Chapter 139: Kululu, Do You Desire Power?

Although Janine Irene’s job is a knight, the title of "Oracle" is not just for show.

The Paladins of the Compassionate Order are skilled in healing, the Judgement Order has especially high damage, and the special skill of the Oracle Knight Order is… incredible perception.

As the commander of the Oracle Knight Order, Janine Irene possesses a powerful divine spell cast by the saintess herself, along with the permanent blessing she earned from her title as commander.

This blessing greatly enhanced her perception abilities and gave her an almost superhuman sixth sense.

Even though Lolth’s aura was perfectly disguised, showing no fluctuations and making it impossible to tell she was a demon.

However, Janine Irene still used her almost playful "intuition" ability—completely unexpected by Lolth—to sense the extraordinary nature of the little girl in the distance and the strange feeling it brought her.

When Lolth saw that the other person’s gaze was almost openly fixed on her, she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wow, are the people from The Church of Light really that powerful?"

She looked at Janine Irene with a strong sense of certainty; this Paladin had clearly noticed her.

However, the reason she didn’t immediately use her space magic to escape was that after a moment of panic, a calm Lolth realized that Janine Irene did not show any hostility.

She seemed to have sensed that something was off with Lolth, but didn’t know why.

That’s true… If my identity as a demon had been exposed, this person would probably launch some Holy Light punishment at me!

Just as Lolth guessed, Janine Irene looked at her and now felt quite puzzled.

This Paladin indeed did not see through Lolth’s disguise.

Although her intuition, enhanced by a blessing, sensed that this girl wearing a straw hat seemed a bit unusual, still…

Her own intuition seemed to have some problems.

In this little girl, she felt a mix of completely different feelings.

Danger, power, evil, closeness, chaos, holiness, peace…

Sometimes she seemed like Her Holiness, sometimes like a cultist, at other times like a Sage, and sometimes as if she were an impure being.

But more often, she really seemed like an ordinary person.

All these feelings appeared at the same time, each taking the lead, and some feelings even contradicted each other—Janine Irene had never experienced such a situation before.

So Janine Irene briefly fell into confusion.

Janine Irene’s first reaction was to wonder if her intuition was wrong.

If her intuition was not wrong, it would be impossible to explain all of this unless the little girl had dozens of souls crowded inside her.

However, considering that Her Holiness will be visiting here in a few days, Janine Irene could not ignore any strange places.

She needed to ensure the absolute safety of the saintess—therefore, Janine Irene reined in her horse, dismounted, and, amidst the puzzled looks of her subordinates and Seychelles soldiers, walked straight towards Lolth.

Finally, she stood in front of Lolth, who had thought for a moment and decided not to run away.

"What is your name?"

Janine Irene looked at Lolth and asked as gently as she could.

The common language with a southern mainland accent fell into Lolth’s ears, and understanding the other’s intention to negotiate, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

"My name is Kululu, and I am fifteen years old," Lolth began to weave a story about a character she had prepared in advance. "I live in Ditch Village near the Seychelles border. Today I took my sheep to graze on the Loess Plateau, and I don’t know how I ended up here at the defense line… Luckily, a kind team of officers helped me, allowing me to rest here for a while, and when the transport team arrives tomorrow, they will take me back."

As Lolth spoke, Janine Irene gently nodded.

"I understand, so you are a lost civilian who wandered here," she replied with complete understanding, clearly not doubting Lolth’s story, "But you give me a strange feeling, so… I may need to conduct an inspection, but please do not worry, it will not harm you."

As Janine Irene said this, Lolth felt anxious.

Although her disguise was theoretically perfect, she was unsure if she could avoid giving away her flaws under the Paladin’s somewhat strange "inspection."

Lolth was ready to cast magic and run away at any moment.

Then, Lolth felt a gentle power of Holy Light wrapping around her soul.

Although a Paladin is not a priest, as a special type of knight, church knights can often use the power of the faith they believe in to some extent.

If it were an ordinary demon race, they would likely be suffering from dizziness, nausea, and pain all at once.

But Lolth felt fine.

While she had felt sick for half the night when she first summoned the first thread of Holy Light power, she had now become desensitized.

It even felt somewhat pleasant, like an ordinary human bathing in Holy Light.

After all, she has never really learned the special spells and abilities of a succubus, which gives her an advantage over other demon races.

The "purification" trait of Holy Light targets chaotic and negative magic, rather than having a true racial identification system.

In fact, Lolth, who can use the God of Light spell, has a certain affinity with the power of Holy Light.

Janine Irene, the wielder of the Holy Light, also noticed this.

"Huh?"

Janine Irene was a bit surprised.

Her so-called "check" was just to confirm why her usually infallible intuition felt that this "undeniably ordinary girl" was both pure and evil, chaotic yet familiar.

The first thing to do is, of course, to rule out the possibility of this person’s soul being fallen or evil.

The best way to identify this is to poke with the power of Holy Light and see what happens.

As a result… although it felt a bit strange, this girl’s soul truly had all the qualities of an ordinary human.

The most important thing is that she actually had a good affinity for Holy Light.

Even though she had no extraordinary power within her, Janine Irene could tell… if she became a priestess or a Paladin for the church, she had great potential, and with time and training, becoming legendary seemed very possible.

Perhaps it was because she lived in a remote area and came from an average family, which is why she never had the chance to learn extraordinary powers.

No wonder I felt that she was somewhat "special."

I accidentally found a genius.

She looked at Lolth with a kind expression.

"Little sister Kululu, do you want to learn extraordinary powers?"
