Blood of Mercury

"Welcome... squeak-white... this is the Seventh Ring... Iron Curtain City... please... hum... Line 2..."

The screeching noise of poor contact was still coming from both sides of the street.

Heavy gray dust filled the air, thick enough to block the sun. Under the dim light of dim light, the whole city reverberated with the eerie silence of black and white silent films.

Fortunately, Roland and the others are leaving now.

Last night, Roland finally chose to pass his hand to Claudia.

But nothing strange happened to them. As the long-sleeping tutor said, Claudia was just here to look after Roland.

Roland can understand this. After all, if it is not Claudia who finds that Roland is not in the room, but the hotel waiter, An Russ and even Robert, then things will be troublesome.

But understanding doesn't mean accepting—

"You know, Miss Claudia, I almost scared me to death last night..."

"What's up?"

"Last night, I fell asleep, and a real sense of crisis woke me up from my dream in an instant - guess what? I looked out the window, and a battle wizard in a blood robe was floating outside my window... "

…9,

"...blood robe?"

"Yes, his wizard robe is soaked with blood. With the rude fighting style of a combat wizard, I'm afraid he has torn up several guests."

"How do you know he's a battle wizard?"

"Hey... In addition to battle wizards, who else can get the ability to stay in the air before the silver rank..."

Roland looked silently at Robert, who was walking in front of him and kept talking to Claudia, with complicated eyes.

It would be impossible to say that he had no feelings for Claudia at all.

After all, after he appeared in this world. The first person I saw was Claudia. Thanks to her treating Roland's wounds, Roland was able to survive in a state of near-death. Instead of being chopped up by the old man as a black robe or simply dying of blood loss in the wild.

From this point of view, it is no exaggeration for Claudia to say that she is Roland's benefactor. Roland can be said to be grateful to Claudia from the very beginning.

Add to that Claudia's long blond hair, delicate skin and delicate face. If Roland is not at all tempted, then it must be something that Roland has to hide...

If she was still on Earth, and according to Roland's unbridled style, Claudia would never have thought of leaving last night.

However, now Roland has no childish love for a long time.

Roland believes that ease degenerates. Once a person is gentle, even the sword will blunt.

The White Tower will collapse in a month at most, and the plague will revive in another three weeks.

That will be the last time Roland can move freely - or level up. Roland's rank must at least reach the level of the Temple of Truth to have the least possibility of establishing a sect.

No, the Temple of Truth can only protect itself...in order to form a Peace Council. Roland needs to reach the level of the highest spire in at least a year.

Tyre's elector and Pope Jupiter IV, Starcaller Parbuchko, Professor Victor, and Marco, who can be promoted as long as he is freed from the Origin Runaway, may be enemies of Roland. There are four at the highest spire level.

And Roland can win only one Esther, and at most one professor.

Even if he can advance to the highest spire, he can only temporarily stalemate the situation.

Now what Roland needs most is to buy time... In the one month in the White Tower, Roland must accumulate enough experience to push to the golden rank, and then immediately kill the tree of suffering and awaken the origin after resurrection.

In this case, after half of the revival of the plague has passed, he will almost be able to break out of the road of awakening. This is the most time-saving method.

When the plague revival was over, the racial locks of all races were unlocked. Ordinary people will no longer be limited to the black iron rank and cannot advance. At that time, it will be the age when bronze is full of silver and silver is not as good as a dog. Only when Awakening Origin enters the Hall of Truth can Roland have the minimum confidence that he will not be defeated by the tactics of the sea of ​​people.

He made a rough estimate. His current experience pool is enough to push his level to the peak of silver. But once you enter the golden rank, the experience of upgrading one level is even more than that of the sixth level of silver.

So do you want it again...

... no, no.

The situation is different between the White Tower and the City of Fortune... In case Roland goes too far. Then it is very likely that Roland was not killed by a public trial, but was directly assassinated by the Waste Bureau.

so. Where does the experience come from...

Roland suddenly raised his head and fixed his gaze on Robert.

"...Then I copied the slicing technique. The wizard who didn't have any resistance was turned into mince by me," Robert gushed to Claudia, "After that, the lightning strike technique should be able to Chop his soul to pieces too..."

Roland watched for a long time, and suddenly showed a bright smile.

Yes. Roland regretted it.

Robert has other uses, so he can't be approached by the reckless Claudia.

"Miss Hurland" must come by herself.

So Roland stepped forward and whispered in a gentle voice: "Mr. Robert, can you elaborate? About your heroic deeds last night..."

An Ruosi, who was beside him, shuddered, and Claudia sighed deeply, taking a step back to make room for Roland.

Although Claudia was very happy that Roland took that annoying fly away from him, but looking at Roland's unusual expression, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

That hunch—or intuition was constantly reminding her that Roland was definitely not at ease right now.

"Is Hurland interested?"

Robert turned his head in surprise: "Actually, I..."

At this moment, the group of them happened to walk into the No. 2 underground teleportation hall.

This is an urban functional facility similar to a subway. The land in the demarcated area is rolled up like a wave with a controlled ground movement, and a large number of people are transported to other areas without affecting the traffic on the ground.

Just when Robert lowered his head and said something to Roland, the noisy broadcast sound interrupted by the magic dust suddenly sounded from Roland and his party: "Welcome... No. 2... White... Five rings..."

The sound seemed to be severely disturbed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com couldn't help but couldn't hear it clearly, and it made a sharp noise, causing the passengers to frown and cover their ears one by one, with expressions of pain on their faces.

Roland tore off his mask with his hand, moved his lips slightly towards Robert, and then the two nodded with a smile.

Amid the screeching noise of the broadcast, Roland took a last look at the load-bearing wall of the No. 2 underground teleportation hall, went in and found a seat, and sat beside Robert.

He inadvertently turned his head and glanced at Claudia and An Ruosi.

In their inexplicable gaze, the corners of Roland's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an undisguised happy smile.

"Okay, you can take off the mask when you get here..."

Roland said with a serious face.

Except for Roland, and no one noticed, Joseph, who had been silently following at the end, disappeared from the team at some point—(To be continued..)
