326 A Competition of Numbers? 1 (2/2)

After a night, he found that he made little progress.

He didn't make no progress, but this ability was much more difficult to grasp than he anticipated.

When the sun was up, Yelia asked a butler to invite Roland and his crew to breakfast.

It was a hearty breakfast. Obviously, the people of Liguburg had put a lot of thought into it.

Everybody was satisfied. Roland and Yelia discussed magic problems while they ate, and the magic apprentices listened quietly.

They did not have the opportunity to listen to the talk of two chairmen every day.

They subconsciously ate more slowly for fear that they might miss a word or two that the chairmen said and misunderstand them.

When breakfast was about to be over, an officer suddenly walked in. He nodded at Yelia and then looked at the strange faces in confusion.

”Excuse me.”

Yelia smiled at Roland apologetically and walked over to talk to the officer in private.

The officer soon left, and Yelia returned to Roland with a heavy heart. ”The mayor's house was attacked last night, likely by vampires. Would you like to check it out with me?”

”Okay.” Roland wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up.

”I'm going too.” Andonara stood up as well.

”All right.”

Roland nodded as Andonara could be a powerful ally. The vampires might run away from her if she was by herself, but now that two Mages were with her, they would be committing suicide if they atomized themselves.

Yelia looked at Andonara in surprise. ”You shouldn't risk yourself, Your Majesty.”

”We might be no match for her even if we attack her together.” Roland shrugged. ”She's a Master Great Swordsman, and probably the strongest fighter in Hollevin.”

Andonara smiled in delight.

Yelia, on the other hand, widened his eyes in shock.

Few people in the capital knew that Andonara was very strong, not to mention the residents of other cities.

Vivian stood up. She wanted to go with them too.

But Roland waved his hand at her. He then summoned White Amber and threw it to Vivian. ”You stay in the Magic Tower. Inform me if anything happens.”

Vivian bit her lip and nodded.

Roland took Andonara's longsword out of the system pack and gave it to her. Then, he left for the mayor's house with Andonara and Yelia.

At this point, the mayor's office was heavily guarded, but they cleared the way and let Yelia in the moment they saw him.

It was obvious that Yelia was rather prestigious in the mayor's house.

Passing through the moat, they entered the castle and found a group of people talking in the hall.

Soon, they noticed Yelia. A young man with golden hair shouted in excitement, ”Brother-in-law, you're here!”

Yelia nodded and joined them. He pointed at the slim young man and introduced, ”This is Sarog, the mayor's youngest son.”

Then, he introduced the strangers to them. ”This is Roland, the chairman of the Magic Tower in Delpon, and this is… Queen Andonara!”

Hearing ”queen,” everybody turned around and looked at Andonara in surprise.

Andonara, on the other hand, was holding Roland's arm very naturally.
