Chapter 565: The Roast Duck at the Endless Banquet With Kululu and Director Lolth From Eden Palace

Lolth had a long dream.

In her dream, it seemed as if she was in a never-ending banquet.

The long banquet table stretched from the mainland all the way to the sea, passing through fresh grassy fields, valleys, crossing cold snowy lands, and going through desolate deserts, finally resting on the rocks by the seaside.

Each part of the table had different and delicious foods, and the guests came to this bountiful land, enjoying enough tasty food and experiencing the happiest moments of their lives before they left.

They drank, sang, and played instruments, praising their generosity and wonderful cooking.

Guests did not eat all the time, but there were always guests eating.

Whether they were tall giants or beautiful fairies, whether they were groups of humans or solitary beasts…

The long table was always lit with pink candle flames, softly illuminating the food.

Lolth could feel that with just a thought, she could create the food and drinks she desired.

Even without trying to control it, the dishes at the feast would always perfectly match the menu, presenting each guest with the flavors they longed for the most.

Even the utensils were very elegant and appropriate.

Several guests would leave in tears after finishing their meals, likely reminded of the beautiful moments that the food represented.

Lolth sat at the head of the table, gently watching them.

She felt like she was both at the head of the table and above it, looking down at the entire long table.

Every detail of each dish was clearly in her sight, and the richness of each drink was visible.

She could clearly sense every enticing aroma and the steaming heat.

It felt as if this long table was an extension of her, her kingdom.

No…

It was not so.

The long table could not fully describe everything that Lolth had; it was just a part, or a vessel.

What she possessed was all the food and drinks on the long table, all the cutlery and chairs, even every candle with its light, the lovely scents, the sounds of clinking glasses, and the joy and emotions of the guests!

Even those guests who sat briefly at the table!

What Lolth had was the very "endless banquet" itself!

Sometimes she would eat some food, but for some reason, those delicious dishes did not touch Lolth’s heart.

Clearly… she loved to eat.

Perhaps these dishes did not suit her taste?

Lolth thought, gently shaking the bell on the table.

"I want to eat roasted duck."

She thought this and quietly spoke the words.

The next moment, a waiter appeared pushing a cart.

On the cart was a large tray covered with a silver platter.

"Creak, creak."

The waiter pushed the cart and arrived in front of Lolth.

"Your ordered roasted duck."

The waiter said softly.

Lolth nodded slightly.

After Lolth made this gesture, the waiter gently lifted the cover off the tray.

As the steam disappeared, lying on the tray was a…

Small, petite girl with beautiful pink hair.

She was almost completely naked in the center of the tray, wearing a clearly fake duck beak, with a few feathers stuck to her arms.

"Hello, are you going to eat me?"

She blinked and said.

Lolth looked at the "duck" on the plate, silent for five seconds.

Then, she sighed.

"Something feels wrong."

The waiter then asked, his voice filled with a hint of hope.

"What’s wrong?"

"Your duck has no slices, and there are no pancakes, no green onions, and no sweet sauce. Am I supposed to eat it like this? How boring…"

Lolth shook her head and said.

The waiter and the duck exchanged a glance.

"Your sister is silly."

The duck said angrily.

"She is indeed quite silly."

The waiter exclaimed.

Lolth looked at the two of them, and the holy, gentle expression on her face disappeared.

She rolled her eyes.

"Sister Xiletor… and this… it should be Kululu, right?"

"You two are idiots, making such a mess."

Lolth looked at the two of them, holding her forehead and leaning back.

"Do you know how much effort we put in to awaken your sub-god nature?" Waiter Xiletor took off her hat and pulled up a chair to sit down. "Your dream world… is harder to enter than hell. If I hadn’t left a part of my consciousness… I really wouldn’t have been able to get in."

"Ah, so you’re not Xiletor No 2 now?"

Lolth looked at her sister’s fresh outfit, showing a surprised expression.

"Of course, otherwise would I make you another Kululu?" Xiletor pulled Kululu by the shoulders out of the plate. Kululu shook herself, and her feathers and duck beak disappeared. "But how did you recognize her?"

"Yeah, I should have made sure you never saw her."

Kululu curiously asked.

Lolth looked at Kululu with a look of disbelief.

"But you silly thing live just below the torture tower, I can still recognize your scent."

As she said this, Kululu tapped her head.

"Oh, I completely forgot about that…"

Lolth made a face, then she turned to Xiletor.

"So… what is this leftover divinity about?"

She asked softly and seriously.

"Who knows," Xiletor spread her hands, "you can’t really think you’re seventeen… my silly sister, have you ever seen a succubus sister that is three thousand years apart? Our mom hasn’t come out of the abyss for the last thousand years… even the pregnancy of the succubus queen isn’t that long…"

Lolth was stunned.

"Ah… so I’m at least a thousand years old?"

She remembered complaining about two hundred-year-old Tina.

So… the old lady is actually me?

At the same time, she couldn’t even dare to think about Isabella, the young lady in her twenties whom she had dealt with…

Just thinking about it made her want to shoot herself.

But Lolth quickly adjusted her standards…

After all, the succubus reaches adulthood…

The succubus becomes an adult at… twenty-four years old…

"It’s still no good! I am connected! At least I’m an ultimate old bull dating a young flower!"

Lolth crouched down on the ground, holding her head in pain.

Kululu looked at Lolth like this and then glanced at Xiletor, her face expressionless.

"Your silly sister still doesn’t realize the most important question is why she doesn’t have memories from the past thousand years."

Xiletor spread her hands.

"You know she’s been optimistic since she was little… she doesn’t even care about this issue at all."

Upon hearing their conversation, Lolth finally jumped up from the ground.

"Wait, wait, wait, I am concerned," Lolth heard the conversation between the two, lifted her head from the ground, stood up, and had a serious expression on her face. "What exactly happened?"

Kululu and Xiletor looked at Lolth and then exchanged a smile.

"Hehe, I won’t tell you."

"Guess! If you guess right, I will tell you."

Lolth looked at the silly expressions on their faces, and a wave of frustration surged within her.

"If I guess right, what’s the point of you telling me anything?!"

She said, frustration and anger evident in her voice.

Lolth usually had very good manners.

Growing up in the succubus territory, only Xiletor could make her lose control of her emotions to this extent.

After starting work at the Demon Army, as a master of slacking off, only Kululu, who was even better at it than her, could make Lolth lose her composure.

To her surprise, these two people turned out to be a perfect match.

The sister who bullied you as a child and your high-pressure coworker were actually a pair of super close friends and annoying partners.

To be honest, just seeing them standing together filled Lolth with an intense anger.

Right now, she felt like grabbing two pig’s feet to hit them both.

Just as Lolth had that thought, Kululu and Xiletor’s expressions changed simultaneously.

"I’m copying!"

"What is that!"

Kululu’s figure became transparent while, after intertwining her hands, a four-colored halo appeared around Xiletor.

After this…

Two enormous pig’s feet appeared from the sky.

One passed through Kululu’s shadow, and the other was blocked by Xiletor’s halo.

"Bang!"

The entire guildmaster’s table began to shake slightly.

"Don’t think about food!"

Xiletor shouted this, and Lolth quickly put a stop to her thoughts.

Watching the fragrant pig’s feet slowly disappear, along with the breathless Kululu and the helpless Xiletor, Lolth felt a bit confused.

"So what is this really…?"

"This is the Divine Kingdom left over from the divinity that remains in your heart," Xiletor explained.

Lolth thought for a moment and showed a puzzled expression.

"So… I was a god a thousand years ago?"

As she said this, Xiletor shrugged.

"Not exactly, to be honest, I only found out recently," Xiletor glanced at Kululu, the little girl with pink hair stuck out her tongue, "but this is not the time for you to know these things."

"After you finish dealing with the mess of The Church of Light and Golden Peacock, come back to the tavern in Hillenbrand Town; I will be waiting there to tell you everything you need to know."

As Kululu said this, she picked up a shiny golden apple from the table and took a big bite.

"But for now… what you need to do is wake up and work with your little apprentice to turn The Church of Light upside down and kick that useless fool Maria Diana out."

"Although I really dislike Maria Diana, is she really that important?"

Lolth asked this, and Xiletor started to feel a bit uncomfortable.

"You will know… sister," Xiletor showed a rare shy expression, "In some ways, she is even more important than an evil god."

Xiletor lowered her head and then licked her lips.

"Anyway, thank you for now."

"Thank me for what?"

Lolth was even more confused.

Then, it seemed she realized something and was about to say something to Xiletor…

But…

"Ha—"

The dream ended in that moment.

Lolth woke up.

Before her eyes was a beautiful, golden ceiling painted with religious angel murals.

Dorothy’s surprised voice rang out.

"Teacher Lolth… You are awake—You have been sleeping for three days and four nights!"

As she said this, Lolth rubbed her head and sat up.

"That really is… quite a long time."

She felt a headache like a hangover, heavy and fuzzy.

Looking at the lively and spirited Dorothy, who was still wearing her pastor’s robe, she gently rubbed the little girl’s head.

"You’ve worked hard, Dorothy… How is your body? Is everything alright?"

"I’m fine, teacher. Sister Patricia successfully convinced the people from the Heretic Tribunal, and then took me and the teacher to the Holy Capital of the Church of Light by carriage… Now, Sister Patricia is outside investigating the Wizard Association’s matters…"

Dorothy said slowly.

"I see, she has really worked hard. As long as you’re okay, that’s what matters."

Then, Lolth was stunned.

"Holy Capital?!"

Her voice rose by an octave, filled with disbelief.

Lolth looked around and finally realized what was wrong.

The power of the Holy Light here was more intense than she could have imagined.

"So this is… Eden Palace?"

She asked in disbelief.

"That’s right," Dorothy nodded, "I feel like I’m recovering faster here."

Lolth opened her mouth.

This wasn’t just about recovering quickly.

But in the end, she didn’t say anything.

"Alright… recovering quickly is a good thing…"

At least it seemed like she hadn’t been discovered.

If she was discovered, she couldn’t lie here safely.

When she woke up, she might find herself hanging in the Truth Annulus, ready to be executed or burned; either was possible.

"But it’s strange… why hasn’t my disguise been revealed even in the Holy Capital?"

"Even Patricia hasn’t been discovered!"

Lolth felt very confused.

The level of detection in the Holy Capital and the skills of the hidden masters here were not something the rest of the Holy Lieto Empire could compare to!

"Although it annoys me that you look down on my disguise, I can’t argue directly," a voice came from the door. Lolth looked over and saw Patricia returning with a bag of fruit. "To be honest, I was revealed on the first day, and you are the only one who hasn’t been discovered…"

As Patricia said this, she walked over to Lolth’s bed and took out a banana infused with a faint power of Holy Light and handed it to Lolth.

"Eat this; the holy banana I bring you is a comfort gift… At least you woke up."

"So what is the situation now?" Lolth took the banana and showed a curious look. "What have I been mistaken for?"

"You are seen as the Director of the Heretic Tribunal, who has revealed herself for the first time in many years. As soon as I entered the Holy Capital, someone from a faction of the Heretic Tribunal secretly assisted me and brought me to Eden Palace," Patricia said, spreading her hands. "They are harder to fool than those members of the Heretic Tribunal sent from outside, but they still believed I am your loyal friend and piece placed in the Wizard Association outside the Church—praise the God of Light."

Patricia drew a clumsy Holy Light annulus.

"In any case, with their help, we can still act in the identities of Hume and Nai…"

"By chance, the princess you are to teach is also in the Holy Capital."
