"I'm Roland. Rowland. Nerola. ”

Roland squinted his eyes and showed a gentle smile: "By the way, I'm a man." ”

"Huh? How come?! ”

Lily seemed stunned by what Roland said, and froze in place.

But even so, she still didn't let go of Roland's hands that were clenched.

"That's the way it is...... I'll find a seat first. ”

Like a good-natured mercenary passing by, Roland didn't get angry, just smiled and pulled his hand out of her warm little hand, and touched her head.

Then Roland reached out and straightened his collar a little, and sat down in an empty seat not far from the door.

"- Lily!"

The girl with the ponytail finally rushed over and glared at Lily: "Why don't you go and report the dishes ordered by the guests!" ”

"......Uhh Alright, alright, I'll go ......."

Lily stuck out her little tongue, glanced at Roland curiously, and ran to the back kitchen.

Seeing that she had finally left, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed slightly to Roland apologetically: "Sorry guest...... She's the ...... of her temper."

"No, actually, I like this straightforward temper."

Roland paused and said sincerely.

In addition to those enemies who really violated Roland's taboo, in terms of personality, Roland hated people who were insatiable and gave up hope.

Although from the perspective of the opposite sex, Roland prefers strong and intellectual girls, but in terms of the degree of good friends. Roland's favorite friend is a straightforward and simple person like Lily.

The reason may be because of same-sex rejection. Roland knew very well how annoying people like him were. But it won't make the same kind of people feel good because of this. A prime example of this is Farina, who was supposed to be the Eternal Mentor Elect.

As Roland had said after drugging Macen, he had long been mentally prepared to trample on the faith and pride of others. By the standards of ordinary people. Roland was already an unforgivable sinner.

Selfish, cold and ruthless, interests first, but at the same time there is a trace of cowardice and hesitation of young people.

It always feels wrong to say that it is an ordinary thug, but it is not qualified to say that it is a boss-level boss Roland.

It's like the imprint that the system has put on Roland - Roland is just an "elite", not even the rank of a leader.

This makes Roland always vigilant, leaving himself as many back roads as possible, and his daily decisions are not long-term.

Because that elite template keeps reminding Roland: you're just a mortal, don't think too much.

Even the elect who are gods may die if they are abandoned. Otherwise. Falina should survive until the end.

To be honest, in fact, Roland's thoughts about approaching Lily now are not pure.

Unlike Anros and Claudia, who didn't exist in the original history, Lily was quite famous later.

But not as a sorcerer, but as a priest of the Covenant Maker Ilberetu.

As the youngest daughter of Viscount Ketugaya, she survived the coup d'état of Titan and the world war that followed, and finally was favored by the covenant with her innocent heart, and almost became the saint of the covenant maker.

Roland felt familiar at first sight. But he didn't dare to admit it.

Because in Roland's impression, Lily didn't look like a rigid wizard at all. And now that he has met Lily, this sense of disobedience is even stronger.

Whether it's the style of doing things or the character. She doesn't look like a person from this city.

She's so cheerful, she's almost like a modern person.

So, Roland gave up the idea of communicating with her under a false identity.

After all, there is a permanent alliance between the priests of the Three Sages, if she follows the original trajectory. It is very likely that he will become quite close to Roland.

One lie must be covered with ten lies. Like this kind of person who may have more contact with him in the future, Roland doesn't want to face her with a fake identity.

And Roland has another idea......

He wanted to try to pull Lily to the Sleeping Mentor.

Although the Sleeper may not be a good fit for her here compared to the Covenant Maker's side—her pastoral talent is also proven. It can completely make up for Roland's dilemma of having no one at hand at the moment.

At the very least, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the Pope of the covenant maker from Lily's line.

Let me think...... The Pope of the Covenant Makers. Where should this age be......

Just as Roland lowered her head and pondered, Lily, who had finished the menu, reflexively sat opposite Roland with a smile.

"Hey...... Rowland? Can I call you that? ”

Before waiting for Roland to respond. Lily propped her chin with both hands, and while shaking her body back and forth, she said in her soft and long-lasting voice, "Speaking of which, you look like the handsome guy from yesterday." ”

Facing Roland's puzzled gaze, Lily said in a slightly reminiscent tone: "You are as good-looking as he is, and you have a relatively close temperament...... Moreover, the meals ordered are exactly the same. ”

"Speaking of which!"

Lily seemed to suddenly think of something, slapped the table excitedly and stood up, and leaned over to Zoroya's side: "By the way, Dinah decided to go on a trip after talking to that guest!" ”

"How so! Dinah didn't know the details of that person, how could she go out with him! ”

The young man with round-rimmed glasses stood up in a panic: "No, I have to go to her......"

At this moment, the wizards next to him laughed and let out a "oh~" and "oh~" sounds.

The noise grew louder and louder, and eventually resounded throughout the tavern, and the atmosphere was completely jubilant.

Zoroa finally realized his gaffe, and stood in the crowd with a red face, bewildered.

"Have a drink! Zoroa! ”

Someone shouted. Zoroa's eyes also lit up, and he raised the butterbeer in his hand without hesitation and poured it down.

Immediately, cheers, applause, and whistles filled the entire tavern.

It's probably only then that there is a bit of a tavern atmosphere.

"Stupid Soso...... Dinah didn't follow that handsome guy! ”

Lily held her forehead with her hand: "It's just that the handsome guy said that it's best not to stay in the White Tower these days, and go out for a few days to travel and then talk about ......"

Well? What do you mean?

Did he know that something was going to happen to the White Tower...... Did any pastor say that he slipped his mouth?

Roland couldn't help but frown.

"Lily, do you know what that man's name is?"

Roland asked.

Lily nodded, "He said his name was Cyra." ”

…… Cyra?!

Roland's pupils instantly contracted like pinpoint tips.

So he hurriedly asked, "Is it a Bansa man, about one meter nine tall, with platinum blonde hair and blue eyes?" It feels like a living statue. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily leaned over to Roland, "Roland Roland, do you know that handsome guy?" ”

"Ah, of course ......"

Roland squinted his eyes and nodded slightly.

Cyra is the cardinal of Tyre, in charge of the Ring of Killing. In the end, after Jupiter IV entered the book, Cyra was the gatekeeper boss of that dungeon. It can be said that he was the cardinal of Jupiter IV's second trust.

Is he even here? Originally, the collapse of the White Tower should have been none of his business......

However, Roland remembered that Cyra must have received the Killing Ring three months after the fall of the White Tower...... Has history changed? Or did he come as a district bishop?

Roland frowned, thinking.

"Welcome—"

But at this moment, Roland saw the door being pushed open again. He didn't wear a hat, but he walked in from the wind and snow, and his beautiful platinum-blond curls were not messy in the slightest.

Scold...... I really can't stand the chatter.

Roland cursed in his heart as he smiled a smile that was so bright that it was almost exaggerated.

Then he beckoned to Cyra. (To be continued.) )
