Chapter 695 Pearl of the Plain
The Great Swordsman landed in front of Roland after the leap.
Her sharp broadsword paused four centiters before Roland’s face and trembled.
The attack was blocked by the Magic Shield, and she couldn’t cut in.
Roland was LV12 anyway, and the person was only LV5. Besides, his Magic Shield had been optimized by him. If the Great Swordsman had cut the Magic Shield, the Mages shouldn’t have existed at all as a class.
After blocking her attack, Roland said casually, “I’m not your enemy.”
The Great Swordsman subconsciously jumped back to keep a distance from him.
It seed to be a foolish decision, considering that Mages were best at remote attacks.
However, having been through many battles recently, the Great Swordsman knew that the Mages had a lot of burst lee skills, such as Ice Ring, Lighting Flash, Thunder Palm, etc. A distance of about two ters was the real “vacuum” distance for a Mage.
Most of the Mage lee spells could be avoided over such a distance. If they were to use remote skills, the lee classes could counterattack faster as long as they reacted quickly enough.
As a high-agility class, the Great Swordsman had advantages in taking the initiative of the battle.
The Great Swordsman looked at Roland warily at first. Then, she gradually beca delighted. “You’re Roland?”
Roland’s videos had always been popular on the forum, so his face in the ga was easy to recognize.
Roland nodded. “One of my friends sent a ssage, saying that a player here knows sothing.”
“That’s , that’s .” The Great Swordsman quickly nodded. “My na in the ga is Watson.”
It seed that she was indeed Jin Wenwen. “Watson, as in Emma Watson?” asked Roland curiously . Watson nodded slightly in embarrassnt.
Roland beca even more curious. “If you are a girl who likes magic, why did you choose to be a Great Swordsman instead of a Mage?” “I like wizardry, not magic,” said Watson both angrily and awkwardly.
Roland smiled and asked solemnly, “Regarding the force that’s trying to deal with ... Can you tell more about it?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s talk in a quieter place.”
Roland voluntarily led her forward.
Walking behind him, Watson stared at his back, deep in thought.
“Huang Wenwei!”
Watson suddenly called out.
Roland continued walking unhurriedly. A few seconds later, he slowly turned around and asked, “Did you call soone’s na just
now?”
“No, I just rembered a friend in reality.”
“Okay.” Roland responded unconcernedly and kept walking. Watson asked, “Mr. Roland, how did you know about ?”
“Like I just friend, a Mage friend told . I’m not very close to him, but he’s from O’Neal’s group,” said Roland casually.
Oh!
Watson heaved a sigh. She too found that Roland was unlikely to be Huang Wenwei.
After all, Roland was the strongest Mage in the ga who had mastered countless resources. He must’ve invested millions on the ga in the early phase.
Principal Huang, for example, had bought almost four thousand gold coins for his equipnt and his group, but he was rely listed as the tenth strongest Warrior.
Huang Wenwei, in comparison, was just an ordinary young man in a small city who had an unremarkable appearance and familial background. He couldn’t have had so many resources.
Pressing on in the forest, Roland dropped three magic spiders to give him better vision. He then activated a magic barrier and said, “Can you tell what you found out?”
“Actually, I didn’t find very much.” Narrowing her eyes, Watson thought for a mont and said, “They have a body collection organization in Aiello that pays for the bodies of the professionals, including the players. So of the new players even voluntarily die a few tis and sell bodies to them. One body can be sold for a gold coin. The higher level you are, the more valuable your body will be. The elites are worth two gold coins. This would be a great business for us if we don’t lose so much EXP in high levels.”
Aiello City?
Roland noted it.
“Anything else?”
“When I snuck in, their leader, who was a Warrior nad Dwayne Johnson, said, ‘The bosses all want the body of Roland from Delpon. Ask around and see if you can find an Assassin who’s good with poisons.”
Although Roland wasn’t fully convinced by Jin Wenwen, he didn’t think that she had any reason to lie to him.
He considered for a mont and said, “Thank you for your intelligence. I have to express my gratitude. Do you want money, or anything
else?”
“Can I stay with the queen and learn from her for ten days?” Watson asked with glittering eyes. “I’m her admirer.”
“She’s not in Delpon. She’s gone to Fareins.” After a mont of hesitation, Roland said, “But I’ll tell her about that. She’ll probably return to Delpon in two to three months. You can co again by then.” “Thank you very much, Mr. Roland!”
“You’re welco!”
Roland summoned a cloud and asked, “I’m going to Aiello. What’s your plan? If you’re going sowhere else, I can give you a ride.” “No, thanks.” Watson looked at the cloud with fear on her face.
Roland found her reaction rather strange, but he realized that she was probably afraid of heights. No wonder she would rather not be a Mage.
After all, most Mages traveled with flying spells. Few of them could teleport here and there like Roland.
Roland stepped on the cloud and quickly rose to the sky.
At this mont, Watson shouted from down below, “Huang Wenwei!”
Roland was absolutely untouched. Even his eyes were the sa. He flew straight away.
Watson heaved a helpless sigh. “He’s really not Huang Wenwei. What a sha. I could’ve asked for resources from him if he were.”
She shook her head and left unhurriedly.
Now that Roland went to Aiello to search for the evil organization, Watson believed that her troubles would be gone soon.
But until then, she had to hide herself well.
Aiello was a very interesting city. It had a special nickna in Hollevin: the Pearl on the East Plain.
There were three cities on the East Plain of Hollevin, and it was one of them.
The other two cities were both bigger, but only Aiello got this na, for a special reason.
It was a city where “nightingales” gathered.
Or to put more frankly, it was the Capital of Sex in Hollevin.
Every country had such a city, including Fareins.
Because he had never left space coordinates in this place, Roland could only fly here on a cloud.
He landed in a wood outside the city and cast Body Fortification and Agility Increase on himself. He then put on a linen cloak from his system Backpack as well as a black mask.
He had dressed up like a Rogue.
Thanks to Body Fortification and Agility Increase, it was fine for him to pretend to be a low-level Rogue. In order to be more convincing, he even took out two daggers and attached them to his belt. He appeared to be a rookie Rogue who was trying to keep a low profile but was actually quite obvious in other people’s eyes.
He didn’t even have to act... He simply copied the experience of Rogues that he read on the forum, and he could already impress anyone as a la Rogue.
Many people were waiting in line to enter the city at the gate. When it was Roland’s turn, four guards stood in his way.
The oldest soldier looked at Roland in an unfriendly way and said, “Where are you from, thief?”
“Garna Village.”
“A Rogue?” asked the soldier with a creepy smile. “Seeing how dumb you are, you must’ve beco a professional only recently. Rember that all the money and items dropped on the ground in Aiello have owners. Whether or not you find anything, you have to pay three silver coins to us every month. Got
it?”
“Got... it.” Roland lowered his head, pretending to feel humiliated yet unable to fight back. “Get inside.” The soldier looked at Roland’s back and said, “The city guards are aware of every Rogue in town. Don’t try your luck.”
If Roland were really a Rogue, he would’ve probably felt frustrated. But he was rely a fake one, so naturally he didn’t feel anything.
He quickly entered Aiello City.
Since the enemy was already looking for him, he would’ve alard them if he had entered the city in his original appearance as a Mage.
It would be fine if he acted like a Rogue.
After all, that was a stealthy class in the first place.
The atmosphere in the Capital of Sex was different from that in other cities.
It was full of lust, and devoid of violence.
It was just like the porn websites, where all the netizens blessed each other, particularly those who offered them resources.
The people here, especially the n, were generally gentle.
The whole city felt warm.
Every male passerby on the street was either happy and satisfied or moving quickly with hope and eagerness, if their faces could be seen.
Such a city was truly enjoyable! Roland even saw male players here and there in the city.
The players were very easy to recognize if they didn’t cover their face.
They were both proud and sowhat awkward in this city. When they ran into others who were likely players, they would turn around guiltily, pretending that they didn’t see them.
Ha!
The city was really interesting.
That was Roland’s first impression of Aiello.
He felt that the city was great, but when he thought of the reason for such an atmosphere, he had mixed feelings.
He checked in at a hotel which seed clean and tidy.
When the boss of the hotel gave him the key, he asked frankly, “Sir, this must be the first ti you’ve visited this place.”
Roland nodded. “You can tell that?”
“Sure.” The boss smiled. “You don’t have the sll of the regular visitors. Do you want to introduce the most beautiful pearls of the city to you?”
“Thank you, but no.” Roland waved his hand. “Won’t it be more fun if I explore the city on my own?”
“Hey, I misjudged you. You’re actually an insider of the trade.”
“Hahahahaha!” Roland laughed aloud.
The boss also laughed with him.
The atmosphere was joyful and friendly.
