"Ah? Yes, but they are all ordinary." Se Lian did not say what the equipment was, just said it was equipped. She waved her hands repeatedly, "I really have a talisman. I have already taken Senior Roland's stargazing staff for free. It is impossible for me to take Senior's things for no reason again." "Then just have a reason?" Roland took out another Golden Tree's Favor +2 from his luggage and threw it to Selian. This thing was simply the supreme honor for others, especially for Knight Rodel, but it was like a toy in his hands. There was no way. It would be easy for him to ask his mother for the badge bestowed upon the warrior by Queen Marika. He said, "Take it. The journey will take twenty days. This thing can increase your energy. We will travel together next. Your poor physical strength will slow down the progress." "This...the favor of the golden tree? Or plus two? You just gave it to me casually?" Se Lian's eyes were dull. He knew that Roland, as a noble of the Golden Tree, was not short of money, but this was too much wealth. The grace of the golden tree? Everyone who gets this badge will treasure it and will never sell it. It is absolutely priceless.
Roland waved his hand, not caring at all. "Take it. What's your intelligence? Is it enough to hold the Stargazing Staff?" "Twenty-three, but I have an amulet that increases my intelligence, so I can pick up the astronomical staff." Se Lian replied. "The legend of the stargazing girl?" Roland instantly remembered that there were two amulets that increased intelligence. He immediately rejected the first one and chose the second one. It couldn't be Marika's Corruption Mark, that thing was hard to obtain, and the legend of the Stargazing Girl was not uncommon in the Magic Academy, many people would wear it, after all, it was the deed of the Full Moon Queen, and it was easy to make. Well, the amulet is nothing. He looked at the black-haired girl, her delicate face expressionless, as if the words just now were not said by her. "You've only gained a little intelligence in a month, Se Lian. If you tell others about your talent, many people will be envious." "That's still not as good as Senior." She shrugged, moved closer to Roland, and stared at his profile. "Senior's intelligence is already high enough to be a star. When can I catch up with him?" "I was... Never mind, let's go." Roland and she injected magic power into the teleportation magic seal. After a slight sense of weightlessness, they opened their eyes again and saw a straight road. The road is paved with stone slabs, with stone pillars and woods on both sides. If you look up slightly, you can see the Yatan Plateau. This is the east gate of Rhea Lukalia. The teleportation seal has reduced their journey time by one third. In the game, this bridge is completely abandoned and broken into several sections, but some people still use this road. When Tolina went back, she took a carriage and took this Perum Avenue. Roland climbed onto his horse and said, "Let's go. If we're quick, we can reach the elevator in four days." "Don't you need to rest in between?" Se Lian asked. "It counts." Roland rode in front, while Selin lagged behind a little. Because she was not skilled, Roland had to teach her some techniques so that both of them could move faster. Fortunately, this road is always patrolled by soldiers, clearing out wild monsters and demi-humans, allowing others to pass smoothly. There are many pedestrians coming and going. During the heyday of the Golden Tree, this road was an important trade route. It can be said to be the only passage from the royal city of Rodel to Lake Lienia, Stonewell City, and Gelid.
He had not thought of it before, but now Roland thought that a hotel should be built near this road, which would not only increase income for the Golden Tree, but also provide services for people passing by. Instead of him and Se Lian running around until late at night, they could only have a hasty rest around a campfire. Don't even think about any ambiguous atmosphere. After running around all night, Se Lian was so tired that he almost fell asleep as soon as he lay down. Roland had better physical strength, but he didn't fall asleep immediately and was still on guard. Fortunately, there were several soldiers on guard nearby, and many people around chose to rest here. -------- In the royal city of Rodel, after the night banquet, Tolina and Marenia slept in the queen's boudoir all night, one on each side, hugging their mother's arms. The next day, early in the morning. Queen Marika looked at the two children, rubbed her temples, and felt that the task of coaxing the children had to be left to Godwin. She went inside the golden tree, leaving the two children huddled together on the bed like two kittens. By the time Tolina woke up, the golden tree was already shining brightly and it was almost noon. Marlenya sat on the bed, opened the envelope, and read the letter carefully several times, word by word, not missing any details. Torina yawned and lay on her legs. Judging from the body shapes of the two, Malenia looked more like the older sister. "What did your brother write to you?" "He said that when I get better, I can go to the magic academy to find him and he will take me out for a walk." The corners of Marennia's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and she held the letter against her chest. Her cold temperament disappeared, as if she was infected by Roland, and she gave off a beautiful and dazzling smile. Her neck was long and slender, and against the backdrop of the modern long skirt, her girlish look was overflowing. Her slender wrists to elbows were covered with white gauze gloves, hiding the scarlet corruption on her right hand. ------------ PS Thank you all for your votes, Blades, and the spicy strips of Amon, the one who doesn’t understand. Chapter 22: The Dark Little Room and the Grounded Girl In the morning light, the golden tree slowly emitted light. The sky was dim, but the surroundings were still a little dark. Roland had woken up long ago. He took out the dried meat that was as hard as twigs and boiled it into meat porridge in a pot. The times are still too backward. People are used to living a hard life and never think there is anything wrong with this kind of life. He brought a lot of dry food, so there was still a lot left over after two people ate it. Seeing that the meat porridge was almost ready, Roland looked at the black-haired girl beside him. He could sleep directly in the wild, but Se Lian couldn't. Even having a straw mat was better than sleeping on the ground. If I catch a cold and get sick from sleeping on the ground, it would be a long time before I could complete the mission. He came to the girl and whispered, "Se Lian, don't sleep anymore, we have to hurry." "Yeah, I know." She frowned, forced herself to stay asleep, crawled out of bed, smoothed out the wrinkles on her wizard robe, tidied up the straw mat and quilt, and tied them to the horse's back.
Selian sleeps very well, hardly moves, and occasionally turns over. In comparison, Tolina's sleeping posture is much worse, and Marennia has to sleep with her head resting on his arm and hugging him. And he doesn't stay in bed. He gets up as soon as he is called. She packed up her things and sat next to Roland, looking at the contents of the pot with a raised eyebrow. "So much, can you finish it?" "It's not just for the two of us. How much do you want to eat? Serve it out. I'll give the rest to the soldiers on guard. They haven't slept much tonight." Roland pointed at the Rodel soldiers over there. "Yeah." Se Lian showed no emotion towards Roland's behavior, but in his heart he thought that this person was indeed very interesting and he did not make a mistake in his judgment when he enrolled in school. Ordinary Golden Tree nobles would not care about the lives of a few soldiers, but Roland did and even sent them meat porridge. She took the meat porridge, scooped up a spoonful, brought it to her mouth, and gently blew away the hot steam. "good to eat." In his sight, Roland was chatting and laughing with a few soldiers, distributing meat porridge to them, and several soldiers were scrambling to help him clean the pot. He returned with a clean pot, sat down, and ate his portion. Se Lian stopped and stared at him. "What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Roland felt a little creepy when he was stared at and put down the spoon. "It's delicious, better than the food in the cafeteria." Se Lian retracted his gaze and continued eating breakfast. "That's good." The two of them finished their breakfast quickly and continued their journey for the day. On the other side, the royal city of Rodel. After getting out of bed, Torina had one last thing to do, which was to deliver a letter to Melina. Unlike other people's letters, Melina's letter was very thick and it was unknown what was written in it. She wanted to open it and take a look, but finally she held back and went to the forbidden area with the letter. This was something only she could do, and Marenya didn't even know about it. Torina changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, disguised herself as Michaela, took the letter, some delicious candies and snacks, and headed for the elevator in the forbidden area. The others may not have the authority, but as the second prince of the Golden Tree, he can definitely pass. The elevator was dark and filled with turbid air. The bottom of the disc was engraved with patterns. Tolina took a deep breath and prepared to jump in one direction. The room where Melina was imprisoned was inside the elevator. There was no light around and nothing could be seen clearly. If Roland hadn't told her, who would have found Melina? She first swore an oath on a golden tree to avoid failure and falling down, which would be very painful. one two three...... If I have the chance in the future, I must learn the ability to fly, I can’t just jump like this.
Close your eyes and jump hard. Landed smoothly! Tolina opened her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood steadily in the passage. It was narrow and long, with a candle in front of the door, illuminating the passage. A golden noble was sitting opposite them. When he saw Tolina, he immediately bowed and opened the door for her. Luckily, she was pretending to be Michaela. Only a handful of people have been here. If Roland hadn't run away, he wouldn't even have told Torina about this place and asked her to visit Melina on his behalf. In the end, Melina, Mongette, and Monger were all looked after by Torina and Michaela. She walked into the room, which was filled with various books and some stone tablets engraved with the Golden Law prayers. Although it was not her first time, Torina was still a little amazed. There was a dagger and a holy mark on the large table. Behind the table sat a young girl with loose flaxen short hair. She looked younger than Malenia today, about fifteen years old. The sound of the door opening attracted the girl's attention. She raised her head, temporarily woke up from the book, put down the quill, and a smile appeared on her face. "Torrina?" "Hi, it's me! I'm here to see you!" Torina waved her hand, smiled sweetly, and put snacks and candies on the table. She sat on the other side of the table, "What is little Melina doing?" "Well, Brother Godwin told me many stories before. I want to compile them into a book. Even if I can't spread them, they can stay here." There was a hint of longing in her eyes. It was so lonely here. There was nothing except books. In the past, only Roland would come to see her, and before he left, he asked Torina to check on her. During those days, the time he spent telling himself stories became even more precious. Melina's eyes lit up when she recalled the time when Roland held her in his arms, sat on his lap, and listened to his stories. Unlike Tolina, Malenia, Monggot, and Monger, there are only guards who cannot communicate, and limited books and slates. In Melina's world, Roland is the only light she can touch. Torina was silent. She could somewhat understand Melina, so she took out the envelope and pushed it to her. "Take a look. I went to see my brother recently. This is the letter he gave you." "For me?" Melina was a little surprised, and her surprise could not be hidden between her eyebrows, and her joy was conveyed to Torina through her brows. Brother Godwin hasn't forgotten me. She took the letter, with a smile on her face, opened it and read it slowly. "It's like seeing you in person. It's been a long time, Melina. I think you must be bored, so I wrote something for you in my spare time. You can just read it and kill some time. I'll put it in the back." The following are all words of concern for Melina, and some trivial matters are mentioned in passing. It is a very ordinary letter.
She read the letter with a smile on her face, and took out the parchment at the back, which contained a short story. But, reading and reading... Melina's eyes changed, because Roland was interrupted, and the story was incomplete, only half. Torina next to her was so curious, why did Melina's eyes become resentful? I was very happy just now. She asked cautiously, "Can you show me what your brother wrote to you?"
