When the other person came closer, I could see clearly that it was Eve.

Still the familiar classic Victorian maid look.

"Oh, why are you so slow? It's almost starting!"

Eve said this, and without saying a word, she immediately grabbed the hand of Luo Ling, who was closest to her, and ran directly towards the castle.

"Hurry up and catch up!"

The only thing left was her voice.

This sudden change made everyone present stunned for a while. Elsa was the first to move, following Eve and Luo Ling with her short legs.

"Ms. Eve, Ms. Luo Ling, wait for me..."

The sentry did not stop them at this time, but his expression looked a little strange.

Seeing this, Cen Xiangyun gritted her teeth and followed in a rather unladylike manner.

"Come on, eggplant~"

Lu Manqing still had some leisure time, so he took a photo of the two sentinels, and then walked slowly towards the castle.

"Is it really okay to put it in like this? This is the Duke of Ster's dinner party..."

After a long time, one of the sentinels spoke.

"...Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. If the Duke blames us, we can say that it was Miss Eve who forced people in."

The other sentry said expressionlessly that it seemed that this kind of thing had happened more than once before.

They tried to resist, but found that the seemingly pampered Miss Eve was more capable of fighting than them...

"Go back to stand guard and pretend nothing happened."

"Ah."

......

"Is this the place you said...steaks were cooked perfectly?"

Cen Xiangyun sat in the corridor, slightly out of breath. She was not an awakener of the "Judgment" path, and her physical fitness was indeed not comparable to Luo Ling and Eve.

Elsa had already sat on Luo Ling's back, her little face buried so her expression couldn't be seen clearly.

At the end of the corridor was another brightly lit castle, from which some melodious music could be heard.

"Yes," Eve said confidently, with her hands on her hips, "I can guarantee that there is no other place in Victoria that has better steak than this one. If you tell me a lie, I will strike you down!"

"You're right, but... is it really okay?"

Lu Manqing, who arrived late, crossed his arms, looked at Eve's dress, touched his chin and said,

"Ms. Eve, you look like a maid, but if you are really a maid, most likely..."

Before Lu Manqing could finish, a deep voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"Eve St."

As soon as the words fell, Eve, who was trying to find a chance to sneak in, suddenly became frozen.

"broken."

She was just about to take a step and run away like before, but this time it was different, because Luo Ling and others were present.

Luo Ling looked in the direction of the voice out of curiosity. The person coming was a dignified middle-aged man. His straight military uniform and solemn expression revealed that he was a soldier.

Judging from the medal he was wearing and the fact that he called Eve by her name, he should be the owner of the castle, the Duke of St.

"Ahem, Your Excellency the Duke."

Eve turned around, lifted her skirt and bowed in a standard manner.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Duke Ster covered his forehead with his hands, showing a slight headache.

"The guard just reported to me, what do you want to do this time? And bring..."

He looked at Luo Ling and others and frowned slightly.

“I just brought my friends to have a meal...”

Eve said awkwardly.

"I have no objection to you bringing your friends over, but you should at least send an invitation and then hand over a visiting card. This is impolite and will only make people laugh at you."

Duke Ster spoke patiently, but it was obvious that veins on his forehead were slightly popping out.

"It's a last-minute decision. Besides, it's boring to be formal. I won't be able to enjoy my meal." Eve patted her skirt and said seriously, "As long as you change into the maid's clothes, you can eat whatever you want after you go in. Anyway, you can't eat much each time..."

"You..." Duke Ster's expression could almost be described as gritting his teeth, but after a moment, he sighed, "It's up to you, don't go too far."

He looked at Luo Ling and the others. At this time, Cen Xiangyun stepped forward and handed over a business card.

"Your Excellency the Duke, I would like to apologize for our offense this time. I am a descendant of the Cen family. Next time I visit you, I will definitely hand over my visiting card to Your Excellency the Duke first."

"Oh?" Duke Ster showed some interest this time. He took the business card and looked at it. "That merchant family from the East?"

"Ah."

Cen Xiangyun nodded slightly.

The Duke of Stirling's expression softened a little, and he said,

"I also have to apologize. My daughter is naughty by nature. I am afraid that I have frightened all the distinguished guests. Next time, I will send an extra invitation to your house. You don't have to attend the dinner in such an impolite manner like this."

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke."

Cen Xiangyun bowed gracefully.

After Duke Ster looked at Eve with a look of disappointment, he quickly left the scene. As the host of the dinner, he could not leave the table for too long.

"I didn't expect that, Cen Xiangyun, you could be so convincing when you pretend." Lu Manqing elbowed Cen Xiangyun and winked.

She even deliberately imitated Cen Xiangyun and said seriously, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke."

"What the hell..."

Cen Xiangyun really wanted to beat this bitch to death, and even she, who had always been a lady, couldn't help but swear.

"Alright, alright, my dad has passed this test, let's sneak in and eat."

Eve rubbed her hands excitedly. It was hard to imagine that this girl with shifty eyes was the Duke's biological daughter, the eldest lady of the castle.

"Oh and before we go in..."

Eve slapped her head, looked at a few people, and suddenly laughed.

......

"I say, do I have to dress like this?"

Cen Xiangyun pulled at her skirt, feeling quite uncomfortable. She was quite tall and there weren't many skirts that fit her.

"Isn't this great?"

Lu Manqing was still taking pictures secretly. She really liked taking pictures.

The banquet hall was filled with distinguished nobles, and ladies and gentlemen danced hand in hand to the melodious jazz music.

Eve and the others sat in the corner of the hall, eating the food they got from the banquet as if no one was around. Except for Cen Xiangyun who was hesitant and Elsa who poked her head out, the expressions of the others were quite dull.

Luo Ling was still distracted by church matters at the moment and didn't even taste it. When Eve asked him, he just nodded his head.

The other normal maids at the dinner party saw this scene and ignored it.

After all, this is not the first or second time the young lady has done this.

"By the way, have you changed all your commission rewards?"

Eve asked as she chewed her steak.

"Several of us are planning to get points, and Miss Luo Ling... wants the holy medicine." Cen Xiangyun said.

"You want a third-level holy medicine?" Eve looked at Luo Ling in surprise, "Is your strength so poor?"

"Ah? Um... um..."

Luo Ling nodded in response, but the connection was still disconnected.

"That really needs to be improved," Eve sighed, "But, Ms. Luo Ling, I don't know why, but I always feel that you should be quite capable..."

However, it seems that there is no chance to carry out this commission?

Eve was puzzled about this strange commission process. The holy medicine she lost was of great value, and at least the reward for this commission could not make up for the loss.

Eve even went back secretly to investigate the hatchery, but still found nothing.

Eve had a hunch that Luo Ling and his group must be extraordinary, but she couldn't tell which one of them was extraordinary, at least not yet.

This time I invited them to my home... I guess it can be considered as a visit, first of all, it is to get closer to each other, and secondly...

"How about that? Let me lead you guys next time." Eve decided, "With my ability, your level of mission is more than enough..."

Since something went wrong for no apparent reason last time, if it happens again this time, I should be more careful and I will definitely be able to find out where the problem lies.

Eve doesn't have the habit of giving up after a setback. To put it simply, she won't give up until she hits a wall. When she encounters such a strange thing, she has to find out the truth.

"really?"

Cen Xiangyun said in surprise.

Eve's strength is that of a sixth-order awakener, and she is also on the most reliable "Judgment" path of combat effectiveness. Having such a senior leading them is definitely much better than them just rushing around blindly.

"How can this be false?" Eve directly showed off her predecessor's skills and said with a sneer, "Do you know that I am known as a master in guiding new players and I never fail?"

“Generally speaking, people who say this kind of thing will fail in their next commission.” Lu Manqing said suddenly.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

Eve waved her hand.

"All right."

At this moment, Luo Ling suddenly said something.

Several people cast doubtful looks at her.

"It's okay." Luo Ling nodded calmly to everyone, "Let's eat... Hey, are you almost done eating?"

"Ms. Luo Ling, you are so distracted that it's outrageous..."

Chapter 5: "Naraku"'s first ability, I destroy myself? (k)

The investigation into the "White Witch" incident was carried out vigorously for a full half month, but no matter which organization it was, they could not find any trace of the "White Witch", let alone the unknown agent.

Eve, who had originally planned to lead Luo Ling and others to carry out the commission, was unfortunately drafted into the army. After being busy these past few days, not to mention the high-intensity overtime work every day, the point is that it doesn't matter, she can't get any OKR at all.

However, these have nothing to do with Luo Ling and his group, who are still newcomers. With their strength, if they really meet the White Witch's agent, they will not even be cannon fodder.

Of course, these are data on paper.

Apart from the straightforward Cen Xiangyun, even Lu Manqing had hidden something more or less. Although she didn't reveal anything, Luo Ling had vaguely sensed something when she encountered the memory dilemma last time.

It is definitely not just a wet nurse as she said.

The efficiency of the "company" has to be said to be quite low. It was unknown how long it had been since Cen Xiangyun and others' points were credited to their accounts before Luo Ling received her commission reward, three third-tier holy medicines.

One is a purple-brown liquid medicine, one is a blue capsule, and the last one is wilder, looking like a finger...but it's completely black.

Cen Xiangyun's original words were that each alchemist had different habits, so the styles of the company's collection of holy medicines were quite inconsistent.

"'All Spirits', 'Judgment', 'Elements'... they are really random. As expected of a 'company', the three most common random choices..."

"Order", "The Other Shore" and "Dream Travel" are all relatively rare holy relics, and "Order" is the most rare among them, so the advancement of the awakeners on the "Order" path has always been very slow.

When Luo Ling saw the holy medicine for the first time, he studied it for a while according to his strange identity.

"Although it comes from the strange holy remains, it no longer has any strange aura. It is transformed into the power of the corresponding path through some means. What would it be like if it was used directly without "devouring"..."

After using a holy medicine from a different path, you will not gain the same enlightenment effect as the holy medicine, and can only replenish the consumption of "inspiration".

Luo Ling unscrewed the first bottle of holy medicine and drank it directly.

She did not use her power to "devour", but directly absorbed the holy medicine in the way of an ordinary awakener.
