Chapter 340: 340

Chapter 340 Leave Them Be

By Roland’s estimation, more than three thousand people had been blocked at the city gate, and still more were coming, which caused a traffic jam . If it were the information age, people would’ve protested against such an unreasonable order, and whoever was in power would be blamed .

But in this world, the whole Encart City belonged to the mayor, and when he closed the city, the civilians did not really have a justifiable reason to argue with him .

Even Andonara and Vivian didn’t feel anything was wrong, not to mention the common citizens .

But Roland didn’t really agree with them .

He was not aggravated . Instead, he simply asked, “Can we go?”

At this point, Andonara suddenly grabbed Roland’s left arm, as if she was worried that he would do something .

“Sure . ”

Naturally, the city guards dared not stop a Mage and two women who were apparently nobles .

They left the city from a side gate, and Andonara finally released Roland’s arm a little bit .

Under the shade of the tree, Roland looked at Andonara’s obviously anxious face and asked, “Were you scared that I would attack them?”

Andonara nodded . “I know what you did in the past . As far as I know, you’ve blown up two city gates . I feared that you will blow up this one too if you get too upset . ”

“Am I really so unreasonable?”

Andonara peeped at him . “None of the Golden Sons are really sensible . ”

“That’s just a misunderstanding . ”

“I’ll be damned if I believe you . ” Andonara mocked him .

Vivian looked at them enviously . She wanted to talk to Roland naturally like Andonara did, but as an unmarried girl, she was more reserved than Andonara was, who was more open-minded in certain aspects .

For example, she slept in Roland’s bed every night, taking advantage of the fact that Roland needed no sleep as a player .

When they came to the open-air opera house, they found that a lot of carriages had arrived .

A team of about twenty soldiers was even guarding the entrance .

When Roland arrived, the captain of the guards looked at him and let him through .

In the opera house, Roland saw that the three rows in the front had been taken by people in decent clothes who seemed proud and intimidating .

Roland and his companions attracted most people’s attention upon their arrival .

After all, their outfits were too eye-catching . Roland was wearing his magic robe, which granted accessibility to most places, and both Andonara and Vivian were cute and beautiful . Naturally, everybody noticed them .

Roland looked around and ignored the nobles . Instead, he went to the musicians .

At this point, the musicians were chit-chatting and enjoying snacks .

When Roland came, Britney was talking to a female player . She stood up and smiled . “You’re here!”

Roland looked around and asked, “Are you not going to perform?”

“Why would we?” Britney sneered coldly . “We won’t until the audience are here . ”

“Impressive!” Roland raised his thumb and asked, “Can I stay here and enjoy the drama?”

“Not a problem at all . ” Britney was very happy . “We’ll be more confident if you’re rooting for us… won’t we?”

Britney suddenly shouted at her fellows .

Then, all the players turned around and replied lethargically, “Of course . ”

Then, they resumed their own business, continuing chit-chatting and enjoying the snacks .

If they were battle-type players, they would probably greet and talk to Roland .

But these were leisure players who were mostly singers or singers-to-be in reality . They played the game for a different reason than Roland and other pure players did . They were from a different circle, so they were not excited to see Roland even though Roland was famous .

After that, Roland spoke with Britney backstage and soon got along with the other players .

Andonara and Vivian had a good time talking to Britney too .

Time flew by, and the nobles in the auditorium soon ran out of patience . They sent a servant, asking when the performance would begin .

Britney turned around and said, “Tell your master that we’re not interested in performing when the audience are too few . ”

The servant was about to burst into fury, but seeing that everybody here was a professional, he held himself back and returned .

Very soon, a young man in glamorous clothes arrived with four soldiers .

He looked at everybody backstage and asked, “May I know which of you is Ms . Britney?”

Nobody replied to them . At best, they simply glanced at him and continued doing whatever they were doing .

The young man’s face reddened in fury . He shouted angrily, “Where are your manners?”

Still, nobody talked to him .

The young man was even angrier . He glared at everybody for a while, before he left with the soldiers .

After he left, Britney said, “Just wait for it . Someone with a great temper will come soon . ”

“How are you going to deal with them?” asked Roland .

“We will wait,” Britney said casually, “until they’re willing to open the city gate, or we will leave three days later . There’s no need to fawn to those condescending jerks . ”

Roland smiled .

At this point, the young man returned to the auditorium and spoke to a rather intimidating middle-aged man . “Father, those Bards were unwilling to talk . They didn’t even bother to look at me . They’re too arrogant . ”

The young man was rather loud, and everybody heard him . They were all shocked .

The middle-aged man slapped his thigh and asked, “Are you not exaggerating?”

“No . ”

“Those Golden Sons show absolutely no respect for us . ” At this point, a fat middle-aged noble injected . “There are more than two hundred nobles and magnates here . Why can’t they offer service to us alone? After we leave, the bumpkins can come in . Do they really expect us to watch the performance together with those bumpkins? That would be too humiliating for me . ”

“I’ll talk to them in person . ” The middle-aged man stood up .

“That’s unnecessary . ” Another noble who had a mustache stood up and said, “You’re the mayor . Let me go talk to them . I’m the sheriff of this place and a viscount . They have to show me some respect . ”

The mayor thought for a moment and sat down .

The sheriff summoned thirteen soldiers and strode backstage .

Seeing that the players were talking and eating lazily, he immediately burst into fury .

“Do the Golden Sons have any basic manners?” The noble was so angry that his mustache was almost standing on end . “Two hundred audience members are waiting for you, and yet you’re enjoying your time here . Do you have any respect for your patrons?”
