Chapter 241: The Package From the Abyss
Although Doyle’s words were shocking at first, after thinking carefully, Lolth felt there was nothing strange about it.
After all, the noise from the "Divine Artifact" was too big; it was impossible to think she could hide it completely!
Moreover, the Church of Light had also made a big fuss before retreating from Vera Plain… Considering her previous information, it was normal for the Demon King to misunderstand something.
All of this was expected by Lolth.
But because she had anticipated it, Lolth already had a plan.
She had covered up the aura of the Light Artifact, so it made no sense to say the Light Artifact was with her.
"Divine Artifact, what Divine Artifact?" Perfectly suppressing her uneasy feelings, Lolth showed just the right amount of surprise and confusion. "Ah, there was indeed something containing the power of Holy Light that flew over Hillenbrand Town before disappearing; it must be the Divine Artifact that the Demon King mentioned— it has nothing to do with me! The Demon King is really overestimating me!"
Lolth said in a tone that felt quite honored.
When Doyle Candice heard Lolth’s words, she fell into deep thought and then nodded her head, showing a look of understanding after some consideration.
"I understand now—I will report to the Demon King."
Hearing Doyle Candice say this, Lolth let out a sigh of relief.
"That’s great! You must make this clear."
Lolth thought that if this misunderstanding was not resolved, it would lead to big trouble.
She can’t change what the Church of Light thinks… So, it is important that the Demon King must not believe she has the ability to snatch the Divine Artifact.
With that typical Abyss urgency and straightforwardness, plus the Demon King’s strange way of thinking, wouldn’t she directly send me to attack the Church of Light or take some Divine Artifacts from other gods to spice things up?
At that time, I would truly be at a loss.
It is rare to have a misunderstanding that can be explained, and Lolth felt she must seize this opportunity.
Doyle nodded and continued to speak.
"Well, let’s not mention that for now. After all, it seems the Demon King hasn’t decided how to reward you for something as big as the ‘Divine Artifact’… However, the Demon King has other rewards for you," Doyle said as she took out two space magic bags from her pocket. "In any case, your information wasted an opportunity for The Church of Light to use the Supreme Divine Spell… At least for a few years, the Lady of Light and the entire church will have one less powerful weapon. If not for your information, Lord Lolth, the West would have suffered greatly."
"That’s right, thank you, Lord Lolth! Lolthlinda—long live!"
Shelldor sincerely cheered.
If it weren’t for Lolth’s information and advice, the demon dragon legion stationed in Palgauro City would surely have launched a full attack—Shelldor knew well that while she had a broader view than the usual demon race, she was not particularly careful.
Achilles would probably face serious trouble as well.
Feeling the importance of Lolth’s information once again, Shelldor’s emotions were genuine at that moment.
However, upon hearing this, Lolth simply sighed softly.
"What is meant to happen will indeed come."
Although Lolth’s thoughts about her possible "merit" in "intelligence" were interrupted by the Light Artifact and the events that followed, she still had some warnings about this matter.
The Light Artifact managed to minimize the bad effects on the Demon Army through remedial measures, but after thinking about the consequences of this "intelligence," Lolth came to a conclusion…
There was nothing to do but wait for the Demon King’s reward to arrive.
However, the result looked pretty good…
But what was in the magic bag should be a material reward.
It makes sense to think that after rewarding the Demon Army Chief Consultant, there couldn’t be any further promotions for a while.
However, Lolth was not a short-sighted person; she knew that the long-term and potential bad effects were immeasurable.
She had definitely earned some reputation with the Demon King.
Now, it would be even harder to be lazy!
But now Lolth herself was feeling quite sad and had no mood to think of any solutions.
She still leaned back on the sofa, looking at the space magic bag that Doyle had placed on the table, and said, "Your Excellency Doyle, what did the Demon King reward us with?"
There were two space magic bags on the table, one black and one deep purple. Doyle nudged the black magic bag and showed a joyful expression.
"Oh wow, the Demon King has been very generous this time… probably about ten thousand Abyssal Crystals, along with some top-quality abyssal magical materials from various territories," Doyle said, pointing to the other space magic bag. "But there is still only one magic bag—the other one is not from the Demon King; it’s a ‘supply package’ sent to you by the Succubus territory."
"Huh?"
Lolth showed a look of confusion.
Due to the troop organization, the whole Succubus clan that came to the main plane with the Demon Army was actually only Lolth, the interrogator.
She didn’t really need any "supply packages" by herself; the Succubus territory had never sent her anything extra.
After all, her mother’s approach to education had always been quite strange…
This time, she received a magic bag, and Lolth felt a bit confused.
"It’s from the succubus territory. What could it be…?"
She couldn’t help but ask.
"I don’t know. I haven’t opened it," Doyle shook her head. "But… it must be something good, right? The Little Devil from the Abyss told me it’s a valuable item that must be delivered as a special request."
After saying this, Doyle soared into the air.
"Well—anyway, that’s all I needed to mention. Now it’s Her Excellency Shelldor’s turn," she said as she flapped her wings and flew outside. "So, I’m going to explore this fascinating territory of Lord Lolth now, and then I have to report back… so, goodbye for now!"
Although she wanted to stop Doyle, fearing she might exaggerate anything she saw to the Demon King, she remembered that Doyle hadn’t really done anything last time. The title of Chief Consultant wasn’t earned just because Hillenbrand Town was well-organized—Doyle knew that others would speak up, too, so Lolth let her be.
"Alright then, take care, Her Excellency Doyle!"
At least this time, the Little Devil could help clarify the matter of the Divine Artifact.
After Doyle nodded and flew out of the torture tower, she immediately picked up the communication device to report on the "Light Artifact."
However, the direction was completely different from what Lolth had imagined.
