Roland really didn’t think that Aldo would actually know what it was .

Honestly, he wondered at first if it could possibly be the doodle of some bored artist .

“A magic array?” Roland was stunned . He had recently read many of the books in the Magic Tower’s collection, and he hadn’t seen any book mentioning this at all .

Aldo laughed meaningfully and said, “Do you think that the noble’s monopoly on knowledge means spell models? There are others . ”

Roland sat down, a yearning look on his face .

“Enchantment and scroll-making, you should have seen these two things in books!”

Roland nodded .

“These two techniques are used by the advanced subclasses of mages, and they are quite difficult to learn . But the true unheralded secret is the magic array . ”

Roland frowned . “Magic array… what kind of thing is it?”

“It is not just a thing . It’s one of those advanced techniques that can only be approached when magic theory is perfected to its extreme . ” Aldo had an enchanted expression . “When you can learn magic arrays, it already means that you are at least close to a Legendary spellcaster, and there’s more to magic arrays than just the achievement of magic theory: they’re versatile and have a variety of functions . ”

Roland said, “Can you give me an example?”

“Underneath the royal palace in Fareins, there is a huge magic array that can be activated directly in times of war, creating a powerful magical boundary that envelops the entire city . It’s said to be able to withstand the full force of at least two Demigod level elites . ” Aldo looked up at the ceiling with a yearning expression . “That magic array is the work of Demigod Duncan . Do you know about Duncan’s past achievements?”

Roland shook his head .

“Duncan is a genius in the world of magic . He personally invented a lot of magic, such as Magic Missiles, Lightning Palms, Giant Sonic Wave, Acid Splash, and so on . It’s safe to say that at least a third of the magic we use is his work . ”

Roland gasped in astonishment .

Aldo stood up and continued, “Evaluating how respected a mage is is not how powerful the magic he uses is, but rather whether he can master enchantment, magic scroll-making, or magic arrays . ”

Roland’s gaze was set on Aldo . “So do you know magic arrays, Chairman?”

“Don’t speak of magic arrays, I haven’t even figured out what the deal with enchantment is . That’s why I’m a pawn that couldn’t be more ordinary and ended up in the grasps of the headquarters, unable to move forward . ”

Roland asked curiously, “So where can I learn all this stuff—the headquarters?”

“The Magic Tower!”

“Magic Towers in other cities?”

“Not a Magic Tower in the literal sense, but a hidden organization . ” Aldo explained, “A group of powerful mages who specialize in evocation got together and created a hidden organization called the Red Magic Tower . After that, the other types of mages followed suit and created something like the White Magic Tower, the Gray Magic Tower, the Yellow Magic Tower, and so on . ”

Roland chuckled . “Naming your organization after colors? Quite capricious . ”

Aldo shrugged agreeably . “These Magic Towers are hidden away and are invite-only Until you’re strong enough to be exposed to that level, they’ll send an auditor out to quietly investigate you, and when they think you’re capable enough to be a member, that’s when they’ll show up in front of you . ”

“So mysterious?”

Aldo felt quite happy to pass on his knowledge . “Although the headquarters in Hollevin is very domineering and looks very powerful, it is simply childish compared to the major Magic Towers . ”

Roland sighed . “Looks like I’ll have to find time to learn some enchantment magic . ”

“Before that, you’re going to have to learn Summon Magic Pet . ”

“Huh? What’s this now?”

“After reaching the Elite level, a mage can contract an animal to become a magic pet . ” Aldo turned around, pulled out a series of books from his bookcase, and solemnly handed one over to Roland . “These are my spellcasting tips, it contains the spell model for Summon Magic Pet . Take it . ”

Roland took the book and looked at Aldo silently for a moment, then suddenly said, “Chairman, are you planning to leave?”

Aldo froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly . “You can tell?”

“Intuition . ”

Aldo sighed dejectedly as he sat back in his chair again and said slowly, “You’ve done a major thing in the past few days, even killing off John Senior . I’m truly impressed . ”

“Did this give you trouble?”

Aldo waved his hand . “That’s not it . It’s just that watching you guys act so recklessly, I’ve suddenly figured something out . I’m still young, I still have a lot of time left in my life, so why should I waste my time here with the headquarters-can’t I go to other countries? Mages are rare everywhere, and even if I don’t get along well, it’s much better than being pinched like a rat by the headquarters . That’s why I plan to leave secretly in a few days . ”

Roland was silent for a moment, then smiled . “I didn’t hear anything just now . ”

Chuckling, Aldo stood up and patted Roland’s shoulder . “You’re an impressive kid-not to mention your talent, your emotional intelligence isn’t low either . You can definitely become a big shot in the future . ”

“Forget about being a big shot . I’m only interested in magic right now . ” Roland looked around . “Since you know how to Summon Magic Pet, then where is your magic pet, Chairman?”

“It’s gone, it was killed by the people from the headquarters . ” Aldo’s eyes had an indistinct look of hatred and anger . “Each mage can only contract one magic pet in his life—you see what I mean . ”

Roland sighed . “It’s like killing one’s kin . ”

“So no matter what, my feud with the headquarters will never go away . ” Aldo laughed dryly .

eve

Roland didn’t say anything; he didn’t know what to say . If he offered consolation, it would make Aldo seem weak, and if he didn’t offer consolation, it would make himself seem a bit cold .

no

However, Aldo’s expression quickly became normal . He waved his hand . “All right, you go back first… From now on, the Magic Tower, it’s up to you to look after it . Vivian is also a good girl, so do as you see fit . ”

Roland still had many more questions he wanted to ask, but Aldo was clearly no longer willing to talk more .

After thanking him, Roland returned to the Magic Tower with the book on Summon Magic

Pet .

As soon as he sat down, Vivian carried a glass of freshly squeezed juice over . “Deputy Chairman, you’ve been working outside for a long time, you must be thirsty . ”

Roland looked at Vivian and asked, “Have you heard of magic pets?”

Vivian nodded evenly . “I’ve heard of them, but it’s said that only powerful mages are qualified to contract magic pets . ”

“If you could contract a magic pet, which animal would you choose?”

“Of course, it would be a unicorn . ” Vivian’s eyes sparkled . “I heard that’s the representation only for holy maidens . ”

Roland wore a helpless expression .

Even he, a greenhorn of common sense in the magic world, knew clearly that unicorns were awfully rare, and only occasionally appeared in the territory of the elves .

Actually wanting to contract a unicorn, Vivian’s girlish heart is really quite innocent and unaffected .
