Ms. is a term used for women whose marital status is uncertain. Is her marital status difficult to tell?
She doesn't want to be called Ms., this kind of address that suggests she is married is absolutely unacceptable!
Roland smiled and changed the address.
"Fighting for you, Miss Lina!"
The two looked at each other and laughed happily at the same time.
After laughing for a long time, Egilina stopped smiling and said softly, "I remembered the past when I was your nominal master. It was obviously a year or two ago, but it seems like a long time ago."
"When I'm with you, a lot of things always happen, and time seems to be sped up."
“That’s probably…”
"The whirlpool of fate." Roland helped her finish the sentence.
The vortex of fate is an astrological term that describes people or organizations that stir up the fortunes of everyone in the entire plane.
Obviously, Roland is such a person.
Egilina needs support, but she would rather not have support that does not affect the overall situation but comes at a serious premium.
Let’s not talk about whether the neutral factions are united. Even if they are united, they will not be able to help Egelina win the election.
In the history of the Stargazing Society, once no one wins the majority of votes, they will resort to consultation, co-governance or even physical means to resolve the problem.
As long as there is only one candidate left, there will be no need for voting.
This is also the reason why Roland promised Sophia that the power transition in the Stargazing Society would be bloody.
Unless the neutral faction directly sides with Leo and Chris, no one can hope to win by votes.
In that case, what’s the use of these tickets?
"What if they all really side with Leo or Chris?"
Egilina asked, somewhat worriedly.
This was the outcome she least wanted to see.
"It's simple. Take out Mr. Stevenson's will and forcefully demand to take over the Stargazing Club. Anyone who dares to object will be shot on the spot."
Roland calmly said the words that would cause a river of blood to flow.
No one has ever said that the Stargazing Club is a private enterprise, but no one has ever said that it is not. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
His ultimate goal is to seize the Stargazing Society. How to seize it is just a means and is not important.
Egilina's eyes narrowed, but then became concerned.
"But our fighting power is not enough."
"Even if you can deal with two level six warriors, my strength can only guarantee that I will not be killed by a level six warrior. Leo and Chris have been prepared for a long time. There may be more hidden masters than we thought."
She sighed somewhat unwillingly and said softly, "It's a pity that Janice's identity is sensitive and Melanie doesn't like fighting. It would be better if they were here."
Roland knew that she wanted to know the real trump card, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is a mysterious assistant whose strength is no less than theirs."
"A fight to the death in a small space like this ends when the head is beheaded. Protect yourself and I'll take care of the rest."
Egelina opened her mouth, but ultimately stopped herself from speaking.
Roland caught her hesitation and asked with a smile, "Any questions?"
"No, no more."
Seeing Egelina's evasive look, Roland stopped smiling and looked serious.
"Lina, if you unfortunately die in battle, only a demigod-level strongman can revive you. By the time I drag your body back to Gracia, I'm afraid it will have already stank."
"Even if it doesn't stink in the ice coffin, it's cold."
"No, please don't say such scary things." Egilina didn't like to hear this. According to the average lifespan of the demons, she was still very young and didn't want to die.
It's smelly and cold. Can it speak?
"Since you don't want to die, then be frank. Are you worried that you can't protect yourself?"
"Well, I was embarrassed to say it just now, for fear of affecting your momentum."
"Your aura will be gone only if you die."
Roland looked at Egilina seriously and reminded her softly, "We are comrades who fight side by side and trust each other with life and death. This is a decisive battle to decide life and death. You must be frank."
"I'm sorry, I'm a little worried. You know, I've never been very good at fighting. When we were acting, I was almost killed by Granny's axe."
Egilina's cheeks flushed, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Some people can exert combat power beyond their realm, while others find it difficult to exert even the most basic combat power within their own realm.
Egilina is quite powerful, but what she lacks is the fighting skills and the courage to fight her way out between life and death.
But it doesn’t matter. After all, all she needs to do is not be killed in the battle.
Roland clasped his hands together, and when he opened them again, a translucent armor made of unknown material that looked like gold or jade appeared in his palms.
"【Unbeatable Embrace】, put on this armor, and you won't be killed unless you want to kill someone."
Before Egilina could react, the armor had already landed in front of her.
She was about to refuse, but Roland stopped her with his eyes.
Since we are all facing life and death together, it would only seem hypocritical to say these polite words.
She held up [Unbeatable Embrace] in both hands and injected magic power into it.
When she felt the characteristics of this armor, she was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed.
This is not a special equipment tailor-made for her, but a special equipment made for this battle.
As long as she doesn't attack, all attack-related abilities will become defense.
While possessing extremely high defense, as long as the enemy is stronger than you, [Unbeatable Embrace] will automatically release a shield based on the strength difference.
If [Unbeatable Embrace] determines that the wearer has a high probability of being killed, it will actively self-destruct to create a super defensive barrier.
In order to break this barrier, several times the amount of damage must be inflicted.
This is not [Unbeatable Embrace], this is simply [Protection of the Cowardly].
This piece of equipment is of no use in normal combat, but it is like a divine weapon when you just need to save your life.
Use the right equipment and skills at the right place at the right time.
This was the admonition that Stevenson often gave to Egelina, and now she had a clearer understanding of it.
The teacher is right.
Although her life was safe and she had full confidence in Roland's ability, Egilina was still a little worried about his lack of fighting power. Just as she was thinking about how to remind Roland not to underestimate the enemy, footsteps were heard outside the corridor.
The footsteps were so clear that they were reminding them that I was coming.
Roland's mouth corners slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "The fighting power you want is here."
It is not difficult to make this judgment.
Wumian transformed himself into a phantom and invisible existence, coming and going like smoke. It seemed that he was doing this to keep a secret, but in fact, it was a bit of a show of skill to raise his own value.
Those who hide their tracks here are even more likely to be sold at a high price.
Simply put, if Egelina can't offer a high price, he will find someone else.
Even if we don't find her, at least we have to use the presence of Leo and Chris to put pressure on Egilina.
This behavior of creating an "I'm in high demand" atmosphere to increase one's own value is very common in modern business society.
Even if it is a sow, its value can increase several times as long as someone wants it.
What's more, the neutral faction does have strength.
A purely commercial act.
This is Roland's evaluation of Wumian.
Shameless price gouging.
This is Egilina's evaluation of Faceless.
Unlike Roland's calm and even cold-blooded attitude, Egelina grew up with a teacher and has an extraordinary affection for the Stargazing Club.
She could not accept the behavior of turning the teacher's utopia into a vegetable market.
She would rather be covered in blood or even die in battle in the Star Palace than accept such shameless price gouging.
She looked up at Roland and said softly, "Roland, if I choose to be willful, you..."
"I will accompany you to be willful, but that does not include dying with you in battle."
The first half of the sentence moved Egelina to tears, but the second half made her hold back her tears.
The footsteps in the corridor were getting closer and closer, and just as Egilina was wondering who was outside the door, there was a knock on the door.
"Ms. Rose, I'm Xinghuan. May I come in?"
Egilina never expected that the fourth seat [Star Ring] would come to see her so openly, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
She was stunned for three full seconds, until Roland couldn't help but kick her, and then she suddenly woke up.
She quickly came to the door, welcomed [Star Ring] in, looked around, and quietly closed the door.
[Star Ring] is the fourth seat of astrologers, ranking above Egilina.
According to the rules, even if he took the initiative to meet Egilina, he had to be invited to take the seat. However, [Star Ring] did not go to the main seat in the center, but found a seat opposite Roland.
The simple seating arrangement implies a lot of profound meaning.
Egilina lowered her voice and asked, "[Star Ring], did Leo and Chris see you coming over here so directly?"
"I came in through the main entrance. As long as they have eyes, they can see it."
[Xinghuan] looks to be around 27 or 28 years old, but he is actually much older. He has a pale face and his eyes look a little cold, but also very peaceful.
His answer left Egelina speechless.
"If this bothers you, I'm leaving now."
Egilina quickly stood up and tried to persuade [Star Ring] to stop, and explained with a smile: "That won't happen. I'm just worried that they will hate you in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that there was something wrong with what she said, so she quickly changed her words and said, "I'm sorry, the teacher's death was a big blow to me, and my mind has been a little confused these days."
"[Star Ring], I understand your position, I want to know what you want?"
[Xinghuan] can come here so openly, but if we still don’t know who he supports, then he should just go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Egelina was by no means an idiot without political wisdom, but the death of her teacher was too much of a blow to her.
It was not until her teacher passed away that she realized how important this mentor who had taught her for hundreds of years was to her.
Xinghuan nodded to show his understanding. He sat back in his seat and asked instead of asking:
"Besides what Leo and Chris can offer, what else can you give me?"
"I'm sorry, the conditions I can offer may not be as good as theirs. I can only promise to put the Stargazing Club on the right track according to the teacher's last wishes."
"The chief's last wish?" Xinghuan frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "Can I see it?"
After communicating with Roland through her peripheral vision, Egilina took out the small box and placed it in front of the Star Ring.
Xinghuan's fingertips trembled slightly, and she almost didn't dare to open the box.
Roland looked at the Star Ring with a hint of surprise.
This eccentric guy who doesn't even take Leo and Chris seriously, would actually lose his composure because of Stevenson's relics?
If it is just a relationship between superiors and subordinates, is this behavior too exaggerated?
Could it be that the Star Ring was a hidden stake planted by Stevenson? If it was a hidden stake planted in advance, why didn't he mention it in his will?
The reading speed of Xinghuan is very fast.
He skipped the chapter where Stevenson established his own character and went straight to the most crucial part.
That was the difference between him and Egelina.
It is also the difference between rationality and sensibility.
After reading the entire diary and Stevenson's will, Xinghuan put away the box and took out a note from his pocket.
