Chapter 118 The Missing Macon

"May you drink wine and fight day and night in Sivir's Hall of Valor."

"Rest in peace, as your Lord has promised."

Roland squinted his eyes slightly and stared directly at the blazing sun, which is rare in winter, and his low and subtle prayer finally came to an end.

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

After Roland's prayer was over, his body shattered into pieces, turning into large silver spots, which then converged into the cane he used before his death.

[You killed a guardian (silver rank) with your own hands, and extracted the original power... because you kill your enemy two ranks higher, the experience you get gets a 144% bonus, and you finally get 176 experience points 】

176 points of experience, not even a fraction of what Roland has at the moment.The only compensation is Claude's relic - the staff sword.

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

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

【Glory of Claude】

杖剑
light blue exquisite
Toughness 5.3, Hardness 3, Sharpness 5.3, Weight 3.2
Special Effects: Pseudo-Iron (although it is very similar, but its texture is not metal, so it will not be affected by the witchcraft of resisting or detecting metal), the power of war (the sharpness can be greatly improved by infusing divine grace, up to 10.0), hard (its texture is very hard, and it can ignore 3 points of sharpness when resisting the cutting characteristic)

Enchantment: Attack Stance - Holy Blade

——The former owner of this piece of equipment was only successfully attacked once until his death.And this will become his capital to boast in front of Sivir.

A light blue special weapon.

In a sense, this was Roland's only reward for killing Claude.

"Claudia, do you think I did something wrong?"

Even though the prayer was over, Roland still stared blankly at the sky with a blank expression on his face.

His heart is still throbbing faintly at this moment.It's like a crazy poisonous snake dancing in its belly, but it's as heavy as lead.

shouldn't be...

Roland silently clutched his chest tightly.

In Roland's impression, he and Claude didn't have a deep relationship.Even in the beginning they were going to kill them after getting through Oak Mystery.

After that, Roland chose to let them go because he wanted to take advantage of An Ruosi's opportunity to sneak into the White Tower.

At that time, Roland just regarded them as ordinary NPCs.

However, since when did I realize that these people are not a piece of data with a background setting, but have a complete life, flesh and blood, love them and the people they love, and they are inseparable from the world What about important individuals?
—cannot recall.

I don't know when I started to feel sad for the loss of these lives.

At this moment, Roland's chest tightened like wax, and his heart and mind became as heavy as lead.

This is... Is he starting to become weak?
Roland couldn't help asking himself.

"I don't like your style of doing things very much, Lord Roland."

Claudia frowned, and said word by word: "Although I know that you are doing it for my own good, this kind of method... really has nothing to do with justice, it's just a small method. If we can't stand on the side of justice , the Eternal Sleep Instructor will be very distressed."

Contrary to Roland's own expectations, Roland got a little calm under Claudia's reprimand.

Probably this is the so-called "I will feel better if you scold me".

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

Ever since Roland could remember, Roland couldn't realize whether what he did was right or wrong.In order to protect himself, Roland subconsciously believed that what he did was absolutely correct.

Therefore, when Roland was very young, he was a very stubborn child.He will only stubbornly implement his initial decision and never accept other people's opinions.What's even more frightening is that Roland learns very fast, in a sense much faster than his sister.

This is clearly a mental illness.This made Roland unable to get in touch with normal society, and even unable to enter school independently before university.

However, when Roland was 24 years old, his condition improved a lot.Unable to judge right from wrong independently, Roland transferred the decision-making power to his sister, which made him controllable and also made him more dependent on his family.

But after the death of his parents and sister, Roland's condition deteriorated further, and he even experienced frequent hallucinations.This forced Roland to undergo frequent mental treatment, but in fact it did not achieve any good results.

However, after Roland came to the world of Farnes, his mental condition has been improving.

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

Roland did not respond to Claudia's question.

"The robe is a little tight."
He just looked up at the air as if nothing had happened, feeling that his breathing was a bit constricted, and loosened the neckline of the black robe a little.

"Lord Roland!"

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

"Okay, Claudia, I understand... I understand everything!"

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

Roland's hysterical low roar immediately quieted Claudia.

She was silent for a long time, and finally lowered her head: "Sorry, I am..."

"A little impatient, right? Claude is your teacher after all..."

Roland said in a low voice, his voice was full of fragility: "Can you take Kluvien out of here to explain, and leave me alone? I need to pray."

"it is good."

Claudia responded bluntly.She grabbed Kluvien who was not far away, and Kluvien also followed with interest and walked away together.

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

"Next, I'm going to the White Tower to see if I can investigate the matter about Edward..."

Roland murmured.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound behind Roland.

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

...is a shock technique.

This is the unique witchcraft of the White Tower Wizard. Seeing this witchcraft, Roland immediately realized that An Ruosi and Macon were probably inside.

After all, Marken and An Ruosi disappeared at the same time, and in a small place like Luther Town, it was basically impossible for two White Tower wizards to exist at the same time.Therefore, after Roland saw the wooden door being blown open and An Ruosi crawling out with scars all over his body, he thought that Macon was also there.

But Roland stood for a long time without seeing anyone.

"An Ruosi, where is Captain Macon?"

Roland frowned and asked.

"Captain Macon? Didn't he hurriedly say that he had to leave early in the morning?" An Ruosi was covered in injuries, his face was blank, "Is he not with you?"

……Oops.

An ominous premonition appeared in Roland's mind.

"Do you think there is anything wrong with Captain Macon? For example, lying on his stomach for a long time in a certain place, or laughing all the time?"

"You said... Captain Macon can laugh?"

An Ruosi almost laughed out to himself.

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

Roland cursed.

Looks like it's real this time.At least not the two fake ones that Roland killed before.

However, if what An Ruosi sees is not a fake Macon, but a real person...

"An Ruosi, do you remember when was the last time you saw Macon?" Roland asked decisively.

Now the twilight species is almost enclosing the town.Macon could be killed at any time, and he might have been killed when Roland turned around to look for clues.

Macon was Roland's most important nail in the Dumb Blades.Once something goes wrong with Macon, Roland's planning chain is directly broken.

"Remember, why..."

An Ruosi looked bewildered.

"Take me! Immediately!"

Roland was very anxious.

There was no time to wait for Claudia and the others to come back.

Let's take a look with An Ruosi first——
