A long time later, Roland finally came back to himself. He dragged the old man to his feet and said, "I'm here to save you. You will leave with me right now. I can at least keep you two safe."
After a shock, the old man was both excited and scared. He quickly ran to the boy who just fell and took him back to Roland. In the meantime, he looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone else would hurt him and his grandson.
"Follow me." Roland examined the surroundings and found a way to the city gate.
He also snapped his fingers to cast Body Fortification, Agility, Endurance, and other buffs on the old man.
Feeling strong and comfortable, the old man trotted after him.
At this point, the boy who was no older than four suddenly cried at the remains of a house on the old man's shoulder, "I want Mom! I want Mom!"
The old man closed his eyes in pain.
