Chapter 261 The Roar of War

The corners of Roland's mouth curled up slightly.

He seemed to know what Xi La was doing here.

"How many people of your level come to you?"

"There are six in total."

"when are you leaving?"

"Such a good show, I have to watch it more or less before I can leave."

Roland replied frankly, showing a shallow smile.

It was an open-minded smile that can only be seen by someone who puts death aside.

Seeing that smile, Xi La felt something hit her heart suddenly.A current surged up from the spine to the back of the head.

Sira thought of her parents who died under the kiss of a wolf when she was a child.

[Xila, let's play a game... close your eyes, cover your ears, and see who can't help it first, how about it?The winner will have fried pancakes]

On that night when he was besieged by hungry wolves, his mother said such words, showed such a shallow smile, and placed Xila in the carriage.

Afterwards, Xila's parents got out of the car calmly and led the wolves away.Then never came back.

It was too late when the Sun Knights crowned by Tyre arrived.Only six-year-old him was saved.

Seeing the delicate smile of Su Ze's puppet-like face, which was almost exactly the same as that of her mother back then, Xi La felt that her heart was almost broken.

"...deliberately going into danger is not a proof of bravery, but of irresponsibility for life."

So Xi La couldn't help but persuaded: "You should go with me..."

But before he finished speaking, Xi La saw that handsome black-haired young man on the opposite side suddenly showed a look of astonishment as if he saw something absurd——

[Xila (Level 45 Exalted Priest) has been successfully charmed by you]

[There are still 11 hours and 30 minutes before the charm expires]

...Fuck.Fuck.Fuck.

What's happening here?Brother, are you bent?
No... what did I do just now?Why does Natural Charm suddenly take effect?
Roland's mentality is almost broken now.

If it was said that Roland was very pleased with his own charm when he successfully charmed Lily before, then now Roland can only feel horrified.

... How can you let me rest assured to go with you!How can you let me go with you in this situation!

"Cornerstone elements."

A lazy and cheerful voice suddenly sounded from Roland's side.The black shadow will cover Roland.

……tutor? !

Roland suddenly turned around.

I saw a black-haired girl slightly taller than Roland sitting on the top of Roland's chair back at some point, but like a phantom, the soft seat did not deform at all.

Roland couldn't see her face clearly, half of her face was covered by her too long bangs, and her long black hair hung from the back of a chair about the same height as Roland to the floor.Her legs overlapped gracefully, with her left leg above her right leg, and her naturally hanging right leg rested lightly on Roland's left shoulder, and her ankle was gently pressed against Roland's chest.

Roland could clearly see that naked and delicate jade foot right in front of his eyes.

Roland could even feel the weight of the mentor's legs from his shoulders.

The instructor leaned down slightly, reached out and stroked Roland's hair gently, as if stroking a cat.

"Follow the feelings that spring up in your heart, without fear. For I am with you."

A gentle voice came from Roland's side.

Then, Roland felt his shoulders lighten, and the mentor's figure turned into a silver halo and melted into the air.

The slight pressure on his chest that suddenly dissipated made Roland subconsciously stretch out his hand to hug the mentor's leg, but he stretched out only halfway, and the last bit of halo completely disappeared.

Feeling the touch of being gently touched in his hair, for a while, Roland felt inexplicably wanting to cry.

"... Roland? Your Excellency Roland?"

Xi La's soft shouts woke Roland up from the hallucination.

... What did the instructor want to say when he hurriedly appeared and then left?And this look of confessing his last words...

Roland felt a little worried for a while.

Is the instructor going to start a decisive battle with Higgs who has a snake in his eyes...

If it succeeds, the Eternal Sleeping Instructor and other saints will return naturally.

But if it fails...

Historically, it was Kabbalah, the tree of life, who died in this battle.I hope the butterfly effect I brought won't affect my mentor...

Roland took a deep breath, clasped his fingers tightly together, retracted them to his chest, covered half of his face, and supported his chin with his raised thumbs.

You can't trouble your tutor right now.

Try not to get into a fight...and don't use divine powers when you get into a fight.

In this case, many plans will be disrupted...

Roland thought for a while, then said softly, "Your Excellency Xila..."

"I'll go with you."

As soon as Roland finished speaking, he saw a very bright smile on Xi La's face.

"That……"

Xi La just opened her mouth to say something.

But at this moment, all the windows of the fiery Callista suddenly shattered, and the huge explosion completely drowned out the second half of Sira's words.

Roland could feel the roar coming from the floor under his feet.The walls of the wooden structure creaked under the action of the shock wave, and the whole house trembled.Cracks appeared in the glass full of wine, and the silver tableware on the table trembled violently, making a dense sound.

The door was also suddenly pushed open by the filthy air wave, and snowflakes rushed in instantly along with the smoke.

The faces of the wizards also turned pale from the sudden shock.But not many screamed.

Roland's face changed, and he got up without hesitation, walked to the window against the still shaking ground, found a broken and relatively clean window, stuck his head out and looked around.

I saw a mushroom cloud slowly rising in the western sky——

The lava-like dark red and shiny color rolls in the inner layer of the mushroom cloud, wrapped in a thin layer of gray smoke.

In front of Roland's eyes, the smoke screen expanded rapidly, increasing in size ten times, almost covering the entire sky.Then it collapsed farther west at an extremely slow rate.

...Damn it, a nuclear explosion?

No, it's impossible... how can there be such a small nuclear explosion... and the scale of this mushroom cloud is too big... and it only spreads to one side....
Roland was stunned for a moment, realizing what it was.

...That seems to be the direction of Iron Curtain City.

"It's the incineration plant in Iron Curtain City! The incineration plant exploded!"

The quick-response wizard and Roland realized the cause of the matter at the same time.

With the scale of the Iron Curtain City incineration plant, after it is detonated, it is estimated that even the surrounding area will be razed to the ground.Pedestrians who are closer to there may be directly torn into pieces by the shock wave, and those who are further away may also be blown away.

"If you have a communicator, notify the medical department and search and rescue department immediately! People in the vicinity of Iron Curtain City should be saved!"

"No, the medical department didn't respond!"

"The search and rescue department has not responded either!"

"Damn...they shouldn't be affected..."

Roland stood by the window in a daze like this, looking at the sky that was gradually being dyed gray in the distance.

His right hand tightly held the unexpanded stick and sword, and his fingertips were a little cold.

It was different from the sick village, different from the city of wealth, and different from any battle in the game that gave Roland the same feeling.

Even the heart was shocked by the non-existent sound of iron hooves.

The flow of blood was clearly perceived by him, and the sound of breathing resounded in his heart.Gunpowder smoke seems to permeate the air, the taste of steel rises on the tip of Roland's tongue, and even the pupils are trembling slightly——

Roland has never had such a deep feeling for such a moment.

——The war has begun.
