Chapter 335: Will the People From the Church of Light Still Come Here?
The words of the Lady of Light reached Janine Irene’s ears, calming this Paladin down.
As a legend-level Paladin and the commander of the Oracles Knight Order, Janine Irene is not a fool.
It’s just that when it comes to matters related to the Lady of Light, she tends to be somewhat…
"Worrying can cause confusion."
So when the Holy Maiden clearly finished expressing her thoughts, Janine Irene also realized…
Her Holiness spoke truly.
Compared to running away, indeed, trying one more time has a higher chance of success.
Retrieving the Divine Artifact and purifying the former saintess… This was also their plan.
"I understand, Her Holiness; I will do my best to assist you shortly."
She replied this way, gently nodded, and then fell silent.
Instead, she looked with Her Holiness at the "former saintess" on the stage.
However, both Janine Irene and the Lady of Light overlooked one thing.
That is, not far in front of them, Kanor, pretending to cheer and marvel, glanced at the two and revealed a smile of "The plan is working."
Because the two people lowered their voices to talk, and everyone around was "ordinary people focused on the stage," using the northern dialect of the Holy Lieto Empire, they didn’t think anyone could eavesdrop.
To eavesdrop, one must use extraordinary skills of perception without being detected by the two and also understand the dialect of the Holy Lieto Empire.
However, they did not expect…
The little girl, Kanor, used a listening device made of Versatile Kitchenware placed under the two, without using any extraordinary skills of perception at all.
As for the northern dialect of the Holy Lieto Empire…
For this talented girl, who dreamed of becoming an Itinerant Chef and had exceptional memory and understanding, it was material she had already mastered through self-study.
Now, there are not many languages in the continent that Kanor struggles to understand.
Therefore, the two’s "secret conversation" was completely overheard by Kanor.
"Sure enough, they are from The Church of Light, but… I didn’t expect it to be the Holy Maiden and Commander Janine Irene of the Oracles Knight Order…"
"I caught a big fish!"
"If I had known I didn’t want to run away, I wouldn’t have wasted those ‘Daydream Fruits’…"
"After all, if I provoke Master Lolth, they definitely won’t be able to leave…"
"Well, never mind, I still have plenty of ‘Daydream Fruits’."
The little girl shook her head, hiding her expression again.
Now… I just need to enjoy the ‘performance’ that Master Lolth brings!
Speaking of which, it’s rare for Master Lolth to dress up, and she looks absolutely beautiful.
No wonder Tina, Isabella, and Dorothy are all crazy about Master Lolth.
Hmm… But those two from The Church of Light also seem quite attractive.
Looking at this beautiful appearance and noble identity, it is likely that she will also be captured by Master Lolth… perhaps…
Although Kanor still doesn’t understand whether Lolth wants more "captives" or not… she has figured out one pattern.
A girl who is high in status, respected, strong, young, and beautiful…
As long as she meets these conditions and plans to go against Master Lolth.
They basically all have to live in the torture tower, and in the end, most will experience the process from "I would rather die than yield" to being a "potential disciple."
Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem so optimistic after all, because this means Sister Dorothy has a few more competitors!
While Kanor was enjoying the show, a sense of worry began to rise within her.
And while Lolth on stage was casting the Supreme Divine Spell, wearing a holy and loving expression, she felt an inexplicable chill.
"Hmm… why do I feel like something bad is going to happen?"
"It seems like just when my life had finally settled down a bit, a new change is about to come…"
Lolth quickly went through her recent actions in her mind and felt that there was nothing that would attract attention from others on the continent, or anything that would give the Demon King a reason to promote her.
"It must be an illusion!"
Lolth came to a conclusion.
If there was any risk, it would be the fact that she was publicly using the God of Light magic right now!
But the people in the town who could tell that this was the genuine God of Light magic could be considered "allies."
Kanor, Dorothy, Isabella, Tina, An, the landlady, Maider…
She could trust all of them, and some even already knew about her skill.
As for the other ordinary Superoperators and townsfolk, she could just explain it as "a magic device simulation" or "a trick with magic."
Anyway, they can’t see it!
To truly recognize that the power being used is from the Holy Light of the Church of Light, one needs to have legendary strength or be a high-ranking member of the Church of Light!
But how could such a person appear in this remote little town?
Even if they did show up, they should come in a strong manner like Gandhi Alter, and one would notice them instantly.
It can’t be that a well-known powerful person from the continent, or someone in a high position, has mysteriously hidden their strength and come to Hillenbrand Town, especially not to target me!
So why are they here? Just to take a stroll in the town?
It can’t be to visit family!
Besides, even if a high-ranking person from the mainland really did arrive, what difference would it make?
At most, it would just make one of their forces more alert!
There is no need to worry too much about using the power of Holy Light, except for the other forces besides The Church of Light; they are simply very attentive.
Could it be that The Church of Light will send someone to sneak in?
Lolth, who pays close attention to the matters of the continent, knows very well that at this time, right before the "Pope’s election," no bishop or knight order would want to send their experts to interfere with their own affairs.
Is it really just for an uncertain Light Artifact that might be here?
Right now, the only ones from The Church of Light who still care about this matter are probably the Holy Maiden and the Oracles Knight Order, who were last seen on the New West Line.
But if the Holy Maiden were to personally come, it would surely be a grand event!
A struggle over a Divine Artifact should probably lead to a small-scale local war with The Church of Light!
Surely the Holy Maiden wouldn’t sneak in here with just a guard, right?
If that were the case, it would indeed be quite shocking.
But even if that kind of thing really happened, Lolth thought it would be okay—after all, the Holy Maiden was still part of the enemy forces.
The enemy forces meant they had a reason to capture her, so that the other side couldn’t spread any news!
However, if they captured the Lady of Light, that would be a great achievement.
Lolth felt she needed to think carefully about this "achievement" matter.
After all, besides being targeted by other forces on the continent, not being targeted by the Lord of the Demon King was also very important!
