"When do we start?" Lani picked up the knife and fork again and continued with dinner.
"Wait a moment."
Roland paused and said, "We need to find out the location and number of the two fingers to avoid any fish slipping through the net."
"Will you do it?" Lani asked again.
"Do you have anyone stronger than me?" Roland asked, making his attitude very clear.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
My mother's attitude is unclear. I have no idea what her plans and attitude are.
Even if he wins, Roland may get nothing. What should he do then?
Fight with your mother for the throne?
Roland would not do such a thing, and would most likely choose to go to foreign war to plunder the remaining Great Runes of the Outer Gods to use for the deification of Tolina and Lani.
He didn't want to take that step and split into two countries with the Golden Dynasty.
As for Lani, she can currently be called Roland's ally, with common interests and complementary laws.
They killed Shuangzhi, and there was no problem with the distribution of benefits. Roland would reserve a place for Lani.
When he goes to hunt the two fingers, he must be quick and destroy all of them as quickly as possible.
Roland said, "Wait a little longer. It's not just the two fingers, there are also wild beasts. Maybe one day, Malicus, whose destined death was stolen, will come to us.
When you have all the information ready, I will kill Finger and will not harm any innocent person."
"Godwin, you are indeed naive sometimes. You even want to avoid hurting innocent people."
Lani's spoon kept stirring the drink, and from time to time it would hit the wall of the cup, making a tapping sound.
This behavior is quite unladylike and beneath one's dignity, and should only be done in private.
This naive statement made Roland want to laugh.
He had just killed the Goddess of Corruption, and all the mushroom people who believed in the Goddess of Corruption and remained in the Corruption Lake were also slaughtered.
On the road to becoming a king, struggle and sacrifice are inevitable, but...
As a former Ah Ti, he failed to protect his witches, so how could he possibly attack them now?
Roland shook his head. "It's not that I'm naive, but I don't want to hurt the Finger Witches. They..."
"They are the Finger's most loyal followers. Even if you let them go, they won't thank you. They might even become a hidden danger."
Lani drank the drink in one gulp. "Are you really going to let the Finger Witch go?"
"......Yeah." Roland nodded.
"Forget it, whatever you want." Lani said she didn't care. Roland would be the king in the future anyway, and it would be his headache.
"When we're ready, I'll come get the hunting finger knife. Until then, I'll leave it to you." Roland finished eating everything and prepared to leave.
Lani turned her gaze towards the box, nodded, and watched the blond young man leave.
After talking with Lani, I seemed to have some free time all of a sudden, as if nothing was happening.
Roland returned to the dormitory, and the moment he opened the door, a familiar feeling came over him.
Sitting on the couch, he felt the weight beside him.
"Your Highness, you are full, but I haven't eaten anything." Di Xi lay on his chest with a playful look in his eyes.
"What do you want to eat?" Roland hugged her. "There should be some food in the refrigerator. You can eat whatever you want."
"I want to eat you, honey." Dixi sat astride his waist and pressed her hands on his chest.
Her thighs were pressed against her sides, and it was obvious what she wanted to eat. She lowered her head and kissed him.
Roland was not idle in the next few days, but he had a familiar sense of security.
Studying magic, spending the evening with Miss Deasy, going out for food.
Everyday.
He drank hot tea and looked out the window.
--------------
Magic Academy, Chamber of Secrets.
Ever since he found out what was in the mine passage, Se Lian decided not to go there for the time being and completely closed the passage leading to the underground.
After she finished organizing the manuscript of today's research, she looked at the results and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She has studied the achievements of both masters and has reached the most critical step: whether to harm other magicians and turn them into star seeds.
They just didn't take this step, so the research has not been effective.
Se Lian leaned back on the chair, with her long, thin legs stretched out, staring at the ceiling.
"What should we do? Go find Roland?"
She still remembered what her senior said at that time, that pyroxene magic was definitely not the best choice.
But what she is best at is pyroxene magic, and the magic she is most talented in is also pyroxene magic.
What should we do if we don't use pyroxene magic?
Now she is a qualified magician. As expected, she will definitely get the Pyroxene Stone Shield in this year's assessment.
Do you want to go find the two masters?
Since they left this secret room behind, they must have hoped that someone would discover it and inherit their research.
It’s decided, let’s go meet the two masters.
I just don’t know where they are, and I have to say goodbye to my seniors.
If you want to know where the two masters went, the best way is to ask Roland.
On her own, it would be hard to find two masters.
A week later, Se Lian came out of the secret room, went back to wash up, and changed into a long windbreaker.
She knocked on Roland's door.
A few minutes later, the blond young man walked out of the room, opened the door, and looked at the girl in front of him.
She was wearing a heavy coat, as it had been cold recently. It was ankle-length, allowing her to wear anything underneath.
"How did you come?"
"Can't I come?" Se Lian walked directly into the room, took off her coat, put it aside, revealing the women's shirt and skirt underneath, and sat on the sofa, "We haven't seen each other for a week, right?"
"Well, I'm sorry I didn't come to see you." Roland has indeed been too indulgent these days.
"It doesn't matter. I know that you also have your own research. It's only right that we give each other space."
Se Lian is too mature, even indifferent. Adults tend to spend less time together than together, and couples don't need to stick together all the time. Everyone has their own things to do.
She leaned against Roland, thinking about how to ask him if he knew where the two masters were.
Ask directly?
What if Roland wanted to stop her from continuing to study pyroxene magic?
By then, won’t this road be blocked?
It was a bit difficult to not let him know his target and at the same time find out the location of the two masters.
Forget it, let’s not talk about it for now.
The two of them casually talked about their recent research, and Roland discovered that Seren's research on pyroxene magic was almost the same as his.
Chapter 7 Where to Go
This result made Roland raise his eyebrows.
How long has it been, half a year?
As expected of a genius in pyroxene magic, Roland did not study pyroxene magic in depth, he developed it more comprehensively, while Selian specialized in pyroxene magic.
But being able to catch up in such a short time still shows Se Lian's talent.
I don’t know if there is any other assistance, but I feel that after the two masters left, the academy’s research in the field of pyroxene magic will slow down.
After all, Roland only studied pyroxene magic for half a year, and then he started to learn other magics.
Time passed quickly, and the two people's discussion on magic came to an end.
The light of the golden tree gradually faded, and it was a little cloudy outside the window. I wonder if it will rain.
Winter is already damp and cold, and once it rains, it becomes even more miserable.
"Where are we going to eat tonight?" Roland asked Se Lian, "Why don't you come back to the royal city with me?"
Now that there is a portal, it takes about the same amount of time to go back to the royal city and to go to Menqian Town.
She thought for a moment and nodded, "Then go ahead."
Se Lian picked up the coat and put it on, covering up all the beauty.
The two of them headed towards the portal together, and after a moment of dizziness, the world in front of them turned snow-white.
"It's so cold." As soon as Se Lian said this, the mist dissipated. He hugged his arms with both hands and stomped his feet. The high heels of his boots made a crisp sound when hitting the stone slabs.
Roland smiled, held her hand, interlocked their fingers, and slowly operated the Law of the Sun. "Is it still cold now?"
"Hmm?" Se Lian was stunned. A warm current flowed through her fingers, dispelling the coldness. Not only did her body warm up, but the air around her also became warm.
"Have you forgotten? I am a god now. Not only do I have the law of death, but I also have my own law of the sun. It's just a small thing to warm you up."
Roland blinked his eyes. "Very comfortable, right?"
He had already told Se Lian about the law and becoming a god, and he even mentioned to her more than once that he wanted to kill the goddess of corruption.
She laughed, stood on tiptoe, leaned against Roland's arms, and whispered, "Brother, come on, you're using the law to do this kind of thing?"
"Everything is for the convenience of life. Laws, prayers, magic, ultimately everything is a means for people to live a good life."
Roland pulled her down the west wall and said, "We still need to light a fire to keep warm. It's actually not very convenient."
"Then what would be considered convenient?" Se Lian didn't mind discussing this with him, but the next words surprised her.
“Well, every household has heat coming into the room without leaving their house, so the best way is to use magic. Sooner or later, fire magic will be born.
But maybe the price is too high, and either we reduce the cost of magic, or we switch to another method of heating, such as central heating."
Roland casually shared things about his past life, but Se Lian listened with great interest.
Sometimes she really wondered where the senior got all these wonderful ideas from.
The two chatted and laughed, found a restaurant that Roland often went to, and ordered some meals.
A fire was burning in the fireplace, raising the temperature in the room to a level where you could take off your coat.
The decoration is simple and there is nothing special about it.
When the food was served, it smelled delicious and made one's mouth water.
While eating, Se Lian asked Roland as if he was just chatting.
"Come to think of it, after the two masters were expelled from the academy, there has been no news at all."
"Well, that's true for now."
Roland didn't know why she suddenly mentioned the two masters and just thought it was just a casual chat.
He looked at the vegetarian dishes on the plate. It was rare and precious to be able to eat vegetarian dishes in such snowy weather.
"The two masters probably didn't go to the same place. They took a lot of magic apprentices with them before they left. There aren't that many places that can accommodate so many magic apprentices."
"So, you know?" Se Lian suppressed the excitement in his heart and acted very calmly.
Although he didn't know why she asked these questions, if it were the previous Roland, he would definitely know everything and tell Selian the whereabouts of the two masters in one breath. But after what happened to Tolina and Marennia last time, he became more concerned and wanted to know why Selian asked these questions before deciding whether to tell her or not.
Roland knew too well where the two masters had gone. In the end, they were both unable to move. One was lying at the end of the volcano, and the other was lying in a mine behind the town of Selia.
He hesitated for a moment, put a leaf of vegetable into his mouth with a fork, took a sip, put it down his throat, and asked slowly.
"Why are you asking that?"
