355 The World is Changing (2/2)
After almost a year in this game, the players had gotten used to it. They were ready to bare their fangs at this world and take off their husky clothes.
Roland said after a brief silence, ”If you have invested in a prince, other guilds must've invested in other princes, right?”
”Probably. At least, the Temple of Jalan has already got a target. Any guild that is keen about current affairs is taking action. Only the unconnected players do not know what's going on yet.” Ashrosfin stood up and said, ”A powerful player like you will be a guest in every guild. I'm sure that many more people will invite you, but I don't think any of them can be richer than us. Our rewards will be copious.”
Roland's eyes moved to Andonara. After a while, he glanced at Ashrosfin and said, ”I think I'll pass.”
Ashrosfin looked at Andonara too. Then he shook his head and said, ”You do prefer love to power, don't you?”
Then, Ashrosfin stepped forward and shouted, ”Okay, it's time to go!”
All the players jumped to their feet, packed up their stuff, and led the wagons to the road.
Standing on the road, Ashrosfin shouted at Roland, ”You're always a guest at Cornucopia, Almighty Roland.”
Then, he waved at Roland with a smile and left with his team.
The wheels of the wagons crackled and rolled far away.
Andonara approached and grabbed Roland's hand. ”You were friendly when you spoke earlier. Why did the atmosphere suddenly become grave?”
”He said that the king was dying.” Roland observed Andonara's face carefully.
It took Andonara a while to understand what Roland meant.
She was rather surprised, but not sad or upset at all.
She even complained, ”Huh? Why is he dying already? Then won't I lose my identity as the queen very soon?”
Roland asked casually, ”Do you care about your identity as the queen so much?”
”Of course I do.” Andonara stuck her face to Roland's arm and said matter-of-factly, ”You only find me exciting because I am the queen, or I would be no different from any other woman.”
Well… Roland found it hard to keep up with Andonara's train of thought.
But Andonara suddenly grinned alluringly and rubbed Roland's arm gently with her breasts. ”Do you not want to try it while I'm still a queen? It will be very thrilling if you do it with a queen, and that feeling will be gone when I'm no longer a queen later!”
Roland felt that he was full of passion under Andonara's mature attraction.
But after only two seconds, he suppressed the passion with his magnificent mental power. ”Let's talk about it later.”
Andonara glanced at him with a smile, as if she were mocking him for holding back his desires when he was already tempted.
Roland coughed and changed the topic. ”Just now, Ashrosfin also told me that Bianca is the first prince's territory, and he seems interested in you.”
”I'm not surprised,” Andonara said. ”Not just the first prince, all the princes who are old enough to know sex have privately and provocatively invited me to their fiefs or manors. I just ignored them.”
The royal family was really a mess.
Roland sighed, full of mixed feelings, and said, ”Bianca is the first prince's territory. We were going to take a rest there, but I guess we have to bypass the city now.”
”Well, I think it's better to bypass the city too.” Andonara nodded. ”Although the first prince is weak, it might still be dangerous if Vivian and the rest of them encounter a great number of soldiers.”
Roland looked back at the team of merchants and could see the slowly moving spots on the horizon.
He had a feeling that a war among the players would break out soon.
Everybody had different interests. Players were not exceptions.
But the players were undying. If they had conflicts with each other, this world would definitely be devastated.
