After shopping, Roland saw the atmosphere was amicable and tentatively asked:
"Mr. Sura, when I went to see Master Anthony earlier, I chose to take the spiral staircase. I heard it was over three thousand meters to reach the top. I'm curious, how is that done? Is it space magic?"
"Space magic?"
Sura shook his head wistfully, his eyes filled with a touch of melancholy. "When the Magic Empire was still around, there were indeed people who could use space magic to fit a distance of over three thousand meters within a small building. But now, it's not possible."
"Anthony's strength is roughly equivalent to a Tier Seven Transcendent, yet he's already a top expert in the Association. Not only has magic declined, you Barbarians..."
Sura was aware of the guy called Barbarian sitting opposite him and promptly corrected himself, saying, "Apologies, the term Barbarian is a habit of speech, not aimed at you."
Roland understood, it wasn't targeted at him, but equally at every Barbarian.
