Roland's words were very unpleasant, and he even named Egilina by name and said that she was delusional.
Egilina seemed to have been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer, murmuring faintly: "Don't you recognize exclusive love?"
"I said that the number of wives you marry depends on fate. If there is only one person who is destined to me, then marry one. If there are more people who are destined to me, then there will be several. Do you understand?"
Roland said calmly: "Marriage and love are important parts of life, but nothing more. I have a lot to do, and my time is very precious."
Egilina was silent for a long time and said with some disappointment: "You are right, I am being hypocritical. As you said, I am a member of the privileged class. My mother is my father's third wife. If you insist Monogamous, I wasn’t even supposed to be in this world.”
“It would be rude to ask for the tail side of the coin after you’ve got the front side of the coin.”
She thought of her father's three wives and two other mothers.
They all took good care of her, even better than their own sons.
Have these three mothers thought about this?
She smiled self-deprecatingly and said softly: "Thank you for pouring cold water on me. According to you, I should dress up better tonight and try to become the wife of the Demon King?"
"That's not necessary. Not everyone has to rely on marriage. What's more, the Demon King has 1 wives. In his eyes, women are probably just tools and numbers to express his desires."
Roland said calmly: "The vines need to cling to the big tree, but the big tree doesn't have to rely on anyone. Egilina, you don't need to rely on marriage at all. The mystery of the endless starry sky is what you should pursue."
"A big tree doesn't have to rely on anything. This sentence is very philosophical."
Most of Egilina's melancholy disappeared, and she smiled and said: "I understand, are you trying to encourage me to stay single for the rest of my life?"
"Don't interpret it randomly, you guy. If your parents heard it, they would think it was me who instigated it."
Seeing Roland's disapproving expression, Egilina knew that he was just talking casually and was not really afraid of her parents being held accountable.
She stopped continuing the topic, but asked with a smile: "Did anything interesting happen during my absence? How is the competition between the Brotherhood and the Temple of Light going?"
Roland was waiting for this sentence.
If he speaks more, Egilina will speak less, and her mood will gradually calm down. His task as a spiritual mentor will be completed tonight.
Except for the World Tree, he told everything else without any concealment.
Egilina frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Roland, you have concealed part of the truth. What happened is definitely more than that!"
"There are some things involving Mr. Famas, the chief of the Brotherhood, that I can't say. If you really want to know, you can tell it yourself."
It's okay not to mention this matter, but when it comes to divination, Egilina's face doesn't look good.
Divination for the Archdruid is easy.
But there is the goddess of nature behind Famas. He is the agent of the goddess of nature in the human world, and has a direct communication channel with the goddess. It is deduced that Famas must contact that goddess.
After the backlash of the last deduction, she became very resistant to divination related to the goddess.
Looking at Egilina's troubled expression, Roland understood that she wanted to know the answer directly. He also believed that Egilina would keep the secret. He lowered his voice and asked:
"You want to know the answer?"
"I can keep a secret, I swear!" Egilina, tortured by curiosity, said quickly.
“I believe it because I can too.”
Egilina was stunned for several seconds before she realized that Roland was reminding her that he would keep secret.
This is a paradox. If Roland cannot keep a secret, then the secret will be leaked, if not from Egilina then from someone else.
If Roland could keep a secret, he wouldn't say anything.
Egilina was silent for a long time and finally gave up.
That's how confidentiality works. You can't expand the scope of your knowledge just because you trust someone.Expanding the scope of knowledge is itself a leak.
If Roland told her now, the secret would have been leaked, and it would be Egilina who would remedy the situation if it were not expanded later.
Roland did the right thing.
Although it made her sad.
Seeing Egilina's disappointed expression, Roland said in a deep voice: "A monarch who is not careful in speaking secretly will break the trust of his subjects, a subject who is not careful in speaking secretly will get burned, and failure to speak carefully in important matters will cause disaster. Please understand."
Egilina nodded and stopped asking about the matter.
She couldn't help complaining: "Roland, why do you sometimes say such philosophical things, and sometimes do things haphazardly and not follow the routine at all?"
"Who said I didn't play by the rules? What did I do that didn't serve my interests?"
Seeing that it was late, Roland was about to say goodbye and leave, but Egilina stopped him.
"I have another personal matter, can you help? This time when I went home, my mother blamed me for being an adult but not caring about personal matters at all, so she forced me to attend the dinner. If I didn't have a boyfriend, she would continue to pester me."
"Are you going to let me, a low-level human, pretend to be your boyfriend?"
Egilina nodded quickly and said softly: "Roland, there is no absolute boundary between high-level humans and low-level humans. It is not difficult to become a high-level human with your potential. I can help you find a family suitable for your marriage."
"I disagree."
"Why?" Egilina was a little confused.
Roland shrugged and said with a smile: "According to the routine of third-rate romance novels, pretending to be a boyfriend will turn out to be bad in the end. Unless you don't mind making the fake come true, don't come to me. I don't want to lose my best friend."
"Instead of thinking about whether these things are available or not, it is better to break through the fifth level as soon as possible, and your mother will not care about you."
Seeing Roland's leaving figure, Egilina suddenly became alert.
That bastard Roland, after all, he still wants her to be single for the rest of her life!
But what he said was right. The difference between a quasi-fifth level and a fifth-level person was a huge difference. If she could reach the fifth level, no one would force her to get married.
No matter what she chooses then, it will be her freedom.
This is much better than acting for my mother.
Chapter 008 Let’s go quickly, leave the whirlpool
Roland didn't have time to interfere with Egilina's personal affairs, but he certainly wouldn't pretend to be her boyfriend.
He believed that Egilina would understand his advice.
Thinking of the vulgar scenes in Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, he felt numb.
Everyone is a strong person in the world of high demons, don't be fooled by these lies.
If you like it, go for it boldly, but if you don't like it, keep your distance. It's like a romantic drama where you have to live and die all day long. It's simply insulting to the strong man's demeanor.
Roland didn't notice that his mood was gradually changing since activating his second profession, Holy Shield Knight.
In the past, when I encountered a problem, I first thought about how to compromise and surrender. If I couldn't surrender, I would consider running away.
Now that he encounters a problem, he still has one option, which is to face it head-on, and then consider surrendering or compromising if it is over.
But if you can't win, you still have to run.
Only when people are alive can they have hope, but when they die they are completely ruined.
After returning to the castle, Roland came to the library and felt his head was a little swollen, so he picked up a copy of "The Prince" from the bookshelf, read it for a few times and then fell asleep.
There is so much pressure these days, and after finally dealing with Famas and Yanis, I can finally relax a little.
It was not night now, and it seemed inappropriate to go back to the bedroom to sleep, so I simply came to the library.
Find a book you don't like to read in the library, read it a few times, and sleep soundly.
This was his secret technique for treating insomnia in college, but he didn't expect that he could still use it in another world.
This is four hours of sleep.
When he woke up, the sky outside the window had darkened.
Seeing that dinner time was approaching, Roland planned to go directly to the restaurant while the provincial maid grandma was looking for someone.
Just as he was about to stand up, he saw a dwarf copying books opposite him.
It's Mr. Groggs.
He was a little embarrassed to invite the dwarf engineer, but he was very busy these days and didn't pay much attention to him.
He hurriedly walked up to the dwarf and said with a hint of apology: "Mr. Groggs, I have been busy with mundane things these days and have not taken time to accompany you. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, it will be quieter if you don't come. I will still have to take the time to read and talk to you if you come."
Groggs scratched his messy hair, looked up, and grinned.
Roland also smiled. Technical talents like Groggs really don't like to be disturbed.
"That's right, but it's still a bit rude. Are you still used to staying here these days?"
"Fortunately, Lord Roland, your library has such a rich collection, I'm a little reluctant to leave."
There was something in Mr. Dwarf's words, and he seemed to be hinting at something.
If it had been a few days ago, Roland would have beaten the snake and followed the stick and made Mr. Dwarf an offer that he could not refuse, asking him to stay and build an alchemy workshop.
But not now.
Barony Münhausen is really a maelstrom right now.
Groggs' small body would be broken by a wave.
He shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Groggs, I suggest you take the copied book and leave as soon as possible."
Groggs was a little confused. He looked at Roland in confusion and muttered in a low voice: "In just a few days, how many books can he copy even if he has four hands?"
"Then take whatever books you want with you first and return them to me when you have the chance."
Groggs was a little confused, his eyes widened, "Lord Roland, if I guess correctly, you invited me here because you want me to stay and serve you, right?"
"I can't talk about effectiveness. My initial thought was win-win cooperation."
win-win?This was something a dwarf had never heard before.
It was obvious that the human lord in front of him did not regard him as a short monster, but as someone who could cooperate.
This was strange and not at all like how other human lords treated dwarfs.
This feeling of being treated as an equal is indeed heartwarming.
Groggs asked softly: "Why don't you continue? Do you think I am not capable enough?"
"Mr. Groggs, I have great trust in your ability. It's just that my territory has been very dangerous recently. If there is turmoil, I can't protect you at all. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Roland pointed to the bookshelf behind him and said softly: "Grogs, although it is calm now, it is the calm before the storm. I don't know when the storm will come, so I can only advise you to leave the eye of the storm."
Groggs protested: "Lord Roland, I can build various war machines. Their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of most fourth-level warriors. And I can also..."
"Grogs, let's go."
Roland cut off his words and said softly: "When my territory is stable, I will write to you and come back."
Groggs' words were cut off by Roland, but he was not angry at all.
Gnomes are both intelligent and pragmatic.
They can clearly identify who is good to them.
Roland didn't drive him away, but asked him to go out to avoid trouble.
If Roland didn't respect his knowledge and didn't regard him as a friend, how could he be so concerned about his safety.
He believed Roland knew how much a dwarf engineer could help in the defense of the fortress.
However, Roland did not let him stay to help defend the city, but asked him to go home to save his life. He remembered this friendship.
Roland didn't want to talk nonsense and just asked him to pick out the book and take it back to someone to copy it slowly.
Books are wealth, but sometimes they are also a burden.
Although he tried his best to deal with it, he was not sure at all.His current strength is too weak. Once the World Tree is discovered by other forces, the sword hanging above the head of Baron Minhausen will fall.
Only the elves and druids will protect the World Tree, and other forces will use the World Tree as a precious magic material to make magic props.
If the Druid religion cannot withstand it, it will be difficult to save the World Tree.
There are no eggs left under the overturned nest. If the aftermath of the fight for the World Tree spreads casually, he, the unlucky lord, will have to be buried with him.
Roland has decided that if things go wrong, he will knock Melanis out without hesitation and let Granny watch her run away.
The reason for not bringing Egilina is simple. She is covered by the Stargazer Club and is not directly involved, so she will be fine.
The other little shrimps would probably be fine, but the three of them were doomed.
