Compared to Li Lin, who was chomping at the bit to conquer the world, Roland and his friends seemed more like prodigal sons hurriedly packing up their household in anticipation of an impending storm, preparing to leave home for a distant journey. By comparison, it only highlighted Roland's poverty, embarrassment, and dishevelment. However, even in such an unpromising situation, Roland did not lightly give up on his ideals. He tried to foster the birth of a new way of thinking and a new political system and strived to protect this system so that it could endure. To realize this dream, unrealistic in the eyes of many, he not only boldly reached into the pockets of the high-spirited rich, but on every possible occasion, he also wanted to coax the fickle Goddess of Fate—who had always been flattering to Li Lin—to his side.
