It was a piece of shocking news in Delpon that Bard stayed in the Magic Tower.
He was born in a family of grand nobles from the capital, and he was a sorcerer himself. Yet, he chose to learn under Roland?
That was very interesting.
As a result, Roland's guidance was further endorsed.
Roland was famous to begin with. Having blown up a city gate and a castle gate with his fireballs, he was the well-acknowledged best Mage in Delpon even when Aldo was still in town, and he was even more so now that Aldo was gone.
However, the people in Delpon never really knew exactly how strong Roland was even though they knew he was strong.
After all, all spellcasters were strong to the small folk.
It was indeed impressive to blow up a city gate, but it didn't sound as awesome as the fiery meteors that could wipe out a country, cast by legends or demigods.
So, people felt complicated about Roland.
