He must have been tricked. Seeing Beatrice struggling to carry the bag and following behind him step by step, Roland felt extremely uncomfortable.
If it were any other man, he would probably be grinning happily at this time.
But Roland was not in such a mood.
Let's not talk about personal preferences, whether the widow is beautiful or not.
There are already Andonara and Vivian at home.
It was great luck that the two women could get along harmoniously. If he really brought another woman back, no matter how gentle Andonara was, she would not be a genius.
Therefore, Roland has no intention of actually accepting Beatrice, but it is still possible to take her to a safe place.
After walking for a while, Roland left the Magic Association and walked around the streets with Beatrice for a long time. With the help of his spiritual power, after making sure that no one was following him, Roland took her to the woods outside the princess's manor.
Then use magic to sink into the ground, find the passage, and walk directly back to the underground library.
Beatrice was a little frightened when she suddenly entered the ground. Her hands holding the money bag were numb and sore, but she did not cry out in pain.
When Roland took her to the library, Andonara heard footsteps and knew that Roland was back.
Then she saw Beatrice behind Roland, but she didn't have any special strange expression. Instead, she stepped forward with a smile and helped Beatrice carry the money bag.
Beatrice looked at Andonara with some worry, and then looked at the money bag in her hand, feeling a little worried.
She was worried that this woman would take away the money that belonged to her and Roland.
"What's the situation outside?" Andonara asked.
The eldest princess Stephanie, who was sitting in the corner to rest, also cast her gaze over.
At this time, Beatrice finally saw Stephanie. She covered her mouth in surprise: "Princess, why are you here?"
"Are you Beatrice?" Stephanie was a little surprised: "Why are you following Roland?"
Beatrice would attend most of the parties held by Stephanie.
Over time, the two got to know each other, but they were not familiar with each other. After all, the identity gap was quite large.
Beatrice's eyes turned red when she mentioned this.
Stephanie looked at Roland with suspicion, because no matter how she looked at the situation, it seemed that Roland had done something.
Only Andonara remained unmoved.
Having been with Roland for so long, she already knew what kind of man Roland was.
Even a woman as beautiful as herself, with such a good figure, and so gentle, had to stalk her for nearly a year before she got Roland's affection.
A woman who appeared out of nowhere, how could Roland be interested in her.
This is Andonara's confidence.
Beatrice walked up to Stephanie, bowed slightly first, then sat down cross-legged, wiping her tears and told her the story.
After listening, Stephanie sighed: "Indeed, if you just return to Dronva County, you will probably be made into a pottery figurine."
Then she looked at Roland: "You already have Andonara, or let Beatrice follow me."
She felt it was for Beatrice.
But Beatrice shook her head vigorously: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess, but I would rather follow Roland."
Although Beatrice is not too smart, she knows how to live.
Know how to read a man.
Following the eldest princess can indeed provide you with safety for a period of time, but what about the future! After a long time, he will be 'sent' away by the eldest princess. At that time, it is not up to him to decide what kind of man he meets.
But unlike Roland, she could tell from just a few hours of getting along that Roland was a good man.
Many times, whether a man is good or not can be seen from his expression and details.
There was no evil desire in Roland's eyes, and he respected himself very much.
Although he is not handsome, his mysterious and leisurely temperament that only a magician has can really add a lot of points.
Such a man is rare.
In other words, given her conditions, it is difficult to meet her.
Fate had hit her, so she couldn't just let it go.
Otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Beatrice thinks so.
Stephanie was a little dissatisfied when she saw that even Beatrice rejected her and was as enamored with Roland as Andonara.
But she quickly threw away this little thought and asked: "Continuing the topic just now, how is the situation outside?"
Roland shook his head: "I'm not sure. The Magic Association doesn't want to investigate, or they don't have the motivation to investigate. There is no movement at the palace, and my friend Shuke is now pulling a team and running around like headless flies. Several There seems to be a special tacit understanding between the forces."
"What kind of tacit understanding can there be? My father told me before that this is a personal test for me. They gave my father a little face, so everyone is standing still."
Roland sighed and said: "So, it is not good to have too many children. Family love is limited, and it will be less if it is divided equally among everyone. Your daughter's life or death is uncertain, and you actually regard it as a test for you."
"If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight." Stephanie put her intact left leg away, then bent over and rested her cheek on it, holding her knees with both hands. This made her look weak: " Although I am already semi-confirmed, in order to become the queen, I must have some deeds that are justifiable."
Do everyone in the royal family take this situation for granted
Roland suddenly felt that the eldest princess seemed a little pitiful.
Then he almost laughed out loud. Why would he, an ordinary person, sympathize with a royal family
This is just like a beggar worrying that the richest man will soon become poor if he spends his money frivolously.
ridiculous!
At this time, a system message suddenly came. When I opened it, I saw that someone was @himself in the guild chat room.
Shuke: Roland, come to the Moonstone Tavern to meet. I want to talk to you about something. Come alone.
Roland: Right there.
After sending the message, Roland told Andonara and the other three that he had something to go out for.
Then under the somewhat reluctant eyes of the three of them, Roland teleported away.
Moonstone Tavern.
There are still the same seats, the same people, and even the scene of Shu Ke being courted by the female bartenders is almost exactly the same.
Roland sat in front of Shuke and asked, "Did you find anything in calling me out in such a hurry?"
"Indeed." Shuke smiled and said, "I heard that not long after my colleagues left Menon, he died, and then you took the blame."
"It seems that you are quite knowledgeable."
Shuke shook his head: "That's because I sent people to monitor Menon all the time."
"Why?" Roland was a little surprised.
He saw Menon mentioned in the Magic Experience Book, and then Menon's ideas were circled with a pen, so he thought of asking Menon what he had discovered.
As a result, Menon died within three minutes of meeting him.
He went to Menon because he had a clue. Why did Shuke want to inquire and monitor this person
Seemingly seeing the doubt on Roland's face, Shuke smiled and said: "We are paladins of the Light Religion and have a keen sense of dark magic. Menon once received dark magic. He was in our special room early in the morning. List people.”
I see!
"After Menon's death, we discovered that there was a faint burst of dark magic in the royal city. It should be a curse remotely activated by someone, which caused Menon's death." Shuke explained: "But the other party's methods are very good, we simply can't. The exact source of dark magic power has not been found.”
"In other words, you still don't know the true identity of the enemy!"
Shuke shook his head: "It's true that we can't find it. The enemy is very clever. But we are not completely without gains. According to what our intelligence personnel know, the ice curse is not something that ordinary people can use. It seems that only lichs or inhumans can use it." Only dark creatures can be cast."
"You mean, there is a dark magic monster hidden in the royal city?"
"Yes, that's what I think." Shuke sang the fruit wine: "Whether he is a human or not, if he can curse with ice, he is a monster. I don't tell you to be careful, the player will not die, but the people around you must pay attention After all, once they die, it is almost impossible to resurrect them unconditionally."
Understood.
Then Roland and Shuke chatted for a long time, and finally Margaret suddenly appeared and pulled the latter away.
Xiao Longnu was very strong. Although she was less than 1.5 meters tall and her body looked weak, she could pull Shu Ke as easily as she was pulling a rag doll.
Roland went home by himself, but when he walked out of the Moonstone Tavern, a white bird suddenly hovered above his head.
"Follow me."
A familiar female voice came into consciousness, and then the white bird flew out of the city.
After being stunned for a moment, Roland immediately followed up with the Human Cannon combo.
After a while, Roland followed the bird to a large forest, flew to the middle, and suddenly a pull brought him down to the ground.
More than thirty seconds later, Roland got his feet on the ground, and then he saw that the surrounding environment had become very strange. There were clear green plants everywhere, and the vitality of these plants seemed to have become very strong.
Before Roland could start to study why these plants had such strong vitality, a green light fell from the sky.
Nia, who spread her wings and wore a white robe, slowly descended from the air.
After landing on the ground, she took the initiative to wave and greet Roland: "Long time no see, Roland."
"It is indeed you, Ms. Nia."
Roland smiled, not seeing her for a while, Nia's mind seemed to have grown a little more.
Do angels always have a developmental stage
Nia jumped up to Roland, her wings behind her had been temporarily retracted: "It is indeed right to give you the task of defeating Pan. I didn't expect that you would touch the edge of his clothes so quickly."
Roland was slightly startled: "Isn't the deadline of this mission ten years?"
"But if there is a clue in front of you, will you complete it or not?" Nia narrowed her eyes and smiled, seeming a little naughty.
"What clue?"
"Because this is the Sanctuary of Light, it is impossible for me to use my mental power to scan the entire city. If I do this, the Light Cult may fight with our Life Cult." Nia snorted and put her hands on her hips: " But I’m very powerful, I already know where that dark creature is probably, in the north of the city.”
The north of the city, isn't that the territory of the Holy Land of Light
Roland seemed to have a headache. If Nia's eyes weren't really pure and beautiful, Roland would have suspected that Nia wanted to cause trouble and harm him.
Going to the Holy Land of Light to find dark creatures is equivalent to combing a bald man's hair.
People will get mad.
