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

Chapter 35: No reward for correct answer, but punishment for wrong answer

"Now all that's left are experience points and skill points, and that spell transformation card is useless."

"Let's add the experience first."

Roland didn't hesitate much. Compared to future rewards like skill points and spell transformation cards, experience points, which can only increase your experience bar, are the same no matter when you use them.

Moreover, his own practice in the past two days has also increased his experience bar by almost 2,000 points, bringing it to more than 4,000 points. Taking into account the 25,000 unallocated experience points, it is almost enough to push him to the limit of the third ring.

"System, use unallocated experience points."

【Experience points distribution completed.】

[Host: Roland]

[Rank: Third Ring Advanced Magician (9527/10000)]

Roland felt little joy as he felt the magic power filling his body.

What is right in front of him is actually a huge time bomb.

The capital is now in a state where something bad may happen soon, but it is unlikely to happen soon.

Fortunately, after Roland calmed down, he found that he was not completely without clues.

The breaking point was the Riskan incident.

If the imperial army still had the strength to suppress and deal with the disaster that originally occurred at the end of 1029, there would be only one possibility.

At that time, the capital had not yet fallen and the command system had not yet been completely paralyzed.

After all, with such a major event as the fall of the royal capital, it is impossible not to have unrest, and it is impossible that there will not be ambitious people trying to take advantage of this opportunity to realize their ambitions.

If the fall of the royal capital occurred before the Reskan catastrophe, that is, before December 12 of this year, it would be impossible for him to not notice any movement, the military would not be able to block the area around Reskan in time after the catastrophe, and the Supervisory Bureau would not have had time to investigate the truth and issue a warrant for Kalia.

Moreover, blocking almost the entire southern border of the empire and investigating the general truth cannot be accomplished in just a few days.

Even though the Imperial Military and the Supervisory Bureau have always been known for their efficiency and are well-known among the countries on the continent.

But no matter how efficient we are, it would be impossible to complete such a huge workload in one or two months.

Although this wasn't a very useful clue, Roland could at least confirm that he should be able to spend at least a month in peace.

This time it wasn't like the incident in Riskan. Riskan was his hometown, and he couldn't really just let it go without even trying.

But as for the royal capital...it doesn't matter if those Sima nobles die. At worst, I can find an excuse to ask Fram to take me and Kalia to hide in a safe place before anything happens.

The Blackthorn Collar is pretty good.

When the time comes, I will say that I want to visit the tree house. It will not be difficult to convince Kalia using this as an excuse, and it will not be difficult for Kalia to convince Fram either.

After all, Kalia almost caused a huge disaster, but was lifted high and then gently put down by Fram.

It is obviously impossible to refuse a request to go back to my hometown.

Well, it’s decided. We’ll observe the atmosphere in the royal capital and run away immediately if something goes wrong!

Roland breathed a sigh of relief after figuring it out.

Although the system did give him a task, it didn't say that he had to do it.

At worst, I can just pretend that the system doesn't exist, or wait until I grow up before completing the task.

Even an old monster like Fram, who is experienced and has terrifying combat experience, has been defeated. It is better for a weakling like me who will reach the fourth ring in a few days to stay away from him.

The right way is to adapt to your current strength and then develop in a miniature way!
As for the mission... just let it be.

With this thought in mind, Roland straightened his posture and lay down on the bed, ready to take a nap. The dining car wouldn't open until 18 p.m., and it was only a little after 15 p.m., so he could catch up on his nap.

While Roland was catching up on his sleep, in the next room, Kalia was chatting with Fram, who was worried.

"Teacher, you seem to be in a bad mood. Is something wrong?"

Fram, who was sitting on the bed with her arms around her knees, looked at Kalia, who was chewing candied fruit with one hand and reading a novel with the other hand, and was a little speechless: "You were obviously reading with your head down, and you didn't even look at me."

"Oh, you're not going to be in a bad mood because of this, are you? Look, now I'm looking at you!"

As she spoke, Kalia turned her head and smiled at Fram.

Fram: “…”

Seeing that it didn't seem to have any effect, Kalia started to worry: "Could something really happen?"

"No." Fram pouted and retorted. "But normally, when we're alone like this, you would definitely take the initiative to talk to me!"

"Not only did you ignore me, but even when I took the initiative to talk to you, you reacted so coldly. There's definitely something wrong!"

Kalia's words made Fram feel a little annoyed.

But when she saw Kalia's sincere eyes and genuine concern, Fram's irritability disappeared.

"After all, you don't know what's going on in the capital, Leah. If you knew, you'd be in a bad mood too."

Fram muttered, then hugged her legs and fell sideways on the bed like a doll.

"So what's going on in the capital?"

Kalia didn't even eat the candied fruit, and waited seriously for Fram to continue talking about the melon in the royal capital.

Eating melons is human nature, even for witches who are not typical humans.

"Well...never mind. It's probably okay to tell you. I can't hide this news any more."

"The Emperor of the Empire, Salah III, is about to die."

"Oh." Kalia felt disappointed, snorted, and went back to reading.

Obviously, for a witch who had almost no contact with society before, Kalia could not understand how big a deal it was that the old emperor was about to die.

"Such a calm reaction... Well, it's Leah after all. She's just an idiot after all."

Fram was very angry and rolled back and forth on the bed with her legs hugged.

"Huh? Why am I an idiot again? No, I'm not an idiot!"

"Yeah, you're not."

"Ahhhh, damn old woman, I..."

Before Kalia could finish her curse, Fram sealed her mouth with a spell and she couldn't even utter a word.

"A fool is a fool. You even dared to call me that taboo word to my face, which shows that you are indeed not very smart."

"Ah...you haven't been calling me that in secret these days, have you?"

Fram's eyes suddenly became sharp as she stared at Kalia, who was already sweating and trembling.

"Alas!"

"Ah... you've confessed yourself..."

Looking at the panicked Kalia, Fram already had the answer in her mind.

But she has always been particular about evidence and never imposes punishment without evidence.

"You've been with that kid named Roland these days, right?"

"I'll ask him about these things."

"He's a smart man who knows when to tell the truth."

"I'll carry out the real punishment after I get the witness."

"Ah, as punishment as well..."

As Fram spoke, he conjured a rope and tied Kalia to the chair she was sitting on.

"You are not allowed to eat tonight."

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Kalia suddenly twisted her body wildly, her despair far exceeding that of Fram who discovered that she had secretly spoken taboo words.

It can be seen that Fram still knows Kalia very well.

Rather than beating someone, starving them for a meal is a more effective punishment.

She felt it necessary to teach Kalia a lesson that such damn taboo words should not be spoken casually.

Absolutely not!
