230 Escape (2/2)

Only after Andonara and Roland had walked away did Veronica slowly raise her head, her eyes a little red.

At this time, Andonara and Roland had already walked down the street.

There was no curfew right now, so several commercial streets in the city were brightly lit and there were many pedestrians on the road.

The two of them were very conspicuous as they walked down the street. After all, Andonara was very beautiful.

But not many people dared to look at them directly. After all, Andonara was equipped with a long sword, while Roland wore a magic robe.

They were a combination that was not easy to mess with at first glance.

Andonara clasped her hands to her chest, feeling a little cold.

She wouldn't actually feel cold. As a professional and as a great swordsman, this little bit of night breeze couldn't make her feel cold.

She just didn't feel safe. She'd been in the palace for the past few years, and suddenly she felt a bit overwhelmed by the sudden escape.

The relatively unfamiliar surroundings and her unknown future, accompanied by all sorts of considerations and thoughts, filled her head and left her in a dazed state.

Roland, on the other hand, was looking for a safer place.

The Wild Horse Tavern was out of the question. That kind of place was too crowded, and going there would be the equivalent of directly telling the royal family their location.

If it were any other city, he could have blown the gates open with a large fireball and left with Andonara.

But the walls of the capital were different, mixed with magic-resistant materials.

Even if a big fireball came down, it would break through two meters of the wall at best.

The thickness of the wall of the capital was at least twenty meters.

The walls of almost every kingdom's capital were built with magic-resistant materials.

It was to prevent powerful Mages from screwing things up.

This was why Roland had to be patient and wait for Husseret to find a way out.

If that was not possible, he would have to rely on Schuck—have him take the little dragoness into the capital, then find an empty spot where the dragoness could shift back into her dragon form and fly away from the capital with Andonara.

Of course, this was the last resort.

They didn't want to expose Schuck and the dragoness for the time being, after all. When dealing with the Association headquarters, they were the trump card.

In the end, Roland thought about it and took Andonara to the west side of the city, next to the cemetery.

The cemetery was a place that people generally didn't like to come to, so there were very few people here. There was also a small forest around the cemetery, and in the forest, Roland used Mud to Stone to build a small cottage, and then took Andonara and hid inside.

With the woods as cover, it would be difficult for the average person to spot the small cottage.

After Andonara entered the small, narrow cottage, her expression, at last, eased considerably.

It seemed that this temporary lodging gave her a lot of security.

She looked up at the leafy canopy outside through the tiny ventilation window, and after a while, she said, ”I guess the royal family is already looking for me.”

Roland sat leaning against the wall and didn't say anything—what she had just said was quite obvious.

Andonara turned her head to look at Roland. ”I'm actually very powerful. Even the few Archmages in the city are no match for me.”

Hmm?

Roland was a little surprised, but also a little helpless.

This woman's thoughts were so capricious, he had no idea what her next words were going to be.
