"Dong dong dong~"

Yinla knocked gently on the door. Tikkap had already gone to inform the other leaders to keep the secret, and now he had come to inform Vera in person. Vera's voice came from behind the door: "Who is it?"

As the door opened, Vera saw Yinla standing there with her arms crossed. She immediately knew that Yinla needed her help again, so she asked with a grin, "Yinla, what do you want from me?"

"Are you free? Come with me to the Demon King's territory."

Yinla didn't explain much, but simply gestured for Vera to follow him. Then, with Vera following him in confusion, he simply said, "What I said at yesterday's morning meeting, regarding matters related to cement, you should keep them as confidential as possible."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Vera, a former imperial citizen who had often lived in a treacherous environment, immediately understood what Yinla meant. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so? The thing you mentioned yesterday is so important?"

Vera clearly understood what Yinla was talking about, just like... the fertilizer process.

"So, some lesser demons went with you to find the kind of stone you needed, right?"

Vera spoke knowingly, feeling that she probably already knew why Yinla had come to see her. She said, "You should dispose of them secretly, right? Your mentor also praised my talent in this area."

Yinla wasn't aware of this. When she was studying at the Pure White Tower, she didn't have much contact with Vera... or rather, among so many Imperials in the Mage Tower, Vera's talent wasn't outstanding, so Yinla didn't remember her.

But Yinla is definitely a star, after all, she is a top freshman who has earned the title of "Cruel Blood Witch".

Vera, being a typical Imperial citizen, felt that the lesser demons who knew the truth should be dealt with. She believed that Ira shared the same thought, but... it shouldn't have been done this way.

"It was my fault for mistakenly disclosing information that needed to be kept confidential, and they don't have to pay for my mistake... After all, things haven't gotten to that point yet."

As Yinla said this, he had a better idea. He nodded in response to the monsters who were respectfully greeting him on both sides of the road, and said, "The manufacture of cement always requires a large number of people. They can work as cement craftsmen afterward."

That means Vera doesn't need to go on a killing spree.

"Hmm, so you just want to tell me I need to keep this a secret? Then you need to inform your other leaders too?"

Vera said this, but then she realized something and said, "You've probably already informed them, so what brings you here to see me?"

Before Yinla could even answer, Vera understood and spoke first: "You want to add anti-magic stone powder to another material to block detection, so you want me to provide the optimal mixing ratio, right?"

"..."

Yinla didn't say anything, but simply nodded slightly to indicate that Vera was right. He looked at Vera, who seemed to be in a good mood because of his nod, and couldn't help but say, "I always feel that working with you is really easy."

As she said this, Yinla added slowly to Vera's brightening smile, "Of course, that only applies when you're not being silly. You need to know that."

However, despite the dampening effect of the additional words, Vera remained cheerful. She shrugged and said, "I'll take that as a compliment. So, where are you taking me now?"

When Vera expressed her doubts, Yinla turned to look at the blond, blue-eyed lich. For some reason, he felt that Vera's attitude was a bit off. He said, "Go to an abandoned mine. It produces the materials I need."

Abandoned mine shaft?

Vera blinked, realizing why the road seemed familiar. She couldn't help but smile and said, "That collapsed mine, what a coincidence... I'm the one who caused it to collapse, because I hid the Soul Box there."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yinla immediately stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Vera in shock, then turned back to her, saying, "Are you changing seats?"

It's no wonder that Ira was shocked. The Soul Box is essentially Vera's second life as a lich... Now that her body has been destroyed, her soul will return to the Soul Box and be reborn in an extremely weak state.

Because the soul box will be very weak for a long time after rebirth, the hiding place of the soul box needs to be kept secret. It would be too strange for Vera to just casually say it, but... it definitely needs to be hidden in a different place.

That's what Ira thought, but Vera gave him an unexpected answer—

Vera: "Yes, I've decided to put it in your room later."

"..."

"???"

Vera casually kicked a pebble on the ground at the puzzled Inra and said with a smile, "What's wrong? There's no need for that expression. Isn't your room a pretty safe place?"

Yes, that's true, but...

"Aren't you trusting me a little too much?"

Yinla couldn't help but say this. If Vera's soul box was really in his room, then if he wanted to kill Vera, he could crush Vera's soul box with one hand and kill her directly.

However, Vera seemed quite unfazed. She looked at Yinla with a half-smile and said, "If you are determined to kill me, even if I put the Soul Box in another dimension, even if I can really be resurrected in another dimension, you still won't be able to kill me?"
