Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Xifula smiled and seemed very happy.

Elsa did not explain. In fact, Elsa could feel that Sifreya could actually understand Elsa's actions, but she was just asking the question even though she knew the answer.

"Let me briefly explain my arrangements. This time, there will be about five to six people on my side, including myself, participating in the operation."

Aisha said.

The candidates for going to the North this time have already been decided: Elsa herself, the sage Tricia, and Charlie who has the blood of the True Ancestor and may be useful in the vampire territory, as well as Alman and Becky. They are all Northern vampires who have had brief contact with the mysterious man and have a better understanding of the situation on the vampire side. They are the most suitable guides.

There are five people here.

As for the sixth person, she is actually the Witch of Ashes, Grace. Grace had spent quite a while in Hellensis Butana, and many of Hegelman's Celtic Emeralds were obtained from there. This is also a clue. If Grace is willing to help, the relevant investigation will become easier.

However, because Grace's current condition is somewhat unstable, she becomes stressed every time she sees Elsa. It can be seen that Elsa has indeed left a shadow in her heart, so she has not yet decided whether to take Grace with her.

Elsa briefly introduced the composition of the personnel to Shifreya, without directly stating their identities, but just letting Shifreya have a rough prediction of the situation of these people.

Aisha continued, "Our operation will be divided into two phases. The first stop will be near the blood clan's territory to investigate the situation within the blood clan. We will be responsible for the specific investigation operations ourselves. The second stop will be the vassal state of Helansis Butana. The time is uncertain, but it should not exceed two months."

Two months is neither long nor short, which is quite appropriate. After all, the selection of the Holy Nun should have results within two months, and Elsa will naturally go to the Holy City by then.

"Herancy Butana..."

Sifreya held the teacup and just sniffed the fragrance of the flower tea gently, but did not drink it. Her eyes revealed her thoughts.

"Is Aisha planning to start her investigation from that batch of Celtic Emeralds?"

The information about the Celtic Emeralds came from her, so she quickly guessed Elsa's intentions.

Elsa didn't explain anything, but just asked: "This is the situation on my side. How is it? Is it difficult for you?"

"Elsa, you're joking. No matter how difficult it is, I won't let you down, Elsa, for your trust in me."

Sifreya smiled faintly, and only then did she finally take a sip of the scented tea. The fragrance of the tea spread in the air with Sifreya's breath.

She folded her legs gracefully and inched half an inch closer to Elsa.

"Please give me a day and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

She said, her words full of confidence.

"Two days? No problem," Aisha nodded. "That's perfect. I still have some things to prepare here."

……

After saying goodbye to Sifreya, Aisha came to the Adventurer's Guild.

She went straight to Annie. She and Annie were quite familiar with each other. Every time she came to the guild, Elsa would go straight to Annie.

Elsa first revoked the commission that had been hanging in a conspicuous place. As time went by, Dammas' most difficult period had passed, and there was no need to continue with this commission. If it was not withdrawn, this simple and high-reward commission would hinder the normal operation of other functions of the guild.

We cannot be market disruptors. Even if we do so with good intentions, we may not get good results.

"Also, has my order arrived?"

Aisha asked.

"It's here, but there's a lot of stuff, so I've temporarily stored it in the warehouse for you. Do you want to take it out now?"

"Ah."

"Then please allow me to lead the way for you."

Annie brought Elsa to a separate small warehouse. Although it was called a warehouse, it actually looked well-maintained and clean. The things Elsa ordered were neatly placed in the center of the room - several sets of simple-style clothes, specially made hard leather boots, flexible gauntlets, armor and lining armor that are very common among adventurers, dozens of sets of short daggers stacked together, one-handed swords, short knives or single-shot crossbows and arrows, healing and magic potions, sharp grappling hooks, strong nets and ropes.

These are very common props and equipment used by adventurers, and can be found in the backpack of any experienced adventurer.

But in addition to this, Annie also brought a deliberately old-fashioned adventurer's nameplate - silver.

Since I have decided to hide my identity, I have to put on a full show.

With these things as a cover, Elsa is just an ordinary silver medal adventurer. Silver medal adventurers are not everywhere, but even in a small place like Weilin Town, you can catch a lot of them, so it is not easy to attract attention.

291 Farewell

A dagger is a very practical and necessary equipment for adventurers, but for Elsa, it is just a disposable throwing item, and it is an expensive item specially customized. Since it is used for throwing, ordinary iron tools will not work. It would be simpler and more practical to just pinch a few copper coins. Therefore, it must be finely forged and magically enhanced. As a result, these inconspicuous daggers are the most expensive among this pile of equipment.

But it doesn't matter. Elsa has a lot of points and doesn't care about this expense.

Just like that, until night fell, Elsa took the magic dragon to Sky Island for resettlement. The magic dragon was originally the guardian of Sky Island, and now it has returned to its original owner.

But the dragon is still in a damaged state and no one knows how to repair it.

Elsa also returned to Weilin Town to say goodbye to the old priest and Alice. Alice's hidden illness had been completely cured, and her condition was stable. She had even started learning martial arts and magic from the priest. Normal order had also been largely restored in the town. After several days of vigilance, the blockade had been lifted, and some refugees had returned to their villages, while others, left homeless, had simply stayed in the town.

The town's original farmland had been largely destroyed by the black monsters. To accommodate the sudden influx of people, the town hall and the monastery led the replanting of the fields, and the refugees enthusiastically joined in. They needed to store as much food as possible before winter arrived. With the black monster crisis now over and the monsters in the forest having disappeared or migrated, Weilin Town, thanks to the increased population, was actually experiencing a subtle tendency to expand outward.

this is a good news.

Elsa did not stay in Weilin Town for long. She found Ryan and brought him back to the fortress - now that the magician group of Dammas has been shattered, he is needed just at this time.

Soon, the time came two days later——

It was raining that day, but this did not bring a bustling city to a standstill. Only people traveling far away would complain about it, because the road conditions in the wild became very bad when it rained.

On the bed in the room, Elsa and Vivian were kissing deeply. They finally separated, panting, and the heat turned into white mist that drifted from their mouths and noses.

"Take care of yourself when you get to the Holy City. I will miss you. After I finish dealing with the affairs in the North, I will go to the Holy City to find you."

Elsa said in a soothing tone.

Vivian lowered her eyelashes and her eyes were a little red.

Perhaps because of her experience of long-distance relationship in her previous life, Elsa did not feel so sad about separation. Or rather, she did feel sad, but the threshold was high, so she did not shed tears like Vivian.

What's more, if the longing was unbearable, Elsa could easily cross the ocean to the Holy See in the Western Continent to meet Vivian - as long as she had directions and didn't get lost, it wouldn't be a difficult thing to do.

On the other hand, for Vivian, this was the first time in her life that she had traveled far away, and she was alone again, so it was inevitable that she felt lost and reluctant.

She snuggled into Elsa's shoulder and secretly wiped away her tears.

"Elsa and Sister Tricia, please be well... I'll be waiting for you..."

Her voice was very soft and thin.

At this time, there was a knock on the door - "Elsa, the Chamber of Commerce is almost ready."

"Yeah, I'll be there soon."

Aisha gently wiped the tears from Vivian's eyes.

"Let me comb your hair."

Aisha looked at Vivian's slightly messy hair, smiled and said.

……

The morning rain was peaceful. Aisha finally said goodbye to Vivian and set off on her journey with the disguised Tricia.

To keep it secret, Aisha and Tricia did not say goodbye to the others.

Tricia still chose the same outfit as a few days ago, with a bow hanging around her waist and a hood covering half of her face like Filia. Now she looked like an ordinary adventurer who used a bow. It was not easy to leave a deep impression on people, nor was it easy to arouse people's suspicion.

Elsa also took off the combat nun uniform after a long time and chose a rather simple swordsman outfit, a very common set of brown leather armor, with processed tanned leather protecting the important joints and chest, and the lining buttons exposed from under the breastplate. The simple leather buckles made the fitted armor more fitting and easier to move. A not expensive but decent quality armed sword was hung around her waist, and a spare dagger was tied at the back. This was the outfit of adventurers that can be seen everywhere.

Elsa also wore a cloak, which could protect her from the wind and rain and the cold, and was a common item for many people—especially those in the North. The clergy's cloaks were usually fastened from the center of the chest with a brooch or leather buckle, but Elsa deliberately tied her cloak to one side of her shoulder.

It was drizzling as Aisha and Tricia appeared from the street corner, hurrying along like ordinary adventurers, and behind them were four more people.

One is Charlie, who has a curious and slightly excited look on her face. Although she is the daughter of the mayor, she seldom comes to a big city like Dammas. The upcoming journey to the North with Elsa makes her look forward to it. Charlie hardly needs to dress up, as long as she wears the equipment she wore when she was an active adventurer.

The other two were Alman and Becky. They both dressed up as adventurers according to Elsa's request and slightly modified their faces. Alman was worried, depressed and lonely at this time, while Becky seemed full of energy, which made Alman roll his eyes at Becky.

The last one is Grace.

Grace had no expression on her face, or rather, her eyes were dull, and she simply followed the crowd forward. She was wearing a gray wizard robe and holding the gray deer that she had not seen for a long time. However, no matter how the gray deer called her its master, she did not respond.

Only when she looked at Elsa would an inexplicable resentment appear in her eyes.

Elsa, who was swept by such a gaze, turned around and looked at Grace.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Aisha asked knowingly, but received a cold stare from Grace.

"You...you...a filthy nun...you did that to me...and now you're pretending to be stupid..."

Grace's voice was hoarse; her voice hadn't recovered yet. It wasn't the hoarseness from removing the marks, but the hoarseness from the heart-wrenching moans of the past few days.

Grace's cheeks flushed when she thought of what happened in the cell that day. She glared at Elsa with gritted teeth, but when she met Elsa's gaze, she subconsciously avoided it.

Elsa just shook her head noncommittally.

"Really? But the effect of my blood completely wore off halfway through, and you were the one who asked for more."

Grace bit her lower lip, and her earlobes flushed red.

Indeed, this is the fact. She has always been brave enough to take responsibility for her actions, but this is the only thing she doesn't want to admit.

"I don't care what you think of me," Elsa continued, her smile subsiding. "Just as we agreed, if you cooperate with my work, I'll give you your freedom. Whether you continue to be a wandering witch or join the church, I won't care anymore."

Anyway, the aura of the abyss in Grace's body has been eliminated. The church has its own rules for what happens next, and Elsa has no need to restrict her.

"Humph."

Grace looked away, as if to agree.

292. Businessman Ebusen

There was a light drizzle in the sky, and the endless dark clouds pressed down overhead. The damp wind blew across the fields, bringing a chill.

For the first time, Elsa left the fortress through the city gate in an orderly manner. Led by Elsa, the few people were now a team of silver medal adventurers. The team had no name, just like Thorne's team, which was the result of like-minded partners getting together.

Neither Sifreya nor Reed showed up. In order not to attract attention, they stayed in the Chamber of Commerce at this time. However, they told Aisha the location of the caravan in advance - they should be waiting outside the city now.

Leading the horses, they left the city wall and walked across the drawbridge over the moat. Elsa then saw a caravan parked not far outside the city. There weren't many humans in the fields on a rainy day, so their gray silhouettes were very eye-catching.

"Aisha Aisha, there's a caravan over there—it looks like it's them."

Charlie blinked her wine-red eyes, and the crisp sound was particularly pleasant amid the sound of the falling rain.

The method of restraining the vampire's aura that she learned from Tricia was very useful. Now Charlie no longer inadvertently revealed the vampire's seductive instincts, but she was still used to keeping a serious face when facing other people, even if she seemed a little uncontrollable in her excitement.

In comparison, Alman and Becky, who were also vampires, looked a little gloomy - they were finally able to return to their hometown, but as prisoners of Elsa, this feeling was not a good one.

As for Grace, she never uttered a word unless Elsa spoke to her.

"There are more people than I expected. With so many people, it might be difficult to move around," Tricia said, looking in the direction of the caravan. "But if you think about it from another perspective, with enough people, sometimes the absence of a few people won't be so noticeable."

Moreover, the caravan is large enough that it is sometimes easier to contact other merchants and obtain intelligence.

Aisha waved her hand:

"Mount."

Grace turned over and rode on her gray reindeer, while the others rode on horses. There were no people in Dammar who specialized in raising reindeer, so horses were more popular here.

Led by Aisha, everyone headed towards the caravan.

Soon, they arrived in front of the caravan, and several people dressed as adventurers came up and blocked their way.

"Hello."

Elsa got off her horse, took the initiative to greet them, nodded to a few people, and looked at them at the same time. The four of them were dressed in light half-body armor, but Elsa noticed that their armor had scars from battle. The scars were very fresh, and it seemed that they were left within a week.

They all stared at Elsa. Because it was raining, everyone was wearing cloak hoods, and they just thought Elsa's face was stunningly beautiful.

This slight surprise came from their eyes.

They stopped a few steps away from Aisha, their hands on the weapons at their waists. Their behavior might be a little rude, but it was a normal practice in the wild. No one knew whether the strangers they met on the road were bandits with malicious intentions.

"Who are you? Tell me your purpose."

The other party's tone was not very polite. He turned his eyes away from Aisha's face and looked at the others behind Aisha.

Aisha just smiled faintly: "We are sent by the Morton Fornia Chamber of Commerce - Is Mr. Ebusen here?"
