From Wild Mage to Wizard King

The bright sunlight fell from the sky, illuminating a small village in front of him.

Roland stood in the shade of the tree, slowly looking at the small village in front of him.

This is a very ordinary village. The villagers living here basically limit their activities to the vicinity of the village. They work from sunrise to sunset.

After years of farming, the land of the village is flat and wide, the houses are neat and tidy, the paths in the fields are intertwined, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard in the village.

The fertile fields are full of golden wheat, and the farmers are working hard in them.

Next to the wheat field, there are several trees planted next to several square ponds. The old people sit in the shade of the trees and happily watch the children playing in the open space next to them.

In the sound of playing, some fish in the pond also jump out of the pond from time to time.

In this world full of feudal nobles, the rule of the Tower of Truth is still relatively human.

Although the main income of the Tower of Truth is still taxes, territory production and trade, the taxes and production provided by civilians only account for a small part.

Their main taxes and production come from the spellcasters of the Tower of Truth, and trade income basically comes from the major chambers of commerce in the Silver Empire.

As the place where spellcasters of the Silver Empire gather, it can be said that the wealth of the entire Silver Empire has been pouring in.

Therefore, the Tower of Truth does not care about the little money provided by the civilians, and is too lazy to waste time to squeeze them.

The same is true for the spellcasters of the Tower of Truth. They don't want to care about these trivial matters at all. They might as well think about how to improve their own strength or their own research projects.

If they are really short of money, wouldn't it be better to do a few school commissions?

Therefore, the rule of the Tower of Truth over the civilians is a simple and crude technical official rule, prohibiting more births, limiting population growth, ensuring the balance of the population in the territory, and keeping all the civilians in captivity.

Every year or even every few years, a spellcaster apprentice will be randomly selected to patrol and use spells to simply and crudely solve the various troubles accumulated in each village.

For example: counting the population and redistributing the fields, handling and resolving conflicts between villagers, etc.

The former is not difficult. Under absolute violence, no fool would dare to oppose the Tower of Truth. The Tower of Truth will not talk about human rights with civilians. If you dare to question or oppose, you will be killed.

The latter is not difficult either. The patrolling spellcaster apprentices basically wear spell rings enchanted with the control system. No matter what happens to them, they can directly call all the parties involved and ask them once to know the result.

In short, although the autocratic rule of the Tower of Truth is not very good and full of violence, it is still much better than the rule of the nobles outside.

At least, as long as you are honest and obedient in the Tower of Truth, you can basically live a stable life. Even if you have any illness, as long as you can hold on until the patrol, you can get free treatment.

From the surface, the village in front of you is just an ordinary small village in the territory of the Tower of Truth.

If Roland had not confirmed the location of the Court of Silence from his memory, Roland would not have seen that the village in front of him would be the core base of the Court of Silence.

Looking at the villagers outside the village who knew nothing, Roland thought for a while.

Due to the existence of the patrol mechanism, all the actions of the Silent Courtyard are mainly secretive, and the traces of activities are reduced as much as possible. At the same time, in order to avoid exposure, in addition to being well disguised, they will try not to interact with the villagers as much as possible, for fear that a spellcaster will expose them one day.

Therefore, these villagers know nothing, and have not gained any benefits from the Silent Courtyard here.

After all, they are not like the cultists in the north.

Although as a fourth-ring spellcaster, when attacked by the Silent Courtyard, Roland's revenge is expanded and the entire village is razed to the ground, no one will say anything.

According to the concept of this world, it is completely reasonable.

However, Roland does not like to involve innocent civilians, and he should not involve them as much as possible.

Of course, if he is really involved, Roland can only apologize and compensate them as much as possible afterwards.

And if he does not want to affect civilians, then. Roland has only one choice, stealth assassination.

Although the incident happened suddenly and Roland did not prepare any tools for assassination, based on Roland's experience in the past few years, he did not think that it would be difficult to assassinate the Silent Court in this backward world.

Roland took out some metal materials from the space bracelet and used magic to knead them into the shape of a dagger. Although the rough blade was not sharp at all, the lethality was almost zero.

But it didn't matter. The dagger Roland kneaded was just used as a carrier for enchantment.

Roland took out the magic book and enchanted the dagger with positive energy and space magic.

Positive energy strengthened its structure and gave it a special attack to restrain the undead.

And space magic strengthened its breakthrough and lethality, giving it the ability to tear space.

After completing the enchantment, Roland felt the dagger in his hand.

If it is not used all the time, it can probably last for a week, and the enchantment on it will collapse after a week.

After all, it is not a permanent enchantment, and it is already very good that the temporary enchantment can be used for a week.

Roland held the dagger and disappeared under the shade of the tree.

Technique—Shadow Stealth.

In the shade of the trees, a black shadow rushed from the ground to the village. At the same time, when it came into contact with the sunlight on the surface, the black shadow quickly changed color. In less than two seconds, it changed to the color of the sunlight and completely blended into the surrounding environment.

Since Roland had already read the memories of the heir of the Silent Court in advance, he was familiar with the structure of the village. Therefore, he easily bypassed the houses on the periphery and went directly into the underground cave of the village through the secret passage, entering the old home of the Silent Court.

Roland lay dormant above the cave, thus easily avoiding everyone in the Silent Court.

According to the memories he read, Roland also successfully avoided most of the warnings and defense measures. For the few places that could not be bypassed, Roland carefully performed micro-manipulation, paralyzed them for a short time, and then quickly passed through.

Soon, Roland arrived deep in the cave.

In the depths of the cave, Roland saw his target.

The current head of the Silent Court, a five-ring spellcaster.

However, Roland's arrival time was a bit subtle.

In the hall at the moment, almost all the high-level people of the Silent Court gathered here.

In addition to the person in charge, there were three fourth-ring spellcasters and more than a dozen third-ring spellcasters.
