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

Chapter 34: Explosions Everywhere You Go
It's hard to describe Roland's expression after he saw the name of the new task released by the system.

It was a calmness mixed with despair amidst entanglement.

After a brief thought, he adjusted his sitting position and sat on the bed, then leaned towards the window with a slight frown, and then his whole body collapsed.

"Your mother!"

The ancient oriental elegant language came out of Roland's mouth.

I thought the Plague Demon City of Reskan was a rare event, but I didn’t expect there would be another expert!
Which idiot is causing this trouble again?
He just wanted to go to school quietly, and then use his diploma from the Royal Capital Magic Academy to get a job in the military or even stay in school to teach!

I thought that meeting Kalia would make my originally peaceful campus life troublesome, but I didn't expect that this royal capital, which should be the most stable and safe, would be in turmoil.

After calming down for a moment, Roland clicked on the mission briefing provided by the system.

【mission target】

[Phase 1 Mission: Find the body of the great magician Fram in the royal capital and determine the cause of her death.]

【After completing the task, the second stage task will be issued. 】

boom!
When Roland saw this task, he wondered if it would be too late for him to jump out of the car and stop going to this stupid school.

From the Ruiskan incident, we can see that although Brother Tongzi is smart, the information he provided was not wrong.

If it says yes, then there is a high probability that this is what will happen.

The good news is that this information must not come from the present. After all, Laofu left her room just two minutes ago and is obviously alive and well.

Besides, they haven't reached the royal capital yet.

"System, tell me the current date."

[It is now December 9th, 1039 in the Imperial Calendar... Error, error... Checking...]

[Correction: It is now December 1, 1040 in the Imperial Calendar.]

"Is there a specific mission briefing?"

[The novice guide has ended. Please investigate on your own.]

[Friendly reminder: After the fall of the capital, unknown changes occurred. Anyone who entered will not be returned.]

"Is Ms. Fram also included among those who have not returned?"

[The great magician Fram died before the fall of the royal capital.]

"That……"

[Host please explore on your own. 】

After that, no matter how Roland asked, the system only had this one sentence.

Well, it seems that this trick of asking questions can only be used once, and the system may not be as smart as it looks.

"After all, we managed to extract some information."

"As of now, it's still early."

"Today is December 9th, 1029. That's almost 11 years away... No, that might be when the mission started, not when the incident in the capital occurred."

Roland soon faced his first challenge.

He didn't know what happened and how the capital fell.

Just like the system said, this time he had to find clues himself.

The key point is that even the tasks are not opened at once. Judging from the situation, you may have to complete them one by one to unlock a new task.

I can't even use the method of reverse deduction through task information.

Moreover, even someone like Fram, who had lived for a thousand years, experienced the Demon King War, and even faced the Demon King directly, died.

It is hard to imagine what happened in the royal capital to cause the death of this legendary great magician.

Roland pondered for a moment, then gave up. He couldn't figure it out. He'd wait until he got to the capital to figure it out.

There is still one night left, so I should think about how to use the reward I just got.

After all, the time and cause of the fall of the royal capital are still unclear, so just in case, I'd better prepare more protective measures.

"Speaking of that original rune stone..."

"EIWAZ."

Roland tried to pronounce it again.

Soon, the mysterious symbol appeared on the back of Roland's hand.

Then a light green light covered Roland's body, flashed briefly, and then disappeared again.

This time, Roland finally understood the purpose of this mysterious item and realized what role it played in his body.

Just after Roland activated the power of the rune, a new spell appeared in his spell column in the system's attribute panel.

[Runestone Skill - World Tree's Shelter: Consumes a certain amount of magic power to activate "Invalidate", invalidating all spells targeting the host.]

[Consuming a large amount of magic power can temporarily make yourself invincible for 1 second. During this period, you will ignore all attacks, ignore any abnormal effects, and cannot be touched by any means. The above effects can only be used on yourself.]

[When the host fails to actively detect an attack directed at the host, the Nullification skill will automatically activate, granting the host 5 seconds of invincibility without consuming the host's own magic power.]

[However, after the passive is triggered, the Rune Skill will enter a cooldown of at least 24 hours, during which the Rune Skill cannot be used.]

The roots of the World Tree form the spinning wheel of fate, its branches weaving the cycle of the four seasons...

"I knew it!"

After seeing the effect of this original rune stone, Roland felt that the name really matched the effect of this skill.

The invalidation of rune skills is unconditional.

As long as he could react quickly, he could spend a quarter of his magic power to negate a spell.

Even if I only have three rings and my opponent has nine rings, I can use a quarter of my magic power to invalidate the attack.

Even if you don't react in time, and the opponent is unsportsmanlike and bullies the weak and attacks you secretly, this talisman stone can help you block a fatal attack.

Five seconds of invincibility is enough for you to use flash to escape to a relatively safe place.

If you add the Insight Badge you just obtained... Roland's chances of survival will be greatly improved!
"System, use random skill card."

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Primary Alchemy (Lv1/Lv10)]

"alchemy?!"

Roland was somewhat surprised to see the skills he had acquired and the additional knowledge in his mind.

It's not that I haven't learned alchemy before. I have some understanding of it and can make some healing potions with moderate effects.

But the system did not add alchemy to its skill list.

Until now, after integrating the knowledge that the system believes is necessary for basic alchemy skills, Roland feels that what he had learned before was still too superficial.

It's like learning English but only learning how to pronounce the 26 letters.

But this cannot be blamed entirely on Roland. There are not many alchemy masters in Riskan, but they do produce a lot of goods.

The cost of studying alchemy seriously is far beyond what the dog-father Lancelot can afford.

Roland was able to learn how to make healing potions thanks to his own talent. He read a few introductory books in the library, learned some alchemy knowledge, and then slowly tried it out on his own.

However, in libraries open to the public like the Great Library of Reskan, there would not be any profound books, or books for learning real alchemy.

Those alchemy masters spent a huge amount of money to monopolize this knowledge.

But now it seems that Roland may be able to pay less tuition.
