Chapter 352: A Reward? Absolutely Not!
Thinking calmly, it is reasonable that she has strong backing.
When she signed up for the Demon Army, her application made her the head of the Interrogation Department immediately.
Although the entire department was basically idle for two years, and her only subordinate was Kululu, who was even lazier than she was…
But from the perspective of my job’s responsibilities, it is indeed a good position with a high rank.
If I compare it to my previous life’s ancient times, I should be considered someone like the Minister of Justice or the head of the Supreme Court, while also overseeing the Imperial Guards.
Furthermore, I can communicate directly with the highest authorities. People like Shelldor, a powerful general, and Doyle Candice, a prominent eunuch, are both very polite to me.
My mother and sister must have a status like the beloved consort of the former emperor or the royal wet nurse.
As for why it has to be a beloved consort and a wet nurse…
That’s because they belong to the succubus race!
So, does that mean I am somewhat like a prince or something similar?
Considering that the high-ranking officials and deities of the main realm and the Abyss have signed a "secret agreement," Lolth is starting to realize something important.
From now on, I need to increase my efforts in the Demon Army!
As long as she didn’t directly betray her country or side with the God of Light, the Demon King would probably spare her because of her family ties.
But as she thought this, Lolth suddenly felt a chill run down her back.
Wait a moment…
It seemed like she had just used the God of Light’s Holy Light power right in front of the Demon King.
So, Lolth took a glance and cautiously asked.
"Um, Demon King, by the way, what do you think about me using the God of Light’s magic?"
"Hmmm?"
The Demon King looked at Lolth’s cautious expression and became interested.
"This is one of the things I want to ask Dear Lolth," the Demon King said as she took a gentle step forward, releasing a spark of magic from her smooth fingertips. It quickly formed a delicate thread that wound around Lolth’s body. "It’s strange; Dear Lolth, you really don’t have any Holy Light power in you!"
"Although I don’t know how you did it… but you shouldn’t believe in the God of Light, right?"
The Demon King asked curiously, and Lolth also sighed in relief.
"Yes, the Lord of the Demon King… um, it’s truly wonderful how sharp you are and how you see everything clearly!"
As Lolth said this, the Demon King slightly nodded.
"Don’t worry, Dear Lolth, I really trust your loyalty… after all, your contributions to the Demon Army are well-known."
"Using the power of the God of Light is probably your secret, so I won’t ask more about it…"
As the Demon King said this, Lolth felt a bit embarrassed.
Although she really didn’t believe in the God of Light, she also wasn’t very loyal.
The "contributions" she made to the Demon Army were mostly accidental.
Thinking about it, I really feel a bit sorry for the Lord of the Demon King. I took so much funding and didn’t do anything, yet they still trust me so much.
A slight feeling of guilt unexpectedly arose in Lolth’s heart.
However, this small guilt was like a wisp of smoke, fleeting and vanished without a trace.
"No, it’s not that… Lord of the Demon King, you flatter me."
As Lolth said this, the Demon King continued to speak.
"Not at all. In fact, Dear Lolth, haven’t you made many contributions to the Demon Army using the power of the God of Light?" The Demon King said this while looking toward the direction of the torture tower. "Capturing the God of Light’s blessing and Janine Irene this time, along with the previous Light Artifact… those are all great achievements!"
"Moreover, Dear Lolth, you didn’t even know the gods had a limit on their power, right…? So you really are brave!"
As the Demon King praised Lolth, the smile that was on her face suddenly vanished.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was facing the Demon King at that moment, the mask of pain would have appeared on her face again!
Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
"I don’t want it to be like this either… They brought it upon themselves…"
Lolth wanted to argue this point, but seeing the appreciative look on the Demon King’s face, she could only nod and humbly say.
"It’s all just chance and fate…"
When the Demon King heard Lolth say this, she kindly patted the succubus on the shoulder.
"Dear Lolth, you don’t need to be so humble. One important thing I want to ask is… You have accomplished such great feats by capturing the God of Light’s favor and Divine Artifact… What reward do you want?"
Before Lolth could respond, the Demon King thought for a moment and said, "I spoke with Doyle earlier, and we decided to grant you the title of Honorary Commander, a sub-king level in name. We will inform the Abyss and the entire Demon Army, and designate the next territory we conquer as your second fief… What do you think?"
Lolth, who still hadn’t fully reacted, felt a wave of unease wash over her upon hearing this.
For her, it was like a bolt from the blue!
Honorary Commander, a sub-king level, and also reporting to the whole Abyss, this is putting oneself in a dangerous situation!
If my mom finds out how I made my achievement… that would be even worse!
When I return to the Abyss, I will be spun around like a top!
As for the second piece of land… it is definitely not usable!
A small and remote place like Hillenbrand Town has already caused so many problems; if I get another piece of land, will I ever have a moment of peace?
At that time, it might be the turning point of the whole Abyss and the main plane war, and the key battles could break out in my territory!
If it was just some kind of battle, that would be different; although it’s all chaos, it could be avoided.
What if…
I become the spark that ignites everything?
In the year xxxx of the continent, Demon Army Interrogator Lolth Linda was assassinated in her territory, which became the spark that ignited the war to a full scale.
This kind of thing is not impossible!
Even the Lady of Light, along with Janine Irene, Heidegger, and Froer, reaching Hillenbrand Town already sounded the alarm!
And there was also the old man Gandhi Alter and those two unfortunate cultists, who almost got themselves into serious trouble.
So, even considering the challenges of the "End of Days" and "Hell," a larger territory might also bring more opportunities.
However, Lolth still felt it was not worth it!
It was better for her to stay in a small area and grow quietly!
The larger the territory, the greater the responsibility; she was not even a god, so without the right skills, she shouldn’t take on difficult tasks.
She looked at the Demon King with a very determined gaze.
"Thank you, Lord of the Demon King, but… honor means nothing to me; ruling a territory will take too much of my energy, so please find someone else."
