384 All Crazy (1/2)
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.
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.
