Mages Are Too OP

Chapter 24 The Tragic Consequences

The night in the wilderness is very quiet.

The environment here is extremely terrifying. There are white human bones and totems everywhere, and there is a rotten corpse odor floating in the air, which is very disgusting.

But at this time Roland didn't have much fear.

In the ogre camp, he found some agricultural tools, including a few shovels, presumably some farmers were caught and eaten by them, and then the agricultural tools were left here.

Holding a shovel, Roland dug a large deep pit, and then, with the hands of a wizard, carefully took these human bones into the deep pit and buried them together.

The floating soil buried the deep pit, and Roland also used two wooden sticks to make a cross in front of the pit.

"I don't know what your names are, but you are all brothers and sisters in trouble. It should be no problem to be buried together."

Roland exhaled a long breath, feeling a little heavy.

He couldn't treat the NPCs in this game as a string of data. After spending more than a month together, he found that these NPCs were no different from real people.

In other words, they should be real people.

But this is a game!

Very contradictory feeling.

It was already late at night, and it took him too much time to bury the dead, so he started to hurry in the direction of Hongtu Town.

Thinking that there is still a long way to go, Roland felt a little desperate and couldn't help but muttered: "If only I could teleport magic, it would be over with a swipe. No matter, I will definitely need professional space magic in the future, whether it is fighting, or It's very useful for traveling."

Because of the traffic, Roland had already thought that he should specialize in the magic skills of that department in the future.

On Beta's side, he rushed back to Red Earth Town in the early morning.

At this time, the market had dispersed, and he found the old pair by the lake.

The color of the lake reflected the bright red morning glow. An elderly couple was sitting beside a small wooden house, eating an ugly goo, staring dully into the distance.

Beta stepped forward and said lightly: "Two old people, I have found what you are looking for. Your son is dead."

"My son is not dead!" The gray-haired, haggard-faced old woman jumped up and scolded, "You are so cruel, you dare to curse our son to death, I beat him..."

This should be the default mission plot of the system. With this thought in mind, Beta took the shriveled head out of the system backpack and handed it to the old woman.

The cane in the old woman's hand stopped in mid-air, and a bright light began to appear in her dull eyes.

She took the shriveled head and held it tightly and tenderly in her arms.

"My son is back, it's good to be back." The old woman's eyes flashed bright, like a rainbow, and she held up her son's head to her husband as if offering a treasure: "Look, our son came back."

The old man also showed a happy smile.

He reached out and stroked his son's withered hair, and said, "I'm back, I won't hit you, let's go home and have breakfast together, we're ready to muddle..."

The two entered the small house holding their heads.

And Beta was by the side, after watching this scene, there was a strange feeling in my heart.

But he couldn't say anything strange.

The NPCs in this game are very real, but this reaction is too strange. Shouldn't normal parents be crying when they see their son's corrupt head?

This is wrong with the NPC emotional data, it's unreasonable, it's too illogical.

With this thought in mind, Beta stepped back a distance and guarded the small house.

According to his efficiency-oriented personality, it was time to explore other tasks at this time, but there was an inexplicable voice in his heart that made him stop and watch the subsequent development of the couple.

The hearty and happy laughter of the two old men came from the room.

This is completely different from the lifeless appearance before.

There must be an error in the game data.

Beta muttered again, he wanted to go, but his legs were like nails that were not nailed to the ground and refused to move.

He always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't tell.

Time passed slowly, and the two old men came out of the house after breakfast.

The expressions of both of them were quite happy and joyful. The old man went to the market and came back with some delicious food, while the old woman went to the foot of the mountain to pick up a lot of firewood.

They were working and eating as usual. It was almost evening, and smoke appeared in the small house. It was a normal behavior, just like the behavior logic of NPCs in other games. No matter what happened, they lived their lives. A life that doesn't change.

After observing the neighborhood for nearly a day, Beta did not find anything unusual, but the feeling of unease in her heart became more and more intense.

In the end, he pressed down on this weird feeling and came to the town entrance.

Soon Roland also rushed back.

He is a mage, and his physical strength is naturally no better than that of a mixed professional with added physical fitness such as Beta. Roland rested twice on the way, and he was able to come back before night, even if he worked hard.

Seeing Beta, Roland smiled: "I didn't hand in the task, I thought about it when I was on the road, it is better not to hand in the task, let the two old people know that their son is dead, this is too cruel, It's better to keep it a secret, or let them..."

Having said that, Roland was stunned for a moment. He saw the small house by the lake suddenly burst into flames... The sunset had not completely gone down the mountain at this time. From his angle, he could see a bright fireball, and another A cluster of dazzling flames, the two are juxtaposed.

"It's James's house."

Roland shouted and rushed over. He often practiced magic by the lake, and he knew the old couple. Although they were not familiar with each other, they would nod to each other when they met.

Beta looked at the burning house, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Roland rushed to the front of the house and was about to cast an ice ring at the house to see if he could put out the burning wooden house.

But after looking at it for another second, he put down his hand slumped.

The fire is big, big... The wooden house is completely burned through. If anyone is inside, there is absolutely no help.

Beta also ran over, his face was getting paler and his body was shaking slightly.

In the end, he gritted his teeth almost with difficulty: "Brother Roland... The head we found is the son of the old couple."

what!

Roland's heart also became cold in an instant.

He also stood still.

The fire soon attracted the townspeople, and a large group of people gathered around. Many people wanted to put out the fire, but looking at the red-hot wooden house, everyone shook their heads and gave up.

Someone muttered: "Why did James' house suddenly burn down, who came first."

"It seems to be Lord Roland and another noble young master."

"So what happened?"

"who knows!"

In the midst of the clamor, Falcon also came, and he asked Roland, "What's going on, Your Excellency Roland."

Beta's body shook slightly, and his face was frighteningly white. He turned his head to the other side, not daring to look at anyone.

"I found Sam's head and gave it back to the old James couple." Roland sighed and said indifferently.

Hearing Roland's words, Falcon glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

The other townspeople also looked at Roland quietly, and then at Beta, and finally they dispersed one by one.

The wooden house burned for most of the night, and it went out when it was almost dawn.

Only some black charcoal and clear smoke were left on the scene, and the rest was nothing.

'The task is completed, the character experience increases by 376 points, and the reputation of Red Earth Town drops by 10 points. ’

A line of system prompts appeared in Roland's field of vision.
