his gathering and collapsing power.
He observed Roland’s pained face when his ntal power collapsed.
He stood at the door for half an hour. His smile at the beginning was gone.
When Roland’s experint failed again, he walked in.
Roland was holding his head. It was rather painful.
The physical pain had been reduced to one-tenth, but the pain of the soul was not soothed.
Right now, Roland’s soul was hurting. ntal power seed to be connected to his soul.
As a modern young man, Roland did not really believe in the soul.
But recently, his mindset had changed.
There may be souls, except souls were not a superstitious concept but a specific matter that could not be detected by modern science yet.
The essence of ntal power was actually the movent of the soul.
It was Roland’s personal speculation after having done so many magic experints in the ga over the past two months.
The pain on the soul could not be alleviated by the system, so he could only pause his experint.
Roland heard footsteps. He raised his head and smiled. “Chairman, you’ve finally co to the magic tower.”
Looking at Roland’s pale face, Aldo was secretly shocked, but he said casually, “You’re working too hard. You should take a rest.”
“It’s not easy to find sothing interesting that you like. If you don’t work hard, you will grow old before you know it. By then, neither your body nor ti will allow you to work hard anymore.” Roland smiled. “It’s rather unusual to et you here, chairman.”
“I’m here to forward a ssage.” Aldo found no seats in the lab, and the atmosphere did not feel right. “Why don’t we talk in your study?”
“All right!”
The two of them ca to the study.
Since Roland had only just moved in, there was nothing to entertain guests in his study. According to the social customs in reality, he could offer tea, or at least so cookies, to guests.
Therefore, Roland looked embarrassed at this mont.
Aldo put on a teasing smile. There was a similar practice among the nobles, so he knew exactly why Roland was embarrassed.
At this mont, Vivian arrived with a tray. She put the tray between them and slightly bowed. “Please enjoy, sirs.”
Then she left.
On the tray were two cups of wine and lovely desserts that were obviously made by a girl.
Aldo’s teasing smile was even bigger. “What a charismatic deputy chairman we’ve got! It’s been three years since Vivian ca to the magic tower, but I never saw her so enthusiastic.”
Well... Roland did not know how to react. He could only show that he had no feelings for Vivian with an expressionless face.
He did accidentally see her body last ti with his ntal power, but he had seen the naked bodies of too many porn stars.
He had gained enough resistance and wouldn’t be as overwheld as a boy.
Seeing that Roland was not interested in the topic, Aldo sighed. “This is not good. Although few people can understand Mages, you can try to understand other people. I’ve seen too many powerful Mages who died alone without anyone helping bury them.”
Roland, however, said, “I’ve had won before!”
There was code in the conservation between n. Aldo knew exactly what Roland ant.
He was not interested in Vivian.
Slightly sighing, Aldo found Vivian pitiful. He then said solemnly, “Let’s get down to business. I saw the model of your Hand of Magic downstairs. Did you work it out on your own?”
Roland nodded and asked, “Did you notice any errors?”
“No!” Aldo said even more seriously, “It’s the most valuable magic model I’ve seen, with not only the traditional routes but also the roadmap of the derivative spells. You’ve redefined a level-zero trick into a special spell close to level two, which will be a surprise for all Mages. You’re the most talented Mage I’ve seen.”
A level-two spell?
Roland waved his hand with a smile. “You’re flattering , chairman. I believe that many could’ve done the sa, except that they never tried it.”
“That’s exactly my point.” Aldo sat straight and said in a rigorous tone, “You need to keep it to yourself! I’ll hide your model for you this ti. In the magic world, geniuses often attract jealousy. You are not weak right now, but you are still far away from being a master or one of the legendary Mages. If anyone learns of your ability, you may die an abrupt death, or end up as a powerful Mage’s prisoner, modifying spells for them for the rest of your life.”
Roland was about to enjoy the drink. Stunned, he said, “They do not like communication of magic theories? Is communication not a good thing?”
“It’s not a good thing to them,” said Aldo with intense sarcasm. “Otherwise, how could they monopolize important magic knowledge and maintain the glory of their families for hundreds of years?”
Roland was amused to hear that. He wondered if he should call for a revolution in this world.
Seeing that Roland was stunned, Aldo thought that Roland had accepted his warning. He was relieved. “You’d better keep your understanding to yourself until you et soone trustworthy, all right?”
“As a matter of fact, I don’t have to be so cautious,” replied Roland.
Aldo was dazed.
“As a Golden Son, I do not die in this world.” Roland smiled. “I will not stop sharing my knowledge with the apprentices in the tower, as long as they want to learn. As to whether or not anyone wants to kill ... They will regret it if they ever try it.”
Rendered speechless, Aldo suddenly burst into laughter when he saw how confident Roland was.
