The relationship between Count Lidilia and Count Norton was not that good.
This is mainly because their ancestors were rivals, constantly tricking and plotting against each other, which led to even the common people living in their territories holding grudges against each other.
But as time passed, this hatred was gradually let go.
The two once prestigious families have now fallen to the outskirts of the empire's nobility. In such a situation, what is the meaning of further contention?
Thanks to this, Loria, holding the introduction letter written by Count Lidilia, didn't face much trouble and arrived at Count Norton's house.
"Count is currently discussing important matters with a friend. If this guest isn't in a hurry, please wait a moment."
"No problem."
Loria nodded repeatedly towards the leading maid. She was eager for Count Norton not to meet her, so she could conveniently carry out her investigation in the house.
"Okay, guest, please make yourself at ease."
The head maid left the reception room with a smile that made people feel refreshed.
Not long after she left, Loria stood up and turned to Doris, who was sitting on the sofa swinging her legs boredly.
"Doris, wait for me here. I'll be back shortly."
It was better when she didn't speak, but as soon as Doris spoke, she immediately started complaining, "Loria, didn't you say there would be delicious food here? Where is the delicious food?"
Loria waved her hand, "Magic Crystal Mine will have it, and there will be magic cores too. As long as you listen to me, I'll give them to you later."
Doris immediately sat up straight, her two ears and tail standing up one after another.
Loria nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'll go now."
Although Doris's strength was only at the C level, her skill set was very special. In Loria's opinion, she was even better than most B-level adventurers.
The most important thing is that Doris is very tough.
How important a battlefield doctor is, who doesn't need a teammate to be distracted and protected, doesn't need to be explained in detail, right?
After leaving the waiting room, Loria quickly changed into a tight black suit that could hide her figure.
Her first goal was Count Norton's bedroom.
In her opinion, the Stone of Enka, such an important thing, would only be placed in three locations.
One, on Count Norton.
Two, in Count Norton's bedroom.
Three, in a secret room somewhere in the mansion.
Without a doubt, Count Norton's bedroom is now the easiest place to investigate.
With her incredible agility of 112 points, Loria effortlessly entered Count Norton's bedroom.
She began searching through every nook and cranny, but couldn't find the Stone of Enka. However, she did find lots of r18 pictures.
These paintings were obviously created by a master. Loria felt like she had seen a lot in her life, but when she saw these realistic depictions of the human body, she couldn't control her desire.
"Hmm, what a delightful find."
She stuffed the colorful pictures back into the drawer.
As she stood up, a chilling sensation pierced her from behind.
Loria quickly turned around and saw a sharp dagger heading straight for her neck.
"Oh no, I can't dodge it."
Her face turned pale, and she could only watch helplessly as the dagger pierced her collarbone.
Ding!
A clear sound echoed in the room, and at that moment, Loria and the suddenly appearing assassin were both startled.
"Didn't break through?"
Only to be seen, the sharp dagger stopped on the milky white skin, no matter how it rotated and exerted force, it couldn't penetrate. At most, it only left a red dot.
Wow.
Loria suddenly understood.
Her endurance reached 215 points after the enhancement. When facing those B-level opponents, this 215-point endurance was not impressive, but facing the freshly entered C-level assassin in front of her, her 215-point endurance was like a wall of sighs.
How to break through?
Can't break it!
Ha ha.
Miss has always been chased and beaten by others, and now it's my turn to take advantage!
Loria's mouth curled into a smug smile, "You truly underestimate me."
Saying that, she reached out and grabbed the blade of the dagger, and with a strong twist in front of the assassin, she directly snapped the dagger.
"You..."
"What about you."
Loria grabbed the assassin by the collar, lifting him off the ground like a little chick.
"I am a very kind person, I hate killing. As long as you tell me where Count Norton hid the Stone of Enka, I'll let you go."
With sharp eyes, Loria scanned the assassin from head to toe. At this moment, Loria seemed like a ruthless bully, pressuring a helpless and weak girl.
After the initial fright, the assassin quickly calmed down and fearlessly locked eyes with Loria.
"You won't get any answers you seek from me, and do you really think you have everything under control?"
"What do you mean?"
Loria furrowed her brow slightly.
"Hehe."
The assassin continued to laugh and didn't answer the question.
Soon, Loria obtained the answer.
"Let go of me, release me quickly."
A moment later, the sound of a scream grew nearer, and a few women appeared before Loria, holding Doris on either side.
"Miss, don't you want this delicate flower to be dirty or wither?"
The person in charge grinned fiercely.
"If you are smart, you should leave right now, and we can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise..."
Her voice suddenly stopped, but her meaning was already very clear.
Loria's face became extremely strange.
Two data panels appeared before her eyes, one belonging to Doris, and the other to the speaking assassin.
The data showed that Doris's highest attribute was strength, reaching 112 points, while the assassin's highest attribute was spirit, reaching 123 points. However, both strength and agility were only around seventy, and endurance was only 52.
"Can this woman withstand one punch from Doris?"
This thought suddenly came to Loria's mind.
When she saw Doris screaming "help" nonstop, she felt that things became even stranger.
If you didn't know any better, you would think that Doris enjoyed this tone and was deliberately playing a role.
Never mind.
Since Doris is afraid, let's find another way to deal with these assassins.
Loria saw this as a great opportunity to test her new abilities.
"Relax." she shouted at Doris.
The faces of the assassins immediately showed anger, "Do you think we're easy targets?!"
Loria was full of confidence, "Even if you've figured it out, can you defend yourselves?"
"You're asking for trouble!"
The assassins were focused on Loria, trying to catch her every move, completely forgetting about Doris whom they controlled.
[Prophetic Experience]
A silver light flashed in Loria's eyes.
Before the assassins could react, a huge crescent arc shot out from Doris's chest.
The assassin closest to Doris was instantly cut in half, while the others shouted and tried to escape.
But Loria was prepared, successfully using the shadow's body inversion effect to restrict their movements.
To make sure nothing went wrong, when she saw the woman who had initially threatened her, she directly consumed 10% of her mental power, using the shadow of the dark moon to completely immobilize the person who was jumping the most joyfully.
"Is this what happened?"
A fearful cry suddenly rose.
Loria smiled but didn't speak.
The good show has just begun. Since these assassins won't give her the chance to investigate slowly, she can only use a little force.
It's just that this place is not open enough, otherwise she would directly use the Legacy of Dark Moon, which has a very large attack range.
"Stop her, stop her quickly!"
Screams kept coming, Loria held a big sword and approached the assassins closer and closer.
When she was close enough to reach out and touch, she punched the assassin who initially suggested kidnapping Doris.
This punch was powerful. After the punch, the assassin flew out from the glass window beside the corridor, bringing shards of glass all over the floor. He lay on the ground, already in a state of less breathing and more exhalation.
"Monster, it's a monster!"
The entire house was awakened by this cry. There were several people who tried to ambush Loria, but they were all confused by the illusions created by Masquerade of the Moon.
They spent a long time before realizing the truth. When they finally opened their eyes, they saw Loria holding a big sword with a big smile on her face.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three sword strikes, there was no one left standing on the ground.
Loria was in a very good mood.
She knew that her newly acquired abilities were very powerful, but she never expected them to be this powerful. She effortlessly defeated nearly ten level C assassins.
She walked up to Doris and asked, "Are you okay?"
Doris tremblingly grabbed Loria's collar.
Loria helplessly shook her head. Doris, besides being greedy and fearful, caused a lot of trouble for others.
"Let's go find Count Norton first."
Loria walked through a corridor that had gathered the attention of dozens of maids and found Count Norton shrinking on the sofa.
She said, "Count, those assassins have bad intentions. I have taken care of all of them. Don't worry, I know you were just deceived and momentarily forgot the importance of the Stone of Enka. If you are willing to temporarily entrust the Stone of Enka to me, then I will pretend that nothing you did before happened."
After all, she had come uninvited. Loria decided to show more courtesy to Count Norton, her master.
Count Norton breathed heavily, and Loria could even see hot air coming out from under his nostrils.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... several tens of seconds.
Suddenly.
Count Norton stood up abruptly, shaking his right hand with excitement. "Do you know what you've done? The assassins from the Hidden Leader have perished because of me. This means that our cooperation is completely over. My future, the future of the Norton family, everything has been sealed off by your actions alone. You are a criminal, you are the biggest..."
"Shut up!"
Loria interrupted Count Norton's words with a loud shout.
She didn't know if Count Norton had gone crazy, but she was very unhappy right now.
Did I come all the way here just to experience the feeling of being scolded by you?
You jerk!
Loria took a step forward, slapped Count Norton to the ground, and then stepped on his chest, "Damn it, I didn't come here to negotiate with you. Hurry up and hand over the Stone of Enka, or don't blame me for sending you on your way right now."
Count Norton wanted to say something else, but as soon as he saw Loria's expression, he immediately wilted.
"Here, can't I just give it to you?"
He crawled into the bedroom, rummaged around, and successfully opened a hidden cupboard on the wall. When the door opened, there lay a quietly dark blue gemstone inside.
"the Stone of Enka！"
Loria's eyes lit up.
