Chapter 29 Transition
After returning to the hotel, Roland and Hela never went out again.
Apart from their daily meals, the two of them basically stayed in their rooms doing their own things.
Roland worked overtime to process the extraordinary materials he bought. Although the materials were valuable, they were still just raw materials after all. Only by transforming them into spell scrolls and bottles of alchemical potions could they truly enhance Roland's combat power.
In addition to making various props such as spell scrolls and alchemical potions, Roland also used his experience from his previous life to make a few simple magical devices. They were not high-end magical devices, but just the most basic magic storage devices.
In the previous life, it was almost equivalent to a training product for an apprentice mechanic.
After all, compared to spell scrolls and alchemical potions, Roland's understanding of magical devices is not that deep.
The main reason was that Roland's energy was limited. Learning a large number of spell models was already tiring. Spell scrolls and alchemy were also very daunting to learn. If he was asked to learn a mechanical technique that was no simpler than a spell model, it would really be the end of Roland's life.
In addition, the most important point is that when the strange machine version was released, Roland was already a well-known professional player, and his personality was highly tied to the mage profession. If he touched the strange machine, his personality would collapse.
In a game and forum environment where mages and artificers look down on each other and are even hostile to each other, Roland would certainly not commit suicide. Of course, he also did not want to be completely tied to mages, but he also did not want to offend the majority of artificer players, and he always avoided the hot topic on the forum: who is stronger, the mage or the artificer.
Of course, as a professional player, it is impossible for him to not understand and learn about strange equipment at all. After all, there are many famous strange equipment players in the professional arena, and Roland still needs to have a simple understanding and study.
Therefore, while ensuring that his knowledge and skills were up to par with the most advanced ones, Roland would also take the initiative to look for some videos about strange machines to learn from.
It is precisely because of these that Roland can now make some simple magical devices by hand. Even at his level, the magical devices he makes by hand completely crush traditional extraordinary equipment in terms of effect and cost-effectiveness.
But that was all. If Roland relied on himself, he probably wouldn't be able to create the truly miraculous machines like those in his previous life.
While Roland was rubbing his hands, Hela could only read a book or study, or watch and learn.
Roland originally bought so many materials with the intention of letting Hela try it out herself, but he forgot one thing.
Hotels in today's world are not as bomb-resistant as the ones in games.
The inn in the game can be destroyed at will, even if you want to draw a forbidden spell scroll. If you fail, you just have to clean the interior decoration.
But things were different now. If Roland hadn't reacted quickly and quelled the magic riot in time, the hotel they were staying in would have been completely blown up.
After this mistake, Roland realized that for a novice like Hela, it would be better to rent a laboratory from the Spellcaster Association, or go out of the city to explore the wild.
It is impossible to rent a laboratory. The laboratory of the Spellcaster Association has a photo stone. It would not be a good thing to expose the advanced technology. So we can only conduct experiments outside the city.
However, since there were still commissions to be done, Roland had no choice but to let Hela study the theoretical basics first.
When Roland completed another spell scroll, his tense spirit relaxed after the spell scroll flashed.
Phew, a fourth-ring spell scroll is really hard to draw, especially a complex space spell like this.
Roland rubbed his temples and then put away the spell scroll.
After withdrawing his spirit from the spell scroll, Roland also realized the changes in the surrounding environment.
The sky was already dark.
Feeling his own declining spirit, Roland decided not to continue and decided to rest and go to sleep.
He stretched and yawned lazily.
Roland turned around and saw Hela who was still studying, and spoke slowly.
"It's very late, go back and rest."
Hearing Roland's words, Hela hesitated and rubbed the pages of the book nervously with her right fingers.
Roland stood up, took off his robe, turned his head to look at her and asked.
"What's wrong?" "Well, you go to sleep first, I'll watch for a while."
Hela said quietly.
"And then stay up all night? Or are you so sleepy that you just lie down on the table and fall asleep?"
Roland walked to Hela's side and said helplessly.
“Hela, everyone has their own secrets. I respect your thoughts, but even for extraordinary people, it’s not good for the body to stay awake all the time. So, can you tell me about it?”
"Of course, you don't have to say it."
He added.
Hearing Roland's words, Hela put down the book in her hand, put her hands under the table, and rubbed them uneasily.
After waiting silently for a while, Hela made a small sound.
"I don't want to be alone."
"That's it."
After hearing what Hela said, Roland was thoughtful.
He probably understood. It was probably the aftereffect of the evil cult killing his entire family and abducting them as sacrifices.
When they were in the North before, there were not many hotels, so they just rented a yard. In addition, Roland and Hela slept in the same room because of the friendly neighbors in the North.
Come to think of it, there were signs of this from the first time we slept in separate rooms in White Fortress.
Ah, cults, ah, sacrifices.
Roland used his brain, which was a little slow due to mental fatigue, and came up with the simplest solution.
He yawned and rubbed his eyes.
"Give me a minute."
After saying that, Roland walked out of the room and ran to the room next door that was reserved for Hela. He dismantled the bed inside and put it away. Then he went back to his own room, found an empty space and put it away and reassembled it.
Since she's afraid of sleeping in a separate room, just move her bed over.
Anyway, they slept like this when they were in the north.
After doing all this, Roland walked to Hela, picked her up, threw her on her bed, and said.
"sleep tight."
After saying that, Roland turned back to his bed, buried himself in his quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After working intensively for most of the day, Roland was exhausted and his brain would not allow him to think about anything else.
On the other side, Hela grabbed the quilt with both hands, looking a little shy. She glanced at Roland who was sleeping soundly.
After thinking and hesitating for a while, she carefully got out of bed, walked to Roland's bed, gently moved Roland, and covered him with the quilt.
After doing all this, Hela returned to her bed, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes peacefully.
