Miss Torturer just wants to fish

"It's hard to say...but I need to send someone to take a look."

"Are there any current spies who are competent?"

"Those who are sent out must be prepared to be abandoned..."

Such dialogues are constantly being staged in various towns and secret rooms in churches within the Holy Lito Empire.

The final result is...the powers accumulated in the dark by the bishops and nobles are all mobilized while restraining each other, and the targets of countless spies are all pointing to the New Western Front, and even...the town of Herland Bert!

231 Conspiracy and commission in the theater

The reaction of the Church of Light was actually more or less within Rose's expectations. After all, she had lost the artifact, and the Holy Maiden of Light and the Oracle Knights directly felt the power of the Holy Light—although I don't know how they felt, but Definitely won't let myself stop.

Regarding the incident of the Guangming Church, it will be suffered sooner or later, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it cannot be avoided.

But Rose was completely unprepared and unpredicted for the other two forces that responded more strongly.

In the Republic of Sig, Aberdovi, one of the three main cities, the "City of Freedom", fell into the night, and many new nobles and wealthy businessmen gathered in the "Brilliant Gilded" Grand Theater, enjoying the new-style music performed at night Watching the handsome actors with exquisite makeup praising "freedom and love" under the lights, sitting in booths or boxes, relaxing your body and mind.

However, in the luxury box on the top floor with the widest view and the most central location in the entire theater, the atmosphere is not relaxed, but rather tense.

The three middle-aged men were sitting on the soft sofa in the private room, with guards in front of them and behind them with epic and extraordinary fluctuations.

On the low table in front of you were fine wine and a delicate assortment of snacks, but no one had touched them.

And any Sig can recognize these three middle-aged men who don't seem to be outstanding in appearance.

Because they are all core members of the Sig Supreme Council!Can represent the pinnacle of power of the entire Sig Republic!

In this country known as the "Republic", only the other five members of the Supreme Council can compare with their energy.

As long as there are four supreme councilors together, even if it is the chairman of the parliament and the highest consul, they must listen to and even obey their opinions.

Standing behind every member of the parliament is a complex network of interests formed by many powerful associations, new noble families, and chambers of commerce controlled by old nobles who have gone underground.

When they sit together without arguing, it almost means that the upper echelons of the small half of the Sieg Republic have reached a certain consensus.

But these three high-ranking and powerful guys are waiting at this time.

Waiting for some other guys.

Soon, the door of the box was pushed open.

Walking into it were two weird-looking guys.

One of them is a young man in his 20s who is close to 30 years old, with messy dark brown hair, wearing a somewhat worn linen robe, holding a wooden stick in his hand, with a warm smile on his face, and two gray eyes. There are black geometric lines of different shades drawn under the eyes, like an optimistic and tattooed beggar.

"Good morning, gentlemen."

As he said this, he sat carelessly across from the three supreme councilors of the Sig Republic, and he could not see any tension and anxiety among the civilians.

And his confidence undoubtedly comes from the hidden but extremely powerful magic fluctuations in his body.

As long as he thought about it, the two figures of Transcendents in the whole room could lose their new energy in an instant.

Sitting beside him without saying a word was a white-haired old man.

He was dressed like an old-fashioned old aristocrat rarely seen in Sieg nowadays, wearing a double-breasted gray waistcoat with a brooch, a noble rapier hanging from his waist, and sitting upright.

On the old man's face, there is a scar that runs through the entire face from top to bottom, making his left eye, eyebrows and lips look a bit hideous.

Among the three supreme councilors, the slightly fat one sitting in the middle nodded slightly.

"The sincerity of the 'Association of Truth' is good. It is the vice president of Lancet who came here in person..."

"No, it's my own sincerity. The president originally planned to let two senior members come, but I'm more interested in the demons..." Lanster, who looked like a homeless man, lay on his back with his head in his hands Said, "Especially a succubus, I've never seen one before."

"But thank you, Lord Lanster, for coming," another supreme councilor said, looking at the old man with a scar on his face, with a gentle voice, "I heard that...you are the 'Sword of Hundred Forges' It's recommended, isn't it?"

The old man nodded silently, then spoke in an old and powerful voice.

"That's right, those guys recommended me to come here... I heard that I'm going to the territory of the demons, isn't it?"

"Yes... It seems that the guys from 'Hundred Forged Swords' didn't explain it to you very clearly," the supreme councilor with a gentle and honest voice smiled, and waved to a guard behind him, "Clean up Show this old man good information."

The guard nodded, presented a recording crystal wordlessly, activated it in front of the old man with the scar on his face, and a large piece of Sige characters appeared.

It records detailed information about the Vila Plain and the town of Helanbert.

After all, it used to be a vassal state of the Republic of Sig, and Sig still has a unique advantage in collecting data in this area.

The last supreme councilor finally spoke.

"Recently, many associations of new nobles, small chambers of commerce, and even extraordinary people...have shown signs of contact with the demons, which is very bad..."

"Combining some recent rumors in the mainland and the information we have collected, we have reason to believe that the source of all demon espionage activities is in the town of Helanbert, in the hands of a succubus suspected of being 'Rose'. "

"Although she is not strong, she seems to have a very special status in the Demon Race. The commanders of the entire Vila Plain listen to her opinions... and she seems to use the captives she controls to further capture a team of Sig The Holy Alliance army dominated by nobles."

"No matter what kind of secrets she has, we have discussed and concluded that there may be some evidence of noble mutiny hidden in the town of Helanbert."

"Moreover, the loss of the Lauren Council has already caused us to lose a lot of face. We have repeatedly declined the right to speak within the Holy Alliance."

"Even the Church of Light can bypass us and launch operations without authorization—of course, their target seems to be the town of Helanbert as well."

"We need the two of you to go to that town, collect as much information as possible, and then..."

"Those traitors...whether elves or humans, Reman or Sig...including those demons, there is no need to keep them anymore."

"Please keep the above actions confidential - this is the will of the Supreme Council."

"About your demands, the Supreme Council will also promise to fulfill them."

The Supreme Councilor said so, and the old man also read the entire file.

"I understand, demons and traitors... Although you hypocritical and barbaric new nobles are annoying, these guys are indeed enemies that have to be dealt with with higher priority."

As he said this, he stood up and walked to the door, as if he didn't want to stay here for a second.

232 Glory and Rewards!

After the old-fashioned, quaint and even weird white-haired old man proudly walked out of the room with a sword-like back, Lanster folded his arms and lay on his back.

"Honestly speaking, I'm quite touched that you brought this monster who almost won the 'Juvenile Master' back then, and are willing to call me."

Saying so, he let out a long breath.

"But you are really not afraid that he will hack you three and me to death with one sword."

Lancet sighed, and a wave of invisible magic power dissipated from his body.

"If you only consider 'threat', your threat is not inferior to his."

The fat senator spoke again, looking at Lanster's figure and said.

"It's really flattering me. At best, I'm just a high-level executive with no real power in an illegal society." Lanster stood up from the sofa. Give me something to research."

As he said this, he showed another curious look.

"But I'm curious, why didn't you let that 'Guardian Swordsman' take action, just like before..."

And after this question was asked, even the three supreme councilors couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, as if they had been poked into a sore spot, and looked at Lancet vigilantly.

"Don't worry," Lanster looked at their reactions and showed a nonchalant expression, "Although you have always been unhappy with the 'truth', we are indeed different from other illegal associations. Interests... no interest."

The vertical line under his eyes also trembled slightly with this pouted expression.

"Then...bye, my lords—don't try to kill me, although I'm not as strong as that old man, but if you really plan to kill me, it's quite difficult."

After finishing speaking, Lanster turned towards the door and walked without looking back.

The three supreme councilors watched his leaving back, looked at each other, and finally raised the wine glasses in front of them as if they breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect to use the power of the Truth Association and 'that guy'..."

"'Hundred Forged Sword' has no good intentions."

"The news about the Juggernaut seems to be almost impossible to hide."

"But... 'Truth' does deserve a newcomer a little bit."

"But no matter what... the matter with the demons has finally been resolved smoothly, and we should have a drink."

"Indeed... In any case, the evidence of 'A traitor has appeared in Sieg' cannot be obtained by other forces."

"It's time for us to think about the truce... For those 'earthworms' that we tacitly allowed to contact the demons, it seems that the demons have such sincerity."

"Several other congressmen and consuls are probably also aware of this."

"The problem has never been with Seager, South Sotua and Reman will not allow this to happen - at least not until they pay a worse price."

"Then continue to wait...they still underestimate the abyssal demons too much."

"But is it really okay for us to attack the high-level demons?"

"Just a succubus..."

Although the matter seemed to be showing signs of being resolved, their faces were still covered with a heavy and treacherous shadow. In this warm-toned and luxurious box, there was still a strong sense of coldness.

However, within the territory of the United Kingdom of South Sotua, the actions against Helanbert Town and Rose were no longer considered a conspiracy.

The cleansing has lasted for more than half a month, from the palace of South Sotua to the royal city and then to the whole country. The number of dead mercenaries, fugitives, decapitated nobles and assassinated ministers has exceeded any since the founding of South Sotua. The sum of the number of people in a year, poison, daggers, henchmen, sin edicts, nooses and extraordinary power easily took the lives of those extraordinary or high-ranking people silently or grandly.

The epilogue and end of this chaos were announced by two reward lists.

In this loose, chaotic, and partisan kingdom, overnight, as long as there were mercenary unions and reward boards in all the city-states, those two fresh reward lists from the royal family were all posted.

"Wanted bounty list: Traitor to the Kingdom, former Eye of Sotua member 'Joan'.

Charges: colluding with the demons, betraying military intelligence, and treason.

Bounty: Life or death, [-] universal gold coins. "

"Task bounty list: Clean up the demon stronghold Helanbert Town.

Content: Go to Helanbert Town, where the demons reside, kill the demons and human traitors, and obtain information about the demon king's army.

Bounty: The base price is [-] universal gold coins, and every valuable information and kill will get extra rewards. "

When the two rewards were posted, the mercenary regiments, lone wolf mercenaries, and adventurers in the entire Southern Sotua United Kingdom were all excited.

One hundred thousand general gold coins - that's enough money for a mercenary to live happily for a lifetime.

Even if you go to the most luxurious casino in South Sotua to gamble and spend a lot of money every day, and lose money every day, it will take several months to lose!

Even if it is a mercenary group of 50 people, everyone can get a very considerable reward.

Looking at the portrait of the woman wearing a hood outlined on the wanted notice and the map of Helambert Town on the mission list, no mercenary or adventurer wants to miss such an opportunity.

In South Sotua, money is everything!

And power is money.

This is the heaven and hell for all extraordinary people, and it is also a chaotic country full of infinite possibilities!

Even an epic level may die on the street or in a swamp tomorrow, and even an apprentice level may become rich overnight and become a nobleman.

"Joan" from the "Fisheye" mercenary group, this little girl who became a "big man" in South Sotua and was born in poverty, was once the pride and hope of all mercenaries, almost representing a spiritual symbol.

In the years when she became famous, the number of young people in South Sotua who chose extraordinary professions such as thieves, stalkers, and assassins was much better than usual.

However, the news that she defected to the Demon Race did not actually cause anyone's faith to collapse.

Because this is South Sotua—what could be more exciting than cutting off an idol's head to exchange for a hundred thousand gold coins?

If there is... then it is probably to sneak into the town of Helanbeit, which is the territory of the demons, kill some demons and steal some parchments, and get paid far more than [-] gold coins!

Even, the "honor" brought by completing these two tasks is more important to many mercenaries than the one hundred thousand gold coins themselves.

After all, mercenaries also have spiritual pursuits.

Whether it's killing the former "legend" in the mercenary world, my dear Miss Qiong, or obtaining information about the demon race that shocked the entire continent... these are unprecedented feats!

It's worth their lives to try!

233 The upgrade plan of the magic circle belt in Helanbert Town

At the same time, in the town of Herland Bate, Rose, after leisurely eating afternoon tea in the torture room, finally decided to "improve" the space magic circle around Herland Bate.

In any case, even without what Isabella said to her, which in Rose's opinion was a bit "scaremongering", with the development of Herland Bett Town in the future, these space magic arrays must be changed to be more intelligent. , to prevent any outsiders from straying into it and suffering any damage, which would have a bad impact on the town of Helanbert.

Rose has also thought about the method of transformation - she also wants to take this opportunity to practice the application of the ancient rune technology in the magical environment of the main plane.
