quicksilver blood

Chapter 216 A Quarter of Redemption
"Do you really think so?"

Without warning, the lazy whisper of the Sleeping Mentor came from behind Roland.

"I……"

Roland opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing.His eyes became complicated.

Probably because his identity has something to do with the Silver Queen - such a statement is just a lie from Roland himself.

Once pointed out by the instructor, Roland had to endure the throbbing in his heart to look directly at the tiny possibility——

"Is it... my sister?"

Roland murmured in a voice that he couldn't hear clearly, and the shining hope that children only had gradually flashed in his eyes.

...The reason why my sister could not be found after Roland woke up that day, maybe she was not killed, but came to this world before Roland?

After this possibility appeared in Roland's mind, he could no longer give up.

He didn't even want to test the possibility of this possibility.

Because Roland worried that once he thought about it, he would kill this "possibility" that was more precious than gold.

Roland has always been like this.

Rather than calmly reasoning logically step by step, he is better at first randomly thinking of several possibilities, and then testing their possibilities one by one.And the amount of information in Elucado's blurted "My Lady Queen" is too large, providing Roland with many possibilities.

That's right, that's right...

There is such a possibility-

Just thinking about the possibility of this kind of existence made Roland excited and couldn't help himself.

If the Sleeping Mentor told him that as long as he died, he could see his sister, Roland would commit suicide immediately without hesitation.

There is no point in living alone in the world.

Roland has long recognized this with the pain rooted in his body.

As my sister said, "Human beings are animals that get hurt as long as they are separated from those around them."

Then, being alone in the world is naturally safer than anything else.

But that being the case, why can't human beings endure loneliness and live alone?
Roland never thought of such a thing.Because I have my sister by my side anyway—as long as there is one person is enough, I don’t need anything else.

But because of this, when his sister also left Roland, Roland collapsed without any suspense.

There was no anger, and no loss of control—precisely because Roland was more sure than anyone about the fact that "my sister is gone".He was hit hard by the facts without any psychological preparation.

Not even a goodbye.Not even a last word was left.

Who would have known that that "good night" was already the last word Roland could hear from his sister?

Since that morning, Roland's chest felt like a big hole had been opened.Even the wind can whine through, drying and cooling the inside of the body like a corpse.

What appeared in his heart all the time was the soreness that made Roland almost cry out.

The uneasiness and anxiety piercing through his chest like a scorching iron rod made Roland want to tear the clothes on his chest.But at the same time, Roland couldn't even shed a tear.

It was a very intense loneliness.

After his sister left, Roland was stripped of even the meaning of life.

When he wakes up every day, all he can do is lie on the bed in a daze, stiff like a piece of wood that has lost its soul, waiting for the nurse to feed him and take care of his body.

He could clearly feel everything in the outside world, but his body couldn't move.Like a delicate doll...

This situation lasted for a month before it gradually eased.Roland couldn't remember the nightmare of that month at all.

It wasn't until last night that Roland recalled the nightmare of one night with the help of Anvilia.

And after seeing the Wall of Aum in the state of soul just now, Roland reconfirmed this idea in his heart——

There is no point in living alone in this world.

Even after coming to the world of Farnes, Roland couldn't feel the slightest joy.

Compared with suffering in the world, Roland wanted to return to his mentor to enjoy eternal sleep.

——However, such an idea has just been shattered.

The phrase "My Lady Queen" blurted out by Elcardo made Roland realize the possibility of his sister also coming to this world.But the tutor's words forced Roland to really start thinking about this possibility.

"Mentor...do you know the queen in white?"

Roland asked piously in his heart.

"Go find it, Roland." The Eternal Sleep Instructor did not answer Roland's question, but said in a rare solemn voice, "I will always take care of you, just like taking care of my own child."

Hearing the tutor's hint coming from behind him, Roland unconsciously smiled.

The instructor's words had already confirmed some of Roland's conjectures.

My sister is still here—

In an instant, Roland felt that the world was so beautiful.The haze that was always lingering in his silver-gray pupils also reduced by a large amount.

For the first time, Roland really had the thought of "I want to save the world".

The Silver Queen appeared 1000 years ago.It was a much more beautiful and magnificent world than the present world.

At that time, the wall of Gaia had not been broken, no demons had been born, all kinds of civilizations in Ya'an were prosperous, and the world was peaceful.

At that time, dragons were flying in the sky, there were groups of goblins in the lake, and pure-blooded elves were dancing in the forest.

At that time, there was silver that could sing in the water, and the towering ancient trees would sway slowly with the bard's music.

At that time, people never got sick, died without pain, acquired knowledge before birth, and could speak when they landed.

That was when the Seven Saints were all around, and the world was jointly managed by them.

Countless new things are discovered every day, and new inventions are made every minute.

It is a vibrant, vibrant world——

Compared with the present world, the past is too beautiful.

Roland originally just wanted to give himself an excuse to live longer and live a better and more comfortable life, but now, he really wants to change the world.No matter what means he uses, he must save this world that is destined to be destroyed.

In this way, when I find my sister again one day in the future, I can give her this world as a gift for the reunion of the two.

In this way, Roland can let his sister touch his head and say with a smile, "Little Roland is really capable."

Roland finally decided to abandon his sense of superiority as a player and live in this world down-to-earth.

If you can't even fall in love with it, how dare you give it to your sister?

——Roland decided that he wanted to fall in love with this world.

"I'm Roland. Roland Nirola," Roland said softly while lying on the ground with his eyes closed, "Elucardo. I want to save this world, will you help me?"

"As you wish...His Royal Highness Roland."

As if seeing someone's shadow on Roland's body, Elcardo almost wept with joy.

But Roland shook his head.

"Don't call me Your Highness. The way of the king has been proven to be impractical. This time, I will add a word 'Holy' in front of my name."

"However, Lord Roland..." Elcardo's doubtful voice came, "If you want to establish your own sect, wouldn't it be good for me to follow you... Maybe I can hide in the dark..."

"Do not."

Roland turned her down briefly but emphatically.

"You just follow me, you are not allowed to hide or escape. You just watch how I save the world and write them down."

After a long absence, passion rekindled in Roland's heart.

From birth to now, this is the first time he wants to do something from the bottom of his heart.

As a result, Roland's body exuded a compelling and confident light like a burning flame.

"What are we going to do?"

"No rush. I will talk to Esther in detail later... Also, Esther, you will help me."

"Ah, of course," Esther looked at Roland with meaningful eyes, "Let's not talk about anything else... There is still an agreement between you and me."

"Just remember."

Roland opened his eyes and said softly: "Also, mentor... I have a disrespectful idea, and I will bring it up to you alone later."

Afterwards, Roland raised his head and looked at Claudia quietly.

Her physical strength has already been exhausted.Now she was out of breath, and her cold and trembling hands tightly grasped Roland's right hand, refusing to let go.

Roland couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

After coming to this world, the first person he saw was Claudia.It wasn't the first time that Claudia had saved herself - because Claude refused to treat a black-robed druid, so Claudia was responsible for Roland's treatment, including analgesia.

The reason why Roland survived was at least [-]% of the credit for Claudia.

And now, she is also his best friend.It is an existence that has gradually entered Roland's heart.

Among the people Roland knew, Claudia was the only one that Roland could never allow any accidents to exist.

Roland chuckled and put his left hand on Claudia's.

"Thank you, Claudia."

Claudia blushed.

She tilted her head slightly, and said softly, "What nonsense... You saved me more than once."

"So, this is considered a repayment?"

Roland said with some discordant timing.

"...Ah, yes. That's right."

Claudia's expression darkened slightly, her tone lowered a little, and she wanted to withdraw her hands when she saw it.

But at this moment, Roland's left hand suddenly grabbed her hands.

Facing Claudia's surprised gaze, Roland showed a cheerful smile that Claudia had never seen before: "Aren't you talking about interest? Claudia?"

"What's the meaning?"

"I saved you several times, you can't just pay back so much," Roland looked at Claudia seriously, and said word by word, "You have to save me at least ten more times before you can pay back, and by that time , there will probably be new interest generated.”

"I did a rough calculation, and you probably lost your whole life."

Finally understanding the meaning of Roland's words, Claudia's face turned red.

Seeing that she couldn't even say a word, Alcardo on the side suddenly showed a toothache expression, but didn't bother the two of them.

Everything seems so good.The moonlight shone through the broken roof and sprinkled around Roland.

At this time, four hours had passed since the sun set in the west, and it was late at night.

With the bright moon in the sky, the White Tower fell into silence.

Calculated according to the time, the bansa at this time is about to break dawn——

　I woke up feeling a little better today... so here comes the update.A total of two chapters are updated today, Chapter 1 is a 3000-word chapter, as compensation...
