Chapter 14: The Spellcaster Guild

Sitting on the bed in the hotel, Roland took out all the things in the space ring.

Three thousand gold coins, a dozen pieces of extraordinary material specialties exported by the Moon Elves, and two sets of the Moon Elves' first-level spellcaster suits for foreign trade.

As expected of a moon elf, she is really rich.

Looking at what was in front of him, Roland also sighed.

In addition to these, the Moon Elf also gave away a free, 20-cubic-meter, elf-style space ring. If it were in Sinar, it would cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins to get it.

After sighing for a while, Roland put the space ring on his left finger and collected all the remaining things on the table except a set of spellcaster suits.

After Roland put away his things, Hela pushed open the door and walked into the room carrying a large wooden barrel. She closed the door with her foot and placed the barrel in a corner of the room.

Roland also walked to the wooden barrel and cast a simple spell to clean it. Then he stretched out his hand and drew a temporary small heating magic circle on the barrel.

On the side, Hela also poured buckets of cold water into it.

Under the heating of the magic circle, the cold water quickly heated up and stabilized at around 40 degrees.

When the temperature was about the same, Roland poured in several bottles of alchemical potions that he had prepared, and the liquid in the barrel quickly turned into a yellow-green color.

Roland put his right hand in, and after using magic to confirm that the medicinal bath was normal, he withdrew his hand, nodded to Hela who was waiting on the side, and said.

"Okay."

After saying that, Roland turned around and walked to the other side of the room. At the same time, he used a curtain to separate the room into two sides.

Listening to the rustling sounds of people taking off clothes and the sound of hot water flowing, Roland sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating silently.

Since Hela had chosen the first option, which was to train the body and quickly master close combat, a medicinal bath was naturally necessary.

Except for the days of hunting cultists, Hela would basically take a medicinal bath once a day, which not only improved her physical fitness but also repaired the damage caused by her training.

Twenty minutes later, Hela started to rustle again.

Soon, after drying herself and changing into the spellcaster suit on the table, Hela opened the curtain.

However, after seeing that Roland was still meditating, she lowered the curtain and turned back.

She carried out buckets of bath water, which had regained its original color, and replaced them with buckets of new cold water, which she carried back to the room and poured back into the large wooden tub.

After spending several minutes changing the water, Hela walked back to Roland's side and looked at him silently.

After staring at Roland for a while, as he had not yet woken up from his meditation, Hela reached out and gently pulled the corner of his clothes.

After feeling the corner of his clothes being pulled, Roland ended his meditation and slowly opened his eyes.

"The water has been changed."

Hela sat obediently aside and whispered.

Roland blinked, smiled, and spoke gently.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, Roland stood up and opened the curtain.

Hela said nothing. She watched Roland walk to the other side of the room before she sat cross-legged and meditated.

Roland walked to the wooden barrel and took out a few bottles of alchemical potions and poured them in.

Although he follows the path of a wizard, he also needs to take a medicinal bath. Improving his physical fitness will be beneficial to his future promotion.

Although the extraordinary system here can be roughly classified into knights and spellcasters, the former mainly focuses on improving physical fitness, while the latter focuses on improving soul strength.

However, the body and soul complement each other. For a spellcaster, a strong body can also carry a more powerful soul.

If Roland wants to become a seventh-ring wizard, then his physical fitness must at least reach the level of a fifth-ring wizard. Therefore, although Roland is taking the path of a spellcaster, his physical body still needs to be improved.

After the alchemical potion was dissolved in the hot water, Roland took off his clothes and walked into the wooden barrel.

As his skin came into contact with the liquid, Roland's entire body became hot, and a steady stream of heat energy flowed into his body through his skin. As the heat energy flowed in, the gentle power of the medicine also slowly improved Roland's physical fitness.

After a simple night's rest in Winter City, the two headed to Roland's second destination in Winter City, the Spellcaster Association.

The Spellcasters Association, one of the subordinate organizations of the Tower of Truth, has organizations spread across major cities in the East, Sinnar, and the North. Its main service objects are spellcasters, nobles, and kings of various countries.

Standing in front of the Spellcaster's Guild of Winter City, Roland looked at the tall tower in front of him that exuded a faint magical power, and walked in with Hela.

Although it was the first time for Roland and Hela to come here, the two guards in front of the tower looked a little unfamiliar to them. However, looking at the elf-style spellcaster suits they were wearing and the faint magical fluctuations from Roland and Hela, the guards made a wise choice and let them pass.

After entering the Spellcaster Association, Roland came to the front desk with ease.

Except for a few special branches, the internal structures of most branches of the Spellcasters Association are basically the same. Roland didn't know how many times he had entered the Spellcasters Association in his previous life. He would not get lost even with his eyes closed.

"Welcome to the Spellcaster Association. How can I help you?"

The girl at the front desk who was in a daze stood up quickly after seeing Roland walking towards her, showing a sweet smile and greeting him respectfully.

"Two people, new registration and testing level,"

Roland knocked on the table and said lightly.

"Okay, do you have any letters of recommendation?"

The girl nodded and asked cautiously.

Hearing the girl's words, Roland took out the letter of recommendation from the elf ambassador from his pocket and pushed it over on the table.

The girl took the recommendation letter, placed it on the platform beside her, and pressed the start button.

As the rune emerged on the platform, a faint wave swept across the recommendation letter, and then a green light flashed across the platform.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the close button, and carefully placed the letter of recommendation in a cabinet nearby.

Then she stood up and spoke respectfully as she walked out of the front desk.

"Please come with me."

Roland and Hela followed her.

Under the guidance of the girl, the two walked up to the third floor of the tower, where a staff member in robes took over the reception.

On the pure golden badge on his left chest was a silver dot, which was the proof of being a first-ring spellcaster.

After the girl at the front desk bowed and returned, he looked at Roland and the other man and spoke gently.

"Please come with me."

After following him to the room on the fourth floor of the Spellcaster's Guild, Roland placed his hand on a crystal ball and calmly injected some of his own magic power into it.

With the injection of magic power, the crystal ball gradually responded, and a "one" soon appeared on the crystal ball. However, it did not exist for long. Soon, a "two" replaced it and floated in the crystal ball.

After "two" stabilized, Roland withdrew his hand.

Beside Roland, Hela also took her hand back from another crystal ball, and a "one" appeared on it.

After Roland and Hela finished their tests, the first-ring mage at the side did not waste any time. He opened the cabinet in the room with the key in his hand and took out two first-ring mage badges and one second-ring mage badge.

Roland and Hela each took the badges and put them away.

Afterwards, Roland and Hela followed him to complete the final registration.

Finally, after a brief conversation and some money spent to buy some information, Roland and Hela walked out of the Spellcaster Association and returned to the hotel.

After completing their original purpose, they did not stay in Winter City any longer. They quickly packed their luggage and left with their two chocobos.
