Chapter 79: The Female Warrior Was Serious and Rarely Smiled
The communication proceeded smoothly.
Almost instantly after Loria made her request, Adeline agreed without hesitation.
"I didn't expect their influence to be so vast, but now that I know, I can't just sit idly by. Otherwise, more people will be buried by their hands!"
A sharpness flickered in her blue eyes, resembling intricate sword blades.
Loria was deeply moved.
Regardless of whether the guildmaster acted out of righteousness or a desire to help her, she held a deep respect for the guildmaster.
You see, the opponents they were about to face were no ordinary people, yet the guildmaster didn't hesitate for a moment. Such bravery was truly dazzling, don't you think?
The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage; the beauty of humanity is the beauty of courage!
The guildmaster's soft and flowing golden hair is a true reflection of her inner self.
Loria said, "Guildmaster, you don't need to come out when the time comes. Just watch from the shadows. If I really can't defeat them, then you can step in. This is also to prevent the opponent from having any backup plan."
Adeline agreed and nodded.
The daily after-work practice gave her a rough estimation of Loria's abilities.
To be honest, she wasn't very strong.
But Loria's perseverance displayed during the battle impressed her greatly.
Could it be that Miss Knight, who could withstand constant pressure without falling, must have a strong and resilient heart that is not easily corrupted?
But that was not enough. The lady knight not only needed a strong heart, but also extraordinary strength.
"Let go and do it!"
Adeline looked at Loria as if she were looking at her own child, feeling a deep sense of contentment.
After bidding farewell to the guildmaster, Loria went straight back to her own room.
To ensure everything went smoothly, she would often go through a simulation before the actual battle.
Because the simulation was quite brief, even if she wanted to replicate the battle process from the simulation, she couldn't do it. As a result, there would always be some deviations between the actual battle outcome and the simulated content.
However, she didn't expect that. She just wanted to see if any unexpected things would happen during the battle.
If the person claiming to be the Hidden Leader suddenly appeared during the fight, it would be a bad situation.
With their style of doing things, they might even take her away.
The outcome brought a sense of calmness to everyone's hearts.
From start to finish, Loria didn't encounter any unexpected events.
"I'm at ease now."
Then, it's time to prepare to send you on your journey.
Loria retrieved the knight's greatsword and patiently began to polish it.
This was the tool the female knight used for eating, just like the handmade toys she often pretended to eat during her simulations. Proper maintenance was necessary and couldn't be overlooked.
"I haven't used it for several days, it's time to have some meat."
After all, it was a great sword. With one swing, what splattered out besides blood was the mangled and crushed flesh.
The time arrived at half past nine in the morning of the following day.
The members of the investigation team arrived at the association and, after asking Adeline a few symbolic questions, they declared that the investigation had concluded. They were ready to return to Claren City to report.
"Even though they didn't find anything in this investigation, perhaps it's for the best. The main culprit has already met a tragic end, so there's no need to involve the righteous ones."
One of the members of the investigation team smiled and said to Adeline.
Adeline is not good at acting and playing along, but she is very adept at maintaining a poker face without any expression.
This completely puzzles people, leaving them unable to guess her true thoughts.
Maybe she was very happy?
The members of the investigation team thought to themselves.
"You worked so hard."
"This is what we should do. We are children who come from poor families and have experienced hardships. We have witnessed the injustices in society and therefore despise those who misuse their power to manipulate the lives of ordinary people."
"Criminals must be punished, no matter how well they disguise themselves."
"Yes, then, Guildmaster Adeline, next time you come to Claren City, we can chat slowly if we have the chance. Let's leave early and bring this matter to a conclusion as soon as possible."
"Goodbye."
Clippity-clop.
The footsteps gradually faded away, until they completely disappeared.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from beside, saying, "Telling lies one after another, what scoundrels! If they really were children from humble backgrounds as they claim, then assisting the Treasurer would make them nothing more than beasts."
"Yes."
The guildmaster nodded approvingly, but as she turned around, she suddenly froze in surprise.
"Are you... Loria?"
Appearing beside her was no longer the Loria dressed in white silk high heels and a professional suit, but a figure wearing a tight red catgirl suit, red and black high heels, black gloves, and a catgirl mask that covered the upper half of her face.
"It is me."
Loria felt incredibly excited.
This was completely different from how she felt when she tried on this outfit in front of the mirror that day.
The tightness of the clothing on her body remained the same, but under the guildmaster's scrutinizing gaze, she felt her entire body ignite. Power, it was as if power was about to burst forth!
"Ugh, it seems like I'll have to keep diapers with me from now on."
However, despite feeling a little embarrassed, Loria couldn't help but feel excited when she saw that her endurance had increased by 15 points. She was very pleased with herself.
This is the foundation of her standing!
The guildmaster was a bit confused, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Disguised as a courageous vigilante, even if someone sees me fighting alongside the investigating team, they won't suspect it's me."
Words were said, that's for sure...
The guildmaster's gaze swept over Loria's perky little bottom.
She quickly shook her head.
Loria regarded her as a trustworthy senior. How could she entertain such strange thoughts?
She cleared her throat and asked, "Are you planning to just walk out like this?"
Loria said, "Of course not."
She had long prepared a coat to cover her tight-fitting dress.
If it weren't for fear of startling the guildmaster, she could have simply waited until they arrived at the scene to quickly change her outfit using the inventory function.
The guildmaster nods and says, "Let's set off then."
Catgirl Knight, ready to strike!
Ten twenty o'clock.
In the desolate wilderness, twenty kilometers away from Creek Town.
Loria took a step ahead and got stuck on the route that the investigation team must take back to Claren City.
"Speaking of which, the first time I simulated, I was actually captured by Queen Slime while on my way to Claren City. Then, I was corrupted and turned evil. I never thought that now it's my turn to block someone else."
She stood quietly, and within a few minutes, the figures of the investigation team appeared within her sight.
The two sides drew closer.
No one spoke.
Loria took off the cumbersome jacket, loosened her fingers, and let the jacket fall to the ground.
Under the slightly gloomy sky, the red cat girl, leaning on her big sword, stood out.
That was the color of blood.
Even if they were slow-witted, the members of the investigation team sensed something unusual.
Under normal circumstances, how could there be a cat girl standing in front of them?
"Who are you?"
Loria tightly gripped the sword in her hand. "I had planned to ask you a few questions first, but I believe you won't honestly answer them. So, let me strike with my sword first, and while I strike, I will ask my questions."
"You..."
The members of the investigation team hadn't even had time to react when Loria, who had been several meters away from them just moments ago, suddenly vanished without a trace.
Kitty's Pace!
The fiery red cat transformed into lightning, leaving behind a trail of blurry images in the air.
When the members of the investigation team snapped out of it, Loria had already appeared out of thin air among them.
"Spiral Sword!"
The simplest sword technique, at that moment, became the most practical sword technique.
With the dual-wielding bonus, strength increased by 5.
Battlefield Bond, strength increased by 8.
Defeating the numerous, strength +2.
The nun's gloves, strengthened by 3.
Heart of the Succubus, increases all attributes by 10%.
When all the attribute stacking effects were fully gathered, in that instant, Loria's strength attribute skyrocketed to 57 points.
This sword, capable of delivering a strike as powerful as a full-force blow from an ordinary D-level adventurer.
In the roaring wind, the enchanting flame blossoms spun like a swiftly twirling top at the heart of the crowd.
"Ah! Ah, ah!"
With a series of cries of pain, all four people surrounding Loria were sent flying.
The excruciating pain from the heavy sword smashing into their ribcage nearly made them gasp for breath.
But this was only the beginning. Just as one person managed to get up from the ground, barely having enough time to press on their seemingly collapsed chest, a massive, burning sword blade descended from the sky, accentuated by their red tight-fitting attire.
"Drat."
He could only clumsily roll instinctively.
In the next moment, a deafening boom left him feeling utterly bewildered.
He scrambled to his feet, only to see that the spot where he had been sitting was now a hole, nearly half his own height.
"If that sword were to land on me..."
I couldn't bear to imagine, even being turned into a pancake would be considered a light fate.
"This woman is serious, she truly wants to kill me!"
A great fear surged inside them, and the faces of the several members of the investigative team turned pale one by one.
"Just now was just saying hello, now is the proper way to welcome guests!"
Loria tightly grasped her mighty sword once again.
As soon as the words fell silent, she unleashed a series of powerful sword strikes without hesitation, rushing across the open field like a charging tank.
