Chapter 203 The mana is not rising?
Because Dandilaya looked very tight, Roland could only stay in the room honestly.
Although she did not admit it, she was actually Roland's half of the magic tutor.
Of course, her requirements cannot be ignored, so Roland still spends most of her time practicing piano, her other half, meditation, exercise, learning spells, and studying universal staff, and not leaving behind.
Compared to the combat mage training some time ago, he didn't waste any time. He ate, drank, and slept well every day. Every 5 days, Dandilaya also provides the water of life to help him heal the erosion of the chaotic power.
As a result, Roland's body became strong at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and even her head was quite thrust. Looking at the tall and big man, Dandyraya had to retreat a little while talking to him, otherwise she would have to raise her head to see Roland's face.
This was the first time Roland had lived such a comfortable life after coming to another world, and he didn't need to worry about worldly trivial matters at all. He was like becoming an emperor.
But there is one thing that is not good!
That is meditation.
His meditation efficiency is getting less and less effective.
For some reason, every day, his meditation efficiency decreases a little. Although the land drops a lot each time, it has been reduced by 30% over the past ten days.
What made Roland even more upset was that compared with the daily meditation data, the decline not only did not slow down, but accelerated. According to the current trend, if this situation lasted for another month, his mana would no longer increase.
Roland really didn't understand why such a bad situation occurred. After 2 weeks of persistence and found that the situation had not improved, he couldn't stand it and began to write letters to his mentor Locandi, seeking guidance.
In fact, he could also ask Dandilaya, but meditation is the most basic practice of the mage and the most important practice, and it is not careless at all.
In this world, the only magic tutor he trusts is Lokandi.
On the afternoon of the day after sending the letter, Roland received another letter from Green Leaf Manor.
Of course, the mentor's reply could not be so fast, it should be Lily's letter to him.
Roland felt much better. After receiving the letter, he immediately hid in the room and started reading.
‘Roland, I love you, I received your reply. The messages in the letter made me feel at ease. The jokes you told were very interesting. I told them to my uncle, but my uncle almost broke off from laughing... but it scared me.’
Roland couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it seems I have to make up a few more jokes, um ~ I know there are so many jokes, so why not make up a joke collection and go back."
He continued to read.
After Lily told her a few words of longing, she talked about some interesting things about life, and then began to introduce the recent situation in the southern suburbs.
‘The situation in the southern suburbs is getting more and more chaotic, and there are bandits wandering everywhere in the wilderness. Not to mention at night, even during the day, no one dares to go out alone. Although the weather is still hot, no one dares to take a walk by the river again.’
‘I heard from my uncle that the situation in Turin is pretty good. There were even rebellions in several cities in the north, and many generals took the lead in resisting Guangling’s tyranny. It is said that the largest rebel army, the Red Eagle Army, had gathered 50,000 or 60,000 troops and had occupied more than a dozen towns. They fought bloody battles with the regular army in the field, and the battle was fierce, and many people died.’
'I also saw a lot of refugees who fled from the north. They said the Red Eagle Army was very cruel and killed when they saw people, just like the bloodthirsty demon. These news made me very scared, Oh, Roland, it would be great if you were by my side.'
"Red Eagle Army? Refugees fleeing from the north? The situation is getting worse and worse."
This news made Roland very uneasy. The guardian power of Green Leaf Manor was enough to deal with traitors, but it was absolutely impossible to deal with the established army.
Although the Red Eagle Army is still raging in the north for the time being, they have a very bad head. No one can say that a general in the south has a hot head and has also begun to rebel.
If a rebel really appears, the wealthy family located in the suburbs will be the best target for the rebels' looting.
Roland suppressed his anxiety and continued to read.
‘Uncle said, it’s very unsafe outside now, so I’m not allowed to go out. Actually, I dare not. But even if I stay in the manor, I feel very uneasy. I am worried about my uncle’s safety, and I am worried that the bandits will come to the manor to rob while my uncle goes to work in the city. I am also worried about the servants. On several occasions, I heard them whispering in the corner, and the look at me was very wrong.”
From these descriptions, Roland only saw 8 words: "The order collapses and the hearts of people are floating." In this case, any bad thing can happen.
Roland felt that he could not sit idly by. If something happened to Lily, it would be useless for him to regret it any more.
He has to do something!
But before he finished reading the letter, he continued to read it.
‘Of course, there is also good news. The Duke was kind to his uncle and arranged a team of elite guards for him. There were 20 people, each of them were powerful soldiers and a powerful sergeant. They escorted his uncle to and from get off work every day, and stationed in the manor at night to act as escorts. This made me feel a little relieved.”
This was indeed good news, and Roland breathed a sigh of relief.
With this group of elite warriors and the mentor is a high-level mage, the defense of Green Leaf Manor is very stable. Even if the rebels come, they should not dare to provoke them easily.
After reading the letter, Roland discovered that the last date of the letter was 11 days ago.
In other words, this letter took 11 days on the road, which is completely different from the speed of the expedited letter that I arrived the next day.
‘It seems that Turin City is indeed not peaceful, and sending letters has become so slow. Perhaps, there are still many letters that are lost.’
Roland suddenly realized that his connection with Green Leaf Manor had become very weak, and he could not even know the current situation of the manor in time. According to this situation, if something happened to Green Leaf Manor one day, he would probably have to ten days and half a month to get the news.
He had to improve this.
How to improve it?
Roland kept thinking about this issue afterwards.
Because of distraction, he seemed a little absent-minded when practicing the piano, and the body he pulled out was naturally a little unpleasant.
At 4 pm, Dandilaya came to check the results as usual. After listening for a while, she couldn't help it: "Roland, what are you pulling?!"
Roland was stunned: "Ah...oh~sorry, I'm distracted."
He tried hard to concentrate and continued to pull.
This time it got better, but after a while, it started to get out of tune again.
"stop!"
Dandilaya screamed and stared at Roland: "You have something to worry about today?"
Green Leaf Manor is his personal matter. Roland didn't want to say it at first, but then he thought that Dandilaya was a great wizard with a noble status. If she was willing to take care of her, then Lily's safety would be greatly guaranteed.
‘Yes, why did I forget Dandilaya?!’
So he said the truth: "I have something to worry about."
"Let's hear it," said Dandilaya.
Roland briefly said Lily's letter, and at the end, he looked distressed: "My beloved girl is worried every day, and lives in danger, but I can only stay in this small room and practice this damn violin!"
Dandyraya curled the corners of her lips and looked at Roland up and down: "My beloved girl? Are Glenmay all the people who are now so precocious?"
Roland was a little annoyed by her seeing it: "Master, please don't ridicule me. I'm just annoyed."
Dandilaya smiled: "Okay, OK, I think it's a big deal. Don't worry, little thing, Turin City cannot be in chaos. The Red Eagle Army in the north will not be long, Guangling's combat mage army has already passed and suppressed it. Within a month, the Red Eagle Army will be destroyed."
"But there are bandits everywhere in the outskirts of Turin..."
"I have also accepted some disciples over the years. Many of them have been promoted to high-level mages. I will write them a letter to ask them to take care of the Green Leaf Manor, okay?"
Roland scratched his head and said carefully: "Master, why don't you help me get Lily to the academy?"
Dandilaya refused without thinking: "No!"
Roland was stunned: "Uh~Why?"
Dandylaya glanced at Roland and smiled faintly, "Your age is the time when you have the best health and the strongest desires. At this time, put a young girl next to you, how can you have the heart to practice the piano?"
Seeing that Roland was unhappy, Dandy Laya said again: "I promise that Lily will be safe. No one dares to touch a hair of her, okay?"
"Not enough. What guarantee do you have when you are in the academy?"
"Okay, I'll write to my disciples now. My disciple is a high-level wizard, with a honest personality and not very old. I'm just 45 and full of energy. I'll let him go to the Green Leaf Manor to guard himself, okay?"
This method is naturally good, but Roland is still a little worried: "That's so sorry. This is too troublesome. Will he be resistant?"
"Do you think I will send him for nothing? As long as I promise to provide him with a few milliliters of water of life, he will rush over overnight."
Now Roland was really relieved. With the protection of a high-level mage, Lily was basically safe.
"Thank you very much for your protection, Master."
"Well, you can concentrate on practicing, I'll make arrangements now."
After saying that, Dandilaya got up and left.
Roland was gone, so he put away his distracting thoughts and began to focus on practicing the piano.
This time, this violin not only concerns whether he can learn magic, but also Lily's safety, so he cannot help but lose his attention.
Two more weeks have passed since this practice
At this time, Roland had already practiced Agnan's water shield technique into instinct, and his violin level increased a lot, and he could play one or two medium-difficulty songs.
In this way, Roland has three legal spells mastered, namely the low-level spells, namely the Aron impact technique, the Frost Spiral Arrow, and the intermediate-level spell is the Agnan Water Shield technique.
It is worth mentioning that this month, Alva has been very honest and has not caused any trouble, and the academy is also very calm.
In the early morning of that day, Roland woke up as usual and began to meditate.
But for some reason, this time he always had mixed thoughts in his mind, and his body's magic power was running around, like a lively rabbit, which was difficult to control.
After struggling for more than half an hour, Roland still couldn't enter the meditation state.
He sat up frantically and scratched his head hard: "What's wrong with this today?"
This has been happening during this period, but it is particularly serious today.
Sitting on the bed and being stunned, Roland continued to try.
After another half an hour of hard work, Roland finally calmed down the thoughts in his mind, and his thoughts entered the ethereal realm and began to enter a perfect meditation state.
Usually, as long as Roland entered this state, he would never wake up unless he felt danger, and he would not feel the passage of time.
But this time, the situation is different.
Roland felt that his body seemed to be soaked in ice water, and waves of cold breath rushed into his body quickly, completely uncontrollable.
After a while, Roland found that he seemed to have lost his perception of his body, his whole body was numb, and the cold breath continued to pour into his body, faster and faster, almost completely submerging him.
‘Hu~~Hu~~~’
Roland felt a sense of suffocation. He instinctively gasped, but for some reason, the chest tightness became stronger and stronger, and no matter how much he inhaled, he could not relieve it.
What's even more terrifying is that he knew that this situation was wrong, but he could never withdraw from the meditation state. He seemed to be experiencing a terrible nightmare!
What's strange is that although his body was numb and unable to move, Roland's spirit became stronger and stronger, and his perception of his body became clearer and clearer.
He clearly felt that his body was collapsing. If he did not stop this trend, his body would be completely scrapped in only 5 minutes at most.
If the body is destroyed and the spirit is lost, the collapse will only take an instant.
Chapter completed!
