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

Chapter 48 Gold Accidentally Enters the Professional Tournament

The system's reminder made Roland realize that Fram's death was not as simple as a disciple's backstabbing.

At least if Kalia just gives her a blow, it's unlikely that this old monster will be harmed.

After hearing what Kalia said, Fram also took the initiative to speak.

"No." Fram's expression became serious: "Since we all know their plan, it would be too embarrassing to let them succeed."

"After being lazy for so long, these guys probably have forgotten my former name."

"What was your former name?!" Roland swallowed his saliva. "Could it be Fram the Destroyer?"

"Hey, how did you know? I didn't expect you to know something about history." Fram was quite surprised, then she stood on tiptoe and patted Roland's shoulder happily.

Of course, if Roland hadn't bent down slightly, Fram wouldn't have been able to reach his shoulders even if she stood on tiptoe.

"..."

Is this really the name? Someone's character is becoming more and more repetitive...

Fram continued to explain: "Don't forget, the Forbidden Magic Stone Blade is ineffective against those above the seventh ring."

"Many people are deceived by the name of the Forbidden Magic Stone Blade. In fact, the Forbidden Magic Stone Blade itself is not a magic insulator."

"On the contrary, it itself is a very good magic energy storage material."

"The reason it can disrupt magic power and prevent people from using it is because it absorbs magic power itself. In addition, there is already magic power in it. The two combined will disrupt the normal operation of the small source magic power."

"So, anyone stabbed by the Forbidden Magic Stone Blade will be unable to use magic and spells until it is removed."

"But its influence is only on the small source, and it cannot affect the magic of the big source."

After Fram finished speaking, he gave Kalia a faint smile: "So don't worry, Leah, even if you are really controlled."

"Just as Roland guessed, he took advantage of my guard and stabbed me with a magic-suppressing stone knife. It couldn't have had much of an impact on me."

Fram touched Kalia's head and said, "Be good, don't take this kind of thing too seriously. Just do your own thing. Don't touch any weird things, and don't get in touch with any weird people."

"If you see anything strange, remember to tell me and Roland immediately. If all else fails, you can always ask Iluvia. She's the princess!"

"Princess, princess?!"

Kalia suddenly looked at Iluvia who was looking at her with a smile.

"Yes, Princess." Fram was a little surprised: "Haven't you introduced each other?"

Kalia: “…”

Damn it, when did Roland get into this kind of relationship?!
Forget it, what's wrong with being a princess? Can a princess do whatever she wants?
Can the princess skip the queue and not follow the first-come, first-served principle?!
Ah, you said she and Roland knew each other earlier than me, so I, Kalia, was the one who came?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
At this time, Roland also asked the question that he cared about most.

"Iluvia, Ms. Fram, I have a question for you."

"I'm not surprised that Iluvia was assassinated. She has been confirmed as the heir to the throne, so it's normal for someone to target her."

"But...why are you doing this?"

Roland expressed his confusion: "I know that His Majesty the Emperor is your student, and I also know that you were Iluvia's first teacher."

"But even so, you haven't announced who you support yet, right?"

"Even if you might support Iluvia, as long as you don't take clear action to oppose that group, they won't have to take action against you."

"No matter what, you are a legendary magician, and there are only a few of you in the entire continent."

"Taking the initiative to attack you and those around you is not only not guaranteed to succeed, but there's also no real need to do so. No matter how you look at it, it's not in the best interest of the party."

"After all, this will only make you more determined to stand on Iluvia's side."

Roland actually hadn't said anything more.

He felt that Fram was hiding something from him, just like Kalia had been selective in revealing things at first when she was in Riskan.

It's really a bad habit that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Although there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

But at this point, if you still keep things secret, wouldn't that just add variables to an incident that could have been resolved smoothly?
Fram showed that familiar expression again: = w =
"Although I still can't tell you, I'm sure they want something in my hand, so they want to take action against me."

Fram still didn't tell the whole truth, but she did reveal some useful clues.

"The secret key?"

Roland immediately thought of the Cross Scales of Truth pendant, which contained a portion of divinity and divine power.

If the other party really comes for this, it is indeed possible.

"No, that thing isn't as important as you think... At least I don't think anyone would go against me because of it."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to get through these three hundred years smoothly."

"It's something else more important than this."

Roland was silent, while Iluvia was slightly thoughtful, as if she knew something.

But she chose to remain silent and just watched Roland and Fram continue their conversation.

Roland didn't ask any further.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Iluvia on the side also spoke: "I have arranged for the hatter to investigate."

"No matter what, the presence of members of the Chaos Brotherhood within the capital is no small matter."

"Not to mention, these guys just attempted to instigate a divine plague in Riskan. Their intentions in entering the capital at this juncture are still unknown."

"The most crucial question is... how did they bypass the capital's entry control?"

Fram interrupted Iluvia when he heard this: "I know that someone is colluding with a bishop of the Chaos Brotherhood."

"It was two beings of the same rank who managed to tamper with the communication link between me and Leah and pass on false information to her."

"You've definitely heard of the Hellfire Archbishop, but you probably don't know the other old fellow, a unique Blood Demon Prince."

"Because she had a personal vendetta against the Demon King, she collaborated with humans during the Demon King War and helped resolve many problems."

"She even provided the method for landing in the Demon King's Castle, which had been transformed into a giant floating war fortress."

"After the war, the coalition forces, considering her contributions and her lack of interest in drinking human blood, tacitly allowed her to live in the human world."

"But hundreds of years have passed, and not many people still remember her."

Fram was also a little confused when she said this: "But I can't understand why she is colluding with the Chaos Brotherhood."

"Even in the eyes of the demons, those guys are definitely unwelcome."

"But if she helps, using the blood demon's unique racial spells, it can indeed help others easily sneak into the royal capital."

Obviously, Fram's answer made Roland feel what it meant to be in a difficult situation.

He is only a third-ring player, and even with the experience points given by the system, he can only be a fourth-ring player.

But it is now clear that three ninth-level players are involved in this game.

I feel like a top-tier player who accidentally entered the professional finals.

And given the current situation, he can't even surrender.

Just like in Riskan, he has been targeted. Unless he comes up with a more reliable escape plan, it will be difficult for him to escape from the vortex of the royal capital.
