Chapter 260 I want to play a game with you
Seeing Roland waving to him, Xi La showed a distressed expression.

But in the end he did not refuse Roland's request.

"excuse me."

While apologizing softly, Xi La walked to Roland's side.Under the sign of Roland's eyes, he reached the opposite side.

Brown long gown and tight black leather jacket, platinum blonde curly hair and jet black long hair, and silver gray and lake blue pupils.Two people sat on the seat in the same posture, like some kind of weird mirror image, showing a strange symmetry.

Inexplicably, Lily felt that these two people had some kind of indescribable similarity.

"Mr. Xila! Long time no see!"

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Lily happily jumped up from Roland's side, and neatly took out a small notebook from her cuff: "What do you want today?"

"It's the same as yesterday," said Xi La, who turned her head away and smiled warmly at Lily, "I'm sorry, Miss Lily."

"What's the trouble, it's our responsibility to prepare food for the guests."

Lily replied casually, as if she suddenly thought of something, she patted her head: "Speaking of...Dinah is leaving this afternoon. If you come at noon, you can see her."

Hearing this, Xi La showed a wry smile: "Since you all told me that you will come here at night, I will naturally obey the rules here."

"Hey? Is that so... You can talk to Mr. Roland first, and I'll go to the back to help."

Probably seeing that Roland, who had been silent all this time, might have something to say to Xila alone, Lily walked to the back kitchen with the menu in a considerate manner.

"...Roland?"

Hearing Roland's name, Xi La frowned slightly.

"It's the Roland you were thinking of, Xila...Your Excellency."

Xi La heard a cool and deep voice from beside her ears, so she turned her head with a frown.

Then he noticed that the black-haired handsome young man stretched out his right hand and quickly drew a triangle on his chest, and gently placed it on his chest.

At that moment, Xi La knew that his identity had been exposed.

But Xila was not panicked.He just subconsciously touched the ring on his left hand lightly, frowning and about to say something.

But at this time, Roland read softly: "I see the light shining on you."

This is a more cryptic blessing for the priests of Tyre.After all, the wizards around were all staring at Roland and them. No matter how brave Roland and Xila were, they would not dare to say "ah, may God bless you" or something like that.

But Roland's words at this moment also mean "I don't believe in Tyre".This is also an unfriendly expression for the pastor.

"...Yes, I hope I can help you with something, Roland...well, sir."

Xi La was silent for three seconds, and finally decided to respond in a kind way for the time being.

But the communication between the two people is only to this extent.After that, the two fell into a brief silence.

Roland knew that as long as he could reveal his identity, there would be no fight.Because even among all the bishops in Tyre, Sira must be the one with the mildest personality.It can be said that Xila is a pacifist through and through.

Rather, it is precisely because he loves peace and has a peaceful mind that Jupiter IV gave him the ring of killing representing military power.After all, after the Battle of the White Tower, there was no one more suitable than him to appease the Templar Knights who lost more than half.

It was also because of this that Roland felt strange—why did Jupiter send him?Why is he wearing the ring of killing now?
...Did they already know that Elcardo had broken the seal?

After all, in the current era, among the people without the origin of awakening, the only one who can hold Elcardo head-on is probably only Sira.

Xi La is only 30 years old this year, and she has already stepped into the golden stage. At the same time, she has come into contact with her first element cornerstone, and it is only a matter of time before the origin of awakening.This degree of talent cannot be explained by genius.Roland knew that Sira was actually the reincarnation of Tyre's envoy.

It is not without reason that the gods have been searching for souls that can awaken the origin for thousands of years.

In order to prevent the sect from being disintegrated from within, the cardinal will only select souls trusted by the gods—this standard of trust means that you have to die for the gods at least once.Only when the gods have contacted their souls after death and confirmed that they are not cultists and wizards can they be made cardinals.

In some of the more extreme sects, even their popes are those two or three people over and over again.

Until the reign of the gods is over, only the popes can know part of this secret.

This is why only priests can infiltrate other people, but no one can infiltrate the sects of gods.After all, the entire ruling class is under the eyes of the gods. If anything happens, the gods can immediately notify the pope, or execute them directly.

Using this method, as long as you invest the souls of a few outstanding believers every few years, you can ensure that there will never be a shortage of talents in your sect.

The best of these souls receive the attention of the gods even at birth.When they were babies, they would be found by the Templars in the sect, and then they would protect and monitor them openly or secretly, and guide them to the path of faith at the right time.

As long as they reach the silver rank again, even if they die, they can return to the kingdom of the gods.

According to the established historical development, Xila will be able to enter the peak of the golden rank in just two more years, and awaken the second cornerstone element.

Among Tyre's oracles, there is only one person who has the origins described as "firm" and "clean".That was Argus, the Holy Coffin Knight who was the only one able to defend against the Elucado offensive in its heyday thousands of years ago.His origin is "non-retreat".

After Xila entered the book in the future, the two most valuable and rarest items in his drop list were the origin element of "firmness" and the defensive stance. Shield of Inevitability.

Almost all the more useful defense-oriented formulas have the description of "firm"... Compared with the "steel bone" Solanworth who reached the Temple of Truth at the same level, it is obvious that Sira is easier to single-handed.

Therefore, until Roland crossed over, Xila still belonged to a hard-working boss who was pushed every week.

So after Roland saw Xiela, he actually felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.

Compared with the two bosses Marco and Falina, Roland still met with Xila more often.

"...I want to play a game with you."

After pondering for about ten seconds, Roland suddenly proposed: "One question per person."

Xi La was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"it is good."

He nodded and simply agreed.

Coincidentally.Xila has made a vow of truth, so she cannot tell lies all her life, and at the same time, she has the supernatural ability to see through the other party's lies.

So it would be an advantage for Sira if neither party could lie.

After all, with his character, he doesn't bother to lie, and he is not good at lying.

But not the same as usual.The difficulty of this quiz game is actually in another place.

Because there was a wizard next to the two of them, and they were looking over curiously, looking at the gentle but cold conversation between Roland and Xi La.

If you don't want to cause trouble, two people must ask questions in words that only the other party can understand, and the answer is the same.

"Did you learn my name from Claude?"

Roland asked unceremoniously first.

After a little hesitation, Xi La nodded slightly: "That's right."

"Then, Mr. Roland... what do you think of people like the South Wind Ring?"

"We can't live together," Roland replied without hesitation, and then asked immediately, "How long will it take for you to come here?"

Suddenly, Sira fell silent.

Not a cultist, which means that Roland is a druid.

But... Roland's second question, Xi La didn't dare to answer.

What Roland asked was their total attack time.

Subconsciously, he clenched his hands slightly, his upper body involuntarily leaned forward, and his whole body became more upright.

As if trying to distance himself from him, Roland leaned back and almost sank into the soft seat.

This question is too confidential.As long as he is not stupid, he will definitely not be able to tell Roland the total attack time.

Therefore, Xi La hesitated whether to terminate the game directly.Or think about whether there are any loopholes that can be used to fool the truth...

"Let me change the question."

When Roland spoke suddenly, Xi La was relieved.

But he didn't know that his "not answering" brought a lot of information to Roland——
