Chapter 289: Run, Tina!

As Lolth’s dream illusions gradually invaded the surrounding room and became clear and real, the residents and Superoperators in Hillenbrand Town also began to faint one by one.

Because Isabella already knew this scene would happen, no one got hurt with the help of the Superoperator who had not eaten that kind of fruit.

Those who fell asleep and those who were about to fall asleep were gathered together, and after everything was explained to their relatives and the remaining residents, the Superoperators helped carry them back to their own homes, and there were no unexpected events or troubles.

During this process, Tina, the acting lord of Hillenbrand Town, was also startled by the sudden fainting of many people.

Soon, she learned what was happening here from Dorothy, but her worries did not fade away at all.

Because from Dorothy, Tina learned that Lolth had accidentally consumed a fruit from the abyss with unknown effects, making her even more anxious!

"I wonder if something happened to Master Lolth… No, I need to go see the Torture Tower!"

After hearing the whole story in the square, Tina anxiously spoke and started towards the Torture Tower.

Meanwhile, Isabella, who had just settled everyone back in the square, was beside Dorothy explaining to Tina. Feeling Tina’s anxiety, she began to feel a little uneasy herself.

But she realized that letting Tina go to the Torture Tower alone might make things worse, so she grabbed the little fairy.

"What can you do if you go there? You don’t even understand the nature of the abyssal monsters," Isabella said with conviction. "Since Lolth chose to leave on her own, she must have her reasons…"

Tina’s eyes widened when she heard Isabella say this, and she retorted, "How can I not help? I at least need to take a look…"

As the atmosphere between the two grew tense, it was Kanor, the eight-year-old girl, who remained calm.

"Um, sisters… Since your main worry is not knowing the effect of ‘Coma Fruit’ on succubus, shouldn’t we go ask my mother at the tavern?"

Kanor stepped forward, standing between the two, and asked.

"Your mother… the landlady of the tavern?"

Isabella looked at Kanor and asked.

"That’s right," Kanor nodded, "It might sound a bit strange… but my mother actually knows a little bit about everything, and Master Lolth had asked her some questions before."

After saying this, she paused and added, "I didn’t notice it before, but after learning about extraordinary powers, I realized she might be quite special… and her age is definitely much more than Sister Tina’s."

"I see… then we shouldn’t wait, let’s go ask her!"

Anxious Tina nodded and turned to follow Kanor towards the tavern in Hillenbrand Town.

The celebration in Hillenbrand Town had completely ended, and with most participants fallen into a deep sleep, the town’s night returned to its usual quietness.

Kanor, Dorothy, Tina, and Isabella quickly arrived in front of the small tavern.

The door was half-open as usual, and when they pushed it open, the landlady was still sitting behind the bar as if she had not moved for ages, holding a wine glass in her hand.

"Mother—this is…"

Kanor looked at the landlady, who was pouring herself a drink, and was about to speak when her mother interrupted her.

"Tina and Isabella… hmm, I know you," she said, a small smile appearing on her face. "You two are here for Lolth, right?"

Hearing the landlady’s words and sensing her ordinary, magic-less presence, Isabella and Tina exchanged glances.

"You really seem to know everything!"

Tina said with a bit of excitement.

"Ah… don’t listen to that child talk nonsense, I’m just someone who has lived a little longer. Tonight, I’m only keeping an eye on the west because of the commotion caused by that succubus," the landlady said calmly, waving her hand. "Oh dear… it’s really amazing, that ‘magic energy storage stone’ thing… even I am quite surprised."

Upon hearing the landlady’s words, for some reason, Isabella and Tina couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased.

However, their pride didn’t last long as they quickly remembered they had serious matters to ask about.

"So, let’s get straight to the point. Lolth accidentally took the ‘Abyss Daydream Fruit.’ That fruit seems to have a special effect on succubi… We want to know what will happen to a succubus after she eats it, and whether it will harm her."

Isabella asked seriously.

"Harm?"

Hearing this question, the landlady paused for a moment and then laughed.

"For Lolthlinda, the unusual little succubus… there could indeed be harm!"

She said this with a smile, and Tina started to feel anxious again.

"Oh? What should we do! Please tell me how we can save Lolth!"

Tina said urgently, and the landlady shook her head again.

"No, I think you misunderstood, little Moon Elf," the landlady said calmly, explaining to Tina and Isabella, "This fruit may have ‘harm’ for Lolth, but it does not bring ‘danger’… it will just make her feel very embarrassed…"

After she finished speaking, she pulled out a thick, huge book that looked like a picture book from under the bar. She casually opened a page, and the yellowed paper showed a drawing of purple fruit.

"The special product of the Abyssal Succubus is ‘Daydream Fruit.’ The effect after a succubus takes it is ‘deep sleep, filled with dreams that express the true desires hidden in the heart, and these dreams become real, while the body in the dream enters a state of arousal’—that’s it! She will probably feel so embarrassed when she wakes up."

Tina and Isabella looked at the straightforward words in the book and felt a little flushed in their faces.

But soon, Tina repeated the meaning of the words, as if she realized something.

"The body enters an arousal state, reflecting true desires in dreams… Ah! I need to hurry to the torture tower!"

Tina exclaimed this loudly.

Then she noticed a few people looking at her in surprise and added.

"Um… Thank you for the picture book, landlady, but since Lolth is very special among succubi, I’m worried something might happen to her," Tina said, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, showing a face that seemed to be holding back a smile. "I need to hurry to protect Lolth!"

Saying this, Tina turned and ran towards the direction of the torture tower!
