Chapter 66: Another Round of Making Up Intelligence!

In the reception room of the torture tower, Doyle sat on a chair made of abyssal fallen vines decorated with magical beast bones, placing the space magic bag solemnly on the table in front of her.

"So, let me get straight to the point, Lord Lolth," she opened the seal on her magic bag and nudged it towards Lolth sitting opposite her, "The Demon King sent me this time mainly to approve the funding for those new ‘torture facilities’ you had sent over before."

Lolth peeked inside and the whole magic bag was filled to the brim with top-grade Abyssal Crystals!

At first glance, she felt a bit dizzy!

But then, she started to feel extremely happy.

She originally thought the Demon King might cut down a bit as usual.

But now, looking at how her intentionally inflated numbers were actually being accepted!

Along with her happiness, Lolth even felt a bit regretful!

If she had known her ‘budget’ had increased, she would have been more daring when filling out the numbers!

She had planned to start construction work tomorrow, now it’s like someone handed her a pillow while she was dozing off!

"Yay, Her Excellency Doyle, thank you so much for coming," Lolth looked at Doyle with a much softer gaze, "Tonight you must stay and try the new dish I learned!"

When Doyle heard Lolth mention this, her face changed drastically.

"Never mind, Lord Lolth, I have other tasks to attend to, the Demon King gave me things to bring and instructions that are not just for you, she just instructed me to prioritize coming to Lord Lolth’s place," Doyle quickly found an excuse to politely decline Lolth’s invitation and immediately changed the topic, "Also, although the main purpose of my visit is to deliver funds to Master Lolth, there are other matters to inform Master Lolth about!"

As an Abyssal Demon, Lolth really couldn’t appreciate her cooking skills!

She didn’t even use ore in her cooking, the food was all soft-textured, bland in taste, and either warm or slightly cold, it was really hard to swallow!

As a member of the Little Devil clan, her taste buds were already considered mild in the Abyss, usually munching on death demon flowers, but Lolth’s food was just too awful!

However, Lolth somewhat knew that her cooking never suited the demon race’s taste buds, so upon hearing Doyle’s words, she simply nodded.

"Alright, what else did the Demon King instruct you about?"

Saying this, Lolth, Doyle reached into her magic bag and pulled out…

Two scrolls of parchment.

Seeing parchment made Lolth instinctively feel a bit of a headache.

And what Doyle said next confirmed her guess.

"This was confiscated by Lord Achilles while cleaning up a battlefield from a noble mansion in the Republic of Seychelles. It is written that the Holy Alliance is planning to launch a counterattack in about a month… and the main initiator seems to be the Ryman Empire."

"However, this letter does not specify the details of the counterattack plan!"

"Because Lord Lolth previously captured the leader of the Ryman Northman Knight Order, she has spent some time in the Interrogation Department. The Demon King thought maybe that little girl might know something," Doyle Candice said, handing over the parchment to Lolth, "So, please try to ask her if she knows anything—of course, it’s fine if she doesn’t."

When Lolth heard Doyle saying this, she couldn’t help but feel that the Demon King was really unreasonable!

After the collapse of the western front, the decisions of the Holy Alliance were all counting on getting some information from a prisoner they had caught earlier?

Indeed, the Demon King had too unrealistic expectations of her because of what happened before!

Indeed, every gift from fate not only carries a hidden price tag, but often comes with compounding interest that multiplies tenfold or even thirteenfold!

The special treatment I received before and the large sum of Abyssal Crystal in my hands now, all come with a cost!

The cost is – my laid-back life is seriously disrupted.

Without any actual job for two years, now another job came in less than a month?

Being lazy every day is already exhausting, how can I find time and energy to work for the Demon Army!

Hearing Doyle say "It’s okay if you can’t ask questions," Lolth sighed at the Demon King’s somewhat conscience but was about to decline the offer.

But then she suddenly realized…

If she refused this time, it would be normal for a person.

That would mean the Demon King’s reliance on the Interrogation Department would not diminish!

She needed to seize this opportunity to make the demon king realize the mistake of underestimating the "Interrogation Department". Acting slowly is not normal.

This would lead to losing the trust of the demon king once and for all.

Since they had enough funds to spend anyway, owning territory could provide a new source of income. So, for now, Lolth decided not to take the money.

With that thought in mind, Lolth took the parchment scroll from Doyle’s hand.

"Don’t worry, Her Excellency Doyle. Just wait for my good news," said Lolth confidently, "Isabella is completely under my control now!"

"Moreover, the Holy Alliance has not given up on her. Isabella has also received that letter!"

"So, I am sure I can get something out of her!"

As Lolth spoke confidently, Doyle nodded.

"Then I will await your good news-I will visit Her Excellency Shelldor, Majimaji, and Zakavido in their territories and should be back in about half a month… Master Lolth, do we have enough time before then?"

"That’s enough," Lolth waved her hand, "Actually, one week at most is enough! If everything goes quickly, maybe I can know the answer tonight!"

Mostly likely, I will have to make up some fake information, how long it takes will depend on when I can come up with a believable false report.

Lolth was very confident about this.

And Doyle Candice nodded, saying, "Indeed, Master Lolth… There is one last thing, but it wasn’t instructed by the Demon King – this afternoon, I met Lady Kululu outside the town, she asked me to tell Lord Lolth that she will arrive today – counting the time, she should already be in town."

As she said this, Doyle scratched her head sheepishly.

"I was originally going to come together, but Lady Kululu insisted on taking the main road, and even advised me to do the same. In order to save time, I didn’t take Lady Kululu’s suggestion, but now it seems Lady Kululu really plans ahead!"
