The night in the wilderness is very quiet.

The environment here is extremely terrifying, surrounded by Bai Sensen's human bones and human bone totems, and there is a stench of rotting corpses floating in the air, which is very disgusting.

But at this time, Roland did not have much fear.

In the ogre camp, he found some farming tools, including several shovels, presumably some peasants who had been captured and eaten, and then left here with farm tools.

With a shovel, Roland dug a large pit, and then, with the hands of a mage, carefully took the bones into the pit and buried them together.

The pit was buried in the pit with floating earth, and Roland made a cross with two sticks in front of the pit.

"I don't know what your names are, but you are all brothers and sisters, so it should be no problem to be buried together."

Roland let out a long breath, feeling a little heavy.

He couldn't treat the NPCs in this game as strings of data, and after more than a month of getting along, he found that these NPCs were no different from real people.

Or rather, they should be real people.

But it's a game!

Very conflicting feelings.

It was late at night, and it took him too much time to bury the dead, so he began to hurry in the direction of Red Earth.

Thinking that there was still a long way to go, Roland was a little desperate, and couldn't help muttering, "If only I could teleport magic, it would be over with a bang." No matter what, in the future, it is absolutely necessary to specialize in space magic, whether it is for fighting or for traveling, it is extremely useful. ”

Because of the traffic, Roland had already thought of the magic skills he should specialize in in the future.

On Beta's side, he rushed back to Red Clay in the early morning.

By this time the bazaar had dispersed, and he found the old couple by the lake.

The lake reflected the bright red morning glow, and an elderly couple were sitting on the edge of a small wooden house, eating ugly-looking paste, looking into the distance with dull eyes.

Beta stepped forward and said lightly, "Two old men, I've found what you're looking for." Your son is dead. ”

"My son is not dead!" The gray-haired, withered old woman jumped up and scolded: "You are so ruthless, you dare to curse our son to death, I will beat ......"

This should be the preset mission plot of the system. With this in mind, Beta pulled the shriveled head out of the system's backpack and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman's crutches stopped in mid-air, and a bright light began to appear in her dull eyes.

She took the shriveled head and held it tightly and tenderly in her arms.

"My son is back, it's good to be back." The old woman's eyes shone brightly, like a rainbow, and she held up her son's head to her husband as if she were offering a treasure: "Look, our son is back. ”

The old man smiled happily as well.

He reached out and touched his son's withered hair, and said, "Come back, I won't beat you, go home and have breakfast together, we are ready to ...... mush"

The two of them carried their heads into the room.

And Beta was next to him, and after watching this scene, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

But he couldn't say anything was weird.

The NPCs in this game are very realistic, but this reaction is too strange, shouldn't normal parents cry when they see their son's corrupt head?

This is wrong with the NPC sentiment data, it's unreasonable, it's so illogical.

With this in mind, Beta stepped back a distance and guarded the room.

According to his efficiency-oriented personality, it was time to dig into other tasks, but an inexplicable voice in his heart told him to stop and watch the subsequent development of the couple.

The hearty and happy laughter of the two old men came from the room.

This is completely different from the previous lifeless appearance.

It should be an error with the game data.

Beta muttered again, he wanted to go, but his legs were like nails that didn't stick to the ground, and he wouldn't move.

He always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't tell.

Time passed slowly, and the two old men came out of the house after breakfast.

The expressions of both of them were quite happy and joyful. The old man went to the bazaar and came back with some good food, while the old woman went to the foot of the mountain to collect a lot of firewood.

They work and eat as usual, and soon the evening comes, and there is smoke in the room, which is normal behavior, just like the logic of the behavior of NPCs in other games, and no matter what happens, they live the same life.

After observing the neighborhood for nearly a day, Beta didn't find anything unusual, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Finally he forced down the strange feeling and came to the entrance of the town.

Soon Roland also rushed back.

He is a mage, and his physical strength is naturally no better than that of a mixed professional like Beta, who has added physical fitness, and Roland has rested twice on the way, and it is already very hard to be able to rush back before nightfall.

Seeing Beta, Roland smiled: "I didn't hand in the task, I thought about it when I was on the road, it's better not to hand in the task, let the two old men know that their son is dead, this thing is too cruel, it's better to keep it a secret, so that they can ......"

At this point, Roland was suddenly stunned, and he saw that the small house on the other side of the lake suddenly burst into flames...... The sun had not yet set completely, and from his point of view, he could see a bright ball of fire, and a cluster of dazzling flames, the two juxtaposed.

"It's the James' house."

Roland shouted and rushed over. He often practiced magic by the lake, and he knew the old man, although he didn't know each other, but they would nod to each other when they met.

Beta looked at the burning house, and her face turned pale all of a sudden.

Roland rushed to the front of the house, and was about to perform an ice ring spell on the house to see if he could extinguish the burning wooden house.

But after looking at it for another second, he lowered his hand in a dejected manner.

The fire was big, big...... The wooden house was completely burned out. If someone is inside, there is absolutely no help.

Beta also ran over, his face getting paler and his body trembling slightly.

In the end, almost with difficulty, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Roland...... The head we found was the son of the old man. ”

What the!

Roland's heart also became cold in an instant.

He also stood still.

Soon the fire attracted the townspeople, and a large crowd of people gathered around, many of whom wanted to put out the fire, but when they looked at the red-hot wooden house, everyone shook their heads and gave up.

Someone muttered, "Why did James's house suddenly burn down, and who came first?" ”

"It seems to be His Excellency Roland and another noble young master."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Who knows!"

In the midst of the noise, Falken also came, and he asked Roland, "What is the matter, Lord Roland?" ”

Beta's body shook slightly, his face was frighteningly white, and he twisted his head to the other side, not daring to look at anyone.

"I found Sam's head and returned it to Mr. and Mrs. James." Roland sighed and said indifferently.

Hearing Roland's words, Falken glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

The rest of the townsfolk watched Roland and then Beta quietly, and finally they dispersed one by one.

The hut burned for most of the night, and it was almost dawn before it was extinguished.

There was only some black charcoal and smoke curling from the scene, and the rest, nothing.

'Mission completed, character experience increased by 376 points, and Red Clay Town reputation decreased by 10 points. ’

A system prompt appears in Roland's field of vision.
