Volume 1 Chapter 645

Chapter 645: Haha, Caught Again!

Hearing the other person’s explanation, Lolth was a bit speechless.

What was said made sense, and she couldn’t argue against it.

Who opens the door without wanting to do business?

However, Lolth wasn’t really in the mood to discuss her pricing with the other person; she could afford it anyway.

She just wanted to taste the food.

Thinking this, she took out ten copper coins from her pocket.

"Please give me a pie! Thank you!"

Saying this, Lolth sat down in a chair.

Then she began watching how the woman at the pie shop worked.

The woman didn’t hide anything from her; she didn’t keep the pie recipe or the making process a secret.

After hearing Lolth’s words, the woman began to knead the dough and prepare the filling.

Then she took a piece of dough and rolled it out flat with a simple rolling pin, filled it with meat, and pressed it down tightly.

Next, she placed the pastry on a metal tray and put it in the oven.

The whole process was very ordinary, almost the same as how the cooks in Hillenbrand Town made pies.

Rather, it seemed… that pies could only be made this way.

However, as Lolth watched this scene, she felt a certain "rule" flowing through her fingertips.

Some indescribable, metaphysical thing blended into the dough and meat filling.

She was slightly moved.

The other person was clearly an ordinary fellow without any extraordinary power, not a trace of magic…

But why did the other person seem to…

Act as if they were performing some kind of special spell, mixing a powerful Magic Potion!

Even though there was no magic inside that pie — the whole process did not involve any magic or extraordinary fields.

Yet it was more extraordinary than any spell!

Lolth had figured out where the "deliciousness" of the pie that amazed her came from, but this also raised more questions.

What on earth… was happening?

Lolth was slightly stunned, feeling the "pie" in the oven gradually taking shape.

She even wanted to describe that pie as a "great masterpiece."

"Isn’t it magical?"

The girl named "A Qiu," who was holding a fire stick, finished her task of adding wood and let the woman control the fire herself.

So, she also sat beside Lolth.

"That’s just… amazing."

Lolth said softly, looking at the other girl.

Then, she froze.

Her previous attention was focused on the "pie," which made her overlook something very important.

The girl A Qiu in front of her was a… Superoperator.

And very powerful.

Her presence was so subtle that Lolth could not see her rank at all.

Although it was not the realm of the gods,…

It was still very close.

"Who are you!"

She couldn’t help but speak in surprise.

The girl pouted, seeming a bit displeased.

"I was going to ask you who you are—suddenly coming to my territory, I should be the one asking, right!"

As she said this, she flicked the stick she was holding.

"Abyssal Succubus—my lady, you are not the Chief Interrogator, are you?"

As she said this, Lolth fell silent for a moment and pointed to the robe she was wearing.

She was still wearing the bishop’s robe of The Church of Light.

"Hello, you are mistaken. I am a bishop of The Church of Light."

"Deceiving yourself is not fun… Last time you pretended to be a member of The Church of Light in the Seychelles," the girl A Qiu said with a teasing look, "I was tricked then, but this time I won’t be fooled."

"Last time you felt my presence," Lolth said, surprised, "Who exactly are you?"

As she said this, A Qiu showed a playful smile and slightly stuck out her tongue.

"I won’t tell you—try to guess!"

As she spoke, Lolth was silent for a moment.

Then, she sighed as well.

"Okay, it’s actually not hard to guess."

"The Republic of Seychelles is stronger than me, using long weapons…"

"You are the Sword Master who protects the nation, right?"

The smile on the girl A Qiu’s face disappeared.

Then, she became a little troubled.

"Ah—damn it!"

"If the others from Seychelles had helped a little, I wouldn’t have been so easily guessed!"

She sighed and reached out her hand towards Lolth.

"Well, I am the damned ‘Sword Master’… Hello."

Lolth gently took her hand.

"Hello, I am the dreaded Chief Interrogator."

After shaking hands, the two fell into a long silence.

"Should we have a fight?"

The girl A Qiu, or rather the Sword Master of the Republic of Seychelles, asked tentatively.

"I came here to eat pie today."

After thinking, Lolth gave her answer.

A Qiu let out a long sigh.

"Phew— that’s good!"

"If we fight inside the store and break something, they will deduct my pay!"

"Even if I go out to fight with you, I still have to count it as being absent from work!"

A Qiu said this and cautiously looked at the woman.

"Aunt Anno is always so fierce…"

"Who are you calling aunt? Call me sister."

The woman named Anno turned around and said calmly.

"Besides, A Qiu… you don’t even know who is older or younger between us."

"Understood, Sister Anno!"

A Qiu quickly changed her words and said.

"Anno…"

Lolth also felt strange.

She looked at A Qiu, the national Sword Master of the Republic of Seychelles, a figure who had almost shattered the old man Gandhi Alter and made Duke Heidegger wary, showing a puzzled expression.

"So, why are you working in this pie shop…?"

"What is so special about this pie shop?"

She carefully chose her words to ask, and A Qiu shrugged.

"Special? The pies are really delicious—aren’t you here for that too?"

"As for the strange qualities of this ‘pie’ you mentioned, I can only say… I don’t know."

"Maybe you should ask a real god; she might have the answers you seek."

"Or why don’t you ask the maker yourself?"

She answered like that, and the woman called Aunt Anno opened the stove and took out a pie.

Then, she placed it on a tray and walked over.

The steaming pie was placed in front of Lolth.

Even though she heard the conversation between Lolth and A Qiu, she knew their identities.

She did not seem surprised by this.

"You are from the Demon Army… the interrogator, right?"

As she said this, Lolth nodded.

"Ah… yes."

For some reason, she felt a bit uneasy.

Anno smiled.

"If you want to know my secret pie recipe, I can tell you."

"But… I also have something to ask you."

Hearing the other person’s words, Lolth thought for a moment and nodded.

"You ask!"

The woman named Anno also sat down and took off her oven mitts.

"I heard a rumor that the Demon Army captured the leader of the Ryman Empire Northman Knight Order, Isabella Annalu Teberd Zu Schwarzwald, right?"

"I want to know… how is she doing?"

"That is my daughter."
