Chapter 367: Dorothy’s Acting and Kanor’s Advice

"The reason I feel that supporting you from the shadows is no longer possible is that there are more and more candidates around Master Lolth who can become her partner…"

"As I said, the Lady of Light and that Paladin will be strong competitors for you."

"With so many competitors, if I continue to secretly help Sister Dorothy without your cooperation… I don’t feel completely sure."

"So, the thing I need to apologize for is… that the Lady of Light and Janine Irene were ‘captured’ because of me."

"Although Master Lolth might also have backup plans to keep them from leaving, the direct reason for their capture was indeed because I put Abyss Daydream Fruit in the food I gave them."

"But this is something I had to do as a disciple of my master, so… I’m sorry, Sister Dorothy, even though I said I would help you, I have brought you new competitors."

Kanor sincerely told Dorothy about what she had done.

Upon hearing Kanor’s words, Dorothy nodded gently.

"There is nothing to apologize for, Martial Sister Kanor; you simply did what you had to do… If you harmed the teacher’s interests to help me, that would rather make me feel upset."

As Dorothy said this, she smiled.

"I am already very happy that you, Martial Sister Kanor, are willing to help me… Besides, even though Lady of Light and Janine Irene have been captured, it doesn’t mean they will like Teacher Lolth or become my rivals, right?"

As Dorothy said this, Kanor paused for a moment and slowly shook her head.

"Although I don’t have evidence to prove this, my intuition tells me that they will definitely like Master Lolth."

"However, Sister Dorothy, there is a reason for your disbelief—so we still need to see Lady of Light and Janine Irene in person."

"Master Lolth is most likely talking with the two of them right now… Once Master Lolth finishes her conversation, let’s find a chance to check on their situation."

Kanor said this, and Dorothy slowly nodded, showing her agreement.

This was also the last thing the two girls talked about before Lolth arrived.

Now, while Lolth had already started making a late-night snack in the kitchen of the torture tower, it was the perfect time for the two girls to confirm the status of the Lady of Light and Janine Irene.

So, after sharing a knowing glance, the two girls began to sneak toward the room where the Lady of Light was.

Kanor also had a plan for how Dorothy should face the Lady of Light and Janine Irene.

"Sister Dorothy, when we meet the Lady of Light and that Paladin, I will pretend to welcome them… As for you, you can use your advantage of having met them before coming to Hillenbrand Town to negotiate with them."

"In this competition, compared to Sisters Tina and Isabella, you have a hidden advantage: they look down on you… Maybe we can continue to hold our advantage with the two at The Church of Light."

After hearing this, Dorothy nodded.

"How about we each play a role—one as the good person, and one as the bad person?"

Kanor also agreed with Dorothy’s words.

"Okay, let’s do it the way Sister Dorothy suggested."

So, on their way, the two little girls quickly made a simple plan for communication.

Since both of them were very familiar with the inside of the torture tower, a few minutes later, the two little girls arrived in front of the "Interrogation Room for the Church of Light."

Without hesitation, Kanor and Dorothy gently pushed the door open, walked inside, and went straight to the bedroom after passing through the church.

The Lady of Light and Janine Irene, who were lost in thought looking out the window, heard the sound of the door opening and turned around.

What the two saw were two somewhat familiar faces.

One was of course the girl named Kanor, the disciple of the succubus they had seen not long ago.

And the other…

"Dorothy Diana? You really are here!"

"Have you really joined the demon race? How interesting…"

Janine Irene and the Lady of Light looked a bit surprised.

The two quickly realized what was happening and managed to wipe the expressions on their faces, which were still lost in the prosperous scene of Hillenbrand Town.

They then positioned themselves in the best state to negotiate with Dorothy.

Hearing the words of the Lady of Light and Janine Irene, Dorothy adjusted her emotional state and put herself back in the position she had during the Golden Peacock days when she dealt and conversed with the ministers and Superoperators.

A hint of a scornful, confident smile appeared on her face.

Although she hadn’t used this expression for a while, showing a "superior" posture during negotiations and conversations sometimes worked wonders.

So Dorothy didn’t miss this trick either.

"Oh, isn’t that the ‘Lady of Light’ and the ‘Captain of the Oracles Knight Order’?" Dorothy said lightly, mentioning their "titles" with a hint of sarcasm, "What a rare sight! I thought the big shots from The Church of Light hiding in the back wouldn’t get ‘captured’… What a pity! Could it be that you have been ‘betrayed’ by someone as well?"

Dorothy paused for a moment, stepped forward, and then spoke.

"But you seem to be having an even worse time than I am, because I… have become a disciple of ‘Teacher Lolth,’ you know? I wonder what status you are here with?"

As Dorothy said this, her acting was vivid and exceptionally skillful.

Although staying in Hillenbrand Town was indeed a "blessing in disguise" and a significant one at that, Dorothy had no resentment towards the fact that she, in a sense, sold her ‘Lady of Light’ and Janine Irene.

After all, if anyone were to be blamed, it should mainly fall on Aunt Maria.

However, logically speaking, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for Dorothy to hold a grudge against the two of them.

Her motive was quite clear.

After she finished speaking, Kanor also stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Two ‘imprisoned’ young ladies, I don’t care what Master Lolth told you, but please recognize your identity."

"Master Lolth has a kind heart, and there are some things she cannot say directly… so I am here to inform you."

"Do not do anything that breaks the ‘rules’ in Hillenbrand Town—otherwise, with your identity, it will end badly."

"Of course, you can also choose to ignore what I say as the playful words of an eight-year-old."

"However, I kindly remind you both… the reason you fainted is because you ate what I gave you."

"So, even though it might sound like I’m bragging… it’s better if you don’t treat me like an ordinary child, okay?"
