After rebirth, buy the elf princess for one gold coin

"Lord Roland, save me!"

Lily thought about it for a long time and finally decided to put aside the red tape and get straight to the point.

We are all adults, so speak directly.This is not China. You have to talk in roundabout ways and watch your words carefully.

Before coming to Gruul, she inquired about Roland's detailed information.

Her evaluation of Roland was simple, that is, he could not be evaluated.

When facing people who are beyond the scope of evaluation, any words are redundant and it is better to be frank.

Lily's bet was right.

Roland really doesn't like red tape, he likes directness.

Seeing Lily's anxious expression under her calm appearance, Roland knew that she was really in trouble.

He did not rush to express his position, but turned his questioning eyes to Yanis.

Yanis has been to many countries, her understanding of the mainland countries is better than his, and she knows many people. He wants to hear her opinion.

Princess Lily made a special trip to ask him for help. This favor can be helpful, otherwise people will think that he is too cold and offend others.

But it all depends on when to help, how to help, and to what extent.

What he asked was not whether he could help, but whether the person was worth helping.

He didn't want to help White Eyed Wolf.

Agnes understood Roland's mind, nodded solemnly, and vouched for Princess Lily.

Seeing that she was so sure, Roland felt relieved.

"Your Highness Lily, if you encounter difficulties, please ask me for help, and I will help you. Please speak up if you need any help."

Hearing Roland's promise, Lily's hanging heart finally dropped. She stood up, pinched the corner of her skirt and performed a standard royal lady ceremony, and said softly:

"Lord Roland, I can't make promises on behalf of my father, and I don't dare to deceive you, but I will truthfully convey this kindness to my father. Please rest assured that we, the country of Oro, have always treated people with courtesy and will never treat our friends badly."

She didn't promise anything, but she made Roland feel sincere.

If you don't consider the difficulty of cashing out, why would you care about the price?

Only those who are willing to deliver on their promises will consider whether they can deliver.

Princess Lily told the story of her sister's disappearance as quickly as possible.

Roland thought for a long time and said slowly: "What is the approximate strength of your sister and maid?"

"The maid Lorna is just average. Although my sister is young, she has level four strength and her basic skills are very solid."

"But there is very little actual combat experience?" Roland asked rhetorically.

Lily bit her lip and nodded helplessly.

Not only very little, but zero at all.

Naturally, it was impossible for the palace guards to use their full strength when fighting her, so my sister was extremely confident in her personal strength, even a little inflated.

Roland turned to ask Yanis, "Will it cause any noise if you take her away?"

"A dead princess can't do it. A living princess has difficulty, but you can give it a try." Yanis has always been straightforward when speaking.

Princess Lily was frightened when she heard these words, and she clenched her hands again.

Seeing that Lily was so frightened that she lost her mind, Roland smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, the enemy must know the true identity of Her Highness Lucy. Killing the little princess who has no inheritance rights is meaningless and will only anger your country."

"This was a long-planned kidnapping, and the timing was so precise that it makes people think deeply."

Lily suddenly shook her head, her eyes turned red, she gritted her teeth and asked in a trembling voice: "You mean, there is a mole in my team?"

"I did not say anything."

Roland put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "This is your housework, let's not talk about it for now. Your Highness Lucy was traveling in my jurisdiction and was kidnapped by gangsters. Naturally, I am responsible."

"Your Highness, please come back and I will give you the answer tomorrow morning."

Princess Lily stood up in surprise and thanked Roland. Seeing that Roland had no intention of going to the crime scene to look for clues, she reminded softly: "Lord Roland, do you want to go to the scene and have a look?"

"No need. I'm not good at investigating cases, and going to the scene is a waste of time. If you can't see the problem, Your Highness, I certainly can't see it either."

Lily's expression was a little stiff, but she concealed it well.

Lord Roland has many capable people under his command, so he must let the professionals do it.

Seeing her worried expression, Roland pointed to the sky and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the stars will tell me the answer."

Princess Lily was ecstatic. She thought of the scene where Roland was stared at by the Star Goddess, and she instantly felt relieved.

If you use the stars in the sky as your eyes, you have opened your heavenly eyes, so there is no problem.

She thanked him again and again before leaving.

After Princess Lily left, Yanis asked softly: "Roland, can you really ask the goddess to help find someone?"

"No, the goddess is very busy and has no time to pay attention to the ants. Don't worry, I have my own way."

After sending Yanis away, Roland closed his eyes and sent the power of his soul into the Star Observation Hall.

The hall was empty, but he knew Stevenson was there.

"Mr. Stevenson, I need your help with something."

After a long silence, a lavender figure appeared from behind the ajar door.

Roland looked back with a slightly stern expression.

Is this still the cheerful and cheerful stargazer Stevenson?

He seemed to have aged hundreds of years instantly.

Looking at Roland's surprised look, Stevenson smiled bitterly and said: "Is it weird? If your dream that you have been looking forward to for 500 years is shattered, your life-long efforts become a joke, and you are not favored by the goddess in the end, it will be the same for you."

"No, I'm different. I don't care about God's favor. I only believe in myself."

Roland said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you fail, just get up. If you fail once, get up once. If you fail a hundred times, get up a hundred times. Even if you fail 250 times, it doesn't matter. There is hope in life."

"If you give up, you are really dead."

If this kind of poisonous chicken soup talk were normal, Stevenson would definitely disdain it, but looking at Roland's calm and calm eyes, he believed that Roland would really do this.

He understood instantly.

Roland's unpredictable fate is not because he is favored by the gods, but because he has been reincarnated many times and stood up from a pool of blood again and again.

That was a fate 250 times heavier. Why should he observe it?

He stood up straight and laughed.

After an unknown amount of time, Stevenson very solemnly put his right hand to his chest and thanked Roland.

"Roland, if I can still have some success in this life, it all depends on your words. Tell me, what help do you want from me?"

"Find me someone, Lucy, the little princess of Oro Kingdom."

Investigate?

Who the hell wants to investigate the case? I'll just open my eyes.

Stars, tell me the location of the gangster!I'm going to praise him.

Chapter 074: Repaying kindness without repaying information

"Locke Chamber of Commerce?"

Upon hearing Stevenson's calculation results, Roland narrowed his eyes and his murderous intent flashed away.

This gang of gangsters is a bit interesting. Others are hiding under the lantern, but they are better off just riding on the lantern.

The Locke Chamber of Commerce Chapter is located across from City Hall and is a long-time partner of the Gruel Municipal Government.

They are indeed very courageous and insidious.

If a few moles came out of the city hall and killed the little princess and buried her in the courtyard where Roland lived, Roland wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.

But they never imagined that the stars in the sky were silent and just looking at them with their eyes open.

Stevenson did not dare to deduce the fate of the gods, and could not calculate the weight of Roland's fate 250 times. It was still easy to deal with these little bastards.

Since he met Roland, his deductions had been repeatedly frustrated, but he finally felt proud for once.

The old guy seemed to be showing off his skills to Roland, using many algorithms such as cards, astrology, and joint solution formulas to arrive at a consistent conclusion.

The enemy is in front of you, the enemy is around you.

The enemy is right in front of you, so it's easy to understand. These grandsons tied the little princess to the opposite side.

Why is it that the enemy is right next to you?

Roland understood that this meant there were bad people in City Hall.

A lord is a master who enjoys various privileges in the territory, but territorial officials are not necessarily directly responsible to the lord. Some officials in important territories are dispatched by the empire's center.

Gruul City is an important commercial city with two ports under its jurisdiction. Of course, the empire center will not completely hand over such an important place to Earl Gruul.

Officials here are appointed by the central government.

In order to avoid the backlash of local lords, compromises were also made in the appointment of officials. The appointed officials were jointly negotiated by the central personnel department and local lords.

These officials received salaries from the imperial capital and bonuses from local lords.

It was not difficult for wealthy lords to win over local officials.

As long as the bonus is greater than the salary, the person who issues the bonus has the final say.

Many of these officials must have been bribed by Count Gruul.

Although they didn't have the courage to confront Roland directly, they had the courage to dig a trap to frame Roland.

The Gruul family has been operating here for generations and has bribed many officials.

Roland was originally not interested in this, but he needed mature administrative officials. The low-level municipal officials in the three baronies in his family were not capable enough to support future development needs.

It’s hard to come to Gruul City, so I have to bring something back with me.

Princess Lucy's kidnapping could help him screen officials.

He will never accept officials bribed by the Gruul family, but innocent officials can be used.

Just as Roland was about to leave, Stevenson stopped him.

"Roland, although it's a bit hard to say, would you feel presumptuous if I invited you to become the 13th Star Warlock? You are the person chosen by the great goddess, and we welcome talents like you."

Stevenson's old face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and did not look at Roland.

No matter what choice he had, he couldn't say this.

Looking at Stevenson's flushed face, Roland nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"I'm interested in the stars and it's an honor."

Stevenson raised his head suddenly and asked in disbelief: "You don't mind?"

"Mr. Stevenson, so far, the Stargazing Club has provided me with a total of approximately 15.344 gold coins in cash and material assistance. Miss Egilina has been even more dedicated in helping me and won me the position of Viscount."

After a slight pause, Roland said calmly:

"I know what you want to say. The original promise was not fully fulfilled. But so what, I am facing such a dangerous situation, but the Star Gazing Club has not completely cut off from me and is still investing additional money. I am very grateful."

"I don't know how to thank you for all the investment. What's the difference between me and a white-eyed wolf?"

"In the eyes of some people, 61 points is a high score, which means qualified; 99 points is a low score, which means it is still a little short of a perfect score. But I am different. In my case, 99 points are higher than 61 points."

Roland said calmly: "Mr. Stevenson, you will never regret this investment, I promise."

Stevenson squinted his eyes and said slowly after a long time:

"I am old, and the future belongs to you and Egilina. When the war is over, you and her come to the headquarters, and I will personally host the Star Warlock certification ceremony for you."

Roland nodded and smiled, "Mr. Chief, I'm going to rescue people. See you at the headquarters."

Stevenson nodded with relief and watched Roland disappear into the void.

He sighed softly, his eyes filled with regret.

Roland was very polite, but politeness also meant alienation.
