"Great! Great!" Elise nodded heavily and gave Raine a sweet smile.
The two chatted as they walked toward the direction of the caravans outside the woods.
Speaking of teaming up, Raine suddenly thought of sothing.
"Oh right, Miss Elise, has there been any reply from Reya yet?"
"Not yet." Elise shook her head, her fine eyebrows slightly furrowed, showing a worried expression.
Raine nodded.
He had already learned from Elise that the place Reya went to, the Earth Realm Moonshadow Woodland, is located at the border between the southern Soladin Kingdom and the most powerful Urein Empire, which is a long journey away.
So, Elise could only send a letter through the Adventurer’s Association’s channel to Reya’s ntor Gina regarding what Laisa said.
However, there has been no reply so far.
The main concern is that both he and Elise are worried that Reya knows nothing about the mysterious organization and might return to Dorne City without any defenses, which could be very dangerous.
This is different from Chris and the other two.
Half a month ago, Elise discussed with him whether to write to Chris and the other two as well.
But considering that after receiving the news, the three would definitely abandon the opportunity to learn from Weapon Master Beiseth Mitchell in Bornberry and rush over.
But if they’re not Classes, they won’t have much ability to protect themselves against the mysterious organization, putting Chris and the others directly in danger.
So both of them felt it was better to let the three study Combat Skills in Bornberry with peace of mind.
Additionally, according to Laisa, her task had no requirents for Chris and the others, but Raine and Reya were targeted for assassination because they had killed the Gray Dwarves.
’Speaking of Laisa, I wonder how she’s doing now...’
’Let’s not think about it for now; I must focus on completing the class change!’ Raine thought to himself.
When it cos to the mysterious assassin organization, Raine is not without preparation.
He regularly enhances himself with the bloodlines of the Giant Vampire Bat Leader, Wild Boar Warrior, and Deep Moss Spider, obtaining Sensitive Hearing Lv2, Sensitive Sll Lv2, and Sensitive Touch Lv2, making him unafraid of ambushes.
In battle, he can quickly switch according to the situation.
Besides, Raine can actually change classes at any ti now, although it’s not the strongest class.
If there really appears an assassin he cannot handle at the mont, Raine would choose to imdiately change classes without hesitation, which would be a major trump card.
The caravan slowly headed towards Mill Town.
"By the way, Mr. Raine, it’s been half a month today. The equipnt at the Iron Furnace Workshop should be repaired today," Elise reminded.
"Oh? I almost forgot." Raine’s face lit up, and he shouted towards the driver upfront, "Old George, head to the Iron Furnace Workshop first."
"Understood, sir!" A hoarse voice ca from the front of the carriage.
Old George was the carriage driver. Considering they had hired Old George’s caravan multiple tis and anticipated frequent future use, Elise and Raine decided to lease it long-term half a month ago.
...
At the sa ti.
Southwest of Dorne City.
Inside a luxurious mansion with front and back courtyards.
Basent level, interrogation room.
A woman wearing a dark red magic robe sat sideways on a chair, gently swirling a transparent goblet of red wine with her fair and slender fingers. Her red lips parted slightly, "Little beauty, let’s talk."
"When did you make contact with the Earth Divine Hall?"
Faced with the questioning, Laisa, who was confined to an iron chair with specialized tal handcuffs and shackles, lowered her head and remained silent.
Laisa looked a bit weary, but from her posture, she wasn’t injured.
"Lady Lilith, this girl doesn’t seem to appreciate kindness. We should apply so pressure," Zoel grumbled from the side.
Zoel’s attitude is understandable; if you look closely, you’d notice a faint scratch on Zoel’s cheek.
However, the scratch was not caused by Laisa but rather by the Winter Wolf, or indirectly by Laisa.
During more than ten days of chase across the Lankote Snowfield, when he thought he was about to capture Laisa easily, he lost her trail several tis.
After braving blizzards and cold, and battling with the Ice Owl Bear and Winter Wolf Pack several tis, he finally subdued Laisa on the southeastern side of the snowfield.
At that mont, he noticed Laisa wearing a complete pure white Frost Blade Leopard fur. Due to her petite figure, she could naturally wrap herself completely, making it near impossible to spot her in the snowy white environnt.
If it weren’t for finally...
"Zoel, a little beauty like her should not be treated so violently." At this ti, Lilith stood up, the dark red magic robe outlining her voluptuous curves. Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, she ca up behind Laisa.
"I heard you grew up in the Deep Sand Plain area... life was probably very tough, right..." As Lilith’s red lips gently parted, she lightly pointed a finger, and an almost imperceptible dark red halo slowly enveloped the top of Laisa’s head circle after circle.
It soaked into Laisa’s body and soul like a gentle spring rain.
Laisa, who firmly decided to say nothing, suddenly felt that the voice from behind her was very similar to her mother’s kind voice. Sohow, the vigilance in her heart lted away like ice drenched with hot water.
Even the fragrance coming from behind was reminiscent of her mother’s familiar scent.
This made the last bit of resistance in Laisa’s mind evaporate instantly, leaving only the instinctive trust of a child towards a mother.
Laisa felt the voice behind her was so kind, and the questions from her "mother" disard any resistance in her heart. Her lips, previously pressed into a tight line, slowly parted as she softly spoke:
"I...I had no contact with the Earth Divine Hall. The one who dispelled the mark for ... was a colleague of the task target Raine... an Official Priest from the Earth Divine Hall."
"She was very nice, very kind..."
"...."
And if viewed from Zoel’s perspective on the side.
It could be observed that Laisa’s eyes were slightly rolled back and vacant, indicating a state of unawareness. Zoel understood it was because Lady Lilith cast the First Level spell ’Charm Humans’.
With Lady Lilith’s special bloodline, the ’Charm Humans’ spell seed to have so upcasting or enhancent effects. In Zoel’s experience, no one could resist it during interrogations.
Upon hearing Laisa’s words, both Lilith and Zoel were montarily stunned.
Apparently, this answer was unexpected for both of them.
"Hehe~" Imdiately afterward, Lilith chuckled lightly.
A mont later.
In the study on the second floor.
"Lady Lilith, what about Laisa’s original task target?" Zoel asked respectfully.
"Action has already comnced at the Valley of Dead Water. The Wild Boar People will attract a lot of attention there. anwhile, in Dorne City, operations need to start as well. Zoel, go to Mill Town and handle that Raine. Return within two days, no problem?"
"No problem, Lady Lilith!" Zoel bowed.
"Mm, as for that Female Archer, I will ssage Aiel. We are about to act soon, and we’re short on hands right here," Lilith said dismissively.
"Yes, Lady Lilith!" Zoel lowered his head.
He was quite aware that this was an excuse from his Lady Lilith.
He had pondered why the organization sent two adults, who did not get along, to handle operations in Dorne City separately, isn’t that counterproductive?
Of course, both are far superior to him in strength and rank, so he could only silently speculate.
"Lady, what should we do with Laisa?"
"For now, keep her in the basent of Baron Olsen’s Castle."
