Although he did leave the two behind and planned to go alone, what he didn't expect was that he met Hill, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, on the way.

"Hey, Hill, why are you here!" If I was surprised when I saw Claire before, then when I saw this figure appearing in front of me, I was completely delighted.

After all, it has been more than half a month since we met, and I still miss such a powerful and reliable maid very much.

Although the other party may seem a little bit unserious sometimes, it is still much safer than those lolita control freaks. At least I can act coquettishly with the other party without restraint like I do now.

Or it would be more appropriate to say eating tofu.

Chapter 77 The Devil is by my side (again)

"Your Highness, the people around are watching." Facing the guy who threw himself into his arms and acted coquettishly but was actually taking advantage of him, Hill simply gave him a simple reminder.

So, the thin-skinned pink-haired girl immediately pulled her away gloriously amid the amused gazes of the people around her.

After leaving everyone's sight, Hill also reported to me the overall situation in the Orwin Empire.

Although I had guessed that the popularity of the Barena Bunker would cause the popularity of the Fire Demon Potions and recipes to soar significantly, I did not expect that in less than a week after the bunker was opened, the profit would be close to 1,800 gold coins.

The amount is several times more than what was earned through hidden tasks before. No wonder it is said that the most profitable methods are written in the Criminal Code. This kind of monopoly sales is really profitable.

Although it cannot be said to be a monopoly, after all, players can still obtain them by killing monsters, but with such a low drop rate, if you want to get enough recipes for the guild, it is better to expect to receive some special mission and have an encounter.

According to Hill, the Rose Heart Guild got some news a few days ago and came to her, wanting to purchase some formulas for Fire Demon Potion from her.

Hill did not discuss the price, but only suggested that there was a hidden task for which she could help provide a way to accomplish it. Five other fire resistance potion formulas could be exchanged for one fire magic potion formula. With the current high price of fire magic potion formulas, Rose Heart would definitely make money even with this method, so she naturally agreed.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up. Hill is worthy of his name. Although this is essentially a gain without any effort, it can actually be regarded as a win-win cooperation with the public account of Rose Heart.

Later, until now, when the market price has become relatively stable, Hill handed the remaining Fire Demon Potion to Tracy to be responsible for sales, and came to the Constantana Empire to assist me.

"Is it really a good idea to leave such an important matter to that idiot Tris?" I couldn't help but have some doubts about this.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I asked Lord Claire to send a few priests to help deal with the situation. Nothing will go wrong."

"The...people from Claire's side?"

I was silent for a moment, and looked at Hill inquiringly. After getting the answer from her eyes, I felt a little sympathy for Tris who was far away in the Orwen Empire. After that, I also gave a general overview of what happened on my side, so that Hill could understand what happened on her side, so that she would have an advance understanding.

As expected of Hill, he understood immediately after listening to my retelling. "That means Your Highness needs to go to that pharmacist and ask her to forge a false story to deal with the army. The army will definitely cooperate with Your Highness because they feel guilty."

"Yes, in this case, I will find a few pharmacists to provide proof of the inspection results, and the military will definitely not be suspicious."

After all, experience in the previous life has proved that even ordinary senior pharmacists cannot detect the potions modified by the other party. I believe that this superficial proof will definitely put those in the army at ease.

With this in mind, I finally brought Hill to the alchemy workshop we had been to before. This time, there was no need to ask the passing apprentices, because the pharmacist named Rongla only often went to that one alchemy room.

After arriving at the alchemy room I was in last time and knocking on the door, the familiar voice of the other party was heard from inside the room as expected.

"Come in."

Girl, if you sound like this, I won't doubt the cause of your kidnapping. I couldn't help but curl my lips silently. Just when I was about to push the door open and walk in, I noticed the strange look on Hill's face. "What's wrong, Hill?"

"I don't know why, but the atmosphere here gives me a familiar feeling."

"Familiar feeling?"

Hill didn't explain, he just said a name, "Miss Tris."

I was stunned for a moment, thinking of Claire's reaction before, and suddenly thought of something, "Hill, you mean, she is the same as Tris..."

But before I could finish my words, I was completely interrupted by the sound coming from the room.

"Are you coming in or not? If you're not coming in, please don't get in the way at the door."

This brat...

I winked at Hill and pushed the door open with her.

After seeing the person who pushed the door open, Rongla was a little surprised, and seemed to have a vigilant look, which made her originally cute little face look quite serious. "What are you doing here? Haven't all the modified potions been given to you?"

I was quite angry, so I didn't bother to be polite with her. I directly explained to her the negative effects of the transformation. However, I also said that Holy Light was tolerant, so I decided to let her go as long as I could forge a false excuse to the army.

However, after hearing this, Rongla did not seem to be panicked at all, and continued to fiddle with the alchemical device in front of her. "Oh, that's why I hate you hypocritical clergy. What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? And even if I did it, why should I listen to you?"

Does this guy have such a strong hatred towards the Holy Light faith?

But if it was really what Hill said, then everything could be explained. I glanced at Hill next to me, and after getting a positive answer from her nod, I immediately felt confident, "Just because you are in the dark camp."

Rongla stopped moving her hands for a moment, but soon she said as if nothing had happened. "I don't know what you are talking about. Have the clergymen now fallen to the point of using false accusations to achieve their despicable goals?"

I admired his calmness, but I could still clearly feel the slight ups and downs in his tone. I smiled slightly, as if I had a better grasp of his thoughts. "Don't deny it, because we are the same as you, Hill."

"This cheap lie won't work on me."

Rongla sneered and suddenly felt a sense of oppression. She raised her head and saw a tall figure reaching out to grab her. She subconsciously wanted to resist, but was stunned when her arm was grabbed.

Because she sensed that familiar aura, "Is this... the power of a high-level demon?"

"After all, the people standing in front of you are the current Demon King and his men." I shrugged and decided that if the other party admitted his mistake like Tracy did, it would be best to let Hill drown this brat completely in the "Ocean of Mebius".

"Although this sister has the aura of a demon king, but considering the previous situation, you little brat are the current demon king?"

However, even if I guessed correctly, what this damn girl said was very infuriating...

Chapter 78 Aunt and Niece

Through the other party's explanation, we also learned the reason why she came to the light camp, but what puzzled us was that the other party's description seemed to be exactly the same as what Tracy said before.

It’s just that Rongla was not affected by the war, but accidentally entered the space wormhole left over from the war.

Even though we haven't discussed how he was able to disguise his identity for so long without being exposed, I have already guessed something. "Could it be that you are also a member of the Shadow Demon Clan who is good at disguise?"

"I didn't expect that you, the devil, are quite knowledgeable." Although Rongla relaxed and his tone seemed much lighter after explaining each other's identities, it still made people a little angry.

But this is not what I care about, but I just can't suppress my curiosity.

Even Hill next to me was a little hesitant and asked for me, "Ms. Rongla, what is your relationship with Miss Cuisi?"

Hearing this name, Rongla's tone was unusually fluctuating, which could be seen from the empty reagent bottle that was knocked over on the table, "Do you know my aunt? Where is she?"

"Tris is your aunt?" However, after hearing the other party's words, I was shocked.

After all, I originally thought that they might just be from the same clan, or just ordinary friends, or at most distant or close relatives, such as sisters or something.

However, I never expected that they were actually aunt and niece. When I asked their ages, they were in their forties, which was considered young among the Shadow Fiends.

"The Shadow Demon clan has a long lifespan, so this situation is possible." Hill next to her hesitated and spoke, but I think she was explaining it to herself.

But the point shouldn't be, why this genuine underage Shadow Demon acts so maturely, while Tris, who has lived for more than a hundred years, seems more like a simple silly loli?

...Or maybe it's just because Tris is born stupid.

After learning that Tris was with the Orwen Empire, Rongla regained her original calm demeanor, "Since my aunt is also with you, it's not impossible for me to join you."

"Are you so confident that I will accept you?" I was a little unhappy with the other party's attitude.

"You must need my abilities, otherwise you wouldn't have come all this way."

Rongla seemed very confident.

I was choked and speechless, and suddenly I missed the innocent and lovely little Cui Si who was far away in Orwen.

Now that you have decided to join my team, you naturally cannot stay in this alchemy workshop any longer, lest others discover any clues. If the army finds out, the consequences will undoubtedly be more serious.

Therefore, I also planned to take Rongla to the alchemy workshop that I asked Kai and others to purchase in Nalton.

As for whether the other party would meet that group of lolita lovers, it was not within my consideration at all, or rather, I was quite looking forward to this situation.

After all, either this kid loses his spirit under the "torture" of those lolita lovers, or those lolita lovers fall into the hands of this extraordinary kid. Either way, it won't do me any harm.

However, before leaving, Rongla went to a small courtyard behind the alchemy workshop, where there was a tombstone, decorated with some flowers and plants around it. It seemed that it was trimmed neatly because it was regularly taken care of.

Rongla said something to the tombstone there, and we did not disturb him and waited quietly for him to finish speaking in the distance.

When Rongla came back to my side, I glanced at the tombstone and couldn't help but ask, "Is that someone very important to you?"

I believe this person holds a very important position in Rongla's heart, as he can make such a dull person like her do these things.

"She was the one who took me in when I mistakenly entered the light camp and was starving and cold. Even though she knew that my elf identity was a lie, she treated me wholeheartedly and treated me like her sister. But I never told her my true identity until she died."

Rongla's tone was flat, as if he was talking about an ordinary friend, but the self-blame and loneliness in his eyes were obvious.

"Sorry," I whispered.

"Ms. Rongla, don't blame yourself too much. This is not your fault." Hill also spoke to comfort her, which was rare.

"I've let it go. After such a long time, I've understood one thing: humans are very fragile. A little illness can take their lives." Rongla paused. "If they could help treat the plague in time, maybe she could live a long, long time."

"That's why I hate those guys who talk about the Holy Light all the time... Although I also know that there was no way to save so many civilians infected with the plague at that time."

"But come to think of it, since I'm a devil, do I need a reason to hate them?" Rongla sneered, his tone returned to normal, as if he had come out of his previous depression.

Just hearing what Rongla said reminded me of Claire and Kai. "In fact, not all believers who talk about the Holy Light are so annoying."

"Some of them are quite special." I patted Rongla's shoulder and looked into the distance at the dark sky, "Some of them are particularly abnormal."

"?" Rongla was puzzled.

Hill next to him turned his head, but his shoulders were shaking.

……

I placed Zhu Rongla in the alchemy workshop I bought, and asked her to continue helping with the potion modification. Occasionally, she could use the abilities I gave her to return to the Demon King's Castle to meet Cui Si.

As for me, Hill and I went to several pharmacists to get the certification results of the redstone potion. Naturally, just as I expected, these pharmacists could not detect the little trick that Rongla had done.

After submitting the proof to Isabella, I no longer considered how the other party would deal with it.

During the next two days, there were naturally no major problems at the ruins. After getting Hill's advice, the specific location of the monsters was even slightly planned, and the effect was slightly better than before.

Of course, during this process, he naturally introduced Hill to Ivan and Cecilia, which made Ivan suddenly think of something and shouted for justice for the copy plot at that time.

"So what they said was not wrong at that time. It was obviously An An who was too abnormal!"

Then I beat her again.

"The one who designed the plot was another one of my subordinates. It's none of my business."

Hill and Cecilia watched the show from the side, but as for Satasia? She had already run away when I brought Hill here.

This caused several more related posts to appear on the forum that day. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of expression Satasia would have when she saw these netizens affectionately calling the evil spirit corpse leader that she, Ivan, and Cecilia transformed into a "3A masterpiece."

But then again, shouldn’t this be considered a “4A-level scenic area” if I’m included?

...Pah, why should I complain about myself.

But no matter what, the time finally came three days later, which was the day when school started.

……

……

There will be only one update today, and the same will be true tomorrow.

Chapter 79: Unexpected Path

In a spacious and elegantly decorated room near a complex of buildings near the sea, there seemed to be only the sound of the fresh sea breeze blowing through the gaps in the curtains through the balcony door that was not closed tightly.

Even if it is a sleeping painting, it is quiet and beautiful.

But soon, this leisurely atmosphere was broken by the dinging of an alarm clock.

However, before the alarm clock could show off its power for long, a white little hand stretched out from under the quilt and immediately suppressed it completely.

Then, after a long time, a cute figure in pajamas slowly emerged from the warm bed.

I reluctantly left the soft bed, took out clothes from the closet to change, went to the bathroom in the room to wash up, and then yawned as I came to the living room, which seemed much quieter than before.

Only my mother was busy in the kitchen; my aunt and sister-in-law were nowhere to be seen.

Because of the start of the school year, my aunt, as an executive of the school student union, has been busy helping with the new student orientation work under the contact of the president. My younger sister-in-law is a graduate student in the same school and had experiments arranged by her supervisor at the beginning of the school, so she and my aunt went back to school early yesterday to tidy up the dormitory.

However, although they usually live on campus, they will still come here to stay when they don’t have classes or during holidays. After all, this community is in the same urban area as the university where my aunt and my sister-in-law study, and it only takes less than half an hour to get there by car.

"So don't feel lonely, Xiaotong. Sister Anrou and I will come back to see you often~"

This is what my aunt said to me before she left yesterday.

"You're not lonely at all. Besides, it's OK now that my aunt is back. Just focus on your studies at school and be careful not to fail."

I responded with confidence, relying on the presence of my parents.
