424 Certain People Shouldnt Be Indulged Anymore (2/2)

He had foreseen such a result, and he wasn't surprised at all.

In any case, the Magic Tower of Delpon wouldn't refuse communication, but it had to be quid pro quo.

The visitors could offer money or knowledge, but it had to be as valuable as Roland's knowledge.

Because Vincent had set off on a learning trip, Roland had to teach the magic apprentices in person while he handled the political affairs in Delpon. His life was rather busy.

Thankfully, he didn't need any sleep as a player. He taught the students in the day, and handled political affairs and studied magic during the night. Luckily, he still had enough time.

After the training recently, some of the magic apprentices who followed him since the beginning grew up. They gradually took over some of Roland's work.

In the next two months, Roland's life was occupied and regimented.

He never went anywhere other than the school, his study, and his magic lab.

Occasionally, Andonara would come to his study and help him relax.

His life was very enjoyable.

Also, his understanding of magic was becoming more and more profound too.

The winter was finally over. Thanks to Roland's lumbering program, few poor people in Delpon were killed by the cold. When the spring came, every poor person was given part of the land which used to be woodland and started working.

As the initiator of the lumbering program, Roland witnessed yet another increase in his Reputation.

Most of the citizens in Delpon regarded him as the mayor. As for the real mayor… most people had forgotten him.

In such an atmosphere, Roland saw Betta's message for help in the guild menu.

Betta: ”Brothers, I need your help on an epic quest that's very important to me. I don't trust outsiders.”

Roland and the other friends all promised to help him.

But Schuck couldn't come. He was carrying out a special classified mission for the Church of Light. It was also an epic quest, and he couldn't get away.

Betta: ”That's right. Brother Roland and the others will be enough. It doesn't matter if you can't come.”

Schuck: ”I feel unnecessary.”

Roland turned off the guild system and told Vivian that he was going out.

Vivian slightly pursed her lips. ”I want to go with you.”

”It's something between the Golden Sons.”

”Okay.” Vivian was very disappointed. Even her bright face seemed much dimmer than usual.

When Roland returned to his manor that night, he told of his upcoming trip to Andonara too.

Roland had thought that Andonara would beg to go with him too, but she simply smiled and said, ”Then I'll wait for you at home.”

After all, Andonara was much maturer and more considerate than Vivian. She could tell that Roland did not intend to take anyone with him.

So, she didn't ask to go with him.

That was the difference between a married woman and an unmarried girl.

During the night, Andonara exhausted Roland with her special tricks.

Roland was so tired that his teleportation almost failed the next day when he went to the capital.

He saw Antis again when he entered the city.

The man who was as beautiful as a girl heaved a sigh when he saw Roland and approached, before he asked, ”Why are you here again? Tobian's incident is over. We've split up his properties. You don't have a share.”

Roland shrugged. ”I'm not interested in that. I'm here for a friend.”

”Don't cause any trouble.” Antis turned his head and said casually, ”The capital hasn't been very peaceful.”

”Is the fight for the position of crown prince over?”

Antis suddenly stared at Roland. ”You knew about that?”

”I guessed it. Wasn't it on the street that one of the princes boldly claimed that he would capture Andonara and enjoy her when the king was said to be critically ill? Something is obviously wrong with that.”

Antis put on a mocking smile. ”That's right. He is an idiot. If you know about it, try to stay away from it. The king doesn't want too many wildcards.”

”I'll try to keep a distance, but if he comes to me, don't expect me to hold back.”

Antis looked at Roland angrily but didn't say anything. He merely waved his hand and let Roland go.

After Roland walked away, he suddenly turned his head back and asked, ”Who are the Kualis? I didn't find anything about them.”

”Who knows?”

Fine. It seemed that Antis wasn't in his best mood.

Roland entered the city and went to a manor according to the address that Betta gave him.

The manor was very huge. After Roland introduced himself and was led into the manor, he found that his manor in Delpon was nothing worth mentioning compared to this one.

Then, Roland saw that Betta was having afternoon tea with a rather beautiful blonde girl under a parasol.

Roland was briefly stunned, because he sensed an immense power of light from the girl.

A believer of the Goddess of Light?

No… the power was very similar to Schuck's.

She was a female Saint Samurai!
