It would be even better if Lance could fly over there.

However, Roland just thought about it and didn’t dare to say it out loud.

Chapter 74 Lance Shanks Wants to Know

Menqian Town was different from the ruins in Roland’s memory. It was not as dilapidated as in the game. Only some ruins were left.

He remembered Diaros’s maid, who died in the ruins of the town in front of him.

None of this has happened yet.

Menqian Town is still thriving. In terms of area alone, the town is larger than the college.

There is a constant flow of traffic and blooming flowers.

In addition to magic apprentices who often come here, many businessmen also choose to settle here.

Roland and Lance walked into the town along the long street, and many people noticed them.

After all, both of them were dressed very distinctively. Roland wore a long white trench coat with a shirt and a pair of white trousers, decorated with the golden tree logo. Lance wore a small suit with a pleated skirt and sheepskin boots tonight.

It must be because it is too modern and a bit out of place with the surroundings that it attracts so much attention.

But they didn’t care and talked about their own things.

“Really? Why couldn’t you come earlier? You made me keep explaining and waiting for someone.” The silver-haired elder sister was a little dissatisfied.

“I’m not late.” Roland replied.

“Wow, shouldn’t you have arrived earlier?” Lance deliberately made an exaggerated expression.

“I can’t help it. Something delayed me.”

He shrugged, “Let’s think about where to eat. I’m not familiar with the place. I don’t come here often, and I usually cook in the dormitory.”

“Huh?” Lance walked slowly with him.

“It will definitely be better than the cafeteria, don’t worry.” Roland comforted her, “We can just find a random restaurant.”

“It’s all up to you.”

Lance followed him into a restaurant that was very different from the one he remembered.

There was no elegant music, no crystal chandeliers, no smooth floors and no servants.

The restaurant was noisy, the tables and chairs were so close together that it seemed that if you moved, you would bump into the guests at the next table. Occasionally, there were children running in the aisles between the tables.

There were no pretty waitresses like in the animations, only an old lady who was stronger than Roland, who kept serving dishes and uttering some vulgar words.

Lance Shanks thought she had seen a lot, but she used to be an ancient dragon and didn’t care to understand humans. Later, she became friends with Roland and lived in the royal city, where she was surrounded by luxury and intoxication.

Even after coming to the magic academy, the arrangement that Lani made for her was not bad. She lived in a dormitory of the same standard as Roland.

Right now, this situation is indeed unexpected.

But she didn’t care. She was an ancient dragon herself, so this kind of scene was more in line with the ancient dragon’s initial impression of humans.

Weak, and as dense as insects.

Roland and Lance chose a seat in the corner, she sat inside and Roland sat outside, with a candle in the middle of the table to illuminate the room.

The restaurant was noisy, with noise, drinking, and arguing. Just as Roland had said, this place was too simple compared to the restaurants in the royal city.

He asked Lance, “What would you like to eat? Can I get you a menu?”

“No, just give me the same thing as you eat.” She pulled Roland’s sleeve.

Unlike the common people she had seen before, the common people of Golden Tree Rodel were also proud of living in the royal city, so this kind of situation would basically not occur.

“Okay, leave it to me.” Roland stood up and asked the aunt for two meals.

When he came back, he saw Lance in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

“Done.”

“Oh.”

She nodded and looked at Roland. “Actually, I was wondering why you came to the magic academy a year ago? And you left without saying goodbye. Ful was very sad.”

“…..I said I was going to learn magic, do you believe me?” Roland paused, “It’s my fault for leaving without saying goodbye. I’m sorry.”

She smiled and said, “Why? There must be a reason for your sudden departure. It can’t be the rumor that everyone is spreading, saying that you were squeezed out by Radagan and you felt uncomfortable, so you left the royal city.

I don’t believe it. You must have your own ideas. Instead of believing this, you should believe that you want to learn magic.”

“Well, it’s okay to tell you, but you have to tell me why you quit your job as a priest and came to the magic academy.”

Roland spread his hands and said, “Let’s exchange equal value. Otherwise, it would be a bit unfair for me to be the only one telling you.”

In fact, apart from Torina and Michaela, the person he trusted most was Forle, his good brother who had to drill into his body and fight against death after he was assassinated, and was contaminated from an ancient dragon into a dead dragon.

But Lance’s sudden arrival made him a little more defensive. He couldn’t understand why Lance came here.

Even if one person had to stay behind, it would definitely be Furl who would ask to stay, not Lance.

Her silver hair spread down her shoulders, and she leaned towards him, supporting her chin with her hand and spoke.

“Well, because you’re so stupid, Roland, and you haven’t reacted yet, I stayed here myself.”

“Hmm? What does it have to do with me?” Roland narrowed his eyes. “Since you don’t want to talk about it, then I won’t talk about it either.”

At this time, he saw Sister Black Knife coming out from another corner. The room was so chaotic and noisy that no one noticed the presence of another person.

Before leaving, she waved to Roland and walked out of the restaurant.

Now, Di Xi is completely Roland’s man, and it is hard to tell who is protecting whom in the guarding work.

It’s nothing to leave for a while.

The two men talked about the royal city again, about knights and faders, and Lance stroked his chin.

“Hearing you mention the Faded One, it does seem a little strange.”

“I hope the Faded Ones will come back. They haven’t been gone for long, so most of them should be alive.” Roland looked at the meal that the aunt brought.

“Definitely. Even if they leave the border area, they are still very strong fighters.”

Lance took the plate and looked at the food on it, a large plate of noodles with meat sauce, a steak, and boiled vegetables with sauce.

Looks pretty good.

She tried the bolognese noodles and found that they tasted good, but still far inferior to those in the royal city. The only advantage was that the portion was large.

This was quite good. Roland understood her and knew that she was in the royal city. She couldn’t even taste the food well if she ate such a small portion.

The two of them talked and chatted, and the atmosphere was pretty good. The strangeness that came from not seeing each other for a year slowly dissipated, and they returned to normal, talking and laughing.

During this time, he saw Di Xi coming back, carrying a bag, like his shadow.

Roland was already completely familiar with the world where Di Xi existed, and with her by his side, he would feel a little more at ease.

After the dinner, Roland paid the bill and left the restaurant with her.

It was getting a little late, and in this world without much entertainment, most people would stay in the tavern to have fun.

There were few people on the street, and it was very quiet, just like the night sky with a sparse moon and stars.

Roland breathed in the cool air, feeling a hint of chill in his nose, and walked in the deserted alley with Lance.

Chapter 75: Miss Se Lian doesn’t care about rumors

The moonlit night is long, and the bright moon hides among the clouds, like an eye, peeking at the former lake, making the remaining pool of water reflect a mirror-like brightness and casting its pure light.

Roland and Lance Shanks walked slowly back to the academy. Their reminiscing was over and it was time to part ways.

He held hands with Di Xi, took the ingredients from her, and walked back to the classroom along the corridor.

Without his knowledge, the joke he played with Lance tonight spread within a small circle.

In the Haimo classroom, many people’s dormitories are different from Roland’s. Not to mention study rooms, they don’t even have independent bathrooms.

Therefore, joining a classroom is taken seriously, as it means you have a place to study on your own and teachers and seniors to ask questions to.

The Haimo classroom tonight was different from usual. It was a little noisy, but there was no whispering. Everyone gathered around Se Lian and told her the rumors that happened at the school gate tonight.

“Hey, Se Lian, do you know?”

“By the way, how far have Selian and Roland progressed?”

“Roland? Roland has never approached a woman except Selian. Could it really be him?”

“Le, it’s more important what Se Lian thinks, but the only person who can wear a long white trench coat is Roland.”

“…”

Amid the chatter of her seniors, she finally figured out the whole story.

That night, Roland seemed to have chatted up a particularly beautiful silver-haired woman.

She looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with her. Everyone else was more excited than her.

“You think that person is really Roland? Even if it is him, it could be a misunderstanding or a rumor. There’s no need to take it too seriously.”

When everyone heard Se Lian say this, they looked at each other and could only disperse.

Se Lian was holding the magic scroll, feeling quite calm as he looked at the moon outside the window.

I haven’t seen my senior for several days.

Don’t know what he is doing.

I’ll go meet my senior tomorrow.

She withdrew her thoughts and continued to study pyroxene magic without thinking about these things.

On the other side, Roland and Di Xi returned to the dormitory and put the ingredients into the kitchen.

Another sleepless night.

The next day, the blond young man took a shower in the bathroom. The water was very cold, flowing over his skin, making him feel sober.

This won’t work.

Even a demigod cannot go without sleep every day, this must be controlled.

He took the towel, casually wrapped it around his waist, walked out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa and wiped his body.

“I’ll help you, Your Highness.”

Di Xi appeared behind him, holding a towel and helping him wipe his hair.

Her hair was just past her ears and much easier to manage than Roland’s long hair, so he went to take a shower first.

The two of them didn’t take a shower together, mainly because Roland was worried that the day would pass by in a flash.

The blond youth lowered his head, “Why did you come out of the bathroom, and wear armor? Aren’t there a lot of clothes in the closet?”

“I’ve said it before, Your Highness can find women as you please. I am Your Highness’s shadow, and shadows should be hidden in the dark.”

Her tone was normal and she didn’t use the word “lover” anymore, because every time she said that, he would get angry.

He ran his fingers through Roland’s hair and wiped it dry with a towel.

The young man couldn’t see her expression, he held her fingers, and spoke in a deep and powerful voice with a magnetic feel.

“I also said that I would marry you. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will bear it.”

“Yeah, I know.” Her eyes were full of smiles and her face was blushing.

Even though I have done that kind of thing, I still feel shy when I hear His Highness say lovingly that he wants to marry her.

Even though I know this is a very distant and unrealistic thing, the joy that rises from the bottom of my heart is not fake, and I have a very happy feeling.

After being with His Highness, I smile more often, and life is no longer as boring as before, with simple surveillance and assassinations.

“Your Highness, please let go. I can’t continue to help you dry your hair.”

“Oh, I was thinking that combat skills should be able to be transformed into magic. I haven’t tried it, but theoretically it’s possible.

Storm Blade, Storm Feet, and Call Storm, I know all of them, so I can give them a try.”

Roland thought, “Prayer and magic can be transformed into each other, and combat skills can also be transformed into magic. Then I can use wind magic to blow my hair.”

“Your Highness, your reasons for learning magic are really strange. You learned ice magic to preserve food, and you also wanted to transform storm-related combat skills into magic to blow dry your hair.”
