Chapter 88

Although Bard’s expression was still quite arrogant, Roland was acutely aware that the pride in Bard’s eyes had diminished by quite a lot .

As expected, this world emphasized strength: pure, plain strength . If you were stronger than them, even an arrogant person had to curb their temper .

However, Bard still spoke in a tone ride with ridicule and resentment .

1Roland sized him up for a moment and admitted with a smile, “Yes, we can revive . Why can’t we rely on such a great ability?”

1Bard laughed lightly . “Don’t you think that’s quite shameless? Originally, in battles, things like courage are precious only because of the threat of death . The fact that you Golden Sons can revive is a dire insult to the courage of others . An insult to those who face you directly, to those who fight you . ”

1Upon hearing these words, Roland smiled . “According to your logic, you nobles are also a bunch of good-for-nothings, knowing only to maintain your meager existences based on the glory of your ancestors . If you have the guts, separate from your family and make a living as a commoner, and don’t rely on your status as a noble . How about that?”

2Bard frowned, feeling his stomach ache a little .

1The person in front of him was quick-witted . If he criticized the other side for cowardice, the other side would criticize him for being useless, unwilling to take a loss . It matched with the information he had acquired—Golden Sons were a group that didn’t care about nobles at all .

Although Bard was proud, he wasn’t an extremely obstinate and inflexible person . Since the other side currently had strong sentiments against him, he would retreat for the time being . He immediately smiled and said, “Your argument is quite interesting, but don’t let other nobles apart from me hear, or else they’ll never stop bothering you . ”

2After hearing these words, Roland revealed a smile, contemplative with a trace of mockery .

2Bard shivered on the inside from this look . He was even somewhat irritated, but he couldn’t vent his feelings . He no longer smiled . He was, after all, the son of a great noble family from the capital . He was already quite out of sorts not being regarded as the center of the world, and now a Golden Son directly attacked him verbally .

2He took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, “I have some matters to discuss with you that’s unsuitable to talk about outside . Besides, as one of the masters of the Magic Tower, aren’t you going to invite me in?”

1“Please come in . ” Roland still wore that contemplative smile; his tone when he spoke was also quite odd .

Bard was even more enraged at this . He very much wanted to leave but he still endured it .

Finally, the two of them found a table on the second floor and sat down face to face .

Bard looked around . “You’re not very good at showing hospitality . If you’re not going to serve pastries and delicacies, at least give me a cup of fruit wine . ”

1“I don’t know how to do these things . ” Roland shrugged indifferently . “Besides, you’re not worthy enough for me to do so . ”

1“Are you deliberately baiting me?” Bard asked with narrowed eyes .

Roland was indeed deliberately baiting this man . Only under an infuriated state will certain people reveal their true nature . This is why the majority of prominent figures had a calm personality .

They didn’t want their nature to be seen through and their weaknesses seized .

Roland smiled . “No way! I simply don’t like you . ”

1“As it happens, I also dislike you a lot . ” The rage inside Bard was getting fiercer and fiercer; he almost couldn’t hold it in anymore . “I’ve only come to ask you this: do you sell your flesh?”

Roland’s mouth gaped slightly .

These words were truly too shocking, at least for Roland .

Soon after, he started to feel his balls hurt and his butt clench, black ink even dripped from his dark and sullen face .

1“Do you want to die!?”

Roland said this one word at a time, fuming with rage . At the same time, he mobilized large amounts of mental power and a giant transparent blue hand appeared above their heads, ready to smash down any time .

1Roland was level four, and after completing the dungeon quest, he received a large amount of experience . He only had about ten percent more experience to earn to get to level five .

And there was a disparity in level—Bard was only level two . Moreover, Roland’s character attributes’ growth interface was the template of a Golden Son belonging to the Commander level, with high attributes, multiple abilities, and multiple specialties .

Bard’s was at most of the Elite level attribute growth .

1Some basic information could be found on the official website of the game, including the character attributes template level .

According to the information provided by the official website, the class templates from low to high were: Normal, Elite, Genius, Commander, Overlord, Demon God, Divinity .

The players’ overall attribute growth was considerably high . From a certain perspective, they could be considered as mid-level bosses .

At this moment, Roland’s imposing manner was quite terrifying . Bard felt like he was facing a massive human-shaped dragon . He swallowed and said in a hurry, “I have no ill intentions . ”

1“You can leave now . Do so before I break both your legs . ” Roland stared at him unwaveringly .

1Bard got up and left without hesitation .

Bard left the Magic Tower with the two magic apprentices, his expression sullen . He was very furious and he very much wanted to go back and beat up Roland for boldly frightening him, the son of a great noble family .

However, he only thought about this… he wouldn’t dare go back .

1The magic apprentices following at his side were already frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat .

“Bulls**t,” Bard cursed as he walked . “This Roland’s got problems . What’s the big deal with trying to buy a piece of his flesh with gold coins, did he need to act so murderously? I knew I shouldn’t have come to him . ”

1Meanwhile, at this moment, Roland was rubbing his forehead . He originally wanted to infuriate Bard, but unexpectedly, Bard infuriated him .

Mainly because Roland felt Bard’s acting was too real, the thirsty expression that emerged from Bard’s eyes—Bard definitely wanted to buy his chrysanthemum1 .

Nobles were disgusting creatures, as expected .

I can’t beat you or win in an argument, so I’ll be your “good friend,” is that how things work?

Afterward, Roland discovered that he received a system notification .

“You’ve comprehended ‘Mental Deterrence (specialty)’ . ”

1What? Roland clicked on the details of this specialty .

Mental Deterrence: When you are in the state of casting and in the state of anger, you will launch a psychological attack in a radius of level x10 to all living things, regardless of friend or foe . The success rate is determined by the level difference between the two parties, as well as the difference in resistance . An intelligent living thing that fails to pass the exemption verification will fall into a state of panic .

1Panic: all character attributes decrease by 10% .

This specialty… looked quite impressive, but after Roland pondered it, he found that it wasn’t practical .

2Since he had to be casting and infuriated… this didn’t conform to the battle style of mages .

When mages fight, they need to remain calm and cast suitable spells at the right time and place in order to achieve the perfect results .

In a state of fury, a mage with sparking flames in the left hand and a large fireball in the right, shouting out the enemy’s name and crazily bombarding the enemy—there was absolutely no aesthetics in this… Wait, it might seem a little cool .

1Perhaps, it would have surprising effects in some special situations .

Obtaining a new specialty was a good thing anyhow . Roland was in a slightly better mood now . He was about to conduct magic derivation experiments, but he received another system notification .

Don’t tell me I learned another specialty .

With these thoughts in mind, however, he discovered that it was Betta who @ him in the guild system .

“Brother Roland, come to my house, there’s something wrong . ”

Though there were only a few words, Roland sensed a seriousness in this .
