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

Chapter 14 That’s it, let’s eat first

The rest of the conversation didn't last long.

After showing Odmeyer the pendant that Kalia had escorted him, the other party couldn't recognize what the thing was used for.

After all, he was just a five-ring melee warrior and couldn't understand the magician's complicated methods.

This was within Roland's expectations, but the other party also said that he would let reliable people collect relevant information.

Odmeyer also gave Roland a small box that could block magic fluctuations, so Kalia no longer had to wrap the pendant with her cloak.

Roland also handed the miniature map to Odmeyer, hoping that he could check for any problems.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

"Things are going well, why are you so sad?"

In a coffee shop not far from the city defense army headquarters, Kalia sipped her coffee while looking at Roland, who was frowning in front of her.

It was rare for her to be so relaxed because Odemeyer had just issued a new round of martial law and started to investigate the group of men in black.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Odermeyer is hiding something from us."

"Really? I think he's quite sincere. He said everything he needed to say, didn't he? He can't be lying to us, right?"

"And you didn't tell the whole story. You didn't tell the colonel about the communicator."

Roland shook his head. "Everything he told us must be true, but he's hiding something."

"He believes we are trustworthy, but he is also afraid that someone will extract the most crucial information from us."

"And... the Chaos Brotherhood, there's never any peace wherever these guys appear."

"As for the communicator, I modified it and have another use for it. It's related to the plan that the Colonel and I have."

Kalia tilted her head, somewhat confused about what Roland meant.

From her perspective, things were going well and were almost resolved.

She didn't know what Roland was worried about at the moment.

In fact, Roland had no doubts about Odermeyer before leaving the headquarters.

First, he believed in the character of the old colonel, and second, he could see that both parties were sincere in the conversation just now.

But it is obvious that the old ones are still the best. Roland, whose combined age in his two lives is not as old as Odmeyer, still cannot beat the old fox.

He even almost overlooked a rather crucial issue.

mouse.

If he hadn't seen a rat running past them at the gate before leaving the city defense headquarters and then being easily taken care of by the patrol soldiers, he would have almost forgotten the task reward given by the system last night.

And looking at the skilled look of those soldiers, their expressions as if they were used to it, their expressions as if they had killed countless rats before...

Roland felt as if he had found the key to the problem.

The originally fragmented clues seem to have an answer at this moment.

He took out the map he had copied in advance and looked at the five locations displayed on it: the Governor's Mansion, the City Defense Army Headquarters, the Water Supply Center, the Port, and the Magic Train Transfer Hub.

Roland raised his head and looked at Kalia who was about to enjoy the cake in front of him. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You can eat first and then go home. Here is the key."

Roland took out the room key from his pocket and placed it on the table, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

Kalia's tone became unusually serious. She frowned and reached out to grab Roland's arm: "You can't leave!"

"what?"

Why can't I leave?
Just looking at Kalia's expression, Roland began to murmur in his heart.

Could it be that this girl is also hiding something? As expected of the evil witch designated by the system, she's not as dumb as she looks! Could it be that she's finally ready to reveal her true intentions?!
Kalia pulled Roland back and said seriously, "You haven't paid yet."

Roland said calmly, "The bill has been paid. The coffee and your chocolate cake have already been paid for."

"Hey, actually..."

Kalia's expression instantly changed from serious to embarrassed. "Actually, I just saw that this shop has a lot more desserts than I expected, and many of them I haven't tried!"

"As expected of the Empire's renowned commercial capital! There's more delicious food here than in the remote Blackthorn Territory!"

"I couldn't help myself and... accidentally ordered a little more."

Kalia said as she stuck out her tongue and made a little gesture with her finger.

Roland fell silent. He stopped and sat back in his seat.

After a while, the waiter came over with a large tray, and then placed the snacks, cakes and other food on the tray on the table in an orderly manner.

The sheer quantity and variety of the food made Roland think that every dish served in the coffee shop should be on the table by now.

Kalia lowered her head, occasionally glancing up at Roland's reaction.

After realizing that Roland didn't seem too angry, he mustered up some courage to speak: "Don't worry, I didn't order any of those expensive snacks."

"... Never mind. I haven't eaten anything this morning, so I'll just have something to eat."

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

Roland chose to follow the mysterious wisdom of the ancient East, and he really needed some time to think about his course of action.

Anyway, I just received a commission of 500 Golden Eagle Coins, so I don’t mind spending the money for a meal.

After saying that, Roland took the lead and picked up the fork. He found a piece of butter bread that looked very soft and started eating.

Although the snacks looked very exquisite, Kalia did not lie. She did not order any expensive snacks. Most of them were cakes, bread, biscuits and the like.

It is indeed a snack that often appears in cafes.

Seeing that Roland was not angry, Kalia began to admit her mistake: "Sorry, I will bring my own money next time."

"It's okay, it's just a meal. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll only be together for a few days." Roland didn't care too much: "As long as you follow instructions and don't run around everywhere, it'll be fine."

"Don't you find it strange that your teacher, Ms. Fram, didn't come forward to retrieve the necklace herself?"

Seeing Roland mention his teacher, Kalia took the opportunity to complain: "That's right, if she knew someone would covet this thing, why didn't she just come and get it herself? It wouldn't even take her half a day to go back and forth between the capital and Blackthorn Territory!"

"Do you realize it? This is the weirdest thing about the whole thing." Roland finished the butter bread and tapped the table with his knuckles.

"But this is not something we need to think about right now. Just make sure those lunatics from the Chaos Brotherhood don't get the pendant."

Kalia seemed to realize that something was wrong. If the teacher had not added special magical codes to the communication magic, she would have suspected that the message was sent by the old woman.

Kalia was also curious at this moment: "Why are you and Colonel Odmeyer so sure it's the Chaos Brotherhood and not some other faction?"

"The reason is actually very simple. Just rule out the possibility that anyone would be interested in the information about Our Lady of Ulcers..."

Roland wanted to say something more, but suddenly he found that the portable communicator he had modified and hidden in his pocket began to emit a short alarm.

"Drip, drop, drop!!!"

"careful!"

Kalia's reaction was faster than Roland's. Before the alarm on the communicator sounded, she saw the man in a suit behind Roland who had just walked into the store and pulled out a revolver to shoot at Roland.

Before the man could pull the trigger, several shadow spears appeared from his shadow and pierced him through. His body was lifted up by the spears and hung in the air.

"Clap."

As the revolver fell from the man's body to the ground, screams filled the quiet cafe.
