by post_apiChapter 450: In Hillenbrand Town, Lolth’s Famous Scene of Flirting Begins
Inside City Hall, Isabella and Tina were discussing how to improve the police station’s patrol efficiency while also reducing the security staff needed for the factory area when suddenly a crystal appeared in front of them.
The Magic Crystal, formed from pure magical energy, undoubtedly startled Tina and Isabella.
Soon, both of them felt the presence of a "half-plane" energy coming from it.
Adding to that, they sensed a fleeting wave of space that had just passed, reminding them of Kanor’s request for help with the suddenly appeared rabbit-like monster…
Isabella and Tina quickly reached a conclusion.
"This must have been sent by Master Lolth!"
"That’s right… Lolthlinda must have discovered something again."
The two young girls furrowed their brows and leaned closer to the Magic Crystal quietly resting on the table.
Soon after, Tina quickly arrived at a conclusion.
"There seems to be a Magic Crystal that records and seals some message. It doesn’t have a lock; you just need to inject magic to open it… Should we take a look?"
Tina picked up the Magic Crystal and muttered.
Isabella almost instinctively nodded, but then suddenly thought of something.
"Wait, I think maybe Lolthlinda has another plan!"
"If she really wants to send us a message, why seal it in a Magic Crystal? Isn’t it better to send us a direct magical message?"
Isabella’s words made Tina think as well.
Because for Lolth, even with the distance, she could easily send a message directly with her space magic skills.
Sealing it in a crystal without encryption seems unnecessary.
The elf in a maid outfit thought for a moment and came up with a reasonable explanation.
"Crystal, crystal…"
"I understand now!"
"It’s a Resonance Crystal!"
Tina immediately thought of the problem.
"Right, the Resonance Crystal can resonate with a single Magic Crystal, but it can’t resonate again," Isabella’s eyes brightened, "So Lolthlinda wants us to use the Resonance Crystal!"
"That’s right… but if we simply inject magic, only those around us and Superoperators who can sense magic will see it," Tina nodded slightly, "However, using the related magical technology of the Resonance Crystal can allow more people to see it."
"This must be very important information that everyone in Hillenbrand Town needs to know," Isabella said seriously, "Let’s put aside the police station matter for now… I will gather the townspeople and Superoperators in the square and pause all unnecessary construction. You go find someone to set up the magical facilities!"
As she said this, she stood up and walked towards the door.
Since it was a one-time Magic Crystal, Isabella had to prepare for the fact that Lolth only recorded one copy of this footage.
In this broadcast, we want as many people as possible to see it!
"Understood, just leave it to me."
Tina understood Isabella’s meaning and nodded as she left City Hall.
Both of them showed great efficiency and decisive decision-making!
Even without Lolth, the two girls were already able to run all of Hillenbrand Town smoothly.
Even though they were still rivals in feelings, they had become perfect partners at work.
Isabella visited the Phase One project in the West District and arranged for the fewest people to be on duty at each post, allowing the rest to go to the central square of Hillenbrand Town and even gave the school a half-day off.
Then, she used the newly built broadcasting system in town, and her voice came out from three loudspeakers set up in the South District, West District, and in the town.
"Urgent announcement, Lady Lord Lolth has just sent an urgent Magic Crystal message. We believe it is important for all residents and staff of Hillenbrand Town to watch together. If there are no urgent matters, please quickly head to the central square of Hillenbrand Town!"
"Repeat, if there are no important matters, please go quickly to the central square of Hillenbrand Town!"
After cutting off the communication, Isabella came to the central square with the crystal.
In the central square, Tina, who was also working quickly, was directing the first group of selected "technicians" from the West District to build a rather complex magic device using Resonance Crystals.
Several Resonance Crystals served as the core, and the magic device, with a metal frame, had a groove; across from the magic device was a huge cloth of magical fabric, smoothed out to create a "screen" that could be used for magic scrolls.
This is the "Magic Projector" developed based on Lolth’s idea!
Because the initial design could only use Resonance Crystals to record information and convert it for playback, it did not consider whether this totally sealed Magic Crystal containing visual information could be played.
However, the difference is not very big, so now those technicians are adjusting and testing the structure.
"Get an ordinary Magic Crystal to try… We only have one chance, so we must succeed!"
"Understood!"
"The test is complete, everything went smoothly. I think we can go ahead with the ‘show’!"
Under Tina’s direction, the test was quickly finished.
Tina, standing next to the magic device, glanced at Isabella, who had just arrived, and Isabella nodded back.
"Most of the people are here now."
Isabella said this as she handed the Magic Crystal to Tina.
"Then let’s get started."
Tina said as she placed the Magic Crystal into the magic device.
The magical energy was poured into the Resonance Crystal, and the magic device began to power on.
On the silk cloth woven with magical materials, a blurry image began to appear and grow clearer.
It was in a wide, open hall…
The figure of a girl with black hair appeared from the edge and walked into the circle formed by a ring of metal platforms in the center of the hall.
Even though she had no tail and pointed horns, Tina and Isabella recognized her at once…
It was Lolth!
"Master Lolth…"
"Lolthlinda."
The two girls instinctively called out.
They couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
After all, they had calmly made the "right" judgment and efficiently carried out the best solution…
But they still couldn’t help feeling a little worried.
Why did Lolth suddenly send back a crystal with a message now?
Could it be that she is in some danger?
Is she calling for help?
Since earlier, this kind of worry has lingered in the hearts of the two girls.
It was only after they had done everything they could that this worry finally burst out.
Holding onto this worry, the two girls continued to watch.
Then…
They saw another blurry girl appear on the other side of the screen.
And, they heard Lolth’s voice.
"Hi, my dear."
