Chapter 140: Doyle, Why Is It You Again?

Since her soul had been validated by the power of the "Holy Light," Janine Irene thought that those feelings of "evil" and "impurity" were just her misunderstanding.

After all, this place is close to the gathering spot of the Abyssal Demons, so it’s normal for her senses to be affected—she had never felt the presence of the demon race before, so she might have been too anxious.

The little girl named Kululu came from a pure background and seemed to have a nice personality. Plus, with her remarkable talent, fifteen is not too late to start learning extraordinary powers.

Janine Irene also felt it was time to train some new talents for the church and for Her Holiness.

Although she is the leader of the Oracles Knight Order, most of the epic vice leaders and Superlative Level captains are close associates of various cathedral bishops or descendants of high-ranking officials from the Holy Lieto Empire.

The structure of the Mercy and Justice groups is mostly similar.

For this task appointed by Her Holiness, only she could lead, as those vice officers could not be ordered by the saintess herself.

Now that the old pope is gravely ill, every cardinal and archbishop has a chance to be elected as the next pope.

Even though everyone is a devoted follower and servant of the God of Light, Janine Irene has to admit that these individuals might lack some good qualities beyond their piety.

Just like Her Holiness’s recent actions, it is impossible to send their clever apprentices to the front lines to fight the demon race without telling them the purpose.

So Janine Irene realized that what she needed was a talented girl like Kululu, born in a small village, without any noble marks or faction colors.

If she could train her to become an epic Paladin, she would have a reliable ally.

No… with the Holy Light affinity this little girl has shown, she may even reach legend level.

And it won’t take too long; as a legend-level Paladin herself, she could definitely make her at least an Epic High Level within ten years.

Janine Irene thought this way and began to plan how to report to Her Holiness.

However, Lolth, standing opposite her, looked at this "friendly and kind" Paladin and couldn’t hold back her true feelings.

"No, what a hassle, let’s skip it."

Lolth said this while shaking her hand in refusal with a pained expression.

She certainly didn’t think that "learning to become a Paladin" was a hassle. For Lolth, learning extraordinary powers had always been relatively easy, and when it came to something that could increase her chances of survival in this world, especially in the Abyss, Lolth felt she couldn’t afford to slack off.

What she found troublesome was… if she truly agreed, she would have to continue pretending to be the talented Holy Light girl, Kululu from Ditch Village, in front of this legendary Paladin. That was truly torturous.

So this was definitely not suitable!

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now. I still have to tend to the sheep."

Without giving Janine Irene any time to react, Lolth turned and walked away, leaving the Paladin with a graceful silhouette.

Janine Irene also never expected that Lolth would actually refuse her.

After all, from a common sense perspective, how could a commoner refuse the chance to become a Superoperator?

Janine Irene hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to call Lolth back.

As a Paladin of The Church of Light, she had good manners and would not force someone to do something against their will.

At the same time, she knew that she was not in Eden Palace now.

In the camp built by the people of Seychelles, she was not just Janine Irene, but also the commander of the Oracle Knight Order.

She represented the face of The Church of Light.

Therefore, Janine Irene could not show too much enthusiasm for a common girl.

Although she did have high hopes for the girl named Kululu.

"Alright."

Janine Irene returned to the group.

In her heart, she felt quite confident, after all, the other person was just a common girl. Now that she knew the name, appearance, and address, finding her would be easy.

Later, she could slowly persuade her… Although the people of Seychelles believed in the Holy Light, there were still few followers, so being rejected was to be expected.

Next time they meet in private, she will tell her about the benefits of studying with her and the rewards of becoming a Superoperator. The young girl will surely be excited!

This time she was turned down, probably just because she truly didn’t understand what she and the Oracles Knight Order represented.

Janine Irene thought this and felt more at ease.

Besides, the girl named Kululu would stay here for one night.

She didn’t have anything to do tonight, and Her Holiness would arrive in a few days, so as long as she kept Kululu for a few days, it would be easy to have Her Holiness persuade her if needed.

What Janine Irene didn’t know was that after leaving everyone’s sight, Lolth immediately used her space magic.

She found the lambs that Pilaf had placed in the stable, and then she took all five lambs and ran away!

After confirming that the Holy Alliance wouldn’t attack in the next few days and knowing who was sent by The Church of Light, she realized she didn’t need to stay here anymore.

Besides, she felt that Janine Irene was a bit too much trouble in every way, and it wasn’t necessary to be too involved with her.

That cheating-like sixth sense is really annoying.

"In any case, we cannot let the Demon Army know about the movements on the new western front… The most important thing is, we must not let this guy get captured."

Lolth must have quietly made up her mind that a few days later, when Janine Irene launches a full attack on the western front, as long as she shows any sign, she will definitely teleport her away.

This guy must never step into my Interrogation Department’s territory.

What if she uses her sixth sense to find out my secret about slacking off and cheating on the funds and then uses that against me with the Demon King?

Lolth returned to the torture tower in Hillenbrand Town with the little lambs.

The teleportation spot was set in the reception room of the torture tower, where Tina and Isabella usually wouldn’t come, so it would effectively hide where she had gone.

However, as soon as the teleportation landed, Lolth saw a familiar face in the reception room.

With pink hair and a childlike appearance, it was none other than the Little Devil, whom she had not seen for just a few days.

"Lady Doyle Candice? What are you doing here!"

The appearance of this guy startled Lolth.

But Doyle looked at Lolth, who was dressed like a simple countryside girl, and was very surprised.

"Lord Lolth, why are you dressed like this… and what is this leftover power of Holy Light on you? And what about these five sheep?"

The two looked at each other again, falling into silence.
