Roswaal's Desire

Finally, following Roswaal's decision, Fang Li was granted the right to continue residing at the Roswaal Mansion as a VIP until the Witch Cult incident was resolved.

During this period, all of Fang Li's clothing, food, lodging, and transportation will be reimbursed by the Roswaal Mansion, as a way of repaying the debt of Emilia.

In addition, since Fang Li's nature is equivalent to protecting Emilia closely, Roswaal also prepared a separate gift as a token of his gratitude.

It was called a thank-you gift, but it was really just a right, a mere shell.

The former is Roswaal's own permission.

"From today onwards, you may freely borrow books from the Forbidden Library, of course, with Beatrice's consent."

This is something that any magician would dream of.

The vast collection of magical books in the Forbidden Library of the Roswaal Mansion is undoubtedly the pursuit of any magician.

Fang Li, however, was granted permission to come and go freely.

Of course, as Roswaal said, this is contingent on Fang Li obtaining Beatrice's consent.

"Beatrice is an elf who has a direct contract with the Forbidden Library. She has been guarding the Forbidden Library for four hundred years and has management rights. Even I cannot take any book out of the Forbidden Library without Beatrice's permission."

In other words, Fang Li only received a nominal permission; whether he could actually take the magic book from the Forbidden Library depended on Beatrice's willingness.

Fang Li didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, Fang Li isn't a magician. Even if he could borrow books from the Forbidden Library, at most he would only learn more about magic and satisfy his curiosity.

In this way, for Fang Li, this permission, which other magicians would risk everything for, was now considered dispensable.

As for the skin, it was filled with gold coins.

Moreover, it's Saint Gold Coin.

"There are a thousand Saint Gold Coin inside, consider it a reward. If you run out, just let Rem and Ram know, and we'll replenish them for you anytime."

Don't think this is useless.

At least, Fang Li doesn't think so.

Just like in the world of "Aria of the Scarlet Ammo," where Fang Li accumulated wealth by completing numerous commissions and eventually exchanged it for a batch of valuable and highly practical Buzhen Bullet, this world also has a variety of magical items.

You need money to buy these magical items.

Therefore, the rewards Roswaal offered, though vulgar, were not mere perfunctory gestures.

Therefore, Fang Li accepted it without any hesitation, saving himself the need to Exchange Points for money.

And so, Fang Li moved into the Roswaal Mansion.

Perhaps influenced by Roswaal's words, Emilia seemed to feel somewhat guilty.

Therefore, when Roswaal was about to have Rem or Ram take Fang Li to visit the mansion, Emilia immediately volunteered.

"Since there's still time before the study session, let me show Fang Li."

As someone with a right to the throne, Emilia certainly has much to learn.

Therefore, when Emilia was in the mansion, apart from practicing Spirit Arts and communicating with her Contract Spirit, she spent the rest of her time studying and rarely had time for entertainment.

Now, Emilia volunteered to show Fang Li the way, which was a way for her to relax.

Unaware of what Fang Li happened, Emilia, preoccupied with how to make it up to Fang Li, left the restaurant with a chuckling Fang Li after their meal.

Only Roswaal and the twin maid sisters remained.

"Lord Roswaal," Ram finally spoke.

Moreover, these were the very words he uttered as soon as he opened his mouth.

Is that person trustworthy?

Upon hearing this, Roswaal picked up a napkin, wiping his mouth with an elegant gesture, and said in a flippant manner, "At least we shouldn't worry about him being a spy sent from somewhere; that kind of person can't be bribed."

Ram agreed with this point.

Although I had some doubts before, Fang Li's behavior today was decisive and swift. He ruthlessly rejected the olive branch offered by Roswaal, but readily accepted the resource assistance, as if he didn't want to give others an excuse to continue getting close. It was clear that he was using this method to avoid getting involved with any forces.

Such a person would never risk his life for someone else, going so far as to infiltrate Roswaal Mansion.

"However, his target is the Witch Cult." Ram's voice lowered slightly as he said, "We don't know why he would target the Witch Cult."

Furthermore, given Fang Li's mysterious identity, even if he isn't a spy, he is still highly suspicious.

"To be honest," Ram said, "I can't trust him."

Roswaal couldn't help but smile at the unwavering words.

"I'm also very curious about him." Roswaal looked in the direction Fang Li, and said, "He's hiding a lot of secrets. Don't you think that's very intriguing?"

"Then..." Ram hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Does Lord Roswaal really want to recruit him?"

"If possible," Roswaal said without hesitation.

"The Gospel show that this person is capable of killing everything."

"So, I want him."

Roswaal was expressing extreme longing in those words.

Ram fell silent.

—The Gospel.

It was an incredibly magical book.

In this world, there exists a book called the Memory of the World, Book of Wisdom that records the past, present, and future of this world.

Legend has it that whoever obtains that book will gain access to all knowledge in the world and be able to glimpse the world's memories.

The Gospel are inferior imitations of the Book of Wisdom.

It also records the past, present, and future of this world.

However, the content above is very limited.

Therefore, thanks to the hints from the Gospel, Roswaal gained some information about the Fang Li.

In view of this, Roswaal knew.

Recently, someone "The One Who Can Kill All" will be visiting this mansion because of Emilia.

This made Roswaal extremely eager to acquire this talent.

"Capable of killing everything..."

Roswaal chuckled softly.

The laughter was no longer comical and frivolous, but filled with an eerie quality.

"It would be a real shame not to recruit such a talent. If you have time, try to get to know him better and see if there's any chance to bring him into our camp."

"...Yes." Ram was silent for a while, then nodded expressionlessly.

Only Rem, lost in thought, kept staring in the direction Fang Li had left, remaining silent for a long time.
