After all, no matter what, no matter how prosperous the city is, there will always be a dark side, such as some unmotivated ruffians and hooligans.

And Roland, their team of men and three women, was naturally targeted.

However, it was clear that they were completely looking for abuse, and without even Roland's intervention, Merlin cleaned them up fiercely.

And this little episode made Beatrice more aware that Roland's strength was far higher than her.

After that, Roland and the others continued to play.

After visiting various places again, before I knew it, the sky had completely darkened.

However, it is not a big city, and there are lighting equipment everywhere in this Lu'an city, and it is still brightly lit.

It's already time like this, and Roland naturally doesn't want to trouble Beatrice anymore and let her hurry home.

By the way, as a token of appreciation, Roland and the others also bought some gifts for her, albeit just ordinary things.

Of course, she insisted that she didn't want to accept it, and said that she was making amends for Betty's business, not for payment or anything.

However, at Merlin's insistence, she had no choice but to accept it.

Roland, on the other hand, returned to the luxury hotel where they had booked their rooms.

This room is of course also a deluxe room, on the top floor of the hotel, not only quiet, but also from the window you can see almost the entire night view of Lu'an City.

The facilities in the house are also very luxurious, anyway, Roland has never lived in such a high-end hotel in his previous life.

Even Roland was satisfied, not to mention Mei Lin and Xiaoyu, who were all excited to take a look in the room.

Mei Lin used to live in a small cabin, and the hotels she had lived in before were several times more ordinary, so it was naturally the first time she had seen such a bustling room.

And Xiaoyu, although she used to work as a maid in the high city of the Goya Kingdom, but this kind of lady-level room, I just look at it on weekdays, where is the opportunity to live?

So, overall, this time it can be considered good value for money.

……

Before you know it, it's late at night.

After a day of walking, Mei Lin and Xiaoyu were both a little tired, and they had fallen into a deep sleep at this time.

The corners of Merlin's mouth grinned slightly, maybe she had some kind of dream, right?

Xiao Yu is curled up, although her expression is calm, but maybe she didn't sleep as well as she imagined?

As for Roland, he was sitting by the window, looking boredly at the street scene.

It was late at night, and although the lights were still on, the shops were closed, and the streets were almost empty.

However, the reason for this "almost" made Roland a little curious.

Because, Roland, who has night vision, can see very clearly that the group of people who are still walking on the street at this point are the few ruffians and hooligans he met in the afternoon.

And it didn't look like they were going to do something late at night, because there was no one on the street but them.

Of course, the main reason was that they seemed to have a destination, and they walked straight in one direction until they disappeared from Roland's sight.

Although he was a little curious, he hadn't reached the point of tracking it yet, so Roland didn't think much about it anymore, but continued to look at the sky in a daze.

"This starry sky is exactly the same as the Earth, and speaking of which, how many nights is this?" Roland muttered in his heart, "It's been almost two months, right?" I haven't slept for so long, and I don't feel sleepy, slimes are really weird creatures......"

"Two months, from uneasy to calm now, it feels like time flies so fast, turning around and becoming a slime or something, it's really like a dream......"

"But isn't it too leisurely now? In the past, the traversers seemed to work hard to become stronger, what is their source of motivation? Why don't I have the motivation to get stronger now? ”

"I obviously know that this is a pirate world, there are pirates, admirals, world governments, ancient weapons or something, but I always feel that they are so far away, I can't feel a sense of crisis at all."

"Do you need something to stimulate yourself? However, I don't really want something to spur me on......"

"No, if you continue to slack off like this, something will definitely happen! Gotta give yourself some motivation! ”

"Do you want to set a small goal? When to be One Piece or something? ”

"Forget it, the motivation that can be brought by a goal that is not interesting at all is definitely not optimistic."

"What else can you do if you're not a pirate? Or, learn from the Moe King? ”

……

Just when Roland was thinking about life, in the orphanage not far away, it was not so peaceful.

"Whew—it's finally done," said Mrs. Harriet, yawning, and smiling with satisfaction as she looked at the garment she had knitted.

Just as she was about to put it away, she suddenly heard a strange movement outside the house.

"Has anyone woken up?" She thought to herself, a little confused, as she opened the door.

"Ahem!" As soon as the door opened, a puff of smoke came to her face, and she couldn't help coughing a few times.

Choking a little uncomfortable, she barely opened her eyes, and what she saw was a sea of fire!

Although the fire is not very big yet, it is spreading wildly.

She hurriedly ran to Betty's room and shouted, "Hurry up! A few of you! ”

"Huh? Is it dawn? Mary rubbed her eyes, a little confused.

"It's weird that I've only been asleep for a while," Paddy said.

Betty rolled over, "Let me sleep a little longer, and I'll be fine for a while......"

Claire was different, she continued to fall asleep, not at all woken up......

"Don't sleep! It's on fire! Harriet ran to their bedside and shook them awake one by one, "Get out of here!" ”

"Huh?!" Betty and the others were taken aback, and although they were still a little confused, they got up as fast as they could, and they didn't care about anything, so they ran directly to the door with Mrs. Harriet.

"The exit is there! Hurry up and run! Mrs. Harriet continued to shout as she ran to the door with the children.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a huge beam fell in front of them, and although it didn't hit them, it blocked the exit.

And the passage to the back door, as well as the window, were already in a sea of fire at this time, and there was nowhere to escape.

Mrs. Harriet held her four children tightly, the light of the fire shining on their faces, and the shadows swaying with the flickering of the flames.

The sound of everything burning echoed in my ears......
