Roland is the kind of person who doesn't take care of things, and for him, the ups and downs of the people in Delbon City are really not interested.

He is a mage, and although he has only been a mage for half a year, he has already been infected with some fatal common diseases of mages.

For example...... I don't like to take care of things too much, and I don't care too much about people outside.

What kind of banquets, hunting, beauty and other aristocratic social activities, is there a magic model to make people addicted?

Are there magic patterns that are beautiful and moving?

It's all puffy clouds.

If he had to say that the people he valued more in Delbon City were none other than some familiar players and apprentices in the magic tower.

And Vivian is the person he is close to, so most of the people who can ask Vivian to pass the word have a certain relationship with Vivian's family.

For Vivien's sake, Roland had to meet with the inviter.

Following Vivien, Roland arrives at a manor that is not too far from his home.

Then he was welcomed into the manor with very thoughtful etiquette by the butler, and then on the balcony on the second floor, he met the person who invited him.

An old woman I had seen before.

Christine, that's the old woman's name.

She sat down with Roland and let the servant serve pastries and a drink similar to flower tea, before she smiled and said, "It's not easy to invite you, Lord Roland. If it weren't for the fact that Vivien and I were still some distant relatives, there really would be no way to see you. ”

Roland chuckled lightly and said, "It's not difficult, old man, if you want to see me, let people come and shout whenever you want." ”

"Drink some flower water first, I heard that the elves love to drink water like this." Christine pointed to the cup in front of Roland with her already wrinkled fingers.

Roland took a sip and said, "It tastes good." ”

Christine chuckled softly, "I know you magicians have precious time, so I won't be verbose. I would like to ask, what exactly do you sons of gold want to do? ”

Well? Roland asked Christine with a strange look.

"That sheriff named Link has been putting the streets in order lately, which would have been a very reasonable thing to do." The old woman's tone gradually became serious: "But lately his movements have become more intense, and many things have begun to interfere. ”

Roland took another sip of flower tea without hurrying, and I have to say that this flower tea actually tastes pretty good, but they call this thing 'flower water', which feels weird: "What industry are you meddling in?" ”

"That's not a big deal. It's just that he has gone too far to maintain law and order, and he is almost to the point where he does not distinguish between good and evil. ”

Hearing this, Roland smiled and said, "Impossible, I still understand that link, it is impossible for him to do things that refer to deer as horses." ”

The old woman stared at Roland, her eyes motionless.

Roland smiled and looked back.

After a long while, the old woman Christine said slowly, "It seems that you also think that Link is doing the right thing?" ”

"I just believe that he will not spread the rectification movement to ordinary people at will." Roland took another sip of flower tea and said, "Of course, whether you do it right or not has to be evaluated by ordinary people, not you and me." ”

Roland didn't believe these nobles, and whatever the other party said, he only believed two points at most.

And there is no reason to believe the words of this old woman and not her own fellow man.

"It seems that although His Excellency Roland has been staying in the magic tower, his ability to gather information is not bad." Christine looked at Roland with a smile for a while, and continued: "Well, since everyone understands people, I won't hide what I say. Link didn't drink it to get the law and order, but asked him not to beat our dogs. ”

"We?" Roland sat up straight: "It seems that you have joined forces to put pressure on me." ”

Christine shook her head: "We didn't mean that, we just asked, to save us a little face." ”

Roland sighed, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you anything about this. Link is the sheriff, and I'm just a magician. ”

Hearing this, Christine felt that this young spellcaster was simply slippery, and he looked very smug when he spoke, but in fact, he didn't reveal any useful information at all, just like an old fox.

"Your Excellency Roland, if the water is too clear, you can't raise big fish."

Roland smiled when he heard this: "What Link wants is a pool of drinking water, which is for people to drink, not for raising fish." Ordinary people drink too much turbid water, and their bodies will only have problems. ”

"But there will be no big fish." The old woman said coldly.

Roland raised his eyebrows: "Why do you have to raise fish in the lake, can't you use it to drink?" Even if there are no fish, the water can be drunk and can still be used for farming, and it can not be used to raise people? Besides, the fish raised can be eaten by ordinary people? It's not in the belly of a beast. ”

Christine's expression became colder and colder: "In other words, Lord Roland, you are not going to persuade Link?" ”

"I said it, I don't care, I don't want to persuade him, but I think he did the right thing." Roland stood up, looked at the old woman, and said, "I also want the city of Delbon to be a puddle of clear water. ”

"Even if Vivien begs you, you won't change your mind?" The old woman asked.

Roland was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Then you let Vivian come and beg me to say more." And also...... You have recently received a lot of property from the city lord, and your strength has grown, and your psychology has also swelled. So I think we are qualified to negotiate the conditions, but don't forget. How come there are no more than a thousand elite soldiers from the city lord! When the old city lord was here, you didn't dare to move, but now that the old city lord is gone, you actually came to threaten the 'us' who made the old city lord invisible, who gave you the courage. ”

Looked at by Roland with a contemptuous gaze, the old woman suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

She slowly closed her eyes: "I understand, no matter how many jackals gather, they can't fight strong male lions." But we can change the conditions, for example, if you can limit Link, each of us is willing to give you a small profit. One person may give a little less, but if there are more, then your power will be greatly improved. And as far as I know, Your Excellency has been having some unpleasant relations with Link lately. ”

Roland was silent.

He could hear that this passage was the old woman's true thoughts, or killing moves.

The first thing is just foreshadowing, and then there is temptation.

Now it's time for the end of the day.

They want to divide the players, similar to what John Jr. did a few months ago.

But they did it better and the timing was more accurate.

They could even find out that Roland and Hawke and the others were already estranged.

Seeing Roland's silence, the old woman showed a slight smug smile: "Don't dare to say anything else, but at least you can make your Excellency the shadow city lord of Delbon." We, on the other hand, are your faithful allies and companions. ”
