Chapter 946: Hard to Say Goodbye (I.)
Roland listened to Zoya's confession, and was moved but also a little embarrassed: "I personally respect your choice, but your departure may cause the people of Dragon City to fluctuate, and even cause a wave of flight, which is contrary to Andrea's original intention." β
Zhuoya confidently replied: "We have also considered this question, so we will not leave Dragon City for the time being, until we help you complete the work of pacifying the people, and until Dragon City returns to its pre-war prosperity...... In addition, in order to ensure that we leave without causing chaos, we will need you to arrange for Dragon City a person who can unite the Dragonvein in our place. β
Roland frowned and groaned: "There are still generals around Andrea who can be compared to you and Anton?" β
"I'm afraid not, but you can find the right person among the Kitlanders, who is not from the Dragon's Eye, but is an out-and-out Dragon-Vein Clan, and he naturally has an advantage that Anton and I can't match." A look of wisdom appeared in Zhuoya's tearful eyes.
Roland realized: "You mean Vigraf?" β
Zhuo Ya nodded with a smile: "That's right, Young Master Viglaf is the only flesh and blood relative of Lord General in this world, if you can help him win the trust of the Dragon Vein clan during the handover of Dragon City, we can leave Dragon City with confidence in the future." β
"Vigraf is a simple man, he doesn't like politics, and I can't bear to let him get bogged down in political struggles, but it's a pity that ......" Roland sighed, "Life is not everything to be satisfactory, Vigraf is duty-bound, you can rest assured, I will help him adapt to his new role as soon as possible, and this matter cannot be hidden from Andrea, it is necessary to talk to her openly and honestly, we all know her temper, and honesty is the only feasible way to deal with her." β
Zhuoya timidly asked, "Can I ask you to do it for you?" I'm so afraid that the general will lose his temper......"
Roland nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll go tell her." β
Zoya clapped her hands and cheered: "That's great!" With the support of you and the General, Young Master Vigraf will soon be recognized by the residents of Dragon City, and Anton and I will be able to leave with confidence! β
It was dark when Zoya and Anton left. Tomorrow morning, Andrea will leave Dragon City for the Twilight Valley, forced to send people under the fence, and be embroiled in the conflict between the Order of Naluo and Parnia, and the future may not be easyβRoland feels depressed and sleeps at the thought of this. Fortunately, there is still a lot of work at hand, and it is not lonely to be busy all night.
He was busy until the dawn of the morning chicken in the east, and Roland made his own tea and drank it, and went to the square in front of the temple of Tiamat to bid farewell to Andrea.
Perhaps because of the weakness of their hearts, Anton and Zoya came early but did not dare to go over to say goodbye to Andrea, Zoya put the breakfast she prepared by herself in a lunch box and handed it to Roland, asking him to hand it over to Andrea and say a few good words for her and Anton by the way.
Roland expressed contempt for this girl's psychological quality of falling off the chain at a critical moment on weekdays, but she couldn't resist Zoya's coquettish pleading, so she had to carry the lunch box and walk to Andrea alone.
Andrea is saying goodbye to her brother. Vigraf had a new coat, the double-breasted style was quite handsome, presumably hand-sewn by Andrea. Roland couldn't help but think that Andrea had given him a set of hand-sewn snow ape skin cloaks, but unfortunately it was the height of summer and it was inconvenient to wear that very commemorative cloak to give Andrea.
Vigraf was admonished by his sister for half an hour, and when he saw Roland coming, he hurriedly waved and said hello, and said very self-consciously: "You talk first, I'll go eat something." β
Andrea watched her brother pull out her legs, turned around and asked Roland with a smile: "This kid has a lot of eyes, and he was taught bad by you." β
Roland took her by the hand and walked to the temple of Tiamat, and first took a handkerchief on the steps and invited her to sit down, and sat down on the cold stone beside him.
"Vigraf used to be too simple, you are no longer by his side as a sister, I have to play the role of a brother and take care of him a little more...... It may be that the teaching is not very reasonable, but it is not a bad thing to be more attentive, so as not to be deceived by the fox spirit in the future, if there is a day, you still don't want to settle accounts with me, blame me for not fulfilling my responsibilities. β
Andrea took his arm and chuckled, "Where did the vixen come from...... Bad men are running all over the place. β
Roland untied the flower cloth of the lunch box and asked Andrea, "You haven't eaten yet, can you have some?" β
"Yo, croquettes, yes, you made it?"
"Where I know how to fry meatloaf, I'll eat it, Zoya asked me to hand it over to you, I'll have an early meal by the way." Roland unceremoniously picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, praising the good taste.
"Shiro was moved!" Andrea picked up a piece of meatloaf and took a small bite, and stuffed the rest into Roland's mouth, "It's too greasy, it's not as delicious as I made it myself." β
"You said it was good."
"That's what I thought you did, to give you some face."
"You make it for me to eat, I haven't had a chance to taste your craft yet."
"Backwards...... There will be no chance in the future. β
Andrea regretted her whimsical words, but she couldn't take them back when she had already spoken, the conversation seemed like a kite that had suddenly broken the string and could not continue, and the warm atmosphere that the two people had deliberately created with tacit understanding before was also shattered by the cold reality.
Roland munched on the crispy croquette, closed the lunch box, and rewrapped it.
Andrea cleared her throat and picked up a safety topic casually: "That dead girl with no conscience, why didn't she come to see me off?" β
"She doesn't dare, for fear of being scolded by you."
"What did you do behind my back?" Andrea raised an eyebrow in alarm. Her eyebrows are very dark and long but delicate, the eyebrow shape is between "sword eyebrows" and "willow eyebrows", Roland has never seen such handsome eyebrows on other people's faces, maybe it is "born from the heart", Andrea's personality is also so hearty and atmospheric.
"She and Anton went to me last night and talked about something...... Roland conveyed Anton and Zoya's thoughts to Andrea, and incidentally talked about his plans for the future development of Dragon City, focusing on supporting Viglaf to take charge of Zoya and Anton, which was somewhat of a comfort to his sister.
"Those two bastards can do whatever they like, I can't control them anyway." Andrea pretended to smile lightly, "I did my best to help you, and it took a lot of effort to convince most of the Dragon Vein residents to stay, and you have to take good care of them for me." β
Roland turned his head to stare at her silhouette, and couldn't help blurting out what he thought in his heart: "If it's possible, I'd rather exchange everyone in the city for you to stay." β
"Impossible!" Andrea turned her face away, refusing to make contact with his gaze.
"Why?" Knowing that this question was stupid, he couldn't help but say it.
"I can't betray the faith, or I will lose all my power, and a woman who has lost her transcendent power is of no value to you."
Andrea calmly stated the facts, and the calmness made Roland deeply feel that this woman was both respectable and terrifying.
