The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Volume 13: Chapter [-], Act [-]

early morning.

In the changing room in front of the bath, Riber looked at himself in the mirror.

It's not that his narcissism has risen to the point where he even wants to admire his own body, but that some corners of his body cannot be seen without the help of a mirror.

Then, turning his head and looking at his back, Riber really found something bad.

The symbol of the Church of Scourge is tattooed on the position of his shoulder blade.

"My God..."

Looking at the perfect cube exuding dark blue, Riber couldn't help hugging his head.

Now, there is really no way to hide it.

In fact, he has long been vaguely aware that he may not be the protagonist in "The Witch Screams", but simply a consumptive villain who kidnapped the heroine and gave the real protagonist a chance to save the beauty.

However, he really didn't want to admit it before.

After all, in this strange and dangerous world, it is really difficult without the talisman of the protagonist's identity.

But the facts are almost blurred, so what's the use of continuing to escape from reality?

So, after standing there for a long time, Riber sighed resignedly.

He sorted it out roughly, and collected the information so far.

First of all, his status as an earl should be no problem.

However, unlike what he had imagined before, the secret organization did not infiltrate the Earl's mansion.Rather, this place may itself be the stronghold of the Church of Scourge.

Secondly, his status in the Church of Scourge may not be too high.

Because when he ordered the maid and the gardener, the other party showed obvious resistance.

In other words, their identities in the organization were probably similar to his.

In the end, he really kidnapped the Holy Maiden of Light who is the heroine.

There is no plot in it, and there is no flag raised, he just did a very pure evil deed.

So, if nothing unexpected happens, the real protagonist will come to collect him soon...

How to do?

Continuing to look at himself in the mirror, Riber only felt that his face was blackened, and a bloody disaster would come soon.

The reason why Riber seems to have an epiphany now is because of the dream of the previous night.

No, it should be said that it was not a dream.

The night before, a plot scene came to Riber's mind without warning.

The entire content of the plot screen is a few disorganized screens.

The screen is divided into several stages.

In the first stage, there is a boy with the upper part of his face in shadow, wearing a suit of shining silver armor, and Meluita, the Holy Maiden of Light.

The two were fighting against the pursuing enemy hand in hand. The boy was protecting Melueita behind him, holding a glowing long sword.

In the second stage, for some unknown reason, the maid who has grown a pair of gray wings gallops in the air.Also fighting those who are after the two protagonists.

The third stage is the burning mansion.

On the second floor of the mansion, in the earl's room, the earl sat on a chair with his back facing the picture, his head hanging, and then the fierce flames engulfed him completely...

After such a picture appeared, a curtain-like thing slowly fell to cover the entire picture, and then a few lines of text appeared in the picture.

"Chapter of the Psalm of the Calamity Witch."

"Act One."

"Camprete karma."

...

...

After a brief wash, Riber returned to the room, and lay down on the bed with a limp body.

When the sky was bright, there was a slightly hasty knock on the door accompanied by footsteps outside the room.

It can be seen from the style of knocking on the door that it was not the maid who called the Earl for dinner today.

But Riber, who really had no appetite, dismissed the butler after saying a few words casually.

After reorganizing his emotions in the silent room, sitting at the desk, Riber began to reorganize the status quo.

Riber was undoubtedly terrified when the first cutscenes arrived.He thought he was sitting in a raging fire.

However, when he woke up, he found that his mansion was not burning.

Therefore, if the "Camprete Fire" incident does happen in the mansion, it means that the direction of the plot has changed.

The reason for the change is probably his time travel.

Among the plot screens, the third stage is actually a bit strange.Because, the earl has never moved in the room surrounded by flames.

But combined with Riber's original trajectory, he should have been hanged at that time. He was already a corpse, so naturally there was no way he would react.

As for why the mansion was set on fire, Riber speculated that it was to attract the attention of members of the Church of Scourge in the mansion.

No matter what the status is, losing the earl of Riber will be a troublesome matter for the Church of Scourge.Therefore, as long as Riber was sitting in the fire, the members of the Church of Scourge had to send their hands to rescue him.

This is also the reason why in the first stage of the screen, there are only three people chasing the protagonist and the saint, even if you count the one who was intercepted by the maid in the air.

And judging from the information provided by Melueita, counting Ribel, there are a total of nine personnel sent by the Church of Scourge.

In terms of results, this fire did help the protagonist group a lot.

It's just that the person who set the fire shouldn't be the saint or the real protagonist.

Because they have no time to prepare and no chance to set fire.

That... Although I don't know the reason for the maid's betrayal.But through the method of elimination, it seems that she is the only one who can set fire to the mansion and has a reason to do so.

If you take a step closer, in order not to let Riber get in the way, you can let him quietly wait for rescue in the flames.

Therefore, the person who hanged him without stopping, was very likely to be the maid...

...

Looking at the notebook on the desk, all the information obtained so far is listed.

Riber felt that he had sorted out most of the ins and outs of the incident.

Although there were elements of guessing, Goldfinger still provided him with enough information.

The most critical question at present is what is the current state of the "Camprete Fire" incident.

Is the time already missed that won't happen?Or is it about to happen?Or in other words, it is in the process of happening.

Judging from the time point, the earl's body in the original plot must not be hidden for a long time.In a day or two, the maid might be able to deliver the earl's words instead, so that the housekeeper won't be suspicious.But if it takes longer, the housekeeper will definitely notice that something is wrong.

Therefore, Riber suspected that the moment he got the plot screen yesterday was exactly the time when the Camprete fire should have happened.

And more importantly, a very important condition in the incident was also triggered, that is, Melueta's escape from prison.

Last night, after waking up, he rushed to the balcony of the room and looked around to see if there was a fire.He didn't see the scene of the fire, but he saw a very presumptuous light shining at the other end of the forest on the northwest side.

The dungeon where Melueita was held was on the northwest side of the mansion, next to the forest.

Therefore, even though the light source was far away, if Melueta had fled for a while at that time, it would not be surprising to appear on the other side of the forest.

That is to say, since Melueita has successfully escaped, the maid lady has no reason to set fire to the mansion to restrain other members of the Scourge Church.

What's more, in a place unknown to Riber, a fierce battle may have taken place the night before.The maid also fled the mansion after betraying the organization.

In other words, all threats and hidden dangers may have been automatically eliminated without Riber doing anything.

Now, apart from worrying that he might be punished by the Church of Scourge for failing to guard the Holy Maiden of Light, he doesn't have to worry about other threats?

...

real or fake...

Things will really go so smoothly?

Volume 14: Chapter [-], With Hope

"you..."

In the afternoon, Riber, who came to the dungeon again, looked at Melueita who was still sitting in the cell with her knees hugged, and was "surprised" speechless for a while.

what's the situation?

Didn't she escape from prison?

At this moment, Riber felt that his mind was full of question marks.

Along the way, he found that the mansion was in a state as if nothing had happened, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Melueita really did not escape from prison.

Doesn't that mean nothing really happened!

But if Melueita hadn't escaped from prison, what was that glare in the northwest forest he saw from the balcony?

Apart from the heroine, Melueita, who else could radiate such an arrogant light?

Did other heroines accidentally come around the mansion?

Such a coincidence?

Holding his forehead and thinking for a long time, Riber felt that he might have misunderstood his golden fingers.

That's right, now that it's been confirmed that he is not the protagonist of "The Witch is Wailing", how can the light that the golden finger can let him see be the light that distinguishes ordinary characters from those that can be attacked?

Suddenly, Riber suddenly realized.

The heroine who is full of presence is a strong light, and although she seems to be appearing in the promotional PV, the maid who is only a supporting role or a secondary role is a weak light.

In other words, the strength of the light he can see depends on the importance of these characters in the original game.

That...

The person who emits the same important light as the heroine, and who has a reason to appear around the mansion at this point in time...

Who else could it be?It's the real protagonist!

Melueita should have met the main character yesterday, was rescued by him, and raised the banner of the capture.

But now, it's all messed up.

"Monsieur Earl!"

In the dark prison cell, Melueta's "super power" activated again.

Noticing Riber's arrival from a distance, she opened the door of the cell and walked out, went to the square table to activate the mechanism, and lit the torch.

"Please, please sit down."

Meluetta stretched her hands towards the chair next to the wooden table and said.

And her series of smooth behaviors made Ribel couldn't help blinking a few more times.

If it weren't for the lack of coordination of the muscles on his face, he would have wrinkled his facial features into a ball, revealing the expression of the subway old man.jpg.

No, what is this imprisoned prisoner doing in front of the kidnappers?

Did you treat him like a visitor to your home or something?

In the brightly lit cell, Ribel looked at Melueta carefully.

He found that, compared to the day before, Melueita became much more energetic.Words and deeds are no longer the forced calm and dignified, but natural and full of vitality.

And there is...

Meluetta's long robe went somewhere, so her whole body was cool.

On Melueita's side, after sitting opposite Riber, she naturally felt his slightly strange gaze.

It's just that she, who considers herself a village girl, doesn't have the reserve of a noble lady, so she just smiled generously at Ribel.
