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

Chapter 6: The Magician Never Runs Away

Five minutes before the battle broke out.

Kalia, who was hiding in a tree and not daring to make a sound, was looking nervously at the two people who were squatting and whispering in a pit in the ruins of the wooden house.

She didn't know where Roland had gone, nor did she know what secret code this guy had left for her.

But she decided to be obedient and not hide in her shadow.

What if this guy is in danger? It is too absurd for a second-ring magician to deal with two fourth-ring magicians.

Why didn't I stop him at that time?
Wait, is this guy just going to leave me here and run away?
Thinking of this very likely situation, Kalia silently clenched her fists, but soon she smiled with relief.

"Well, that guy is smart to be able to run away on his own."

"After all, if he hadn't met me, if he hadn't run here, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble."

"But... the soup this guy made is quite delicious. I wonder if I can drink it again in the future."

"I probably won't be able to drink it. After all, I don't even know this guy's name."

Although we didn't spend much time together, it probably only added up to a little over an hour.

But Kalia still didn't want to see him get into trouble, nor did she want him to get involved in trouble that had nothing to do with him because of her.

Now that Roland was suspected of running away, she felt relieved.

Not to mention that he gave himself an invisibility cloak before running away.

Since the two men below didn't notice where she was hiding, she was convinced of Roland's words.

With some simple concealment techniques, they would not be able to track him or the pendant on him.

The reason why Kalia didn't think of this was mainly because she really didn't know any concealing spells.

Especially since this spell is different from her innate spell, the amount of magic power required is completely on a different level.

If the innate spell is an extension of one's body, then one only needs to consume two loaves of bread to travel 100 kilometers.

The only other spell to cast besides the innate spell is to wave a wooden stick with your hand.

Maybe it could work for a short time, but for a killer who already knew her appearance, the safest measure was for her to stay in the shadows and keep moving.

Then he lived on insects and grass, and occasionally stole some normal food when passing by villagers' homes.

When Kalia thought about how she had been going on like this for half a month, she suddenly felt like crying.

She missed the pot of fish soup.

Damn man in black, can’t you wait until I finish the last bit of soup with bread before coming back?
Her heart bleeds when she thinks that the delicious fish soup has been buried with the rain and the ruins of the wooden house.

Kalia muttered to herself, and at the same time began to think about how to get out.

But before she could react, several explosions were heard, almost scaring her to fall from the tree. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and stabilized her body to avoid the risk of exposure.

When she steadied herself and looked towards the smoke from the explosion that had not yet dissipated, she saw Roland beheading Orion with his sword and destroying his body with a fireball.

He didn't run away!

wrong!

Those two fourth-ring magicians who had been chasing him all the way were killed so easily?
What was that explosion just now?
Doubts flooded Kalia's mind, and her eyes uncontrollably looked at the figure who had just taken off his hood.

He was sheathing the long sword in his hand, and at the same time, he put the two daggers into the scabbards on his belt.

In Kalia's eyes, Roland was more like a seasoned hunter or assassin than a magician.

Because Kalia was absent, she basically didn't see the battle process.

Or rather, she didn't have time to see the battle.

After the mine exploded, Roland took less than half a minute to eliminate the two enemies.

By the time Kalia had settled herself on the tree, ready to watch the fight, Roland was already preparing to destroy the body. Hey, what was he doing?
Kalia suddenly noticed that Roland was giving a thumbs-up sign in her direction.

What is this doing?
The posture for casting a spell?
Or is it a code to call for reinforcements?
Wait, a code?
At this moment, Kalia suddenly understood the meaning of the thumbs-up Roland gave her when he left.

"Why do you use this as a code?!"

Kalia complained softly before activating her innate spell and slipping into the shadows.

……

After throwing fireballs to destroy the bodies and ensuring that the two were completely dead, Roland began to count the items on their bodies.

Surprisingly, the two of them had surprisingly little stuff on them.

In other words, there was almost nothing, only two palm-sized portable communication devices.

"Huh? This is..."

Roland shook the half-damaged communication device in his hand and found a small secret compartment at the bottom.

Open the secret compartment and you will find a rolled-up miniature map inside.

Roland recognized it at a glance as the layout map of the city of Riskan, with several red dots on it.

"We're lucky. The damage to the device isn't too serious. It can be repaired and still be used."

Roland put the device into his pocket and took out the map and hid it.

Then he removed the invisibility of his cloak, stretched out his hand towards a big tree in the distance and gave a thumbs up.

"Well, why is there no movement?"

Roland looked at the hiding place he had pointed out to Kalia, but there was no response there.

After a while, a shadow appeared at Roland's feet, and then Kalia emerged from the shadow.

After taking off her hood and smoothing her hair that was messed up by the hood, Kalia took out her staff again, controlled the shadow to gather into a tentacle, and touched the two piles of ashes on the ground.

Only after confirming that the two killers who had chased her from Blackthorn Territory to Riskan were indeed dead did Kalia finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she also felt a little admiration for the magician next to her who only had two rings.

Kalia raised her head slightly and looked at Roland's profile: "How did you do that? And what was that explosion just now?"

"It's just a mine. If they had been more careful with their steps, I would have asked you to take me away."

"Of course, this is also indispensable."

As he spoke, Roland pulled out the magic-forbidden stone knife from his waist, grasped the tip of the knife and handed it over.

Kalia didn't take it. She recognized it the moment she saw it. She was no longer surprised at how Roland could handle those two fourth-ring magicians.

She looked up at Roland: "What should we do next?"

"Easy, give me the pendant."

Roland took off his cloak and asked Kalia for the silver pendant. This was the first time he had seen the pendant up close.

After a brief inspection, Roland wrapped the pendant in his cloak and spoke to Kalia.

"Okay, the crisis is temporarily resolved."

"Next, we'll go into the city and rest for the night. We'll think about other things when we wake up tomorrow."

"Don't take off your cloak yet, then hide in the shadows and follow me into the city."

Just as Roland was about to leave, Kalia called out to him, "Wait! I don't even know your name!"

"Just call me Roland. Let's go quickly, or else something bad will happen."
