"I guess that's why that kid would let me come along. Roland thought with one glance at the one-eyed that froze in place. In fact, he could not have come to this rally. Because if you are serious, the relationship between Roland and Cheese is just an old acquaintance of the mage teacher, and it is reasonable that he is not obliged to wade into this troubled water. But the old man still joined voluntarily, and it was precisely because of this that the rally, which was supposed to end in a cold scene, ushered in a turnaround.

"Ahem. Roland's cough was loud in the quiet of the room, and he walked over to One-Eye's side, holding his usual wooden staff, and whispered to the latter.

"Lady One-Eyed, I think you'd better rest first. It's not that easy to get these guys to agree to follow us. ”

One-eye, who was already in a state of inability to think, nodded subconsciously, but when she wanted to move her feet, she found that her feet were unable to move because of nervousness and fear. The mask obscured the expression on her face, preventing the underground leader from even asking for help with his eyes. Fortunately, Roland noticed this at the first time, and with his gesture, the networm stepped forward and helped One-Eye down, at least making the latter not look so embarrassed.

"All right, distinguished delegates. Mr. One-Eye's words don't seem to please you. But I want you to understand that this is the first time he's speaking in front of so many dark dwellers. As a human being, it's okay to be nervous. Roland's voice was calm, as if he was talking to his neighbors about the weather.

"It's like you're not human, old fellow. Unlike Patriarch Edward, who had spoken before, the voice that spoke it was high-pitched and thin, sounding like a grumpy child. And in the direction from which this voice came, there was a very strange-looking emblem.

This emblem is strange because compared to the symbols of the forces around the venue, this emblem is very ...... Immature. Although it can be seen that it has been carefully drawn, this pattern composed of forks, plates, dragon heads, demon wings, cakes, and other unrelated things looks like a child's work. And the patterns are painted very randomly, and many of them are only half-drawn, as if their authors lost interest in the pattern halfway through.

"I didn't expect to see dwarves in this remote kingdom in the north, and it seems that it was the right decision for me to leave this old bone at home and wait for death. It didn't take Jason's mouth to introduce him, Roland had already recognized the identity of the person who spoke from the distinctive emblem and impressive voice.

"Recognizing us doesn't tell us who we are!Old fellow, your companion is a fool, so you're a fool too!" The dwarf's shrill voice doesn't sound annoying, and with their simple vocabulary, many times, even when the dwarf is really angry, people will only take their swearing as coquettishness.

"Don't get so excited, my kids. Roland said with a smile as he took off his hat, "Maybe these things can make you a little happier." ”

The old man tapped the brim of his hat with his cane, and then, to the unconscious exclamation of everyone, a flock of white doves flew out of the big hat. After a week of flying around the auditorium, the white doves turned into flowers and streamers as they passed over the elves, and some candy fell from the flowers and streamers and fell onto the elves. These brightly colored, deliciously flavored candies make the elves cheer, and they really look like children.

Roland's magic instantly enlivened the atmosphere of the scene, and the discussion reappeared, but what the dark dwellers were discussing was not how magical magic was, in their eyes, Roland should be using some kind of magic that had no magic fluctuations at all. Only a very small number of dark dwellers have realized how the old man has managed to do this miraculous scene by different means, but they are no less afraid of Roland than the others, and they don't believe that this old man with a big hat can only play such a trick.

"Then I suppose we can get down to business now?" said Roland, putting his hat back on his back and tugging on the brim.

There was silence, and all the delegates, including the elf, fell silent again because of the old man's words. It's just that this time it's quiet because of their recognition of this humanity. One-Eye is mistaken, for these dark creatures, the authority and status in the human world mean nothing to them, after all, they themselves are outside of human society. The commissions of witches and wizards were only lip service, and in their eyes they were not even as effective as the magic tricks Roland had demonstrated.

"First of all, I would like to make one point. Roland lightly tapped the ground three times with his cane, which in ancient etiquette meant a solemn promise, "Mr. Cheese and Miss Emia are not obligatory for you to join us this time. Because if that witch wanted to force you, it wouldn't be us standing here today, and as long as Lady Amia herself intervened, I don't think anyone would have the guts to refuse her request, would they?"

No witch group is complete if it loses its oldest witch. But that doesn't mean that an incomplete witch group isn't enough to intimidate the dark inhabitants of the royal capital. In fact, in terms of strength alone, witches who have been in business for many years have far more resources in their hands than these forces, such as magic stone statues like Fergen, and if the witches want to, it is not a problem to drive dozens of them at the same time. And that kind of stone statue army is enough to completely wipe out many of the forces present.

The dark side of the world is chaotic because there is no order here. But the dark side of the world is orderly, because the strong will make rules that cannot be provoked. Once, it was Greene who made the rule, and now, Emiah.

That's true, but why didn't she come forward herself? Instead of sending you to negotiate with us? Doesn't that mean that the strength of the enemy has made the witches too much to take care of? Besides, how can you guarantee that those who quit now will not be retaliated against afterwards? Witches are not known for being benevolent in power. The ghoul's cold voice came again, and it seemed that the Edward patriarch had invisibly become the chief spokesman of many forces here.

"Hahahaha, I think you're mistaken, Mr. Edward. Maybe it's because we didn't go into enough detail before. This rally is not a request for your help. Roland smiled and continued after a pause.

"The purpose of this rally is to ask how many families or forces are willing to accept our protection. You may not realize it, but in fact, our war with the enemy has already begun. We have been caught in the storm for a long time, and now, all of you, like us, have no chance of escaping this storm. Therefore, there will be no retribution. When the storm stops, there will be nothing else in the city worth destroying. I promise. ”

After the old man's words were finished, the whole venue boiled.
