"May you drink wine in the Valhalla of Sivir and fight day and night."

"Rest in peace, as your Lord will."

Roland squinted slightly at the rare blazing winter sunshine, and the low and subtle prayer finally ended.

As early as Roland prayed for him, his soul had risen from his body and returned to the kingdom of the Sleeping Master.

And after Roland's prayer ended, his body suddenly shattered, turning into large silver points of light, which converged into the cane he used before his death.

[You killed a Guardian (Silver Rank) with your own hands and drained the Origin Power...... Because you kill your enemies by two tiers, you gain a 144% bonus to the experience, and you end up with 176 experience.

176 points of experience, not even a fraction of Roland's experience at the moment. The only remedy was Claude's relic, the staff and sword.

Roland stepped forward, bent down and picked up the sword.

The pattern of the chariot wheel on it has disappeared, replaced by a silver-gray cross.

【Claude's Glory】

Staff and sword

Light Blue Delicate

Tough 5.3, Hard 3, Sharp 5.3, Weight 3.2

Effects: Pseudo-Iron (although similar, its texture is not metal, so it is not affected by the effects of resistance or detection of metal's sorcery), Battle Advantage (Sharpness can be greatly increased by infusing Divine Grace, up to 10.0), Hard (its texture is so hard that it can ignore 3 sharpness when fighting against the Cutting perk)

Enchantment Attack Stance-Holy Blade

- The previous owner of this equipment was attacked only once until his death. And this will be the capital that he boasts about in front of Sivir.

A light blue special weapon.

In a sense, this is the only reward for Roland for killing Claude.

"Claudia, do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

Even if the prayer is over. Roland was still staring at the sky in a daze, expressionless.

His heart was still throbbing faintly. It's like a mad snake dancing in its belly. But it was as heavy as lead.

It shouldn't be......

Roland silently clenched his chest.

In Roland's impression, he and Claude did not have much affection. Even at the beginning, he was going to kill them after he had survived the Stubborn Oak Lock.

And after that. Roland chose to let them go with the mood of taking advantage of An Ruosi to take the opportunity to blend into the White Tower.

At the time, Roland was just treating them as ordinary NPCs.

However, since when did I begin to realize that these people are not a piece of data with a background, but a complete life, flesh and blood, love them and the people they love, and are important individuals who are inseparable from the world?

――I can't remember.

I don't know when I started to grieve the loss of these lives.

At this moment, Roland's chest was as tight as wax, and his heart and mind became as heavy as a plumb sinker.

This is...... Are you starting to become weak?

Roland couldn't help but ask himself.

"I don't like your way of doing things, Lord Roland."

Claudia frowned. Said word by word: "Although I know that you are for my good, this method ...... It really has nothing to do with justice, it's just a few small means. If we can't stand on the side of righteousness, the Eternal Sleep Guru will be very distressed. ”

To Roland's own surprise, in Claudia's rebuke, Roland got a little calm.

It's about what it's called "I'll be better off if I scold me".

Roland had never experienced this kind of emotion before, and this ugly feeling, which may be mixed with guilt and shame, gave Roland a deep sense of joy.

For as long as Roland can remember, Roland has not been able to realize whether what he is doing is right or wrong. In order to protect himself, Roland subconsciously believes that what he is doing is absolutely right.

So when Roland was very young. He was a very stubborn child. He will only stubbornly implement his initial decisions and never accept the opinions of others. What's even more terrifying is that Roland learns very quickly, much faster than his sister in a sense.

This is clearly a mental illness. This left Roland without access to normal society. It is not even possible to enter the school independently before the university.

However, when Roland was eighteen and twenty-four, his condition improved considerably. Unable to judge right from wrong independently, Roland transferred the decision to his sister, which made him controllable at the same time. It also made his dependence on his family gradually deepen.

But after the death of his parents and sister, Roland's condition deteriorated further. Even frequent hallucinations. This forced Roland to undergo frequent psychiatric treatments, but in fact did not achieve any good results.

But. Since Roland arrived in the world of Faense, his mental condition has been improving.

The most intuitive point is that he began to dismiss his own opinion.

Roland did not respond to Claudia's questioning.

"This robe is a little tight."

He just looked up at the air casually, felt his breathing a little suffocated, and loosened the neckline of his black robe a little.

"Lord Roland!"

Seeing that Roland didn't seem to be ready to respond, Claudia's tone couldn't help but become a little heavier.

"Alright, Claudia, I understand...... I understand everything! ”

"I don't want to kill Father Claude either! But do we have a solution? Do you have one? Have it! ”

Roland's hysterical whisper suddenly quieted Claudia.

She was silent for a long time, and finally lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I'm ......"

"I'm in a hurry, right? Claude is your teacher after all......"

Roland said in a low voice, his voice full of fragility: "You can take Kruvine out of here and explain first, and let me be alone for a while, okay?" I need to pray. ”

"Okay."

Claudia replied dryly. She grabbed Kruvien, who was not far away, and Kruvien followed with great interest.

After the two of them left completely, Roland's fragile expression quickly returned to indifference as if he had gone back in time.

"I'm going to go to the White Tower next and see if I can find out if I can investigate the matter about Edward together......"

Roland muttered.

At this moment, a muffled sound came from behind Roland.

In a very low voice, the wooden door of the warehouse behind Roland was directly blasted open.

…… It's impact.

This is the witchcraft unique to the wizards of the White Tower, and when Roland sees this witchcraft, he immediately realizes that Anros and Marken are probably inside.

After all, Marken and Anros disappeared at the same time, and in a small place like Luther Town, it is basically impossible for two White Tower wizards to exist at the same time. Therefore, after Roland saw the wooden door blown open and the scarred An Ruosi crawled out of it, he thought that Marken was also there.

But Roland stood for a long time, but no one was seen.

"Anros, where's Captain Marken?"

Roland asked, frowning.

"Captain Marken? Didn't he hurry in the morning and say that he had left beforehand? An Ruosi was injured and his face was dazed, "Isn't he with you?" ”

…… Oops.

An ominous premonition appeared in Roland's mind.

"Did you think there's anything wrong with Captain Marken? For example, if you've been lying on your stomach somewhere for a long time, or you've been laughing? ”

"You say...... Will Captain Marken laugh? ”

An Ruosi almost laughed to herself.

Don't talk about you, I couldn't have imagined it at first.

Roland sneered.

It seems that this time it is a real person. At least not the two fakes that Roland killed before.

However, if Anros did not see a fake Maken, but a real person......

"Anros, do you remember the last time you saw Maken?" Roland asked decisively.

Now the Dusk Species is almost going to fence off the town. Marken could be killed at any moment, perhaps by the time Roland turned around for clues.

Marken is Roland's most important nail in the Dumbblade Army. Once something goes wrong with Macen, Roland's chain of plans is broken.

"Remember, how to ......"

An Ruosi looked dazed.

"Take me! Immediately! ”

Roland was anxious.

There's no time to wait for Claudia to come back.

Let's go and see with An Ruosi first-(To be continued......)
