Just thinking that this undead priest was the priest of Cranwo, and it was possible to know some information about the Sleeping Teacher, Roland ignored something more important.

That's right, he should have noticed it when Roland found out that the stranger was an undead.

You know, before she became a dead crow, Falina was just an ordinary druid.

Even if her surname is Green Vine and she is good at making all kinds of poisons, if she wants to make an undead completely die, she will never be able to do it at her level.

Failing this, no one can extinguish the mouth of an undead. Even Roland was just inactivating the body of the undead.

By the time the young undead came back to life, Roland had long since left the place. Even if he reacted and told Falina that there was a druid pretending to be the Blighter, it would be useless. After all, Falina was originally a druid on the run, and she only came to power after killing the original guardian of this town, and it was absolutely impossible to report Roland's information - that would be tantamount to throwing herself into the net.

Roland can't do it as a white mistletoe, how can a green vine druid who is good at poisoning poison poison an undead? The poison resistance of the undead is already very high, except for the poison of the fairy blood, which is made from materials above the silver race, all common poisons are ineffective.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Falina to poison an undead.

In other words, there is no record of the real situation in Farina's diary.

The diary itself is for herself, and she can't think that she will die in the first place, and deliberately wrote down the wrong situation in the diary.

The only possibility of such a deliberate mistake is that Falina knew that someone would read her diary and didn't know when. In order to mislead that person, Falina misremembered many key accidents in her diary.

And the misleading information of the Death Crow Inheritance and the Outlander must have its existential significance, otherwise there is no reason why Falina would deliberately conceal such an irreproducible event. If her account is true, then she has also been inherited, and that person is dead, and she can write it down directly and generously.

So there's only one answer - it's not the Outland Priest who gets the Raven Legacy from the outsider, it's someone associated with the Overwatch. And the existence of the person she killed has great significance, and whether she lives or dies will greatly affect Farina's interests and even safety, so she will deliberately conceal the fact that she was killed by herself.

On the other hand, what is not recorded in Farina's diary is the most important thing.

Roland felt a hidden truth getting closer and closer to him.

Referring to what Roland saw in the game, and what happened before and after Falina received the Death Raven Inheritance, the answer is obvious.

In Farina's diary, less than two days before she received the Death Raven Inheritance, she wrote: "The old liar under the bell tower said that I was going to have bad luck lately, and it was bad luck. It's annoying to see him every day. ”

But a day or so back in that day, old John was gone.

Around the same time as John Sr. disappeared, Falina received important information about the crow's transfer.

After that, there was no mention of Old John in her diary. Before that day, old John had been annoying almost every day, but after his disappearance, Falina never mentioned him again. There is not even a record of "I don't know if I'm dead".

There's only one answer to that. It was she who already knew that old John was dead. If you already know what you know, you will no longer have doubts.

Add to that the astrometer that Old John, who was completely out of touch with his identity and that had been damaged when the player found his body, and the testimony that "I didn't touch anything but the money on him", and the contradiction is obvious.

Thinking of this, Roland turned around and went downstairs without hesitation, casually said "dispose of the corpse" and immediately ran to the gutter at the west gate.

Maybe it's too late to go.

"A ...... long overdue"

Roland muttered.

A set of regular astrological measuring instruments in the White Pagoda will cost 800 gold coins to say the least. That's already a year's worth of taxes for a small nobleman. You can even buy two war horses of good breeds.

And the wreckage of the measuring instrument, which was almost completely destroyed, sold for dozens of gold coins. That level of stuff shouldn't have appeared in the hands of someone like Old John at all. Even in the most expensive White Tower, this thing can be exchanged for a sea view villa. In smaller principalities, it is enough to buy a viscount for life.

If Roland had guessed correctly, it was highly likely that John Sr. was in the trial of poverty.

It is a secret inheritance of the origin of the gold-level White Tower wizard, and there is a good chance that he will initially feel his origin after completing the trial.

To put it simply, it is to give up all of your spell-casting abilities for a period of time, and then give up all your items and money to live for a year in a place that really threatens your life every day. In this way, the wizard can return to the White Tower and perform another ritual to directly invoke his origin.

This method of awakening to the origin is simple, straightforward, and effective. But because of the obvious danger it possesses, the group of White Tower wizards who value their lives as higher than others will definitely not choose this path unless they are inevitable.

John Sr. is probably getting old to the limit. If you can't awaken the origin, you won't live for more than two years, and in order to continue your research, you will accept such a harsh trial.

And the reason why he was able to bring that measuring instrument was probably because that measuring instrument was not a "prop" at all, it was hollow inside! Old John judged that the weather should really be calculated by astrology.

He wisely chose to test his poverty in a small town on the border of Carral. That way, he wouldn't be able to run into a few wilters who had purged wizards, and he wouldn't be killed for accidentally offending someone powerful.

Old John had a good chance of surviving the trials of poverty, but unfortunately, in the third month, he was killed by Farina.

Perhaps it was from the fact that someone was spying on her that Falina realized the strangeness of "Old John"; Perhaps it was simply to get her hands on Old John's measuring instrument - so she killed Old John and took his inheritance with him by the way.

Even the way to kill him was probably not poisoned by the beep that Falina recorded in her diary - she had already hated Old John to the extreme, and she had no place to know that Old John was a gold-level wizard with limited abilities, so naturally she would not choose to kill Old John in this way.

If nothing else, there is likely to be something hidden in that measuring instrument that Roland wants.

If it passes now, it may still be too late.

Thinking like this, Roland unabashedly stretched the vines out from under his robe, pushing them on the ground to move forward quickly.

No one on the road dared to hinder Roland's progress.

A black-robed man hurriedly passed by, and every passer-by who found him quickly retreated to the far side of the road in horror, in case he was killed by the Blighted One, who seemed to be in a hurry, because he was in the way.

Coming down from the third floor, Roland arrived at the west gate of Ram Town in less than a minute and a half, and found the gutter.

Seeing that there was no broken measuring instrument in the gutter in the video that Roland saw, Roland immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There is hope.

Roland didn't say a word, and he wasn't afraid of getting dirty, and directly manipulated the vines that shared his senses with him to burrow into the sewage of the gutter, and scooped up the corpse of Old John.

That's not hard to find.

The passer-by, who was instructed by or guided by her to kill Old John, had probably never killed anyone before, and he couldn't even dig up the mud to bury the body shallowly, so he threw the body into the sewage in a panic.

Even if it's winter, a week is enough time for a corpse soaked in dirty water to decompose. At that point, the smell of the gutter will inevitably draw the guards. The educated Caral Guards were even more versatile than some of their armies. A simple autopsy with the help of magic would be an easy task to find out who had been here a week ago.

So, the reason why Roland didn't really know who killed Old John until he came to this world was because Falina had killed the middle-aged man, or the entire guard team had been completely controlled by her.

Roland commanded the vines to take out the measuring instrument from Old John's arms. As for the rest of the things, I basically didn't touch them.

"As expected."

Roland said in a low voice.

I saw a boxy, palm-sized small black box that wasn't even wet. Not to mention being damaged by dirty blisters.

Roland had seen people in the guild use this kind of thing before. If I'm not mistaken......

Reaching out and lifting the black box, he tossed it upside down, found the three heavier corners, and then reached out and knocked lightly three times.

“Saor－sorrso。 (Command: Open the Secret Layer)"

As Roland's command fell, the small black box began to buzz and vibrate, floating in the air out of thin air.

An old voice came from it: "Gageter? (Password?) ）”

…… Password? What is that?

Roland raised an eyebrow.

But he had no worries in his mind. Since the woman Farina could open it, there was no reason why he, as an Ash Disciple, couldn't open it.

Thinking so, Roland ignored the small black box suspended for the time being, and instead drew his Karaal sword, completely slicing open Old John's chest and abdomen, and then turned his body sideways with vines.

When the blackened blood had just flowed out and the internal organs had not yet flowed out, a faint green light flashed in Roland's eyes.

- Visceral divination, open!

The last image in Roland's eyes was that old John's intestines had just begun to leak out. In the moment after that, a projection of consciousness from a higher level covered his five senses, and the feeling of divine revelation appeared in front of his eyes.

Quickly, Old John's life passed by him quickly, and the picture was dim and bleak.

Roland pursed his lips tightly, his eyes fixed on any image that crossed in front of him.

Entrance to the White Tower......

Advanced Silver ......

Discover the Tal. John's theorem......

Advanced Gold ......

Dispute......

The Trial of Poverty......

"This is it!" Roland's eyes instantly sharpened.

It was as if the picture had been dissected along with Old John's corpse, and after Roland wanted to see it more clearly, the speed of the picture flow was dozens of times slower out of thin air.

This was after John Sr. decided to start the trial of poverty.

Later, Roland saw that Old John had an argument with someone, and then went into his laboratory and pulled out the pitch-black box!

Roland's heart moved, and the flow of the whole picture became the same as that of the normal world.

Old John, dressed in a dark purple robe embroidered with intricate patterns, unfolded his astrological monitor with a serious face, and then without hesitation, he emptied it and stuffed it into a piece of paper.

“Orfe－Gageter。 (Set Password)"

After doing all this, he was obviously relieved and said in a deep voice.

“Gageter？ (Password?) ）”

Old John pondered for a moment, and then read in a light and cheerful language: "Dusk is coming, and the weary bird leaves its nest, never to return—"

This is where the picture comes to an abrupt end.

Roland's eyes flickered, and then he saw that Old John's body seemed to have just been kicked by someone and rolled back into the gutter. Because the rhythm of the outflow of his internal organs was disrupted, and he left Roland's field of vision, this revelation from Gaia's father ended there.

Later, Roland found a guard in full body armor standing in front of him, the sword at his waist resting around his neck. Behind him, twelve or thirteen heavily armed guards watched Roland in staring at him.

Roland didn't pay attention to them, but recalled the picture he had seen before.

Roland has never doubted the authenticity of the picture. Whoever is born from the earth will not hide it from the father of Gaia in his life. Even though Gaia's father was now contaminated by the Twilight Seed into a Higgs with a snake in his eyes, he never lost this ability.

What made Roland more concerned was why Old John ended up using the language of the Winter Elves instead of the White Tower language, which is common among the wizards of the White Tower?

Baita is a form of advanced encryption derived from the language of the devil. Talking and writing in this language is such that neither the pastor nor their god can hear or see this language.

If John Sr. is only trying to hide something, there is no doubt that encrypting in the White Tower language is the best option.

As for the last sentence he pronounced but didn't finish, Roland also knew what its source was.

Dusk is approaching, and the tired bird leaves the nest and never returns.

This is a verse from the Winter Elves' long poem "The Raven of Ilamat".

The long poem is a spiritual poem written by the wise men of the Winter Elves that conceals prophecies and life teachings, and it also reveals the location of three ancient treasures.

Roland even remembered what the next sentence would be—

"Are you listening to me?"

Suddenly, Roland heard the guards in front of him suddenly reprimand.

Roland didn't even bother to respond, just raised his head and looked at him coldly, and the guard took a slight step back in fear, and the long sword in his hand also lowered down.

But then, as if embarrassed, the man immediately took two steps forward, and the long sword was put up again, even closer to Roland's neck.

Roland could even feel his hands trembling.

"I'm Ram's City Guard Captain! We suspect that you have committed many murders posing as the Blighted - and we will now hand you over to Lord Falina for arraignment. ”

The captain of the city guard swallowed and said in a fierce voice.

Farina?

Sure enough, it was her.

Roland sneered.

"Well, I'll go with you," he said, "but hold your sword firm." You're shaking around like this, and I suspect you have the intention of assassinating me. ”

"--If you can't kill me with a sword, just wait for the people of this town to bury you."

It was like a voice coming from the land of the dead, faintly ringing in the ears of the captain of the guard.

So, the man trembled violently, then hesitated unwillingly, fearfully, and cringe, and finally put down the sword in his hand.
