Witch, don't be so lazy

Of course, the premise of all this is that Encore is right.

"Just pretend nothing happened for now. Don't attend any salons or tea parties she organizes... We can discuss this matter slowly when we get back."

Matika waved her hand and said nothing more.

"it is good."

Anko nodded.

Castro next to them had no idea what the two were talking about, but Momo looked as if she was thinking about something.

Could it be that the fortress was really breached from the inside?

But the third-level city lord is still there, and Kunda is not an ordinary third-level one. If he really dares to cause trouble in the city, isn’t he courting death?

Chapter 101 Planning the Fin Umbrella SiIX Chess Three

Although she began to notice the changes in Estherine, Matika had more important things to do right now.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild, two mages were already waiting there. They hurried forward to greet the old woman, exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then the group left in a hurry.

"The old woman just got off the bus and left without even saying goodbye. Is she heading out of the city?"

Momo asked curiously, "What are they going to do in such a hurry?"

It is estimated that traces of vampires have been discovered again around the ruins of Taiqir. Some time ago, An Ke often saw President Matika and those mages going out frequently.

It's a bit frustrating to say, even though more than a month has passed, the progress on the ruins is very slow.

Although no one told Anke the specific details, Anke knew some general information through the occasional chats and complaints of the mages.

It is said that the vampire of the Disaster Cult is very cautious and cunning. It seems to have realized that its conspiracy has been exposed and that someone is targeting it, so it did not blindly rush into the trap set by the wizards.

But it was reluctant to give up the blood feast ceremony that it had prepared with so much difficulty, and often wandered around the ruins, commanding the trolls to harass adventurers, trying to make a big noise to disrupt the arrangements, and then look for an opportunity to complete the ceremony.

The two sides remained deadlocked for a while.

Of course, the mages of the Adventurer's Guild were not stupid. They were only in a stalemate on the surface. In fact, after realizing that the trap was useless, they had already begun to secretly dispatch personnel and supplies, and cooperate with other forces, intending to flatten the troll tribe first.

That was all Anke knew, and she wasn't sure if she could tell Momo, so she turned to look at Castro, who had more experience than her.

The latter thought for a moment and explained:

"Maybe there's been trouble again at the Tekir Ruins. Those trolls living nearby are so abominable, they attack passing adventurers at the drop of a hat. The guild leader and his men are probably rushing over to calm things down and teach those brainless guys a lesson."

Considering that Momo was an outsider, Cutter did not tell the real story, but just used the rumors circulating among adventurers to cover it up.

"Oh."

Momo blinked.

"Speaking of which, since Miss Momo is a two-star pharmacist, if you're willing, you could consider providing some high-level potions to the Adventurer's Guild. We can provide the compensation and materials..."

"I don't want to."

Castro was bluntly interrupted before he could finish his words, forcing him to laugh awkwardly, end the topic with "That's a pity", then say goodbye and leave.

It was already very late.

An Ke glanced at Momo, who was also staring at her with wide eyes.

"Don't follow me. I'm going to practice in seclusion. It's useless for you to stand on the balcony opposite. You can't see anything through the window."

After saying this, An Ke thought the other party would continue to do as he pleased.

But in fact.

"Oh, Momo also happens to be busy."

real or fake?

"Are you targeting someone else?"

An Ke couldn't help but ask. After all, the other party had been harassing her under the pretext of assessment. It was impossible for them to target only her.

"Hmm? I've already seen the others, only you are left."

Momo tilted her head.

Compared to the less famous Encore, the information about the other two geniuses in Asda City was very easy to collect and verify, and she had completed it long ago.

As for the result, all we can say is that unless a miracle happens in the remaining two months, they will definitely not be able to enter the Tower Academy.

"So what are you going to do? Cause trouble?"

Anke stared at the other person warily.

An outsider who was most likely a second-level wizard, taking advantage of the power shortage in the city, could easily cause some trouble. Although President Matika didn't say it explicitly, Anke could vaguely guess that in order to avoid heavy casualties when attacking the troll tribe, she probably called on other second-level wizards.

"The Lord of Kunda City is a third-level great wizard. He has no visitors. Anyone who dares to interfere will seek his own death."

An Ke was talking nonsense. How could she possibly know the city lord's movements?

Just to scare the other party.

of course.

It didn't scare her at all, but instead made Momo's eyes light up.

"Oh, that's right, An Ke is really smart. You reminded me that I should go talk to your city lord first."

She had originally planned to keep an eye on the old woman named Esther.

Now think about it, since she thinks Kunda is fine, of course she has to reveal her identity and find her senior. It would be a waste not to use this obvious power.

Since there are traces of the Disaster Cult in the area under their jurisdiction, they will more or less pay attention to it.

As long as the biggest local tyrant is dealt with, everything will become very easy, whether it is obtaining intelligence or carrying out subsequent actions.

"Xiao Hui is so stupid. He didn't even remind Momo."

Momo poked the gecko on her shoulder.

"...I reminded you when we first entered the city. At that time, you said that you should first secretly confirm whether the other party has fallen before making contact. Who knew you would forget it later... Forget it, you lose yourself too easily. I won't argue with you."

Xiao Hui said that he would not bother with the contractor.

An Ke naturally didn't know about the conversation between the two.

From her perspective, Momo first said something incomprehensible, then suddenly started teasing the pet, and finally raised her head and stared at her.

"Well, as a reminder...ah, Momo can't arbitrarily interfere with the members taking the assessment. Then remember this for now. Momo is leaving. Bye Encore~"

then.

The hooded girl turned and left, disappearing around the corner of the street a moment later, leaving Encore bewildered.

This guy appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly...

An Ke didn't understand why the other party said he wanted to go find the Lord of Kunda City, but considering that the other party was a two-star pharmacist, he did have the qualifications.

Forget it.

It’s better to focus more on your own progress first.

Anke is now just one step away from upgrading his skills.

[Telekinesis Shield Rune: 9521/10000/Specialization]

Once the promotion is completed, she will consider making some money.

Because her small treasury has shrunk to 200 gold coins. After getting the money, she will buy some props to assist in her practice, and then continue to work hard.

I hope I can continue this cycle forever and stay safe until the magic exam.

Anke walked towards her room while thinking.

……

the other side.

The Page family estate.

The luxurious room is filled with antiques and paintings, Baroque-style orange carpets, velvety armchairs, and elegant fireplace lamps on both sides of the walls.

Most things in the house were very beautiful and exquisite, except for the hideous skull in the middle of the table and the ugly body of the hostess.

Esther was topless and she was looking at herself in the mirror.

The flesh on the aged body was loose and even blackened in places, covered with dark spots of corpse.

This is the price of survival.

She put on her clothes with a sinister look in her eyes, then picked up the skull and injected magic power into it.

After a while, when pale blue flames appeared on the skull, Esther spoke urgently.

"Silver Fang, when can you take action?"

"I feel like I have very little vitality left in my body, and negative energy is constantly accumulating. If you keep dragging this out, I'll be exposed sooner or later!"

The skull kept opening and closing, making creepy sounds.

"Hehe, don't worry, Estherin."

"This is the path you chose, Liu*LiaoII陾沙" (Liu*LiaoII陾沙) ...

Estherin sneered.

"I'm no longer at the age where I care about my appearance. Becoming a vampire will only expose me quickly..."

She paused, a flicker of heat in her eyes.

"Besides, rather than being a blood servant at the beck and call of others, I long to become a free and unfettered corpse wizard, or even go a step further and become an immortal lich!"

The skull shook violently in her hand.

"Of course, of course. Our Calamity Cult needs people like you. You have ambition, desire, and even more ability. By the way, Madam Rose is very grateful for the intelligence you passed on. It allowed her to successfully avoid the wizards' trap. She has already pinned down at least three second-level wizards and attracted the attention of the entire Asda City. Now it's your turn to act."

After hearing this, Esther snorted in disdain.

"I've been prepared for this. Every major power in Asda City has people who have been receiving sweet talk for a long time. I just need to organize another event to activate my hints to them, and they will obey my orders in a short time!"

"I've already taken care of things. Now I'm the one waiting for you, not you waiting for me!"

The skull began to praise.

"Okay, okay, it seems that the things we gave you were not in vain."

"Please wait a little longer until we deliver the stuff. You can start the operation within two weeks at the latest."

Estherine frowned.

"Why wait another two weeks? You're moving too slowly!"

"And are you sure you have a way to fight Kunda? He's a third-level mage. If we don't take him down, all our plans will fail, and we might even lose our lives!"

The skull laughed strangely.

"Of course there is. Didn't you see it with your own eyes? The terrifying evil spirit that bewitched the last head of the Asda family came from our Disaster Cult. You are a survivor of that incident, right?"

"As a sacrifice to the evil spirit, although the ritual wasn't fully completed and only half of the people died, you, the other half who luckily survived, should be able to glimpse the terrifying power of the evil spirit, right?"

"And didn't you, after a thorough investigation, discover that Kunda had actually preserved the evil spirit summoning ritual from back then? Haha, the hero who saved the day at the critical moment actually suffered the most severe contamination afterwards. He even couldn't forget it for years and ran back to Asda City to conduct research."

"This is what we are going to use. We also have a powerful weapon - the Abyss Snake Staff given by Lord Dazis, the Abyss Snake. It alone is enough to fight Kunda. Once we summon the evil spirit later, Kunda will be dead."

"And don't forget, if something goes wrong in Asda City, there will definitely be chaos in the Taiqier Ruins, and Madam Rose will be able to seize the opportunity to complete the Blood Feast. By then, even if there is one more Kunda, we will be sure to win!"

"Once Arthda City is completely destroyed, you will be able to transform into a ghoul with the help of the evil spirits, and I can also use a large amount of negative energy to try to advance. If I have enough energy to spare, I can even help you advance - what a wonderful ending!"

As the skull shouted, Esther trembled with excitement. She took deep breaths one after another, trying hard to keep her words from trembling.

"You... the thing you're sending over is the famous Abyssal Serpent Staff? You plan to let me use it in the city?"

"That's right! Now that you know the truth, you should have enough patience to wait!"

"Of course, of course!"

……

A dark cave southwest of Arstar City.

Looking at the silent skull.

A thin man in a black cloak couldn't help but burst into laughter, revealing his silver teeth:

"Ha, ha ha, she actually believed it, she actually believed it!"
