Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 2054 Frankness

Different people have different personalities and, of course, different hobbies. It can only be said that it is indeed difficult to generalize about the human race.

The woman didn't mind at all that her whole body was seen, and she didn't even care that there were actually quite a few male priests and knights at the scene. She just sat with her legs apart and checked her wounds to see if they had fully healed.

"I wish I knew where all my things are."

"When we found you, there was nothing but you stuffed into a glass jar."

"Well, can you give me a piece of wood?"

"It's not an impolite request, but before that, you should answer some of my questions."

Viola had spoken to her nicely before in order to calm this person down, not to be her babysitter.

"It seems that you did have some purpose in saving me. Well, what do you want to know?"

"Let's start with your name. What's your name?"

The woman saw the priest near Alyssa quietly holding the holy emblem on his chest with his hand. This was a divine spell from some school of prophecy, used to determine whether a person was lying.

If you play around with the name, you’ll be exposed in no time.

Then the woman said:

"Anmi."

The pastor gave no warning, she was telling the truth.

Viola also introduced herself. Knowing each other's names is the most basic condition of trust.

"It turns out that I was saved by a great figure like the Regent. I am really honored."

"I'd rather know something else than just being polite."

"Well, can you give me a piece of wood?"

"After you answer, yes."

"Tsk, what do you want to know?"

There are so many things I want to know, but I need to ask step by step.

Viola asked first:
"who are you?"

"You can tell from the looks of it that I am not a resident of your dimension."

Anmi shrugged and said:
"I belong to the 'Revisers' faction. Although we often travel across planes, we generally don't intentionally leave our names behind. Not many people know us. I wonder if you have heard of us?"

The pastor still didn't remind her, which meant she was telling the truth, but the organization of the Correctors...

Never heard of it at all.

Maybe Olde knew something, but Viola didn't know.

"What is the purpose of your organization?"

"Correcting the distortions of this world is what they say on the surface, but I don't really understand it. Basically, my job is to follow orders from above and hunt some dangerous creatures."

Why does this have a chuunibyou feel to it?

"What exactly?"

"For example, hunting a specific dragon."

Olde had mentioned to Viola before that when she was looking for the Demon King's Ring, she met three humans, and two of those three humans participated in the assassination of Viola. The woman in front of her, named Anmi, was the one who did not participate.

When I met them, I claimed that I was looking for a black dragon named Griselda.

"This job pays well, and I can be active in different planes, which is very attractive to me. Of course, the organization's affairs are not confidential, I can tell you freely."

"I'm not really interested in your organization."

Viola shook her head and said:

"Do you know that our plane, the Demon Realm, is being invaded?"

"The Demon Realm?"

Anmi wondered:
"No, I don't know what you mean." Viola looked back at the pastor beside her, who shook his head slightly, indicating that Anmi was not lying.

She really doesn't know.

This is strange. The lich Alais deliberately sealed Anmi up, probably as a bargaining chip to win the favor of the Demon King, but why does she seem to know nothing?

Looks like I need to ask something else.

"How much do you remember about the situation before you were injured?"

When asked about this, Anmi's expression became more serious. She said:

"I have cooperated with you. Now, can you give me a piece of wood?"

Viola raised her hand and signaled, and immediately a guard knight went out and brought back a thick branch for making a bonfire.

Seeing Viola nod, the Royal Guard Knight threw the branch to Anmi.

"Is there nothing better? Never mind. That's fine."

She complained a little, picked up the branch and started to cut it with the dagger in her hand.

"Now, can you tell me?"

"There's nothing to hide. I was betrayed by my companions."

she says:

"I came to a plane called Cyprus through the organization's portal, where I found a local adventurer with whom I had cooperated before, and then we went together to hunt down a dragon."

Cyprus, the army that invaded the Demon Realm came from this plane.

"But that black dragon was very cunning. We chased it for almost half a year and finally blocked it in a half-plane, but it still escaped in the end."

The demiplane she was talking about should be the one that Olde went to when she was looking for the Demon King's Ring.

"After that, I kept waiting for orders from the organization, and occasionally went on adventures with my teammates who were hunting black dragons, until... Fu."

She blew away the shavings:

"I noticed that the people of Cyprus seemed to be preparing for something, like a war. But I didn't pay much attention to it at that time. After all, as an adventurer, I am not interested in war."

"You don't seem to be getting to the point. Why were you betrayed by your companions?"

Anmi knew very well that the priest beside Viola had the ability to detect lies, and lies would be seen through immediately, so what she said just now was completely nonsense.

"If you want to buy time, I suggest you don't waste your energy. This tent has been completely blocked."

"Of course I am willing to cooperate..."

"Let's make this clear."

Viola interrupted:

"I know you want the wood to make a holy emblem. I also know that you are a ranger serving the Dark Maiden."

This sentence made Anmi stop what he was doing.

"It doesn't matter. You can continue to make the holy emblem. It will actually be good for me. Once you get in touch with your goddess, you will know that we are actually allies."

To be precise, Li Chengxi and the Dark Girl Eilistraee are allies, and it's not just verbal, but they really have a covenant.

"It's rare to find a human serving a dark maiden, but the Lord has told me about you, and I want to know how your information can help the Lord and me."

Anmi's eyes flickered, and she didn't answer for a moment, just silently whittling the wood. Viola didn't urge her, because she knew that Anmi was weighing the pros and cons.

After almost two minutes of strange silence, she finally spoke:

"What I discovered is very scary. I must try to get in touch with the goddess as soon as possible. Are you sure you want to know?"

"Of course, in fact, the horror you are talking about has probably already come to our plane."

"A terrifying existence has descended upon Cyprus, and mortals have no power to resist it. Perhaps... it has always been there, but I just didn't realize it before."

As soon as Viola heard it, she knew that this person must have found something.
