In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

She looked deeply at the seemingly innocent girl. The atmosphere was frozen for a moment, and then was broken by Maria's nod.

"Can……"

"Great!"

After getting Maria's affirmation, the girl's frown finally relaxed a little.

Immediately, she took Maria back to her temporary residence.

And just as the girl said, the place where she lived was indeed not big. It only had a simple bedroom and a bathroom, and nothing else. Even the bedroom was filled with various books and excerpted notes.

The only table that could be called furniture was covered with various newspaper clippings, which pieced together the cases one after another.

"Well... it's a bit chaotic. I actually didn't expect anyone to come here..."

The girl blushed when Maria looked at her like that.

She quickly got up and cleaned up the scene.

She really didn't expect that one day her home would have to welcome guests, so she didn't prepare anything and naturally it was a mess.

And such a scene is indeed embarrassing.

Fortunately, Maria didn't care much about these things. After helping the girl tidy up the room, she threw the drunk Sarkaz girl aside and went to the nervous girl.

"Are you a little scared?"

Maria spoke softly and sat down against the wall in a relaxed manner.

The girl next to her nervously pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands and didn't dare to say anything.

But Maria pointed out her dilemma.

"Is it because of what happened during the day?"

"...Yes." Seeing Maria speak out her thoughts, the girl hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered her head and said what she really thought.

It’s easy to talk about what happened during the day, but for the girls who were actually involved, it was a shadow that was extremely difficult to erase.

Especially after the Gray Hall announced the results, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the Losoloya family was looking at her when the trial results were announced.

But I didn't have any way to deal with it.

After all, she was at most an ordinary person who had a good relationship with the young master of the Bellone family, and her family was not of great value. For the Bellone family, being willing to sponsor her schooling and covering her food, water, electricity and accommodation expenses was itself a considerable expense.

It is simply impossible to spend so much effort to protect an ordinary little girl who has no relationship with the family.

This is also the reason why the girl was released from the Gray Hall very early, but chose to go home at this time.

She had been staying in the library to stay away from all kinds of danger.

But... no matter how long you stay, there is always a limit.

After the library was closed, she was forced to leave and return home.

She still had to return to her current home... alone, facing a family...

Such a situation is too depressing for a child.

Maria, who appeared at this time, was like a savior sent from heaven to her.

"That's why I invited you to my home."

Standing next to Maria, the girl looked very nervous.

But Maria reached out, slowly took the girl's hand, and pulled her to her side.

The subtle scent of incense quietly soothed the girl's tense nerves. After hesitating for a long time, she turned her head away.

"Um... aren't you angry?"

“…There’s nothing to be angry about.”

Maria glanced at the girl and then spoke.

Although she didn't know the girl's thoughts at first, she could more or less sense from her words that her invitation was not out of pure kindness.

But...so what?

The girl just wanted to protect herself and did not harm herself. For both parties, this was just a reasonable exchange.

Maria used her own strength to protect the girl's safety, and the girl provided Maria with a temporary home. This was a win-win situation for both parties.

There is no saying who designed whom.

After nodding slightly, the two had nothing to communicate.

After reading for a while, the little girl couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the table.

Maria, who was not sleepy at all, thought for a moment, then stood up gently, opened the door and walked out.

It was already early morning.

At this time, the lights in Syracuse had been turned off and all the shops had closed their doors.

But even so, you can still see some drunk people on the road.

In the distance, you can vaguely see some people with bad intentions trading something.

As the Sakota girl said before, although the establishment of the Gray Hall did not prevent the violence and disasters in Syracuse, it did limit these disasters.

They were forced into dark corners, living a barely surviving life.

Maria just looked for a moment and then turned her head away.

At the side, an elderly man wearing a strange eye patch slowly walked out of the darkness...

But this is actually not accurate.

After all, the man is a Sakota.

The luminous halo above the head and the wings behind the back emit light all the time. For the Sakota people, it is actually quite difficult to see the real darkness.

Although he was wearing a blindfold, the man walked very straight on the road, moving directly towards Maria.

But when he was less than ten meters away from Maria, he stopped and dared not move forward.

"To be honest, I did have some doubts at first, but now it seems that I am right."

The old man spoke slowly, but did not take off his blindfold.

After the previous trial in the Grey Hall, the monk reported to Agnier according to the previous procedures. After hearing that a strange judge had appeared, he was also extremely confused.

And when the other party drew Maria's appearance, his heart, which had been calm, could not help but become restless again...

Without thinking, he almost immediately sent people to investigate and began to look for Maria's whereabouts.

When he came here, he reminded himself again and again that this might be fake, just an illusion of his.

When he finally arrived and saw Maria, he realized that his guess was correct.

"You actually came here..."

"you are?"

"Agnir... just a shabby old man who works as a priest in Syracuse and occasionally works as a street sweeper."

The old man spoke slowly, bowing slightly in Maria's direction.

“It’s an honor to meet you, a legend, here.”

"The legendary Lord of the Banshee King's Court..."

……

The Lord of the Banshee Court...

This wasn't the first time Maria had heard this name.

When Maria was examined in Rhodes Island before, the strange blood demon also mentioned this name to her.

After that, Maria also studied the information about Sarkaz carefully and roughly understood what it meant.

Inside the Sarkaz, there are actually not demons in the traditional sense, but various strange races.

And these races have their own royal courts.

The Blood Demon has the Blood Demon Court.

The Wendigo have the Wendigo Court.

Goliath has the Goliath Court.

And the banshees naturally have their own royal court.

Each royal court has its own leader, who is called the Lord of the Royal Court.

The so-called Lord of the Banshee Court means that Maria is the leader of all those who consider themselves banshees.

The identity and power of a leader depends on the views within the race.

But...what puzzled Maria was how she could be the Lord of the Banshee Court?

Even if we take a step back and assume that she chooses to join an organization in this world and take on the responsibility of a leader, it should be the blood demon that is closest to her own race, right?

Banshee...

We're a bit out of touch.

But no matter how confused she was, Maria could only be sure that she would indeed become the Lord of the Banshee Court in the future.

but……

"Is this what you came to me for?"

"of course not."

Agnier did not dare to be careless when he saw the long-lost legend appear before him.

According to the internal file reports of Sakota, the Lord of the Royal Court disappeared after the Sarkaz civil war.

Many people thought that she had been seriously injured beyond repair or even died.

But the breath he sensed at this moment made him extremely clear about what kind of monster was standing in front of him.

A heartbeat so slow it almost stops.

A breath so long that it is difficult to notice.

And there was also the creepy feeling that emanated from him all the time, which made his hair stand on end.

He was sure that in all his years of life, there were few people who could make him so nervous just by meeting them.

Even the wolf leader had never made him feel such pressure.

It can be said that if the situation permits, he even wants to find a notary office immediately to report the current situation.

But that’s not enough.

What he needs to confirm most now is what the other party wants to do!

Although he had never seen it, the mere fact that it was a documented achievement was enough to make him give it his all.

"Just... meeting up with friends."

Maria was silent for a while, then finally lowered her tricorn hat and spoke softly.

"Just meeting a friend?"

Agnier narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, he didn't really believe what Maria said at this moment.

But obviously, facing an opponent of this level, without any bargaining chips in his hand, Agnier didn't dare to say anything easily...

But from another perspective, it was also because Maria's level was too high that she had no need to lie.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head silently.

"If you're visiting friends during this time, it's really not a good time."

"Ms. Maria."

"Syracuse is undergoing a transformation..."
