"Claudia ......"

Seeing Claudia's depressed expression, Cruvien hesitated for a long time before asking, "What happened?" Why did you kill Father Claude? ”

Claudia didn't speak, just walked in front and pulled Kruvien and kept walking.

The Mountain Shield Guardian didn't interrupt her, but gently broke Claudia's hand away and walked behind.

Claudia looked back in some surprise.

"The impact is not good."

Kruvine whispered, "Your family is still here...... If you still want to get married, don't touch my body on the street like this. I'm for your good. ”

“…… Ha, all of them are good for me. You're always like this, all for my good......"

Claudia's tone was full of mockery.

She stopped walking, and turned around like this, and whispered to Kruvien, "...... But, have you guys thought about my thoughts? Do I need you to be good for me? ”

"Protect me, clear me of hidden enemies, and preserve my honor...... One by one, they are all doing inexplicable things on their own, and it's not good to solve the problem when the problem arises? Do you have to solve the problem in advance and appear to be smart? ”

Seeing that she was almost hysterical but could only whisper a cry, Kruvien suddenly felt that this dignified viscount's daughter was even more pitiful than the nightingale of the Lock of Green Fruits.

Kruvien just silently put his hand on her head. Claudia was stunned and fell silent unconsciously.

This mountain man, who was more like a second-rate cook than a shield defender, spit out a word firmly for a long time.

"Nope."

"The reason why they do things that seem inexplicable is not because they're too smart and think too much...... Instead. It's possible that they're too stupid and think too little. ”

Claudia looked up blankly. Look into Kruvien's eyes.

Only by looking at his resolute and vicissitudes of life can you realize that this man with healthy and shiny tan hair is already a middle-aged man in his forties.

In Claudia's eyes. Viscount Claude's appearance gradually overlapped on Kruvien's body.

"Roland, your father, Claude......"

Kruvien said in a very slow voice, "They think a lot, but their eyes are too straight. They only have their goals in their eyes, and they naturally don't think about anything that has nothing to do with it. ”

"Of course, it's not their fault. Human energy is limited, so omit the unimportant and focus on one's own goals – that's probably what most people think. ”

"But. Claudia," Claudia's voice was even more flat than the usual chat, but it made Claudia's spirit unconsciously focus, "If you can accept this, you'd better be outstanding." ”

"You're lucky that they have one of their goals to protect you. Whatever the reason, it shows that you are important enough to them. But you are also unfortunate because they protect you only out of their will and not about you. ”

Kruvian's voice was soft: "It's not nice to say. This kind of protection is like protecting some kind of treasure. ”

"I know...... I know they're all for; I'm hungry for ......."

Claudia's voice suddenly became choked.

"My father is also good for me, my brother is also good for me, and my teacher is also good for me......" Her blue eyes fluctuated violently, and tears overflowed like crystals at the bottom of a lake. However, Roland is really good for me...... Why fight each other when they have no interests......"

"Because you're just a treasure. So their opinion naturally has nothing to do with you," Kruvien sighed. "You don't want to know what Roland has done in the City of Fortune."

"What did he do?"

Claudia turned her attention as expected.

"Instead of saying that, you should improve your strength. When you have the power that they can't ignore. Naturally, they will take your ideas into account. ”

“…… Reasonable! ”

Claudia's eyes lit up.

Kruvine smiled slightly: "Now tell me why you and Roland killed Claude, and what your and Roland's professions are." ”

"Let me give you ideas."

In the blind corner of their field of vision, an old man dressed in linen and black, on crutches, haggled slowly and deeply with the fruit sellers on the roadside.

Just as Kruvine said the last two words, a sharp flash flashed in the old man's eyes.

He then took out a few copper plates, stretched out his trembling hand to buy a peach, and walked slowly towards the place on crutches.

"Cruvine, if you dare to betray your master......"

The old, indistinct voice rolled in the old man's throat.

In his cloudy pupils, a silver-gray glow like flowing mercury gradually lit up.

On the other side, Roland was searching the room with An Ruosi.

Although he knew how to get to the next room, he couldn't show it too obviously.

Moreover, he also wanted to collect the equipment in this room.

But it was clear that Roland was disappointed.

The whole room was clean as if it had been licked. Not to mention the equipment, even the decorations didn't leave a single one for Roland.

In the distance, a finger-high light golden liquid exploded from time to time, bursting into a pillar of fire.

When these golden viscous liquids touched the frost under Roland's feet, they immediately made an extremely fine popping sound, condensed, and then exploded, turning themselves into a cloud of ashes, and at the same time, they also shattered a small part of the frost and soil that was spreading under Roland's feet.

"Mr. Roland...... Something is wrong with this fire! ”

An Ruosi lowered her voice behind Roland and whispered.

"What's wrong?"

Roland didn't look back, but asked in a low voice.

"This fire is not a natural fire!" An Ruosi's tone was affirmative, "I don't feel the normal law of flame. ”

"This golden liquid is not a natural object at all!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be man-made...... Or rather, alchemical creation! ”

…… Is that so.

Listening to An Ruosi's words behind him, a flash of realization flashed on Roland's face.

If it is it, then everything makes sense.

If the garrison had fled because of its presence, and that the survivor had just come in shortly before Roland had arrived, that would explain the strength of that man.

If he really killed all the people here one by one and still had the strength to survive this kind of fire, then this person's strength had already exceeded the limit that Roland could bear.

…… No, it's not.

Roland suddenly realized a mistake.

The problem isn't that person's strength at all.

Rather, how exactly did that person survive in such an environment that is forbidden to humans?

It is not an exaggeration to say that the environment here is purgatory, and even if that person is strong, he will not be idle and have nothing to do to come and take a sauna.

So, what is he here for?

Collecting loot? Looking for information?

Or is it ......

…… Waiting for the rabbit?

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but shudder.

He immediately lowered his head and shouted to An Ruosi: "An Ruosi, hurry up and use the humanoid creature detection again!" ”

"No need."

A familiar voice rang in Roland's ears. Roland's back was suddenly soaked in cold sweat, and then condensed into ice by the cold wind that wrapped around him.

"Mr. Orlando...... I've been waiting for you for a long time. (To be continued......)
