Chapter 218 - The Queen? (2/2)

This was the mindset Veronica had right now.

When Roland used the miaodao just now, it was obviously quite methodical, and it could be seen that it was a fairly mature system of sword arts, so she was naturally excited to try it.

Roland, on the other hand, felt that it was too good a deal to trade the miaodao arts for a type of magic.

“I’ll trade. I’m willing to pay for any magic that I haven’t learned, and if you have any other magic books, Your Highness, you can trade them.”

Roland now had over three hundred gold coins in his Backpack.

His current possessions were already comparable to a mid-level n.o.ble family—a rich man could speak with confidence.

“I only have that one, magic book trophies are rare.” Veronica was also quite happy.

Roland spent the next half a day at the manor, drawing models of miaodao stances before teaching Veronica how to stand and move with the saber.

Veronica learned quickly; after all, she was a Warrior and had a foundation to build on.

In just half a day’s time, she had become more proficient in the movements of the miaodao arts.

After Roland left the manor, Veronica said to the steward, “Help me build six of the same weapons according to the model on this piece of paper and send them over. Then send this little girl to the guest area and leave her in Ashe’s care. Don’t neglect her, understand?”

The steward received his orders and left.

Veronica, on the other hand, drew her broadsword from the side and brandished a set of stances with this weapon instead of the miaodao for the time being.

After brandis.h.i.+ng, she murmured, “Strength and agility in equal measure… it seems like a battlefield sword art, but it’s also not bad in a solo fight. How does a Mage know how to use a sword art like this?”

I’ll ask him about it the next time I see him.

Roland put the magic book in his Backpack and walked out of the princess’s manor and then to Kaka’s manor—and just in time to b.u.mp into Kaka’s second brother, Felwood, as he was leaving, his expression full of displeasure.

Before he left, he gave Roland a hateful stare but didn’t say anything harsh. Instead, he just left in a carriage.

Two minutes later, Roland appeared in Kaka’s study.

When Kaka saw him and didn’t find Mijil next to him, his expression suddenly became one of great surprise. “You really won against Veronica, without resorting to offensive spells?”

Roland sat down. “The princess held back.”

“I don’t believe it. How could I not know her personality?” Kaka shook his head, then he smiled lewdly. “I can’t believe you didn’t make that kind of request since you won against Veronica. She’s one of the most beautiful amongst the young n.o.blewomen.”

“I’m not that h.o.r.n.y.” Roland sighed, then asked, “I saw your second brother just now, what’s the situation?”

Kaka wore an extremely dissatisfied expression. “He’s forcing me to take up my post in the field right now, his att.i.tude is very unfriendly. Obviously Big Brother is on my side—what’s his hurry? It’s not like I’m stealing the family fortune from him.”

Roland laughed. He didn’t want to pay too much attention to other people’s family affairs; he simply asked to make conversation. He thought about it, reclining in the chair, and asked, “Are you confident in the matter of the derivative magic being turned over to the a.s.sociation?”

“I’ve sent someone to inform the headquarters’ chairman, and he replied that a review meeting will be held tomorrow morning.” With that said, Kaka’s expression grew visibly excited.

“I wish you success.”

Roland was about to say more blessings, but he suddenly frowned.

A picture came from the magic spider of Antis finding a woman in a secret pa.s.sage in the dark.
