Chapter 384: 384

Roland clicked off the forum and looked out of the window, heaving a sigh . So, the two guilds were fighting so hard because of a high-purity gold mine .

Even an idiot should know the wealth it represented .

The video included in the sheriff’s post clearly recorded the moments when the players of the two guilds accidentally injured or killed civilians .

Roland subconsciously frowned as he watched the helpless civilians fall .

“What’s wrong?” Andonara put delicious cakes on the table before him and remarked, “Your mood has been heavy since the morning . ”

“Something happened among my people . It involves Winterwind . ”

“Winterwind?” Andonara thought for a moment and asked, “The small city on the northwest border?”

“That’s right,” Roland said . “Two factions of the Golden Sons are fighting in the city and have hurt countless civilians . They’re fighting because they found a gold mine . Now, more Golden Sons are going there, which will make the situation more complicated . ”

This incident would spread throughout the world sooner or later, so it didn’t matter if he told Andonara first .

After a shock, Andonara asked, “So, you’re going there too?”

Roland nodded .

Andonara was slightly disappointed, but she held herself back and said with a smile, “Then I’ll wait for you to come back . When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow . ”

Andonara said, “Be home soon . ”

Okay .

After a night, Roland activated Long-Distance Teleportation in the morning .

Winterwind was near Reed Village, where Roland had left a space beacon . Therefore, the fastest way to go to Winterwind was by teleporting himself there .

Blue light glittered in the hill behind Reed Village, and Roland surfaced from the void . Pale, he stepped on the grass and rested for several minutes before he finally recovered .

Even the mental power that came with level seven could not completely remove the negative effects of Long-Distance Teleportation .

Then, Roland cast Swiftness on himself and quickly walked to Cage Reed’s house .

He rang the bronze bell at the door, and soon, the old butler that Roland knew came out of the house .

“Where is Cage?” asked Roland in a hurry .

“My lord went to Winterwind . Something dreadful happened there…”

Had the descendant of the Hero left to stop them?

But Cage wasn’t too strong . It wasn’t a problem for him to deal with two or three players, but there were almost three hundred of them .

“Got it . ”

Before the butler finished, a spatial bubble had swallowed Roland and spurted him out .

With the wind raging outside of his magic shield, Roland observed the horizon from the sky . Soon, he spotted a city and flew there at a higher speed .

Human Cannonball was so fast that Roland had reached the city after no more than a minute . He simply dived down at a hill .

Falling like the Terminator, he left a huge pit after he crash-landed .

Walking out of the pit, Roland observed the city from a height and found that it was a mess .

Also, he could see collapsing buildings everywhere and heard cries and screams .

Taking a deep breath, Roland flashed consecutively and soon reached the city wall .

Normally speaking, the city wall was garrisoned by soldiers, but nobody could be seen here except a person in ragged clothes who seemed to be a player . He was looking down in grief while lying on the wall .

Roland saw battles everywhere in the city .

The professionals were too strong . The players, in particular, had higher comprehensive attributes than NPCs of the same level .

Therefore, their battles could be very destructive . The wind they raised when they waved their sword could easily hurt ordinary people .

Roland walked to the stranger and asked, “Are you the sheriff?”

The man turned around and looked at Roland with a bitter smile . “That’s me, a useless sheriff… Wait, you’re Roland?”

Roland nodded . Then he asked in surprise, “Why are you only level two? I remember that you were level five . ”

“I took my men to stop them . But my men were all killed, and I died at least twenty times too . ” As he spoke, the sheriff squatted and wept . “They were all good guys who had their own families, but they have all been killed by the so-called Golden Sons . What can I tell their families? I’m just garbage . There’s nothing I can do to stop them . ”

“F*ck!” Roland couldn’t help but bash the wall .

Even he couldn’t help but curse at this point .

Ignoring the sheriff, he flashed into the city and saw that four people were fighting .

They were three Warriors and a Hunter, who were engaged in an intense battle in the ruins .

The sword auras were sharp, and arrows flew now and then .

Not far away on the battlefield, an old man was hiding under a collapsed wall with a boy . He finally summoned enough courage to run with the boy, but he drew everybody’s attention the moment he rose .

The archer immediately shot an arrow at him .

It was purely his instinct to shoot any non-ally objects that were active . Thankfully, he didn’t aim well and only hit the old man’s shoulder .

The old man screamed and fell . The boy in his arms was thrown to the ground and burst into tears .

None of the four players showed any reaction . They still attacked each other crazily, trying to kill the enemy .

The old man’s scream and the boy’s crying did not earn their empathy at all .

Roland was more than infuriated to see that . He pointed his fingers at them, launching twenty-four Arcane Bullets .

Both parties immediately retreated and looked at Roland .

Noticing that Roland wasn’t on their side, they spoke at the same time: “Jalan Temple/Silver Wings are working here . Get lost now . ”

Damn it!

Roland’s lungs were exploding in fury . He pointed his fingers again, initiating another wave of Arcane Bullets .

Those four people dodged simultaneously, but Roland suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind one of them .

Ice Ring!

Prismatic Spray!

One of the Warriors was immediately down . Roland then looked at the archer .

The other three players immediately fled .

They had recognized that this stranger was Roland, the best Mage server-wide .

It was impossible to defeat him .

“Today is your lucky day . ”

Instead of chasing them, Roland ran to the unconscious old man and plucked the arrow from his shoulder, before he cast Minor Healing on the victim .

“I’ll escort you out of here . ”

But the old man was frightened to see Roland when he opened his eyes . He immediately fell on his knees and hit his head on the ground, while he cried desperation, “Mr . Golden Son, please spare us! You can kill me, but please let go of my grandson! Please!”

The old man kowtowed hard, making loud noises .

Roland was instantly frozen, an awful look on his face .
