It thought of a way to stop Roland from committing suicide.
Human men change a lot after getting married. Family and children can make human men full of fighting spirit.
Roland is married, but this is far from enough. I heard that this guy still has no children.
The Evergreen World Tree calmly granted Roland a non-combat power.
【Yuqing】
The possibility of having offspring with tree elves is greatly increased.
This is a surprise little gift for Roland.
Volume 239: City of Freedom: Chapter : I Can Die Even If I Hear the Truth in the Morning
How high is the Guardian's status?
This can be seen from the 180-degree change in attitude of the high priest Alvin.
Although Alvin longed to become the new guardian and believed that he had advantages over Melanis, the World Tree had already made its choice and she would never object.
She did not jump out like the stereotypical villain in third-rate novels, yelling hysterically and delivering battle records to the protagonist in a frenzy.
She gently gathered the ends of her hair, gracefully accepted the reality, and congratulated Roland.
In her mouth, Roland changed from a "despicable outsider" to a "respected guardian."
Other officials of the Evergreen Empire also woke up from their shock and offered their blessings to Roland.
Since Lord World Tree said that Roland was once a famous young genius in the history of the elves, they certainly would not doubt it.
Although Roland now has a human appearance, everyone already regards him as a member of the elf race.
Since we are all family, it will be easy.
A grand dinner and welcome concert were arranged to celebrate the birth of the new guardian, and there were also many honorary titles.
Those who previously thought that Melanis's marriage to a human was a marriage of inferiority suddenly changed their attitude and believed that this was a happy marriage witnessed by the World Tree.
The Evergreen Elves are so realistic, and the opinions of the World Tree are their guiding principles.
No one will go against the decision of the World Tree.
Even the slightest doubt is a crime.
Roland thus became the most prominent person in the Evergreen Empire, and even major events like the princess' return had to be postponed.
Melanie had no objection.
She was very happy that Roland was respected, even happier than when she returned to Changqing to accept the crown.
When some people are happy, some people are unhappy.
While the entire Evergreen Empire was immersed in a joyous atmosphere, Sophia, who was accompanying them, was extremely disappointed.
She looked at the sixth-level experts at the dinner and was drooling with envy.
What an excellent touchstone, but it can't be used.
According to her understanding, it would be a great shame for the entire empire for the outsiders to become the new guardians. Even if the World Tree explained it personally, it couldn't just let it go, right?
At least we can have a few fights in the name of sparring, right?
Then she can use the classic excuse of "If you want to fight Roland, you have to get past me first" to gain high-level combat experience.
Unfortunately not.
The Evergreen Elves' paranoia and arrogance disappeared instantly after the World Tree spoke.
"Are elves really arrogant?"
Sophia raised her glass, muttered to herself, and drank the wine in the glass with some annoyance.
The sweet taste made her mood even worse.
Bah, bah, bah, this sweet thing with an alcohol content close to zero can be called wine?
Seeing Sophia's frustrated expression, Roland knew what she was thinking. He raised his glass and toasted Sophia from a distance, using his mouth to imitate silent words.
"Don't panic, I'll help you find a solution."
Since Roland is a guardian, it is not difficult to arrange a few friendly competitions.
The arrogance in the bones of the elves will never change.
They could accept that a former genius of their tribe was recognized by the World Tree, but it was different for Sophia.
To be fair, although everyone can accept him as the guardian, they may not be completely free of resentment.
For example, the high priest.
She couldn't fight Roland against the will of the World Tree, but sparring with Roland's guard knights was another matter.
Sophia is very pretty, but her personality is similar to Granny's, both are war maniacs.
High Priest Alvin looks stronger than her, and even if they are sparring, the intensity of the battle is estimated to be quite high.
Roland raised his glass and walked towards the high priest at a corner of the banquet.
It can be seen that she could accept the fact that she was not chosen as the guardian, but she could not hide the disappointment in her heart.
It's normal to think this way. Even though Roland is of the same race, he is very different from himself.
Seeing Roland coming, the high priest quickly controlled his facial expression and faced Roland with an impeccable and elegant smile.
"Master Guardian, do you have something to ask me?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my guardian knight wants to spar with you."
The wine glasses clinked lightly in the air, and the high priest responded to Roland's toast very politely, but firmly rejected Roland's request for a competition.
"My Lord Guardian, I am the high priest. You must know that the high priest's duty is to promote the goddess's teachings and spread cultural arts and knowledge."
"Regarding matters concerning the battle, I suggest you discuss it with the general."
Smiling, polite, yet a little distant.
This was the high priest's attitude toward Roland.
He is worthy of being a high-ranking noble of the ancient Elf Empire, as he can act so elegantly to keep people at a distance.
In his heart, Roland gave Alvin full marks for his manners, but he would never give up.
"Ms. Alvin, don't rush to refuse. In your opinion, how does my strength compare to yours?"
"The Lord Guardian is now at the peak of the fifth level, right?"
"You're right. I still lack some accumulation before I can make a breakthrough." Roland did not hide it.
"You were once the greatest genius of my clan, and you are also the guardian chosen by the World Tree Master. In time, you will surely be much more powerful than me."
Look at this person's art of speaking.
Roland complained silently in his heart.
If it were Granny, she would probably say directly that you are no match for me now, but Alvin expressed the same meaning very implicitly.
If it were any other upper-class elf, he would definitely leave tactfully at this moment.
When smart people talk to each other, they understand each other immediately. There is no need to be so rigid.
But Roland did not intend to retreat.
He smiled and said, "So, I am not as good as you now?"
Alvin didn't say anything, but just took a sip of wine to show his agreement.
Roland is not an ordinary peak level 5, and Alvin is not an ordinary level 6 that can be found everywhere.
Given the gap in realm, it is hard to say whether Roland will win against Alvin.
After all, he is still young, and Alvin has been practicing for hundreds of years, so the gap in accumulation is too big.
Given a few more years, Roland would definitely be able to surpass the high priest, but not now.
Alvin thought to himself that her attitude was not friendly and the Guardian would probably walk away in anger.
However, how could Roland leave so easily without achieving his goal? He smiled and nodded, "The high priest is right. Your current strength is indeed superior to mine."
There was a barely perceptible fluctuation in Alvin's eyes.
Although it was true, she didn't expect Roland to admit it directly.
"To be honest, I'm asking you for help this time. The woman named Sophia is nominally my knight, but in reality she's the princess of the Fran Empire. She's a martial arts fanatic and always likes to challenge me to martial arts competitions, which annoys me a lot."
"You know, I'm not sure I can win against her. To reduce the trouble, I'd like you to give her a good beating so she can rest for a few days."
"Flan Empire?"
A sharp light flashed across Alvin's brows, and his voice was mixed with a hint of murderous intent.
"Since she is the princess of the Fran Empire, I have no choice but to take action."
Roland did not ask about the feud between the Evergreen Empire and the Frank Empire, and the record of this period of history in the Book of Epoch was rather vague.
But one of them is an ancient human empire, and the other is an ancient elven empire, both have a history spanning several eras, so it is normal for them to have some hatred against each other.
Alvin raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice, "How does the Guardian want me to beat her?"
"Don't kill or maim, do whatever you want."
"I understand. Thank you, Lord Guardian, for providing the opportunity to compete with me."
Alvin emphasized the word "discuss" very much, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Roland suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he quickly reminded:
"Take it easy. If Sophia dies, Lord Changqing may not be able to revive her. She is the princess of the Fran Empire after all. Don't cause a diplomatic incident."
Alvin nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Before she finished speaking, she put on light green silk gloves with gold lace edges and walked towards Sophia.
Roland looked at Alvin, who was full of fighting spirit, and Sophia, who was still unaware of the situation, and laughed inwardly.
Sophia, the high-level battle you wanted is here.
I hope you can catch it.
He did not go over to listen, but just saw Alvin very elegantly inviting Sophia to a knight duel using ancient aristocratic etiquette.
Sophia was surprised and delighted. She gave Roland a look that said "you're awesome", quickly took the gloves thrown by Alvin, and accepted the invitation to duel.
Everyone else at the dinner party was a little confused.
High Priest Alvin's temper is not particularly good, but he knows when to act and rarely fights with others unless they provoke him.
Why did she take the initiative to cause trouble this time?
In any case, since both parties agreed, the duel was set.
The duel was scheduled to take place under the Evergreen World Tree.
With the World Tree watching, no one would be killed, and they could put all their efforts into a satisfying duel without any regrets.
Masters like Sophia and Alvin are always in the best physical condition and do not need to burn incense, bathe or fast to adjust their condition.
They are in the best condition when they take action.
Now that we have decided to fight, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.
Sophia was so happy that she finally had a sixth-level expert to spar with her and immediately asked to start.
Since she was so eager, Alvin certainly had no reason to refuse.
The two came to the World Tree and refused to let anyone watch, including Roland.
Needless to say, Roland had no intention of going.
In such an exciting game, both sides will bring out their best tricks and naturally will not allow others to watch.
Roland was waiting for the result of the competition about ten miles away from the World Tree.
He didn't think highly of Sophia.
Although Sophia has the same hard power as Roland, Alvin is not an ordinary person either.
