The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

The maids were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they dropped their weapons and collapsed to the ground.

"My hands, my hands can't be separated!" Only Zhuo Si screamed in agony, "It's so hot—!"

After Lorenwei temporarily left the resort, the female manager quickly learned of the news.

"Are those guests walking in front of or behind Maid Vivi?" the female manager asked the maid who came to deliver the message with great professionalism.

"It looked like the maid Vivi was leading the way; she was walking at the very front."

"When you stopped them, did the other three female guests say anything?"

"No."

"Okay, I understand. You may leave." The female supervisor nodded. Just as I had predicted, Maid Vivi was indeed no ordinary country girl.

At this moment, the middle-aged maid also returned.

"Boss, I'm back."

"No need to say anything more, Maid Vivi isn't a village girl from Inner Village, right?"

"Yes. The maid who was supposed to come caught a bad cold and couldn't make it over. The mountain road is long and communication is difficult, so we were late in calling her."

"Yeah, I knew it. Ah, what a pity..."

"What's the supervisor regretting?"

"It's a pity she's not really in our line of work; she's just doing a cameo role, right? What a waste of such a talented maid! I haven't seen one like her in decades. I really hoped I could train her to become the best maid in the world..."

Upon entering the mountains, Lorenwei initially followed the mountain path, but later the path disappeared.

They weren't tracking ordinary people or beasts, but summoned creatures. Naturally, the creatures didn't need a path, and they were even less likely to take the usual route after stealing something.

Traveling at night with great difficulty, Lorenwei and Kurala, apart from Meilan and Xilufu, also suffered quite a bit.

Lorenwei hadn't changed out of her maid outfit, which was now snagging on countless branches and weeds. Since she refused to change in the wild, she resigned herself to it, knowing she wouldn't wear the outfit again after completing the mission.

Kurara carried a knight's shield and sword the whole time, and was wearing heavy armor, which took a lot of effort.

“Shall I get your shield for you?” Lorenwei asked again.

Kurara replied, "It's a knight's duty."

“This is the fourth time I’ve asked,” Siruf said with a sidelong glance.

Lorenwei said awkwardly, "She has a greater burden than you."

Sylph snorted: "Including the burden on your chest, right?"

“…” Lorenwei didn’t dare to respond.

Kurara was puzzled, feeling that Sylph seemed to treat Lorenvie poorly, showing none of the obedient nature one would expect from a magical pet.

Do all S-rank magical pets treat their masters this way?

It seems like she's jealous of me? Kurala suddenly thought of a possibility: it seems that whenever Lorenwei is nice to her, she gets annoyed with Lorenwei.

Oh~~ I didn't expect an S-rank magical pet to have such a personality? Kurara felt like she understood.

This jealousy wasn't due to gender, but rather because the master showed more concern for others, which made the pet jealous, right? Kurara chuckled to herself, not taking it seriously.

After walking for a full twenty minutes, with magical markers, Lorenwei no longer got lost and began to signal everyone to be careful.

"It should be somewhere on the hill ahead, where there's an abandoned mine cave," Lorenwei reminded her.

Kurala and the others nodded.

The group rearranged their equipment to be in top condition for any potential battle.

The opponent is no ordinary lecherous thief; he can use summoned creatures from a distance and may be a being close to or even at the level of an archmage.

“As per the team’s previous plan. I’ll go first to eliminate magical detection or traps, Kurara, you protect me,” Lorenwei repeated the instructions in a very low voice.

Kurara walked very close to her, her shield poised to protect her at any moment. Sylph was in the middle, with Melanie bringing up the rear.

Sure enough, there was magic detection! Lorenwei quickly discovered the two magic detection crystals and used a trick to block their detection, preventing the thief from finding out.

Sylph didn't quite understand, but Kurara and Melan could see it—such amazing magical perception!

Lorenwei noticed the detection fluctuations from afar and cleverly used magical manipulation to shield them.

Then, surprisingly, there were two more traps with physical properties.

Meilan was surprised; she hadn't even noticed.

The moonlight was still quite bright, but it was nighttime after all, and she hadn't noticed Lorenvie before she did. She felt a little embarrassed; as a former hunter, she hadn't expected to be more oblivious than a magician…

Indeed, human geniuses are in no way inferior to our demon race! Meilan thought to herself.

In fact, Lorenwei wasn't just playful as a child; she also learned various thieving techniques. After extensive experimentation on the children around her, and even after setting traps that caused terrible damage to the birds and beasts near Zerou City, and even after being personally tested by the unfortunate Great Sage Jansen... her learning outcomes were quite remarkable.

Ordinary surveillance cameras and traps posed no challenge to her.

After dealing with four reconnaissance points and traps, Lorenwei glanced back at her companions. Although she couldn't see their expressions clearly in the moonlight, she could imagine that her keen observation had amazed them.

Once inside the abandoned mine, the four of them became even more careful with their footing to avoid making any noise.

Not far inside the mine, there were torches on the walls, indicating that the thieves had been stationed here for several days.

Just a hundred meters in, there is a large open mining area. It is similar to a large cave, with a spacious interior that is as high as two or three stories.

The lights were bright, and there were also magic crystals to assist with the illumination.

Lorenwei found no further security measures, but the four became even more vigilant; clearly, this was their hideout.

Just as they were about to get closer, a strange, hoarse male voice came from inside the cave.

"Hahaha! Tonight's haul is amazing! Three women in a row, each with one of the three prominent attributes: light, wood, and darkness!"

The four of them exchanged glances.

It seems the stolen bra was brought here, and its residual properties were tested. I wonder what that was for.

Kurara recalled the time she was almost kidnapped, but was fortunately rescued by Loren. At that time, the mage also seemed very eager for his light attribute.

Lorenwei and the others quietly approached and secretly observed.

Inside the mine cave was a place resembling a magic laboratory. Various cheap magic experiment materials and equipment were piled up haphazardly, and there were many shelves with various women's bras, panties, tights and other intimate clothing hanging on them.

There was only one person present, and it was the elderly man who had made the surprised, hoarse sound earlier.

He was waving a small magic wand, admiring his newfound discovery of the day. He wore a round lens on one eye and a white academic robe that was now stained and discolored. His head was almost entirely bald, with only a thin ring of white hair around the edges. He was hunched over and looked disheveled, much like the eccentric research persona often seen in anime.

However, he belongs to the Summoner class.

Around the rack where Kurara and the other women's bras hung, three green foxes swarmed. These were summoned ghost foxes, weak in attack but agile, with a keen sense of smell, and capable of being remotely controlled.

"Hahaha! The organization said we shouldn't mess with the academy, but the area around Stendet City is full of talented people, so it's easier to meet girls with matching attributes! Look, we've met three girls with excellent attributes in one go!" The old summoner with the hoarse voice was laughing and gesturing wildly at the bras.

Chapter 119 You shouldn't have provoked Lorenve; she's going to interrogate you!

"Look how cheerful you are! You seem to really love your job of stealing underwear!" Lorenwei looked at the lecherous old summoner and gave him a fair assessment of his professional enthusiasm.

This was definitely not an ordinary petty thief. I don't know if it was just his personal interest in women's underwear, but judging from his mutterings, he must be a member of the Black Robe Organization.

Like Kurara, Lorenwei also thought of the Black Robe Organization. Moreover, she could tell that the Black Robe Organization wasn't just looking for girls with the light attribute, but also those with other attributes.

However, she couldn't communicate with Kurara immediately because, in fact, it was Loren who saved Kurara in the subspace. Logically, she could have learned from Loren that the black-robed woman was searching for a woman with light attributes, but she feared Kurara might be suspicious.

Lorenwei gestured to the three women to proceed with the original plan agreed upon at the hotel: she would lead the attack from the front, Kurara would provide cover, Melanie would provide support and launch a sneak attack, and Sylph would act as the archer to control the situation.

"Let's check again. It's unbelievable! We actually found three girls with high affinity for the elements in one night! Hahaha, I'm so lucky!" The old summoner's hoarse voice echoed in the mine, making it particularly unbearable for the ears.

His hand began to stroke the underwear, once again assessing its affinity. This method of determining affinity was based on residual human scent, and because it wasn't done directly on a person, there was a certain probability of error.

Kurala noticed that the first thing he touched was hers, and instinctively felt a chill run down her spine, giving her goosebumps.

"Go ahead! I can't stand him touching my underwear!" Kurara didn't say these words aloud, but her mouth moved silently, and she pointed towards the old summoner, her meaning very clear.

Lorenwei nodded, already prepared her crystal staff and two instant-cast spells. She called to her two companions and immediately began the attack.

In the previous plan, Meilan was actually the main attacker, but she is now flanking from behind.

Lorenwei and others launched a frontal attack, but they would never warn the enemy beforehand, carrying out the concept of surprise attack to the end.

If you can gang up on someone, never fight one-on-one; if you can ambush someone, never fight openly. This is the fine tradition of former heroes, cough cough, the good habits that martial artists should have.

Lorenwei waved the small magic wand she had already taken out:

"...Slowness Technique!"

"Burning Flame Flying Blade!"

Lorenwei unleashed different spells with each hand. This was an absolutely astonishing technique in the eyes of ordinary mages, akin to ambidextrous combat—truly astounding.

Just imagine, a mage forming different hand seals with his left and right hands is simultaneously controlling two different magic circuits, which is quite astonishing in magical theory.

However, in the eyes of the great sage Jansen and Archbishop Aisser, it was somewhat of a publicity stunt. Their view was that dividing it into two parts increased the probability of magical errors and made it impossible to use in actual combat; otherwise, the backlash from a failed spell would be devastating. Furthermore, intermediate and higher-level spells required long preparation times and had complex circuits, making them extremely difficult to execute. Therefore, in their eyes, Lorenvie's ambidextrous spell was rather useless. Perhaps due to their level of skill, it held little significance for them.

However, Lorenve refused to give up this idea, which was one of the reasons why her magical progress was relatively slow.

"Huh?!" The old summoner felt the magical vibrations the moment the attack began.

The old man was cunning and the horse was slippery. Before he could even check what kind of magic attack he was being attacked by, he hurriedly rolled on the spot, just in time to avoid the attack of the flaming flying blade.

However, the Slowing Spell had already taken effect on him, and when he stood up again, his movements were about a third slower than usual.

"Who goes there!" The old summoner remained calm and, without even chanting a spell, immediately threw a defensive scroll at himself.

A wind-attribute defensive array was about to be deployed.

whoosh-

Snapped--

Sylph was prepared; with a precise arrow, she managed to deflect the defensive scroll that was about to crash to the ground, just skimming along the edge.

"Beautiful!" Kurara had already rushed forward, jumped into the open, and quickly approached the old summoner with her shield in hand.

"Tonight's going to be tough!" The old summoner's pupils contracted.

Years of experience told him that there were archers of considerable rank aiming at him, and now knights were jumping out, so he had probably encountered a team!

"Don't let the knight get close!" He flicked his cloak, which instantly grew enormous. This was the unfolding of his protective robe barrier, forming a protective circle like a black curtain.

As a first-level archmage, he would have plenty of good stuff on him, and he also received funding from the Black Robe Organization. This robe shield is also a kind of defensive magic array.
