From Wild Mage to Wizard King
Chapter 196 Dialogue
Outside the room, Roland stopped and glanced at the guard standing at the door.
Before he could say anything, a voice came from the room.
"Roland? Please come in."
Hearing this voice, Roland did not hesitate. Under the gaze of the two guards, he calmly lifted the door curtain and walked in.
What Roland saw was a simple study.
On the right side of the study, there was a simple sandbox map with various signs on it.
On the left side of the study, there was a table and several chairs. At this moment, a man who looked a little old was standing in front of the table, staring at Roland with sharp eyes. Behind him was a large bookcase filled with various books.
Since he was the only one in the room, and Roland could sense the extremely sharp and powerful power from him.
It was obvious that he was the high-level knight Locke.
Roland ignored the strong pressure around him and politely saluted Locke.
Seeing Roland's performance, Locke was also a little surprised. Although he was just testing and had no ill intentions, a wizard actually had such courage and remained calm.
Locke quietly put away his pressure, and politely returned Roland's greeting. He stretched out his right hand and said to the chair opposite the table.
"Please sit down."
After saying that, he sat on the chair himself.
Roland also sat down opposite him calmly.
Without hesitation, Roland took the lead and asked.
"I don't know if Sir Locke has any urgent business to find me?"
Locke nodded slightly, and did not answer Roland's question immediately, and said.
"Sir, you are a spellcaster, and you are not from Donnar. Why are you here?"
"I heard that you are also very famous in Sinnar. Even I have heard of your reputation of being knowledgeable and rich more than once."
After a pause, he looked at Roland with a sharp gaze and asked back.
"Sir, did you come to the west this time for fame or profit?"
Roland suddenly came to Donnar without any warning, brought his own dry food to manage the old Qi, and even organized the army to go to the front line before it was settled for a long time.
This is too active. Some Donnar people in the rear are not as active as Roland.
In addition, Locke did not have a good impression of the Sinar people. Since he was supported to establish and raise the banner of fighting against the Green Tide, the Donnar people he met were either mercenaries who took money to do things, adventure groups that explored and made trouble everywhere, or they were hiding in the rear and hitting their own people hard, harvesting and exploiting everywhere, or they were extraordinary people who joined the coalition army and engaged in political struggles.
Basically, the Sinar people who came here had no interest in fighting against the Green Tide. They all came to Donnar for fame and profit.
Therefore, Roland's almost selfless performance was particularly prominent. As an extraordinary person, he did not go to Eleanor to fight for power, nor did he stay in the rear to exploit the local people. What was the purpose of organizing such a large army at his own expense?
Moreover, as a suspected high-level spellcaster, he can also be powerful in Sinar if he wants to.
Locke does not believe that Roland is a selfless saint who has no pursuits, so he will naturally doubt Roland.
Roland did not evade Locke's very direct question. He met Locke's sharp eyes with his calm and calm eyes and said calmly.
"I came here for fame and fortune. The Rose War ended too early. Sinar has regained peace and there is no room for me to play. In the peaceful era, the Silver Empire will not treat me well. In addition, I need a territory that I can draw at will, and I am also interested in the books in the Central Library."
Roland's words are of course true. The Silver Empire will not give Roland the position of Silver Emperor. Since he does not give him the throne, it means that Roland is not treated well. He is not interested in being a feudal noble.
As for the territory that can be drawn at will, Roland just has a bigger appetite. He wants the whole of Donnar. As for the collection of books, it is best to have it, but it doesn't matter if there is none.
Listening to Roland's answer, Locke also pretended to believe it, nodded, and said.
"Okay, after this annihilation war, I will apply for a title for you from Eleanor. As long as you kill enough greenskins later, even if you want to be a grand duke, I can help you apply. As for the books in the central library, I know the location of a branch library. When I recover the lost land, I can give you the books in the branch library."
"This is the annihilation war. You need to be responsible for cleaning the area."
As he spoke, Locke also took a map out from under the table and handed it to Roland.
Roland took the map, opened it and took a rough look.
While Roland was looking at the map, Locke continued.
"According to the investigation, this area is mainly composed of three large greenskin tribes and dozens of branch tribes under them. What do you think? Do you have the confidence to deal with them?"
"Not difficult, yes."
Roland put away the map, nodded, and said in agreement.
He raised his head and looked at Locke again and asked.
"That's all?"
Roland brought 50,000 troops with him. Although there were many green-skinned orcs in the mission area, it was not a particularly difficult mission. Roland felt that he could kill all the green-skinned orcs by sending two or three legions.
"If the war starts, I will issue new orders after you complete the mission."
Locke said with a smile.
"Any questions?"
As he spoke, Locke picked up the cup on the table, implying that he could leave if there was no problem.
"No, I'll take my leave first."
Roland shook his head, stood up, turned around and walked out of the room.
After Roland left the room, Locke put the cup back on the table. He looked at the sandbox map on the other side of the room and thought silently.
He did not believe everything Roland said. Locke's intuition told him that Roland was telling the truth, but his real goal was definitely not as simple as he said.
After thinking for a long time, he stood up, walked to the sandbox, and lowered his head to look at the friendly mark on it.
After staring for a while, he shouted.
"Guard."
Hearing his words, a guard at the door of the room lifted the curtain and walked in. He half-knelt on the ground, waiting for Locke's order.
"Go and invite Odin, and say that I have something to discuss with her and ask her to come over."
The guard nodded and quickly turned around and left the room.
After the guard left the room, he also reached out and picked up a mark on the sand table and readjusted its position.
Locke was still not very confident about Roland. It was not that he was worried about Roland's real goal. After all, no matter what, he was also a human being. He couldn't hook up with the greenskins.
He was mainly worried about Roland's military strength. Although Roland's army was large in number, could soldiers who had only been trained for a few months really fight against the greenskin orcs? What if they couldn't complete the tasks assigned to them?
So, a guarantee was needed.
