Chapter 65: Unexpected Visitor!
Lolth knows very well that her Space Magic Array is difficult to crack through "violence" due to its intricate and interconnected nature.
Although individual magic arrays are not strong and have simple functions, when connected in a circle, they are as powerful as bundled chopsticks.
If an ordinary spellcaster were to unravel it, Lolth wouldn’t be too worried.
However, being able to break it open through forceful means is at least a legendary starting blow.
From the feedback she received before the magic array shattered, Lolth was well aware that the effect was not something an ordinary legend could achieve.
It’s definitely at the level of Legend Upper Level!
Even…
It is the level of strength above legends, unknown to the world!
However, it is unlikely!
Such strong individuals of that level would not personally come to a small town like this to dismantle their own magic arrays.
So, after feeling nervous, Lolth hesitated and gave up on the idea of running away.
Regardless, she decided to take a look at who the visitor was before fleeing.
After seeing, it wouldn’t be too late to run.
With this in mind, Lolth cleared her throat, took out the large horn again.
"Alright, friends, after eating and drinking your fill, hurry back home! I have something to do. Everyone, eat well, drink well, rest well, the first batch of job positions will start recruiting tomorrow!"
Lolth said this and then used magic to make the people in the square disappear.
It’s not that she was keeping secrets from the residents on purpose, but telling unarmed civilians without the ability to fight back would only cause unnecessary panic.
Plus, Lolth thought for a moment and realized that the ones who could come after her now were definitely from the Holy Alliance.
The demon race in the entire Hillenbrand Town is just her alone, even if intimidating figures like the Emperor of The Church of Light, Grand Marshal Ryman, Chief Sword Master Seychelles, an elf priest, or the Dwarf King with a Divine Artifact were to come, she could just run away and they would have no target left.
Turning it around, the residents of Hillenbrand Town have been liberated, so what do they have to worry about!
After realizing this, Lolth decided not to bother notifying the people of Hillenbrand.
Using a short-distance teleportation, Lolth quickly arrived not far from the destroyed magic array.
The destroyed magic array, the one closest to the torture tower, is located on the other side of the gentle slope to the northeast.
It’s clear that the other party came specifically for the torture tower!
Lolth became more alert and started looking for the culprit.
Obviously, the attack had a clear element of intimidation. When Lolth arrived at the scene, the dust raised by the attack had not completely settled.
Not only was the magic array destroyed, but also a deep pit appeared on the previously smooth ground.
In the center of that pit, amidst the slowly settling dust, Lolth saw a faint red light.
Using Magic Perception, she sensed that the other party seemed to have activated a spell barrier as well.
But…
Why does the magic in this spell barrier feel so much like abyss magic, filled with an evil and chaotic aura?
Upon closer inspection, Lolth realized that the person inside the barrier was also familiar, like a demon.
Lolth vaguely felt that this might be a misunderstanding.
It seems like I don’t really need to run away myself…
As the smoke cleared, what appeared in Lolth’s vision was a small, round, reddish semi-transparent magical barrier shield.
In the middle of the shield, there was indeed a familiar figure from the abyss.
Doyle Candice.
The other person also saw Lolth’s figure.
The two of them stared at each other, feeling a bit awkward.
"Um… Your Excellency Lolthlinda, I’ve come to deliver a message to the Demon King."
After a moment, Doyle spoke first.
Upon hearing this, Lolth also reacted, saying, "Ah, I see!"
Doyle Candice flapped her little wings, feeling a bit embarrassed as she rubbed her hands together, and continued, "Um, I got trapped by a magic spell as soon as I arrived here, so I thought I was under attack and reacted instinctively…"
Doyle Candice glanced guiltily at Lolth.
But when Lolth saw it was her, she also felt a bit guilty.
"Um, these Space Magic Arrays were set up by me, well, you know, there are still remnants of the Holy Alliance in the western front that haven’t been cleared up yet…"
Lolth also vaguely replied.
"I see, I see," Doyle nodded vigorously, "But, how did Lord Lolth create such intricate and powerful Space Magic Arrays?"
"They were generated by an ancient magic device that I dug out from the ruins."
Lolth immediately responded with great skill.
"Ah, that’s it," Doyle Candice exclaimed with a sudden realization, "It’s the same magic device that you used when renovating the Interrogation Department, right!"
"Yes, that’s it. So Her Excellency Doyle doesn’t need to worry too much. I’ll just use my magic device to fix the magic array, no big loss," Lolth also smiled, then looked at Doyle and casually asked, "But, just now I felt… um, at least a strike at the legend level. How did Her Excellency Doyle manage to do that?"
You see, this Little Devil Doyle should be at the Superlative Level, right!
Even if using secret techniques that burn the soul and life force, it’s impossible to unleash a strike with the power of the Legend Upper Level!
"Ah, it’s the Demon King who is worried about my safety, granting me a scroll that can unleash an attack spell and shield comparable to the legendary tier," Doyle said, as the red magic barrier on her body disappeared, revealing her innocent smile, "I got too nervous and accidentally used it!"
"Oh, I see! Haha! Her Excellency Doyle is really favored by the Demon King!"
Lolth replied like this, exchanged a glance with Doyle Candice, and both of them burst into laughter!
"Oh no, it’s Lord Lolth who is, the Demon King really cares about you!"
The two exchanged pleasantries in a business-like manner and chuckled, then Lolth changed the subject.
"Speaking of the Demon King… is there something specific that brings Her Excellency Doyle here this time?"
Lolth said that, and Doyle nodded, raising a magic bag filled with space magic.
"Of course, Master Lolth! This time, I have great news for you!"
"That’s wonderful," Lolth knew that even though Doyle was a playful little devil, she wouldn’t lie about something like this, "Her Excellency Doyle, shall we go to the torture tower for a chat together?"
Lolth made a gesture of invitation as she spoke.
Doyle had no reason to refuse, she nodded and followed Lolth towards the torture tower.
However, as they left, Lolth didn’t notice.
At the hole blasted open by Doyle Candice’s Space Magic Array, a figure quietly sneaked in!
