Chapter 1223: Lan
Roland was a little surprised to see Lan, although he had somehow predicted that she would come He asked, ”Who are you exactly?”
”A person who needs help,” Lan said while looking around ”I understand you have a lot of questions for me We can sit down and have a chat Let's sit over there by the ”
”Don't we need to go to Room 302?” Roland asked as he watched Lan take the seat
”The reason I asked you to meet me here is to avoid curious ears Since nobody's here, just take a seat you like,” Lan said casually ”By the way, as this is a coffeeshop, can I have an ice coffee?”
”I thought you were disclosing a big secret tosure that nobody will overhear us”
”A secret will only beconizes its value I round every day and do need to take a break froracefully ”One ice coffee, please”
Roland gazed at her for a second and then grumbled, ”I only have instant coffee here”
”That's fine”
Roland was a little frustrated to see Lan act as if she were the owner of the shop He added some milk to the coffee and put two ice cubes in it His eyes were glued to Lan during the whole process
”Rest assured I won't disappear,” Lan said while shrugging
”I don't know about that,” Roland said, his eyes fixed on Lan resolutely ”I once asked Garcia to contact you and went to the Prism City twice, but you vanished Why didn't you talk to me? Why did you just leave me a note?”
Lan lapsed into a short silence before she answered on a sigh, ”Because eren't ready yet at that time, child”
Weren't ready? A little astonished, Roland pursued, ”Youfor me to find out about the bloody Moon, well, the Erosion myself?”
”You're quite smart I now expect runted ”You don't look like a person who needs help”
”Then what should I do to convince you? Do I have to beg and cry for your help? Or you want a reward fro her head ”No, I don't think you'd trust me even I did so That'll only push you away”
Roland wanted to joke around, saying ”You never know”, but somehow the words abandoned him Lan was much older than Garcia She was the Chief Disciple of the Defendender of the Martialist association, the senior of his senior If she was really the person in the Reflection Church, she was probably 700 to 800 years old, a historical figure, so to speak At this thought, Roland put up a ht” Roland said as he sat down across the table, and went over the questions he had in his head ”Were you ato do with your world,” Lan replied ”I was born here and will also die here, although it's won't happen until many many years later”
”But I saw your portrait in the Reflection Church � ”
”That's nothing,” Lan interrupted Roland ”It's just a historical record that doesn't really say anything”
”But what are the odds that you and the person in the picture look exactly the sa his brows
”If you think further, there areon so in the past, you'd better focus on the present”
Roland knew Lan ale, he could not tell whether she was telling the truth or not There was no point in keeping arguing with her, so he iic power exactly?”
Lan's lips curled into a s in this world could explain it because it doesn't belong here Low lives don't have the capability to understand higher animals What we kno is that we can use it Therefore, you could view it as 'a poe obtain by accident'”
Froic was like the Force of Nature, or perhaps siic power, the Dream World became the way it was Roland thus asked, ”So the book, 'Raison d'�tre', youthe orientation in the Prism City, and your deduction were all true?”
Thequestions Roland had noere the nature and origin of the Erosion and the reason for the endless Battle of Divine Will
”Not really, but you could think that way,” Lan said quickly
