Chapter 104 Stocking up
Although in order to purge the secret society, almost all areas of the Tower of Truth were in turmoil.
However, in this noisy purge, there are still some schools that are relatively quiet.
For example, Roland’s destination for this trip is the Soul School.
Due to its remote location and relatively scarce resources, as well as the Soul School's environmental transformation of the controlled area, the population living here can be said to be quite sparse.
Moreover, due to the harsh elemental environment, ordinary people, except for spellcasters, simply cannot live in the wild.
Therefore, the population of the Soul School is all concentrated in several core cities and is completely under the direct control of the Soul School.
The movement of population and the inflow and outflow of materials are all under the direct control of the school, and there is no room for secret societies to survive.
After receiving the instructions from the Parliament of Truth, the Soul School simply checked a few times and everything returned to normal.
Standing outside the control area of the Soul School, Roland was looking at the area covered with dark clouds in front of him.
Compared to the Massimo School, the dark clouds in the Soul School's control area were filled with darkness, as if they had absorbed all the light, and looked somewhat lifeless.
The road that runs through the Soul School's controlled area is also extremely dark, with only some faint green lights that look like flames flickering slightly.
Looking at the area in front of him that looked like a devil's cave, Roland glanced at Hela beside him and felt a little regretful.
In a place like this, are there really people of the same age who can make friends with Hela?
However, he had already sent a request for a visit to the Soul School, and the other side had also returned to Roland. He couldn't just turn around and leave without even going.
Stay for a few days and then find an excuse to run away.
As Roland thought this, he also put a shield on the entire carriage, including the two horses.
High concentrations of dark elements are harmful to ordinary life forms. If left unprotected for half an hour, the corrosive properties of the elements will kill ordinary creatures on the spot.
After adding the shields, the two horses walked in slowly at Roland's command.
As the carriage went deeper, the light behind it became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.
Roland and Hela could only see a pitch-black world and a slightly strange green flame.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be scared to death by now.
However, all fear comes from the unknown and insufficient firepower.
However, for Roland and Hela, there was no unknown in front of them, it was just a normal environment where dark elements gathered.
Moreover, the Soul School has also undergone adjustments and modifications. If you look closely, the environment is just a little darker, and there is nothing strange.
It was much more normal than what Roland had seen on the Island of the Dead in the North Sea a few years ago.
However, compared to the smaller Island of the Dead, the area controlled by the Soul School is much larger.
After all, it is a university school, relatively small compared to other university schools, but it is not that small.
Therefore, Roland and Hela walked along the road for almost three days and three nights before arriving at the core city of the Soul School: Black Domain.
As the city with the largest population of the Soul School, the environment in the Black Domain is relatively good.
At least, there are enough lights and they are bright enough, not that dark. Moreover, the strong dark elements have been filtered out, making them more stable, gentle and non-corrosive.
Glancing at the city illuminated by a huge green ball of light, Roland looked at the spellcaster who came to greet them.
A fourth-ring spellcaster from the School of Souls, and several second-ring spellcaster assistants.
The leading four-ring spellcaster saluted politely, turned sideways and stretched out his hand, and said.
"Welcome, Mr. Roland. This way please."
Roland returned the greeting slightly, and then, under his guidance, he moved into the room prepared for them by the Soul School. After a day of rest, Roland began to contact the spellcasters of the Soul School, exchanging and communicating on various spells and research on dark elements and undead.
Adhering to the principle of "since we are already here, we are here", Roland visited everywhere and soon became active in the Black Domain.
While Roland was active, Hela was also left alone by Roland.
Hela is already a fourth-ring spellcaster, and with the addition of Gray Crow, even if they encounter an enemy they can't hit, they will definitely be able to escape.
Moreover, even though Roland let Hela do what she wanted, if Hela encountered any trouble and sent him a message, he would immediately go to support her.
Therefore, in order to train Hela, Roland drove Hela out of the room when she wanted to stay in the room to read.
Standing on the street in the Black Domain, Hela, who had never expected to be kicked out by Roland, was holding the Grimoire and looking around in confusion.
When Roland kicked her out, he didn't give her any clear goals.
This left her at a loss as to what to do.
Before she met Roland, when she lived with the tribe, Hela would help with odd jobs every day, or follow her parents' instructions and do some cleaning chores.
After meeting Roland, except for the time when she was more proactive in killing the cultists, she followed Roland at other times and did whatever Roland said.
Hela, who was used to following other people's orders, was not used to making her own decisions.
Holding the Grimoire, Hela turned her head to look at the Mage Tower behind her, feeling a little uneasy.
After hesitating for a while, Hela finally found a direction and walked down the road.
Hela walked to a square, looked around, then found a seat nearby and sat down. Then, she placed the magic book on her legs, opened it, and activated the Book of Wisdom.
She plans to go to the forum to find inspiration.
What does the average spellcaster usually do?
Hela browsed through the forum posts, looking for useful information.
After browsing for more than half an hour and reading a large number of posts, Hela closed the Grimoire thoughtfully.
In the Tower of Truth, whether you are a wild mage or a school spellcaster, there is one thing you cannot escape.
That is to complete the school commission and earn silver points.
In the Tower of Truth, unless you stay in the Starting City and pay with gold coins, daily life in other places requires silver points to maintain.
Moreover, if a spellcaster wants to improve his own power or conduct some experiments, he will need new extraordinary knowledge and a large amount of materials, which all require silver points to purchase.
Even if a school's spellcasters enjoy discounts and benefits within the school, they still cannot avoid doing school commissions.
Roland had excavated so many ruins in the Kes Mountains before, so he had no shortage of materials and most of the knowledge was exchanged.
As for daily consumption, the silver points Roland earned from answering questions on the forum were enough for the daily consumption of the two.
If Roland hadn't been supporting her, Hela would have been running around for a living.
Thinking of this, Hela looked towards some shops along the street.
There is no rush to put it on the shelves. Anyway, the full attendance this month will definitely be gone, so I plan to wait until the recommendation is over and then ask the editor.
Revision: Please take the above as bullshit, the book will be on the shelves this Friday.
