Roland squinted his eyes and showed a gentle smile: "By the way, I'm a man."
"Eh? How could that happen?!"
Lily seemed stunned by what Roland said and froze on the spot.
But even so, she still did not let go of Roland's hands.
"That's the truth... I'll find a seat and sit down first."
Just like a good-tempered mercenary passing by, Roland was not angry. He just smiled and took his hand out of her warm little hand, and patted her head.
Then Roland reached out and straightened his collar a little, then found an empty seat not far from the door and sat down.
"——Lily!"
The girl with a ponytail finally rushed over and glared at Lily: "Why don't you go and tell the guests what they ordered!"
"Uh-huh... ok, ok, I'll go right away..."
Lily stuck out her tongue, glanced at Roland curiously, and then ran to the kitchen.
Seeing that she finally left, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly apologetically to Roland: "I'm sorry, guest... She just has this temper..."
"No, actually I quite like this kind of straightforward temper."
Roland paused and said sincerely.
Apart from those enemies who really violate Roland's taboos, character-wise, what Roland hates most are those who are greedy and those who give up hope.
Although from the perspective of the opposite sex, Roland prefers strong and intellectual girls, but as a good friend, the kind of friends Roland likes to make are straightforward and simple people like Lily.
The reason may be that people of the same sex repel each other. Roland is well aware of how annoying people like him are, but he will not be attracted to the same people because of this. One typical example is that he was supposed to become the chosen one of the Everlasting Mentors.
Farina.
Just as Roland said after drugging Marken - he had long been mentally prepared to trample on other people's beliefs and pride. According to ordinary people's standards, Roland was already an unforgivable sinner.
Selfish, cold and ruthless, with interests first, but at the same time there is a hint of youthful cowardice and hesitation.
It feels wrong to call him an ordinary thug, but calling him boss-level boss Roland is not qualified.
Just like the mark given to Roland by the system - Roland is just an "elite" and not yet at the level of a leader.
This made Roland always act vigilantly, leaving as many escape routes for himself as possible, and his usual decisions were not considered long-term.
Because that elite template keeps reminding Roland: You are just a mortal, don't think too much.
Even as God's chosen one, she might die if she is abandoned. Otherwise, Falina should be able to live until the end.
To be honest, Roland's thoughts about approaching Lily are not pure.
Unlike An Ruosi and Claudia who did not exist in the original history, Lily was quite famous later on.
But not as a sorcerer, but as a priest of the covenant holder Ilbilitu.
As the youngest daughter of Viscount Cthugya, she was lucky enough to survive the Titanic coup and the subsequent world war. In the end, she was spotted by the Covenanter with her pure and flawless heart, and almost became the Covenanter's saint.
.
Roland thought she looked familiar the first time he saw her, but he didn't dare to recognize her.
Because in Roland's impression, Lily didn't look like a rigid wizard at all. But now that he saw Lily, this feeling of dissonance was even stronger.
Whether it's her acting style or personality, she doesn't look like someone from this city.
She is so cheerful, almost like a modern person.
Therefore, 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 Saints. If she follows her original development trajectory, it is very likely that she will become someone very close to Roland.
A lie must be covered up with ten lies. For someone like this who may have more contact with him in the future, Roland does not want to use a false identity to face her.
And Roland has another idea...
He wanted to try to drag Lily to the eternal sleep mentor.
Although Mentor Longsleep may not be suitable for her compared to the Covenanters - but her talent as a priest can also be proven. It can completely make up for Roland's dilemma of having no one at hand at the moment.
The last thing we need to do is establish a good relationship with the Pope who made the covenant through Lily.
Let me think about it... Where should the Pope of the Covenant come from in this era...
Just as Roland lowered his head in thought, Lily, who had finished delivering the menu, turned around and sat down opposite Roland with a smile.
"Hey... Roland? Can I call you that?"
Before Roland could respond, Lily supported her chin with both hands, rocked her body back and forth, and said in her soft, long-drawn voice: "Come to think of it, you look just like the handsome guy yesterday."
Facing Roland's puzzled gaze, Lily spoke with a hint of reminiscence: "You and he are both very good-looking, and both have a similar temperament... and the meals you ordered are exactly the same."
"Say it, say it!"
Lily seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She slapped the table excitedly and stood up, approaching Soraya: "By the way, Dinah decided to go on a trip only after chatting with that guest!"
"Why is this like this! Dinah doesn't know the details of that person, so how can she go out with him!"
The boy wearing round glasses stood up in a panic: "No, I have to find her..."
At this moment, the wizards nearby laughed and shouted "Oh~" and "Oh~".
The booing got louder and louder, eventually resounding throughout the tavern, and the atmosphere became completely jubilant.
Soraya finally realized his gaffe and stood in the crowd with a red face and was at a loss.
"Have a drink! Soraya!"
Someone was shouting. Soraya's eyes also lit up. He raised the butterbeer in his hand without hesitation and drank it down.
Suddenly, cheers, applause, and whistles filled the entire tavern.
It's probably only at this time that the place has a bit of a tavern atmosphere.
"Idiot Suosuo...Dina didn't follow that handsome guy!"
Lily put her hand on her forehead: "It's just that the handsome guy said that it's best not to stay in the White Tower these days and go out to travel for a few days..."
Huh? What do you mean?
Did he know something was going to happen in the White Tower...did any priest let it slip?
Roland couldn't help but frown.
"Lily, do you know that man's name?"
Roland asked.
Lily nodded: "He said his name was Xila."
...Xila?!
Roland's pupils instantly shrank like needlepoints.
So he quickly asked: "Is he a Bantha man, about 1.9 meters tall, with platinum blond hair and lake-blue eyes? It feels like a living statue."
"Yes, yes!" Lily approached Roland, "Roland, Roland, do you know that handsome guy?"
"Ah, of course..."
Roland squinted his eyes and nodded slightly.
Syrah was the cardinal of Tire, in charge of the Ring of Killing. Finally, after Jupiter IV entered the dungeon, Sylla became the gatekeeper boss of that dungeon. It can be said that he was the second most trusted by Jupiter IV.
Cardinal.
Did he even come? Originally, the collapse of the White Tower should have been none of his fault...
However, Roland remembered that Xila should have obtained the Ring of Killing three months after the collapse of the White Tower... Has history changed? Or did he come as a district bishop?
Roland frowned and kept thinking.
"Welcome -"
But at this moment, Roland saw the door being pushed open again. He was not wearing a hat, but he walked in from the wind and snow, and his beautiful platinum curly hair was not messy at all.
Ha... I really can't bear to talk about it.
Roland cursed secretly in his mind and showed an almost exaggerated smile.
Then, he waved to Xila. (To be continued.)
