Chapter 39

The guards did not know how to apply for the certificate?

It was rather tricky . Generally speaking, the staff of an organization should know the basic rules of the organization . But since the guards were unaware of it, it meant that the organization did a great job protecting its secrets, or simply rejected outsiders .

Roland felt that the second possibility made more sense .

So, his primary task was to figure out how to join the Association of Mages and what tests he needed to pass .

Roland left the square and found the inn named Lamb Girl . But he soon exited the inn and cursed Betta for finding such a place .

It was an inn on the surface but was actually a brothel . A bunch of sexy, seductive women were waiting for customers in the lobby . No wonder it was named Lamb Girl!

2However, Roland still made a reservation . After all, Betta said that they would meet here, and Roland couldn’t talk to him through private messages as he could in other games . He had to propose a different rendezvous when they actually met again .

1Roland intended to ask where he could find sources of intelligence, but everybody kept their distance from him . At first he thought it was because he looked strange, but he then realized that this didn’t make sense .

2There were a lot of people in this city . One couldn’t be familiar to all one million people living here .

So, the problem must be himself .

It was his clothing!

The magic robe that Falken gave him was not of a high quality, but even ordinary people could vaguely see the flow of magic elements on it .

Well… He found a tailor shop on the street . The boss was too frightened to even speak when a Mage walked in .

But then, he gradually relaxed after seeing how friendly Roland was .

5He measured Roland’s height and size and prepared a set of common clothes for him .

Then, Roland stored the magic robe in his Backpack and asked the boss where he could get information .

The boss told him about a tavern named Gray Sand .

Roland knew the moment he arrived why the place was a source of information .

It was a fairly large tavern . The first floor for drinking took up almost two thousand square meters .

4The second floor, which was about the same size, was supported by a dozen enormous stone pillars .

Many people were crowded together in this place .

Roland’s arrival did not catch too much attention .

He was not using magic or wearing the eye-catching magic robe, so he appeared to everyone as an ordinary person .

The place was noisy . Half-drunk customers were talking, laughing, and even cursing blatantly .

There were also many escorts who were entertaining the customers with their sexiness .

The air was filled with hormones and desires .

Roland sat down in an empty corner . Hardly had his butt touched the chair when a smelly, freckled woman approached him .

She was about to stick herself to Roland, when she suddenly felt cold . She lowered her head, only to discover that her chair was rooted in place by ice .

Also, the ice seemed to be spreading to her feet .

Immediately sobering up, she tried to leave . No ordinary people wanted to get involved with a spellcaster .

Roland said, “Please call the manager of this tavern for me . I have a favor to ask . ”

The tavern was noisy, but the woman heard Roland clearly .

The woman actually looked pretty, but Roland did not appreciate her freckles, although many might found freckles adorable .

9The woman nodded quickly and left in a hurry .

Very soon, a mustached man walked over .

His hair looked like a square brick, and his black clothes were made of expensive fabrics . He asked Roland softly, “Mr . Spellcaster, are you looking for me?”

Roland nodded .

“I’m the manager of this tavern . It seems to me that you want intelligence, right?” The man eyed Roland and said slowly, “You may call me Gru . ”

5“Mr . Gru, greetings . ” Roland nodded again and smiled despite the noisy environment . “My name is Roland . I’m a Golden Son . ”

1It was a game setting that players were Golden Sons . Since Falken knew it, the people in this city should be aware of it, too .

“Golden Son?” Briefly stunned, Gru asked, “The Golden Sons who can be revived after death?”

Roland nodded .

Gru immediately felt a strong headache .

Even the most formidable enemies had weaknesses, but an enemy who could resurrect could learn their weaknesses from their deaths until they had no weaknesses .

“Where did you hear about us?” Roland asked .

Gru said with a heavy heart, “Two Golden Sons were in this city a month ago . They had conflicts with a noble . Although the Golden Sons were killed and weakened many times, they managed to kill most of the nobles’ guards . ”

Impressive… The two players were rather bold to challenge a noble when they were so weak .

Curiously, Roland asked, “Where are they now?”

“It’s impossible for a noble to fight an unkillable enemy, so he moved to the capital with his family and the remaining guards . The Golden Sons are after him,” said Gru helplessly . “The two are determined to kill the noble . ”

4Roland was slightly surprised that the two players had killed so many people .

The NPCs were no different from real people . Wouldn’t they feel like murderers if they killed the NPCs?

Could they be disturbed?

Thinking for a moment, Roland shook his head and ignored it . He said to Gru, “I’m here mainly to ask if you know how to join the Association of Mages . ”

Gru observed Roland in surprise for a moment and said, “Of course . Normal people need a certificate, but I don’t think you do . ”

“Why?” asked Roland in surprise . “I was stopped by the guards . ”

“If you can use magic, you can go to Mr . Aldo, the deputy chairman of the Association of Mages . He will give you a certificate . ”

“Simple as that?” Roland was surprised .

Gru shook his head . “No, it’s very hard . Ordinary people cannot master magic . At least in Delpon, no more than ten out of a million people can become a Mage . ”
