Chapter 554: Don’t Let Me Catch You, Spicy

Where the "next stop" was remained a mystery for Lolth.

Perhaps the true director of the Heretic Tribunal knew where the next stop was, but Lolth really did not know.

She did not even know where the Fourth Princess of the Holy Lieto Empire was.

However, based on common sense, she should be in the Imperial Capital of the Holy Lieto Empire.

After all, she was a princess…

Even if she had her own territory, at such a critical moment of succession, she must return to the Imperial Capital.

Otherwise, how could she compete!

The Heretic Tribunal would definitely not choose a princess who had no intention of fighting for succession as their supported candidate.

And going to the Imperial Capital meant for Lolth…

The risks had increased many times without her noticing.

The good news was that within the Holy Empire, the Imperial Capital, aside from the Papal State Holy Capital Saga, was the most important city, and it was also the administrative center and the location of the palace of the Holy Lieto Empire, so it surely had the qualified bright Holy Spring.

But there would definitely also be high-level Privy Bishops present there.

Thinking about this made Lolth feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh dear… the level of disguise needs to be raised again."

She just felt that things were getting more and more complicated.

She had avoided the war in South Sotua on the western front, but she could not escape the changes in The Church of Light and the Holy Lieto Empire…

As for helping Patricia find someone from the Wizard Association… Lolth did not think it was too much trouble.

Anyway, no matter how chaotic the Wizard Association was, it would not affect her.

The entire continent had only the Seven Kingdoms, which were even farther east than the Cloud City where the Wizard Association was located.

As long as Dorothy was healed in time, she would have a chance to teleport directly back to Hillenbrand Town.

With this thought, Lolth felt a little more at ease.

After leaving the room with Dorothy and taking the silver mask as a keepsake, Lolth returned to Giloviev Church.

The church was still remote and peaceful, but Lolth found it hard to look at it.

Thinking that this place was the "base" of the Heretic Tribunal, and it might even be set up by that Lord Director himself, made Lolth uncomfortable all over.

"Damn it, I hope he doesn’t catch me… If I catch that guy, I’ll show him what ‘judgment’ means, what Holy Light means!"

Lolth said with anger and discomfort.

But Lolth did not know…

The director of the Heretic Tribunal had, in a way, already fallen into her hands…

They were just still in the stage of stubborn resistance.

Of course, it was not the Director of the Heretic Tribunal himself carrying the burden…

But the "Judgment Holy Light" inside his body.

Now, the "Judgment Holy Light," taking the form of an angel, was in Hillenbrand Town, chasing a turtle that had turned into a human shape… or rather, revealing its true form.

Even though it had changed its appearance and made a cool entrance, once the turtle started to run, everyone present recognized her.

The familiar feeling remained.

"Oh no, don’t chase me!"

"What about that huge scepter over there—you’re not interested in the Abyss’ will, but you’re chasing a simple fisherman like me?"

"Mila! How could you! Are you going to eat my whole family or what!"

The girl dressed as a captain shouted loudly while awkwardly escaping, and Isabella silently watched this scene, which was clearly from a demi-god level but suddenly turned into a farce, and looked at Tina.

"Kanor’s pet is actually quite strong," she remarked.

"So it’s a pet," Tina showed a surprised expression, "I thought it was some sort of food reserve…"

"No, a talking food reserve is too creepy… Do you really eat something that can talk?"

Isabella looked at Tina and asked.

Tina turned around and looked at Isabella with confusion.

"Ah? But the Elven recipe includes ‘Whispering Herbs,’ which can talk to us… Every year during the Wood Elf festival, everyone eats a lot of Whispering Herbs…"

Tina said seriously.

"First we talk, then we eat… This is an old tradition among us Elves."

To prevent Isabella from misunderstanding, Tina added one more thing.

Isabella looked at Tina with a shocked expression.

Then, she sighed with some resignation.

"Indeed, the impression that you Elves are all ‘loving and kind’ is a very wrong stereotype…"

Although these beings do prefer to eat plants, it seems that in some cases, their plant-eating is much more cruel than eating meat.

Isabella thought that usually, humans don’t eat talking creatures!

Even if they did eat… at least they wouldn’t talk to them before eating!

Qiong looked at Isabella, wanting to say something but hesitating.

She really wanted to make a joke…

Even if it’s a "pet," it shouldn’t be able to talk!

But considering that the girl in front of her came from a noble family, Qiong finally kept her thoughts to herself.

"Speaking of which, what is this broken ghost ship used for?"

Qiong chose to change the subject in the end.

Hearing Qiong’s question, Isabella and Tina also looked up, staring at the abandoned ship that the turtle had left behind. It was worn-out but looked really cool, and they fell into deep thought.

"I don’t know, maybe it’s for posing?"

"To be honest, I thought this might be her secret weapon or something… but throwing it away so decisively probably means it’s not, right?"

As the girls were chatting, they gradually noticed something.

That is, this turtle… seems to be hiding its true abilities.

Even though it has been jumping around, shouting loudly, and running away in panic, it appears as if it cannot compete with the ‘Judgment Holy Light’ at all.

But…

The angelic figure formed by the ‘Judgment Holy Light’ has been chasing this creature for a solid five or six minutes.

She is still running away, looking so "clumsy" yet full of energy.

In fact, the distance she maintained from the ‘Judgment Holy Light’ at the very beginning is exactly the same.

Compared to fleeing, this feels more like delaying, consuming, and…

Testing.

Even the Lady of Light noticed this.

"There are really many extraordinary people in this town that I’ve never seen before…"

She squinted her eyes.

As the Lady of Light, she understood better than others the terrifying power of the ‘Judgment Holy Light,’ which represents part of the will of the Divine Kingdom.

Because of this… even though she didn’t know this girl who was like a captain, she could fully understand the "horrifying" nature of this person.

She was definitely not as harmless as this silly pose she was putting on now!

Hillenbrand Town hides such a character… and I hadn’t even noticed it all this time!

The Lady of Light was even a bit curious about where such a character usually hid.
