The woman's voice was sharp and high, filled with fury.
But the gate of the manor was closed, and nobody even came out to look.
They seemed to be used to such things.
Roland and Andonara observed the situation at the gate of the manor from behind.
At first glance, these dozens of private soldiers seemed to be well-equipped and wearing leather armor. They seemed rather imposing, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that their faces were a little sickly yellow and their bodies were a little thin.
In addition, their equipment seemed to be very old.
"Has the eldest son-in-law's sister come to us?" Roland observed for a while in the carriage and put down the curtain, before he said, "Why don't we go back and come back later?"
Andonara said with a smile, "No, there's a secret passage on the right."
"How do you know?" Roland was rather curious.
"Stephanie told me," said Andonara with a smile.
Roland was slightly surprised and subconsciously raised his eyebrow.
Generally speaking, such secret passages were used for escape, and they wouldn't be told unless they were particularly trustworthy.
Even more unbelievably, the two of them had only known each other for a few days, and Stephanie had already told Andonara about the secret passage!
Was Stephanie a naive girl?
Not likely.
After a few days of contact, Roland already had an intuitive impression of Stephanie.
She was a fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful girl with above average abilities.
She wasn't as charming as she was, but she wasn't an idiot, either.
Even though she was a bit arrogant because of the environment she grew up in, she knew how to self-examine and compromise.
She wasn't bad among the young nobles.
Why would someone who wasn't stupid tell Andonara such an important thing as the location of the secret passage?
Was it because Andonara was too approachable?
Roland looked at the cute and helpless woman next to him.
He didn't think it was likely.
So … women's friendships developed so quickly?
After only a moment of consideration, Roland tossed the matter aside.
Roland was good at math, but he didn't think he could understand women's logic.
Einstein said, "I can understand the theory of relativity, but I still can't understand women."
Then Confucius also said, "Only women are difficult to raise."
These two big shots, one intellectual and the other scientific, were both the top figures in human history. Even they couldn't understand women, so Roland didn't bother to think about what Stephanie was thinking.
The manor was very large. The cave came to the right side of the manor through the square-shaped forest.
After they got off the carriage, Andonara asked the coachman to leave first. Then, she led Roland through the gloomy woods for a long time and found a bracelet on the ground that was full of leaves. She pulled out a dim tunnel and closed the tunnel after they entered. Then, she led the way.
The tunnel was filled with the stench of sand and stones.
After walking for about five minutes and walking up about five meters from a spiral stone building, they pushed the door open, and then they saw Stephanie standing in front of them in a low-cut white dress.
The dress was light and looked like a nightgown.
Stephanie was quite happy to see Andonara. She hugged her and held her hand with a smile. "I knew it was you who came from here. Thank you for forgiving me."
Andonara nodded. "As long as you don't sow discord between me and Roland, we can still be friends."
"How would I dare?" Stephanie smiled bitterly and then said to Roland, "Thank you for forgiving me for my stubbornness earlier, sir."
Roland waved his hand. "You're welcome. I did it for myself."
Roland was referring to the epic quest. It would be a shame not to take such a huge amount of EXP.
Stephanie had only slightly instigated the relationship between him and Andonara. It was a bit annoying, but it wasn't a big deal.
Besides, Andonara had apologized earlier. It would be a shame to give up the reward of the epic quest just because of that minor frustration.
Stephanie, however, didn't believe it. She felt that Roland only did it for Andonara's sake.
Holding Andonara's hand, Stephanie twisted her slender waist and walked forward in a hurry. Her curves were obvious in her pajamas.
Roland was a little behind. He looked at the backs of the two women in front of him and subconsciously compared them.
He found that the two of them were about the same height and waistline, but Andonara's beautiful bright golden ponytail almost reached her ankles and seemed to be faintly glowing, which added a lot of points to her beauty.
Then Roland heard Andonara ask, "I was making noodles just now and saw someone blocking your door. Was it your ex-husband's sister?"
"No." Stephanie shook her head. "My dead husband was an orphan in the first place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him marry into my family. I just didn't expect … Forget it, let's not talk about my ex-husband. The woman outside is one of my father's mistresses. Otherwise, I would've killed her. Her brother, at the end of a banquet, actually groped me in the dark, and I had his two eggs burst on the spot. Normal men will only suffer for a while when they lose their eggs, and then become eunuchs. But her brother was too weak, and he died after his eggs burst. "
Roland felt uncomfortable all over.
Andonara chuckled. "That's how you should deal with men who grope you. It's a pity that I only broke their hands before."
"You're the queen, and yet someone dares to grope you?"
Andonara heaved a sigh. "The old king was very cold to me, so many big shots didn't think much of me."
"But now that you're a Legendary Great Swordsman, I don't think anybody dares to mess with you anymore." Stephanie dragged Andonara into a big room. After Roland came in, she clapped her hands and said to the butler, "Bring the best wine, fruits, and pastries here."
The butler took the order and left.
Roland sat down and took the opportunity to ask, "Your Highness, have you collected any intelligence about the deaths of the deputy chairman of the Association of Mages and General Lewis?"
"Nothing." Stephanie shook her head and said, "I even went to Alfred's great-grandpa yesterday, and he said that there were no traces either. But I didn't tell him that you detected the residue of magic elements. "
That was understandable. The residue of magic elements in the bodies of the victims had to be related to Mages in any case.
It was barely possible that Alfred was the murderer, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't keep certain critical information to himself for the sake of the Association of Mages' reputation after learning the truth.
Roland frowned and was about to ask more questions, when he received a system notification that somebody had left a message and pinged him in the guild chat.
He opened the system menu and saw Schuck's message.
Schuck: "I've found a very interesting piece of information. The First Princess killed her husband not because he cheated on her but because of something else. Can you ask her if it's possible? My intelligence team has just been established and isn't very experienced. It's already not bad that we've found this far. "
After a brief daze, Roland raised his head and looked at Stephanie.
Women were very sensitive to men's gazes, and Stephanie was no exception.
She, who was talking to Andonara in a low voice, suddenly turned around and looked at Roland. She asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Andonara looked at Roland curiously, too.
Roland thought for a moment and decided that there was no need to hide it. After all, it was Stephanie who asked for his help, so he said, "As I said earlier, I know Schuck."
Stephanie nodded. "I believe you."
"For some reason, he's also investigating these things," said Roland.
Stephanie's expression suddenly changed. "The Holy Realm is involved in this too? What are they thinking? "
It was no wonder that Stephanie's expression changed. For almost two hundred years, the Holy Realm had been very tolerant and indifferent.
Now that they were investigating this, was it a sign of some changes?
"It's not the Holy Realm, but Schuck's personal investigation," Roland explained. "As I said just now, this matter has something to do with me too, and I'm not lying to you. This involves some secrets of the Golden Sons, and I can't say it. "
Stephanie glanced at Andonara. In fact, she was tempted to say something provocative like "Can't you even tell Anna?", but the previous lesson was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't dare to do anything rash.
Roland wasn't stupid. He knew what Stephanie was thinking just by looking at her eyes. He said, "Even if I say it, you won't hear it. For example, capitalism …"
Stephanie's expression was very strange. She just heard a lot of beeps, which Andonara wasn't surprised at all.
Andonara, on the other hand, wasn't surprised at all. Back in Delpon, when Roland was chatting with Hawk, Link, and a few of his friends, she often heard such noises when she was around.
"You Golden Sons are really weird." Stephanie clicked her tongue. "This seems to be a law-level intelligence block."
Roland shrugged. "Then, my friend Schuck asked me to ask you why you killed your ex-husband. He was very curious. "
Stephanie didn't look very happy. "Why is he investigating this?"
"It may have something to do with this."
Stephanie hesitated for a moment and said, "It's fine if he wants to know, but we have to make a deal. Can you arrange for us to meet him? "
"I'll ask!"
Then, Roland left a message in the guild chat system. Less than a minute later, Roland said, "Okay, he agreed. We'll meet in an hour at the Moonlight Stone Tavern."
Stephanie's eyes widened. "Wait, you didn't even go out or use magic, how did you get in touch?"
"We Golden Sons have some special means of communication."
Stephanie's pretty face frowned slightly. She looked very jealous. "You guys are immortal in the first place, and now you have special means of communication. This is too outrageous."
Roland opened his hands.
"Can I join you, or can your bloodline be adopted to our side?" asked Stephanie.
She wasn't the only one who was curious about this question.
Everyone was curious.
Who didn't want the ability to be immortal?
But until now, no one had been able to find the secret of immortality from the bodies of the Golden Sons.
