Chapter 250 Is that Rolen?

Chapter 250 Is that Rolen?

Lathel found a lot of books; however, there were two methods to read books in this place.

Either by using contribution points or gold coins. To get contribution points, you need to complete Enchanter Tower missions.

Depending on the rarity of the book, the contribution points you need to pay will be higher.

If you use gold coins, the amount of gold coins you need to pay will be 10 times higher than the contribution points.

Lathel found a book about earth magic. Although this book has a very low rarity, it still requires 10 contribution points to be able to read it.

10 contribution points are equivalent to 100 gold coins. So... if he looks at more advanced books, the amount of gold coins he needs to pay will be very large.

'Looks like… I need to take on some Enchanter Tower quests. Otherwise, I will be poor from reading books.'

'Fortunately, I still have a lot of gold coins left; otherwise, I'm afraid I can only look at a few books.'

Lathel felt lucky in his heart and began to choose more books.

In the end, for each element he owned, he chose a 'general information' book.

Besides that, he also rented a book about his profession called 'Advanced Sculptor'.

The total value he needed to spend was more than 7,000 gold coins. Although for Lathel, this amount of gold coins was not large, the one thing that makes him uncomfortable is that the books in this place cannot be taken home; they can only be viewed at the library.

That also means that next time, if he wants to review these books, he needs to continue paying.

Lathel silently cursed in his heart: 'Who the hell created this book rental system? A Capitalist?'

…

"Achoo!" At Laleth Garden, Amleth suddenly sneezed, frowned, and immediately thought of Lathel: 'Ah! Is he talking about me?'

'Maybe that's it... After all, he can't resist my beauty. But... why didn't he take the initiative to flirt with me?'

Amleth frowned and thought: 'Lathel... if you don't take the initiative, I will be the one to take the initiative.'

'In your previous life, it was because you lacked patience that it led to that unfortunate thing. However, in this life, I forgive you.'

'Lathel… this time I will be gentle and place you in a place filled with my love.'

'You don't have to look at other girls because I will only allow you to have me in your eyes.'

At this moment, Meryl suddenly came in: "Master, this is today's newspaper."

"Hm?! It's rare for you to report to me, Meryl." Amleth said smiling.

"Master, there is a very interesting article in today's newspaper, I think you will be interested."

Hearing Meryl's words, Amleth picked up the newspaper to read. A moment later, Amleth laughed loudly: "Hahaha… is this the main character? I... looks like your eyes have a bit of a problem. Hahahaha…"

"If the male lead is just a fool like this, then… I want to let my male lead be the main character, he will surely be a hundred times better than this idiot."

"Wait! If Lathel were the male lead, there would be many women surrounding him."

"Not good… then?Alec has to continue being the male lead, that would be better."

Meryl glanced at Amleth, and wondered what she was thinking. It's just that Amleth's eyes carried a bit of strange emotion, then disappeared.

"Meryl, do you know how to win a man's heart?"

"Sorry, master, I've never been in love before, so I don't know."

"Hahahaha…" Amleth laughed loudly: "Very good, your answer makes me very satisfied."

"But… you still didn't get anything from him today?"

"Sorry, Master. The maids at the place where the Young Master lives seem to have noticed something unusual." Meryl bowed her head and said: "If we let our spies act, I'm afraid people will find out immediately."

"It's okay… Have we gathered everything we need?" Amleth seemed unconcerned as she continued to ask.

"It's almost enough; there are still a few items missing. In particular, there is something that only the church has." Meryl bowed her head and said, "But our spies will get it quickly."

"That's good, hahahaha…"

Amleth stood up, walked to the side of the railing, and looked into the distance. This place was the highest place in Lalith Garden, and it was also a place that could help her see almost the entire Karol Empire.

She could even see the Royal Palace in the distance.

"You want to take Lathel from me? You failed in your previous life, so in this life you won't be able to defeat me either."

"Hahahaha…"

"Hahahaha…"

…

Lathel was reading a book when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

'Weird, why do I always feel like something very dangerous is approaching?'

He shook his head to stop thinking about his meaningless thoughts.

Lathel looked at the books that compiled the information. After looking through them, he came to a conclusion about why he could not use the earth element.

He sighed. He felt like he was thinking too much about using magic and forgetting the basic benefits of the elements.

"It seems you have understood something, right?" Cauldron suddenly spoke up.

"Uhm!" Lathel nodded: "Why didn't you remind me? If you could explain it to me, I wouldn't have to come here and waste time reading books."

"But it will be better for you." Cauldron replied: "If you come to me for everything, you will completely depend on me and lose the ability to explore and research."

Lathel was startled when he heard what Cauldron had to say. Cauldron is right, what helps people develop is curiosity, and research.

If everything is available, it will make people lazy.

"You're right. Thanks to reading these books, I have a better understanding of how the elements work." Lathel sighed and said.

"I was too subjective; I thought that as long as I had magical energy, I could use any element I possessed."

"However, to use magic in the best way, it is necessary to rely on the environment."

"The earth element is said to be the weakest magical element because of its heterogeneity and its complete dependence on the environment when using magic."

"That's right." Cauldron explained: "The elements of fire, water, and lightning don't need to be that complicated. You can synthesise and create fire, lightning, and water from the air."

"However, the Earth element is not that simple. To use it, you need to know what type of land you can control easily."

"Besides… in order to control the ground, separating the part of the ground you need to control from the ground is a task that consumes a lot of energy."

"Also, shaping and transforming it into something to attack takes even more time and energy."

"That's also the reason why Earth-type magicians have very low fighting power; no one even wants to work with Earth-type magicians."

"Over time, Earth-type magicians lost their jobs in adventurer teams and ended up becoming construction workers."

After hearing that, Lathel understood how complicated the use of the earth element was.

Just like Cauldron said, even though he possesses the 'Earth' talent, he can't control all types of earth.

For example, if he stands in a place with only hard lava soil, he cannot use low-level earth magic.

But if he uses high-level Earth magic, he needs to spend more energy, and the casting time will also be longer.

In particular, the earth element is different from the sand element. That's why, if he were in the desert, he wouldn't be able to use earth magic.

That is also the reason why, in this world, the earth element is not popular and is considered the weakest element.

Lathel sighed, he didn't know how to overcome this weakness. After all, other magicians had tried for many years but still couldn't do it, and he also didn't think he could do it.

'It seems... using the earth element like in the manga I read is probably impossible.'

He shook his head, picked up the book titled 'Advanced Sculpture', and began reading.

Suddenly, his eyes became brighter, as if he had just found something extremely interesting and wonderful.

Lathel was immersed in this book, and he was completely uninterested in what was going on around him.

"Young master…"

"Ah! Akna, is it time for lunch already?" Lathel heard the sound from behind and immediately smiled in response.

"Sorry for bothering you, Young Master. Do you have any plans this afternoon?"

"Hm… I want to enjoy some of the capital's specialties." Lathel said. After all, he has been coming here for a long time, and he has not tried the capital's specialties.

While in the castle, most of the dishes he ate were quite normal, and most of the dishes everyone ate were cooked by him.

That's why he wanted to try to see if there was any delicious food in this world.

Hearing that, Akna took Lathel out of Enchanter Tower and went to a nearby restaurant to eat.

After he finished eating, he once again got on the carriage and went to the slave auction area.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he was a bit surprised by the scenery here.

"Young master, are you okay?" Akna suddenly spoke up.

Lathel smiled and said: "I was just a little surprised. I thought the slave auction site would be a slum full of unrest and crime."

"I never thought this place would be so luxurious and clean. There's even a team of guards guarding this place."

"That's right." Akna nodded and explained: "After all, this place is a place where nobles often come, so security cannot be neglected."

Lathel nodded. Suddenly, he saw a carriage carrying a cage slowly moving towards the slave detention area.

"Oy! Akna, that girl in the cage is..." Lathel stammered; he felt as if he had seen wrongly.

"Young master, that girl in the cage… is really Rolen."

Lathel: "…"
