On the morning of the second day after returning to Krasbourg from the Silver Sky, Roland received two letters in succession, both from young and beautiful ladies, and he was in a very different mood when he read them.

The first letter came from the Twilight Dales, and Tamara had just learned that Beacon Mountain's local spell network had been upgraded to a "cloud network" covering the entire universe with the help of Roland, and it was difficult to hide her anxiety between the lines.

The reason why the Naraku Order and Beacon Hill have irreconcilable contradictions is not only because of different philosophies, but also because of a sharp conflict of interests. The Naraku Order, which has established the "Twilight Fund" based on its own magic network, and the "Offa Bank" in Beacon Hill both operate in the Far East, and the competition has always been fierce, and the two sides are generally evenly matched, maintaining a fragile balance.

Now that Beacon Mountain has successfully upgraded its spell network, its competitiveness has increased dramatically, breaking the original balance of power, and the Twilight Fund is in a worrying situation, and as time goes by, more and more users will withdraw from the Naraku Fund and switch to the embrace of the "cloud network", which is the last thing Tamara wants to see.

The Naraku Order is not only a well-organized religious society, but also has the attributes of a political separatist force and even a warlord. Any organization that wants to survive and develop cannot do without financial support, and the Naraku Order is mainly financed by two major sources, one is the Magic Crystal Mine in the Twilight Valley, and the other is the "Naraku Fund", a comprehensive financial institution hosted by Tamara. These two financial resources are like two legs, and only when both legs are healthy can they stand firm and walk steadily. The creation of the "Cloud Network" was like trying to cut off one of the legs of the Naraku Order, how could Tamara handle it calmly? In his letter to Roland, it is understandable that he angrily accuses him of "unrighteousness".

Tamara's resentment has been around for a long time. She had long realized that no matter how sincere she was and how warm and friendly she was, Roland was still unmoved, this man's heart and liver seemed to be forged of steel, always reciprocating her enthusiasm with coldness, refusing to have sincere relations with her, and deliberately hiding from her whenever there was a major event.

As a dignified princess of Naraku, Tamara usually enjoys the respect of the stars and the moon, she is also a self-respecting person, always being snubbed by Roland, suspicion inevitably breeds resentment, this time finally couldn't bear it anymore, and in the letter to him, all the past grievances broke out, tearfully accusing Roland of all kinds of sorry for her actions over the years. including, but not limited to, Roland's original issuance of construction bonds in Kitland, which undermined her plans to control Kitland's financial lifeline; The Far East deliberately excluded her from the syndicate of underwriters when issuing government bonds after independence; Of course, Tamara will not forget Roland's involvement in the Mulberry Bay mining dispute, favoring the Parnians against the Nalo Order; In addition, Roland did not have her share in the formation of the "Cloud Network Management Committee" this time, which made her suffer a great shame......

Roland looked at the examples listed in Tamara's letter, both ashamed and deeply shocked. Tamara accused him of being unrighteous for the above important events, and even invited Veronica and Nikita to spend time with them in Krasbourg Chinese New Year's Eve did not invite her, went to Baiou Harbor to find the Yangbo sisters to go fishing without taking her to play, and sent Andrea a birthday card but ignored her birthday...... How much does this woman love to hold grudges?!

Roland silently wiped away the cold sweat, turned the second page of the letter and continued to read.

Perhaps because of the easing of emotions after venting, the second half of Tamara's letter regained her senses, saying that she only hoped that Roland would change her attitude and accept her to join the management of the cloud network, and agree to merge the spell network of the Naluo Cult into the cloud network, giving her the same treatment as Beacon Mountain, so as to avoid vicious competition between the two sides......

Roland sensed between the lines that Tamara genuinely wanted to cooperate with him, and did everything in his power to prevent the two sides from turning into hostility. In fact, he himself has always adhered to the concept of win-win cooperation and avoiding conflict, even in the face of an old enemy like the Yashan Empire, he will never give up the possibility of peaceful coexistence until the last moment.

However, his plea to Tamara can only harden his heart and say "no". This has nothing to do with Tamara herself, and can only blame the two sides on diametrically opposed camps.

Roland opposed the exploitation of the Far East by the Assanian Empire, opposed the religious hegemony of the Holy Light Church, and the Far Eastern nations had to expel the imperial power if they wanted to truly achieve independence, but he had no prejudice against the inhabitants of the empire or even the followers of Perot. He had very pleasant dealings with the Fogel and his sons, Palatina, Alberton Jr. and other imperial officials and opposition, and he had great respect for the sun god Perot, but he was not used to those papal bureaucrats who suppressed dissidents and pursued fame and power in the name of faith.

However, Roland can't agree with the cultists who follow the "Grim Reaper" Naraku, these people who worship death and killing are simply unreasonable. This is an insurmountable gap between him and Tamara, and no matter how deep the personal friendship is, it can't change the bottom line of "different ways don't conspire with each other".

As far as personal principles are concerned, Roland does not want to have anything to do with the Naluo Order, and realistically, he cannot accept Tamara's proposal for cooperation. The cloud network is based on the Beacon Mountain Arcane network, and if it is connected to the Naraku Order, the two parties must exchange user information. First of all, Beacon Mountain absolutely cannot tolerate these confidential information falling into the hands of Naraku's followers, and Roland does not want to put this "unstable factor" into his cloud network, in case he turns against the Naraku Order in the future, Tamara is likely to use his cloud network authority to sabotage, and the damage caused will be immeasurable.

Roland had no choice but to refuse Tamara's enthusiasm again with a cold attitude, and replied that Yunwang involved the interests of many true gods, and that he was only one of the seven shareholders and had no right to act arbitrarily, and the remaining six shareholders all made it clear that they disliked Naraku's believers and refused to join Naraku's fund, and they couldn't help it, so they could only say "sorry" to her.

Roland blew dry the ink and paused for a moment as he stuffed the letter into the "magic fax machine", a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

He knew very well that the sending of this letter would mean a complete break, and his personal relationship with Tamara would irretrievably deteriorate, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to be a superficial friend. He has no opinion on the person of Tamara, and even admires it, but unfortunately the two sides have different positions, there are irreconcilable contradictions, and it is also the inevitable result of helplessness to turn against each other in the end.
