Chapter 128 Leaving
In the central square of the Black Domain, under the gazes of countless people, the staff of the Soul School posted a notice on the bulletin board, announcing that Hess had been promoted to a seventh-ring spellcaster and had chosen to stay in the Soul School.

Looking at the announcement, the surrounding spellcasters had different expressions.

Some spellcasters who hoped that Hess could leave the Soul School looked helpless and regretful. However, they also knew that the possibility of leaving was very small. They could directly become one of the leaders of the university school. Why should they leave the original school?

Therefore, although they were a little disappointed, they still prepared their gifts and were ready to get to know Hayes and make friends with him.

While the spellcasters in the central square were thinking about how to make friends with Hess, on the top floor of the Public Mage Tower in the Black Domain City, Hess was sitting calmly in front of a table. He handed the parchment in his hand that exuded a magical aura to Sophia in front of him and said.

"Take a look, this condition is not bad. If there is anything you cannot accept, don't worry. We can go to the City of Truth in a few days and discuss it again."

Sophia took the parchment, did not answer, and lowered her head to read it carefully.

This is the result of discussions between the Parliament of Truth and the Silver Family.

Under pressure from the Parliament of Truth, the Silver Family finally accepted the request to release the former Queen.

But even if they release her, the Silver Family has conditions. Not to mention the various compensation conditions, the Silver Family also has restrictions on the former queen.

The former queen must give up the name of the Silver Family and take a new name without any Silver Family elements. At the same time, the former queen must give up all memories related to the Silver Family and is prohibited from having any relationship with any Silver Family.
In short, the many restrictions of the Silver Family require that the former queen cannot reveal her identity and can only live in the Tower of Truth as a wild mage. Moreover, promotion is prohibited and her strength must always be kept at the five-ring level.

Looking at the conditions on the parchment, Sophia was generally satisfied.

Although there are many restrictions, and some of them do not seem to her liking, she is already satisfied as long as she can rescue her mother.

While Sophia was looking at the parchment, Hess also stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance calmly.

He looked into the distance and said as Sofia put down the parchment and turned her gaze towards him.

"They should be out of the Tower of Truth by now."

Hearing Hess's words, Sophia pursed her lips and recalled Roland and Hela when they were in Hess's Mage Tower.

Roland and Hela did not follow them back, instead, they chose to say goodbye.

Sophia lowered her head and said nothing.

"I don't know what they were thinking. Why did they leave at this time? What was their motivation in doing so?"

Hess looked in the direction where Roland and Hela might have left, muttering to himself.

“Is it true that someone would help others without asking for anything in return?”

It is obvious that Hess has been successfully promoted and is about to become the top figure in the Tower of Truth who has the final say.

As long as Hess revealed a little bit of Roland's help to him, both fame and wealth would flow to Roland like a tide. However, at such an important moment, Roland chose to leave.

Why on earth did he help himself?

Hayes thought silently.

In the distance where he was looking, at the Soul School, which was also the border of the Tower of Truth, Roland and Hela simply confirmed their identities with the spellcaster badges and then slowly walked out of the territory of the Tower of Truth.

Roland asked in a relaxed tone as he walked slowly on the road.

"For most spellcasters, coming to the Tower of Truth without visiting the City of Truth would be a pity. I should have told you that we will most likely not come to the Tower of Truth again in the future."

"Don't you regret it? If you do, it's still not too late to turn back now."

Beside him, Hela shook her head and whispered, “No regrets.”

"Well, anyway, without the filter, the City of Truth is just a larger city. There's nothing special about it."

Roland shrugged and said casually.

He took out a Sinnar map from his space bracelet and began to think about his next goal.

Roland had originally planned to stay in the Tower of Truth for a few years, but he had to leave early to avoid trouble.

Although Roland didn't care much about the trouble caused by Hess's promotion, Hela seemed to think that she had implicated Roland in order to help Sophia.

Therefore, after communicating with each other, in order to avoid trouble, the two chose to leave the Tower of Truth.

Where should he go next? There weren't many places in Sinar worth visiting for Roland.

After looking around, only Ginza, the capital of the Silver Empire, the Royal Academy in the capital of the Kingdom of Inter, and the Mountain City of the Gnolls are worth visiting.

However, these three locations are not as easy to sneak into as the Tower of Truth.

In Ginza, everything Roland needed was in the hands of the Silver Family. That group of old antiques attached great importance to family heritage. Even if they were to exchange interests, they probably wouldn't be able to get much valuable stuff in return.

The Royal Academy of the Kingdom of Inter places special emphasis on bloodline and noble status. It would be difficult for Roland and Hela, four-ring spellcasters, to get in.

Of course, if Roland could prove that he was a high-level spellcaster, it would not be impossible for him to sneak in. However, the problem was that Roland was only a fourth-ring spellcaster with high-level combat power and some high-level knowledge. It was not easy for him to sneak in.

As for the latter, the mountaintop city of the ogres was not that difficult. Roland only needed to show off his dragon spells and those ogres would probably be able to invite him over.

As for the kobolds who fanatically worship dragons, Roland estimated that he could get what he wanted by learning some knowledge of dragon language.

Oh, by the way, it’s not just Sinar who can go, Donnar can also go and take a look.

I don’t know what Donnar’s condition is now, but since we haven’t received any big news about the death of a legend, he shouldn’t be in particular danger.

Moreover, Hela has already reached the fourth ring. Even if she encounters the main force of the Green Tide, running away probably won’t be a problem. So should she go over and take a look?
Roland thought silently.

According to the memory of the previous life, although the green tide destroyed all the countries in Donnar, some hidden buildings with better security measures were still left behind.

Although most of Donnar's kingdoms are knights, Roland still knows of a dozen hidden treasure troves of knowledge that store magical knowledge.

In addition to the treasure house of knowledge, Roland also knew about the various national treasuries left over from several knight kingdoms, which contained a considerable amount of resources and wealth.

Although it is not good to eat the wealth of the dead, it is better to let Roland take it than to be dug out by the Green Tide in the future to arm themselves.

Besides, since their country was destroyed anyway, they had no power to stop Roland from robbing their treasure house.

However, I'd better inquire about the news from Donnar first. If the situation there is okay and the battle line between humans and the Green Tide is stable, I'll go to Donnar to have a look. If not, I can only go to the nearest Ginza first.

Although you may not necessarily gain anything valuable in Ginza, but Ginza, which is supported by the entire Silver Empire, is not much worse than the City of Truth in terms of appearance.

Since we didn’t make it to the City of Truth, let’s go to Ginza.

Thinking of this, Roland closed the map and threw it back into the space bracelet.
