Chapter 209 - My Stupid Brother (1/2)

Roland watched as the quest bar that turned red faded away and then disappeared.

He kind of understood now how the quest system worked. It seemed to be that if anything was found on the player’s side, it could be converted into a quest.

But there was a conversion rate, or at least Roland felt that his quest acquisition rate was far lower in Red Mountain Town than here.

Was it because there were fewer quests in the newbie village and more quests in the advanced maps?

Most importantly, the quest just now seemed to have gone wrong. The quest was intended to save the “pitiful” commoner.

But from what he had just heard, the commoner wasn’t pitiful at all.

Or… the quest was right, the civilian was actually pitiful, and what he had heard was just false information?

Interesting

Roland gave the magic spider a new order to follow the black-robed man.

On the other hand, Roland headed back, but instead of going to the hotel, he went to Mijil’s house. He unlocked the door with his key and lightly entered the house before gently pus.h.i.+ng open the bedroom door. The Guardian Puppet was still sitting crouched in the corner, and the magic spider was still hanging from the window.

Mijil was still sleeping.

Roland watched her for a moment and was about to leave when Mijil woke up.

She crawled up and screamed, “Daddy, don’t sell me…”

Mijil’s eyes were open wide and her face was filled with fear as she looked around and finally came to her senses with a depressed expression on her face.

Roland walked over to her and gently stroked her little head for a moment, consoling her. “It’s okay, get up and eat breakfast.”

Mijil nodded. She found the clothes her grandmother had prepared for her in the closet and changed into them, then followed Roland downstairs.

Roland took out the cakes that Vivian had made from his Backpack… It was also fortunate that the system came with a spatial backpack, otherwise, these cakes would have rotted long ago.

Most children loved sweets, and Mijil was no exception.

After she ate a few bites, she was in a significantly better mood.

Roland hastily ate some dry food, then pointed to the blue guardian puppet that followed him down and said, “Mijil, this is the little friend I summoned to protect you, so don’t be afraid.”

Mijil had already seen it, but she saw that Roland didn’t speak to her about it, so she didn’t ask any questions.

It was a little heartbreaking to be so sensible at such a young age.

She nodded her head to show that she understood, then asked timidly, “Big brother, are you going out?” “Call me Roland from now on,” Roland said gently. “It’s true that there’s something going on, and I might not be able to take care of you if I bring you with me. So will you just stay at home?”

Mijil nodded vigorously.

“Here’s some food, and if I’m not back by noon, you can eat it yourself first, then take a nap.”

Mijil nodded slightly again. After giving some instructions, Roland left the house.

As she watched Roland leave and close the door, the room became dark again, even a little cold.

Mijil sat on a chair and folded her legs. She cupped hands on her knees and buried her head in her legs, then soft crying sounded in the room.

Roland arrived at Kaka’s manor and ended up being stopped at the door.

He found that the guards who stopped him were fresh faces, no longer the two he had seen yesterday.

“Kaka and I are friends, can you go give notice?” Roland said in a low voice as he looked at the two guards.

But the guard shook his head. “Sorry, but Kaka is not seeing visitors right now.”

Hmm?
