In a casual reply, Mani pondered just how strong the attacks would be if Maginus were targeted by the Bloodstained Society.

According to the rules of the Bloodstained Order, someone should have attacked the girl every night for the past five days. In addition, given Maginus's troublesome special ability, the Bloodstained Order will not stop unless she leaves Red Sparrow City.

The assassin's strength is gradually increasing, and by the fifth day, he should be an enemy I can't handle. It seems Miss Ilsis is very strong.

"Please come up to the stage in order of your seating to receive your magic items."

Just as Mani was pondering just how strong she was, the person in charge ordered the professionals to come up on stage to receive their magical items, while he and Maginus, who could be said to have no power, were placed at the very back.

After everyone in front had finished choosing, Mani gestured for the girl to choose first. Maginus didn't stand on ceremony and went up to the stage to look at the props with descriptions in front of her.

Just as she had expected, there were no powerful magical items on the table; the Lauta family certainly wouldn't be willing to bring them out.

After careful consideration, she finally chose a kettle that could magically produce a pot of water every day. A pot of water wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either, and it was indeed very useful when needed.

Maginus hasn't tried stopping drinking water yet, so she doesn't know if water is necessary for her, but Neko is different and definitely needs to replenish her fluids.

Having chosen her magical items and received her reward, she turned and walked outside. The person in charge tried to persuade her to stay again, but she refused once more.

After putting the kettle into her dimensional bag, Maginus searched the streets for a tavern with distinctive dishes.

Eating is not necessary for her. With her current physical condition, she could probably absorb even grass, and she might not even need to eat.

But eating, especially delicious food, made Maginus feel, to some extent, that he was truly alive.

I found a restaurant that sells grilled fish, ordered some food to take away, and while I was waiting, two familiar figures walked in from outside the door.

A white-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes and a dashing black-haired boy entered the restaurant, loudly calling for the waiter to come and take their orders, their eyes subconsciously shifting as they observed their surroundings.

Yue Liang and Yue Qian froze almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the white-haired girl sitting at the bar.

Noticing their gazes, Maginus turned to look at her two old friends, nodded calmly, and then turned back to stare blankly.

"Is it her?"

Yue Liang asked his younger sister in a low voice, and Yue Qian nodded solemnly and said, "Judging from the aura, it is very likely to be her."

They couldn’t tell from her aura that the white-haired girl was Maginus, but they had spoken with her before and learned that she was likely to come to Red Sparrow City.

With Maginot's transformation ability, and given their preconceived notions, the two of them naturally felt that the white-haired girl was very likely her.

"Let's pretend we don't know each other?" "Okay, let's pretend we don't know each other. Her questions are just too troublesome."

The brother and sister reached an agreement, turned their attention away from Maginot and pretended not to know her at all, and ordered their food from the waiter.

The girl showed no intention of acknowledging them, took her food and left the restaurant. The two sides passed each other by, not knowing when they would meet again.

Yue Liang and Yue Qian breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject. Yue Liang tapped the knife and fork in his hand and asked:

"By the way, if we really take this commission, the Bloodstained Society will be a real problem."

“Miss Rosley Holly has helped us so much, it wouldn’t hurt for her to be our bodyguard. We’ll dress more conservatively, and the Bloodstained Gang might not recognize us.”

Yueqian blinked her heterochromatic eyes in response to her brother:

"Besides, didn't Miss Rosley say that it's still uncertain whether the Bloodstained Society will actually assassinate her? We're just acting as insurance, a more discreet form of insurance."

"Alright, you've thought it through more deeply than I have. You can consider it."

The older brother shook his head, while the younger sister gave him a disdainful look: "It's because you don't want to think about these things. If you really wanted to consider these things, you would definitely be much more thorough than me."

Back home, Maginus shared half of the grilled fish with Neko, who ate with great relish, devouring all three large fish in no time. She licked her lips with a hint of dissatisfaction and turned her gaze to the girl's portion.

Maginos pushed her fish over, picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth, carefully tasting its flavor and feeling the saltiness and spiciness on her tongue.

"Master, when will those bastards stop beating us?!"

After eating and drinking its fill, Neko lay on the ground, stretching vigorously, its head bobbing up and down, its tail swishing in the air.

"Once the bloodshed in Red Sparrow City is completely eradicated, or I scare them into submission, get to training. I didn't buy you here so you could enjoy life."

Maginus gathered up the leftovers on the table and tossed them aside. He stood up, drew his longsword, aimed it at Neko, and slowly attacked her.

With a powerful leap, she rolled and jumped forward, drawing a dagger from her waist and tossing it into the air. Grasping the curved blade with both hands, she landed facing Maginus, already in a fighting stance.

As the dagger fell, she swung her tail to grab the handle, a wild glint in her eyes.

"What I lack now is a foundation, so I might as well continue my hypnosis training."

Neko said with dissatisfaction, but Maginus did not respond and instead thrust his sword straight at her.

She needs to train not only her inner moves, but also some of her resistances, such as... Killing Aura and Fear Aura.

Chapter 291 Faith

"Wait, I'm from the Bloodstained Society's management. I'm sure I have something you need."

With a single sword thrust piercing the heart of the attacking assassin, Maginus ignored him completely.

Judging from his strength and equipment alone, it's clear that he holds a fairly high position in the Bloodstained Society; at least he's quite good at stealth. It's a pity he ran into her.

The management of the Bloodstained Society.

Maginus searched his clothes and found a small dimensional bag containing a lot of information related to the Bloodstained Society.

After flipping through the items briefly, the uninterested girl took them and walked outside. A short while later, she returned to the Lusty Lips Ball area, easily made her way to the top floor, and handed the items to a succubus disguised as a human.

“Miss Ilsis,” the scantily clad dancer called out to the girl, “Miss Laura may need your help later. Could you please assist us?”

"And what about the reward?" Maginus neither explicitly refused nor explicitly agreed.

"Hehe, a magical piece of equipment, plus a reward."

"I agreed, as long as it's not something too evil."

Having accepted the commission, Maginus made no demands, only asking them to restrain themselves. At least for now, Maginus was not prepared to become an enemy of the Prime Material Plane.

The dancer covered her mouth with her hand and smiled seductively: "Please rest assured, it's not anything evil."

Back home, Neko came up to him curiously and asked, "Master, that man said he was in management. Does that mean no one will cause trouble anymore?"

"We should be safe until I'm called in by other families to investigate the crimes they committed later."

Maginus answered the catwoman's question, saying that the loss of a stronghold and a management team was quite significant. After being besieged by the Lauta family, the Bloodstained Society already had far fewer members, and the mid-to-high-level members wouldn't make any moves lightly.

After the middle management learns of this, they will most likely try to keep quiet for now, since judging from the information and intelligence the girl obtained from Blood-Eyed Uvrak, there are still many targets that Bloodstained will try to assassinate.

"Oh! That's great! Let's sleep together tonight!"

"I have something to do today, so go lie down in the basement by yourself."

Maginus declined Neko's invitation; she had more important things to do, becoming stronger was her main task, and playing with Neko was just a diversion.

After shooing away the disappointed catwoman, Maginus draws the Ghis Yankee Silver Sword in the bedroom and speaks with the Mind Flayer and the Ghis Yankees inside.

“Mr. Mind Flayer, let’s continue our discussion about the gods. It seems like it’s been a long time since we last talked about them.”

You seem to have a lot to do, but can you really manage it all?

The Mind Flayer "kindly" reminded her that Maginus had far too many tasks: power, revenge, and divinity, and these tasks could be further subdivided into even more objectives.

It doubted whether Maginus could handle it all, and there was a high possibility that she would be overwhelmed, since the girl did not know emulation and could not multitask.

“It was just a brief discussion about the gods,” Maginus said, her expression unchanged. “If one day I completely claim the divinity in my soul as my own and eliminate any hidden dangers, what should I do next?”

You shouldn't ask me about mind flayers. While we mind flayers may have our own deities, there's no consensus on the concept of deities within the group.

"Maybe?"

That's right, it doesn't control us, and we're not even sure if it really exists. Apart from the legendary K, no so-called non-god has ever left a trace in our history.

"A god who isn't a god... Mr. Githyanki, do you know what your queen did to become a god?"

I don't know; this is a highly confidential matter, one that even the Queen's personal guards could not possibly know.

The Gith Yankees responded coldly, but not in any way. The Gith Yankees Queen's actions were very secretive; all they knew was…

Wait, if we really have to say, there is.

He spoke again, his tone somewhat uncertain.

Her Majesty the Queen proclaims herself as the god of us Gisyanki, and some people do indeed regard her as a god, but most simply see her as a respectable queen.

Queen, deity... related to faith?

Haha, it's something related to faith.

The Mind Flayer chimed in.

Since our mind-stealing deity is not involved in affairs, he once thought that K was just a kind of doctrine and symbol, and it has not been determined to this day whether K really exists.

"Existence, faith, divinity..."

Maginus muttered to herself as the psychic blade in her hand exploded, turning into prisms that floated in the air. Under her influence, they slowly coalesced back into a psychic blade, collapsing again just before completion, but with a higher degree of completeness than before.

“I possess divinity; I am the son of a god. This is something that queen cannot attain and desires. But how should I utilize these qualities?”

After speaking with the two old men, Maginus put the matter to rest in her heart, needing to deal with the fragments of the two gods' spirits in her spiritual dream first.

Creating a Nen Blade, shattering a Nen Blade, repairing a Nen Blade, creating a Nen Blade...

Short swords, long swords, and greatswords took shape and shattered in his hands time and time again, and the degree of their eventual repair became more and more perfect.

If anyone were present, they would notice an unsettling, sticky sensation gradually appearing around Maginus. This stickiness originates from the spiritual realm and is a result of being influenced by psychic energy.

"The person is dead?" The wealthy businessman held the letter in his hand, somewhat incredulous.

He looked at the intelligence report sent by his subordinates, which stated that the people who had previously reported to him had entered the haunted house and never come out again; ninety-nine percent of them had been dealt with by "Ilsis".

The wealthy businessman stared at the intelligence report in silence for a long time before waving his hand and saying, "Forget about Ilsis. We have another mission to do. From today onwards, you are in charge of that base."

"Yes."

The assassin, who was originally the second-in-command, showed a look of joy, but his expression quickly turned serious, and he even looked somewhat frightened.

There was no other way. The boss had explained the Bloodstained Society's plan, and just from hearing it, it was clear that this operation was suicidal, as it would provoke all four major families of Red Sparrow City at once.

The mission's objective is to kill the heirs of the Holly, Jackson, and Frye families, and the Bloodstained Society of Red Sparrow will be mobilized.

Can I still quit?

Leaving the house, the assassin revealed a bitter smile. He had already signed a pact with the Bloodstained Society and could no longer escape.

Now we can only hope that the aid that the Bloodstained Society can get from other kingdoms will be sufficient.

Chapter 292 Going to the Banquet with the Succubus

In the dead of night, the Bloodstained Guild's support team disguised themselves as an ordinary caravan and slowly drove their wagons toward Red Sparrow City.

Upon arriving at the open gate, the caravan leader, without waiting for the city gate guards to ask any questions, took out a small bag of silver coins from his pocket and stuffed it into the guard captain's hand.

"Sir, we're just a small business, we hope you can give us your support."

The caravan leader smiled and said this, then led the captain of the guard to the back of the carriage. The captain weighed the bag in his hand, lifted the curtain and opened the wooden box, which contained grain.

He reached down and brushed some leaves aside, revealing what he recognized. He gave the leader a sly smile and nodded, "Um, do we have permission?"

He wasn't referring to the official permits issued by Red Bird City, but rather to some clandestine, illicit licenses.

"Of course."

The merchant pulled a gilded booklet from his pocket. The captain of the guard opened it, glanced at it, and then stepped aside with satisfaction: "Please come in. I wish you a pleasant stay in Red Sparrow City."

"Will do."

The merchant responded naturally, then turned and gave a mocking smile before pulling his carriage into Red Sparrow City.

Just after they had moved far from the city gate, a lazy voice came from the caravan in the center: "Hmph, is this Red Sparrow City? The defenses are completely incompetent."

"After all, with each party holding the other back, it's unlikely that anyone would set their sights on the entire city."

The merchant, responding to the gatekeeper's reply, solemnly reminded him again: "We're here to help this time. Remember not to cause trouble. There are more legends in Red Sparrow City than you think. If any of you really mess with someone, don't come back for help."

"Just say it openly and honestly. Don't worry, my bloodlust has almost subsided after slaughtering that village."

A lazy male voice responded from inside the carriage. Just as the merchant was about to continue speaking, the carriage suddenly trembled, and a murderous intent emanated from it!

"What? You're having another attack?"

His killing intent subsided, and his voice became heavy, even somewhat hoarse: "There are guys like me in Red Sparrow City."

Upon hearing this news, the Bloodstained Society members disguised as merchants immediately narrowed their eyes.

……

A god of slaughter is approaching Red Sparrow City.

It's true that divine beings can be attracted to each other.
