Volume 1 Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Hi, I Am Lolth, Nice to Meet You

After several maddening busy signals, the Resonance Crystal communication to Hillenbrand Town finally connected.

Tina’s blurry and shaky image appeared, looking somewhat distorted.

She saw Lolth’s call and seemed a bit nervous; her voice came through.

"Lolth, my master… What happened?"

When Lolth heard Tina’s voice, she started to feel nervous for some reason.

After all, she immediately thought of the time Tina saw her awkward love talk.

The truth she had been escaping from while being in the half-plane suddenly appeared in front of Lolth.

However, she didn’t know why Tina looked so nervous.

"Nothing happened, just ask Old Harper to come here!"

Lolth was not ready to face Tina yet, so she quickly got to the point.

"Old Harper? Okay, my master Lolth!"

Hearing Lolth’s instructions, Tina seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and hurried over to the other side.

After a few minutes,

Old Harper, looking confused, appeared.

"My lord, why did you call me?"

"I was eating in the cafeteria when I was brought here!"

Lolth glanced at Luge, and upon hearing Old Harper’s strong voice, joy appeared on Luke’s face.

"Harper, you’re still alive!"

The loud warrior woman shouted.

On the other end of the communication, hearing his former captain’s voice, Old Harper also shouted in surprise.

"Captain Luge, you’re still alive too!"

Saying that, both of them laughed out loud together, and then spoke in unison.

"What kind of talk is this!"

Lolth watched the scene and found it quite interesting.

Is this how the South Sotua people greet each other?

Then, Luge calmed down and continued speaking.

"I heard that the town you are in was taken over by the Abyssal Demon. I thought you must be having a really hard time…"

She said with a bit of emotion.

"No, my lord, even though she is an Abyssal Demon, it is completely different from what the Holy Alliance says," Old Harper said seriously, "Since her arrival, everyone’s lives have gotten better!"

Listening to Old Harper’s heartfelt words, Luge hesitated for a moment.

"You aren’t brainwashed or under some kind of suggestion, are you?"

Luge asked this, and Old Harper shook his head.

"I don’t think so, Captain Luge!"

Hearing Old Harper say this, Luge felt a little more at ease.

After all, Old Harper’s voice and words sounded joyful, but not overly excited.

And also, just looking at his condition, he seemed to be doing well, not just mentally.

He looked healthy and rosy, which probably meant he was living quite well.

Old Harper looked at Luge.

After Luge finished asking, it was his turn to ask questions.

"But, Captain Luge… why did you run back to the half-plane?"

"After the old leader and the vice leader were forced to step down, didn’t everyone agree not to go to the half-plane ruins anymore?"

"I still remember you were the most determined then!"

"To be honest, when I heard you were going to the half-plane, my first thought was that you were in great danger… That’s why I asked Lord for help."

Old Harper said this, and Luge looked embarrassed.

"Well… how should I put it…"

"Because this time, they offered too much!"

The warrior woman said shyly, showing a warm smile.

"Alright… with Lord’s help, it should be fine."

Old Harper looked at Luge and sighed helplessly.

"Ah, speaking of this, my lord, how are you now?"

Hearing Old Harper’s words, Lolth showed a helpless expression.

"I’m doing okay…"

She looked at Tina, who had disappeared from the scene, thought for a moment, and decided to ask a tentative question.

"Speaking of which, has Tina and Isabella been acting strange lately…?"

"Like, after seeing some strange crystal’s image, their emotions seem a bit unstable?"

Lolth felt she should understand what was happening with the two girls before returning to Hillenbrand Town.

So she could prepare herself mentally as well.

Old Harper’s answer was completely beyond Lolth’s expectations.

"Huh? You mean the image of you saying sweet words to a translucent little girl in front of the lord?"

Old Harper’s words hit Lolth like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

It was chilling to the bone.

"How do you know about this too?!"

In that moment, she completely forgot that her purpose was to find out how Tina and Isabella would react.

How could even Old Harper know about this?

Could it be that someone else saw the image?

Or did Isabella or Tina tell someone else about it?

Lolth could no longer imagine.

But the truth is…

Things were even worse than her worst imagination.

Old Harper heard Lolth’s words and replied to her with an even more confused and innocent tone.

"Oh, what? Because everyone already knows?"

Hearing the word "everyone," Lolth felt a tingle in her hands and feet.

"Everyone? Does everyone mean…?"

"I guess all the people in Hillenbrand Town, or more accurately, about ninety percent of them, some who weren’t there didn’t see," Old Harper said cheerfully, unaware that Lolth’s tone had subtly changed, "Hey, Your Lordship, you don’t know, do you? The first batch of prototype machines from the factory is ready, including the projector!"

"When you sent the crystal over, all the people in Hillenbrand Town watched that film on the square with the projector!"

"Speaking of which… My Lord, who is that woman?"

The words of Old Harper came one after another.

But he could not wait for Lolth’s reply any longer.

"Smack!"

The communication was cut off, leaving only the busy signal of beeping.

Old Harper scratched his head in confusion.

"So sudden… Is the half-plane signal not good?"

"Kanor, Dorothy, and Ann haven’t reported about finding My Lord yet!"

"Ah, never mind, anyway My Lord will see them soon!"

Old Harper said this and stopped worrying.

Knowing that Captain Luge safely met Lord Lolth, he finally relaxed.

And on the other side…

Lolth’s heart was completely in her throat!

She cut off the communication, holding the Resonance Crystal, her face pale, and beads of sweat flowed down her forehead like a flood.

She could not stay in this main plane for even a second!

Hillenbrand Town was absolutely off-limits!

Since this was only a half-plane… why not just end the trial and escape to the alternate plane?
