Chapter 564: Reasonable Guess – This Succubus Has a Mind-Depleting Aura

Inside the Holy Lieto Empire.

Patricia and Dorothy soon saw Lolth again after she disappeared.

Although Lolth caused quite a stir in Hillenbrand Town, even fighting the Holy Light angel, who represented the will of the Land of Light, and Naivee, the turtle girl representing the will of the Seven Seas…

This time was not long.

After all, the time Lolth first fought Kululu happened almost in the blink of an eye.

No time was counted.

For Patricia and Dorothy, they hadn’t even thought about their next move.

Even the high-ranking members of the Church of Light had just realized how serious the disturbance in New Dawn City was and hurried here.

Before the first cardinal and the powerful man arrived at Giloviev Church… or what was left of Giloviev Church, Lolth’s figure had already reappeared next to Patricia and Dorothy.

However…

She looked as if she had been thrown out of "nothingness."

Even Patricia and Dorothy faintly heard a voice of dislike.

"What a lazy pig!"

But that voice quickly vanished, and they almost doubted if it was just an illusion.

Looking at Lolth, who was sleeping deeply and even scratching her belly, Patricia and Dorothy exchanged a glance.

Clearly, neither of them could still understand what had happened.

Patricia tried very hard to figure out the situation; as a Great Sage, she was actually very smart.

But ever since Lolth turned into pink smoke and then reformed into a big sister that made her phantom limbs feel full of blood…

Things became hard to understand.

Wow! How did she defeat Maria Diana so quickly!

Wow! What is happening with that flame!

Wow! How did she just disappear!

How did the church get burned down like this?

But why were Patricia and Dorothy untouched?

What are these lingering powers in the air?

How did Maria Diana run away?

How did Lolth appear again?

Patricia thought hard but couldn’t understand.

The main reason is that she cannot see through it!

Whether it’s Lolth’s power or the mysterious being that makes her disappear and reappear, both are beyond Patricia’s understanding.

In the whole process of power surging, the only thing she could barely see through was Maria Diana, the demi-god.

So… this succubus and the power confronting her both stepped into God’s Domain.

"If only I were in the Holy Domain… or a demi-god, then I could understand."

Patricia sighed.

For the first time, she felt a strong urge to become stronger.

After ten years of studying magic, she had already reached the peak level in four types of magic, and her knowledge was enough to teach any advanced magic course and create several powerful spells…

The power level was also at the Legend High Level—this speed was much faster than Isabella and Janine Irene.

It was even faster than Yi and the legendary Sword Saint Seychelles!

Patricia was truly a unique magical genius; otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the youngest Great Sage in the history of the Wizard Association.

Entering the top council of Cloud City at the Legend High Level was truly one of a kind.

Of course, the condition was…

Not to compare with the succubus in front of her who was snoring.

Comparing her proud magical skills and extraordinary strength to the succubus’ was like comparing a professional fighter to an untrained baby.

It could even be said that just thinking of comparing herself to her was being quite foolish!

Dorothy heard Patricia’s words and looked at her.

The little girl’s eyes were filled with worry.

"You don’t know what happened to Teacher Lolth either?"

She asked softly.

Patricia shook her head but still tried to comfort Dorothy.

"At least she should…not be out of control anymore," Patricia said, cradling Green Sky Star Heaven in her arm, her hands struggling to lift Lolthlinda, "and we should be safer now."

The area around them had been burned completely, and there was nothing left to confront Lolth.

But Patricia was, after all, the Great Sage skilled in all four types of magic.

She gently tapped her toes on the ground, and a smooth platform rose up from the earth; she placed Lolth on top of it.

Dorothy leaned closer and gently touched Lolth’s face.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

"Aunt Maria… is very strong."

She whispered softly.

Her gaze and hands gently landed on Lolth’s face, like a kitten reaching out its wet tongue to lick milk.

Patricia looked at her and pouted.

"Silly girl, show your feelings when she wakes up."

As she said this, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Hey… wait, did you not lose your memory?"

"Did you remember?"

Although Dorothy did not show any signs of recovering her memory, Patricia felt that something was wrong.

When the little girl talked about Maria Diana, had conversations with herself, and looked at Lolth…

It was as if she had regained her memory.

Dorothy heard Patricia’s doubts, turned around, and gently shook her head.

"I only remember about one-third."

"About the bad parts of the past, at the Golden Peacock."

She spoke softly and then started to laugh.

"However, when I think about those memories, I no longer feel sad at all. I know… Teacher Lolth must have done a lot in those memories I haven’t recovered yet to help me move on."

Patricia looked at Dorothy and opened her mouth.

She originally wanted to correct the little girl; in the Golden Peacock part, it might not be one-third.

Because in terms of length, the part about Lolth is probably less than a year.

She has been at the Golden Peacock for fifteen years.

But…

Patricia suddenly understood before she could speak.

What the little girl was talking about was not about the length of her memories.

But rather…

The weight.

The memories of being with Lolth, even though they are only a year, feel heavier than those past memories she wanted to forget, which add up to over ten years.

"Yes, she has really done a lot."

Patricia shook her head and smiled.

On one hand, she was happy for Dorothy.

On the other hand…

"Damn, I am so jealous."

Patricia felt a bit sour deep inside.

She thought about her teacher… well, even though he was a good guy and very responsible while teaching her…

But before he passed away, he never cared about his student’s feelings!

After all, he was a very typical traditional scholar wizard, always locked away in the Mage Tower studying magic, hardly able to speak smoothly…

My teacher doesn’t even have any friends, so there’s no way for her to have a crush on a student!

Of course, considering she’s an old cranky lady, even if she wanted to, Patricia wouldn’t agree.

Even the Wizard Association might wrongly accuse the teacher of "copper smelting" and lock her up.

In the end…

"Why can’t my teacher be a gentle and caring succubus who is great at magic, can battle gods, and transform into a sexy big sister…"

Patricia bit into Green Sky Star Heaven, drooling with envy.

And just while the two girls were talking and Lolth was fast asleep…

The first cardinal in red robes arrived.

Patricia hurriedly hid Green Sky Star Heaven.

Now, she could still be Hume Valentina.

If the other person had really seen through her identity, it wouldn’t be too late to act.

Especially…

Coming to this cardinal was, in a sense, like being with "your own people."

The first to arrive, of course, was Cardinal Nora—this Heretic Tribunal’s secret agent.

After all, she was already the cardinal in New Dawn City.

Looking at Lolth lying there, feeling the lingering breaths in the air, and silently protecting Lolth was Dorothy…

Patricia watched Nora standing still, quickly blinking her eyes, as if she was thinking of something.

Only a little over ten seconds passed.

No one knew what thoughts Nora completed in those ten seconds.

However, as soon as Nora began to speak, Patricia could not hold back.

"Who pushed Lord Director to this point…? I can feel the lingering magic in the air… Is it someone from the Wizard Association?"

Nora’s face looked very pale.

The only person from the Wizard Association was standing right in front of her.

But considering that her purpose was to find the traitor in the Wizard Association, Patricia forced back a smile and nodded.

"That’s right, it is someone from the Wizard Association…"

"Then it must be the faction of the Sixth Prince," Nora said coldly, "I understand now, Bishop Hume… I will pass this on to the agency."

"Wait a minute," Patricia stopped Nora and then seriously added, "Besides the Wizard Association, there are also people from the Golden Peacock… and their regent queen Maria Diana is here in person!"

Patricia was secretly hoping for Maria to fail, so she didn’t mind blaming her.

Anyway… Maria really did come, and it would be easy to find out the truth.

Nora heard this and widened her eyes, clearly shocked.

But soon, she regained her calm.

"That makes sense. After all, it forced the Lord Director to give everything he had and push herself to the limit…"

She could even feel the Power of Judgment from the Lord Director that she couldn’t sense before!

What does this mean?

This means the Lord Director must have used a lot of Power of Judgment, and now, in her sleep, she couldn’t maintain her perfect disguise!

But Nora didn’t know…

Because Lolth didn’t have that thing before.

The Power of Judgment that she felt now was just recently given to her and still warm.

Just as Nora was sorting through the huge amount of information…

Several presence appeared behind her again.

A few people in gray robes appeared.

Patricia instantly became nervous.

The gray-robed people saw Nora and Patricia, then looked at Lolth lying behind them, and immediately showed a cautious stance.

"You… stay away from that bishop."

They said in a low voice, but Nora waved her hand.

"When the Holy Light shines the brightest, even the dimmer light can be mistaken for shadows."

He spoke softly, and the few gray-robed people were taken aback.

Then, they responded.

"Without discipline and the harsh treatment of heretics, we cannot show the greatness of mercy and forgiveness."

Then, they slightly bowed.

"Honorable Bishop Nora."

"Bishop Hume and I are both ‘Watchers’, and we have come for the director."

Nora explained this.

The gray-robed members from the Heretic Tribunal group bowed again in greeting.

"Understood."

"Clear the area and secure this place according to the rules. Tonight, the director is taking charge himself… This is a critical moment; we can’t let any information leak," Nora began to organize a few people. Then she glanced at Patricia and Dorothy. Seeing that these two "trusted allies of the director" had no objections, she continued, "Tonight’s attack is a collaboration between the Wizard Association and the Golden Peacock… The Regent Queen of the Golden Peacock is personally involved. We will pressure the Golden Peacock later. Next, we must closely monitor the movements of the Sixth Prince’s faction and the related bishops, waiting for further instructions from the director when he wakes up."

"Understood."

The gray-robed people responded in agreement and quickly dispersed.

Nora also set up a protective formation right where she stood.

"Your Excellency Hume, you need to take the director to the Holy Capital now. I will coordinate with the action team from the tribunal here and negotiate with the other attracted red bishops and Paladin leaders."

"As long as we say it’s the tribunal’s work, we can handle most things."

Bishop Nora said seriously.

"No problem, thank you for your hard work."

Watching Nora arrange everything, Patricia stifled a laugh and nodded seriously.

Then, she tried hard to lift Lolth and asked.

"By the way… is there any kind of transportation?"

"Hmm… that’s true, taking a carriage might be more discreet," Nora thought, "I remember Lord Director has a horse… this way, you can go to this address to find some spare carriages."

As Nora said this, she slipped a piece of paper into Patricia’s palm.

Then, Patricia, carrying Lolth and with Dorothy, slowly left the burned area.

After finding the horse nearby that hadn’t run too far and was nearly tamed by Lolth, Patricia finally couldn’t hold it in any longer.

"Wow—what is all this!"

All her plans, what to do if discovered, and how to trick and make up stories if undetected… not a single one was used!

This Nora and those guys from the Heretic Tribunal are ridiculous!

There is no doubt about it!

She looked at the sleeping Lolth and fell into thought.

Patricia even started to wonder if this succubus had some kind of ability that interfered with others’ thinking.

After all, she is a succubus… and it always feels like this is not the first time something like this has happened to her!

Meanwhile, the sleeping Lolth knew nothing of Patricia’s thoughts.

She lay on the horse’s back, smacking her lips.

There were still no signs of waking up.

And it seemed like she was dreaming of something nice.
