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

Chapter 262 Croak! They're from a wealthy family!

"Eeeeeeeee~~~~~"

Under the strange gazes of Roland and Kalia, the Demon King suddenly made a strange noise, and then his entire gauntlet trembled.

It was like suddenly getting goosebumps all over my body.

It's a pity this guy has no skin tissue, otherwise the effect would have been more obvious.

They had already returned to their lodgings in the village and were sitting by the fireplace, lost in thought.

Upon seeing this, Roland put down the book in his hand and looked at the Demon King beside him, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing... I just feel like there's some guy trying to call back my soul."

In front of the two who knew his true gender, the Demon King stopped using his deep, bubbly voice and answered in his natural voice.

Kalia glanced at the Demon King hanging on the back of the chair and asked, "Soul calling? Did you sense something?"

"Hmm..." the Demon King responded, "I have a feeling that someone I know is talking about me."

Kalia: "What are you muttering about?"

"How could I possibly know that!" the Demon King retorted irritably. "Just shut up, Roland is still reading."

Roland smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm quite interested too. Why don't you continue?"

"What the hell?! You've read all those books?"

The Demon King quelled Roland's curiosity.

Roland's answer was equally shocking: "I wouldn't say I've read them all, but I've found that some of the content overlaps and repeats, so there's no need to read them all."

"I've already reviewed most of the basic introductory knowledge."

"Right now, we're just filling in the gaps. If all goes well, I can go see Master Russell tomorrow morning."

The Demon King was taken aback: "Are you serious?"

“Of course.” Roland pointed to the books he had piled up on his left: “I’ve read them all.”

"Although it only accounts for one-third of the total, the remaining two-thirds are mostly repetitive content, and the important knowledge is basically all here. I have carefully screened it."

"You're pretty good, kid." The Demon King said irritably, then went back into energy-saving mode and stopped talking no matter how much Roland poked him.

"Looks like the power's gone out." Roland sighed, then continued reading.

Kalia asked curiously, "You really understand everything? In just these few days?"

"I know a little, I know a little." Roland gave a deliberately profound look, then closed the book in his hand and gently tapped Kalia's head with the spine of the book: "And you, haven't you been bored these days?"

“No,” Kalia replied decisively, “That’s how I’ve spent most of my life!”

"And I also know a little about alchemy, albeit only medicine. I learned it from the old woman before."

Roland laughed: "I had forgotten you had this skill."

"So, do you really understand? Or are you just pretending to know what you don't?"

Kalia's face showed a rare serious expression as she stared intently at Roland, as if trying to glean an answer from his face.

"This is a very important matter concerning your health! We can't be careless!"

"Let me test you!"

"If you can't answer this, I'll have to supervise your studies, Roland."

Roland smiled, closed the book, and gestured for Kalia to ask a question.

Soon, Kalia displayed an academic level that far exceeded Roland's expectations.

Her claim of having "a little alchemy" was clearly just modesty.

Although there is a significant difference between simply making alchemical potions and true alchemy.

But as it was written in a book he had just read.

The purpose of alchemy is not to create gold, but to prepare the finest elixirs. It is to achieve both material and spiritual salvation! — Paracelsus

Hmm, the person who said that looks familiar.

While answering Kalia's unexpectedly tricky questions one by one, Roland picked up the book spine and began to examine it.

Well, the third of the books I read were all written by my new teacher.

As for those books that I thought were useless, they were all written by other people.

What is this? Is it part of a test?

Even though Roland's feelings were somewhat complicated at this moment, it didn't affect his answer to Kalia's question.

Although she still doesn't seem very bright, Kalia has proven with her knowledge that her IQ is not only not a problem, but is actually surprisingly high.

As for why he looks so clumsy...

It must be related to this guy's personality.

Looking at the unusually serious Kalia in front of him, Roland was somewhat lost in thought.

He then thought of Kalia, who had stood in front of him at the alley entrance to block the enemy.

Seemingly understanding something, Roland smiled and gently shook his head.

Kalia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled amusedly: "What? Are you bewitched by this witch's beauty? Or are you unable to answer? You should really continue studying, Roland!"

Roland didn't say anything, but simply reached out and pinched Kalia's face, then pulled her face to the left and right with force.

"Ugh! What are you doing?!"

"I just feel that when Leah gets serious, she's more like a witch. Her usual lazy demeanor definitely makes her seem a bit dim-witted."

Before the emotions in Kalia's eyes reached their limit, Roland released his guilty little hand.

Kalia pouted, then began to gather shadows in her hand, conjuring a hammer.

Kalia, holding the hammer, looked at Roland for a while, then reluctantly broke the hammer apart.

Then, as if in retaliation, Kalia reached out, trying to pull her face back to its original position. The Demon King: "..."

Such a cheesy couple.

I'd better fly far away myself.

The demon king, who had originally planned to play dead, still couldn't bear to look at what was happening in front of him.

Although in her gauntlet form she can only sense the external environment through magical perception, she is therefore unable to precisely control her senses.

Either perceive it, or don't perceive it.

The Demon King, having "escaped" the cloying scene, flew to the window.

Actually, there are some things she hasn't told Roland yet.

For example, she sensed the prototype of the Demon King's Hand nearby, but those guys were too fast to track or accurately perceive them.

I should have known better than to install teleportation spells on these things!

Fortunately, those prototypes seemed to be looking for something.

She would just have to wait a few days until Roland mastered his divine skills, and then she would help him arrange a transcendent advancement ceremony.

Hehehe, then we'll dismantle these armors one by one and build our own new ones!
Well, it would be best to ask Roland for some of the special metal that made up his glove.

That way you can handcraft a body yourself!

The Demon King didn't consider whether Roland would agree to this.

This conclusion was drawn from her observations of Roland over this period of time.

But... what exactly is that kid Danso planning to do?
Runestone?

What exactly is happening to the Demon race?
Just as she was having a brainstorming session, a somewhat unexpected guest walked in.

"Hey! My dear student! How's your studies going? Your teacher's here to see you!"

Russell, who appeared to be around the same age as Roland and Kalia, walked into the house carrying a small barrel and wearing an unexpectedly happy and sunny smile.

"Oh dear, I thought it would take some time to find the two of you."

"I didn't expect you to build such a unique house. I knew it was your house without even asking."

"Oh, right, did you discover any little secrets your teacher left behind?"

Roland: "..."

It seems that the tragedy I predicted for Toran will not repeat itself.

Compared to Toran, who at least maintains a teacher's demeanor and has a firm grasp on his temperament, Russell clearly doesn't adhere to as many rules.

If you disregard her youthful and beautiful face, she's definitely a female alcoholic.

Under Kalia's scrutinizing gaze, Roland pointed to the textbooks that had already been categorized and said, "Aren't those the ones on the left the ones I really need to read?"

"After all, the author's signature is Paracelsus."

Russell paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, patting Roland on the shoulder as he laughed: "Hahahaha! You really are a genius! I didn't misjudge you!"

"Your eyes are different from most people's, especially compared to your girlfriend's!"

"She doesn't seem very bright, while your eyes have been sparkling with wisdom the whole time! Hahahaha!"

Kalia: "???"

No, I didn't offend you, Master, did I? It's one thing to praise Roland, but why did you have to compare yourself to him?

She's hitting Roland so hard... What if she accidentally breaks it?! Who'll fill in the gap in her lover then?

The Demon King, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly remembered why he had been chasing after this guy back then.

Okay, although I still can't remember the exact reason, it should be related to this guy's personality and his mouth.

I guess he said something that annoyed him.

This sharp tongue of Kalia's is probably due to her being clumsy with words but kind-hearted (probably), plus she genuinely needed someone's help.

Otherwise, I'll unleash a torrent of trash talk back.

Roland silently used Flash to slightly adjust his position, then said, "So, teacher, you came here today just for this?"

Russell waved his hand: "How could that be! Although it's been hundreds of years since I've seen a satisfactory student."

"But I, your teacher, am definitely more reliable than that petty, flat-chested elf!"

"I'm here to offer you a treatment plan!"

Russell tossed out a parchment scroll as he spoke.

The scroll, once thrown out, unfurled in mid-air, revealing a series of pictures and texts.

Here, take a look.

"The top layer contains the basic materials for constructing the circuit, and the layers next to it contain the materials for inscribing runes."

"The lower half is the personalized adjustment plan, and I've been busy with that these past few days!"

"Ahem, but let me make it clear beforehand, my financial situation isn't great, so you'll have to find these materials yourself."

"But if you can get someone of that caliber to suppress your injuries, you shouldn't be short of these materials."

Looking at the various plans suspended in mid-air, Roland felt a warmth in his heart.

Well, although it seems unreliable, it's actually quite reliable.

Without carefully examining the plan, Roland simply gestured to Kalia with his eyes, instructing her to write down the basic information and then send a message to Isfar, asking the Empire to look for it.

The entire bill is on your behalf, Your Excellency!
Seeing Roland's reaction, Russell didn't show it, but she was secretly laughing her head off!
Wow! They're big spenders! Now I don't have to worry about funding anymore!
In her eyes, the person in front of her was not her student.

It's their own God of Wealth!
I have to take good care of him; I can't let this rich sucker who's willing to study the dreaded field of biological alchemy get away.

We must use personal connections to keep him on our side! Whatever this man's needs may be, we must do our best to meet them!
