"I don't care about your strength. The fastest update" Roland clasped Andrea's slightly cold hand and made a final effort to keep her.

Andrea was finally willing to turn her head to meet his eyes and smile sadly: "But I care, if I lose my strength, I will also lose my self-confidence and sense of security, I would rather die than bear to become mediocre!" You may say you can give me everything I want, but unfortunately you can't. ”

Roland looked into her eyes without flinching, "Maybe I can, as long as you give me a chance to prove myself." ”

"You can't," tears welled up in Andrea's eyes, and her emotions seemed more out of control than ever, "I don't want money and status, not a luxurious life, I want an eternal promise, I want you to marry me, I want you to swear to love me only one for the rest of your life, can you?" ”

Roland seemed to have been slapped on the head, and hung his head in despair, speechless.

"Look, that's the man." Andrea laughed miserably, got up and broke free from his hand, looking indescribably lonely.

She turned to leave, took two steps and suddenly stopped, as if she wanted to turn back and say something to Roland, but in the end she didn't look back.

Roland was no stranger to watching Andrea's silhouette disappear into view. From meeting and knowing each other to parting, Andrea broke into his life several times and left in style, in the past, when they broke up, there were blessings and thoughts, but now they don't even have to say "goodbye", maybe they have each other's consciousness and love each other, it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

Roland sat alone at the front of the steps, looking at the clouds in the distance, and it was not until the middle of the day that he realized his father's hand on his shoulder.

"What's wrong, I look depressed."

"Nothing...... I just sent off a friend, and I'm a little sad. Roland smiled reluctantly, "The thought of separating from more friends soon, makes my heart a little heavy." ”

It's not all a cover-up. Now that the war in the Northland is over, he is going to follow his father back to the Fort of Atonement to seize power in the Far East, and his fellow adventurers will go their separate ways, except for Lyudmila.

Vigrav had to stay in the Northlands and manage Dragon City affairs for him.

Bloom is returning to Icewind Dale to advance to the Dwarven Defenders.

Nikita and Veronica had already received a letter from their elders, urging them to return home as soon as possible. Under Roland's persuasion, they reluctantly agreed to go home and pretend to be good girls for a while, and then either sneak out to the Fort of Atonement to find him while their parents are not strictly guarded, or Roland takes the initiative.

Roland was not worried that the two girls would run away from home, and agreed to visit Beacon Hill and Parnia after dealing with the affairs of the Castle of Atonement, and finally coaxed the girls to agree to wait at home obediently.

Of course, he was embarrassed to tell his father about these trivial matters of his children's affection, so he changed the topic: "Dragon City is no longer a fortress of the dragon-blood clan now, and most of the residents who remain in the city are not devout believers in Tiamat, what are you going to do with this temple?" ”

Rudolph smiled, "You're right, I'm talking to Boris about it just now, Boris thinks that the statue of the evil god should be demolished, the church of Tiamat should be banned from operating in the city, and the temple of Tiamat should be converted into the temple of Sindra, what do you think?" ”

Roland shook his head slightly: "It is not wise to do such a thing to a true god who has many followers and great influence in Vares, we don't have to be afraid of Tiamat, but there is no need to deliberately provoke her, I think leaving this temple can play a role in appeasing the people, of course, the temple of Sindra should also be built, considering that in the future, some of the surplus population will be relocated from Kitland City to fill the labor gap, and it is not impossible to build another temple of Kord." ”

Rudolph nodded approvingly: "This is also my idea, if you can't realize a single Sindra belief in Dragon City, then it would rather be a multi-god sacrifice, there are more gods to worship, people's spiritual sustenance will have more choices, and their thoughts will not go to extremes." He patted his son on the shoulder and said with relief: "After more than two years, you have grown faster than I imagined, from Kitland to Port Baigull, you have dealt with a lot of difficult problems, and you have done a very good job, I was worried that you were too reckless, but now it seems that you are too worried." ”

Roland raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Was I ever reckless?" People always grow. ”

Rudolph's eyes flashed slightly, and he muttered: "I still remember that night three years ago, you and two young militiamen went out of the city to explore the spirit caves...... What happened after that was a nightmare for me, and I still remember it. ”

Roland's heart sank, and he avoided his father's gaze and sneered: "At that time, I was ignorant, and the result of my death was that you wasted a miracle scroll. ”

"As long as you can exchange your life back, what is a 'miracle' scroll......" Rudolph stopped talking, and after a long time continued: "On the way north this time, I met ...... Forget it, don't talk about these frivolous things! He waved his hand irritably, as if he was determined to wave away the gloom that lingered in his heart, his face returned to normal, and asked his son with a smile: "Tell me what you think of the current situation in the Northlands, the Fortress of War and the Dragon's Eye have been destroyed one after another, and the Kitland family is dominant, is this really good?" Does this mean a potential threat to us?

This question is more sensitive, and Roland couldn't help but straighten his waist: "What kind of threat are you referring to?" ”

"The main concern is race and creed, these Kitlanders who believe in Kod used to look down on us Southerners, of course, now that our relationship with Kitlanders is in a honeymoon period, they will not openly promote prejudice against Southerners, but this prejudice is real and deep-rooted after all, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future." Rudolph didn't need to hide his concerns in front of his son.

Roland understood his father's implication: he was worried that the Kitlanders would clash with the Southerners in terms of race and creed, and that they would lay the risk of future unrest on the frontier.

"Your concerns are indeed reasonable, but they are not insurmountable, the biggest problem facing the Kitlanders now is the shortage of resources, the relative overpopulation, if these more than 200,000 young adults are trapped on the plateau, bear the pressure of high unemployment, after a long time, there will inevitably be problems, it is very possible to blame the dissatisfaction with life on us southerners, so we must first find a channel for the Kitlanders to relieve pressure, and take two ways to make full use of the surplus population on the plateau, To turn it from a burden of occupying arable land and food rations into a resource, to tell the truth, as long as the young and middle-aged people are taken care of, what kind of storm can be set off by the remaining old and weak women and children. ”
