340 Leave Them Be (1/2)
By Roland's estimation, more than three thousand people had been blocked at the city gate, and still more were coming, which caused a traffic jam.
If it were the information age, people would've protested against such an unreasonable order, and whoever was in power would be blamed.
But in this world, the whole Encart City belonged to the mayor, and when he closed the city, the civilians did not really have a justifiable reason to argue with him.
Even Andonara and Vivian didn't feel anything was wrong, not to mention the common citizens.
But Roland didn't really agree with them.
He was not aggravated. Instead, he simply asked, ”Can we go?”
At this point, Andonara suddenly grabbed Roland's left arm, as if she was worried that he would do something.
”Sure.”
Naturally, the city guards dared not stop a Mage and two women who were apparently nobles.
They left the city from a side gate, and Andonara finally released Roland's arm a little bit.
Under the shade of the tree, Roland looked at Andonara's obviously anxious face and asked, ”Were you scared that I would attack them?”
Andonara nodded. ”I know what you did in the past. As far as I know, you've blown up two city gates. I feared that you will blow up this one too if you get too upset.”
”Am I really so unreasonable?”
Andonara peeped at him. ”None of the Golden Sons are really sensible.”
”That's just a misunderstanding.”
”I'll be damned if I believe you.” Andonara mocked him.
Vivian looked at them enviously. She wanted to talk to Roland naturally like Andonara did, but as an unmarried girl, she was more reserved than Andonara was, who was more open-minded in certain aspects.
For example, she slept in Roland's bed every night, taking advantage of the fact that Roland needed no sleep as a player.
When they came to the open-air opera house, they found that a lot of carriages had arrived.
A team of about twenty soldiers was even guarding the entrance.
When Roland arrived, the captain of the guards looked at him and let him through.
In the opera house, Roland saw that the three rows in the front had been taken by people in decent clothes who seemed proud and intimidating.
Roland and his companions attracted most people's attention upon their arrival.
After all, their outfits were too eye-catching. Roland was wearing his magic robe, which granted accessibility to most places, and both Andonara and Vivian were cute and beautiful. Naturally, everybody noticed them.
Roland looked around and ignored the nobles. Instead, he went to the musicians.
At this point, the musicians were chit-chatting and enjoying snacks.
When Roland came, Britney was talking to a female player. She stood up and smiled. ”You're here!”
Roland looked around and asked, ”Are you not going to perform?”
”Impressive!” Roland raised his thumb and asked, ”Can I stay here and enjoy the drama?”
”Not a problem at all.” Britney was very happy. ”We'll be more confident if you're rooting for us… won't we?”
Britney suddenly shouted at her fellows.
