Chapter 96: It Was Indeed Master Tina
When Tina heard reports from the townspeople about a group of strangers from the Holy Alliance, she felt a slight shock.
"Are there really remnants of the Holy Alliance…"
The construction in the Southern New Development Zone is almost complete. Besides selecting and training staff for the agricultural center, most facilities like farms, ranches, breeding grounds, and fishponds are already operational.
So now Tina’s daily work is quite easy.
Along with Uncle Maider, hired by her for twenty copper coins a day, and the Hillenbrand Town residents who volunteered to be "temporary municipal officials," all gradually settled into the leisurely pace of life Lolth longed for.
They were so relaxed that they could only slack off every day!
Even the residents who had taken on partial projects in each area found that with the help of automatic irrigation, feeding, temperature control magic arrays, and convenient new farming tools, they didn’t need to work too hard each day after completing their training.
Everyone once again praised Master Lolth’s generosity.
Even though they didn’t do much, they owned a large part of the agricultural products they produced!
Moreover, planting the new crops on Master Lolth’s land, according to what Master Tina said, would increase the harvest several times over!
Not only was there no more famine, but they also had surplus food to sell or exchange!
The residents of Hillenbrand Town gradually understood Lolth’s far-sighted vision in building the "agricultural market."
So when news of the "Holy Alliance" appearing outside the town reached the Southern New Development Zone, most people started taking action on their own before Tina could give any instructions.
"What? The Holy Alliance?"
"I know, it’s the alliance formed by those nobles who oppose Master Lolth!"
"They constantly smear Master Lolth and the demon race!"
"Yes, they even dare to use protecting us from the demon race as an excuse to collect taxes from us…"
"I think they’re just protecting their own interests!"
"Let’s grab our tools and show them who’s boss!"
"Exactly, some people have already seen them, but there were only around seventy to eighty individuals, and they all seemed like vagrants!"
"Even if it’s the Superoperator and noble lords, we still have Master Tina on our side!"
With everyone talking at the same time, Tina stopped her not-so-urgent work and made a decision.
"Hmm… Since Master Lolth handed Hillenbrand Town to me, I will take good care of it for her!"
"Are the townspeople really so loyal to Master Lolth? She truly deserves the title of Master Lolth!"
"Then… let’s go check the north side of the town!"
After making this decision, Tina left the temporary City Hall on the third floor of the farmer’s market.
"Let’s go see what the deserters from the Holy Alliance are up to!"
Tina spoke to the crowd gathering below, and everyone started cheering.
"Yes! Master Tina!"
"For Hillenbrand!"
A group of around seventy to eighty people marched towards the north of Hillenbrand Town in a grand procession.
Later, at the edge of the town, two groups of people met!
From a distance of several tens of meters, Tina looked at the eleven elves in the diverse group, feeling a rare ripple in her heart.
However, she quickly suppressed the turmoil within her!
The residents of Hillenbrand Town stood behind her, also not paying much attention to the condition of the other group.
After all, this group, which had been on the run for over a month, did indeed look very disheveled!
However, on Rayleigh Collin’s side of the group, as they watched the residents pouring out of Hillenbrand Town, everyone was continuously shocked.
"Captain, it seems these residents really have a lot of hostility towards us, they seem very aggressive!"
"Yeah… and they are carrying hoes, shovels, axes… should we fight back against them?"
"It looks like we’ll have to subdue them first!"
But as the team approached, Rayleigh Collin and the members who were prepared to quickly subdue these seemingly hostile human civilians, gradually found it hard to smile.
"Are they holding enchanted farming tools?"
"It seems like it… and the enchantment level is not low…"
"This is really bad!"
Apart from the enchanted weapons, an even worse situation was yet to come.
Leading this group of humans was a beautiful silver-haired girl, who appeared to be an elf.
Furthermore, she was a very powerful elf spellcaster.
Mora and the other elves immediately recognized the identity of this girl.
"Lady Tina Leinster Newmoon…"
"It’s the Princess of the Moon Elves!"
"She didn’t get captured? Could she have escaped as well?"
"Master Tina doesn’t have anti-magic shackles on her!"
"Wait, why does she also have such a strong hostility towards us?"
"Could it be that Master Tina has also fallen…"
"No, from the looks of it, she’s definitely fallen deeper than Her Excellency Isabella!"
The dwarves and humans realized the identity of this young girl, as their elven teammates transitioned from surprise to sorrow in their emotions and words.
The Princess and priest of the Moon Elf clan, Tina Leinster Newmoon!
The powerful magician who is just a step away from being legendary.
She alone could easily defeat the unruly group of people in her team!
Rayleigh Collin felt a wave of weakness.
"What should I do…"
They thought there were no other demon creatures here, but they unexpectedly found an Elf Princess who had long been "captured."
After the incident with Isabella, looking at Tina’s obvious hostility, no one believed she had escaped the control of the demon creatures.
The current Tina can be considered a demon creature.
This time, after encountering Isabella, it was the elves’ turn to experience Rayleigh Collin’s pain.
"But Master Tina must have been manipulated by mental magic, perhaps… I can try to awaken Master Tina’s consciousness!"
In the moment of feeling hopeless to resist, Mora said this.
As a White Elf, he had met this Moon Elf Princess several times when she came to learn and play with the White Elf tribe’s Grand Priestess Froer.
Mora remembered the innocent girl and felt like she couldn’t have completely fallen.
Maybe… there is still hope!
While Mora was thinking this, Tina suddenly stared at Rayleigh Collin and spoke first.
"There seems to be some residual magic from Master Lolth on you!"
Saying this, before anyone could react, Tina burst out with a huge surge of magic.
"Rustle—"
Tiny sounds came from under Rayleigh’s feet as green vines broke through the ground, instantly growing thick and strong, wrapping him firmly in place.
At the end of the vine, a Token was pulled out from Rayleigh’s arms.
"Is this… a Token from the Interrogation Department?"
Tina looked at the design of the Token, sensing the presence of Lolth on it, and her expression softened slightly.
Because she knew, without a doubt, that this could not have been stolen or taken by this group from Master Lolth!
A turning point did indeed appear.
However, it was completely different from what Mora had expected.
