Chapter 316: Hospitable Kanor!
"Hiss—"
Accompanied by the heavy sound of giant stones sliding on the ground, the door of the torture tower, made of obsidian and abyss alloy with a level ten magic seal carved inside, slowly opened from the inside out.
In an instant, Janine Irene was on high alert, slightly bending her body as if ready to strike at any moment.
Not far behind her, the Lady of Light squinted her eyes.
In front of the two of them, behind the torture tower door, stood a little girl, around seven or eight years old.
She had black hair and black eyes, wore a chef’s outfit, and held the neck of a dead goose in her hand.
This was naturally Lolth’s eldest disciple, Kanor Fuen!
Seeing the Lady of Light and Janine Irene at the door, Kanor also froze in place.
After all, it was very rare to see new faces at the torture tower.
Especially since City Hall was established, visitors here had become even less common.
For a moment, Kanor looked at the two "country girls" from The Church of Light, while Lady of Light and Janine Irene stared at the little girl dressed as a chef.
The scene fell into an eerie silence for a while.
Kanor was the first to break the silence.
She looked at the two of them, showing a warm, cheerful smile filled with the innocence of an eight-year-old girl.
"Oh, you two strangers… Are you here to find Master Lolth?"
Hearing Kanor’s words, the Holy Maiden and Janine Irene exchanged a glance, both surprised.
Having learned about Hillenbrand Town, they knew exactly who the name Lolth represented!
But…
Why would this little human girl call that succubus her master?
Is this a new brainwashing method?
Although they had many doubts in their hearts, the two of them quickly found the right way to respond.
"We would like to visit the lord here. The people in the town said this is the lord’s residence."
Janine Irene said a bit awkwardly.
As a Paladin who grew up in The Church of Light, her character was almost a model of morality, except for some flaws that appeared in her dreams at night.
Even lying was a burden for Janine Irene!
She had hardly ever lied, so her words sounded a bit stiff and unnatural.
However, this was not a big problem, as they were standing in front of a torture tower that looked filled with the aura of the abyss…
If a commoner looked at this tower without any fear, that would be a serious issue.
Behind Janine Irene, the Lady of Light stepped forward, looked at Kanor, and gently bowed her head, asking in a soft voice.
"Little sister, we have something to report to the lord here… You are her student, right? Can you tell me if she is currently in the tower?"
The Lady of Light’s incredible charm was now shining through.
Hearing the words, Kanor showed an even brighter smile.
"That’s right, I am Master Lolth’s oldest student, learning cooking from her, my name is Kanor," she said as she opened the path behind the door. "Master Lolth is not in the tower right now… But you can come in and wait! I will take you to do something!"
As Kanor spoke, the Lady of Light nodded.
The succubus was not in the torture tower, and this innocent girl invited her into the tower…
This was exactly what she wanted!
As the "student" of that succubus, no matter what the succubus’s purpose was, this little girl seemed to be able to move freely in the tower… She must have some sort of special permission.
She surely knows how to handle the traps and dangers in this tower.
If she’s not careful… she might even spill the details about the Light Artifact!
So, the Lady of Light agreed.
"Then I’ll leave it to you, little sister Kanor!"
Kanor waved her hand and continued, "It’s alright, sisters. My master taught me to always be helpful and warm-hearted… Come with me!"
Holding the big goose, Kanor turned and walked into the tower.
The Lady of Light and Janine Irene, trusting her, followed the cheerful steps of little Kanor.
Once inside the torture tower, the two members of the Church of Light looked around at the decorations, feeling quite shocked.
It was like stepping into Hillenbrand Town and seeing buildings with styles that were different from any country, race, or power on the continent, and noticing the many magic devices that seemed to belong to ancient civilizations.
Apart from the first level, the interior of the torture tower feels almost devoid of any abyss-like presence.
Instead, it resembles a version of Hillenbrand Town outside.
Clean and tidy, simple magic devices are everywhere, serving basic functions like "cleaning" and "lighting."
Most importantly, it seems there really is no danger here!
Those inactive magic circles are etched into the walls, but they have no aggressive nature!
There are no hideous magical beasts, no terrifying torture devices or screams, no dark and damp environment, no chaotic and dangerous magic…
Everything feels like a "Mage Tower," only with a more streamlined style and a greater number of luxurious magic devices!
Meanwhile, Kanor kept busy, cheerfully introducing the two "visitors" in her lively and innocent tone.
"Even though Master Lolth is from a demon race, surprisingly, she is a nice person!"
"And Master Lolth is really smart and kind. She ‘invented’ all these magic devices and plans to give them to the other residents for free!"
"Master Lolth is also very nice to me. She taught me everything about cooking and her amazing powers!"
"I don’t have the key to the meeting room, but I can take you to the kitchen to try the dishes that Lady Lolth personally taught me!"
As for Kanor’s words, the Lady of Light and Janine Irene naturally thought they were just silly nonsense from a child who had been tricked.
However, they did not object to going to the "kitchen" at that moment.
After all, the succubus still had not returned, so it was better to go along with the little girl to gain their trust.
On the way to the kitchen, the Lady of Light and Janine Irene unexpectedly passed the interrogation rooms marked with the names of various powers and races.
Just like Isabella and Tina, the two instantly made a completely wrong but reasonable judgment.
"This succubus… has quite a big ambition…"
"Indeed, what this little girl said were the words spoken after being deceived by that succubus!"
Especially when they saw the interrogation room that belonged to The Church of Light and the Holy Lieto Empire, their pupils shrank even more.
It was just that they couldn’t show it in front of Kanor!
