Chapter 437: Chapter 362 Ambiguous Probe Chapter 437: Chapter 362 Ambiguous Probe “Good evening, my lady,” Lancelot presented the succubus with his meticulously practiced smile, “It’s been a while.”

“Psh, what a lousy opening line, we just met a few hours ago,” Tijana rolled her eyes at the human knight and settled into her chair, “What, without the halfing chef, you can’t even come up with anything to offer me?”

“How could that be…” Lancelot’s mind raced as he thought of the by-products from his first experiment, quickly retrieving the fruits, “I have some delicious berries here, give them a try, I planted them myself.”

“You planted these?” Tijana looked at him skeptically, picked up a deep red berry, smelled it, and then tossed it, stem and all, into her mouth, “Hmm, not bad… What, took a trip to Androlina and learned some druid tricks from Aira?”

“Druid? It shouldn’t have anything to do with that…” Lancelot brought two glass cups from behind the bar already filled with a beautiful golden liquid, “But the honey mead there was indeed fantastic. As soon as I tasted this stuff, I knew I had to bring it back to let you have a taste…”

“Oh? So you’re telling me you’ve been thinking of me all this time?” Tijana picked up her glass, took a delicate sip, then leaned back in the chair, her massive bat wings stretched out relaxed behind her, “Nice try… I thought maybe you decided to stay in Androlina and not come back.”

“Androlina is a beautiful place, but there are many reasons I wouldn’t want to stay there forever…”

“Really?” The Succubus Lord leaned forward, her gaze bold upon the human knight, “Am I one of your reasons?”

“Of course,” Lancelot struggled to resist the urge to let his gaze drift downwards, but the succubus in front of him was just too big… no, too beautiful. He forced himself to change the subject, “So… what was the deal with those demons today? How did they end up in your castle?”

“They brought with them a rare item that could nullify magic nearby, and perhaps I relied too much on my spell-casting abilities,” Tijana dropped her flippant demeanor, her voice becoming soft, “I think I must thank you, the situation was indeed dire…”

“No, I’m the one who should be thanking you,” Lancelot shook his head seriously, “If it weren’t for you, I’d probably still be hung up in the Cang Ye gallery now.”

“So we’re even then?” the succubus leaned back in her chair, “From now on, we owe each other nothing?”

“Or, to put it another way, we’ve both helped each other out in times of danger,” Lancelot raised his glass to Tijana, “Don’t you think that sounds better?”

“Indeed it does,” the succubus responded to the human knight’s gesture and, after clinking glasses, downed the drink in one gulp, “But really, you seem much stronger than when we first met. How did you get into the ice prison? And how did you bring out that ice demon?”

“That would be a very long story,” Lancelot took Tijana’s empty cup, went over to the bar, “Another drink?”

“Of course,” the Succubus Lord stretched languidly, “When stories are paired together, they are bound to taste very good.”

“After we left Twin Bridges Town, it took us three days to enter the range of the Volcano Fortress, and then we turned southwest…”

Lancelot began recounting their past two-month adventure journey. He mentioned the shape-shifter patrol disguised as odd creatures, the battle between Mogrondale and Enrique, and the city’s peculiar power structure; the quest for the Eye of Sarezdon thereafter, the Succubus Paladin’s dazzling Evilbane Slash, the mind-losing ancient Evil Relic, and the process where everyone met danger but escaped from peril; the Lord of Withering who cooperated with demons, the Giant Dragon disguised as a halfling, and the troubles he encountered after renouncing the Governor title.

Of course, what was difficult to explain was how he got out of the Giant Skull Demon’s trap by breaking through Foundation Establishment. Lancelot once again disguised it with ‘the awakening of Bloodline Power,’ thankfully, Tijana was more interested in Satugura being the mastermind behind the scenes, and the involvement of the Nine Hells’ forces.

“Are you saying that the so-called theft of the Divine Artifact was actually orchestrated by the former Archduke Aphnas, Bayer?”

“At least that’s what the Abyss fox-faced demon said,” Lancelot nodded, “Under the circumstances at the time, I don’t think he had any reason to lie.”

“But that doesn’t make sense,” Tijana frowned, “The Abyssal Lords prefer to transport their troops directly through portals to the Plains of the Abyss; the Great Abyss is more often used as a pathway for the Abyssal Lords to attack each other… And I can’t believe it would truly serve Zariel–after all, it’s his replacement. As the former Archduke Aphnas, Bayer is surely plotting every day on how to retake his title.”

“There’s something I forgot to mention just now–we found this on that shape-shifter patrol: an Anti-Magic Stone. It felt very much like those tools carried by the ice demons.” Lancelot took out an exquisite little box from the Dimensional Bag, “Want to take a look?”

“If I couldn’t be sure that you don’t want to kill me, my claws would have already slit your throat by now,” the Succubus leaned forward again, looking at the Human Knight with a menacing gaze, “You’re not planning to use this thing to suppress the nearby Magic Net and then take advantage of your strong body to force me to do something weird, are you?”

“I have absolutely no such intention,” Lancelot replied subconsciously, secretly grateful for his powerful physical control after Foundation Establishment, because if it weren’t for that, the blood rushing to his face would definitely have betrayed his real thoughts.

Lancelot was not oblivious to Tijana’s insinuation, but he had learned a very important piece of knowledge from another Succubus: if you can’t overpower a Succubus, during the act of love, she has countless opportunities to drain your strength or to force you to submit to her will.

Yes, he had a good impression of Tijana, always feeling a primal impulse from this stunning creature, but he couldn’t put his full trust in the Succubus Lord, even though they had actually saved each other’s lives.

“Oh? Really?” Tijana seemed a bit disappointed, but her expression quickly returned to seriousness. She took the box Lancelot handed her, glanced inside, then quickly shut it and tossed it back, “Yes, the same thing. So those ice demons who came to kill me were most likely sent by Bayer as well–this is valuable information, it might help me pry open the mouths of those three vermin faster…”

“When I left, the Volcano Fortress was under fierce attack by a demon army, what’s the situation now?” Lancelot placed the small box back into the Dimensional Bag, “Who is the Commander on the demon’s side? Could it be this former Archduke Bayer?”
