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

Chapter 54 Death is not the end
"The trouble is finally over."

"At least Ms. Fram is okay now. Things will be much easier from now on."

After saying goodbye to Iluvia, Roland went straight back to the dormitory and collapsed on the big sofa on the first floor, breathing a sigh of relief.

All in all, things went smoothly.

The cause of Fram's death was not as complicated as he thought, nor did it involve many things.

He was stabbed by his own stupid student, and then killed instantly by the backup plan left by another old guy.

The magician's fragile nature is fully revealed.

All in all, Fram's death was not as complicated as imagined.

Although the other party was obviously also involved in the vortex of the royal capital.

And considering some of the information revealed by the other party, it is obvious that the old Emperor Salah III, who was once her student, gave her something.

It is not an ordinary thing, it is probably an important item related to the country's destiny.

Although there probably isn't such a thing as an imperial seal in the Hearst Empire.

But the Hearst Empire was able to establish itself at the end of the Demon King War, gain a foothold in the war that stretched across the entire continent, and gradually expand its territory. It couldn't have been without some hidden talents.

Apart from anything else, the capital of the empire has been besieged by the Demon King's army at least three times, but each time it escaped danger.

The last and most dangerous time was when the brave team jumped onto the Demon King's castle to behead him.

At that time, the human coalition forces were already losing ground, the northern federations had already fallen, and even though the many small countries in the southern continent were united, they were quickly defeated under the offensive of the Demon King's army.

The last remaining area controlled by the human side soon became only the territory of the Hearst Empire.

However, the Demon King’s army was difficult to stop. Even if the Empire gathered all the remaining forces from the major kingdoms, principalities and even large city-states, it still could not stop the offensive of the Demon King’s army.

The two forces, the Holy See and the Continental History Society, were also held back by the other two demon armies, making it difficult to send additional support.

Soon, most of the empire fell, and the capital was besieged by the Demon King's army for the third time.

At that time, the emperor known as the Knight King, holding the holy sword Durandal, led the last elite force that humans could muster, and personally led the team to launch the final breakout operation when the city was besieged.

He led the empire's last 10,000 elite guards, the Iron Duke known as the Wall of the Empire, and a group of brave men, and together they broke through the Demon King's army's defenses.

In the end, in order to buy time for the traitorous Blood Demon Prince to land in the Demon King's City, the Knight King and the two lords of the Demon King's Court died together.

After the Knight King died in battle, the Iron Duke picked up the holy sword left behind by the Knight King, and together with the reinforcements from the Holy See and the Continental Society of Reliable History, they held out until the brave man's beheading operation was successful.

With the fall of the Demon King's Castle and the death of the Demon King, the war that lasted for a thousand years finally came to an end with the end of the siege of the Royal Capital.

This is a story that almost every citizen of the Hearst Empire has heard since childhood.

That legend about the Imperial Knight King.

Of course, although it is a legend, considering that the people involved are still alive, they would not make up the story casually.

Otherwise it would be so embarrassing to be exposed by an elf.

Roland himself tends to believe that the story is at least 80% true.

However, at the end of the story, it was not revealed what happened to the holy sword.

It has not appeared since the end of the Demon King War.

But if the holy sword really exists, it is most likely still kept by the royal family.

"The old emperor wouldn't give the holy sword to Fram, would he?"

"What on earth does Fram have in his hand that would make him want to get it even at the cost of offending a legend?"

The collaboration between the two Ninth Ranks, the plot against Kalia, and the still-unclear identity of the individuals colluding with the Chaos Brotherhood within the capital...

If I hadn't interfered, the other party's plan would have gone smoothly.

The catastrophe in Riskan will draw away most of the military's power. Kalia will be identified as one of the culprits and taken back to the capital for custody. Fram will die from Kalia's backstab and the plot of the Blood Demon Prince. With the military's power weakened, Ilvia's situation will not improve either.

Although on the surface, Kalia was the one who was plotted against.

Not only did he bring about disaster, but he also killed his mentor.

But in fact, the other party's target seemed to be only Fram and Iluvia from the beginning to the end.

Kalia was just being used as a pawn by the other party.

What on earth could convince two ninth-level masters to cooperate?

The most important thing is, what exactly can convince the Blood Demon Prince?
Even if it really was the holy sword, Roland didn't think she would be interested.

According to Fram, the other party is just a cowardly stay-at-home girl.

Although he has strong combat capabilities, he is essentially a day-to-day person.

The other party really wouldn't be interested in something like the Holy Sword, which is used for fighting and killing.

It can't be power, right?
Just as Roland was thinking rapidly and reviewing what had happened, the system released the second stage task.

[Series of quests - Eternal Silence, Fallen Capital, the second phase of the quest begins.]

[Phase 2 Mission: Find the true culprit who caused the fall of the capital. He is still hiding within the capital, using the characteristics of the Eternal Silence capital to avoid being hunted by the Witch of Decay, Iluvia.]

【Mission objective: Kill the real murderer.】

[Friendly reminder: It is detected that the host has a close relationship with the Witch of Decay Iluvia, and can invite her to join the action. ]

Seeing the second-stage mission, Roland suddenly laughed out loud.

Yes, how could he forget the theme of this series of tasks.

Yongji fell in the royal capital - the fall of the royal capital was the key.

But isn’t the requirement of this task a bit high?
In the past, you asked me to solve a case, find someone, and reconstruct the course of events.

Now you want me to go and kill monsters?

The real culprit who caused the fall of the royal capital must be at least at level eight, right?

Let me kill him? Really?
The reason I was able to encounter bugs in so many things in the past was because I created a time difference. Many things and enemies are not a big problem in this time period.

A classic example is rats in sewers.

They have not yet been infected with the true divine plague, so it is not difficult to deal with them.

But now... Roland felt that the success rate of killing the real murderer by himself might not be very high.

But the good news is that the mission doesn't require me to kill the target with my own hands.

This leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

Moreover, what Roland cared about more was the task information given by the system and the friendly reminder.

Avoid being hunted by the decaying witch Iluvia...

It seems that even in the normal world line, Iluvia is alive and well.

Moreover, judging from the system's brief description, the opponent's combat power may not be underestimated.

But thinking back to the fate of the assassin who was trapped by my own trap and then died at the hands of Iluvia...

Roland felt that the system's evaluation might not be an exaggeration.

After all, for those who died at the hands of Iluvia, death was not the end.
