Chapter 379: The Demon Army Treasure Hunter
The next morning, Lolth packed her things and prepared to head to the United Kingdom of South Sotua.
After all, the Lord of the Demon King has already said, "I look forward to your surprise." Doyle and the Demon King are both ready to "pretend," so Lolth really had no way to explain anything further.
She had a feeling that no matter how much she explained, it would only make things worse.
After thinking all night, Lolth understood!
In fact, it might not be such a bad thing.
Anyway, if she didn’t go to the United Kingdom of South Sotua, the Lord of the Demon King would send a legion, most likely Achilles and Shelldor, to push forward on the west front.
Their goal would still be to give her "half-plane exploration rights as a reward."
At that point, whether in the mainland plane or with the Holy Alliance’s hatred, or even within the Demon Army, there’s no doubt that her reputation would rise significantly.
Her attention, which was almost lost, could soar to new heights and achieve great results.
And as attention increases, it means more trouble.
Especially since the Lady of Light has just arrived in Hillenbrand Town, if she happens to attract her guardian, the pope… then the pope may not be as easy to talk to as Duke Heidegger and Froer the Grand Priestess.
Furthermore, the half-plane itself represents a "trouble".
Whether it is the various forces coveting the half-plane, or the monsters and ancient relics inside it, everything is extremely troublesome for Lolth.
If possible, it’s better to avoid any contact.
Therefore, she decided to go personally and find a way to interfere with the exploration of the ancient ruins in the half-plane.
It would be best to shut down the plane channel and find a way to ensure it doesn’t appear again for a thousand years.
At the very least, she wanted to delay its natural closure, then take some useless items inside, and tell the Demon King, "I have tried my best, but this ruin is truly poor and broken," to avoid gaining credit while also completely dispelling the Demon King’s idea of granting her the right to explore the half-plane.
Lolth deeply understood one saying.
That is, "Trouble also represents opportunity!"
"Alright, this time, no matter what, I have to make the Lord of the Demon King think I am useless. At least I need to create an image of someone who is completely unskilled at exploring a half-plane!"
Lolth said this, her energy suddenly rising.
If the plan works, all the "achievements" I have accidentally gathered in the past six months and the "misunderstanding" with the Demon King can be completely resolved!
By continuously convincing herself, Lolth gradually eased the pain in her heart about being forced to go on a business trip.
Next, she needed to inform Tina and Isabella that she would be going far away again soon.
Although there was no need to say much about Hillenbrand Town anymore, the two girls, one in charge of domestic affairs and the other of security, could manage everything very well.
However, now there were two new variables from The Church of Light. Although the Lady of Light was temporarily misled by her, what if someone from The Church of Light showed up while she was not there…
One part of her worried that The Church of Light would destroy Hillenbrand Town, and "purify" all the townspeople and those "traitors" who now worked for her after being captured.
On the other hand, she was even more concerned that if no strong reinforcements from The Church of Light arrived and they took a sneaky approach, Tina and Isabella, in their quick thinking, might discover them and bravely defeat them. Together with the Superoperator from Hillenbrand Town, they could capture all the rescue team from The Church of Light…
When I came back and took a look, wow, there were more members of the Church of Light!
The Lord of the Demon King watched as people from the Church of Light were captured even while she was not at home, and she felt so happy that it made her forget about her mistakes during the half-plane exploration.
Wouldn’t that mean all her effort was for nothing, and now she had even more captives to deal with!
Such a thing absolutely must not happen.
So, Lolth also thought of a very good plan for this.
That is to tell the two of them, "If there’s an emergency, just go to the landlady."
Due to her inability to see through the landlady, Lolth could confirm that Kanor, her foster mother, definitely had great power.
As long as the Pope didn’t come, the landlady should be able to handle the Church of Light or any other powerful figures she expected.
Besides, ever since their last conversation, the landlady seemed very friendly to her.
Not only because she is Kanor’s teacher, but also because…
The landlady probably knows her cheap old mom.
When she heard the last name "Sokabus," her attitude clearly changed greatly.
It seems that although her mom’s way of doing things is different from the traditional succubus style, she was probably quite remarkable in the abyss back in the day.
Both the landlady and the Demon King treat her with respect.
In a certain way, relying on the landlady should be dependable.
However, because she sensed that something had gone wrong between her mom and the other party, she did not want to directly ask the landlady for help.
So Lolth thought for a moment and decided to use her relationship with Kanor, which she had hardly ever used.
Carrying a paper bag from Old Harper, Lolth went to the kitchen.
Sure enough, this hardworking little girl had already started experimenting with extraordinary dishes in the kitchen.
"Wow… Kanor, you’re up very early."
When Kanor saw Lolth, she was not surprised at all.
"Good morning, Master Lolth."
Then, she looked at Lolth’s appearance. Although Lolth had nothing but a paper bag and her clothes had not changed, Kanor still thought for a moment and figured it out.
"Are you going on a long trip, Master Lolth?"
Lolth was very shocked.
"How did you know?"
After a little thought, Kanor gave her answer.
"I don’t know, maybe it’s because you, Master Lolth, have such a strong feeling that you’re going far away…"
Lolth was once again amazed by her apprentice’s extraordinary abilities.
"So that’s how it is. Anyway, I really have to go on a long journey… Hmm, to deal with the Lord of the Demon King, I must travel to the United Kingdom of South Sotua disguised as a mercenary and explore ancient ruins…"
Lolth sighed and spoke.
"So, please let your mother know, Kanor, that if while I’m away, Hillenbrand Town encounters a strong enemy that Isabella and Tina can’t handle, she should help drive them away… Of course, just drive them away."
After that, Kanor immediately responded.
"I understand, Master Lolth, I will let her know."
After receiving her apprentice’s answer, Lolth nodded.
"Okay… then I will set off now."
Lolth said this, not noticing Kanor in the kitchen, who had a thoughtful expression.
"South Sotua… ancient ruins…"
Kanor whispered, as if she remembered something.
