Chapter 97: Welcome to Hillenbrand Town!

"Where did you get this Token from?"

Faced with Tina’s question, Rayleigh and Mora were momentarily unsure of how to handle this fallen Elf Princess.

However, in the end, the two people exchanged a glance and decided to tell the truth.

"Lady Isabella got it from a succubus named Lolth for us."

As Rayleigh said this, Tina looked at them, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Oh, you… have met Master Lolth?"

Saying this, she took a step forward, moving closer to Rayleigh and Mora.

Then, looking at Rayleigh, she smiled and asked.

"So, did Master Lolth say anything to you? Please tell me everything truthfully… It’s best not to lie about Master Lolth to me, okay?"

Tina calmly spoke to the two.

Rayleigh, who was tied up, fell into silence.

But Mora next started to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Is this still the adorable and pure Moon Elf princess Tina?

And why did she call that succubus "master"?

Mora didn’t dare think too much about it.

"I will tell you the truth."

Mora sighed and said, "But honestly, there is not much to say – we just encountered her in the wild, and after a brief meeting, we were subdued… Then she found out about our backgrounds, didn’t kill us, and even invited us to eat something…"

"It seems like Master Lolth quite likes you guys."

Upon hearing Mora’s words and confirming that he was not lying, Tina nodded gently, feeling quite happy in her heart.

At least she didn’t have to really hurt her own people.

Even though Tina was loyal to Master Lolth, she felt she couldn’t bring herself to harm her own kind.

"After eating, Isabella and the succubus named Lolth went into a tent. Later, Isabella came out and gave us a Token, telling us we could leave."

After Mora finished speaking, Rayleigh picked up where he left off and finally sighed before speaking.

"I thought Isabella saved us, but now it seems like everything was part of the succubus’s plan."

He understood why he encountered the succubus in the wilderness and why he got the Token, as well as why Tina appeared here.

All of this was definitely not a coincidence.

In front of a powerful succubus, any coincidences were surely carefully designed plots!

Tina’s attitude confirmed this.

"Of course, Isabella is just a plaything of Master Lolth, how could she actually ‘save’ you from Master Lolth," Tina said dreamily, "everything is part of Master Lolth’s plan… you all coming here is all part of Master Lolth’s scheme!"

"Darn it, what does that succubus want to do!"

At that moment, the last member of the team, a dwarf warrior who was also a blacksmith, couldn’t help but curse.

"Elves, dwarves, humans… Maybe Master Lolth just wants to expand her collection of toys," Tina chuckled, then looked at the Token in her hand, "But since she passed the Token to you through Isabella, it must be a reminder for me…"

Tina fell into deep thought.

The people of Hillenbrand Town behind her finally understood the situation and started whispering among themselves.

"Are these guys… not enemies?"

"Didn’t Master Tina say that these people have Master Lolth’s Token on them?"

"So they’re not here to oppose Master Lolth?"

"They’ve all consumed things from Master Lolth, how could they be so ungrateful!"

"Yes, everyone, let’s put down what we’re holding and maybe we’ll all be neighbors in the future!"

"Hmm… now that there’s plenty of food in town, we can afford to take care of these creatures, but what use are they?"

"Superoperator must always be useful… besides, Master Lolth must have her reasons!"

Listening to these words, Tina suddenly felt bright.

Yes – there’s already plenty of food, and Master Lolth has always said that the development of the Southern New Development Zone is not just about agriculture!

She said, this time going out was to "get things needed for the next construction project".

Perhaps, for the next construction project, more than just building materials will be needed?

Thinking this way, Tina suddenly felt enlightened.

"So that’s what Master Lolth meant!"

Tina smiled and looked at the eighty-six people, saying cheerfully.

This will really confuse Rayleigh and the others.

"What exactly does this mean?"

He couldn’t help but ask.

Tina didn’t directly answer him, she turned and walked towards the south of the town, saying, "Follow me now."

The group of defeated soldiers looked at each other, not daring to resist her, and could only follow behind Tina.

They had just witnessed how powerful the Epic High Level spellcasters were.

In just a moment, they had defeated the strongest member of their team, Rayleigh Collin, with no chance to fight back!

Even though the people following her had no magical energy, they all carried weapons enchanted at level seven or eight!

Tina didn’t even need to lift a finger. She just needed to cast the same spell again to make them lose their ability to move and resist, then let those scary shovels and axes take care of them, and her group would probably be done for.

Besides, the old man with scruffy beard standing behind Tina seemed like a more important character as well.

Soon, everyone crossed the southern part of Hillenbrand Town together. The old man took out a big, white horn and explained to curious onlookers on both sides of the road.

"Residents, no need to worry. There are no invaders. Everything is arranged by the lord. Please return to your posts and homes, and carry on with your tasks!"

They arrived at the southern part of Hillenbrand Town amid the sound of the horn.

Later, these eighty-six people saw a scene that astonished them greatly.

Fields, pastures, and forests were filled with magic formations in operation. Many newly constructed buildings seemed to emit terrifying magical energy.

"So this is the Wizard Association’s headquarters and the magical capital, Cloud City. It’s just as impressive as the legends say!"

The elf Mora said in amazement.

Rayleigh, who stayed in Cloud City for two years, was even more surprised than he was.

He felt extremely shocked!

"No – even in Cloud City, there are no magic arrays irrigating farmland, with every brick enchanted!"

Uncle Maider, holding a horn, somehow smiled upon hearing this.

"Welcome to Hillenbrand Town!"

He said so cheerfully.

"Wrong, Maider…"

Tina, who had stopped in her tracks, shook her head and turned to look at the eighty-six people, her face also showing a faint smile.

"Yes, welcome to join Hillenbrand Town!"
