Roland watched the red quest bar fade away and then disappear.
He was starting to understand how the quest system worked. It seemed that as long as the players discovered something, it could be converted into a quest.
But there was a conversion rate. At least, Roland didn't think that his quest completion rate was as high in Red Mountain Town as it was here.
Could it be that there were fewer quests in the Novice Village and more quests in the Advanced Map?
More importantly, the mission just now seemed to have gone wrong.
The mission description was to save the 'pitiful' civilians.
But from what he had heard just now, that civilian was not pitiful at all.
Or could it be … that the mission was correct, that the civilians were actually very pitiful, and that what he had heard was just false information?
Interesting.
Roland gave the magic spider a new order to follow the black-robed man.
Roland, on the other hand, went back. Instead of going to the hotel, he went to Mijil's house. He used the key to open the door, quietly entered the room, and then gently pushed open the bedroom door.
The guardian puppet was still sitting in the corner, and the magic spider was hanging on the window.
Mijil was still asleep.
Roland watched her for a moment and was about to leave when Mijil woke up.
She crawled up and screamed, "Dad, don't sell me …"
Mijil's eyes were round and her face was full of horror. She looked left and right and finally came to her senses with a sad expression on her face.
Roland walked over and gently stroked her little head for a while, comforting her. "It's okay now. Get up and eat breakfast."
Mijil nodded. She found the clothes her grandmother had prepared for her in the closet, changed into a new set, and followed Roland downstairs.
Roland took out the cakes that Vivian had made from the system Backpack … Fortunately, he had the system's Backpack, or the cakes would've gone bad.
Most children like sweets, and Mijil is no exception.
After eating a few mouthfuls, she was obviously in a better mood.
Roland hastily ate some of his rations, then pointed to the blue guardian puppet that followed him down and said, "Mijil, this is the little friend I summoned to protect you. Don't be afraid."
Mijil had seen it a long time ago, but when she saw that Roland didn't tell her, she didn't ask much.
He was so sensible at such a young age that it made one's heart ache.
She nodded to show that she understood, then timidly asked, "Big brother, are you going out?"
"Call me Roland in the future." Roland said gently, "I do have something to do. I might not be able to take care of you if I take you with me. So why don't you just stay at home? "
Mijil nodded vigorously.
"There's food here. If I don't come back at noon, you can eat first and then take a nap."
Mijil nodded again.
After that, Roland left the room.
After Roland left and the door closed, the room became dark again and even a little cold.
Mijil sat on the chair, curled up her legs, hugged her knees with her hands, and buried her head in her legs, then a soft sob sounded in the room.
Roland came to Kaka's manor, only to be stopped at the gate.
He noticed that the guards blocking his way were unfamiliar faces, and they were no longer the two he saw yesterday.
"Kaka and I are friends. Can you inform him?" Roland looked at the two guards and said in a low voice.
However, the guard shook his head. "Sorry, Kaka is not seeing guests right now."
Hmm?
Roland's gaze passed the two guards and saw that in the distant garden, there was actually a group of soldiers standing there.
And Kaka was in the middle of this group of soldiers, only his back could be seen, but his hair was messy and so was his magic robe.
Then his roar could be faintly heard. "Let go of me, or don't blame me for being rude."
He could vaguely be seen struggling, but it seemed to be of no use.
Was he being controlled?
Roland snapped his fingers, and the extremely low-power Ice Ring appeared close to the ground, staining the ground within a five-meter radius with a layer of white frost.
The two guards were frozen in place, revealing a look of horror.
Roland smiled at them. "It's okay, it will unravel itself in a few minutes."
Then he ignored the two guards and pushed the door straight open and walked in.
When he got close, the group of soldiers, or private soldiers, who were controlling Kaka, spotted him, drew their swords, and roared at him, "Sir Mage, stop. Please don't come any closer, or we will regard you as an enemy. "
Roland waved his hand lightly, and the slightly strengthened Ice Ring was unleashed again.
A ring of ice swept across the ground, and with him as the center, the grass within a radius of more than ten meters was frozen.
Everyone's feet were frozen in the ice.
Including Kaka.
When Kaka saw him, his originally angry expression began to ease, and he even revealed a look of joy.
"Why are you getting more and more disheveled?" Roland asked as he walked up.
Kaka Bard was about to speak when the leading junior officer shouted angrily, "Sir Mage, please consider your behavior. This is the Bard family's home, and this is also the Bard family's internal affairs. Please don't interfere in vain."
"But Kaka is my friend." Roland laughed.
The officer snorted. "Since you are a Mage, you should be aware of the Bard family's position in the Association of Mages. If you really piss off the Bard family, even if you are a Mage, you will have a hard time. "
"Does this count as a fox assuming the tiger's might?" Roland laughed.
The game world didn't have the phrase "a fox assuming the tiger's might," but Roland had Language Proficiency hanging on him at the moment, so it was translated into a common saying with a similar meaning.
The officer's face immediately turned red, and he began to exert force. His right leg began to slowly pull out of the ice layer, directly cracking a large piece of ice beside him.
The junior officer looked at Roland with a smug and ferocious expression, and was about to draw his longsword and attack.
As a result, Roland reached out and pointed, and a fierce cloud of cold air was generated directly out of thin air, crashing into the officer's legs.
The speed of the cold air was too fast, and now that the officer's movements were inconvenient, he had no chance to dodge and was hit directly by the cold air.
Then … his legs were frozen again.
This time, the ice around him was a lot taller, freezing his calves below the knees into the ice.
"You actually …" The officer was shocked and struggled hard for a moment, finding it impossible to break free again, so he shouted angrily at Roland, "You're finished, the eldest young master won't let you off."
"So arrogant?" Roland looked at Kaka. "What's his identity?"
"Big brother's confidant, the future Bard family will probably be big brother's, so he'll feel like he's half the master of the Bard family."
Kaka shrugged helplessly as he pulled his legs out of the ice. Because he was also a Mage, his magic resistance was much higher than that of the average professional, so the restrictions of Ice Ring weren't too great for him.
"Yesterday it was the second brother, today it's the eldest brother. Your younger brother really isn't welcomed by the family." Roland chuckled.
Kaka said indifferently, "How much kinship can there be in a big family! I'm used to it. "
"You can't say that, I've always loved you, my stupid brother."
A voice rang out behind the two of them.
Roland and Kaka turned their heads and saw a handsome young man in a red magic robe walk in from outside.
Behind him followed four graceful female Mages.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman, coupled with the firm steps and the air of nobility all over, looked extremely ostentatious.
