Chapter 8 Night Dire
As the bonus points were added, Roland did not feel any obvious changes in himself.

Apart from the increase in the small amount of magic power in the body, there seemed to be no other movement.

After clicking on the panel again to check the situation, Roland was soon speechless.

[Host: Roland]

[Rank: Second Ring Intermediate Magician (2213/10000)]

[Spell: Flash (Lv9/Lv10), Upgrade Progress: (1/5), 4 skill points required.]

Roland: "..."

Never mind, it’s not a complete loss.

Roland comforted himself in this way, then looked at the system's assessment of his own strength.

Second Ring Intermediate? This was the first time he had seen this kind of classification.

The power system hierarchy in this world is not that rigorous.

In other words, before entering the seventh-ring extraordinary level, the players in the first six levels are just accumulating the magic power in their bodies.

The small source of magic power in the body is enough to complete a cycle of star field mapping meditation, which is one ring.

The one that can complete two cycles in a row is a two-ring, three times is a three-ring, and six times is a six-ring.

It sounds easy, but it's not easy at all.

If the meditation sessions were separated, even a magician apprentice who had just started learning meditation could complete six cycles in one day.

But if it is completed continuously, the magic power required will increase exponentially.

Generally speaking, the magic power of a second-ring magician is more than ten times that of a first-ring magician.

Therefore, the magician's strength was determined solely by the length of the blue bar, which gave Roland the opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak.

Fortunately, he was fighting against a fragile magician. As long as there was a way to prevent them from using protective spells, even a first-level magician would have a chance to kill a sixth-level magician.

But if it were a group of melee warriors who had abandoned resonance spellcasting and focused on using small source magic to strengthen their bodies, Roland's little tricks would not be very effective.

It’s just a few mines. A fourth-ring warrior can completely withstand them with his body.

How can a mere landmine compare to a well-trained body?

As a warrior, the first step is to learn how to stack armor and withstand attacks. This is what makes you a qualified warrior.

Of course, there were also magicians like Roland who specialized in close combat, but generally speaking, these magicians chose to specialize in close combat mainly because of their own proficiency in magic. In terms of pure physical resistance, they were no match for those reckless men.

Roland is different. The reason he chose this path is thanks to the great virtue of old Lancelot.

As an old adventurer, old Lancelot knew that he would not live to retire if he only knew how to cast spells.

So from a young age, the first lesson that old Lancelot, a fourth-ring magician, taught Roland was not meditation, nor spellcasting techniques and magical resonance.

But swordsmanship and physical training.

Later, Roland, relying on his amazing wisdom as a time traveler, developed the Flash spell, which can be used to advance or retreat, based on the military's portable directional transmission device.

It was the flash spell he developed that made old Lancelot decide to spend all his money to support his unfortunate son. It was also this spell that allowed him to qualify for the examination of the Royal Capital Magic Academy.

What a pity! I originally thought that one skill point could upgrade a skill by one level.

Originally, he thought that he had almost fully developed Flash. As a short-distance, instantaneous space movement spell, its flexibility and practicality were needless to say.

But after further analysis of the system, Roland discovered that there was still room for development in this flash skill?

I don't know what it will look like when it reaches the maximum level.

"Tongzi, your mission reward is not good enough? Even if it is a guaranteed reward, you should give more, right?"

"Um?!!!"

By the time Roland realized what was happening around him, it was too late.

Previously, his attention was completely focused on clue deduction and system rewards, and he didn't notice anything unusual around him.

There was no light in the room at this moment.

Even the cool moonlight that shone through the open window was swallowed up the moment it entered the room.

Roland's eyes were filled with darkness. The next moment, his vision became bright again, abnormally bright.

He suddenly appeared on a lawn, with sunlight shining overhead, filtering through dense leaves, and chaotic yet warm spots of light fell on him.

What you see before you is a tree house that was converted from a giant tree. The originally naturally formed tree hole has become the door of this tree house after simple decoration. Faint and melodious singing can be heard from inside the tree house.

Roland looked around. Apart from the open space near the tree house, the rest of the area was covered with tall trees.

The wind blew through the woods, and the branches and leaves swayed softly.

Roland subconsciously wanted to relax, to stay here, to lie on his back on the grass, letting the sun shine on him, and let this go on forever...

"!!!"

Roland suddenly came back to his senses and regained his consciousness.

He subconsciously reached for his waist, and the magic-suppressing stone knife that had been hanging there was gone. Not only that, even his long sword was gone.

With empty hands, he looked at the tree house in front of him, and after some thought, he chose to walk in.

“Hmph~Hmph~Hmph~~~”

An unknown melodious tune was hummed by a girl in a coarse black robe.

The blue-haired girl with her long hair tied up behind her head was stirring the crucible in front of her with one hand and adding unknown materials into it.

A very stereotypical scene of a witch making potions appeared before Roland.

"Kaliyah?"

Roland spoke tentatively and took two steps towards the person in front of him.

The person in front of me is undoubtedly Kalia.

Apart from the different dress and spirit, there is no difference in appearance.

"Well, there are guests?"

Kalia seemed a little flustered when she saw Roland, and she even slowed down the pace of stirring the crucible. "Sorry, I didn't expect a guest. Wait a moment, I'll go get it for you..."

Roland didn't hear the second half of the sentence.

The moment Kalia opened her mouth, he seemed to hear a whisper, and then woke up in shock.

When he broke free from the illusion or dream, an indescribable and terrifying monster made of shadows was opening its "huge mouth" to swallow Roland.

"Flash Magic!!!"

Roland, quick-witted, instantly mobilized all the magic power he could mobilize and released a light that was more dazzling than sunlight.

The shadows and monsters melted away together under the flash magic released by Roland. Of course, there might be other reasons for their disappearance.

Kalia wakes up.

"Whoa!"

"my eyes!"

Kalia screamed and jumped up from the sofa, then tripped over the hem of her cloak and fell to the ground with a thud.

Rubbing the part of her body that was hurt from the fall, Kalia turned her head and looked at Roland half-complainingly: "Why are you casting Flash Magic so late at night?"

But soon she became panicked because she found that Roland was walking towards her with the magic-proof stone knife.

"You, you, you, what do you want to do?"

Kalia took out her staff and hugged it to her chest, looking a little scared.

Although she was one rank higher than Roland, she still unconsciously lowered herself to him when facing Roland, who was now in such high spirits and had helped her a lot.

"You really don't know what just happened?" Roland looked serious, but he also put away the knife.

In fact, Kalia didn't need to answer, he could roughly guess the answer from her expression.

She... seemed to have no idea what had just happened.
