Volume 1 Chapter 422
by post_apiChapter 422: Hamburger, Hot Dog, Sandwich
While Lolth and her group studied the entrance of the white palace, outside the half-plane ruins, on Wild Boar Mountain.
The Autonomous Guard active in the main plane lasts much longer than Hood’s giant form.
Three legendary Autonomous Guards faced the cultists and Monster Handlers still fighting among themselves in the main plane, battling against mercenaries who were running in all directions, making the fight one-sided.
After all, the closest thing to Hood’s giant form here was the giant snake that Lolth wounded with a single punch.
With the loss of their only target to draw fire and the ongoing chaos of internal conflict, the situation on Wild Boar Mountain spiraled out of control.
And in such a chaotic situation…
On the ridge of Wild Boar Mountain, in the heart of the battle, a wave of space rippled through the air.
A "gateway" with obvious features of an ancient civilization opened.
Since this was near the stable entrance of the ancient ruins half-plane, mercenaries, cultists, and Monster Handlers all cautiously moved aside.
Who knows if a guard will jump out from inside here?
Even the monsters temporarily avoided this place due to their instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm.
Although the fighting among each other still continued, everyone tacitly left this area empty and remained alert to any strange changes that might happen here.
However, this space door did not bring out a bunch of new enemies as expected.
Instead, the voices of several girls talking could be heard from inside.
"Lady Kanor, are you sure this is okay…? Does Lord Lolth really need you to do this?"
"Trust me, Lady Doyle, even though my strength is not that great, I can help Master Lolth in many ways."
"That’s right, Martial Sister Kanor is very strong… and don’t worry, Lady Doyle, even if Teacher Lolth holds us responsible, we won’t betray you."
"I’m right here, Little Devil… in South Sotua, I will protect them well!"
"And you are carrying so many things, what is there to worry about? These items could wipe out a whole team."
"Alright, alright… Anyway, I will keep it a secret from everyone else, but if something goes wrong, you must remember to send a signal!"
"No problem, Lady Doyle!"
The conversation ended.
Then, from that empty door in space, three figures stepped out.
The mercenaries present stared in shock at the three figures that emerged.
They were three people dressed in strange outfits that they had never seen before.
All three "people" were wrapped in clothing similar to a moving fortress, but the material was not hard leather or metal like armor.
Instead, it was very soft, filled with air on the inside.
The only metal seemed to exist as a skeleton.
Most of the colors were light brown and white, wrapped around large patches of dark colors, red, and green.
Besides that, the shapes were also very irregular.
There was a short and stocky irregular shape with a nearly cylindrical curved top, a long irregular shape, and a somewhat more regular triangular prism.
Although these garments were strange, they seemed to have a hidden aura.
The three people not only covered their faces but also made it impossible to know the level of the extraordinary energy they possessed and which species their souls and magic belonged to.
Everything was covered!
Not only the mercenaries and Monster Handlers, even the monsters and cultists were amazed by the appearance of these three individuals.
It was precisely because of this peculiarity…
No one dares to act recklessly!
If Lolth were here, she would immediately recognize what was happening and call out the names of these three people and their costumes.
The strange trio appearing on Wild Boar Mountain, a new force, comes from Hillenbrand Town.
And, they are very familiar to her.
Kanor, Dorothy, and… Ann.
They are dressed as a hot dog, a hamburger, and a sandwich.
This is Kanor’s strategy.
No matter how much the two girls disguise themselves, they look very suspicious; no clever disguise can change the fact that she is only eight years old.
So, Kanor simply chose not to disguise herself.
Their goal is to see Lolth, not to sneak in and take something.
Since that is the case, they might as well be bold from the beginning; this way, Master Lolth can easily notice them!
The best plan is to make others aware of their presence but not see through their identity.
After considering this, Kanor made a very simple decision.
That is to wear outrageous costumes!
Just right, Dorothy’s wild ideas provided material for the three of them.
Of course, as for why they chose Ann…
It is simply because this girl fits Kanor’s "requirements."
In Hillenbrand Town, Kanor could only think of two people who are currently free, not a threat to Sister Dorothy, and have some combat ability.
Ann and Kululu.
However, considering that Her Highness Kululu does not seem very willing to move, and Kanor always feels that although Kululu does not show much, she is exceptionally strong, after careful thought, they chose to ask Ann for help.
And indeed, Ann happily agreed.
Although it took a little persuasion to get "Brother Ann" to dress up as a sandwich, in the end, with her advantage of age, she made Ann give in.
Ever since being tricked by Uncle Maider into dressing as a girl in public, Ann has become much more agreeable.
An epic genius swordsman from the Seven Kingdoms should easily handle the mercenaries and monsters from the United Kingdom of South Sotua.
Although there are significant side effects when Ann draws her sword… this after-effect can be eased or even eliminated through Lolth’s special extraordinary cooking.
In a certain sense, Ann and Dorothy are in similar situations.
They both seem to be under the shadow of a very high-level "curse."
However, the nature of the two people’s situations is still different.
But since the symptoms are the same, there will always be some common ground in the treatment plans.
And the very fortunate thing is that the only ones who currently know the extraordinary cooking of Lolth, besides Lolth herself, are…
Dorothy and Kanor!
For an ordinary adventurer team, having someone like An, who takes at least half a month to prepare, might be a burden.
But for Kanor and Dorothy, he is simply the best teammate.
Of course, for Kanor, bringing An along feels more like carrying extra insurance.
Most of the time, she didn’t plan to let An take action.
However, after the three of them arrived at Wild Boar Mountain and felt the chaotic atmosphere around them, with the mixed extraordinary energies of cultists, monsters, warlocks, and mercenaries, and the three extremely noticeable legend-level Autonomous Guards, An instantly reached for the long box hidden inside his sandwich set.
