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

Chapter 103 Silly Cat: Roland, have you also betrayed humanity?
The snow is getting heavier.

After only walking for ten minutes, a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.

The sight in front of my eyes almost disappeared.

Roland could only let Kalia lead him and Silly Cat forward through her innate spell.

But the further Roland walked, the uglier his expression became.

It wasn't because of the weather, but because he found that his communication magic and communication device were no longer usable.

There is an inexplicable magical fluctuation that is interfering with the normal use of communication magic.

This interference method is very sophisticated. If you cannot find the source of the interfering magic or leave its range of influence, you will not be able to eliminate this interference.

Roland's World Tree's protection and magical interference were powerless against this tactic.

Pure magical influence is not within the selection range of these two skills.

First there was the bad weather, then the communication was cut off... Roland had a bad feeling.

This almost means that the Blackthorn Territory has lost all means of contact with the outside world during this period.

Roland could only bet that Fram or Iluvia would notice something was wrong.

Of course, he can also exercise his subjective initiative to solve the current dilemma.

And he is not without help.

Considering the previous note, Roland could basically conclude that Celinina had followed him all the way from the capital to Blackthorn Territory.

A helper with eight-ring combat power, and also a warrior, is definitely enough to withstand the damage.

If we include ourselves and Kalia, there is still a chance to solve the trouble in Blackthorn Territory.

However, the biggest problem at the moment is that we don’t know who the enemy is.

The news that there are demons in the Blackthorn Territory was confirmed by both Celinina and Silly Cat.

Although Celinina was also a demon, considering that she still needed his help and she herself was also being hunted by the demons, she and Roland were in the same boat.

At least during this period of time, Roland could choose to trust the other party.

After all, Cellinina had never done anything to harm herself.

But now that the means of communication have failed...how can we contact the other party?

With a distressed heart, Roland returned to the tree house with Kalia and the silly cat.

Outside the tree house, Roland saw the familiar man in black.

Celinina was actually standing outside the barrier of the tree house, with a head full of snow, waiting for them to come back.

Just seeing this man in black of unknown origin obviously aroused some bad memories for Kalia.

The shadow spears scattered all over the ground stabbed at each other almost the moment the three people broke away from the shadows.

But the opponent just swayed and left Kalia's attack range. While shaking off the snow on his body, he came in front of Roland and Kalia.

Roland also held Kalia down at this time: "Calm down, Kalia, we are not enemies."

With Roland's comfort, Kalia calmed down temporarily, but the three giant shadow beasts she summoned, each ten meters tall, showed that Kalia was not completely calm.

The man in black, Cellinina, took off his hood.

With long black hair, a white headband on his head, princess-cut bangs, scarlet eyes, and two swords on his waist, it is impossible to tell that he is a demon.

Roland really wanted to ask where the other party's ears and tail were hidden.

But this occasion is obviously not appropriate.

But Kalia was more wary now.

She silently stood between Roland and Cellinina, staring intently at the strange woman in front of her who was taller and better-looking than her.

Roland had enough of one bad woman by his side; he didn't need a second one.

How can I defend against another one? I almost couldn't defend against one, how can I defend against two?

Celinina glanced at Kalia, whose performance was not beyond her expectations.

She directly spoke the words she had prepared long ago: "Excuse me, Master Tolan received a message from Roland asking for help, and he sent me to help."

"Just call me Cellinina."

"Ask for help?" Kalia turned around and glanced at Roland. "Didn't your communication magic just now fail?"

"Ahem...if it fails, some noise might be transmitted. The teacher is quite cautious."

"Even if it's as you said, the call for help came too quickly, didn't it? It only took us an hour to get back."

Roland looked at Celinina. He really had no way of explaining this.

Celinina, on the other hand, was very calm: "I recently hunted some monsters in the Blackthorn Territory to exchange for money, so I came here quickly."

"Really?"

Kalia obviously wouldn't believe it.

Even though this cool-looking woman showed no signs of lying, this guy's eyes were always on Roland.

"Don't worry, I'm not a suspicious person."

Only suspicious people would talk like that...

Roland muttered to himself, then said to Kalia, "Let's let her enter the barrier first. She's indeed a friend of the teacher. He introduced her to me."

"Also, if we don't go in, the cat will freeze to death."

Roland said this as he poked the silly cat that he was holding in his hand and was frozen silent.

"!!!"

"cat!"

Kalia let out a sharp cry, then quickly opened the barrier, letting Roland and Celinina in. Kalia then snatched the cat from Roland's hands and ran to the bathroom to run some hot water.

It seems that Kalia likes this silly cat very much.

But it is true that, regardless of its size, this silly cat does look quite cute.

It's the type that girls would like.

Of course, Roland still hoped that the other party could recover his dragon body.

Rather than someone who can only act cute, he still hopes that the other person can play a role.

Even if it can only shoot fireballs.

Cellinina took off her hood and walked naturally to a wooden table under the tree house, pulled out a chair and sat down.

By the way, he waved Roland over.

"You're so rude."

Sitting down opposite Celinina, Roland also asked, "Where are your ears and tail?"

"I hid it with some makeup tricks. Don't ask."

After giving Roland a blank look, Cellinina said, "You're in trouble, Roland."

"Remember what I said? After the Demon King War, the Lords of the Royal Court have been hunting down those who possess that stone."

"According to the Demonic King's Covenant, any demon who discovers someone possessing this stone must immediately report it to the King's Court. If they are able to capture the person, they must bring them back to the King's Court and execute them."

"The demons all have the means to sense the aura of this stone."

"You made too much noise just now. They must have discovered you."

"You've seen the demons' battle familiars, the stone men."

"Although these things don't have much effect in front of you, there is one thing you need to know."

"The ability to create familiars means that the demons hiding in the Blackthorn Territory possess at least one blood altar."

"And to build a blood altar requires a vast amount of wealth, and it's impossible without a certain amount of power."

"In other words, the demons targeting you possess considerable power within the Blackthorn Territory. Furthermore, they are able to develop such a force hidden in the heart of the empire, so their strength cannot be weak at all."

After hearing this, Roland held his forehead helplessly: "So what's your opinion?"

"Run." Cellinina's answer was clear and concise: "If you can, my advice is to run immediately."

"As much as I want to say this, I've tried it for you. The entire Blackthorn Territory is now trapped in a large magic circle."

"This heavy snow is the manifestation of the magic circle."

"Before the snow stops, anyone who attempts to leave Blackthorn Territory will encounter some kind of cyclical phenomenon."

"I've tried many times, but every time I'm about to leave Blackthorn Territory, I'll suddenly end up back at a fork in the road I passed before."

"But when we go back, there is no such phenomenon. Everything is normal."

"Obviously if you want to escape, there's only one way."

"Take the initiative, find those demons, or at least find a way to remove the interference from the communication."

"Don't rely too much on this barrier. It's a dead object after all. Not to mention others, you can easily destroy this barrier yourself, right?"

"This barrier is no longer under Fram's control. It can only operate based on established procedures and settings."

"It couldn't even see through my demon disguise."

"How can you be sure that the demons don't have similar means to bypass the barrier's detection, or even destroy it?"

Roland continued to ask, "Do you know any more information?"

"What do you think I am? I came to the Blackthorn Territory with you, and I was able to deduce all this only because of my common sense as a demon."

After complaining for a while, Celinina said, "In short, don't underestimate the importance the royal court attaches to this kind of stone.

"You are different from me. Someone like you who can freely use the power within it must be more careful of the demons' prying eyes."

"Try to be quieter next time."

As the two chatted here, Kalia came over with a white ball of fur in her hand.

"Roland, Roland, does a cat look like this after taking a bath?"

Roland poked the fur ball in Kalia's hand and said, "Kalia, first of all, this isn't a real cat. Nash just looks like a cat."

"So if there's anything weird, just ignore it."

"Also, why isn't it making any noise? Could it be dead?"

"I...I'm not dead yet..."

Nash's voice came out from the ball of fur, and then he jumped down from Kalia's hand with all his strength. After rolling back and forth twice on the ground, he miraculously recovered to his original state.

But the moment Nash looked at Cellinina, the other party instantly turned on the Spinosaurus mode, arched its back, and its fur stood up.

"!!!"

"Meow! It's a demon! Why are there demons here too?"

"Quack! Roland, are you also a traitor?! You're actually connected to the demons!"

"Although I'm not human, I still want to spit on you on behalf of humans!"

Kalia stepped forward, grabbed the silly cat by the scruff of the neck, and lifted it up: "What are you talking about? This is clearly a human, isn't it?"

"Yes, Miss Cellinina?"

Celinina sighed, then stood up: "Yes, I am a demon."

Kalia: “…”
