If she knew, she would probably just sigh at the fickleness of fate.
At the same time, shortly after Tirana returned, Meng, who had disappeared for a night, also returned to the manor.
But unlike the cold darkness that lingered around her when she left, she now looked a little dazed, as if she had suffered a major blow.
After returning to her room silently again, Meng picked up the broken teddy bear she had thrown away, took out her tool kit and began to repair it with lifeless eyes.
"How could it be... How could a guy like him die... I haven't killed him yet, how could he die..."
Looking at the teddy bear in her hand whose neck she had strangled herself, tears began to gather in Meng's dim and lifeless eyes as she repaired the crack on the teddy bear's neck stitch by stitch.
Not long after, the crisp sound of water drops falling on the floor was heard, and Meng kept muttering, "You're lying. He must have hidden himself on purpose to trick me."
However, the sound of water dripping became more and more frequent, and soon it gathered into a small puddle on the floor.
It turned out that when she was looking for Yuan in her dream last night, she learned from the conversations of many nobles who had not yet fallen asleep that some cultists had captured the 25 candidate saints of the Temple of Light. At first, she did not care, but just silently pursued Yuan's breath in the streets.
However, after hearing the news that Tirana angrily destroyed a cult stronghold, she suddenly thought of something, and then began to inquire about information, and finally found the cult stronghold that had been destroyed by Tirana.
It was also there that an item that Yuan had accidentally left behind was found: her white silk.
That was when Yuan left Aunt Shalini's room and accidentally met Meng who was working. He then forcibly snatched Meng's white silk from her legs, and put it in his pocket, saying that he wanted to keep it.
Although the white silk was already tattered, Meng still recognized it at a glance. It was definitely the one she wore in the morning.
Seeing the white silk, Meng's brain was instantly confused. Thinking of Tirana's furious behavior, Meng's mind instantly thought of a terrible possibility:
"Yuan was sacrificed by the evil cultists!"
After all, she had been in a cult before and had visited several cult sacrifice activities. The objects or creatures being sacrificed would often disappear without a trace. The fact that Yuan's breath was cut off without any warning here was consistent with the situation after being sacrificed.
Afterwards, she spent the entire night frantically searching the ruins of the cult's stronghold, hoping to find some trace that could prove that Yuan had not yet been sacrificed.
Unfortunately, apart from the torn white silk, there was no other trace left.
It was not until she returned to the manor at dawn and Yuan still hadn't shown up that she became completely desperate.
Chapter 329: The Dream of Leaving
"Lady Anna, for some reasons, I plan to... resign."
When the morning sun awakened the people in the manor and made the dormant manor start to operate again, the dream that had been silent in his room for a long time finally repaired the broken teddy bear.
Then, when the maids were preparing to start a new day's work, Meng quietly found the head maid Anna and tendered her resignation.
Anna was very curious as she looked at the expressionless girl standing in front of her:
"Why? Are you unhappy at work?"
This girl named Meng was the most beautiful among the newly recruited maids, and also the one who performed the best in terms of work and manners.
If she could continue to work in the manor, Anna wouldn't mind training her as the next head maid.
Although judging from Meng's ability, her original purpose of applying for the maid position might not be very pure, but after getting to know her for so many days, Anna could see that she liked this job very much and also liked the peaceful daily life here.
As long as Meng is willing to let go of the past, Anna believes that Meng will devote herself wholeheartedly to her current work and life and become an excellent maid.
But I didn't expect that Meng would choose to resign so soon.
Is it because her mission here is accomplished?
Or did the power behind her notice her change and force her to go back?
But no matter what the reason, Anna felt that there was no need for Meng to resign. With her master's identity and the power behind her, she could completely keep Meng and let the force from which Meng came voluntarily give up Meng and give Meng freedom.
And if the investigation results are correct, Meng is also an orphan with a relatively introverted personality, and he should not have family members or friends who are controlled by the other party.
But Meng did not directly answer Anna's question. He just shook his head slowly and said indifferently:
"Whether Lady Anna agrees with my resignation or not, I will leave soon. I'm sorry, I've been very happy working here these days. Thank you for your care."
After saying that, Meng turned and left.
Anna did not try to persuade her to stay. She stood up silently, took out the maid list, and then deleted Meng's name from the list.
Although she admires Meng very much, it does not mean that Meng is that important to her. If Meng wants to resign, at most she will feel a little regretful, but not too much.
Afterwards, Anna ordered someone to send twenty gold coins to Meng as travel expenses and salary for the period.
She didn't reject this dream. She did need some money for travel expenses and living expenses when she returned.
After leaving Anna, Meng came to Rita again. At this time, Rita had just got up and was about to wash up and start working.
She didn't know the news of Yuan's disappearance at this time, so her little face was still filled with joy and anticipation, and she hummed an unknown tune to clear her mouth.
To give Brother Yuan a good morning kiss, your mouth must be clean~
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the voice of Meng coming from outside the room, Rita immediately trotted to open the door:
"rai~ra~"
Holding something like a toothbrush in her mouth, Rita ran out of the bathroom in slippers and opened the door for Meng.
Seeing Meng, Rita was very happy, her big eyes smiled like a pair of crescent moons:
"Urn, find me~"
"Morning, Rita..."
Seeing Rita's smiling face, Meng rarely smiled at her, but there was more sadness and reluctance in his eyes.
However, Rita, who was always thick-skinned, didn't notice these things. She opened the door and invited Meng in:
"Urn, let's get some air in.
Then he turned around and ran back to the bathroom to rinse his mouth.
But when she turned around, she was stopped by Meng. In the face of Rita's puzzled gaze, Meng forced a smile and said:
"No need, Rita, I just came to see you, I'm leaving first, bye..."
Then, before Rita could figure out what was going on, Meng had already let go of her hand and left Rita's room.
Rita was left with a confused look on her face, watching Meng gradually disappear from her sight.
"Dream about her, it's so strange today..."
Looking at Meng's disappearing back, Rita's big eyes were full of confusion.
But soon, Rita put her doubts behind her and continued to happily clean her mouth which she was going to use for sex.
Anyway, I'll see you again at Brother Yuan's place later~
However, when Rita finished washing up and walked happily towards Yuan, Meng had already arrived at the waiting hall of the public airship, ready to leave the imperial city.
……
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Meng returned to the small town where she grew up, and to the orphanage that was full of unhappy memories.
Seeing Meng coming back, the director of the orphanage did not show any joy, but asked coldly:
"Mission completed? Where's the reward? Give it to me."
"The task was not completed and the employer cancelled it."
After looking at the director of the orphanage, Meng replied expressionlessly and then walked back to her room.
Upon hearing this, the director of the orphanage did not say much. Although Meng was very talented, he had failed before, so the director of the orphanage did not take Meng's failure this time too seriously. He just felt a little regretful that he could not get the huge reward that was beyond the norm.
As for whether Meng would lie and hide the reward, they naturally had a way to check.
He is just a money-making tool with some talent. The organization has plenty of ways to control him.
After taking a look at Meng's departing back, the director of the orphanage casually reminded Meng:
"Keep a low profile recently. News just came from above that the Ice Dragon Queen Tilana seems to be slaughtering Abyss believers in the Chris Empire for some reason. In order to avoid being implicated, it is best not to make too much noise."
Although they are not apostles of the abyss, they are also a cult organization in the eyes of ordinary people. It would be terrible if they offended someone because of something they did too much. Therefore, the top leaders of the organization urgently notified all bases to cease activities recently and keep quiet for a while.
Meng naturally knew what made Tilana so angry, but she didn't say much to the director of the orphanage. She just replied "I know" and went back to her room.
In her mind, everyone here is already dead. Why explain so much to the dead?
Meng didn't know whether Tirana would vent her anger on them, but she knew that she would!
The purpose of her return this time was to destroy this cult stronghold.
Of course, her current strength is not enough to kill the top leaders in the stronghold, so she still needs some help.
Thinking of this, Meng once again took out the dagger with strange runes attached to it. This was something she had obtained during a sacrificial event organized by her organization.
At that time, no one noticed the dagger that appeared inexplicably in her hand...
Chapter 330: Dark Apostle
As for the origin of the dagger, it is probably related to the god worshipped by the organization that Meng belongs to.
The organization she is in calls itself the Chaos Holy Church, and outsiders call it the Dark Cult. They believe in the Dark Goddess.
The Goddess of Darkness is a powerful god who has been fighting against the Goddess of Light for many years. Her strength is absolutely T0 among all the goddesses and is not weaker than the Goddess of Light. Her full title should actually be "Goddess of Darkness and Chaos", and the corresponding one is "Goddess of Light and Order".
The dagger in Meng's hand suddenly appeared in her hand when the dark cult was performing a sacrificial ceremony, and the dagger became one with her. The believers of the dark goddess had no idea that she, a little tool who was just eavesdropping, had actually received the goddess's gift.
However, after obtaining this dagger, she rarely used it, because although this dagger could bring her great power, it also kept bewitching her mind and trying to make her convert to darkness. Every time she killed someone with this dagger, her power would increase, but the darkness in her heart would also increase. So unless it was necessary, she would never use this dagger.
What she had always wanted was to leave the organization and live a peaceful daily life, rather than becoming a zombie wandering in the dark all day for power.
Although she was in darkness before, she had always longed for light in her heart. But now, she finally saw hope and lived the life she had always wanted. However, she did not expect that this light would go out again soon after it had just lit up.
Although she has always "hated" Yuan, she also regards Yuan as her salvation. She believes that as long as Yuan needs her, she can continue to enjoy this rare happiness.
However, this happiness disappeared so suddenly...
How could she accept returning to darkness after having finally experienced the light?
But unfortunately, her light has completely disappeared, leaving no trace, and the light in her heart has also been extinguished, leaving her completely trapped in endless darkness...
So, if that's the case, why not embrace the darkness completely and kill those who dragged her into the darkness...
In the room, Meng looked at the dagger that had helped her escape death many times. The light in her eyes slowly disappeared, and then she fell completely into deep darkness.
【A wise choice】
As a voice suddenly appeared in Meng's mind from nowhere, her aura began to grow rapidly inexplicably, and her rank broke through continuously. After just a few seconds, she, who was originally at the gold rank of over one hundred, had become a four hundred and thirty level extraordinary being.
Although not very strong, at least he has no problem killing all the dark believers in this stronghold.
And her occupation has now changed to:
【Dark Apostle】
……
The day after the news spread that Tilana had wiped out dozens of cult strongholds in the Chris Empire overnight.
In a dark corner of the continent, a group of mysterious people in black robes were gathered together, discussing this matter.
"Damn that mother dragon! How can she be so idle? Because of what she did, our plan will be delayed again!"
A man in black spoke angrily, his voice sounding like someone from the palace who had been stabbed, and there seemed to be phlegm stuck in his throat.
As soon as he finished speaking, another man in black, whose voice sounded like a loudspeaker with reverberation turned on, and was a man and a woman talking together (please refer to the Collapse of Three Thousand Rules), said with disdain:
"Crow, can you change your voice? It makes me so uncomfortable."
Then, another man in black said:
"Fox, your voice isn't much better. Also, I heard from my informant that the female dragon seemed to have a lover in the Chris Empire, but somehow her lover suddenly disappeared.
It seems that the reason for the disappearance is related to the fact that Vulture and his men are offering sacrifices to the candidate saint of the Temple of Light, so the female dragon went crazy and looked for our base to vent her anger. I don’t know why Vulture, the killer, casually involved outsiders! "
His voice is much more normal except that it is a little hoarse.
When the black-clothed man called Crow heard that Tirana was looking for trouble with them because of her "mistress", he became even angrier and shouted in his clogged duck voice:
"Humph, doesn't that female dragon like to find a mistress? When our plan succeeds, I will beat that female dragon mercilessly and then rape her, so that she can have a taste of my power!"
I just don't know whether his anger was caused by his plan being hindered or because he heard that Tirana had a mistress.
The other men in black did not comment on what Crow said. They looked at him strangely and laughed oddly twice.
His words were then met with disdainful sneers from the man in black known as the Fox:
"You only dare to say a few words in front of us. If you have the guts, go and say it in front of others. They will either tear off your head and use it as a urinal, or I will chop off my head and give it to you to use!"
