As the distance continued to get closer, the wrongness in Roland's heart became more and more serious, and even his brows began to beat inexplicably. ± Top Novel, www.

Suddenly, there was a click, and a strange sound came into his ears.

Where did it come from?

Roland's heart suddenly struck, and he hurriedly summoned another fireball technique to make the surroundings brighter.

With a snort, as a new fireball appeared in the void, the entire space became indistinguishable from daylight, and even a small corner could be clearly seen.

But Roland didn't find out what he had guessed.

Seeing that the surroundings were as usual, if he insisted on a change, Roland felt that the huge hero statue in front of him was a little different.

Its eyes seem to be alive, giving the illusion of being watched.

"Lord Roland, what's wrong?"

At this moment, the voice of Christie, a centaur girl not far away, woke Roland from his contemplation.

"No...... It's nothing. ”

Roland was startled, replied casually, and then continued to walk towards the sarcophagus.

If he was not mistaken, the sarcophagus was supposed to be the corpse of the centaur hero Metcalfe, and the treasure map should have been in there.

With the attachment to the treasure, the worries in my heart quickly dissipated.

Roland hurriedly walked to the sarcophagus and reached out to open it to see what was going on.

"Very well, open it...... The ultimate goal of this trip. ”

But as soon as his hand touched the sarcophagus, an unexpected change occurred on it.

There was a muffled bang, and the sarcophagus seemed to be manipulated by some force, and the lid of the coffin slowly pushed, revealing the condition inside the sarcophagus.

But the scene inside the sarcophagus surprised Roland.

Because the coffin was empty, let alone a corpse. Not even a single hair is saved.

Wasn't Metcalfe's body placed in this place?

So what is the point of putting a sarcophagus here?

"Lord Roland, Metcalfe is behind you!"

Just when Roland was extremely puzzled, Christie's frightened voice came from behind her, and the shock and fear in her heart could be heard from the voice alone.

Faced with the centaur girl's reminder, Roland did not feel suspicious and immediately used the teleportation skill.

Smack. The silver power of space instantly enveloped his body, and forcibly moved to other areas beyond the barrier of space.

When Roland fled from that position, he quickly looked back.

I saw that in the position where he was standing, there was a two-meter-tall figure. The most shocking thing was that the figure was exactly the same as the huge statue in front of him.

The body of a centaur clan, with strong muscles, magnificent light armor, and a dragon-scale longbow hanging from their backs.

No doubt...... It's the hero Metcalfe.

Roland's eyes were filled with incredulity as he looked at the figure. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Although that figure is indeed very similar to Metcalfe, the momentum exuded from his body is not very strong, and it feels like the level should be similar to him.

But that's not right!

You must know that Metcalfe is a legendary hero, it is absolutely impossible to be so weak, and at least he will reach the level of a demigod of more than ninety.

"Shh

Seeing that Christie wanted to say something, Roland hurriedly made a silent gesture to her.

The true intentions of the other party have not yet been determined, so it is very unwise to rush forward and check.

"Mortal...... Now you break into my graveyard. For what? ”

Suddenly, Metcalfe turned to look at Roland. Said in a calm tone.

At this point, Roland finally saw the front of Metcalfe.

It was indeed identical to the statue, but it had one thing that the statue didn't have, and that was a black stone on his chest.

The black magic stone exuded a faint aura of darkness.

The aura is not very strong, and it is impossible for ordinary people to perceive it if they are not deliberately observed.

Wait a minute. The story Christie told earlier.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but look at the black magic stone with wide eyes.

Metcalfe leaves the Horde with an evil object and seals it in his graveyard.

So in other words, this black magic stone is that evil item?

If that's what he suspected, I'm afraid the situation will get very bad. You know, it's something that the gods can't destroy.

"Hmph, I see. You disgusting mortals want to desecrate my body, and then take away my power, take what belongs to me! ”

Just as Roland was thinking, Metcalfe, not far away, changed dramatically again.

I saw that he grabbed the dragon scale longbow on his back with one hand, bursts of black mist emanated from his body, and his mouth kept growling in a low voice, looking like a demon.

"Not good...... Something bad has happened. ”

Roland secretly cursed, and then used his teleportation skill to return to Christie's two daughters.

Now in this terrible scene, the two of them must be retracted into the Ouroboros Ring, after all, they will die if they are not careful.

But before he could use his skills, a voice echoed in his ears: "Mortal, your clumsy magic has no effect in front of me. ”

Hearing this, Roland couldn't help but be shocked.

His teleportation ability had failed, and when had this evil-corrupted Metcalf come to him.

"Blood Shield! Fireball! ”

In an instant, Roland, who had failed to teleport, hurriedly activated the two cards.

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible shield appeared on him. But it wasn't over yet, as a dense fireball spell appeared out of thin air above his head and fell heavily towards Roland and Metcalfe.

With a loud bang, the scorching flames collided with each other, bursting out with an explosion that shook the space.

Time passed little by little, and the flame did not mean to be extinguished, and there was no trace of life in it.

"Mentor Roland!"

"Lord Roland......"

Looking at the huge explosion of flames, Christie and Retanas' expressions couldn't help but become nervous, and they both prayed for Roland.

Suddenly, the flames swelled, and a figure emerged from the flames.

With a snort, the figure burst out of the scorching flames.

That's right, he is Roland in a hunter's suit, and due to his control of the flames, he didn't suffer too much damage, but there was just an extra smell of burning on his body.

"Whew...... Call...... He shouldn't be dead yet. ”

Roland gasped as he looked at the burning flames and said slowly.

He could clearly feel that Metcalfe would definitely not die just now, and I was afraid that it would be his turn to fight back next.

Sure enough, what happened next was just as he expected.

Metcalfe slowly walked out of the flames, and it was clear from him that the guy hadn't been hurt at all.
