Okay, okay, so he's back to the traditional scamming industry.

Tia put away her notebook, said a few more words, and then took her leave, saying as she went, "I'll come back in a few days to talk about the debt."

—You'd better not come!

Marne felt mentally exhausted.

How could he have been so naive! If he had known that Fernina Bonaparte was actually Tia Sourf, he would never have refused the Montellima family's offer to just grab a descendant of the King of Ludwig from the countryside!

But it's too late now!

It's too late!

...........................

...........................

It's still early.

Cameron, having altered his appearance, obtained the list of the Ansu delegation from the staff of the Grand Hotel and quickly determined the residence of Funina Bonaparte.

Miss Bonaparte did indeed live and eat with Princess Eleanor. Given Eleanor's security standards and the fact that Foreign Secretary Bernice was still upstairs, she probably wouldn't have been able to infiltrate the area a few days ago.

But today is different.

Eleanor Mohn and Foreign Secretary Bernice left by car. Several Sequence 5 priests who had been in the Grand Hotel also left for various reasons.

The reason is unknown, but Cameron vaguely heard something like a royal decree. But that had nothing to do with her.

There were still some anti-suppression bureau agents left, but they weren't enough to deal with her.

"What a lucky day!"

Cameron hid at the end of the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, he lowered his head and pushed the food cart away.

Behind her, Tia returned to her hotel suite carrying bread and the strawberry jam Holly had given her along the way.

There's a certain story behind iris-shaped bread. She bought some garlic bread from the bakery; it had a strong garlic flavor and a nice chewy texture. However, it shouldn't be kept for too long; it's best eaten fresh out of the oven.

As for the strawberry jam that Miss Red Knight gave her... she dared not eat it.

Unfortunately, Eleanor didn't come back that night; she was probably still at the university for a ceremony. After eating her fill, Tia called Freya and Branna out to act as her door gods before falling asleep.

Outside the hotel suite, Cameron leaned over the door and listened intently.

She has already received the key to the room, but she's not in a hurry.

Her goal was to quickly subdue Frynn Bonaparte, and the first thing she would do was use the Spiderweb Nightmare. To do this, she brought a complete set of five extraordinary accessories to increase her maximum diving distance.

These items, except for the necklace, are all piercing in nature, and the ring will also pierce the finger. The purpose is to work in conjunction with another extraordinary accessory, the "Thorn Vine Bracelet," to amplify the effect of pulling enemies into nightmares through pain.

Even so, there was no guarantee that her opponent might possess extraordinary items to purify her mark and curse. Therefore, she also prepared a cursed dagger and poison.

Two vials of the extraordinary toxin "Disaster Seed" produced by the alchemists of the Wisdom Palace. Just 2ml of this toxin is enough to turn an adult's entire blood into a highly corrosive liquid within five minutes of contact with a blood vessel. To treat it, one must either undergo a major blood transfusion despite the corrosiveness or use a rapid healing ritual of Sequence 5 or higher from the earth oak or a toxin purification of Sequence 6 or higher. Otherwise, there is almost no cure.

These two vials of the vaccine were extremely expensive and unavailable. Cameron had only used them a handful of times during his missions over the years, and even then, he only applied a thin layer to his dagger.

This time, however, she soaked the bottles for an entire day and carried both bottles with her as spares.

After waiting until around 1 a.m., Cameron confirmed that there was no movement in the room, checked the surroundings for any signs of ritual, and quietly entered Tia's bedroom.

Cameron stared at the sleeping girl, who was wrapped in a thin blanket, for a while with great interest.

In some ways, this noblewoman from Silver Castle possessed a refined air, and upon closer inspection, she was quite charming. Such a lovely face resting in her hands...

Gee...

The smell of humus fermented in the air. The ritual had long been completed, and the delayed ceremony had failed. Strands of spider silk rose rapidly from the deep sea, rising from behind Cameron and heading straight for the sleeping Tia.

The strong, white spider silk wove into a web, as if to wrap Tia inside and turn her into a silkworm pupa.

The moment the ritual was completed, spider silk entangled Tia's soul, and Cameron began preparing to plunge her into a nightmare.

She could already smell the faint, exotic fragrance emanating from Tia's soul, a blend of wine, laurel, dragon's blood wood, and rhinoceros horn.

But before she could pull Tia's soul into the nightmare world made of spider webs 4000 meters deep in the ocean, a wet, cold, and sticky sensation swept over her brain.

The intoxicating aroma vanished, replaced by a strong, pungent, and intense sulfurous smell.

"Yo yo! Yo yo—"

Cameron heard only a loud cry of a deer before his vision went black and he sank into the deep sea.

Chapter 235 It smells good, but it smells a little bad.

1km, 10km, 30km...

The pressure of the deep sea swept in, and the heavy pressure descended on the soul as if the whole person was frozen in ice.

Cameron tried to move his arm, but the thought was immediately swept away by the water pressure, leaving only a hazy, confused state in his mind.

Before she completely lost consciousness, she vaguely saw a giant stag with two horns covered in bright red, crystalline blood scabs swimming beside the upside-down temple, and a hanging man with four faces casting a fleeting glance at her from inside the temple.

Especially that deer! The moment she made eye contact with it, a whole bunch of completely incomprehensible knowledge suddenly flooded her mind.

Her only thought was:

No, absolutely not!

This is not Sequence 7 at all!

The external water pressure was forcing her soul to disintegrate, while witnessing too many things she shouldn't have seen led her to acquire knowledge she shouldn't have had. This knowledge transformed into curses and pollution within her soul, further expanding her already weak spirit.

Caught between internal and external pressures, snap—

Cameron heard a crisp sound in her ears, a sign that her soul and reason were about to completely collapse. The pain was comparable to the tip of a wine opener slowly drilling into her fingernail. The uncontrollable hallucinations before her eyes and the incessant auditory hallucinations in her ears had made her unable to perceive the pain.

She finally understood why Jeremiah had specifically instructed her to repair her soul and ensure her spiritual abundance before attempting to assassinate Funina.

He's a false god!

He simply wanted to sacrifice his entire spirituality to the false god!

But why would there be such an intimate vessel of a false god next to the Anzu royal family...? Is it Eleanor?

On the verge of collapse, Cameron vaguely recalled a rumor from the Ansu royal family that they had colluded with a false god three hundred years ago to attack the coast of Iris.

That all makes sense.

This Frynn Bonaparte is not a noblewoman of Silver Castle at all! She is definitely not the good person portrayed! She is a complete and utter demon who has invaded reality!

A wave of regret washed over him, but it was too late.

As the crisp sound of shattering glass rang out, the crimson giant stag shook its head and looked at Cameron with a puzzled expression. Its fragile soul was completely torn apart by the water pressure and the knowledge of the spirit body. The part of its blossoming spirituality returned to its body, while the other part flew down to the upside-down temple.

A small portion was also picked up by the giant deer's tentacles and stuffed into its mouth.

"Yo! Yo yo!"

Julu retched twice.

It smells good, but it also smells bad.

Give it a couple more shakes, and it'll get you hooked!

"Yo—hoarse—"

.................

Tia woke up two hours later and was a little confused to see Miss Cameron lying stiffly on her floor, all her clothes gone except for her underwear.

Freya happily held up the clothes next to the assassin.

She has never worn clothes since she was a child!

If we're talking about clothes in the literal sense, then she wore them; but if we're talking about fabrics, then she never wore any—she was sunk into the deep sea when she was just a baby.

Seeing Tia looking over, Freya quickly folded her clothes and sat obediently to the side.

"The person is already dead?"

"Yes! My Lord, my consciousness completely dissipated just now, but a trace of my spirit remains in my body. Should we extract it?"

"Take it to the temple and place it on the holy candle in front of the altar in the main hall."

"As you wish!"

Freya set up a spiritual extraction ritual, cutting the assassin's ankle and releasing about a palm's worth of blood, which condensed into a gel-like substance.

Immediately, the assassin's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her expression returned to complete calm.

But the body wasn't completely dead yet, meaning it hadn't reached physiological death; in other words, it was "still warm." Freya didn't dare linger too long, seeing Tia staring intently at Cameron's body, fearing Tia might still want to use the assassin's body.

—Of course, this is just speculation.

Tia had no particular interest in the assassin, but she was intrigued by the things she carried.

The last time she faced Cameron, this assassin carried nothing but a dagger, but this time she was equipped with a whole host of items shimmering with extraordinary light...

So killing people really does drop equipment.jpg

Tia examined the equipment: two cursed daggers that were of little use to her, two bottles of potions whose purpose was unclear, two cat's-eye rings that would prick her fingertips, a ruby ​​necklace, a bracelet made of thorny vines, and... uh?

Tia tugged at the thing on the assassin's chest, her pupils dilated in shock, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

You guys with the Unsheathed Blade really know how to play!

Never mind... Tia chooses not to extend her sinful little hand.

But the dagger was pretty useless, and Tia didn't know how to use it, so she tossed it to Freya. Brenna was still in the Upside-Down Temple; there was no place for her.

The ring seemed to be used to enhance soul strength to increase the limit of deep diving, with the latter being the key. Tia had Freya test it, and while her soul strength didn't change much, her deep diving distance increased by about 500m, but it was useless to her. Her soul strength was decoupled from her deep diving distance; it was only related to the temple.

Pricking your fingertip is somewhat effective, but the pain is too minimal; it's not as convenient as Tia cutting her own stomach.

The necklace is the same product.

Tia thought for a moment and decided to send it to Scarlett, otherwise it seemed like no one else needed it...

The Thornvine Bracelet and her extraordinary ability, "Path of Suffering," seem to be from the same series of rituals. They're useful, but too simplified, with a weak boost, and they conflict with the Path of Suffering. I'll also pack them up and send them to Scarlett...

Tia estimates that Scarlett is the biggest winner.

The only noteworthy item was the two bottles of poison, which was the highlight and gave Tia a jolt of energy.

She didn't recognize the two bottles of poison, but Shrike did. Two ml of this poison, called "Disaster Seed," could easily kill low- to mid-sequence superhumans, and even high-sequence superhumans would need to drink a whole bottle before they could leave.

This is so kind of her!

She's managed to come up with all sorts of ways to play with this thing. Putting aside the possibility of hiding poison in bullets, fingers, and lips, her Victory Sword has certainly found a use.

The most criticized aspect of the Victory Sword is its low lethality. If someone is stabbed through the neck by the Victory Sword, Tia can use all her blood to slowly heal and keep her alive.

With this poison, things will be much easier.

However, these are not the main points. The main point is that Tia found a letter of commission from Tower Street on this assassin.

—Gaota Street...

As the girl was pondering in front of Cameron's body, she heard the sound of footsteps outside.

The bedroom door, which Cameron had opened earlier, is still open.

Eleanor had just returned from Tower Street and was still half asleep when she saw Tia's bedroom light on. She wanted to ask Tia to come and sleep with her.

Crunch!

Pushing open the door, Eleanor rubbed her eyes, stared blankly at Tia squatting on the ground, and then stared blankly again at the assassin girl lying on the ground with her clothes stripped off.

"Oh......"

Eleanor glanced at Tia again and said blankly, "Tia."

He then looked at the assassin girl, "A girl I don't know."

The little princess was startled and exclaimed in realization, "I understand completely!"

Chapter 236 The Book of Red Roses

Whether Eleanor understood or not, Tia didn't know, but anyway, she should applaud the princess.

Tia showed Eleanor the mission request letter from Tower Street and explained the background to her.

That's how you communicate with Eleanor. There's no need for beating around the bush or beating around the bush. Any embellishment is just a cover-up; just be frank and straightforward. The wise princess will naturally tell whether you're telling the truth or lying.
