The Devil Inside

There is no way to chat today!

Viola was triumphant and elated.

She drew her red lips together and smiled, "Han Solo, please treat me to a meal. I'm a little hungry."

Han Solo said, "Auschwitz Restaurant, please!"

"...There's no need to spend so much money." Viola shook her head. "I know a restaurant with good food."

Han Solo waved his hand, already sending out his messenger to send a message to Beckett.

Chapter 77 #077 Cornflower

As Arendelle's "Logistics Support Commissioner", Beckett has a lot of influence among the city's merchants.

Han Solo was going to send him a message, asking how to dine at the Auschwitz Restaurant. If he could help, that would be even better—

Several shadows emerged and restrained the Hundred-Eyed Terrier.

It was Viola who cast the spell.

Rachel was a little surprised.

After the messenger was released, although he could see it with his eyes, he was actually in the virtual world. Under the barrier of the boundary, spells could not affect the messenger.

And Viola did it, easily.

"...The power of the Lady of Night? Viola is really amazing."

Rachel thought to herself.

the other side.

Intercepting the courier, Viola smiled and said to Han Solo: "I'm kidding you, you're such a boring man. You can go to Auschwitz, but not today. Make an appointment with me next time - after you buy a decent carriage."

Han Solo just felt that she was difficult, so he just went along with her: "Okay!"

Viola looked at Leila and said, "I want to go back to the association. Everyone, shall we go together?"

Leila smiled and said, "We are going to participate in the brave gathering. The teleportation array is ready and waiting for us to go over."

Is it.

Are you here just to pick me up?

Viola nodded: "Bon voyage."

Long-distance teleportation consumes a lot of energy and is noisy, so a special "teleportation platform" needs to be built. The floating school district is indeed awesome, but considering the impact of violent space fluctuations, Arendelle's teleportation platform was built in the outer city.

Leila and the others walked towards the teleportation platform, while Viola went to the floating school district alone.

She admired Han Solo.

Her words just now were a little impolite, maybe even meant to be difficult, but that was actually an expression of "friendliness".

She is the kind of person who can easily curse people as "common people" and "low-born" and is extremely arrogant.

If she didn't have some feelings for Han Solo, she would have taken out the yellow card on the forum and scolded Han Solo so much that he was at a loss, or ignored him as if he were air.

She had a personal experience of Diana's strength; that was definitely the strongest enemy she had ever faced since her debut.

Let’s look at Han Solo.

With such a low level and such strong combat power, he could launch an oppressive attack with only an iron sword despite the absolute power gap.

Not everyone has this performance.

Viola believes that as long as Han Solo does not give up or die halfway, the title of "Sword Master" will be his.

but.

What makes Viola most satisfied is——

She turned her head and looked at Han Solo's back: "You know the situation and are very clear-headed. I like that about you."

In the past two years, Viola has been out for training and has been employed by various adventure groups.

To be honest, it was not a pleasant experience.

When faced with emergencies or in a tough battle, even if she repeatedly ordered them and made it clear that "leave it to me", they would not leave easily, insisting on staying and getting in the way.

Adventurers with a little bit of strength always have an inexplicable arrogance, and this phenomenon is more common in more famous adventure groups.

Viola reflected afterwards.

She thought it was because she was too gorgeous and charming.

Those men...

Blinded by the strange masculinity, she lost her basic judgment and could not recognize the huge gap in strength between her and them. She was unwilling to admit the fact that "their staying would be useless and would only distract Viola."

There is no difference between male and female engravers, only differences in strength.

It's funny no matter how you think about it to see a rooster spreading its wings and trying to fight side by side with a female leopard.

Viola thinks it would be a pleasure to work with Han Solo.

But not now.

Han Solo is too weak now and is not qualified to stand by her side.

A carriage drove slowly and stopped in front of Viola.

The door of the carriage opened, and a short-haired woman wearing leather hot pants got out of the car and saluted respectfully: "Ms. Viola, are you going back to the floating school district? Please get in the car."

Viola frowned, her face full of disgust.

……

……

Fraud, robbery, assassination.

Riots, subversion, coups.

It is easy for people to associate the "Thieves Guild" with some dark words. It is a notorious organization that has been severely cracked down by various countries but has never been able to completely eliminate it.

The important reason why they can't be killed off is that the Thieves Guild has been sublimated.

It is no longer a specific organization, but a totem, a symbol.

No matter who founded a group or how big it is, as long as its goal is to make quick money and do some lucrative no-cost business, it can call itself a "Thieves Guild."

sometimes.

There are seven or eight thieves' guilds in one city, all claiming to be orthodox.

In this situation, law enforcement agencies have no idea where to start, as the market is full of fakes and the real ones are nowhere to be found.

The origins of the Thieves Guild are unknown.

What is certain is that the "Lady of the Night" was once the leader of the guild. Under her leadership, this evil organization grew stronger and eventually helped her overthrow the orthodoxy and usurp the throne.

In the time that follows.

The digital "Lady of the Night Engraver" also successfully stole the country with the support of the real union.

"Shadow Chief of Staff".

As the regional controller of the Thieves Guild, law enforcement agencies in various countries know that only by arresting the Shadow Chief of Staff can they really catch the big fish.

now.

The short-haired woman standing in front of Viola is one of the Shadow Chiefs of Staff. Her code name is "Cornflower".

Viola ignored Cornflower's invitation and walked straight ahead.

Cornflower followed closely and said, "Miss, I have made great progress in my work recently! I have won over a senior official in Arendelle, and he promised to give us full support. If you are willing to accept my loyalty, I can tell you who this senior official is."

Viola remained silent.

Cornflower continued, "In fact, that senior official revealed some very important information. I used my power to investigate and found something incredible! It can be said that Arendelle is in a huge crisis. With our help, you can become the hero who saves Arendelle. Of course, the prerequisite is that you become our king."

"Shut up! You dirty shady rat."

Viola hated it so much that she started cursing.

"A dark rat? Indeed. I am the chief of staff of the Shadow Curtain, and in the eyes of the world, I am guilty of many crimes. But young lady, we have considerable power, believe me - you will indulge in the convenience we bring you."

"……Ugh."

Viola was also convinced.

She stopped and looked at the short-haired woman with a smile on her face: "Listen to me, Cornflower. I don't doubt your ability. This world lacks everything except conspirators and ambitious people. They will not exclude you and your colleagues. The Thieves Guild is well-known.

"Go and assist them, and they will give you fine clothes, delicious food, high positions and generous salaries.

"I don't understand. I have rejected you three times, why don't you give up? I don't mind saying it again, I have no interest in the future you describe! I don't want to be the queen, do you understand?"

Cornflower just smiled.

She looked at Viola with sarcasm in her eyes: "Miss Viola, how long are you going to deceive yourself? Do you need me to explain to you...what kind of setbacks you have suffered in the past two years and your current situation?"

Viola's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Chapter 78 #078 Fort Collins

“It’s just a piece of paper, but its symbolic meaning is so strong that people mistake it for some kind of truth.”

Paper money has already appeared on the continent of Zelmon, but people still use metal currency more often.

Viola needed money, lots of it.

Damn it, my ancestors were incompetent and all the huge family fortune was squandered.

In order to maintain a wealthy life, they mortgaged the land to various capital groups without caring about the lives of their descendants.

It started with some unimportant land: an orchard, a pasture, a woodland.

In the end, even the ports, markets, and even tax revenues were sold!

There must be a conspiracy here.

Someone with ulterior motives secretly designed a plan to induce Viola's grandfather to mortgage the property for loan.

But what can be done?

It was clearly written in black and white, the contract was legally binding, and the king was on the side of the capital group. No one sympathized with the Viola family's situation, and even if there was, they could not help. The rest were just sneering and taking advantage of the situation.

Viola's father tried many things, but to no avail.

All the hopes of the family rest on Viola alone.

She needed money, lots of it.

Those lands and assets, after all, belong to her family. As long as she pays enough money, she can redeem them...

Her family will be able to get back on track.

In terms of combat capability alone, Viola is already in the top tier and is also a noble spellcaster.

Under normal circumstances, she could seek important positions in any country.

With power, money is not a problem, but her gift is "Lady of the Night" and she has a very high affinity.

The Lady of the Night gave her enough talents and also imposed a curse.

No country extended an olive branch to her. Instead, they were wary of her like a thief. There was no way she could advance in her career.

Viola took the initiative to seek change.

She entered the adventurer industry under the guise of "practical training" and conducted personal inspections.

After some research, she believed that the adventurer industry was indeed a highly profitable industry. The profitability of the top adventure groups was extremely exaggerated, with annual turnover reaching hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

However, after thousands of years of development, the top adventure groups have already been saturated.

The blue ocean has turned into a red ocean, and now it is a fierce battle in the existing market. A new adventure group will not be able to make it if it does not have the support of a national-level force behind it.

She tried to join the group with her skills, contacted several quasi-first-line adventure groups, used her high skills as a guarantee, became a partner of the adventure group, and enjoyed dividends.

But what she didn't expect was...

The effects of “Lady of the Night” are so transcendent.
