Volume 1 Chapter 455
by post_apiChapter 455: Is This What Happens When the Palace Catches Fire?
However, inside the White Sand Palace, Lolth, who was anxiously waiting for the "result," didn’t have the mood to think about any conspiracies.
To be honest, even if those guys’ schemes were right in front of her, Lolth didn’t think they were very important.
The unfashionable love talk she just said to the girl’s shadow was sent to some acquaintance she didn’t even know!
Isn’t this just like an Otherworld version of "a virtual streamer getting caught writing a heartfelt essay by family or online friends"?
It’s exactly the same.
If she had known this was part of the plan, she would have interrupted that Autonomous Guard’s spatial technique no matter what!
So, at this moment, Lolth felt very uneasy.
But soon, she felt the spatial disturbance again.
Magic essence and crystal dust streamed from the gap in space and entered the puppet’s body.
Then, the self-disciplined puppet made a sound again.
Two voices came from the middle.
They were both voices that Lolth knew very well.
"You’re right, Lolthlinda, I give you one hundred and fifty points."
"Even though it feels a bit strange, since it’s what Lolth’s master said, it’s full marks."
The voices of the two girls came through.
For a moment, Lolth didn’t know whether to be grateful that it wasn’t her mom’s voice or to protest why she had to deal with a team score.
And to be honest, even though it wasn’t her mom…
But for Lolth, things had not gotten any better.
Because the voices of the two girls showed that something was not quite right.
Isabella’s voice was quite calm, with a hint of teasing.
Tina’s voice was still as eager as ever, filled with raw emotions.
To be honest, this was the most usual tone and tone of voice between the two.
It seemed to lack any real emotion.
But in this situation, the calmer Lolth felt, the bigger the problem seemed!
She did not know that her footage had been misunderstood as a provocation by Tina and Isabella because of Kululu’s embellishments, instigation, and selective revelations.
So, Isabella and Tina’s pretense of calmness was just to avoid showing their anxious side in front of their rivals, thus maintaining their "grace."
But Lolth couldn’t understand this.
She only felt that the two people were calmly a bit scary.
This is definitely not how Isabella and Tina would react…
After all, that content was just her talking to a virtual woman about unfashionable love!
It is understandable that the two could be furious and deeply sad…
But what is this calm response after seeing something very ordinary?
It’s not like it was an unusual video…
Isabella and Tina would definitely be shocked.
But their calm reaction in the face of shock—could it be because the impact was so great that they didn’t know how to respond?
Or is she already sharpening her knife against herself?
Lolth felt a bit afraid to think deeply.
The four girls around looked at Lolth’s expression and felt a bit of sympathy.
Especially Qiong, who provided some information.
"The first voice is Isabella, I recognize it."
She whispered, feeling quite surprised.
The last time she saw Isabella, she still had some doubts about this succubus.
So much so that when she heard rumors that Isabella might even have a relationship with the succubus, she scoffed.
She never expected there was really such closeness.
From Lolth’s nervous look… even Isabella’s generosity was beyond her expectations.
And…
If the first one is from Isabella, then the second one is probably from Tina.
That clear and sweet silver voice, mixed with a slightly elf-like accent… the elf who is close to this succubus must be someone else!
Calling someone "master" really is quite a big deal!
"This must be what people call a harem on fire… but that title for the lady is quite amusing."
Lalea exclaimed in surprise.
"Can we really call this a harem?" Yi said curiously, "They both seem completely unbothered."
"But look, someone seems to be a bit nervous about this."
Lalea looked at Lolth’s forehead and nose, which were covered in tiny beads of sweat, and gently smiled as she spoke.
Even Julie, who usually kept quiet about everyone else’s matters, nodded and showed a thoughtful expression.
"I think… the relationship between the three of them is not that simple."
Even if the tone seemed calm, everyone could still feel a hint of aggression from the words themselves.
Lolth raised her hands as she listened to everyone’s discussion.
"Please spare me, at least stop discussing… Can you let me avoid this until I get back to Hillenbrand Town?"
As Lolth said this, everyone stopped giving her a hard time.
However, what Lolth didn’t know was that her unfashionable love talk was commented on by two people…
But the audience was actually all of Hillenbrand Town.
If she knew this, she would definitely find an alternate plane to escape overnight, leaving the main plane forever, to start anew in some corner of the four great elements, the undead, or another alternate plane.
Even because Kululu is also in Hillenbrand Town and witnessed the video, Abyss Lolth will not go back.
Fortunately… Lolth really does not know yet.
At that moment, the silver Autonomous Guard puppet also spoke up.
"’Skill Trial’ is over… moving on to the next trial!"
"Please everyone look forward to the ‘Courage Trial’!"
Upon hearing this, Lolth couldn’t help but scoff.
"Huh—? I thought this was the Courage Trial already!"
That earlier moment truly scared her quite a bit.
However, the silver puppet, or rather the soul named "Five Colors" that controls this trial in the palace, did not respond to her.
The ground trembled again.
Everyone became alert.
After all, last time, the floor suddenly opened, and everyone fell through!
Considering that everyone entered this palace through a hole in the ceiling…
After falling a third time, it was hard not to be cautious.
This time, even Lolth and Lalea were confident they could adjust their positions to land more steadily.
And unexpectedly for everyone…
As the shaking of the ground grew louder.
In the end, a loud rumbling sound came, but what opened was a wall behind everyone!
Everyone turned to look at the source of the noise, realizing that after the wall opened, they were thinking about whether to walk over.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the entire floor tilted and launched upwards!
"I can’t believe this—"
"What is this? Are there different tricks?"
Amid the screams of Lalea and Lolth, the floor acted like a catapult, throwing everyone standing into the darkness beyond the opened wall.
