Chapter 222 Using Cards as Bait
"What's wrong with these people? Could it be that... this is considered a defeat in a duel?"

Roland happened to be studying phantom magic cards and dark games recently, and he was a little surprised to hear some anecdotes from Blaise.

This Xingtian card is a model of successful transformation.

On the magic card created by the magic crystal, Xing Tian's pattern roared, and the whole picture gave people a sense of lifelike reality.

After the red light was drawn, the cards were shining brightly, and the blood on the whole body seemed to become more condensed.

"It has been promoted to the fifth level!"

Surprised, Roland took the cards back.

Looking closely, a new star lit up at the top of the card.

He couldn't figure out why for a while, but what was certain was that the spirit of contract that this card could summon was stronger.

At this time, Rila and Nicole came over.

"Master, two people here died suddenly!"

After hearing the report, Roland was a little surprised, and quickly asked, "Where are the other two who were knocked down by me?"

They were lying far away, and Nicole ran over to have a look: "How many breaths are left, what should I do?"

Roland thought for a while, and walked over with the card, without any reaction.

"So that's how it is." He suddenly realized something, "Give them each a bottle of healing potion, whether they can survive or not depends on God's will.

I have already notified the security force in Tai Rui City with the wind message technique, and someone will come to clean up the mess later. "

Then he looked at Trina again: "Are you okay now? Do you want to get in the carriage and take a rest first?"

"I'm not that fragile." Trina glanced at him, a little confused, whether to accept this favor or not.

She lived from a baby dragon to an adult, and had never been injured that badly.

For a moment just now, I almost thought I was going to die.

But if it wasn't for the loss of the godhead fragments, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but become more entangled.

Roland persuaded: "You must not hold on."

Trina clenched her fists, her face flushed slightly, and she argued, "If it wasn't for you, would I need to fight him on the ground?
Our giant dragon family should have soared into the sky, coming and going freely.

Even if we attack those countries with high magic power, it may not be able to stop me! "

Then, there were excuses such as "run away if you can't beat him", "I was careless and didn't dodge", "see how I hang him in another 100 years".

What stands out is a central idea, Queen Cuihua is not that weak, the serious injury just now was just an accident!

Roland listened, but nodded in agreement.

As a long-lived species, she should indeed fulfill the dog's principle of running away if she can't be beaten.

If you are careless this time, you will have experience next time.

More than ten or ten years later, Serrad's grave has already grown grass, but she is still young and vigorous, and it is indeed possible to hang a more powerful human warrior.

"It's my fault for employing people improperly.

Your regular combat power is far better than the ability to defend the guard, limited to the identity of the bodyguard, it is indeed misplaced.

But I still need your help now, so even if you are not good at this job, please do your best to protect me until I become a real strong person.

The life of a dragon is very long, wasting this time is nothing to you, and I, Roland, are also a potential stock. If I can become an archmage or even a legendary mage, we can form a stronger alliance. "

"Tch, you're so shameless to say something!" Trina spat.

Not long after, the guards in Terry City rushed over, as well as a seventh-rank and two sixth-rank battle mages from the mage group.

"Your Excellency Roland, are you okay? The location of the magic net in this place is really bad. We couldn't use the teleportation technique to lock the anchor point in time. I'm really sorry."

He came riding a phantom horse summoned by spells, a magical horse with limited speed.

Roland waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there's nothing else going on here."

"Who are these assassins, do you have any clues?" one of the battle mages asked.

"I don't know yet." Roland shook his head.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, our mage group will definitely investigate to the end!" Another leader promised quickly.

Roland said: "There's no need for this. They're just petty thieves. If possible, I would like to interrogate them myself. My people will also rush to dispose of these two corpses."

"In that case, it's up to you to listen."

Several Atlantes looked at each other and bowed in salute.

……

After that, Leon, Bolas and others expressed their concerns one after another, and said they would deal with it severely.

Roland said that there is no need to go through a lot of trouble.

He wanted to conceal the mutation of Xingtian's spirit, as well as his relationship with the Tinyala Restoration Army, so instead of providing the necessary clues, he misled them into the last Ratman assassination.

That incident has already begun, and several ordinary small characters have been arrested, and now they are trying to target the high-level people and launch a devastating blow to them.

It's a pity that the Mage Corps has limited manpower, and the strength of Leiner's subordinates is not strong enough, so the progress is a bit slow.

It is presumed that the reoccurrence of the crime this time will put heavy pressure on all parties and form a more effective blow.

Leon made a suggestion to Roland: "The exclusive guards assigned to you by the committee are still in the process of selection and training. I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the post until the Mage Tower is officially put into use. Before that, please try to live in the city as much as possible.

This side is relatively close to the mage group's station, and it is easy to rush to help in the event of a battle. "

Roland followed suit: "Okay then, but to avoid worrying relatives, friends and other parties, please keep this matter to yourself.

The last time there was such a commotion, I even heard about it from Arteline, so I really can't bear it. "

Leon looked at him, and after a while, he replied, "No problem."

The people under him have already gone to the site to investigate and found that things are not simple.

There are traces of poisonous miasma over there, as well as footprints trampled by giants, indicating that Trina has changed back to her dragon form, and the whole process is not necessarily as light as Roland said.

Moreover, Roland refused to even hand over the corpses of the assassins he had killed to the security forces, which was a bit of an understatement.

However, big shots, who doesn't have a few secrets?

The members of the mage group will not rush to spy.

This is a tacit understanding.

……

The next day, in a luxurious hotel in Tairui City.

When Roland woke up from the bed, he felt sore all over his body, and his spirit was sluggish, and he couldn't lift his spirits.

That is the negative state caused by the surge of magic power after casting a large number of spells.

"Master, do you feel unwell, may I press it for you?"

Al thoughtfully helped Roland up, and asked softly.

After she heard the news yesterday, she rushed over from the manor immediately.

Along with them, there are many servants under Roland's name.

They brought Roland's usual living items, private possessions, and other things that were placed there.

Therefore, even though Roland rented here temporarily, he also gained the experience of being at home.

"Okay." Roland rolled over and lay down, relaxing his whole body.

Al straddles him and massages.

Creatures like humans have never been a good material for magic.

However, Roland's body has been strengthened in various ways, and it is no longer comparable to ordinary people.

What he possesses is the fifth-level magic power brought by the "dream technique", which is not so fragile.

So now he only has some slight soreness, and there is no consequence of any broken organs or muscle tears.

Among them, Roland and Al talked about the corresponding arrangements.

"Long-term renting here is not an option, it is better to buy some land on the outskirts of the city and build a villa, which is convenient for living.

In a few years, the new city will be expanded, and the manor will become lively, and the roads between the two sides will no longer be remote places.

I heard that there are some new inventions of magic technology in Altera Rhine. The magic school and the alchemy school have jointly created some vehicle-type constructs. Buy a magic vehicle with combat power to facilitate travel.

I used up some of the spell scrolls and alchemy potions that were always in the dimension bag, and replenished them in time. "

Roland ordered while enjoying Al's massage.

Among them, the most expensive one should be the magic vehicle he proposed.

The construct, which at least costs millions of gold coins, is not cheap to maintain.

But Roland didn't care. Anyway, the funds are abundant now, and they will be used first if they can be allocated.

If those people's advertisements are not bragging, it should have a strong traffic capacity of more than 200 kilometers per hour, be able to climb mountains and ridges, and fly at low altitudes.

When encountering enemies, they can also fire spells and even transform into battle puppets.

Al said: "Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

While enjoying the massage, Roland took out the card he was carrying with him again and looked at it.

The Xingtian pattern in the picture is even more powerful, and the blood is lingering, as if it can be reflected in reality through the picture.

You can feel a bit of heat just by touching it with your fingers.

……

"How on earth did you do it, this card has been promoted?"

Not long after, in the reception room of Xishan Manor.

Wearing white gloves and holding a magnifying glass, Blaise appraised the cards in a very professional manner, amazed again and again.

"You found someone for a duel in the dark game, and won?"

"It's not that simple, it may be related to the sacrificial ceremony."

Roland briefly told Blaise about his relationship with the Tinyara Restoration Army, but he didn't reveal too much inside information. He just explained that there was a relationship between his "Xing Tian War Intent" and their "Xing Tian Totem". homologous connection.

This kind of thing can't be hidden from those who are interested, and it will be clear after a little investigation.

"I seem to have heard of this before, and someone attacked you for leaking magic technology to that organization. Now it seems that the link between beliefs has been established, and it may create some monsters due to the popularity of the Siris deck. trouble."

After learning about it, Blaize sighed with emotion.

"But you don't need to worry too much, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice in history.

Whether it is a newborn heroic spirit, or some mysterious beings who are unwilling to perish and sleep forever, they will all be bound by the rules of the phantom magic card.

The key still lies in the struggle for life and soul! "

"So, Serrad will definitely not let it go?"

"Speaking in the way of the school of Seris, who wants to make a wedding dress for others?

Either they change to another belief, or they get this card and take it into their own hands.

To provide for nothing is something that any leader with a head would not do. "

"That's difficult. I still want to take this opportunity to study the growth of cards!"

"Actually, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, in the original card association, there are many legends who want to become gods or live forever with the power of faith.

They've put a lot of power into the rules of the cards, and I'd like to take the opportunity to do some research. "

Blaise thought for a while and made a suggestion to Roland.

"Use this card as bait to lure them to worship and use it, and continue to keep this belief!
If you are willing to give up a card, you may be able to exchange for other cards, or even the birth of the entire Siris god system!
There are many high-level mages who have done this in history, but it is not easy to find high-quality targets like Serrad and the others.

They seem to have a totem secret method to anchor the original gods. It may be a sacred object, or it may be a contract passed down in the blood. Even if they are forcibly seized, it is not easy to succeed. Choose, it is easier to achieve the conditions required for observation! "

"Give up one card in exchange for more?" Roland was moved.

"If possible, the Gong Gong you gave me, and Zhu Rong from Moreira, also join this plan.

We will definitely do our best to help you unearth the mysteries! "

Blaise said seriously.

He didn't propose other rewards, because the growth of the cards that would be possible, and the ownership of the powerful contracted spirit were rewards in themselves.

After Blaise left, Roland summoned Trina immediately and asked, "Can you get in touch with Serrad?"

Cuina said: "I used to receive support from the Restoration Army, but there was a fixed payment channel. Why do you ask this?"

"Don't worry about it so much, just give me the contact information."

Trina had to tell him the specific way.

At the same time, Roland interrogated the captives and learned that they were warriors of the Mata tribe and Serrad's confidantes.

"Tell your leader, if you want this card, don't play hard with me, bring his sincerity, and real bargaining chips, and have a good talk with me!
This kind of thing is very important to you, but to me, it is just an ordinary summoned object. "

It was obvious that he wanted to experiment and seize the opportunity, but Roland refused to lose the initiative, and instead let the other party beg him.

He expected that the other party, as the leader of a faction, would not fail to see some clues.

But for the development of power, in order to obtain strong power, we have to obey.

This is called death for money and death for birds.

Afterwards, he let one of the warriors go back and waited for Serrad to take the bait.
