Chapter 220 - Ah, Women (2/2)

Then he placed a parchment book in front of Roland. “This is the information and model of Long-Distance Teleportation you wanted to see. I applied to the headquarters at noon to borrow it for the day.”

Roland’s eyes lit up. He immediately found a clean table beside him and slowly opened the single-sheet parchment book into a giant piece of parchment. Then, he turned on the system’s photo function and took pictures of the densely packed nodes on it.

About five minutes later, he closed the parchment back up and handed it to Kaka.

Kaka smiled drunkenly and placed the spellbook in his garment pocket.

They drank for another half-hour, and Kaka’s vision had become quite blurry. Kaka bobbed his head and said, “Roland, I know you will become a legendary Mage someday. Others may fall midway, but you Golden Sons are different, you are immortal, and the only thing that limits your growth cap is your self-control. And you are one of the hardest working Mages I’ve ever met.”

Roland nodded; he also felt he was quite diligent. It wasn’t self-glorification, but an objective fact, and he wasn’t guilty of admitting it.

“I don’t know if you’ll still recognize me as a friend after you become a legend.”

Roland reached out and patted Kaka’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I will. I, Roland am not the kind of person who forgets his poor friends when he gets rich.”

Kaka laughed softly and happily and didn’t say another word; the impending parting made him a little upset.

To Roland, Kaka was also a friend, and parting was not something that was too hard to bear. After all, now that Long-Distance Teleportation was already in hand, as long as he studied it diligently, he could learn it in a short period of one or two months, or half a year.

Once he learned it, he would be able to teleport everywhere and wander around, and it would only be a small matter to come to the capital, so there was no need to be sorrowful now.

He parted with Kaka at the tavern.

Roland walked to Princess Veronica’s manor. He planned to take Mijil to Delpon, which was his own territory, and at the Magic Tower, Mijil could be well taken care of and also learn magic, killing two birds with one stone.

But on the way, Roland met Antis, who was patrolling with a group of soldiers.

Upon seeing Roland, Antis nodded at Roland, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something

Roland waved to him in greeting.

Antis hesitated, shook his head, and said no more, leaving with the patrol.

“Something about him seems strange.” Roland frowned but didn’t think much of it.

He soon arrived at Veronica’s manor and met this Princess Taiping[1].At this time, Veronica had changed into a gown, appearing very dainty and lovely, and had emerald earrings pinned to her ears, as if she were going to attend some kind of party. “I’m here to pick up Mijil.”

Veronica looked at Roland with some surprise. “I thought it would be for a month, it’s only been a day.”

“Things have gone awry.” Roland shrugged.

“Suit yourself.” Veronica smiled indifferently. “Any interest in coming to the party with me?”

“I have to get back.”

Veronica wore an expression as if she were looking at an idiot. “Are you unable to understand the subtext of a lady’s words?”

“You simply want me to be your male companion and help you block pursuers,” Roland sneered. “Not interested.”
