My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 102: Classic Snowstorm Villa, when do people start dying?
"What is this?"

Looking at the stone men all over the mountains, Roland started to exchange glances with Kalia.

This situation was not dangerous for Roland. With Kalia's escape skill and his own flash, it was not difficult to slip out of this range.

But Roland was obviously more curious about what the stone man in front of him was.

First of all, this can't be Warcraft.

Although it can sense magic power, it cannot sense any life breath coming from the small source in its body.

But this wasn't simply a product of a technique; it was somewhat different from the artificial puppets Roland had seen before.

Roland realized that the silly cat named Nash might know something, so he turned his attention to it.

"This, this is the demon clan's battle familiar!"

"Retreat quickly, it's difficult to deal with so many stone men!"

"I don't want to turn into a kitten patty!"

Roland tutted his words. "Are you really a dragon? How come you're even more cowardly than Kalia?"

"Hey, why are you comparing me to someone else?" Kalia, who had already summoned several shadow beasts to cover Roland, shouted in dissatisfaction.

Roland was not panicked. When Kalia's shadow beast fended off one of the stone men, Roland stopped panicking.

As long as he was in the front line that could withstand damage, Roland never backed down from a fight.

"Hey, silly cat, what's the difference between this familiar and a puppet created by puppetry?"

As he asked, Roland controlled the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to smash a stone man.

But the shattered stone man squirmed on the ground for a while and began to reassemble.

"Um...it's more intelligent. It can act on its own and perform simple actions as long as you set instructions in advance."

"But in essence, it's just an advanced puppet controlled by a spell."

Nash quickly explained, adding a quip: "Don't you humans teach about demons anymore?"

"That war only ended three hundred years ago!"

"Three hundred years is a long time for humans." Roland smashed another stone man and then asked, "So, this thing is essentially still driven by magic, right?"

"Ah."

"Then things will be much simpler."

Roland retreated behind a shadow beast, and then in his mind, he once again focused all the skill points given by the system on spell interference.

[Ding, allocation successful.]

[Spell Interference·Modified (LV6/Lv10), 2 skill points are needed before the next upgrade]

As the magic power in Roland's body surged, the interference spell released with all his strength instantly covered all targets within a 500-meter range around Roland.

The stone man and the shadow beast summoned by Kalia began to disintegrate.

The former turned into a pile of rubble after a brief outage.

There was no sign of reorganization.

The shadow beast disintegrated neatly into a pile of shadows, no longer having its previous ferocious appearance.

Kalia and Nash, who were watching Roland's behavior, showed expressions of disbelief.

Well, Kalia's expression wasn't that unbelievable. After all, she knew that Roland had similar methods.

But the scene of Roland just raising his hand and dozens of stone men and their shadow beasts falling down still made her stunned.

As for Nash...it was really shocked.

Although it did not have the pride of a dragon, even if it had it, it disappeared after it was turned into a cat and struck by lightning from Roland, which directly gave it the resurrection armor.

Not to mention that this human's methods are really... too weird.

It was so strange that even it, a top student in the underage dragon school, couldn't understand it.

This school doesn't teach similar skills?

After Roland dealt with the group of stone men, he saw a familiar figure behind a tree.

The other party gestured to him, knocked on the tree, and disappeared again.

After the other party disappeared, Roland flashed to the side of the tree and found a note nailed to the tree with a dagger.

[The demons exist within the Blackthorn Territory, and their power has grown immensely. Notify the capital to dispatch personnel to deal with them. Your ever-trustworthy bodyguard, Celinina.]

Roland: "..."

The information was good, but it was given a little late.

After silently silencing the note with fireball, Roland flashed back to Kalia and Nash.

"Let's go back to the main city first."

"Things are much worse than I thought."

"Kalia, if I remember correctly, Ms. Fram should have stayed in Blackthorn Territory when you were still a child, right?"

"This means that the demons are even able to hide from Ms. Fram and develop their own power here."

"Let's hand in the commission and leave immediately... Wait, why did it suddenly start snowing?"

Roland looked up suddenly and saw that the weather in the sky had changed drastically in just a few minutes.

The sky was originally a little gloomy, but in just a few minutes it began to snow.

And the momentum of this snowfall is obviously wrong!

"What a heavy snow! I've never seen such heavy snow in Blackthorn Territory since I was a child!"

Kalia was also stunned when she saw the snowfall suddenly increase in just a few minutes.

"Let's go back to the main city immediately... Of course, if we don't have time, we can stay in the tree house for one night. With Ms. Fram's barrier, our safety will be guaranteed."

Roland immediately changed his strategy.

At this rate of snowfall, visibility is almost impossible. Although Kalia's spells can make it unobstructed, but...

With such an abnormal climate change, Roland felt that the tree house was safer than the main city.

At least Fram's barrier can solve a lot of problems.

……

"How are the preparations going?"

"Almost done. The signal shielding has been activated, and the altar for releasing the celestial ritual is also operating successfully."

"Soon the snow will be so heavy that the Magic Train will be unable to pass."

"Based on experience, the outside world will notice the abnormality here within three days at most."

"To prevent exposure, we'd better complete the goal within three days."

"Has the target been confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed that a student from the Royal Capital Magic Academy has accepted a commission and will be heading to the mountain range where the Storm Dragon is located after noon."

"The storm soon disappeared, and the mountains disappeared with it. We also detected fluctuations in the power of the runestone."

"According to the covenant, we should capture and kill the holder of the Runestone for the Lords of the Royal Court, and then return the Runestone to the Royal Court."

In the Viscount's Mansion in Blackthorn Territory, Viscount Paxson was having the following conversation with Governor Cole.

Obviously, they are not human.

"The first wave of familiars we sent out for combat only lasted three minutes before being completely destroyed."

"The target this time is not that easy to deal with."

Governor Cole said, standing up. "We have to make a decision."

"In the end, we're abandoning thirty years of concealment and launching a plan that's not yet fully prepared."

"We should abide by the covenant and return the runestone to the royal court."

"Both of these are orders issued jointly by the Lords of the Royal Court."

The Viscount remained seated in front of the French window, shaking the crimson liquid in his glass. "To be honest, I don't want to obey any of them."

"I would rather stay here and be a Viscount for the rest of my life."

"Besides, compared to that plan which has no chance of success at all, returning the rune stone has a higher chance of success."

"This way, at least the land and the people living on it will not be affected in any way."

"It's time for you and me, the two fake viscounts and fake governors, to withdraw."

"To be honest, I kind of miss the snow in the north..."

Governor Cole looked at Viscount Paxson and said, "You've become Paxson. As a blood demon, you never would have thought of this before. You even stopped consuming human blood ten years ago."

"Really... maybe I really have changed a lot."

Paxson smiled, drank the chicken blood in the cup, then stood up and said, "Let's get everyone ready."

"Also, prepare all the available combat familiars. I will go there myself."

Cole looked a little surprised: "Are you really going to give up the plan?"

"if not?"

Paxson laughed. "Use the blood poison of the blood demon to make a poison that can transform humans into half-demons, transforming humans into puppets that obey the control and manipulation of the demons."

"Heh, we're even planning to trap an immature dragon and use its blood as a catalyst."

"But we couldn't even break through the protective spell on the young dragon."

"And even if the toxin is successfully developed, the success rate is still very delicate."

"This plan sounds great, but unless we can spread the poison throughout the empire in an instant and prevent the empire from discovering it, or the empire collapses on its own."

"Otherwise, this plan is simply not feasible."

"The poison will spread to a few surrounding territories at most before being blocked by the Empire."

"I'm tired of being a human viscount, Cole."

"Just bored?" Cole asked.

Paxson didn't answer. The white-haired viscount simply put on his cloak and walked out of the room.

Cole sighed and said nothing more.

Although thirty years is not a long time for the demons, in order to better hide, his and Parkson's mentality has inevitably changed after long-term role substitution.

As long as they capture the host of the rune and bring it back to the royal court, the Lord of the Royal Court will not blame them even if the plan fails.

Maybe that's what Paxson thought?
As long as he leaves this place, no one will activate the blood poison hidden in the residents' bodies, and those residents who have been infected with the hidden blood poison will be able to live quietly until the end of their lives.

Maybe... this is a really good choice.

Although the climate in Blackthorn Territory is much better than that in the North.

But he did miss the snow in the north...

Well, I will go back to my hometown after finishing this job. I haven’t seen my children for 30 years.

I don't know how he is now...

Thinking of this, he took out a button from his pocket and pressed it without hesitation.

"Then for the next three days... this place will be isolated from the outside world."

"Hope everything goes well."

Cole turned and walked out of the room.

As the governor, he needs to come forward and announce some reasons that are at least acceptable on the surface.
