This little ball of light is the fragile soul of the young mother.
No consciousness, no intelligence, just a ball of energy worried about her daughter's safety.
Even if Roland doesn't touch her, she will disappear completely after one to two hours.
After all, there is no paradise for souls in this world, and any soul is destined not to last long.
Maybe there is... but Roland didn't find it.
So Roland sucked her into his soul without any psychological burden.
Compared with Roland, the young mother's soul was too tiny. As soon as it entered Roland's head, it was broken into countless fragments by the huge soul.
Many thought fragments spread out in Roland's consciousness.
Most of the memories I saw happened recently.
After all, memories are more recent and clearer.
After searching through all the records, Roland quickly found the scene of the young mother after her accident.
In her soul vision, there was a ball of light similar to her own, right next to her.
But this ball of light was much bigger and brighter than her.
She had an instinct to move closer.
But then two figures suddenly appeared, one white and one gold, both emitting strong light, making it difficult to see their appearance.
Among them, the white one stretched out his hand and made a chirping noise, knocking the small ball of light aside.
Then they took the big ball of light and flew into a strange light door before disappearing.
After reading this memory, Roland opened his eyes and his body swayed slightly.
A bodyguard walked up and asked in a low voice: "Boss, are you okay?"
It is a habit within the system to call the leader 'boss' when outside. When performing some confidential tasks or needing to keep one's identity secret when going out, in order to distinguish the relationship between superiors and subordinates, one will follow the trend and call the leader 'boss'.
This way the confidentiality is strong, after all, the whole world is calling someone else the boss.
It is always more confidential than calling him 'Director Huang' or 'Director Huang'.
Roland waved his hand and said thank you before riding his bicycle home, with two bodyguards following him.
His parents were naturally very happy to see him back.
But they also heard about Beta. After all, in the past few years, Beta and other gay friends had come to visit the house, and the two old people also knew him.
Knowing that Beta died so miserably, the two old men were also in tears.
Help the two bodyguards arrange to sleep in the guest room.
Roland returned to his room.
Lying in bed, he kept thinking about where the space door led to and whether Beta's soul had been sent away.
Is Beta still alive somewhere else
Such messy things were spinning in his mind, and two hours later, he gradually fell asleep.
After sleeping all night, Roland followed the car to the crematorium based on the phone call given by Shuke.
The customs here in southern Xinjiang are relatively retro. Although burials are no longer allowed, before cremation, a temporary mourning hall is still arranged and a funeral master is invited to chant sutras and transcend.
Many people came to the mourning hall. The dead young mother also sent several representatives over. After all, Beta came back to save their relative, the little girl, otherwise he would definitely be able to escape.
The funeral masters, who were dressed in strange clothes and had no religious or religious beliefs, began to jump around, play suonas and knock wooden fish.
They also sang traditional sacrificial words for the farewell of the living and the dead.
It lasted more than three hours. Most of Beta's father's hair turned gray overnight, and his mother still didn't wake up in the hospital.
All relatives and friends know that this home is gone.
The two old men will live a life almost like death.
Outsiders can never imagine the misery of a family that has lost its only child.
All F6 gay friends came. Looking at Beta's photo in the mourning hall, Housele and Raffi, who were more sentimental, burst into tears on the spot.
Roland also felt that his nose was extremely sore and his heart was blocked.
After staying at home for two more days, Roland then returned to the base.
Now Andonara has a strong sense of security. Roland's disappearance for a short period of time is no longer a problem for her.
Roland thought that Beta's matter was over, but he didn't expect that the matter was still very troublesome.
He hides in the floating city to conduct magic experiments.
Architectural masters gave priority to building his laboratory.
Before even half a month of quiet time, Shuke @ him in the guild chat system.
Shuke: Roland, there's trouble in Wetland City. You go over first to help stabilize the situation. I'll be there soon. Li Lin and the others have already rushed over.
When Roland saw these words, he knew something had happened.
He immediately launched the floating city and spent more than half a day flying above the wetland.
At this time, the city lord's mansion was in a mess.
Most of the staff were hiding aside, while in the city hall, two groups of people were confronting each other.
Roland took a closer look and found that on one side were Li Lin and the others, and on the other side was a small group of several well-known live broadcast UP hosts headed by Cornucopia President Charles.
Li Lin pointed at Charles' nose and shouted: "This is Beta's territory. What are you doing here, Cornucopia Guild? I say it again, get out."
"Beta is dead, so Wetland City is naturally an ownerless thing. What's wrong with being able to live in it?" Charles smiled, then looked at several UP owners and said: "Netizens who are watching the live broadcast, do you think this is right? ?This Wetland City was indeed built first by Beta, but making it as prosperous as it is now is the result of the joint efforts of all our players."
"That's not the reason why your Cornucopia Guild wants to become a lord. When will it be the turn of your Cornucopia Guild, an unscrupulous organization?"
"There is no such thing as unscrupulous or unscrupulous business, there are just rules." Charles said calmly: "Let's not talk about whether our cornucopia is qualified or not. Are you qualified? When we were building the Wetland City, how many of you were there? Where? On a woman’s belly, or hanging out in some brothel?”
The faces of Li Lin and others turned livid.
It is no longer a secret that the maids of the Temple of Love can help players level up.
As the ones who were the first to discover this secret... they naturally took advantage.
Now it's the female priests of the Temple of Love who are not enough... there are too many male players.
There was a roar of laughter in the live broadcast room.
Although many netizens yearn for the idea of holding an unobstructed conference, in most cases, especially in public places, they are scorned.
Seeing Li Lin and others speechless, Charles, who had already taken the moral high ground, smiled and said: "So, Wetland City is everyone's city, and everyone should decide who will own the next city."
"I do not think so."
Roland walked up.
Seeing Roland, Charles didn't show any special expression. It would be better to say that Roland's appearance was completely expected by him.
The presidents of all guilds are very aware of the fact that F6 is very united.
"Oh, the top expert in the entire server is here. Do you think you should be the leader of this wetland city?"
Charles was angry and angry.
There were several UP owners nearby who were live-streaming, and some of them even made sarcastic comments.
'As the top player in the server, it's normal to be a little greedy. '
'There's nothing wrong with eating your brother's inheritance. '
'I heard that there are two beautiful maids hidden in Beta's room. I guess Roland will take them in too. He likes wives the most, haha. '
There was also a carnival in the barrage, and it seemed that Roland had a lot of opinions, and the situation seemed to be very unfavorable.
But this was actually a silent majority. Those who supported Roland did not speak, waiting for Roland to refute.
Those who are making crazy comments on the barrage are just trolls.
"Of course the owner of Wetland City is not me, because according to the inheritance law, only Beta's legal wife and parents are eligible to continue his legacy and position. Of course, it cannot be you, Charles."
As soon as these words came out, the barrage stopped for a while, and then the barrage of "It makes sense" and "This is indeed the case" filled the screens of several live broadcast rooms.
Charles's cheeks jumped, and he said coldly: "The game belongs to the game. It has nothing to do with reality. I have never heard that things in the game account can be inherited by family members."
"That's because you are ignorant. The inheritance of virtual information property such as online games has already been written into the law."
Charles frowned.
Roland is very strong, Shuke is very strong, and F6 is overall ridiculously strong.
But why would he fight to gain a certain say in Wetland City, the strongest guild
The reason is simple: money moves people's hearts.
Wetland City is now a gathering place for players, and the output and circulation of property here are growing at an extremely fast rate.
When Beta was still there, the tax revenue did not seem to be too much. That was because Beta had been investing the tax money back into the construction of Wetland City.
Infrastructure, roads, military expenditures, etc... are all major expenses.
But now, the plate has been laid, and as long as you take over, all that is left is to fix some things that are not done properly, and then you can just sit back and collect the money.
Charles has calculated that with Wetland City's tax revenue, three to four thousand gold coins a year is not a problem. This is after taking into account necessary expenses.
In other words... equivalent to 60 to 70 million RMB.
Of course, it is impossible for anyone to exchange that much money in the game every year, but this does not mean that future games will not be released to public beta.
In the future, the number of gamers will be 5 million, or even 50 million... There will be many rich people at that time, won't it be easy to exchange money
And by that time, Wetland City will further develop.
The economic system of this game is very realistic.
The amount of gold is limited, this is a real world.
There is no Jiaozi, no money, and almost no inflation.
This is the reason why Charles, knowing that Beta might die, would rather offend F6 than fight for it.
His plan is to mobilize public opinion, work with netizens to turn Wetland City into public ownership, and then occupy a small piece of cake first, and then slowly erode it, secretly mobilize public opinion, and turn public ownership into private ownership again.
The people around him are quite good at this.
But he didn't expect that Roland would just say: inheritance.
This is no less than a killer weapon.
All of a sudden, his moral high ground was destroyed.
Charles pursed his lips and looked at Roland quite unhappily.
After a while, he said: "Do Beta's parents know how to play this game?"
"Whether they know how to play or not, that's their business, not something you, Charles, should consider." Roland slowly walked into the city hall.
Here, he also saw an acquaintance.
Gelton Zell.
A half-elf, the chief of Beta's Knights of the Round Table.
Roland ignored Charles and walked over and asked, "Gelton, what are your plans?"
"Master, is he really dead? Died in the world of your golden sons?" Gelton asked.
Roland nodded silently.
Galton looked at the back of his hand. There used to be a silver sword-shaped coat of arms there, but now it was gone, as if it had never appeared before.
"Then I have to leave." Gelton looked at the crowd around him and smiled sadly: "A wetland city without an owner is not worth my stay."
Roland sighed and asked, "Where are the other members of the Knights of the Round Table?"
"We have finished walking one after another." Gelton sighed: "Actually, we have already understood that something happened to the master. I just want to be here and wait for you to give me real and reliable news. Alas, why are good people so short-lived? ?”
Roland didn't know how to answer this.
At this time, a maid rushed down from the upstairs of the city hall. She ran and screamed: "Oops, something happened, Lisa... Lisa..."
"What's wrong?" Roland hurriedly walked up and asked.
"She slept in her own vagina, so much blood... so much..." The maid looked pale and spoke incoherently.
"Which floor is she on?" Roland asked anxiously.
"Third floor."
Roland immediately rushed up, and Gordon followed suit.
Charles and several UP owners looked at each other and chased after them.
On the third floor, Roland immediately smelled a strong smell of rust. He followed the smell and ran to a room. When he opened it, he found a woman lying on her back with a dagger stuck in her chest.
The blood flowed almost all over the bed, and it had thickened and turned black. It took some time for something to happen.
Roland sensed the woman's mental power, and then shook his head.
died!
There are no mental fluctuations. This aspect is more accurate than brain wave detection.
Charles and others rushed in... Then several UP owners gathered around and took pictures.
Galton said with disappointment beside him: "She is probably the saddest person when the master dies. After all, she has been with the master for almost eight years, serving him closely, and respecting the master from the bottom of her heart. Suicide is not surprising to her."
Roland looked at the woman's face again and found that she was probably in her early twenties. She was not very pretty, but the more he looked at her, the more familiar she felt, and then the memory came back to her.
This maid... was the dying girl he rescued in the cave when he and Beta went to Delbon City.
After that, she became Beta's maid. Unexpectedly, she followed him all the way here and never left her. Even after Beta died, she followed her.
"Could it be a murder?" Charles whispered beside him: "This woman seems to have a good relationship with Beta, and she may have inheritance rights. Maybe some people don't like her, so they kill her and fake the scene."
At this time, Gelton suddenly said: "You were the one who killed me. Just half an hour ago, you were talking to others below about the master's death and the need to re-establish a new administrative system. Ms. Lisa didn't believe it and even talked to others. You were arguing. You kept yelling at her, saying that the master was dead, that he was dead, and then she walked away in despair. "
Charles stiffened.
Several UP owners also looked embarrassed.
At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room was so dense that it went crazy.
Roland put his hand on Charles' shoulder and asked calmly: "Is this the case?"
