“But Miss Leah, infiltrating a criminal organization shouldn’t be an easy task,” Eileen said, somewhat puzzled.

“You wouldn’t know this, Eileen. I once accidentally learned the code of the Iris Flower organization, which could help us infiltrate. The Iris Flower happens to be a very loose criminal organization that only recognizes codes, not people,” Amelia said with a slight smile.

"Is that how it is?"

Eileen felt that it was still a bit far-fetched, but perhaps she didn't know His Majesty well enough, or that His Majesty's thoughts were as profound as His Majesty's.

Amelia was explaining things to the audience rather than to Eileen, and her explanation was, in a way, quite reasonable for the audience.

Next, Amelia whispered the iris symbol to Eileen.

The two stopped deep in the alley.

There's a newspaper from a few months ago stuck in the corner here. It looks tattered, but there's actually a small, barely noticeable barrier set up on it. Once the newspaper is torn off, the barrier will be triggered, letting people know that someone has come here.

Amelia immediately went over and tore the newspaper down.

Then all you have to do is wait.

The person in charge of Rhine City from the Iris organization will come. We can communicate using a code. If it's not someone from the organization, but someone who accidentally tore down the newspaper, they will re-paste the newspaper and set up a new barrier.

Amelia didn't have to wait long before a series of footsteps approached.

It was a woman, tall and voluptuous, wearing a black dress, with long purple hair cascading down her shoulders. Her purple eyes fell on Amelia and Eileen, with a hint of scrutiny.

The woman drew closer and said, as if to herself, "The valiant griffin has fallen in love with the goblin."

“Goblins prefer the gentleness of dwarves,” Amelia immediately added.

The woman's eyes lit up: "The dwarf wants to be the elf's dog."

Amelia replied with a smile, "The elf lady gave birth to a half-elf."

The code was matched.

"Welcome to Rhine City." The woman approached and introduced herself: "I am Beth Birrell."

“Hello Ms. Billell, I am Lucy Coffey, and this is my sister Winnie Coffey.”

Amelia created a new identity for the two of them.

Eileen was somewhat stunned after hearing this, not expecting Amelia to give her the identity of an older sister. However, despite her surprise, she managed to keep her expression unchanged.

"Miss Kofi, what mission do you have in Rhine City? Do you need any help from the organization?" Beth asked with a smile.

“Our mission is not in Rhine City, but further north, but as you can see, the north gate of Rhine City is sealed off by a barrier, and we cannot leave at the moment,” Amelia replied.

"The barrier won't last forever, how about we wait a while longer?"

"This could delay our mission."

"That's true."

Beth thought for a moment and smiled, "Would you be willing to help the rest of the organization complete their missions first? This might help break the barrier sooner. In addition, you can also receive corresponding rewards if you help."

She extended the invitation directly, not worried that Amelia and her companion wouldn't have the ability to help.

The prerequisite for joining the Iris is to become an apostle, and as long as you are an apostle, even a prospective apostle, you can be of some help.

"What is your mission?" Amelia asked after thinking for a moment.

"I can only tell you this if you agree to help," Beth said with a smile.

Although she refused to say it, the comments section had already revealed it.

Although viewers did not experience the events in Rhine City during this period, they can deduce many things from the later plot, such as the fact that Iris Flower stole the spoils that the three kingdoms were competing for.

Therefore, it is quite obvious what the Iris people's mission is now.

"Please make a decision quickly, whether you agree or not, because we don't have much time to prepare. If we stay any longer and wait for the powerful apostles from the three kingdoms to arrive, our mission will be impossible to complete," Beth added.

“Since a fellow member of the organization is in trouble, we will naturally help them.” Amelia smiled, then said to Eileen beside her, “You agree, right, sister?”

The term "sister" made Eileen momentarily dazed.

However, Eileen quickly recovered and said, "Of course."

Beth nodded in satisfaction.

She wasn't entirely confident about what the organization was planning, since only a small number of its members were in Rhine City.

After learning what the spoils of war were in the competition between the three kingdoms, the organization sent people over immediately, but the time was too short and the number of people who could come was too small.

So at this point, having two more people help out is a good thing, at least.

As for Beth, she didn't come to Rhine City because of this; she was an organization member who had always been in Rhine City.

"Come with me now, we'll meet with the other members of the organization first."

Beth turned around and walked slowly into the distance.

"Sister, let's go." Amelia smiled gently at Eileen, took Eileen's hand, and followed her.

Before long, the two followed Beth through several streets and arrived at a quiet residential area, entering a courtyard.

==========

Chapter 30 That Spoils of War

The seemingly ordinary courtyard actually has a passageway leading to the basement.

After Beth closed the gate to the yard, she led Amelia and the other person into the underground passage and into a basement.

“Actually, I was gathering the rest of the organization members before, and I only contacted you because of your arrival. I don’t know if everyone else has arrived yet, but most of them are probably waiting for us,” Beth said as she walked.

The passageway wasn't long, and they quickly arrived at the basement.

The basement looked spacious, with a gas lamp hanging on the wall, its dim yellow light filling the space.

A table and a circle of chairs were all that was in the basement.

There were two men sitting in the chair at that moment.

“These are Charles and Brandon.”

Beth gave a brief introduction to the two people in front of her.

Charles was a young man with short blond hair, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and looking very refined.

Brandon was a man with a red rooster-like hairstyle and an exceptionally strong physique, with bulging muscles on his arms.

After introducing the two, Beth then introduced Amelia and Eileen to them: "These are Lucy and Winnie, they are sisters, Lucy is the younger sister."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Charles, Mr. Brandon," Amelia greeted casually.

Eileen greeted them in return.

"good afternoon."

Charles and Brandon responded with smiles.

After exchanging greetings, Amelia asked Beth, "Have all of our organization's people in Rhine City arrived here?"

“No, there’s still one person who hasn’t arrived yet, so let’s wait a little longer.” Beth pulled up a chair and sat down.

Amelia and Eileen also sat down.

After taking their seats, Beth asked, "I wonder what level you two have reached? Knowing your strength will be helpful for our upcoming operation."

“I am a prospective apostle, and my sister is a lower-ranking apostle,” Amelia said with a smile, concealing some of Eileen’s strength.

“I understand,” Beth nodded.

Just then, footsteps came from the passageway.

“It seems our last members in Rhine City have arrived.” Beth looked toward the passageway.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a man with brown curly hair and dressed in black walked over.

This person is none other than Leicester!

Amelia wasn't surprised, but Eileen was undoubtedly taken aback to see Lester appear. She instinctively lowered her head to avoid revealing her change in expression.

Sure enough, Leicester showed up too.

Amelia and Eileen probably never expected to run into Lester again; what a small world!

[Eileen almost couldn't hide the change in her expression; her attempts to hold it in were so cute, hahaha.]

Why does Amelia look so unsurprised? Did she already know, or is she just good at controlling her expression?

[Amelia has always appeared very intelligent; perhaps she already knew?]

But how could she possibly know? Perhaps she's good at controlling her facial expressions?

The viewers exchanged comments, holding differing opinions.

When Lester came in, he saw Amelia and Eileen and recognized them as the two who had ordered milk at his tavern earlier. He was surprised to see them here.

“Leicester, these are Lucy and Winnie, sisters, who are also members of our organization,” Beth greeted them.

"I see." Lester walked over with a smile.

“This is Lester,” Beth said to Amelia and Eileen.

Amelia nodded slightly and said with a smile, "We meet again, Mr. Lester. I didn't expect you to be a member of the organization. It seems we are destined to meet."

"I didn't expect to meet you all either," Lester said with a smile as he stepped forward and sat down.

"You two know each other?" Beth looked at both of them.

“We’ve dined at Mr. Leicester’s tavern before. There are so few shops open in Rhine City these days, it’s really lucky to have found an open tavern,” Amelia explained simply.

Beth didn't think much of it when she heard that.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start by talking about our mission objectives." Beth's expression turned serious as she said this.

Everyone looked at Beth.

Beth continued, "In Rhine City, the armies of the Kingdom of Bags, the Kingdom of Akti, and the Kingdom of Beren are at odds with each other over a spoil of war obtained from the Kingdom of Steel. And that spoil is our target."

"What are the spoils of war?" Brandon asked, puzzled.

"It is an alchemical product purchased from the Waterland Empire before the fall of the Kingdom of Steel."

"The Waterland Empire?"
