in the name of the queen

Chapter 181 Teacher, I want to learn magic!

Master Anthony's gray hair and beard stood up without any wind, and his clothes were bulging out from the constant surge of magic power.

As the magic robe was blown up, strong muscles containing explosive power suddenly appeared.

Roland sighed inwardly, who said that magicians have poor physical fitness?
The old man's stature and strength are quite impressive among knights.

Without enough strength, there is simply no way to support the physical exertion of releasing magic.

Teacher Anthony went berserk, but Roland didn't stop him in a hurry.

Although the tree demon surrendered, what suppressed the golden tree demon was the threat of death and the remaining power of the elf Sif, who did not truly convince him.

Just let the master add some strength to these wooden heads, so that they will not think that the human race is unmanned.

Under the threat of Anthony's monstrous flames, the golden tree demon reluctantly withdrew its disguise, and the golden ginkgo tree appeared in broad daylight.

"Magic, I am Lord Roland's servant, what do you want to do?"

Anthony looked at Roland with some confusion.

The golden tree demon swayed the crown of the tree, as if with its hands on its hips, looking particularly proud.

The roar caused the surrounding leaves to fall.

Wooden heads also have self-esteem.

Now there's Sophia.

Roland smiled and praised: "Although I have never seen the seven powerful people take action, I feel that they are no match for the master."

"That's right, we are Roland's forest friends and we are willing to do everything for him!"

After Anthony's intimidation, the golden tree demon became more honest.

Nor did he intend to mint new gold coins in the image of the late emperor.

However, the stored fireball could not be recovered, so he had to find a place to release it. He looked around and found a rock without magic crystal veins, and threw the fireball out with a loud shout.

A powerful mortal.

Of course Roland would not object.

It obediently accepted Anthony's arrangement and expressed its willingness to help.

Roland helped him finish the words in his heart.

This is the pinnacle of normal level seven.

The late emperor had limited abilities and was a standard mediocre king. It would be unlucky to use him to mint coins. After much deliberation, I finally decided to use the founding monarch and the first recognized emperor as the avatar.

"Roland, this world is very big, don't be arrogant. You will meet the real strong people in the future. But you are right about one thing. A hundred years ago, I was indeed as good as the other seven strong people. Now"

"They are my forest friends."

You can't even hire such top-notch thugs, so it's best to take the initiative.

The world is a big place and it’s not easy to see it.

The world is a big place, not just Rodinia and Sussex.

Although there was a contract, Roland still took care of the tree demon's mood.

If you're crazy, you can even use Sif's image to mint coins.

This is a man who can sing a duet with a siren without relying on a magic amplification circle.

As long as Sif gives permission, the satrapy can mint its own gold coins.

The threatening tone revealed the golden tree demon's lack of confidence.

Although the world is full of wonders, Sophia is still a bit of a supermodel.

However, the existence of Sophia breaks the traditional perception.

Anthony was very satisfied with Roland's sincere flattery, but when he thought about this person, his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Complaints are complaints, but Roland still agreed with Anthony's statement.

Anthony was in a good mood after getting the magic crystal mineral vein. With a wave of his hand, he decided to invest Roland in gold that could be used to mint approximately 10 million pounds of gold coins.

After some careful exploration, Anthony marked the coordinates in the nameless valley and temporarily placed a teleportation magic circle to make it easier to come over at any time.

But Roland didn't like being so arrogant.

Just when the dryad was in pain and Roland had a headache, the huge fireball hit the rocks nearby, as if it was hit by a heavy bomb. The rocks flew everywhere and destroyed many flowers and plants.

Anthony was a little confused, but seeing that Roland didn't look like he was bewitched, he had to believe it.

He was scared when he heard Mr. Anthony's voice.

This kind of person should be discovered and taken back by the Supreme Law. This is obviously a BUG!

The Southern Continent full of mysterious witchcraft, the New Continent full of ancient ruins, overseas islands said to be hiding mysterious creatures, the mysterious Sea of ​​Death Nemo, and the vast depths of the sea are all places that claim to be civilized. Places that Dinians have yet to explore in depth.

The combat power she displayed was at the peak of level six or even level five.

Roland only wished he didn't cover his ears.

With Master Anthony's strength, it is not a problem to face two or three thousand people on the battlefield, and he is very flexible.

It not only commemorates the glory of the empire, but also expresses aspirations.

The Governor-General has a chartered right to mint coins, so he doesn't have to argue with the cabinet.

As long as the minted gold coins are of good quality and of sufficient weight, everyone will accept them.

The issuance of banknotes requires a complete credit system and a strong central government, and it has not yet been promoted nationwide.

Only a few bonds perform the functions of paper money.

Paper money is easier to use and store than metal currency, but reform cannot be achieved overnight.

Roland was not in a hurry.

Compared with currency reform, dealing with the threat of Sophia is more urgent.

Taking advantage of Master Anthony's good mood, Roland asked him about the surviving seven powerful men on the way back to Hansa City.

Anthony pondered for a moment and said slowly: "According to my experience, there are about thirty people in Rodinia's seventh-level transcendent. As the Return Day approaches, some people quit and some are promoted, and the total number should exceed a hundred. Before the Return Day People who can’t catch the bus will probably be eliminated.”

Roland asked curiously: "Master Anthony, do you know the specific time of the return day?"

"I know, December 1795, 12 in the New Calendar."

"So accurate?" This time it was Roland's turn to be surprised.

Anthony smiled but did not answer, with a bit of pride on his lips.

Seeing his happy expression, Roland also laughed. If you don’t say it, don’t say it. Just make plans according to the time the old man said.

Alina's calculation is also three to five years later, which should be this time point.

He thought of someone and asked softly: "Do you know Macbeth?"

"I know, he is a disgusting, despicable and shameless waste, but he is not weak at all. Why do you ask him?" Anthony was a little curious.

"If nothing else, he is my enemy."

"What grudge do you have?" Anthony stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

With Macbeth's ability, it is probably impossible to become a true Rank Six. He can only find ways to hunt down fellow travelers on the same star journey. This is a hatred that cannot coexist.

Looking at Roland from the corner of his eye, Anthony tried again: "Do you want to switch to magic? I can accept the last disciple and teach you carefully according to the standards of a direct disciple. With your talent, you will become an intermediate magician within three years."

"Can you beat Macbeth?"

"Looking at your learning speed, there is a great chance. If you are really worried, I can do it for you." Anthony's tone was full of confidence, and he didn't take Macbeth seriously at all.

Roland originally wanted to remind Anthony that Macbeth was an old scumbag, but thinking that Anthony and Macbeth must have crossed paths and knowing that they were incompatible with each other, he simply stopped saying the frustrating words.

He did not rush to express his position and asked casually: "Where is Sophia?"

Anthony almost couldn't breathe. He glared at Roland angrily, "No one in level seven that I know is her opponent. She shouldn't be here!"

Thinking of Sophia, Anthony was also a little discouraged.

He is close to two hundred years old, and his potential is at a glance.

He may be able to survive until the fourth return day, but what happens after that?

Rank 3/Magister is respected by people as a strong man in the holy realm. A strong man in the holy realm can defeat an army by himself and level a city with magic.

Strong men in the holy realm usually stay away from mortal struggles and compete for tickets to enter the divine realm.

The limit of his life is to stand at the gate of the sanctuary and look up at the sky.

He didn't dare to think about whether he could ascend to the Holy Land.

Seeing Anthony's sad expression, Roland quickly changed the subject and asked softly: "Master Anthony, you are well-informed. Can you tell me about higher-level powers?"

"Ranks nine to seven and the corresponding junior and intermediate magicians are still ordinary. Although they are powerful, they may be hurt by guns and ordinary weapons."

"Rank six and above is the true meaning of the extraordinary state. There is no qualitative change from level six to level five, but the strength is constantly increasing. The strength shown by Sophia is almost the threshold of the peak of level six to level five."

Roland felt a little headache.

He suddenly had the illusion that Sophia was the protagonist and he was an evil supporting character.

It's really a big deal to have such a supermodel enemy who looks like the Creator filled in the data with his feet.

Although he talks harshly every day and continues to brainwash Sif, he knows very well that according to the normal progress, even if he and his friends are at the seventh level per person, they will not be able to compete with Sophia.

A wheel battle is possible, but it requires Sophia's cooperation to fight to the death without retreating.

Sophia is not a fool. She turns around and leaves when the situation is not right. Who can stop her?
A normal person would not be able to sleep well when encountering this kind of thing, but Roland was not a normal person.

You have to fight even if you can't win.

At least it has to have a united front value so that Sophia can't bite and buy it with a price.

If it can't even achieve the value of united front, it will naturally be a dead end.

The bottom line in Roland's heart is to save his and Sif's lives. The imperial supremacy is a matter for living people to consider, and nothing will happen if they die.

Looking at Roland's calm expression, Anthony was a little surprised. He smiled and teased:
"Aren't you afraid?"

Not only was I afraid, my whole body was numb.

Roland shouted silently in his heart, others who traveled through time all started with Long Aotian's invincibility. How he started was just the background. Who can he ask to reason with?

Faced with Anthony's teasing, he smiled, spread his hands, and laughed at himself softly, "If you can't beat me, you have to find a way. At least you have to show off your style."

"What happens after you show off your style?" Anthony asked curiously.

"If it doesn't work, just shoot." Roland seemed to be talking about the outcome of a game.

Anthony: "."

He couldn't tell whether Roland was joking or serious, but he knew not to ask anything more from Roland.

He laughed and did not continue the topic.

No matter how strong Sophia is, she is only an existence comparable to the fifth threshold of the rank. There is always a way to think of.

The real despair will be when the three goddesses come to the world.

Bad news: He has no idea how to compete with a returning goddess.

The good news: He definitely won't live to see that day.

The future troubles are left to the young man, he is too lazy to think about it.

In its heyday, the Magic Empire could only barely defeat the Legion of God's Punishment with the cooperation of barbarian supernatural beings.

If we could win a big victory that year and take advantage of the situation to unify the entire plane, integrate all resources and continue trial and error, there might still be a chance.

It's a pity that I missed it.

You only get one chance.

There was no intelligent life in the First Age, ever.

The Gods (self-proclaimed) who created a glorious civilization in the Second Age succeeded, and the three goddesses were born.

The elves and earth spirits of the Third Age tried, but failed and exterminated their clans. The dragons, phoenixes, original beasts and other powerful races in the fourth era and the orcs in the fifth era tried, but failed, and were almost exterminated.

In the sixth era, the Magic Empire tried, failed, and almost wiped out the entire race.

Now the baton is in the hands of the barbarians.
Anthony was inexplicably discouraged.

Compared to those powerful races that once challenged the divine realm, human beings can be said to have nothing.

In terms of magical talent, they cannot compare with elves, in terms of strength, they cannot compare with orcs, in terms of noble bloodline, they cannot compare with dragons and phoenixes, and in terms of technology and comprehensive strength, they cannot compare with the porcelain gods.

In the plane of Theia in the sixth era, most of the resources are consumed, and intelligent life is also degenerating.

There was no hope at all.

Although humans are the most creative race, do we really have a chance?

The frustrated Anthony sighed and saw Roland's calm and confident expression from the corner of his eye.

He was stunned and suddenly realized that he was old.

The future indeed belongs to young people.

Although Roland's strength was not strong enough, he was not beaten to the point of losing confidence. He was still a vigorous young man.

Under Roland's expectant gaze, Anthony sighed again.

"I don't know if it's level three or above. There are only vague records in the classics. All I can find is that video, which you have seen."

Roland nodded.

He is still far from the threshold of the Holy Realm, and there will naturally be a way to know when the time comes.

Seeing Anthony's depressed expression, Roland thought he was sad because he had not received an apprentice, so he smiled and said:

"Master Anthony, what you are best at is fire magic, right?"

"Nonsense, I am a rare all-powerful magician! It's just that I'm better at the fire element."

Anthony was a little dissatisfied that Roland said he was biased, so he corrected him with a serious expression.

"I have a friend who is good at manipulating flames and is very young. Can you see if she meets the conditions to become your disciple?"

"Seriously?" Anthony's eyes lit up.

The Magic Association is short of people, seriously short of people.

If there are good seedlings, they can cultivate more magicians.

However, the barbarians guarded them tightly and refused to let the top talents to them.

Occasionally, some young people are sent to learn magic, which is also an unfair trade.

These young people have received strict brainwashing education, and even if they receive magic training, they will not take the initiative to do things for the magic association.

According to the usual practice, when four magicians are trained, the barbarians will only leave one for the Magic Association, and the other three will be taken away.

It is not easy for the Magic Association to expand its enrollment.

To be able to be friends with Roland, most likely his talent is good.

When Anthony was brought to Lisa, his cloudy eyes lit up instantly.

This is not pure jade, it is simply a walking red jade with fire attribute!
Although there is no test, Anthony can already confirm that Lisa is a genius in learning magic.

He excitedly took out the magic crystal ball and asked Lisa to put her hand on it.

Lisa looked at Roland with some confusion.

The old man's eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and she was a little panicked.

Seeing Roland smiling and nodding, Lisa felt relieved and obediently put her hand on him.

As soon as he pressed it with his slender palm, the transparent crystal ball burst out with a blazing red light.

Lisa was startled.

Roland was stunned.

Anthony almost jumped up with joy and smiled from ear to ear.

What Roland, I’m not familiar with.

Lisa is the best magician seedling, and her talent is even higher than Sura.

Looking at Anthony's eyes that were burning like volcanoes, Lisa subconsciously shrank behind Roland.

Roland smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Master Anthony is our partner. He has outstanding strength and is an excellent mentor."

Outstanding and excellent mentor?
Lisa's eyes also lit up.

Of course she would not doubt Roland's words.

The old gentleman was like a moving active volcano when he was happy. Although she was a little scared, she could also see that he was extraordinary.

Just as Lisa's brain was running rapidly, Anthony asked with a smile:

"Lisa, are you willing to learn magic from me?"

"I"

She looked at Roland alertly, a little worried that Roland would object.

Fortunately, Roland's eyes were full of encouragement.

She bit her lip, and while she was hesitating, Anthony became a little anxious.

His profound knowledge and understanding of magic represent the highest level of the Magic Association, and he does not want to be forgotten in the future.

At his age, all wealth, power and beauty are just a cloud, and all that is left is his reputation.

If there are no disciples who can pass on the mantle, the inheritance will be cut off.

Looking at Anthony's fiery gaze, Lisa said softly: "Master Anthony, can I have a few words with you alone."

Knowing that she had something to offer, Roland found an excuse to leave.

He has never seen Master Anthony lose his temper like this. It seems that Sister Lisa is really talented.

He would only be happy for her.

He knew Lisa's mentality very well. Because of the gap between talent and status, she always felt inferior in front of Roland and Sif.

Using cooking skills to maintain a sense of existence is certainly an extraordinary professional characteristic, but it is also a kind of humility.

After confirming that Roland had left, Lisa looked at Anthony carefully and said softly:

"Master Anthony, I want to stay with Roland and don't want to be far away from him, is that okay?"

"this one"

Anthony was hesitant and persuaded softly: "Since you are learning magic, it is definitely more appropriate to go to the Magic Association. There are rich classics there, there are partners who can study with you, and you can accept my teaching at any time."

"Then I won't learn anymore."

Although regretful, Lisa still flatly refused.

Learning magic was certainly an excellent opportunity to become stronger, but she couldn't accept the thought of being far away from Roland and not knowing when to meet him again.

Anthony was speechless for a moment.

Even if you refuse, you should hesitate for a moment. There is no need to be so decisive, right?

Before he could persuade her further, Lisa confessed honestly, "Master Anthony, Roland and I have never been separated for too long. If I am too far away from him, I will feel uneasy and unable to study at all."

"Well, I understand that. Young people in love feel like a century apart."

"Master Anthony, I'm just Roland's sister!" Lisa blushed and corrected in a low voice.

Anthony looked at Lisa with a smile and did not reveal it to her face, but his eyes that understood the world had already seen through everything.

If these two guys were ordinary siblings, he would have pulled off his beard on the spot.

He is just old, not blind.

He was also young and enjoyed a sweet love affair.

Although he had a headache, compared to the pain of losing his disciple, Anthony decisively changed his mind.

"Don't rush to refuse. Roland and I have reached a cooperation agreement and will come here often. I can guide you here, but for some special training you have to go to the association with me."

"Is it long?"

"Don't worry, it won't last more than a week at a time."

"Three days." Lisa was determined.

Anthony was so angry, this is magic learning, what do you think of this?

Facing Lisa's firm gaze, he did not give in and said loudly: "Three days is all!"

He is a loving and wise elder, how could he care about young people?

It seems that he also has to study the reform of teaching model.

In the future, there may be more magic geniuses in Roland's jurisdiction, and it may be possible to set up schools on the ground to carry out centralized teaching.

A master is a master, changing his mind in just a moment and even starting to look into the future.

Seeing that Anthony gave in, Lisa awkwardly pinched the hem of her skirt and saluted him.

"Master Anthony, please forgive me for being willful, I just..."

"Okay, I was young too, I understand. Are you still calling me master now?" Anthony deliberately kept a straight face.

Of course Lisa, who has a tenth level of human sophistication, knew what Anthony meant, and she immediately switched to the mode of being sweet and lovable.

"Disciple Lisa, thank you teacher for your tolerance."

Anthony laughed, and his wrinkled old face became a little more rosy.

He smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay. I didn't expect that I would meet the best disciple this time."

"Teacher, don't say that. I don't understand anything and I can't compare with your other disciples."

Seeing Lisa so well-behaved, Anthony was even more satisfied.

Looking at Lisa's expectant eyes, he suddenly realized that this was his initiative to recruit closed disciples, and of course he had to receive a meeting gift.

He thought for a moment, took out a fiery red ring from his pocket, and handed it to Lisa.

Looking at the simple shape of this ring, Lisa felt that it contained an inexplicably familiar power.

Without thinking much, she took the ring with both hands and thanked the teacher repeatedly.

Holding the ring, she tried it on her finger and found that it fit on her ring finger, so she put it on without much thought.

Anthony wanted to remind her that according to the tradition of the Magic Empire, wearing it there meant that she was about to get married, but the words stopped abruptly.

The Magic Empire is dead.

No one remembers this except them, the old and the young.

Thinking about Lisa's attitude towards Roland, it was only a matter of time before Dai came here.

Since the ring is most suitable to be worn here, it is fate.

Anthony nodded with satisfaction and said softly: "This ring contains rich fire elements and is very suitable for you. You must keep it well."

There was another sentence he didn't say. There was a drop of Phoenix's blood sealed in this ruby.

Anthony had no destiny with this ring, and he never found anyone with it, so he has kept it until now.

Since Lisa had no rejection reaction when wearing it, she was the destined owner of this ring.

Lisa was in a good mood as she stroked the warm ring. Seeing that Teacher Anthony was in a good mood, she boldly asked:

"Teacher, when I went to explore the volcano, I felt a mysterious power calling me, but Roland and I didn't have enough power."

"I'll take you there."

Anthony said calmly: "Lisa, you are my disciple. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me."
