Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran was stunned.

Grandmaster! Grandmaster! Grandmaster!

She had already ignored the existence of the black cave, because that thing couldn't possibly have blocked Iresie's attack.

When Eresh landed, Anran suddenly noticed that the number after the [Level] column jumped, and the last 6 actually rolled back to 0.

"..."

It can't be wrong.

Anran was convinced that she couldn't possibly be wrong.

However, the level has changed again, which means that Eresh has a perfect way to hide her strength.

She is clearly a grandmaster, but she hides her strength at the peak of the master level.

This was definitely not done for her, because there was no need for it.

If it weren't for her reconnaissance skills, An Ran would never have been able to figure it out.

An Ran's mind was now filled with a mixture of shock and confusion.

"That was close."

Ai Leixi walked up to An Ran with a look of emotion on her face.

"How did you end up here?" An Ran asked.

Heloise and Ella both watched Eresh warily.

Why is this woman here again?

“Actually, I came here to…” Eresh paused for a moment, “to inform you of an important message.”

"What news?"

Eresh said, "Since the war has reached Aistar, the Royal Knights made a decision a few days ago to temporarily relocate to their base in the Dominac region. An opportunity has arisen to rescue our comrades who have been imprisoned."

An Ran was taken aback: "You mean those people from the pirate crew?"

“That’s right.” Irene’s face was full of excited smiles.

"..."

From An Ran's own perspective, she wasn't particularly keen on saving those people.

Because she only has memories, but no feelings.

However, a voice from the depths of her being told An Ran, "Go, go and save them!"

Yes, that sound is the game notification sound!

Unexpectedly!

"You have triggered the fourth stage of the main quest 'Dream Song': 'The Rekindled Flame'. The quest is now mandatory."

The members of the Pirates of the Other Shore were imprisoned on the planet Ai.

This mission has an unprecedented penalty for failure.

If the mission fails, Anran's favorability with the Royal Knights will drop to zero, and she will be wanted by the Empire.

"There must be something fishy about this!"

Detective An Ran immediately noticed the anomaly.

Will I be wanted if I fail the mission?

This means that the Royal Knights are finally going to take action against her.

Their plan has progressed to the point where they want her to take the stage.

Irene is not to be trusted.

This is Anran's understanding.

This woman is shrouded in secrets; she seems to be forever shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see her true face.

A woman with a secret is dangerous.

We should cooperate with her for now.

"Really?" An Ran looked at Ai Leixi with "surprise".

"Once the Fourth Prince's power disintegrates, the Royal Knights will take action. At that time, there will be a very short vacuum on Aixing, perhaps about ten days. That will be the opportunity. Don't worry, Anran, I will cooperate with you."

"Those people from the Royal Council..."

"They will go to find the Third Prince."

"This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." An Ran clenched her fist.

“This matter needs further consideration. Let’s talk about the attack you just suffered.” Eresh’s tone changed, and her expression turned grim. “I sensed the aura of a demon in that black cave. In fact, I encountered a demonic phantom a few days ago when I first arrived in the Mushroom Cloud Galaxy. Although I dispersed the phantom, its main body is still alive.”

Demons, and demonic phantoms.

An Ran thought of Theodore and Rachel, who was possessed by a demon.

The first attack failed, so are they going to try a second one?

As expected, all the previous peace talks were just a sham.

Anger suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for her gray health bar, she would have been a corpse by now after those two black lightning bolts. If it weren't for her gray health bar, Heloise would have perished here as well.

“I can kill her, beat her, and curse her, but no one else can. Heloise is working for me now, and anyone who wants to touch her will have to see if I allow it!”

If they dare to lay a hand on Heloise today, they might lay a hand on Ella tomorrow.

An Ran's murderous intent surged like a turbulent sea.

Roaring waves crashing against the cliffs.

……

At that moment, dozens of small aircraft suddenly rushed over from the city, and almost all of the Nova Allied high command were present.

Visa jumped out of the aircraft and asked nervously, "What happened?"

He glanced at Eresh curiously, wondering to himself, "Why is Eresh here?"

"Someone wants to assassinate our ruler."

Heloise said in a cold voice.

"Assassination? Could it be someone from the noble garrison?" Vesa was shocked; this was a serious matter.

"No."

Heloise directly denied it.

“It’s a demon,” An Ran replied.

demon?

Visa immediately thought of Enron and Wilmer's "whistleblowing" a while ago—

Theodore, who was on the front lines of the war, had connections with demons.

He subconsciously glanced back.

Theodore was standing in the crowd, but he was positioned at the back, so he was not very noticeable.

The most eye-catching group of four members of the undercover mercenary group, Wilmer and his three lieutenants, were trembling with fear.

Good heavens.

Incredible.

Theodore has gone mad.

He dared to attack ANR here, and while ANR remained unharmed, the others were in danger.

Visa frowned.

However, there is no evidence to suggest that Theodore did it.

If he forces the blame onto Theodore, it will likely cause controversy.

But if we do nothing, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the transdimensional and underground mercenary groups.

This is a really tricky situation.

Visa was very distressed.

Eresh stepped in and solved his problem.

The onlookers watched as Eresh stepped past Vesa, then pointed at Theodore: "He has the same aura as the attacker!"

Surprised!

The people standing around Theodore immediately dispersed, leaving Theodore alone in the center of the circle.

Theodore looked around at the people with a blank expression: "What are you doing? Seriously? Do you really think I did this? I have absolutely no reason to do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding. We've known each other for quite a while now. Are you really going to believe a complete stranger so easily? Is she trying to frame me?!"

"Throwing mud?"

Irene sneered and took a step forward: "Do you know who I am?"

“I don’t care who you are, you can’t slander me!” Theodore roared.

“I am the vice-commander of the Royal Knights. If I say you have a problem, then you have a problem!”

The sudden blast of air pushed everyone around to the side, and before Eresh could finish speaking, she was already standing in front of Theodore.

Theodore's expression changed drastically.

They were actually members of the Royal Knights.

This is the opponent he least wants to face.

The flames shot straight toward Theodore's head, and Theodore only had time to raise his hands, but he missed.

"Oops!"

Theodore's expression changed drastically.
