Chapter 116: The Business of the Little Devil
Chyzh Winchester still pointed Doyle Candice towards the road to Palgauro City.
It’s not just because this Little Devil pulled out three items with Divine Artifact energy in a split second, activated a two-layer magical shield that seemed able to withstand legendary attacks without harm, tore up six Forbidden Spell Level magic scrolls, and produced over twenty mini Golem Puppets with Superlative Level energy, all while operating a teleport locator as if she planned to call for help at any moment…
The main reason is that all of the Little Devil’s attacks were aimed at the few sneaky Elite Level monsters behind her—although Chyzh Winchester is a cultist, she is still a well-educated countess who knows how to show gratitude!
It is absolutely not because she is scared or anything!
"You must have been drinking with the demon dragon, right? You smell like alcohol… Be careful, the drinks of the Abyssal Demon are mixed with many Magic Potion ingredients, and with the aura of the Abyss, they can be quite attractive to monsters."
"I have a cloak to hide your aura; judging by your outfit, you must be a noble Superoperator. If you like cloaks, this style suits you well—since we met on the road, I’ll sell it to you for a good price!"
"Oh, money doesn’t matter, it’s okay if you didn’t bring any—I can trade it for something else!"
Chyzh Winchester stood in the wild, wearing her newly bought gray cloak, remembering her recent encounter with the Little Devil.
The demon race surprisingly… has good people too!
Not only did she save her, but she also sold her a "Stealth Cloak" at almost no cost.
With this, whether she stays in Vera Plain or goes to human territory, she wouldn’t have to worry about her remaining Ultimate Power aura revealing her after transforming!
It is so useful, much more useful than my original robe!
After saying goodbye to Chyzh Winchester, Little Devil Doyle Candice flew while flapping her wings and whistling, stuffing the things she took from this countess into her ninety-fourth travel magic bag.
"I traded a mass-produced robe from the Eleventh Legion’s Vanguard for an epic priest robe, a bag of silver coins, and two Superlative Level ranger short swords… Hmm, what a deal! The money of these human nobles is easier to earn than that of trolls and Lemures—no wonder the Demon King is so keen on promoting a ‘peace policy’ in the conquered areas. She is really clever!"
She happily headed toward Palgauro City and then took out her magic locator.
"Let’s see where Shelldor is…"
This device looked like the "○-ball radar" from a classic comic, featuring a processed Abyssal Crystal embedded in a metal frame, continuously emitting weak detection signals that showed all the powerful magic sources nearby that were not hiding their auras.
It is more convenient than detection skills, but its downside is that it is not very specific or accurate, essentially providing a view similar to that of the demon race’s lizard scouts.
Many light spots appeared on the Abyssal Crystal, with the largest one located near the center of Palgauro City.
"Ah, Shelldor is over there…"
Following the direction of the magic crystal, Doyle sped up her flight and soon arrived near the clock tower in Palgauro City.
Struggling to flap her wings, she flew to the top of the clock tower and saw Shelldor and Lolth sitting quietly, drinking without a word.
"Oh, Lord Lolth is here too," Doyle said in surprise, "What are you two doing drinking here…?"
The arrival of Little Devil broke the awkward silence caused by Shelldor’s straightforward question, and the Red Dragon flashed a cheerful smile at Doyle.
"I was actually having a celebration party—I wanted to have a drink alone with Lolthlinda," she said, shaking the cup in her hand, looking adorably innocent, "Your Excellency Doyle, would you like a couple of drinks?"
"No thanks, this is my last stop," Doyle waved her hand and pulled out a space magic bag, tossing it to Shelldor, "This is the supply for the Second Legion this month—after I take a look around Palgauro City, I’ll head back to the Demon King Castle to report!"
"Oh, I see. What a pity, Your Excellency Doyle… Today is a special day! You can go on and be busy… If you want something to eat, you can find my aide!"
Shelldor said, slightly drunk.
"Hmm, I understand… But what’s with the signs of battle in the city?"
On the way here, Doyle naturally noticed the hole in the roof of the Lauren Institute.
"Well… it’s really my fault, and I will fix it, but that’s because… I was too worried about Lolthlinda—"
Although Lolth had sipped many cups, she hadn’t actually drunk any alcohol, and now she was completely clear-headed. She stood up and began to explain to Doyle.
"Ah, the situation is like this…"
Lolth casually explained a bit about the cultists, while hiding a little of her own involvement, and she also somewhat excused Shelldor for causing some damage in the central area of Palgauro City.
"I see, there are such things…"
Doyle nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, although Shelldor, you broke the Demon King’s orders by causing damage in the city, the situation is special, and the Demon King definitely won’t pursue it… I will report the matter of the cult honestly, and your two contributions… are very significant!"
"No, no, no, this is related to my sister," Lolth quickly corrected Little Devil’s statement, then pulled out the information she had fabricated, "Anyway, just make sure all the credit for this goes to Shelldor—this is information about the Holy Alliance’s counterattack plan, and please be sure to present it to the Demon King!"
Upon hearing the information, Doyle Candice became serious, carefully put it away, and nodded.
"The situation was urgent… so I left first."
After speaking, the Little Devil flapped her wings and flew into the night.
On top of the clock tower, only Shelldor and Lolth were left.
"Thank you, Lolthlinda," Shelldor said again after Doyle left, "you gave all the credit to me."
"No, I didn’t do much… and I dislike being in the spotlight, you know." Lolth casually explained.
"I understand… so I will keep your relationship with that knight a secret."
Shelldor continued.
"Why is the conversation back to this again… I really have nothing with her, it’s all a misunderstanding!"
Lolth said somewhat helplessly.
However, when she said that again, she felt a bit uneasy herself.
