Chapter 44: Avenging Master Lolth
“Oh my goodness, look, the tower of the Interrogation Department is gone!”
“What’s happening, was this place attacked?”
“Quick, go inform the Demon King!”
“Our interrogator must be safe!”
“Ro-se-big-man-”
“Damn it, it must be those darn Holy Alliance, let’s go seek revenge on them!”
“Cursed humans! Cursed elves! Cursed Orcs!”
After a huge spatial fluctuation settled down, many demon race members at the Demon King Castle were astonished to find that half of the Torture Tower where the Interrogation Department was located had disappeared.
Because Abyssal Demons rarely practiced spatial magic, teleportation arrays were considered unnecessary for most demon race members who could navigate day or night equally well. In the chaotic magical environment of the abyss, lack of expertise in teleportation magic among the more straightforward demon race members led many to believe that the recently esteemed interrogator had been killed!
Suddenly, all the demon race members were stirred up, groups of fierce-looking demons set aside their tasks to express their feelings. Especially the Balrogs, trolls, and spirits who were also favored by Lolth and were preparing to move, dropped what they were holding and started wailing, crying out in grief, pounding their chests and stamping their feet, determined to retrieve the esteemed interrogator or seek revenge for them.
Luckily, the Demon Tower noticed the spatial disturbance early and identified it as the work of Lolth herself. So, when Doyle Candice sensed something was wrong, she quickly used the city-wide communication system of Demon Tower to make an announcement.
“A message to all fellow demon race members: The spatial disturbance at Torture Tower just now was due to the activation of the Teleportation Magic Circle for the relocation of Torture Tower to its new site in the West. Interrogator Lolth Linda Falk Socabus is safe and sound, having arrived at her domain, Hillenbrand Town. Please do not spread rumors, do not believe rumors, and stay calm.”
After Doyle’s voice was heard, the crying and screaming demon race members realized their rash behavior and embarrassment, stopping their actions.
They coughed slightly at each other, then began to cover up and make excuses.
“I knew Master Lolth would be fine!”
“Master Lolth Linda actually used the Teleportation Magic Circle to move the Interrogation Department. She truly deserves praise! She effortlessly did what we couldn’t do!”
“She must have used some kind of magic…Really well hidden!”
“Once we get to the West, we must visit Master Lolth’s domain…What was it called again?”
“Hillenbrand Town—don’t underestimate it. It is said to hold unknown secrets and was entrusted to Lord Lolth by the Demon King to guard!”
“Yes, our legion leader Zakavido said that Demon King herself told him about the town, it’s not simple!”
“Could it be hiding powerful beings from other races or humans?”
“That means Master Lolth will have new captives to interrogate, and we will have new accurate information too!”
“Choosing a fief for the greater good, truly setting a good example for us!”
“Learning from Master Lolth!”
“Yes, this kind of spirit is truly worth learning for all Abyssal Demon!”
The Abyssal Demons all started speaking.
Though it was being diplomatic, the admiration and respect for Lolth in their words were genuine and heartfelt!
Many demon races who had shallow knowledge about Lolth before, also gained a better understanding with the help of those who “knew the inside story”.
Because of this unique way of moving, Lolth once again became the center of discussion within the Demon Army, and as a result, her reputation and prestige slightly rose once more!
Of course, Lolth herself, who had already been moved away, is completely unaware of this.
If she knew that her lazy choice had caused such a stir again, she would surely regret it.
However, now she is sitting in the secret control room of the torture tower, looking at the display screen made up of countless magic crystals on the control panel in the main control room after all the magic arrays had been activated.
“It looks like the transfer has been completed… Show the current coordinates!”
Lolth then manipulated the control panel, causing the magic crystals to light up and gather into the shape of a map.
Finally, the flashing light indicated Lolth’s current location.
“We have reached our destination, Hillenbrand Town, with a deviation of less than three hundred meters, and all magic arrays are functioning normally!”
“Yay, we’ve landed safely.”
Lolth took a deep breath, closed all the magic circles, opened the door to the secret room, and walked out.
The entrance to the secret room was located in a corner of the rooftop pasture of the tower. After opening the door, one could directly arrive at the rooftop pasture.
Climbing the watchtower by the side of the pasture, looking at the clear blue sky with no obstruction, white clouds floating in the sky, smoke rising from the nearby town with red-tiled white walls, and without any smell of sulfur and abyss in the air, Lolth couldn’t help but feel relieved.
“This feels great!”
