Chapter 20 Central Plaza
Although he slowed down, he also took Hela for a stroll, bought some food and drinks, and relaxed.
But, more than an hour later, the two finally arrived at the central square of the White Fortress.
As soon as the two turned a corner and walked into the central square, a dense crowd of people appeared in their sight.
Roland took a quick glance.
They seemed to be celebrating something, maybe a festival of theirs?
If it were in the past, Roland would definitely not join in the fun, however.
Roland glanced at Hela beside him and said with a smile.
"Would you like to join in the fun?"
Hela blinked and looked at the crowd in the central square.
so many people.
Looking at the densely packed crowds and noisy environment, Hela didn't like it very much.
Just as she was about to refuse, the crowd in the central square suddenly cheered, and the noise level suddenly increased several levels.
In the center of the central square, an elite troop of orcs quickly entered the venue, standing on both sides of the passage, with their hands raised and their chests puffed out.
Then, a well-equipped Orc transcendent walked from the passage into the center of the square.
As he appeared, the cheers at the scene grew louder and louder.
Roland didn't feel anything about the frenzied atmosphere, but Hela couldn't adapt to it. She pulled Roland and opened her mouth.
"Ok?"
Because the noise in the square was too loud, and Roland didn't try to distinguish it, he didn't quite hear what Hela said.
So he turned and looked at Hela.
Seeing Roland's puzzled gaze, Hela moved closer to Roland and stood on tiptoe to speak in his ear.
"Let's go, it's a bit noisy."
"Ah."
After hearing what Hela said, Roland nodded and took Hela to take a detour through the central square.
Although the Orc Superman in the square looked familiar, he was probably the famous NPC in the game in the previous life. But since Hela didn't like this kind of environment, she might as well leave.
Anyway, he has no intention of staying in the North, so there is no need to deliberately build a good relationship with him.
Therefore, in the frenetic central square, Roland and Hela, who were standing on the edge, turned around and left quietly.
Just as Roland and Hela turned to leave, the Orc Transcendent in the central square looked at Roland's back, turned his head and gave instructions to the person next to him.
"Check the identities of those two human transcendents. They are not simple people. Show them respect."
The guard nodded, and under the cover of other guards, he left the venue very naturally.
After giving his orders, the Orc Extraordinary One looked around again and a smile appeared on his face again.
After leaving the central square, Roland and Hela entered the External Administration Department of the White Fortress. Using their identities as extraordinary people, they quickly completed the application to leave the country.
Originally, Roland was planning to stay with Hela and walk around to relax, but since Hela didn't seem to be interested, he went back to the hotel to rest.
In the hotel room, Roland leaned on the bed and casually flipped through a fictional novel from the perspective of a Donnar knight who, through training and duels, rose from a knight's squire to a high position and married a princess.
As a novel that can be spread to the North, although Roland thinks that the characters and plot of this novel are a bit old-fashioned, it is still quite interesting and is more than enough as a storybook to kill time.
While Roland was killing time with storybooks, Hela in the room was not so leisurely. Because of the experience of getting lost today, Hela decisively took out the various books Roland bought for her and devoted herself to studying.
Although this world has many unique technologies due to the existence of supernatural powers, it is still a backward feudal world on the surface, and the price of books is still not low.
Especially books purchased from the Spellcaster Guild.
Although with Roland around, there was no need to buy expensive books that recorded various spell models, and he was not eligible to buy them now, but the prices of books that introduced the history of various countries, political situations, or various knowledge needed for traveling were not much lower.
After all, this kind of book is basically only available in the Spellcaster Association.
Just the books Roland bought for Hela cost him more than 1,500 gold coins, plus 50 gold coins for the carriage and more than 600 gold coins for the extraordinary materials.
As for the ordinary supplies purchased for the journey, they only added up to about twenty gold coins.
Although Roland still had about 2,000 gold coins on hand after taking into account the money seized from the cult, this amount of gold coins was only enough to guarantee daily living needs.
If Roland wants to continue to advance, it is not enough. This amount of money will be gone after a few experiments.
While flipping through the books at hand, Roland began to think about his future plans.
Of course, money needs to be made, but the question is how to make it.
With his current strength, he cannot take out the improved spell models, advanced spell scroll manufacturing technology, strange machines, etc.
Roland had no doubt that as long as he took out these things, the spellcasters in the Tower of Truth would tie him back at all costs.
Therefore, he could only use these things for himself at most, and it was impossible for him to exchange them for money.
As for the commission from the Adventurer's Association, the benefits are too little.
With the end of the Rose War, the most lucrative war commissions are basically gone, and only some ordinary and simple commissions can be accepted.
Although the commissions from the Spellcasters Association brought him a lot of benefits, Roland did not join the school of the Tower of Truth and was a discriminated "wild mage", so he was able to accept very few commissions.
However, with the certification of the Elf Ambassador, it is not impossible for him to receive commissions.
Just as Roland was thinking about how to make money, he suddenly closed the storybook in his hand.
Roland put the book on the bed, got out of bed and walked to the window.
Looking at the flow of people outside, Roland cast his gaze into the distance and met the prying vision.
On a high tower in the distance, the Orc Transcendent who met Roland's eyes trembled slightly, quickly retreated into the tower, and said in panic.
"He saw me."
"What, he saw it?"
Another orc at the side said with some surprise.
"Is it true? Let me see."
As he spoke, he squeezed over and looked in Roland's direction through the magic device installed on the tower.
Then he saw Roland's cold gaze.
After facing Roland, his vision quickly blurred and his head felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, causing him to feel dizzy.
He took a few steps back and sat down on the ground, feeling dizzy.
