quicksilver blood

Chapter 140 Choices
After a period of contemplation, Roland finally made a decision.

That's right...

Only by making himself the pope can more people be saved after dusk falls.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

10 people... can be discarded.

An almost heartless gaze flashed in Roland's eyes.

In order to rule the dead crows together in the future, Roland must have enough prestige himself.

From this point of view, Roland's too immature appearance will be counterproductive - he is not inheriting a certain sect, but creating a new sect.This makes him decisively different from those popes who succeeded to the throne at a young age.

And Roland is really too young.

Even including the time of the plague revival, Roland would only be in his early twenties by the end of the plague revival.

A 20-year-old Pope is simply unheard of.

Roland seemed to be able to hear how those low-level people talked about him-it was probably just "that little pope", "that ignorant child", "the bishop's sons are all older than him", "the tempter. The little boy of the grown-up woman" or something like that.

As the pope, but unable to make the believers respect, depend on, and feel at ease, it is like a poor father who is not trusted by the children at all.

This is the difference between the electorate and the pope.

The elect are responsible to God, but the pope is responsible to man.

If Roland wants to be the representative of the Eternal Sleeping Mentor and monopolize the power, he must not show even the slightest blemish on his resume.

Burning Cam, destroying the city of wealth, and the crimes he will commit in the White Tower, Roland has already planned to let "Crazy Orlando" go to him, and then be judged and died in the White Tower in front of everyone .

In order to ensure that he already has a naturally depreciated prestige, Roland must not let himself have a dime relationship with Dusk.

For example, if he saw Kakarit using the Ash Entanglement Technique, Roland would kill him sooner or later.

Of course, now is not the time...

After obtaining the supernatural ability of Plague Nest, Roland's mind turned and he decided on the matter within a few seconds.

An Ruosi saw that Roland shouted to himself and then stopped abruptly, so he turned his head suspiciously: "Mr. Roland, what's the matter?"

Roland, who was suddenly frozen before, came back to his senses, and showed a gentle smile at An Ruosi: "It's okay, An Ruosi, come here."

For some reason, Roland's crazy expression suddenly flashed in An Ruosi's mind. An Ruosi shook his head vigorously to dispel this unreliable thought, and ran towards Roland in response.

Before he could reach Roland, Roland reached out and held An Ruosi's head, which immediately startled An Ruosi.

Immediately, An Ruosi felt a little flustered.

It wasn't that he was nervous because he had never been so close to a hooded Roland.

An Ruosi suddenly remembered his teacher.

Although his height is close to 1.8 meters, Roland needs to look up to himself at this moment, but he has a sense of sight as his teacher holds his head down and lectures.

They are both small and have a face that is too beautiful to look like a man, but they all have a fearsome and convincing aura...

Therefore, even if Roland didn't violently push An Ruosi's head lower than his line of sight like his teacher did, An Ruosi still felt a little guilty.

"An Ruosi, let me ask you." Before An Ruosi could speak, Roland asked in a serious voice, "Are you sure there is only one stranger here?"

An Ruosi immediately understood what Roland wanted to know.

Although the information fed back to him by witchcraft is absolutely clear and correct, it is still a bit false for Roland to ask An Ruosi like this.

...Maybe I remembered it wrong, or maybe there was a mistake in the witchcraft... or something...

So An Ruosi just shook his head hesitantly: "I'm not sure...I need to perform the search for humanoid creatures again."

"it is good."

Promising in this way, Roland simply let go of his head.

An Ruosi breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he had the illusion that his head would be bitten off by Roland...

So An Ruosi looked at the surrounding environment, stretched out his right hand to roughly estimate the length of each room, pondered for a while, then stretched out his cane to draw in the air, and a large piece of runes appeared in front of his eyes.

Following the calculations muttered by An Ruosi, the surrounding environmental variables were substituted into the formula one by one, and the white runes were confirmed to be true, and a blue soft light shone.

Immediately, with An Ruosi as the center, invisible fluctuations began to spread, avoiding all the walls, searching for the breath of all the living like a spirit snake.

Seeing this, Roland showed a satisfied smile.

Before they were on the ground, the witchcraft to search for humanoid creatures could only be released downwards indiscriminately, and some errors would inevitably occur.

But now they are underground, without the obstruction of the rock formations, the accuracy of witchcraft in searching for humanoid creatures has undoubtedly increased a lot, but at the same time it has also increased the difficulty of casting spells.

It’s okay to use astrology to cast spells. It’s nothing more than adding a few constellations related to the underground and then changing the layout. In essence, there is no increase in difficulty; but if you use the formula method, a lot of complicated variables are added once you enter the underground. The calculation difficulty is doubled.

Just like the earthquake technique cannot ignore the thickness of the rock layer and the type of soil; the meteorite technique also needs to calculate the falling trajectory, coverage area and aiming error caused by the wind. Except for the curse wizard, there is basically no witchcraft that does not use computational.

The difficulty of these calculations is the most difficult for the Sly Knife Wizard.Nearly every attack they make involves the distortion of light, the blocking of sound, and the calculation of spatial position.The players are fine, there are system-assisted calculations, they only need to lock the approximate range and the rest can be ignored, but for NPC wizards, every angle and every distance of teleportation needs to be calculated, precise teleportation and long-distance teleportation The formulas are not even the same.

When teleporting with people, you can't miscalculate the size of the space occupied by the person being carried, and whether you and the person being carried will be stuck in the terrain after the teleportation.

In the game, you can kill yourself to get out of freezing, but there is no such powerful function here.

The more reliable An Ruosi is, the more likely Roland will not have to go to those untrustworthy Sly Sword Wizards in the future.

The world of Farnes is simply too big.Although it is much smaller than the earth, it is definitely not possible for one person to move quickly within a few days.

Before the establishment of the new White Tower, the remote communication device similar to the telephone was not popularized at all.

Without the teleportation ability of the Knife Wizard, Roland would not be able to issue emergency orders to the district bishops.Moreover, the confidentiality of these orders is not guaranteed.

However, if Roland were asked to find ready-made magic knife wizards, Roland would not be able to trust them.

Due to occupational issues, few crafty knife wizards have no connection with the Assassin Organization.

What if one of the liaisons I found was actually a member of the Assassin Organization by accident?
This scenario is entirely possible, and the probability is very high.

Even if Roland can guarantee that there is no problem with the Sly Sword Wizard beside him, he can't guarantee that the Sly Sword Wizard who is waiting for summons in the sub-parish is all right.

The enemies Roland will face in the future will be far more difficult than they are now, so he must make plans in advance.

Not to mention the spies of other organizations, those who sneak in with malicious intentions must be spies of Twilight.

An Ruosi can estimate the size of the room and the thickness of the walls just by visual inspection without the sensing means of a silver-rank wizard, which shows that he is also very talented in space.

It is too wasteful for such a person to build fortifications every day, maybe he can be trained as a crafty knife wizard...

Those Throat Smashing Wands have been tested long ago, and wizards are not like what the White Tower said when they were apprentices, they cannot learn witchcraft across departments.

Presumably, this is probably a white lie fabricated to ensure that each department's wizard apprentices can concentrate on their studies.

While Roland was thinking wildly, An Ruosi had already completed the search on the other side.

He raised his head, eyes full of anxiety: "Mr. Roland..."

It goes without saying that Roland already understood the results of the search.

In comparison, Macon was still not found.

Roland couldn't help but frowned.

……strangeness.

Where has he gone?
Is Macon not here at all, or has he been killed by Marco?

Or, he had fled here after An Ruosi left?
But why didn't he come back to find An Ruosi after he escaped?

... wait.

Roland's heart moved.

No matter where Macken goes, even if he is still in the team, he will be useless for the time being.

Roland no longer lacks that silver-level force.

Regardless of the fact that Roland has not yet entered the Bronze Rank, with his infinite blood, infinite blue and his own prayers and chants, even a Silver Rank Roland can beat him. run away.

I really can't escape... At least I can call my parents.

With the vitality bonus brought by Roland's current template and the defensive power of Embrace of Eternal Sleep, there are very few existences below the road of awakening that can make Roland die instantly before he can react.

As long as Roland is still alive, he has the ability to invite the Eternal Sleeping Mentor to come and beat up children.This was also the reason for Roland to commit suicide at will.

But that's a last resort.

The strength of the Eternal Sleeping Teacher is not something that a mere half-fairy can bear, and it is almost the same after he got the blood of mercury.

Now that Roland no longer lacks the force of Macon, and in the later stage of the plague revival, Roland may not need Macon's dark move at all. He can use Macon to exchange for some new things.

For example, access to the White Tower.

Generally speaking, since the method will be troublesome, it will definitely be the simple one.

An Ruosi can use the formula method to perform prophecy witchcraft, which means that he must have a teacher from the astrology department, and his grades in the astrology department are definitely not bad.

After all, it is definitely not as convenient to use the formula of the enchantment system to calculate the position of the stars as it is to directly play with the star system.

If Roland could make An Ruo think of asking his astrology teacher to directly locate Macon, he would have a reason to sneak into the White Tower directly.

So Roland asked, "An Ruosi, who is your teacher?"

Roland did not expect that An Ruosi suddenly raised his head to look at Roland when he heard these words, showing a completely undisguised look of surprise.
