Chapter 259 Lily
"I'm Roland. Roland Nirola."

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

"Eh? 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's the truth... I'll find a seat and sit down first."

Like a good-natured mercenary passing by, Roland was not angry, just smiled and took his hand out of her warm little hand, and stroked 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: "Hurry up and report the dishes ordered by the guests!"

"Woo...Okay, okay, I'll go now..."

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

Seeing that she finally left, the girl let out a sigh of relief, and bowed slightly to Roland apologetically: "I'm sorry for the guest...she has such a temper..."

"No, actually I quite like this kind of straightforward temper."

Roland paused, and said sincerely.

Except for those enemies who really violated Roland's taboo, in terms of character, what Roland hated the most were people who were greedy and gave up hope.

Although from the perspective of the opposite sex, Roland prefers strong and intellectual girls, but as a good friend, Roland likes to make friends who are straightforward and simple like Lily.

The reason, maybe because same-sex repulsion.Roland deeply knows how annoying people like him are, but he won't feel good about his kind because of this.One of the typical examples is Farina who was supposed to be the elector of the Eternal Sleeping Mentor.

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 has long been 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 always feels wrong to say that it is an ordinary thug, but it is not enough to say that Roland is a leader-level boss.

It's like the system stamped on Roland - Roland is just an "elite", not a leader.

This made Roland always act vigilantly, leaving as many escape paths as possible for himself, and his daily decisions were not considered long-term.

Because that elite template has been reminding Roland: You are just a mortal, don't think too much.

Even if they are chosen by the gods, they may die if they are abandoned.Otherwise, Farina should be able to live until the end.

To be honest, Roland's thinking about approaching Lily is 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 Ilbilitu, the one who made the covenant.

As the youngest daughter of Viscount Cthugya, she survived Titan's coup d'état and the subsequent world war, and was finally captured by the covenanter with her pure and innocent heart, and almost became the covenanter's saint .

Roland felt familiar the first time he saw her.But he didn't dare to admit it.

Because in Roland's impression, Lily didn't look like a rigid wizard at all.But now that he saw Lily, this feeling of disobedience was even stronger.

Regardless of 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, the priests of the Three Saints have a permanent alliance. If she follows the original development track, she is likely to become a very close person to Roland.

A lie must be covered with ten lies.Roland didn't want to face her with a fake identity for someone who might have more contact with him in the future.

And Roland has another idea...

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

Although compared with the Covenanter, the Eternal Rest Teacher may not be suitable for her here-but her talent as a pastor can also be proved, which can fully make up for Roland's dilemma of having no one on hand at the moment.

The most important thing is to establish a good relationship with the Pope who made the covenant through Lily.

Let me think about it... the Pope of the Covenanter, where should he be in this era...

Just as Roland bowed his head in thought, Lily, who had delivered the menu, turned around and sat opposite Roland with a smile.

"Hello...Roland? May 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 suspicious gaze, Lily said in a slightly reminiscent tone: "You are as good-looking as him, and you both have a relatively similar temperament... Moreover, the meals you ordered are exactly the same."

"Speak up, talk up!"

Lily seemed to have thought of something suddenly, excitedly slapped the table and stood up, leaning towards Soraya: "By the way, Dinah decided to go on a trip after chatting with that guest!"

"Why is this! Dinah doesn't know the details of that person, how could she go out with him!"

The boy with round glasses stood up in a panic: "No, I have to go find her..."

At this moment, the wizards nearby laughed and made cheers of "Oh~" and "Oh~".

The booing grew 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.Sorolla's eyes lit up, and he raised the butter beer in his hand without hesitation and gulped it down.

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

Probably only at this time, there will be a little tavern atmosphere here.

"Idiot Soso...Dinna didn't follow that handsome guy!"

Lily put her hand on her forehead: "It's just that the handsome guy said, it's best not to stay in the White Tower for a few days, and go on a trip for a few days..."

Um?What's the meaning?
Did he know something was going to happen to the White Tower... Was it a priest who slipped his mouth?
Roland couldn't help frowning.

"Lily, do you know the 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 it a Bansa man, about 1.9 meters tall, with platinum blonde hair and lake blue eyes? It feels like a living statue."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily moved to Roland's side, "Roland, Roland, do you know that handsome guy?"

"Ah, of course..."

Roland narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Sira is the Cardinal of Tyre, in charge of the Ring of Slaying.In the end, after Jupiter IV entered the book, Xila was the boss of that copy.It can be said that he was the second trusted cardinal of Jupiter IV.

Did he even come?Originally, the collapse of the White Tower should have nothing to do with him...

However, Roland remembered that Xiela should have obtained the Ring of Killing three months after the collapse of the White Tower... Has history changed?Or does 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 didn't wear a hat, but when he walked in from the wind and snow, his beautiful platinum curly hair was not messed up in the slightest.

Ha... I really can't bear to talk about it.

While cursing secretly in his heart, Roland showed a bright smile that was almost exaggerated.

Then, he waved at Xi La.

　9000 words... I'm sorry I can't do it QAQ
