Chapter 297 The Mission of the Rose Cult
A fallen drow who was dancing found Ashe in the crowd, so he used his psychic power to communicate with his companions while turning around.
Noticing this detail, Ashe turned and walked out of the crowd and entered an apartment building near the square.
Soon, the fallen drow finished their performance today, but instead of taking their male companions home as usual, they packed up their things and left in a hurry.
The young people who were waiting for the opportunity to spend the night with them immediately booed in disappointment, but fortunately, the new singer soon came on stage and noisy music sounded again in the square.
"What should I call you? The latest female pet of the artificer? Or... a traitor to the sect!"
In the slightly dirty apartment corridor, the fallen drow who rushed in made a straightforward mockery as soon as he saw Ashe.
However, Ashe was not angry. Instead, she said calmly, "I am still advancing according to the original plan. The remarks you heard are not the real facts!"
When Ashe said this, her eyes were firm as if she was going to convert to Rose.
But the three fallen drow were not moved by the firmness in her eyes at all.
"Have you forgotten the customs of the Underdark? We all listen to whoever is stronger. You are just a traitor now. Even if what you said is true, we will not do anything for you."
Hearing these words, Ashe was slightly startled, and then she seemed to be amused and laughed.
"Hehe..., then have you ever thought that you three are just level 6 soul blades, what can you use to fight me? As long as I use psychic power to brainwash you into slaves, I will be able to..."
Raising her hand, Ashe was about to attack the three people, but a flash of psychic transmission suddenly lit up behind her.
The drow who once squeezed the noble children dry and the drow who rescued her appeared here.
The warning from the psychic energy made Ashe immediately flash away from the place where she was standing just now.
The next moment, four psychic blades hit there.
"Lauren, I was slandered!"
Without looking at the other drow, Ashe looked at another psychic warlock present and tried to speak out to defend herself.
But the drow she called Lauren did not have any special reaction, just waved to the three drow and asked them to hide behind her.
Seeing this, Ashe became more anxious.
"I can let you read my memory with psychic energy! I didn't betray!"
Pulling off the hood on her head, Ashe took a step forward, but Lauren and the other drow took a step back in response.
Ashe looked at her former friend in a daze, and couldn't believe that Lauren, who had fought with her, didn't believe in her.
At this moment, the drow she called Lauren spoke.
"Excellent psychic users can modify their own memories, and you, Elohine, are a psychic who can do this!"
Hearing this, Ashe's face twitched slightly.
She had used this trick to deceive the former Patriarch of the Rose Cult, but she didn't expect that this ability would backstab her today.
An unknown anger burned in her heart. She couldn't believe that the cult she had run for so long was taken away by rumors.
In extreme emotions, Ashe's psychic power began to become violent and chaotic.
Lauren on the opposite side seemed to have discovered this, so he said: "If you want to prove your loyalty, the cult has a task for you to complete. If you succeed, no matter what others say, I will stand by you."
These words made the four drow standing behind Lauren quite surprised, but after seeing that the situation seemed a little wrong with Ashe, they subconsciously thought that this should be Lauren's strategy to slow down the enemy.
The faint spiritual energy permeated the entire corridor, and the scene suddenly fell into silence. The atmosphere was so depressing that people felt a little breathless.
After a long time, Ashe lowered her head and asked in a panting voice: "What task?"
Lauren on the opposite side did not hesitate and said directly: "Take this spirit card to participate in the Spirit King Competition in two days!"
After that, a spirit card was thrown out by her.
Ashe raised her hand to catch it, and then used spiritual energy to activate the card, so that the spirit in it appeared.
It was the spirit of a spider elf, but compared with ordinary spider elves, this spirit had a charming beauty.
She was wearing "clothes" made of silver ornaments, and large areas of purple-black skin were exposed to the air, which looked very large.
After a moment of silence, Ashe nodded.
...
The picture of the phantom device ended here, and the environment around Carl returned to the original appearance of the private room.
After watching everything quietly, Nia asked Carl.
"How did you take this video? Did you follow her?"
It's quite difficult to follow a psychic. Nia couldn't imagine how Carl did it.
If you just use the arcane eye mechanism, the invisibility effect will be immediately discovered as soon as the opponent's psychic power is turned on.
"Hey! When I built the 6th district, I thought that it might be transformed into a place where gangsters gather, so I asked V to install secret recording devices in many buildings during construction. These were all recorded through those things."
After a dry cough, Carl told the source of the video tape truthfully.
Suddenly, Nia's face changed.
As if he knew what she was going to say, Carl quickly explained: "Only the sixth district has undergone such transformation, and most of them are installed in public places. The criminals who assassinated members of the Linland family were not photographed."
Nia's expression was visibly lost.
"Alas~, I still want the reward offered by the Dragon Mark Family, what a pity."
Hearing this, Carl leaned back and made a crackling sound.
"Do you think those things are so easy to get? It's not so easy to take advantage of the Dragon Mark Family. Let's just watch the show from the side.
By the way, are you interested in going to Lonely Mountain with me to check the situation on the scene in a while? Since we caused the change there, I haven't been there again.
I heard that there is a stable space gate leading to the air element plane there, which feels quite spectacular."
Recently, Carl has received a lot of information about Lonely Mountain from adventurers.
This made him a little concerned about the situation of the Lonely Mountain ruins, and he felt that it didn't become like that for no reason.
"Yes, but have you decided on the person?"
Sitting in Carl's arms on the left side very naturally, Nia played with her hair with her fingers and asked with a smile on her face.
"How about the four of us? Bain and the others seem to have lost their motivation to adventure because they have obtained too much treasure. Lisanna is still young and can't go to such a dangerous place."
"Take Elise and Ashe with you. I always feel that if those two guys are not kept watching, they might make some noise."
At this time, Hope also sat in Carl's arms on the other side and joined the conversation.
Ying got into the gap between Carl and the seat without any emotion. For a moment, Carl was completely surrounded by them.
