Chapter 162 Dialogue
Looking at the fragment of the Crown of Domination handed over by the old captain, Roland wondered if he had bad intentions and was trying to fish for trouble.
The old captain nodded and said.
"As long as you dare to take it, I'll give it to you. Anyway, this thing has been here for who knows how many years, and there's no point in keeping it."
"Rather than leaving it here to gather ashes, I'd rather give it to you."
Roland took the fragment from his hand and manipulated the Crown of Domination on his finger to swallow the fragment in one gulp.
Including this large fragment, Roland has collected four-fifths of the fragments of the Crown of Domination.
"Are you ready?"
The old captain suddenly said something incomprehensible.
Roland stopped playing with the Crown of Domination, raised his head slightly and looked at him, and said nonchalantly.
"Are you talking about the alchemy workshop? It's almost ready."
The old leader sighed and gave an admonishing reminder.
"Some things cannot be done if you rush them."
Roland smiled and said.
"After all, I am not from Sinar, so I won't stay here for long."
"Decided?"
"Decided."
The old captain shook his head and said helplessly.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you. Ginza cannot restrain people like you. What a pity. If you were a knight, someone would take over my job."
"Didn't they accept a new batch of apprentices recently? The Radiant Knights are full of talented people, so there will always be the right people."
Roland followed his words and began to comfort him.
The old leader heard his words, smiled and continued.
"You don't need to say hello to us when you leave. Just go ahead and don't look back. We will be watching this side of the East District. If you are caught up, you should know what to do."
Roland nodded.
"I won't see you off. You probably have something else to do. Goodbye."
The old captain took out a rag and spoke without turning his head as he approached the pillar.
Looking at his back, Roland was silent for a while, bowed, and turned to leave the treasury.
Although the old leader was only a mid-level knight who had been stuck at level six for many years and had basically lost the possibility of promotion, it was impossible for him to detect Roland's little tricks on his own. However, he was in charge of a large knight group and had powerful connections, so it was not impossible for him to detect Roland's little tricks.
The conversation between Roland and the old captain just now seemed to be just a casual chat.
But, in fact, the old captain was hinting to Roland that there was no need to rush to kill all the alchemists. There was still a lot of time, and there would be ways to deal with them in the future. There was no need to risk being hunted down. The waters in Ginza were very complicated, and even a high-level spellcaster might not be able to figure it out, let alone you, a fourth-level spellcaster.
Roland's answer was that he didn't have the patience and didn't want to wait. As for the danger, it didn't matter and he would run away.
After getting Roland's answer, the old captain gave up his advice and just reminded Roland at the end to be careful when killing and run away quickly after killing so as not to get caught. He would help cover it up and muddy the water to help Roland buy time.
After leaving the treasury, Roland continued with his plan and prepared a surprise for each alchemist remaining on the list.
Although the old leader could not help Roland, he could still find an excuse to mobilize the Knights' deployment in the New East District to facilitate Roland's entry and exit.
Therefore, after spending a few more days, Roland prepared surprises for all the alchemists on the list.
One afternoon, after Roland and Hela each put on a simple disguise, they walked out of the room and wandered around the entire New East District.
Although not many people in the New East District knew Roland, most people in the New East District only knew of his existence from the words of the Radiant Knights.
However, as the technical consultant of the Alchemy Workshop, there were quite a few people who knew Roland.
In order not to disturb the normal life of the residents of the New East District, Roland also made a simple disguise. Speaking of which, the planning of the New East District was designed by Roland, but although it was designed by him, Roland himself has not seen the real thing since the completion of the construction.
The huge profits from the alchemy workshop allowed the Radiant Knights to continue investing large amounts of money in the New East District to improve people's livelihood.
Although the residents of the New East District still do not look as strong as those in other urban areas and are generally thin, their demeanor is obviously much better than that of the previous East District. They are no longer as lifeless and numb as before, but have beautiful expectations for the future.
After a tour of the New East District, Roland also took Hela to the headquarters of the Radiant Knights.
Although the old leader said there was no need to say hello, Roland still planned to say goodbye to them.
"Not here?"
Roland was a little surprised to hear what the White Knight said.
"Yes, the captain went to the court early this morning and has not returned yet."
The White Knight on guard explained.
"Since he's not here, forget it."
"Is there something urgent? I can send someone to inform the captain."
The White Knight straightened up and spoke seriously.
"Is someone trying to cause trouble again?"
"No, no, no, it's okay. It's just a personal matter. Since the old leader is not here, I will go back."
Roland shook his head, thanked him politely for his answer, and turned to leave.
"You're welcome."
The White Knight returned the salute with a serious look on his face.
When Roland reached the entrance of the parish, he saw a knight's squire running towards him from outside.
Arthas? Why is he here?
Roland was a little surprised when he saw the knight's squire running over.
When he saw Roland, Arthas hurriedly stopped, gave Roland a knight's salute in a somewhat awkward manner, and said.
"teacher."
Roland nodded slightly. He looked Arthas up and down, and thought of the news that the Radiant Knights were recruiting new members some time ago, and asked.
"Have you passed the recruit review?"
Arthas nodded with an awkward look on his face.
"Not an alchemist anymore?"
"No, learning alchemy cannot protect my family. I'm sorry, teacher, I failed to live up to your cultivation."
Arthas lowered his head and said.
"It's okay. I can't teach you for long. Joining the Radiant Knights is indeed a good choice for you."
Roland said in a gentle tone.
He had originally planned to go to Arthas's house and give him some alchemy books for self-study, but since he had given up on alchemy, forget it.
"Now that you've joined, you should work hard. Are you still training? Go ahead."
Roland patted his shoulder and sent a blessing into him.
After hearing Roland's reminder, Arthas also reacted, bowed to Roland and said.
"Teacher, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ran in hurriedly, holding the things in his arms.
