A clue to the queen?
Roland looked left and right. There were pedestrians all around, and they all looked normal, nothing out of the ordinary at all.
Why was this side quest suddenly updated?
He didn't do anything.
While he was wondering, there was a sudden cry in front of him. "Mijil!"
A charming woman rushed over, hugging the little girl and crying bitterly.
Roland, on the other hand, continued to check the surroundings, or to see if there were any special people nearby.
But he didn't see any for the time being.
The quest was updated, which meant that there must be clues to the queen's disappearance nearby.
At this point, a fat middle-aged man came over, stood in front of Roland somewhat apprehensively, and said, "Sir, it was you who sent Mijil back, right?"
Roland nodded. He wasn't in the mood to talk to this man, and was inspecting the surroundings for fear of missing something strange.
The middle-aged man was very average-looking, with a mustache and a very normal male face, the extremely ordinary kind.
Seeing that Roland didn't speak, he gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Sir, if Mijil was sent back, would those sirs from the Shadow Guild still come after me?"
"I don't know what your beef is with them." Roland's eyes finally looked at the middle-aged man, and there was some doubt in his eyes. "I just saw Mijil on the street about to be beaten to death and went over to save her."
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression turned unpleasant. "Sir … this, you're a little …"
Hmm? Roland looked at the other man somewhat strangely.
Being stared at like this by Roland, the middle-aged man felt uncomfortable all over, but he still argued, "Sir, we owe the Shadow Guild money, and if Mijil had been taken away by them, they wouldn't have come after us. But you sent him back …. "
The other man didn't say the rest of the words, but Roland understood that he was being nosy.
Roland's mood suddenly soured.
The woman holding Mijil squatted on the ground, and when she heard this, she turned back and cried, "You're crazy, how could you bear to sell Mijil, didn't you hear, they were going to beat Mijil to death."
The middle-aged man, however, was even angrier, and he almost jumped up and shouted, "If you don't let the Shadow Guild take her, are you going to let them take Kirrlutz and Gawain? Or take you away to pay off their debts as a prostitute? "
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, unable to say anything. She could only cry silently, and then hugged her daughter even more tightly.
Mijil looked to be six years old, and she could already understand a lot of things.
She also understood that her parents didn't want her anymore. Her little face immediately turned pale, and tears streamed down her face.
Seeing this scene, Roland shook his head helplessly.
He did not know the cause and effect, but he simply felt that this pair of parents were not qualified.
After thinking about it, he walked over and took the little girl's hand, saying, "Let's go. I'll take you with me first. I'll find a place to settle you down."
The woman let go of Mijil and turned to wipe her tears.
The fat middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief.
Roland pulled the little girl away. In this situation, it was not good to think about the quest, so he simply gave up.
The little girl obediently let Roland hold her hand, but as she walked, she would look back from time to time. As she watched her parents gradually disappear into the distance, her tears flowed more and more.
However, she did not cry out loud.
Roland pretended not to see anything and kept a straight face, but in fact, he felt very uncomfortable.
After walking for a while, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He stopped and opened the system prompt with his mind.
Side quest refreshed: "Find the Kidnapped Queen."
Side quest: "Mediate" failed.
Hmm?
Roland looked behind him. His eyebrows twitched, and he pulled Mijil back a few steps.
Sure enough, as he expected, the quest refreshed again.
Side quest refreshed: "Clues to the Queen."
Sure enough, this was the quest area.
However, the quest "Mediate" didn't refresh again, so it seemed to be a time-limited quest.
He smiled slightly, faintly sensing some of the basic principles of the quest system.
Then he moved on.
Side quest refreshed: "Find the Kidnapped Queen."
This time, Roland ignored the quest system and took Mijil to Kaka's manor.
Kaka finished studying derivative magic and happened to be taking a walk in the garden. He was a little surprised to see Roland come back with a little girl. "What are you doing?"
When she saw Kaka, the little girl subconsciously hid behind Roland.
Roland patted the little girl's head to calm her down, then told her what had happened. Then he continued, "Let's leave this little guy here for now, don't let your servants bully her."
"I can't even protect myself, and it may be hard to take care of her." Kaka shook his head helplessly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but most of his servants now had been bribed by his eldest and second brothers, and the rest of their minds were on other people.
Now that Kaka had given an order, these servants still didn't dare to disobey, but he could also see that these servants no longer respected him in their eyes.
It was just that he was still the third young master now, after all, and the servants didn't dare to go too far.
But if it were this little girl, the situation would be different.
The servants wouldn't dare to trip Kaka up, but he couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't bully this little girl behind her back.
Roland scratched his head. He was now more and more aware of the importance of Long-Distance Teleportation.
If there was a Long-Distance Teleportation, he would directly take Mijil back to the Delpon Magic Tower first, put her down, and then teleport over.
How convenient.
Not like now, where there was no place to put Mijil at all.
Just as Roland was in a dilemma, Mijil suddenly tugged at the corner of Roland's shirt and said, "Mijil, there's a place to live."
Oh?
Roland then let Mijil hold his hand and lead him out of the manor, all the way to the west of the city.
They turned from the west commercial street into an alley that was, after all, remote, and then Mijil pulled out a key connected to a red rope from under her neck and opened the two-story building in front of her.
It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time. The house was filled with a musty smell, and there were a lot of cobwebs hanging in the corners.
"This is where Grandpa and Grandma lived. They went to the divine realm and left the key to Mijil."
Mijil's face was a little sad, and it seemed that she already understood the concept of birth, old age, sickness, and death.
Were all the children in this world so mature?
The two cleaned the small building, then found the closet in the bedroom on the second floor, took out the bedding, and laid it on the bed.
Mijil hugged her legs and sat in the corner of the bed.
Her eyes began to redden again.
Roland didn't comfort her, because he felt that it was better for children to cry out whatever grievances they had, and suppressing them tended to become neurotic.
Sure enough, Mijil began to cry, suppressing her tears for a long time.
Then in the evening, she cried herself to sleep.
Roland tucked her in, then left a protective Spell Puppet and a magic scouting spider behind the window.
Then he went out and went to East Main Street again.
As night fell, the capital began to implement a curfew again.
Roland found a hotel on East Main Street, which was the most luxurious hotel and in an excellent location.
He sat on the balcony on the fifth floor and drank fruit wine. The view here was excellent, and he could almost observe the entire East Main Street.
Roland looked at his quest system.
Side quest refreshed: "Clues to the Queen."
Then he casually dropped two scouting magic spiders.
