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

Chapter 20 I love saying no to self-righteous people

Roland was amused by the words of the idiot in front of him.

"Don't you think there are contradictions in what you said?"

"One moment you say you won't let us go, and the next moment you say you'll let us go if we hand over the 'secret key'. You guys who call yourself Chaos Apostles, are you crazy?"

The middle-aged man in front of him, Mr. Parker, was not angry at all. He just smiled with obvious ill intentions: "How could that be? You must have heard it wrong."

As he spoke, he spread his hands, appearing very sincere: "Besides, you can't escape."

"That witch's innate magic, to put it bluntly, is just a way to enter the shadows through a ritual. If I hadn't been tied up at the time, I wouldn't have let George and Orion, two men without the necessary skills, chase after that witch."

"Now, that's where the good luck ends."

"Accept my proposal, hand over the 'secret key', and leave. It's a fair deal."

"As for the previous unpleasantness, I think I can forget about it. Isn't that good for both of us?"

Kalia looked at Roland nervously. This was the first time she realized the shortcomings of her own abilities.

She originally thought that even if they were besieged, Roland and she would not be a match for the enemy, but at least they could rely on her innate magic to go directly to the city defense headquarters to seek refuge.

But I didn't expect... that my innate magic would be restricted at this time.

But Roland was still calm at this moment.

Firstly, although he did regard Kalia's Shadow Escape Technique as a trump card at critical moments, he did not rely entirely on Kalia for his escape.

He stood in front of Kalia. Although he didn't see her expression, Roland could guess that Kalia must be confused by now.

Fortunately, Roland didn't have too many expectations of the other party from the beginning.

To put it bluntly, a stay-at-home girl who had been practicing in seclusion in the forest for sixteen years was able to evade pursuit for half a month, all thanks to the super escape ability given to her by her innate magic.

Now that her ability to escape has been disabled, the backup plan she subconsciously relied on is gone, so it's quite normal for her to panic.

Blocking her view myself also relieved her pressure.

Roland looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "The deal is fine, but you have to introduce yourself, right?"

"You definitely know my name, and I'm sure the Chaos Brotherhood has investigated me quite a bit."

"What about you, sir? What should I call you?"

"Clap, clap, clap." Mr. Parker clapped his hands and smiled. "As expected of a young talent who could pass the Royal Capital Magic Academy's assessment."

"You may call me Mr. Parker. So, what is your answer to the transaction between us?"

Roland closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked seriously, "Mr. Parker, are you saying that if I take the 'secret key' from Kalia and give it to you..."

"Will you really let the two of us leave here safely?"

Hearing Roland's words, Kalia's blood ran cold.

No, buddy, why are you planning to vote? And you yourself didn't believe that this guy would let us go at first, right?!

How could his stance change so quickly in an instant?

But she had no choice but to believe it.

Although Roland's behavior and words at this moment made her feel that Roland might really want to surrender to the enemy directly, she was just a witch who had just awakened her abilities. What could she do?
You can't just go out of control, right?

Although we can destroy the enemy that way, my teammates probably won't survive...

Thinking of this, Kalia tightened her grip on the staff in her hand and looked at Roland's back anxiously.

I hope he has other ideas.

"Hey~" Mr. Parker laughed strangely, a slightly crazy smile on his face. "Yes, of course I can promise you."

"This is a fair deal. I'll trade the 'Secret Key' for your two lives."

"Come on, give me the key~~~"

Mr. Parker was very happy at this moment.

Of course he would keep his promise and let the two go. They wouldn't survive the subsequent outbreak of the plague anyway.

It was simply a matter of dying now or soon. Once he cracked the seal on the Secret Key and injected its divinity and power into the plague known as the Demon King's Blood, nothing else would matter.

Everything of Riskan will become their offering to the God of Chaos!
It will be a great massacre!

When he thought about the great feat he was about to accomplish, even though he would die in this sacrifice, Mr. Parker still smiled brightly and looked expectantly at Roland not far away.

Roland lowered his head, turned slightly sideways, and reached out as if to take something from Kalia.

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Mr. Parker became more and more excited.

After all, there is a witch in front of them. If she becomes desperate and causes her abilities to go out of control, a lot of manpower will be lost on their side. If they are wiped out by the city defense forces or dragged by the two of them until the city defense forces arrive, it will add variables to the originally perfect plan.

There are already enough idiots in the organization, and they have made simple things complicated enough. Now it is better to avoid some conflicts, although he really wants to tear these two people into pieces.

Ah, as expected. Letting them die in the divine plague was too lenient.

It would be better to cut these bastards into pieces myself, as they go against the will of the God of Chaos and constantly obstruct my plans.

After all, he is an Apostle of Chaos, so it is quite reasonable for him to go back on his word.

Roland placed his hand on Kalia's shoulder and said, "Your deal is indeed quite good."

"But I refuse!"

"One of my favorite things to do, Roland Lancelot, is to say no to self-righteous people like you!"

"Eat shit, idiot!"

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Roland and Kalia flashed away from the spot.

Two seconds later, Mr. Parker, realizing he had been tricked, clenched his fists, and the ground within a hundred meters around him collapsed out of thin air.

"Find it for me!"

……

After using Flash six times in a row, Roland finally escaped from the port area with Kalia and returned to the streets of Riskan.

Roland leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, and looked at Kalia and asked, "How is it? Is the innate spell working?"

"Okay, that's fine!" Kalia nodded quickly.

"Why don't you run!?"

Upon hearing this, Kalia immediately dragged Roland into the shadows.

Just a few minutes after they hid in, they saw a conflict between the patrolling city defense forces and the lunatics of the Chaos Brotherhood.

"Looks like we're lucky. The thing he used to interfere with your innate spells should just be some kind of magical device. It'll be fine once you leave the area of ​​influence."

Roland was breathing heavily, obviously the consumption was greater than expected.

Kalia looked outside through the shadows. The city defense forces were being beaten back step by step and almost suffered casualties.

She wanted to help, but was afraid of revealing her position.

"Go ahead and do it... Besides, you don't have to go outside to cast the spell, right?" Roland said, panting as he put his arm around Kalia's shoulder. "Your potential is far greater than you think."

"I know what you're afraid of. You're simply afraid that what happened that night will happen again."

"But blindly suppressing it will only lead to an even more violent outburst."

"It's better to open it than to block it. Accept your power, don't reject it. Like you told me, innate magic is an extension of the witch's body."

"Accept it, control it... only then can you truly escape the nightmare you want to escape from."

After saying that, Roland smiled and gave Kalia a thumbs-up. "You can do it... Just like you saved me in the cafe, you can also save those city defense soldiers."

"It's up to you now. I need some time to recover my magic power."
