It was not until the blond young man appeared at the door of the classroom that the corners of Se Lian's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
There was silence.
It was that Roland after all.
He sat next to Se Lian, "What's wrong? Are you still sitting in the first row today?"
"Yeah." She took the notes. Since her last conversation with Roland, she temporarily stopped studying pyroxene magic and started studying other magic.
In the past half month, Roland privately taught her the origin magic of solar storm, which was a supplement for Se Lian.
The black-haired girl paused and asked, "Wait, are you free?"
"I'm free, what's the matter?" Roland checked the time and saw that there was still some time before class started.
"I have someplace I want to take you."
She planned to take Roland to the secret room, share the secret with him, and give him everything.
Chapter 17 Hound
Time passed quickly. Roland and Se Lian took the class very seriously. They didn't make any small movements and spent the class quietly.
Since the reform of the Magic Academy, various types of magic have exploded. In the past half month, the lava magic deduced from the Gmir spell has given rise to the fire magic that Roland is most familiar with.
Ice magic also gave rise to water magic, plus the wind magic developed by Roland, plus the original magic at the border, the magic academy now teaches more than a dozen kinds of magic.
This is a bit fantasy.
It only teaches pyroxene magic and Kalia royal magic, which are only two kinds of magic. What kind of magic school is this?
When the get out of class was almost over, the two of them discussed the content of the class with the magic professor. This class was about water magic, which Roland could learn easily and apply to other situations, which silenced the old professor opposite.
"I have long known that there is a magic apprentice named Roland who is extremely talented, but I didn't expect that you are also talented in studying magic."
"Ah."
Roland didn't say much. All his research results were publicized through Lani. She knew that he didn't like to be too ostentatious, so she kept all these things secret.
He thought it was pretty good. He had free time to study magic, date Cerlian, and occasionally go to Lani's place for free food and drinks.
After talking with the magic professor for a while, it was almost time to end the get out of class.
Roland took the initiative to stop the topic and said, "Then I won't bother you any more, Professor. We have a date later."
"Ah?" The magic professor, who was originally in high spirits, seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.
He went on to say, "I wanted to invite you to have a cup of coffee and talk more, but alas, let's do it another day."
"Okay, next time for sure."
Roland took Selian away quickly, fearing that the magic professor would keep them chatting.
They haven't had a serious date for a long time and can't be disturbed at this time.
The two people walked away along the corridor. There were fewer and fewer people around them, and the wind around them blew slowly.
Roland held Selian's hand, interlocked their fingers, and felt the spring breeze blowing towards them.
"It's getting warmer."
"Yeah, the exam is almost time." Se Lian was wearing a long windbreaker that just reached her thighs, black stockings and long boots.
In fact, she doesn't care what she wears, and she usually wears a wizard's robe.
However, Roland seemed to like her wearing it very much, but was reluctant to let her wear it out.
In the end, it became an alternative compromise, wearing a long trench coat on the outside and over-the-knee boots, which just covered me up completely.
If she didn't take off her windbreaker, you would have no idea what she was wearing underneath.
It wasn't really that excessive, just a short skirt, black stockings, a lady's shirt, and a small tie.
As long as Roland likes it, it's just a little troublesome.
They entered the courtyard. It had indeed become much warmer recently. They didn't feel the biting cold wind in the courtyard. Instead, they felt a bit like a spring breeze.
Roland looked at the girl's delicate profile and asked, "How are you preparing for the exam?"
"Not bad. Being in the top few won't be a problem. As long as another Godwin doesn't show up, I'm confident that I can get first place among all the magic apprentices enrolled this year." Se Lian teased him.
"Not really. Those who have been in school for two or three years cannot beat you. Your understanding of the Kalia royal magic and the pyroxene magic is too strong."
Roland paused and continued, "As for Godwin, you don't have to worry about him. I won't be taking the exam this year."
"Huh?" Se Lian was stunned.
"Lani thought she would be too busy at that time and wanted me to help with official business, so she didn't let me take the exam." Roland
The black-haired girl nodded thoughtfully, "You two have a pretty good relationship."
"Well, it's only been getting better recently. When I first came here more than a year ago, Lani ignored me and didn't treat me as a brother at all."
Roland kicked a small stone, lowered his head, watched the trajectory of the stone, and said.
"We are siblings after all. As long as her requests are not excessive, I will always satisfy them."
"That's true. Shall we go directly there?" Se Lian was pointing at the secret room. They had made an appointment there before class.
"How about having dinner first?"
Roland turned his head and asked Se Lian what he thought, saying that they could go to the secret room at any time.
"I'll listen to you."
"So...what do you want to eat?" Roland asked her, "Go back to the royal city? Or go to Menqian Town?"
Se Lian stopped and looked at the sky. The branches and the sky each took up half, and it was about to get dark.
She remembered something and continued walking, "I want to eat what you cook. I don't want to go to the Royal City or Menqian Town."
"That's fine too."
Roland wanted to take her back to the dormitory, but Di Xi was still around, so he couldn't go back like that.
He thought about it and said, "Then let's go to Lani's place. She has a kitchen that we can borrow."
"Okay." Se Lian had a smile on his face. He was extremely stingy with his smile towards outsiders, which became his normal state when he was around Roland.
They walked through the courtyard and borrowed the kitchen directly from Lani's people, but the person who took Roland there made him raise his eyebrows slightly.
Hound Knight Darriwell.
The person who gave away an early-stage artifact in the game was called a traitor by Brother Wolf and sealed into prison.
He hasn't rebelled yet.
This brother was very taciturn and didn't say a word the whole way. Roland wanted to get close to him and ask about the situation to see if he could find out why he betrayed.
As a result, he said nothing and just said I was Lani's dog.
Hound tusks are very useful.
I would occasionally use it to play around in the third round, always trying to use the backward step of that combat skill to dodge enemy attacks.
The consequences are self-evident.
After he took Roland and Selian to the kitchen, he left without saying a word.
Miss Serenity noticed Roland's attempt to strike up a conversation and asked him, "Is there something wrong with that man?"
"Nothing, just curious." Roland shook his head, went into the kitchen and looked around casually.
Ingredients, seasonings and kitchen utensils are all available, which is much better than the kitchenette in his room.
He could feel Di Xi beside him, hugging him from behind.
Roland put his index finger in the middle of his lips, but it wasn't yet time for Di Xi to be exposed.
Miss Black Knife was sensible. She let go, found a platform and sat on it.
Se Lian took off his windbreaker, folded the sleeves with his fingers, rolled them up layer by layer, and asked.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Just wait and eat." Roland said with a faint smile.
He put on his apron first to avoid getting his black shirt dirty, then picked out a few good lamb chops, took some onions, ginger, and garlic, took Di Xi's portion, marinated them in a basin, and put them aside.
The last time I cooked with Seren was when we were on the journey to kill the subhuman queen.
At that time, everything was kept simple, with the only two cooking methods being grilling and boiling. Today, let’s just fry it.
Roland did not choose all the Chinese food he was most familiar with. On the one hand, Chinese food was very complicated. On the other hand, the Chinese food made with ingredients from the border area was not suitable for locals.
Chapter 18 Dinner
Especially the wild boar meat, which has a fishy smell and is impossible to eat without being cooked in a special way.
He simply incorporates a lot of cooking techniques to maximize the taste of the food.
This thing is common.
Roland used pork steak and crab meat. He actually didn't like eating crabs because it was troublesome and there was not much meat.
However, the crabs from Lake Lienya are different. They are plump and have plenty of meat in their legs.
Crab fried rice is ready.
He was humming a tune and busying himself in the kitchen, while Miss Serenity sat beside him with a smile on her face.
It would be nice if the future could always be like this.
Her smile was filled with happiness, and she supported her chin with both hands as she watched the young man's actions.
Roland was still planning on cooking a few dishes when he heard a loud bang at the door.
"boom!"
The red-haired girl rushed in, laughing, "Roland? I heard you want to cook?"
"Why is it so noisy?"
Roland tilted his head, still processing the ingredients, and being interrupted was nothing.
Lani smiled and said, "I am here to laugh at you. You always eat my food, you can't stop me from eating, right?"
"Mockery?" Roland blinked.
The blond young man and his girlfriend looked at each other and couldn't hold back their laughter.
Roland's cooking skills are definitely not as good as those of a professional chef, but when it comes to home cooking, it's already pretty good and is considered very delicious among ordinary people.
Lani showed a little confusion and tilted her head, not knowing what they were laughing at.
It’s impossible that Godwin can really cook?
It's impossible. He is Golden Godwin, the eldest prince of the Golden Tree. He has been living a life of luxury since childhood. How could he possibly cook?
So, when the people below told her the news, given their current relationship, Lani of course wanted to come and watch the fun.
"Sit down, I'll bring you a portion." Roland raised his eyebrows, "You can't see the joke."
The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and joking around was nothing.
He moved quickly and selected the pan-fried lamb chops, crab meat fried rice, seafood fish soup, vegetable jelly, and a cheese pie for dessert.
I had originally planned to prepare servings for three people, but now that Lani is here, I have to prepare servings for four.
Lani watched Roland's skillful movements, her lips parted slightly, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
"No, Godwin can really cook, right?"
"We were on a mission together, and Roland was in charge of the food along the way."
Se Lian nodded, "Yeah, but we rarely do it. We usually eat out."
Heidao Dixi sat in the corner, blinking his eyes, trying not to laugh, thinking to himself, "It's not a small amount, I just eat more."
Obviously the other two people were unaware of this and agreed to it.
"I never thought about that..."
Lani had a complicated expression. It wasn't that she didn't want to admit that she was a terrible cook.
