Roll Land System: Release That Rock - Chapter 8

“Roll-land system… do you have a grudge against me or something? Why are all your rewards so pitiful and useless? You let me speak but not in human tongue.” Rocky was in mourning.

Seemingly in response to the complaint, the Roll-land system sounded, “The Roll-land system has been upgraded. Reward: Physical evolution.”

Rocky felt a headache going on, “I don’t even wanna try your stupid evolu-”

Standing in front of the wall under construction, Roland held Rocky up to show Anna. Roland’s eyes were wide open, “The rock is glowing? Do you know what this is?”

Anna shook her head and gestured back to Roland’s castle, “Perhaps Nightingale would know. This is brand new to me too. I have never heard of a rock that seemed to have magical powers.”

Roland tossed Rocky to Anna like a hot potato. At this moment, Rocky was glowing white and was giving off intense heat. Anna caught Rocky like the heat permeating from him was nothing. She pinched Rocky and squinted at him.

After about half a minute, Rocky cooled down rapidly and the bright glow dissipated. What remained was a pure white stone. Anna exclaimed, “This is-”

Roland finished off her sentence for her and gasped, “Marble. I thought this stone wasn’t ordinary. Now I know it’s true.”

Anna glanced at the hole in the wall and asked, “Are we still placing him in the wall to serve as bait during the months of demons? Now that we know its special its likely that demons will be attracted to it.”

Roland used his hand to prop up his chin in deep contemplation, “Is there a way to get back a large, live demon yet?”

Anna shook her head and said, “I don’t think so. Perhaps we should ask Barov or Carter to be sure though.”

Roland nodded and took back Rocky from Anna’s grasp, “Let’s bring Rocky back to the castle first. If we could find a larger demon then we could find out its function.”

To all this, Rocky had no idea what was occurring. After the system was upgraded, Rocky is undergoing a more powerful evolution. Right now, he is still in a comatose state.

Tossing Rocky back and forth between his hands like a baseball, Roland returned to his castle with Anna. On the way, many of the citizens and nobles bowed as they passed by and gazed curiously at Roland. Their gaze seemed to be asking, “Why is His Highness playing with the marble like a toy?”

The nobles gave slightly disdainful gazes at Roland thinking, “Is this what his Highness fancies?”

After Roland passed by, one of them smirked and told the other nobles, “It seems prince Roland likes rocks. I heard he is organizing another feast of some sorts. Should we gift him a few dozen carts worth? It would be a hilarious sight to see for sure.”
