Chapter 972 (1/2)
After leaving the Dream World, Roland still felt the cold on his back
Nightingale was bending over the desk while chewing snacks Seeing him wake up, she instantly dashed to the couch and asked, ”Are you all right? Is there anything wrong in that world?”
He felt relieved seeing the concerned look on a familiar face It reminded him that he had already left the dreadful alien world He exhaled and forced a s, ”No I just had some new discoveries”
She looked at him incredulously ”Really? You look pale” She touched his forehead before adding, ”Look you're even sweating”
Hearing that, Roland realized that the coldness on his back was due to his sweaty shi+rt
”You know I didn't lie It was just a dream after all”
But now, he was not as confident about this stately complicated and more like a real world
”I don't know,” said Nightingale Her mouth twitched
”What?” said Roland in surprise
”I need to use my ability to discern the truth from a lie,” she said with her hands laid out ”Now, you're not just the king of Graycastle but also the leader of the ancient witches of Taquila as well as Sleeping Spell Even the Kingdom of Dawn is under your control You aren't an ordinary lord anymore and will naturally haveabout you you wouldn't feel comfortable around me anymore” She paused ”You wouldn't like a person who could always look through, would you?”
Nightingale turned her head away to evade his eyes Looking at her, he could not help but chuckle All his mental stress had disappeared
He ell aware of what she thought
Most lords did not want their followers or servants to know too uous attitude and enjoyed being a little unpredictable If a person knew the lord they served too well, they would often not ale are that Roland was not such a cruel lord, she was still afraid that he would alienate himself from her when his power increased
”What's so funny?” she asked whilst feeling aggrieved After having several bites of her dried fish, she added, ”I was really worried about you getting into trouble in that world”
”Aheht face said, ”Indeed, nobody wants other people to peer into their mind, not to mention a powerful ruler” He paused deliberately before continuing ”But you aren't included in 'these other people'”
Roland did not want to beco
Having read about the ups and downs of many dynasties in history, he was sure of what he really wanted presently
He needed a group of truly trustworthy people to help hi
”What?” exclaiale
”If you hadn't come to Border Town, I would've been killed by the o,” explained Roland slowly ”When the Battle of Divine Will starts, the situation will becoerous for do to be very busy and I'll be heavily relying on you How could I not treat you differently?”
Roland found that he sometimes really liked the siirl in the world he previously lived, she would probably roll her eyes and think that he was just trying to deceive her with sords
”Besides, the most terrible lie isn't some plausible statement I may use to deceive others, but a lie I tell myself With you around, I'll never have to worry about this problem”
Nightingale tilted her head andyourself”
”Of course you can You're able to determine the credibility of a statement, aren't you? Like, 30 of a statement wasn't accurate or reliable, or alternatively, the whole stateht lie”
”Well, yes, I can do that based on the feedback froic power”
”Then, when I announce a decision I'ardless of how confident I appear to be Deludingdecision will douncertain about it When you notice iveirreversible mistakes,” said Roland with his hands laid out ”Now do you see how important your job is?”
