Chapter 191 Tool For a Quest

A princess?

Isnas was a city of princesses . It was normal that a princess lived here .

However, he and the princess differed too greatly from each other . Why would she ask for him?

Was this butler-like middle-aged man a phony?

However, Roland found it unlikely after thinking for a moment .

He was a Mage, and few people dared to deceive Mages .

Besides, he was a player that could be resurrected . Even if he was killed, he would lose nothing more than some EXP points and equipment .

However, since he was in a hurry to meet with his partners, he was going to turn the butler down, when he was stunned .

It was because he saw a quest notification: “Listen to the princess’s worries . ”

That was a blue quest .

Roland was rather excited… Finally! He had finally triggered an important quest for the first time . Luck was on his side this day .

Before, Betta had always been the one who triggered quests, and he could only look on enviously .

His friends would certainly forgive him for being late if he were occupied with a quest .

“Okay, lead the way . ” The butler was obviously relieved when Roland accepted his request .

The butler invited Roland to a carriage nearby . Then, he got into the carriage himself and escorted Roland into a heavily-guarded castle .

Then, in a study that was decorated fully in a girl’s style, Roland met Princess Evelyn .

The princess was very pretty, even prettier than Vivian .

But of course, she was not as beautiful as Margret, or the female angel that Roland met at Falken’s funeral .

Evelyn had blond hair and blue eyes, a typical look for nobles .

She seemed to be only around fifteen, but she was very calm and patient . Her body figure was quite attractive too .

However, Roland felt that the princess was incomparable to Vivian in terms of body figure .

A beautiful porcelain cup was delivered to Roland, half-full of golden fruit wine .

The maid bent before Roland softly and left .

Princess Evelyn sipped the fruit wine and smiled . “Mr . Roland, thank you for accepting my invitation . ”

“Princess, you’re too kind . ” Roland sat confidently and stared the girl in the eyes . “What do you want to talk to me about?”

Such a straightforward way of conversation was considered rude in the social occasions of the nobles .

However, Roland was a Mage, and the proud Mages were well-acknowledged to be queer and unapproachable .

So, Evelyn was not surprised at Roland’s bluntness at all .

“Was the big fireball that made everybody in the city feel that hell was arriving last night your masterpiece?” .

Was she going to hold him accountable?

But Roland still nodded . He didn’t think that Princess Evelyn would give him a hard time . After all, the name of the quest was “Listen to Princess Evelyn’s worries,” not “Survive Princess Evelyn’s hunt order” or any other battle-type quest .

“It was truly a horrifying view . My fingers are still shaking even now . ” Evelyn put on a weird smile .

Roland was curious . “Did you see it too?”

Evelyn slowly nodded .

Last night, she couldn’t fall asleep, so she had some snacks on the balcony outside of her bedroom .

She was enjoying fruit wine and some delicious cake when she sensed the frightening congregation of magic elements in the distance .

She turned around only to see an enormous blue fireball falling somewhere from the city wall .

The deafening explosion almost made her choke on the cake . She patted her chest a long time before she finally managed to swallow the cake .

Even so, her face was still red due to shortness of breath .

After that, she saw the tsunami of fire . Her nightdress was fluttering in the hot wind even though she was three kilometers away .

It was not hard to imagine how powerful the attack was .

“I don’t know who your enemy was, Mr . Roland, but I’m sure that they must be very regretful right now . ” Roland smiled . “I think so too . So, what exactly are you trying to say, Princess?” He found the princess too talkative .

The princess glared at Roland and said helplessly, “Actually, I heard about you before, Mr . Roland!”

Roland was rather puzzled .

“Young Bard is my cousin!” Evelyn smiled . “He talked to me about you a while back when he visited me . ”

Oh, that explains a lot . My identity has been dug out after only one out . The royal family is truly good at intelligence gathering . “Speaking of Bard, I’m planning to visit him in the capital,” said Roland with a smile .

It was truly his plan to ask Bard in the capital about long-distance teleportation spells .

However, it never occurred to him that Bard was related to the royal family . But it did make sense on second thought . Bard was from a grand noble family in the capital . It was not unusual that his family was related to the royal family by marriage .

“He told me that you’re capable of Language Proficiency,” Evelyn said in admiration . “He said that you picked up the spell by yourself!”

Roland nodded . “But it’s not perfect yet . ”

“You’re too modest, sir . ” Evelyn stood up and fetched a book from the shelf behind her . “I was wondering if you could translate something for me . ”

She opened the book and turned to a page that had a golden leaf as a bookmark .

Among the page of Hollevin words were a few sentences written in Elvish .

“This has been bothering me,” Evelyn said sincerely . “They’re ancient elvish scriptures copied from elsewhere . Only three people in Hollevin understand them, but I’m too insignificant to ask for their help . However, if I can’t understand these sentences, I can’t understand the following content . Who does ‘she’ refer to in the book?”

Just that? Roland cast Free Communication on himself and the princess .

“You can cast your spell on other people?” The princess’s beautiful eyes stopped briefly on Roland’s face, before she lowered her head and read the elvish scriptures . “She was the queen of a dynasty, the first demigod of the elves . She had been a rogue, a general, and the strongest summoner . Her name was Cocoyala, the most beloved daughter of the world tree!”

The sentences were short, but Roland sensed a long history behind the words .

The princess closed her eyes and then slowly opened them . “So, she was the queen of the elves . No wonder she did so many awesome things as a woman . Is it true that the elves once governed the world? Does her tomb exist too? Ah, how I wish I could see it . ”

However, Roland’s attention had been distracted by the system notifications .

Quest: ‘Listen to the princess’s worries’ completed .

“You’ve received 244 EXP points . ”

Evelyn’s fondness has been increased by ten points .

Huh? It was the first time that an NPC’s fondness was mentioned in the quest notifications . Was this NPC very important?

While he was still surprised, a new notification popped up .

New quest detected: Origin of the Elven Queen (Main Quest) . Roland’s eyes bulged . This quest was a gold one, and it was suffixed with “Main Quest . ”

He had never known how to pick up the main quest after it was interrupted . Little did he expect that he would resume it here .
