Chapter 77: The Landlady’s Recommendation

Isabella has been having a rough time recently.

Not only were the deceived residents distancing themselves from her, but ever since Qiong arrived, Isabella couldn’t sleep soundly at night, feeling anxious.

Afraid that one day Lolth might steal the information from her mind.

Or… one day she might realize the information has already been stolen!

This pressure made the very honorable Isabella very anxious.

In reality, she knew that eating so much every day was hardly helping the residents at all, just a drop in the bucket!

More is just a form of self-comfort.

After all, binge-eating and drinking is actually a way many people relieve stress and anxiety.

Today’s sudden visit from Lolth made Isabella very nervous.

She was very worried that Lolth would sit down, start scanning her soul, and evilly say, "Thanks for the information, now the Holy Alliance is done for," before leaving, leaving herself feeling regretful and eating crispy chicken and barbecue rice here.

However, when Lolth saw the neatly packed iron lunch boxes on Isabella’s table, she couldn’t help but twitch in the corner of her eye.

This knight is indeed gaining quite the appetite…

Even though she’s strong, eating a hundred kilometers worth of food seems like a lot.

She planned to bring her along, looks like they’ll need to prepare more food…

Nevertheless, there really isn’t a better choice.

After all, the stronger people in the town are busy building houses and farms on the construction site. The capable Maider recommended Tina.

"Isabella, hand over your work tomorrow, get ready to leave the town for a few days."

When Isabella heard this, she tensed up all over.

"Are you going to interrogate me in secret?"

"Yes, to avoid exposing myself in front of the residents, tormenting me definitely can’t be done in the town…"

Lolth, who had accumulated rich experience in interacting with Tina, glanced at Isabella’s expression, sensing the fluctuation of her soul, and roughly knew that she must have misunderstood again.

"Why has this knight been getting better and better at imagining messy things lately…"

Complaining in her heart, Lolth quickly interrupted Isabella’s mental activities.

"I’m going to purchase some building materials in a few big cities, need a few helpers, so get prepared in advance."

She said this, to stop Isabella from thinking too much and to not disturb the lazy knight eating, she quickly left.

"I will inform you before we depart!"

After saying this, Lolth left Ryman’s interrogation room.

Leaving Isabella staring blankly at her crispy chicken bibimbap in her hands.

"She… wants to take me to the big city in the west to buy materials?"

No, it’s definitely not that simple…

"I understand… Is this to demonstrate to those cities surrendering and captured nobles?"

"If even I have submitted and fallen, it will indeed be a heavy blow to them…"

"Moreover, those nobles from the Republic of Seychelles might even mock and humiliate me…"

"Maybe they want to use this opportunity to make everyone in the continent think I’ve fallen from grace, so I won’t have a chance to prove my innocence again."

Isabella felt a pang of sadness after eating her last bite of food.

"This succubus is truly wicked…"

However, she couldn’t do anything about it.

She could only quietly wait for everything to unfold.

She dared not imagine the scene if the news really spread back to the Ryman Empire.

"I hope… there will be a turning point in this situation."

Isabella thought silently to herself as she picked up a new box of rice mixed with grilled meat.

While Isabella was seeking comfort in eating to relieve the pressure, Lolth had already left the torture tower and headed towards Hillenbrand Town.

Bringing only one Isabella is definitely not enough.

And it’s very embarrassing!

Lolth decided to take a stroll in the town and see if there were other suitable candidates.

Also, to have a midnight snack at the tavern.

Isabella ate so deliciously just now that Lolth herself is feeling hungry.

Upon entering the town, Hillenbrand Town in the evening was much livelier than before. Many residents returning from the south saw Lolth and warmly greeted her.

"Master Lolth, come take a walk in the town!"

"Have you eaten, Lord?"

"The dinner tonight is delicious, Lord, would you like to try it?"

"Good evening, Master Lolth – you look very beautiful today!"

After spending more than a week together, the residents had already discovered that this Demon Race Lord was not as evil and cruel as the nobles said, but rather very kind and friendly.

Generous, benevolent to the people, cooks delicious food, and is very approachable!

Being an Abyssal Demon doesn’t matter at all!

This is much better than those noble lords.

Lolth responded to the kindness of these people with a nod and a smile, acknowledging everyone.

Soon, she arrived at the front of the small tavern, pushed open the door, and walked in.

Maider didn’t come today, so there were only Ann and the landlady in the tavern.

"Oh, landlady… Ann, good evening."

Lolth greeted the two people.

"Oh, isn’t this our lord coming," the landlady sitting behind the bar as usual saw Lolth’s arrival, stood up, "Why, are you finally planning to have a drink today?"

"No no, I don’t drink, I came today to taste the landlady’s skills," Lolth already guessed that the landlady must have recognized her long ago, smiled and said, "Just give me some special snacks!"

"Even if you say casual, I dare not deceive our lord," the landlady smiled, "After all… our lord’s cooking is quite good."

"Oh no, it’s just luck."

Modestly, Lolth said, the landlady quickly made her a special mushroom soup from the Republic of Seychelles, placed it in front of Lolth.

"These days, Kanor has taken care of you… consider this bowl as my treat."

The landlady said.

"Oh no, it’s mainly Jessica, Meisha and the others watching her," Lolth waved her hand, tasted a spoonful of soup, "Mmm… it tastes really good!"

She put down the bowl, looked at the landlady, and thought she seemed quite friendly, so she tentatively asked.

"I plan to go to a few big cities in the next few days to buy some building materials and such. I need a few assistants. Does the landlady know anyone in this town who would be suitable for these jobs?"

Upon hearing Lolth’s words, the landlady showed a thoughtful expression.

"Let me think…"

Then, she smiled.

"Oh, I actually have some quite suitable candidates in mind."
