Chapter 236 - Feeling Uncomfortable All (2/2)
Received 784 EXP. The fondness of royal forces decreased to -10.
Wait… Roland felt that something was wrong. It was still incomplete before, and the two of them were just walking at a slow pace. They hadn’t walked for much distance at all, so there couldn’t possibly be the idea of reaching a safe area.
Could it be that the so-called safety didn’t refer to certain places or locations, but to Andonara’s perception?
Only when she felt that she was safe would the quest be considered complete?
Peace of mind is home?
Roland wasn’t sure if he should be happy… He had Andonara’s trust, which was really the main factor in completing the quest.
But that trust gave him a sense of burden.
To be honest, he kind of didn’t want to carry it.
However, now that it had come to this, he would just have to carry it.
He sighed long and deeply in his heart, and looked to the sky. There were no stars around the silvery crescent moon, it looked very lonely, coupled with the sound of the night wind that whistled from time to time. All of a sudden, Roland actually had the illusion that life was as bleak as snow.
After a moment of sighing, Roland looked down at Andonara and said, “Next, I’m going to get revenge for Kaka, and I’m going to have to fight the a.s.sociation headquarters, so…”
“Yes, I’ll help you kill them,” Andonara said without hesitation.
Roland wore a bitter expression. “No, I was going to say, why don’t you go to Delpon by yourself first?”
Roland wasn’t worried about Andonara’s safety. It was unclear in other countries, but a Master-level Great Swordsman in the Kingdom of Hollevin was probably the ceiling of combat power. Her safety on the journey shouldn’t be a concern; what should be a concern was the stream of robbers who’d dare to treat her unkindly.
However, unexpectedly, Andonara shook her head gently. “No, I’ll follow you into action. Whoever you want to kill, I’ll cut them down for you.”
“This is the capital, and if the royal family sees that you haven’t left and is following a man, they’ll probably go crazy, and then we’ll have to face two enemies.”
“I can mask my face and disguise myself,” Andonara said hastily, “and I will never cause you any trouble.”
Roland was tempted to say that her following him was already quite a problematic matter.
But then Andonara’s expression became a little panicked and worried, and she looked so pitiful that he just couldn’t say the words.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Fine, multiple strong combatants will be good for us.”
“You’re too kind.” Andonara smiled and came over to put her arms around Roland.
It was at this moment that a red dragon flew over them. Under the moonlight, the red dragon’s wings spread out, appearing immense.
Andonara instinctively stood in front of Roland, her expression nervous. “It’s actually a dragon, and a red dragon at that. Roland, let’s hide first.”
As she spoke, she tugged on Roland’s arm, about to go hide in the woods.
Roland shook his head. “This is my friend, he’s a Dragon Knight.”
Andonara stopped and she looked surprised.
Dragon Knight… that t.i.tle hadn’t existed for over a hundred years.
The red dragon swooped down about ten meters above them.
The strong currents of air could almost blow people away, and on the back of the dragon, Schuck twisted around to look back, while waving at Roland.
His handsome face in the moonlight was as if a G.o.d had descended.
Andonara gathered her long hair, which had been disheveled by the strong wind, a look of disgust on her face. “Your friend is so handsome that it makes me uncomfortable.”
