Chapter 1351 Crushed (1/2)

Theplace was the sae much

Valkries walked into the cafe and immediately noticed Roland seated by the s It looked as though the flourishi+ng human city was forht made her have the illusion that he was of divinity and was unapproachable

Valkries shook her head and put these thoughts behind her

”I'm here”

She sat opposite Roland

”What do you want to eat?” Valkries shook her head, to which Roland responded by getting the waiter's attention ”If that's the case, then we'll have one of everything We can talk and eat at the same time”

Coffee and pastries were served quickly Valkries did not express any signs of rejection and very automatically took a small piece of cake and placed it into her mouth She carefully tasted the sweetness and soft texture of the cake, as though this otiation between enemies, but a tea party to enjoy delicious snacks

”There's so different about you,” Roland looked at her and said

”I've thought about it; eating and talking at the same time isn't that bad” Valkries answered casually She had been too passive at their first encounter and was practically led by the nose, she told herself that it would not happen again She could very well iine the pleased look on his face every ti enough and could not allow for it to continue

”Alright” Roland smiled ”You finally replied me, so did you come to a conclusion?”

Valkries nodded her head

”What is your answer?”

”I refuse”

She caught a hint of startleh he did not expect such a direct refusal as his constantly calm and composed expression finally cracked The ateal Fixed in the same position with cup in hand, Roland took quite a while before bringing the cup to his mouth At the same time, he s?”

”The fifty-fifty decision truly sounded reasonable Compared to the continuation of the race, the front line ar the price to prevent our world fro eradicated To be honest, I was almost convinced by you” Valkries placed another piece of pastry in heryou said ”

”I AM speaking the truth!” Roland replied soleed

”But I am unable to verify your truth”

”…” Roland suddenly becaht? I' the outside world co the news of the front line ar forced to retreat in defeat or the supposed 'Glory of the Sun' I can't even verify its progress, roundless inforht you would be s and judging humanity's war potential from history documents, isn't the end result that obvious to—”

”Potential doesn't represent strength,” Valkries retorted ”That's right, huth; otherwise, Ursrook would have never seen you as equals! But at the sa held up by the Sky-sea Realive up on one side, humanity may not be able to withstand the full force of my race's assault!”

She paused for ayour roots, I have corade hurade of a civilization Maybe it ment in centuries, but as to where the current tier need to send me more of your news fro, but held back his words at the last lorious hu was an opportunity for her to vent her resentment and finally cause the other party's unruffled personality to dissipate and replace it with an obvious disappointment

But she did not sense the joy she anticipated The threat fro had not been resolved If the other party was right, then rejecting the 50-50 choice was not the best solution

But she was unable to ainst her race just based on huligent Co the two, She would rather pick the forreat deal of danger

Valkries sed the last slice of cake and feigned a relaxed state ”Thank you for your hospitality, I will miss this taste in the future”

”If you wish to have it, we can just arrange for another day” Roland shook his head ”You don't have to h this is the last dinner”

”…” Valkries was startled, she had thought of all the possible reactions from Roland's disappointment—from resentment and hostility, to disdain and sarcasm—but it did not include this reality Since she declined the proposal, it was not surprising if Roland found an opportunity to kill her After all, she was still a senior lord and part of the race that was hureatest enemy

”I'll make a move first” Roland took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the exit of the cafe ”I will continue sending news to you Even if you wish to avoid theuy—did he even hear what I said!

Valkries could no longer tolerate it and asked, ”What're your plans now?”

”My plans?” Without even turning his head, he said, ”My plans have never changed—to uncover the secrets of the Origin of Magic and end the Battle of Divine Will coardless of what you choose to do”
