Chapter 607 - The Protagonist’s Reputation is Tarnished Again (2/2)

Seeing that Roland was still considering, Grantham said with a smile, “Why are you hesitating, sir? It’s just a couple of words.”

As if woken up by him, Roland shook his head. “Sorry, but I can’t accept your request. I’m not that influential with the First Princess!”

“Is that so?” Grantham heaved a sigh and said regretfully, “In any case, we’re still friends. If you’re ever in trouble, you can come to the Guild of Warriors. We’ll definitely give you a hand if we can.”

“Sure.” Roland nodded.

He didn’t take Grantham’s words seriously.

It was just formality.

The two parties bid farewell.

Roland returned to the First Princess’s manor.

At this moment, the First Princess was sipping fruit wine on the balcony.

Such wine had a low alcohol content and could hardly inebriate anybody, but Stephanie’s cheeks were still red.

She looked particularly pretty in the moonlight.

Sitting opposite her, Roland asked with a smile, “Drowning your sorrows?” “No!” Stephanie shook her head. “Do you want me to oust Young Martin next?”

She gazed at Roland with hazy eyes as if she were drunk.

Roland shook his head. “No.”

“Why not?”

“It will be troublesome.”

Hearing that, Stephanie smiled and voluntarily poured half a cup of fruit wine for Roland. Then, she casually and quickly clicked her own cup again Roland’s before he picked it up.

“Thank you.” Stephanie smiled happily and genuinely, as if she had just taken off a mask. “For treating me as a friend.”

Roland was smart, and not at all unperceptive. He knew what Stephanie meant.

Stephanie was implying that she would not just regard him as a person she cooperated with but a partner she could trust.

They had known each other for half a year.

But they had never been really close until this moment.

Their hearts were like two hedgehogs whose spines were fully erect. Neither of them dared to let down their guard, fearing that they would get stung.

But the spines on certain hearts were softer than they looked, and it was fine to touch them, unless you stung them brutally first.

It took Stephanie half a year, and what happened tonight, for her to really see it through.

Therefore, she let down all her guard frankly. Roland raised the cup at her and drank the wine down.

“All right, give me twenty Dragon Meat Reagents and I’ll make something good for you, then you can go back to Delpon.” Stephanie smiled. “If you linger any longer, I think Andonara will kill me.”

“She isn’t that mean.” While talking, Roland took out the Dragon Meat Reagents and put them on the table.

“Are you sure? If you dare to stay over, I’ll have to run away.” Stephanie sneered. “I don’t want to be cut into pieces by my good friend.”

Roland thought for a moment and realized that it was truly possible. He teleported back to Delpon.

Looking at where Roland disappeared from, Stephanie smiled delightedly and asked her butler to store the Dragon Meat Reagents.

Roland took a two-day rest after he returned to Delpon.

He was truly exhausted, not physically but mentally.

He had been either studying magic or doing quests with few breaks.

However, he had spent the two days with Andonara and Vivian.

He seemed to be taking a vacation, but he wasn’t exactly resting.

He felt mentally fulfilled, but physically fatigued.

It was quite a subtle feeling. Roland wondered if it counted as a vacation at all. Then, he sent a message to the guild channel. Roland: “Are you all Masters now? I need four for an epic dungeon quest.”

He felt that it was time to process the quest of the vampires’ True Ancestor.

Schuck: “I’ll ride Margret to you. Coming soon.”

Li Lin: “Me, Brazil, and Raffel are still in the Church of Love in the capital of Urganda. It will take days for us to ride a horse back. Roland, come pick us up.”

They had been in the Church of Love in Urganda for a long time, and through the power of sex, they had successfully become Masters.

That was why Roland summoned them for the quest.

Roland: “Fine, but wash up first. You must be smelly after your ‘multiplayer sport.””

Li Lin: “Bro, the priestesses all know the cleaning skill.”

Roland: “Then wait for me there. I need to buy a map of Urganda first… I should be able to find you in 24 hours.”

The whole thing was settled quickly.

The True Ancestor of the vampires… Roland thought for a moment and found Christina, whom he hadn’t talked to for a long time.

“Do you know the truth of the vampires’ origins?”

Christina, who was now fair and plump, widened her eyes. “Boss, are you finally laying your evil hands on little girls? I thought you only liked married women and widows, so I planned to marry someone first and then kill him.”

Roland: ???
