When did Roland hear the name Seruna? Now he finally remembered it.
That happened when he was still in the City of Fortune. At that time, Roland saw a Templar from Tire who was poisoned by the Fairy Kiss, and the maker of the Fairy Kiss who poisoned him was Seruna.
At that time, the Tree of Passion was about to awaken, and with some rats from the Truth Society jumping back and forth, Roland conveniently placed the blame on the Truth Society.
For example, use the Kiss of the Fairy to kill a Templar from Tire who has sneaked into the City of Fortune, and seduce Tire's Templar army to attack the City of Fortune.
Just like what happened later, an entire knight order was directly wiped out by the half-dead Torment Tree. If it was the Torment Tree in its heyday, it would naturally be able to crush them and get rid of them.
With Tyr's invincible knights as sacrifices, the reputation of the Passion Tree will naturally be publicized. This is exactly what those mice who always want to make big news want to do.
...However, looking back now, Roland's guesses at the time were probably all wrong.
If the Society of Truth really wanted to provoke the Knights of Tire, they would have no need for something as complex and troublesome as the Fairy Kiss. Let’s not mention how expensive the Fairy Kiss could be, no matter what the unlucky Templar was because
No matter what the reason for being killed, as long as he dies in the City of Fortune, Tyr will eventually send knights to attack the City of Fortune.
Although N'zoth, whom the Truth Society believes in, is indeed mentally disabled from time to time, the synchronization rate of this group of mortals is far from that high. There are two ways to accomplish the task, one is expensive and troublesome, and the other is not.
Spending money and being simple - how much money do you have to have to deliberately choose the first option?
But who is the person who is trying to provoke a war between the City of Fortune and Tire - one can even say, trying to use Tire's Templars to cultivate the Tree of Passion?
Let’s compare it with past plots. If Roland didn’t interfere, the Torment Tree would eventually become a terrifying monster and start the plot line of [Wild Disaster].
So, what did you do to make the plot take such a big turn?
When this question just emerged in Roland's mind, he already understood the answer.
To put it simply, there is only one thing Roland does in the City of Fortune.
That's why "Orlando" became famous - he just blew up the entire city of wealth.
Roland clearly remembered that at that time, he blew up the underground sewers in Kalar, blew up the embankment, and used human bombs to blow the undead on Riblade Street into pieces. At that time, the tide of the embankment burst through the gap.
Well out, the tide is full of walking corpses——
...No, wait, where are those walking corpses?
Roland was stunned for a moment.
He clearly remembered that before the Crucifixion Tree was summoned by the Society of Truth, the waist-high water like a flood was still full of walking corpses. If it weren't for the flowing fire lights that he had told people to fall down in advance, it would have been just
Those walking corpses that move freely in the water will cause huge trouble for your group's escape.
But, after that, why did all the walking corpses suddenly disappear?
If he was burned to death by flames... why did Roland's experience tips only include no experience in killing walking zombies?
For a moment, Roland only felt his body getting cold.
Yes... such an obvious flaw, but I was immersed in a massive amount of experience at the time, and I didn't notice the walking corpse that disappeared out of thin air.
In the city of wealth at that time, there was only one person who could do this——
"……professor?"
Roland murmured.
However, Roland noticed that when he said the name, Auletta and Seruna were silent for a brief moment.
Roland immediately realized that he had finally grasped the problem.
"My lovely kin——"
"Well, I know him."
Before Roland finished speaking, Seruna admitted it neatly.
You can still trust what the goblins say. They never bother to lie, which is different from Roland.
However, Roland just shook his head.
"I'm asking about something else. Maybe it's offensive, but I have to confirm."
Roland's expression became serious: "I would like to ask, Seruna, have you ever sold or given away finished Fairy Kisses?"
"Why?"
Seruna was stunned for a moment.
After the petite green-haired girl reacted, her face immediately turned red: "How, how, how is it possible! Shameless! How could you do that kind of thing..."
"I understand, I understand," Roland quickly reassured, "That's why I said this is a bit offensive...but just in case, I have to confirm."
"Definitely not!"
Serena puffed up her face in dissatisfaction: "I haven't been arrested, and I'm not one of those shameless guys. How could I sell my body fluids to others..."
"That's it..."
Roland pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes to Auletta.
"I sold it to the professor. If the professor you are talking about refers to Victor."
Before Roland could ask, the old lich admitted straightforwardly: "He bought it at a premium for information that I have never heard of, and he wanted it urgently and on the spot..."
"Uh-huh? So, am I betrayed by Aura?"
Amidst Serena's small screams, Roland showed an expected expression.
It was all exactly as he thought.
That's right... What if the Templar was poisoned by the professor at the beginning? What's the difference between being killed directly?
In fact, there is no difference in the result. But if you are poisoned by the fairy's kiss, it will always give you the feeling that the person was murdered by someone. Compared with dying in the city of wealth for no reason, this way
The purpose will be stronger. At least it will not give people the feeling that "after all, the City of Fortune is such a dangerous place, maybe it was just accidentally killed." However, because of the expensiveness of the Fairy Kiss, people will not
Considering the possibility of manslaughter or accident, focus instead on the identity and purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes.
This is what the professor has to do.
He wants to muddy the muddy waters of the City of Fortune, but he also wants everyone to focus on the Tree of Passion, the Templars of Tire, and the murderers who use the Fairy Kiss. In this case, no one will
I noticed that the professor was still in this city.
In the plot before the union, the Tillans Dam that exploded inexplicably was probably a bomb installed by the professor when no one was paying attention to him. And his purpose was to destroy it at a special point in time.
The underground water system of Karar was the last straw to collapse the country... and the deeper purpose is still unknown.
Roland noticed that after the professor saw him, his plan changed obviously.
Just like in the past, the Tillans Dam was still blown down.
After meeting Roland and learning his identity as the Death Crow, the professor gave him almost all of the Firelight. The big commotion "Orlando" made in the City of Fortune undoubtedly made the professor completely invisible
Became.
——Then, it is self-evident who was responsible for the sudden disappearance of the group of zombies.
