Before coming to Meris's room, Lisha noticed that the door was not locked, but left a gap.

She gently opened the door and walked into the room.

At a glance, everyone was there except Shiriya, Freya and Lucy.

Merilulu sat by the bed and used magic to heal Meris.

Ailan and Angela looked at Merris with curiosity.

Bestie was there too, and it seemed like she had come here specially today.

Xilu was sitting in the corner, concentrating on writing something.

Olivia was talking to Merissa who had just woken up.

When Lisha came to the bedside, Meris looked at her curiously.

Chapter 461 The Truth

"She is Lisha, my resident here, and the leader of the adventure team I just mentioned."

Olivia noticed Merris's curiosity and explained.

"Hello! I'm Lisha~"

Lisha had a beautiful smile on her face.

"Hello..."

As soon as Meris opened her mouth, Lisha felt something was wrong.

Meris's voice seemed to have some kind of attraction that made people want to listen to it again.

"Ms. Olivia, tell me everything that happened. Thank you for your help."

Merris said as her eyes fell on Bethie who was standing beside the bed.

"Thank you, sweet little cat man."

"No need to thank me so formally, I just saved you."

Bestie felt as if she was blushing a little.

She thought Meris's voice was nice.

When Meris thanked her, she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

"No, if it weren't for you, I would definitely die there."

Meris was very clear about her situation at the time. If she had not met the kind-hearted Besty, she would have had only two possibilities waiting for her. One was that she would not be discovered and eventually die from her injuries. The other was that she would be discovered by adventurers with bad intentions, and her fate would never be better than death.

"Do you have any wishes that you want to realize? As long as it is within my ability, I can help you realize it."

Meris said firmly.

Although the current situation of the tribe is unclear, even so, she must be able to fulfill most of Bestie's wishes. As long as Bestie's wish is not to become a legend or ask for a divine weapon. Even if Bestie wants a legendary weapon, Meris can give it to her.

"This is the same for everyone in Dragon's Breath."

It can be seen that Meris is very grateful to everyone for saving her and wants to repay everyone.

"I..."

Bestie was about to refuse, after all, she didn't do much.

But Olivia raised her hand and patted her little head to stop her.

"Think about it before we talk."

Olivia finished speaking to Bestie and looked up at Merris.

"You can repay the favor if you want. I just want to know why you fled from the Adventurer's Guild headquarters? And is there any trouble with the mermaid clan?"

"I don't really know why I fled."

Meris said with a distressed look on her face.

"You don't know either?"

Olivia sounded a little confused when she heard this answer.

"Well, I don't know. At that time, I was seriously injured in the first attack by those crazy people from the Demon King's Cult. Although the pharmacist of the Adventurer's Guild rescued me, I still couldn't do much. I could only stay in the special hut provided by the Adventurer's Guild to recuperate."

Meris looked a little dazed.

"As a result, just three days ago, I was attacked by the Demon King's Cult for the second time. In order to survive, I used some forbidden spells and ran out of the Adventurer's Guild headquarters with my seriously injured body. After that, I used the random teleportation scroll twice. As a result, as soon as I landed the second time, I encountered an assassin sent by the Demon King's Cult."

"Later, I risked my life to find an opportunity and used the last teleportation scroll in my hand to successfully escape from the pursuit of the Demon King's Cult. However, the teleportation location was not very good, it was an empty alley. If Bestie hadn't found me, I'm afraid I would not have survived."

"Now that I think about it, in addition to the curse disrupting my mind and some of my perception, I seemed to have heard someone talking, and it seemed that they kept telling me to flee from the Adventurer's Guild headquarters, saying that it was not safe there."

Meris covered her forehead and shook her head with a headache.

It now appears that there were other people around who used similar mind-confusing illusions on her.

Under the suppression of multiple curses and illusions, she may have lost most of her judgment at the time. Not attacking the Adventurer's Guild members who were escaping was the last bit of sanity she had.

"It seems that those lunatics really put a lot of effort into this."

Olivia seemed to be familiar with the Demon King's sect's tactics.

"Even when they were planning to kill a pope of a god, they didn't do it twice in a row like this. In order to ensure your death, they even sent gold-rank people to hunt you down continuously."

Olivia stared at Merris.

"If you die, will it have an irreversible impact on the mermaid clan?"

"Well, because I am the true heir of Mother, and I carry the treasure of our tribe. If I die and the treasure is lost, the mermaids will probably be in complete chaos after Mother's death, and there is a possibility that we will return to the era of more than a dozen tribes."

Meris nodded.

"So what happened to the mermaids? Was there a hole in the seal? Or was someone sabotaging it?"

Olivia felt that there were only these two possibilities.

"All."

There was bitterness and helplessness in Meris's eyes.

"I don't know the details because it happened after I left. I only know that the day before I was attacked by the Demon King's Cult, I received an urgent message from my eldest sister. There was only one sentence in it, which was to let me protect myself and the treasure."

"On the day of the attack, I heard from the Adventurer's Guild that something seemed to have happened to the mermaids. I was planning to go back, but I was attacked by an assassin."

"When I was hiding from the second wave of assassins, I used the unique mermaid technique to eavesdrop on the conversation between two gold-level professionals. They mentioned that the seal guarded by our clan had been fatally damaged."

At this point, Meris's face showed obvious anger.

"Those guys from the Demon King's sect are all crazy. They don't understand what breaking the seal means!"

"I think they know it very well. Even if the subordinates who carry it out don't know, the higher-ups should know it. But that's their purpose, isn't it?"

Olivia's expression was also a little gloomy.

Whenever she saw someone from the Devil's Cult causing trouble, she couldn't help but want to drown them in the toilet.

The only good members of the Demon King's cult are the dead ones.

"...I want to go back."

Meris said this with an extremely determined look on her face.

She wants to go back to her hometown.

Even if everything is irreversible in the end, she will still fulfill her duties as a mermaid princess.

"You can't go back."

Olivia shook her head.

"Let's not talk about how you are going to go back in your current state. Even if you recover, the Adventurer's Guild will not let you go back to die."

"Is there any news about my mother from the Adventurer's Guild?"

Meris asked anxiously.

"No, even if there is, I wouldn't know about it."

Olivia did know a lot of secrets of the Adventurer's Guild, but there were some things that even she obviously couldn't know, and the Adventurer's Guild wouldn't tell her.

Chapter 462: Worry

"What about the Ocean Church?"

Meris spoke a little faster, and it was obvious that she was really anxious.

"I don't have many acquaintances in the Ocean Church, but they don't seem to have been active in the past few days."

Olivia saw Meris's eyes dim and explained again.

"Even if the Ocean Church does make some big move, it won't affect the branch in the White Tower area."

Olivia wasn't lying about that.

Although the eight church branches in the White Tower area vary in size, their status is very high.

Excluding the headquarters established in the birthplaces of the major churches, the church branch in the White Tower area ranks second.

The eight major churches send a large number of talents to the branch in Glory Town every year.

The believers who can serve in the churches in the White Tower area are all devout people. Most of the older ones are once powerful priests and holy knights, while the younger ones are geniuses with extraordinary talents.

The eight major churches are well aware that only by keeping the branch in the White Tower area standing can they continuously obtain powerful professionals and better eliminate monsters.

Unless the devil descends, even if there are legendary professionals attacking the headquarters of the eight major churches, they will not call back the people from the church branch in the White Tower area.

Of course, this situation is simply impossible. Even if those crazy people in the Demon King's sect want to do this now, they need to consider whether they will be hunted down to death by the gods in the future.

Because the Demon King Cult had done such a thing before, they attacked the headquarters of the Church of Life and even killed the Pope and the Saint of the Church of Life.

The one who planned all of this was the agent of the Demon King's sect at the time, also an extremely powerful legend.

Just when people thought that the Demon King's sect was going to start wreaking havoc again, nearly 90% of them died within seven days, leaving only some low-level personnel who were hiding deeply and two executors.

The one who fought back was the incarnation of the God of Life and Healing.

Relying on the power to control life, the God of Life directly deprived the lives of those lunatics of the Demon King's sect.

That was also the first time that the believers of the Church of Life saw the wrath of the God of Life.

Since then, no one dared to attack the headquarters of the eight major churches.

Olivia was sure that the Ocean Church must know something, but she couldn't ask. After all, she didn't have any acquaintances to serve as a bridge between her and the Ocean Church. Even Fukaniya didn't have any acquaintances in the Ocean Church.

"The branch in Glory Town will know something, but you are really not fit for action in your current state."

"I know, but I still want to ask."

Meris let out a sigh of sadness that was difficult to conceal.

She knew it, but she still had a glimmer of expectation in her heart.

"I will go with you tomorrow and cure you completely."

Compared to Merilu, who is a priest of the Church of Earth, the priests of the Church of Life are more proficient in the two major types of divine arts: healing and removing curses.

"Thanks..."

Meris's eyes showed gratitude.

She also knew that she couldn't go out alone in her current state, otherwise she would definitely die at the hands of the assassins from the Demon King's sect who appeared in Baishi Town.

"Lisha, come with me too."

Olivia turned and said to Lisha.

"I?"

Lisha didn’t know why Olivia called her.

"What am I going to do?"

Lisha didn't think that Sister Olivia couldn't protect Meris alone.

"Come and help me with something."
