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

Chapter 300: We Must Be Wary of This!

"Hey~~~ I didn't expect Roland to barge into a girl's room in the middle of the night."

Kalia, who was perched on Roland's back, curiously poked Roland's cheek with her finger: "Oh dear, if it weren't for your familiar scent, I would have thought I'd encountered a fake."

Roland sighed and removed Kalia's finger from his own, then asked somewhat speechlessly, "Didn't you notice anything that just happened?"

"What just happened?" Kalia blinked her big eyes, which were filled with clear confusion and bewilderment.

"..."

After briefly summarizing what had just happened, Roland looked up at the window. Flam was already sitting on the windowsill, quietly watching the two of them.

This made Roland swallow back the words he had originally intended to say about Kalia's shadow "eating people."

Of course, Roland didn't intend to hide it from Flam; he just wanted to hear what the guy had to say first.

The battle outside ended with his intervention, and the powerful figures who had rushed over hurriedly went back to sleep after the enemy was killed.

Roland hadn't concealed his presence, so once the others realized it was Roland who had done it, they all left.

Some particularly curious creatures, like Erebus, might linger for a couple of seconds, but then quickly move on.

Only Furam, instead of going back to rest, came looking for her.

And he looked preoccupied.

Such an obvious expression is rare on this elf who doesn't have many facial expressions.

"So everything's alright after all..."

When she saw the young couple being all lovey-dovey, Furam knew that her worries were unnecessary.

Although she was well aware that Roland would not be a match for a true powerhouse in terms of raw strength.

But this kid is very cunning. Unless he is absolutely certain of victory, he will not impulsively go head-to-head with anyone. Roland's true strength lies in his set of special skills tailored for mages and a bunch of trump cards that even Floram himself is unaware of.

Moreover, after experiencing so much, she began to accept the Demon King's words—Roland could never be some ordinary commoner genius.

During the time Roland was away from Isfar, Flam was not idle either.

Given Kalia's situation, Roland's unique circumstances are something she must investigate.

Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps out of unease about the unknown, Flam took many actions in this regard.

After realizing that Roland might have experienced a near-death experience, she immediately used communication magic to contact her teacher in Avalon.

Unfortunately, the old man who claimed to have mastered all the magic in the world didn't know who Roland really was, so he had to go to a more authoritative figure—the Elf King Thran himself.

The good news is that he did indeed know, according to Flam's teacher, that Thran's expression after hearing the question was quite remarkable.

The bad news was that the Elf King Thran refused to reveal a single detail, only saying that the World Tree must have its own selection criteria, thus brushing the question off.

However, on the issue of the Holy Sword recognizing its master, the sword's forger did not remain silent. He simply had Flam's teacher relay a message, asking Flam to take Roland to Avalon when he had time, as he had some things he wanted to say to Roland.

Ok……

At this point, Flam was basically certain of one thing.

Although Roland appears to be underage, he harbors the soul of an ultimate old man.

The personality Roland is exhibiting at this moment is most likely a new consciousness arising from the fact that the old things within him have not awakened.

After all, if it were the old man himself, putting aside cultivation speed and talent for the time being... there are many issues he wouldn't need to worry about.

But when that old man's consciousness awakens... will Roland still be the Roland I know and love?

Although it was strange, this worry did indeed arise in Frum's mind.

Of course, this worry manifested in reality as Flam sitting on the windowsill, staring intently at Roland, occasionally pursing her lips as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

This hesitant and indecisive demeanor was something even Kalia found unusual.

She whispered in Roland's ear, "Roland, did you make the old woman angry?"

"...Do you even dare to call her an old woman to her face now?"

"Hehe, what does it matter? You're here, aren't you? You wouldn't just stand by and watch her lecture me, would you?"

"Hard to say."

"Hey!"

Kalia lightly pinched Roland's soft waist, annoyed. "Don't change the subject! What happened to the old woman? Do you have any clue?"

"How am I supposed to know... Didn't you and I just get back from Pratia?"

Roland retorted irritably, "And didn't you notice? Although she was staring at us, she was actually daydreaming."

"Neither of us lowered our voices when we spoke, but she didn't react at all."

Reminded by Roland, Kalia realized, "Oh right! The old woman has excellent hearing. We're so close to her now, and she doesn't react at all."

As she spoke, Kalia walked forward.

Although Kalia had always been critical of a certain elf who claimed to be underage, she still cared about it despite her complaints.

After realizing that something was wrong with Flam, Kalia, still wearing her cartoon bear pajamas, walked up to Flam and waved her hand: "Hey, old lady, are you alright?" "I'm fine."

Frum responded calmly, nodded to Kalia, and then continued to stare at Roland.

Kalia sensed something was wrong, then flashed in front of Roland and shielded him behind her.

Although it's probably impossible, there are some things we have to be wary of.

He had just called her an old woman right in front of Flam, and she hadn't reacted at all?!
Forget about giving them a lesson, they didn't even utter a brief scolding!
For Kalia, it was almost as bizarre as the sun rising in the west and then suddenly falling to the ground!
Considering the unusual behavior of this seemingly young elf and the way she was staring intently at Roland, Kalia activated her food-protecting mode.

Seeing Kalia suddenly spread her arms to block his way for some unknown reason, Roland was speechless. He reached out and patted Kalia's shoulder, then walked past her to Flam.

"Ms. Flam, please say what you want to say."

"It's already past midnight, and the meeting is starting in a few hours."

Roland yawned as he spoke.

He was really tired.

He would have left long ago if he hadn't been concerned that Flam might have something important to say.

They'd been staring at each other for a few minutes now, and Roland figured there was no need to wait any longer.

If Flam has nothing to say, or hasn't decided whether to say anything, he'll go back to sleep first.

After waking up, there's a meeting; after the meeting, there's the task of creating a plan and figuring out how to implement it...

However, this time Flam did not remain silent.

She looked at Roland seriously, then asked, "Roland... can you guarantee that you will always be yourself?"

Kalia, who was also looking forward to what questions Flam would ask, was speechless after hearing Flam's words: "Hey, is this a question or a riddle?"

However, Roland, who had just heard a lot of information from the Demon King and Elena, unexpectedly understood the meaning behind Flam's words.

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean, if you're afraid that something like possession might happen to me, then you don't need to worry at all."

"Is that all you wanted to say, Ms. Flam?"

Frum shook her head, seemingly relieved, and continued, "Now comes the important matter."

"My king Thrann of my people wishes to invite you to Avalon. It seems he has something to say to you."

"Don't worry, there will be a special teleportation method to take you there. You won't need to take a boat or fly."

"Since it was the King's idea, and you have been recognized by the World Tree, Avalon itself will not refuse your entry."

"Moreover, Avalon doesn't have any communication barriers; a simple communication spell can solve many problems."

So, do you want to go?

Roland shrugged. "It seems there's no reason not to go. After all, we can use a state visit as an excuse for a vacation, can't we?"

"However, the specific timing will depend on what the meeting says tomorrow."

"If everything goes smoothly and we can come up with a reasonable plan, then we should go to Avalon before implementing the plan. According to you, it shouldn't take much time to go through the portal twice and have a word with the Elf King."

Since there was an opportunity to go to Avalon, Roland had no reason to refuse.

The World Tree... He had long wanted to see its true form.

Especially since this invitation came from the other party... there's something quite intriguing about that.

Moreover, King Thranan was the master craftsman who forged the holy sword Durandal and the Silenced Blade. Since I had traveled all this way, it was only right that he would send me some gifts.

No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation.

After receiving Roland's reply, Fram nodded and said, "Then come find me when you've decided on a time."

"Also, when you go to the island, don't bring the Demon King with you."

To be precise, only you were invited this time, with me being the only one accompanying you.

"Hey!" Kalia suddenly appeared: "Does that mean I can't go with them?"

“That’s right. Don’t try to take advantage of any loopholes, Leah. The elves’ teleportation spells are very precise, and the teleportation array that leads directly to Avalon is not a spell that can be opened casually.”

"The spell itself will recognize the magical aura of the person entering it."

"If you're not on the identifiable list, even if you walk into the teleportation array, it won't take you away."

Kalia slumped down immediately.

Her aura seemed to have weakened considerably.

Roland smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, I'll bring you some local specialties... if I have any."

"Oh well, never mind. It's not like I'm the only one who can't go with you. Thinking about it that way, I feel pretty much at peace with myself."

Kalia said this, then waved her hand, "Alright, you should go and get some rest too, you have a meeting tomorrow, don't you?"
