How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Since I was already at the alchemy workshop, I went to the alchemy room and told Sister Yue Changan about the new agreement.

"Such a large order, and it's from a famous guild. Can I...really do this, Xiaotong?"

Yue Changan was a little hesitant and seemed not very confident.

Although she had Cuisi's guidance here for a few days, which made her feel familiar with the herbs in the game and would not make mistakes as often as before, Yue Changan had never taken on such an important task as connecting with a large guild, so she was inevitably hesitant for a while.

"Don't worry, Sister Chang'an. The Rose Heart will probably only use redstone potions for the time being. You just need to do it as you did before. The materials will be provided. Even if they are wasted, they can only accept it with tears. After all, there is no such thing as compensation for failure in the agreement." I shrugged. It is natural for allies to take advantage of each other.

Yue Changan chuckled, as if he was amused by my roguery, and his originally sickly and delicate face blossomed with a different kind of charm, "Well, I will try my best, thank you, Xiaotong."

She is not stupid, she naturally understands that this is an opportunity for her to practice, otherwise she would not have taken all these details into consideration.

Although materials are not a problem, Yue Changan also made a decision silently in his heart that he must try his best to avoid mistakes this time and must not continue to drag me down.

After resolving matters with Finns, I switched back to the identity of Saint Sophielina and returned to the Holy Light Monastery in the White Partridge Woods.

I greeted the guards at the entrance, and was fed a bunch of snacks and candies. I even wondered if opening a snack shop nearby would be a way to get rich through circular development.

"Hey."

Just when he was about to return to his room with some snacks, he ran into Kai and Bemira on the road.

"Sister Kai, Sister Bemira, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Her Highness Sophielina."

Both of them responded to my greeting respectfully, and looking at the snacks in my arms, Bemira couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

Daisy beside me coughed as if to remind her companions, then smiled at me and asked, "Do you need my help, Your Highness Sophielina?"

"I'm not that weak yet."

I curled my lips, but I also saw something from their looks, "What are Sister Daisy and Sister Bemira going to do?"

"Your Highness, we are going to attend the meeting of the trainee group."

"I see. I thought we were going to some kind of party because the sisters looked like they were looking forward to it."

I nodded, but when I looked up, I saw the two of them had somewhat stiff expressions, "Hey, um, did Sophielina say something wrong…"

"Because the suggestion we mentioned last time was adopted, that's why we are so happy, right, Bemira?" Daisy quickly reacted and explained.

“Yes…yes.”

Although she agreed, facing those innocent eyes full of curiosity, Bemira couldn't help but surrender, "Yes... It's a suggestion to add... add milk as a necessary nutritional supplement."

When they saw the ** opposite them shift their gaze to a part below the average line of one of their monasteries and reveal an expression of "so that's it", they were immediately hurt.

What happened to the Paladin's milk supply being a little low...

Bemira and Daisy thought with some sadness and anger.

Daisy coughed awkwardly, "Well, Your Highness, it's getting late, we will take our leave now."

"Well, bye sisters... ah, right."

I nodded, but suddenly remembered something, so I stopped the two people who were about to leave and stuffed some snacks into their hands. "Although I can't help you, please accept these. And you should not be picky about food in the future, so that you can grow better."

Looking at the dried eggs and canned papaya milk in my hands, I could still hear **'s well-intentioned sermons.

Bemira and Daisy were defeated. They felt so ashamed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Humph, you guys bullied me like this last time."

Thinking back to the heart-wrenching look on their faces when they left, I covered my mouth and chuckled.

Of course I know that the two of them are hiding something, but this has little to do with me. I am completely satisfied as long as I can take the opportunity to harm the other party.

My already good mood became even better, and I hummed a song as I prepared to go back to my room.

As a result, he almost tripped over something under his feet.

"Who is so lacking in public morality... Well, this is..."

However, the resentment that had just arisen disappeared after he saw the appearance of the person opposite him clearly.

Chapter 111 The Secret of the Monastery

I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was not seeing things. The book I picked up had the title "Girl Leah" that I had just read a few days ago written on its cover, but this time it was the sequel to the second volume.

"Did those two guys drop it?"

I turned around and looked behind me, but the two people who had already left were obviously unable to give me any answers.

However, I looked for it on the bookshelf in my room a few days ago, and also asked other people in the monastery indirectly, but I didn't get any news. But I just happened to find it today. It can't be a coincidence no matter how I think about it.

It seems that the first volume left in the room should have been left by Bemira or Daisy.

But for me, it’s not a bad thing.

After all, this is like the novel you have been following for a long time suddenly having an update. Even if it has a bad ending, you still have reason to take care of the author's blade business.

Just as I was returning to my room with the books, I met a familiar figure in the room.

"Your Highness, are you back?" Hill, who was leaning against the desk, looked up and greeted me, then continued to look at the notebook in front of him, as if he was writing something.

"Hey, did you find out anything from your investigation, Hill?"

I originally thought that Hill would take some time to come back, but I didn't expect that he was already waiting for me in the room.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

Seeing Hill's appearance, I was a little curious. After putting the novel in my hand into my backpack, I moved closer to Hill, wanting to see what was written in the notebook in his hand.

However, if there are many things in this world that are difficult to change by one's own efforts alone and are called force majeure, I think the biggest force majeure for me is already obvious.

[Yes, height is an absolute force majeure]

Hill, who was writing and revising, noticed a figure jumping beside him and subconsciously looked over.

When she saw that her Demon King could not reach the height of the notebook in her hand no matter how hard he tried, her originally beautiful and indifferent face could not help but be touched by such a lovely action and revealed an amused expression.

But he returned to normal in an instant, as if the laughter just now was just an illusion.

Just when I gave up my dignity and was about to climb onto the chair next to me to make up for the annoying height difference, Hill reached out from the side and gently pressed me onto the chair, while placing the notebook in front of me and touching the words on it with the tip of the pen.

"It's almost done. Here are some suspicious places in the monastery sorted out by my subordinates. This is the first one."

Following Hill's guidance, I looked at the fragment in the notebook, where there was a circled area with words written on it.

There seem to be different classes within the monastery.

"Isn't there any problem with this?" I tilted my head and looked at Hill behind me. "There must be such divisions within any faction."

Although this may not happen in the early stages of the development of some forces, as a force that broke away from the church, the structure and power composition of the Holy Light Monastery will naturally mature.

"No, I'm not talking about the division of power, although the management of the Holy Light Monastery are all regarded as core members by Claire."

Hill shook his head and pointed to the explanation behind it.

I understood what Hill meant. "Is Hill saying that this is based on Claire's approval?"

"I'm not sure. It's possible that the decision was made by that part of the management, similar to the Elders' Council of the Empire, but Claire should be the dominant one."

Hill was silent for a moment and continued, "And I think it's not quite right to describe it as a class. It feels more like an organization that exists within the monastery."

"An organization within the power, like the Court of Arbitration or the Novice Group in a monastery?"

"No, those are the ones that exist in the monastery openly, and this organization is completely hidden. I have tried many ordinary members in the monastery, and they know nothing about it. They don't even know that there is a hidden organization in the monastery."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look. "The monastery is independent of the church, and it is possible that it has brought special structural characteristics from the church. For example, the involvement of factions will bring these people together."

Although I say this, I also know that an organization that is led by a leader, with a management class as its core, and developed within a power structure, regardless of its purpose and how it develops, its very existence seems very strange.

"Let's put this aside for now. Has Hill discovered anything else?" I thought about it but couldn't come up with any conclusion, so I decided to ignore this issue for the time being.

Hill nodded, reached out and flipped through the notebook in front of me, stopping at the second page. "Although I haven't discovered the purpose of that organization, I have found some clues."

"There are special towers at the three corners of the monastery. It is said that they are used to strengthen the effect of the central magic circle. In order to prevent interference and because it is located in a remote area, apart from the patrol team, there shouldn't be many people going there."

"However, I have found a lot of traces of human activities in each tower. Based on these traces, I have inferred that a ceremony or party of unknown significance is held in a tower every once in a while." Hilton paused and continued, "Plus, the keys to the towers have always been kept by Claire. I suspect that these towers are their bases."

"Ritual...activity..." I muttered these two words silently, and suddenly thought of what happened before. Something seemed to dawn on me, "Hill, your guesses should be correct."

I told them about my encounter with Bemira and Daisy in the corridor just now.

After listening to my story, Hill nodded and said, "Yes, I infer that the next time they hold a party will also be tonight."

"Tonight? What a coincidence." I stretched and patted Hill's shoulder. "Good job, Hill. You have dug up so many things in such a short time."

Be it combat, reconnaissance, cooking or knowledge accumulation, Hill excels in every aspect, so much so that sometimes I even doubt whether maid is the ultimate profession in this game.

"Your Highness has given you the compliment."

"Hehe, I finally managed to dig out some details about you."

I clenched my fists and looked very motivated. After all, apart from curiosity, it was also a happy thing to be able to solve the doubts that had been bothering me tonight.

But suddenly he thought of something and asked Hill, "By the way, Hill, when is the party tonight?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it should be around midnight."

"..."

"Eh?"

Chapter 112: Late Night Ritual

The dinner was still very sumptuous, but I seemed a little absent-minded while eating.

Such a strange look made the younger sister next to her look inquiringly at the aunt, but the aunt put on an innocent look and said that she knew nothing, and even winked at her.

My aunt looked at my aunt helplessly, reached out to pick up some food for me, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Xiaotong, you look so dazed."

"Maybe you were scared after watching a horror movie? It doesn't matter. Auntie can sleep with you at night. Just consider it as a reward for your kindness this afternoon. How about it?" Auntie said with a giggle.

"Hey, I'm fine."

I reacted and quickly finished the rice in the bowl, "I'm full, I'm going to take a shower first."

"It's so early today? I'll go get some change of clothes."

"No, I can get it myself." I waved my hand and put the dishes in the sink. "By the way, I'm a little tired today. I went to bed right after taking a shower. Aunt, you don't have to prepare hot milk for me."

Looking at the petite figure turning into the room, An Rou and Ning Youyou couldn't help but look at each other.

"You also find it strange, Sister An Rou, Tongtong hasn't been so well behaved recently. She used to play games until eight or nine o'clock, but now she has to go to bed at six o'clock. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem normal, right?"

An Rou nodded, looking thoughtful, "Youyou."

"Got it. I'll go have an 'intimate communication' with Tongtong right now and I promise to find the reason." Ning Youyou's eyes lit up.

"How bad is your sleeping posture?"

"...???"

After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, in order to make myself more convincing, I pretended to yawn repeatedly and said good night to my aunt and cousin, then I turned off the lights in the room and got into bed.

Of course it's impossible to really sleep.

Yes, when I heard Hill say that the special ceremony of the hidden organization in the monastery would be held around the early morning, I hesitated for a moment and decided to stay up late.

Although staying up late was not a strange thing for me in my previous life, I am still a minor now. Even a fool knows that staying up late is bad for children's health.

What's more, I am under the supervision of my aunt and uncle. If they find out, not to mention that I can't get rid of their preaching, if my parents find out, I will inevitably be scolded when I come back.

So even though it is not nice to deceive my aunt and sister-in-law, I have no choice but to do so for the sake of my actions that night.

As I was daydreaming, time seemed to pass quickly. The phone under my pillow vibrated slightly. I rubbed my eyes and realized that I almost fell asleep. Fortunately, I was prepared.

I checked my phone. It was ten fifty-one.

Because I was worried that there might be some preparations before the ceremony, which would make it more difficult to sneak in too late, I agreed with Hill to enter the game at around 11 o'clock. It was not too late now.

He lifted the quilt and went outside the room to eavesdrop on the noise.

I breathed a sigh of relief only after I was sure that my aunt and the others had gone to bed. But then I thought about it again and felt that it was not safe, so I took a piece of white paper and put it on the gap under the door, then went back to the bed and activated the access device.

The light effect of the access device when it is activated may not be very visible during the day, but it is more obvious in the dark. This makes me feel fortunate for my foresight, but the sound during startup is unavoidable.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Looking at the access device connecting the data, I couldn't help but clench my fists nervously.

It seemed like just a moment before, but now it feels so long for some unknown reason.
