Li Aili said sincerely, "Otherwise, if we take you away now, the priests will probably go crazy. If they seal off the city, it will be difficult for us to cause trouble."

Assange: "..." He understood. He was just a target thrown out by the Duchess to attract the enemy's attention when she was causing trouble.

The group left the Spider Temple, and the Duke quietly recalled all the Shadow Fiends.

Everything returned to normal, without a trace of intrusion. Even if the Spider Queen Rose were to return now, she wouldn't notice anything amiss.

After leaving the temple and having the invisibility potion removed, the group returned to the inn, where Ellie gave the young master of the Vince Leigh family another sum of gold coins.

The Duke raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at his wife.

Li Aili, who was writing and drawing on a piece of parchment, twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth after seeing this look.

Arthur's gaze seemed to ask: How strange, you would give money to someone for no reason.

Everything was done, all that was left was to cause trouble. In the Duke's eyes, the young master of the Vinceley family was no longer of any use.

Li Aili was still working out the recipe for alchemy on the parchment. "Some people may not be able to really help you, but if they want to, they can definitely mess up what you're trying to do."

Arthur walked over and hugged his wife from behind. "So, you're gagging him."

declarative sentence.

Li Aili crossed out one of the derived alchemical potion recipes, "Correct."

Arthur gently ran his fingers through Ellie's golden hair, smoothing it down softly.

This made Li Aili feel a tingling sensation on her scalp.

However, compared to his gentle actions, the Duke's words were unusually cold: "There's no need. I can use Shadow Fiend to control him directly."

Li Aili paused as she wrote alchemical potion recipes on the parchment. "I didn't think the Spider Queen would be gone for long."

The Duke gave a strange, enigmatic snort, "How long it can drag on depends on how much this guy values ​​his integrity."

Li Aili's attention was half on the alchemy potion recipe in her hand. "What?"

The Duke's lips curled up slightly, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he thought of a certain unfortunate Abyss Lord. "It's nothing, my dear."

He bent down and kissed the top of Li Aili's head, much like a big cat that frantically bothers its owner and tries to steal its attention when the owner is working hard. "What are you busy with?"

"Ugh, stop fooling around." Li Aili pushed the 'big cat' away. "I'm writing an alchemical potion for the spider-like drow to drink."

"I have two ideas. Can you take a look? One idea is to reverse their spider-like transformation process."

“No,” the Duke decisively rejected. “The spider-transformed drow, from body to mind, involves the soul; it is the realm of the gods.”

Unless Li Aili achieves alchemical ascension, creating a potion that can 'confuse the gods' vision' is the limit she can achieve.

Li Aili sighed.

She also had a vague feeling that this path... was probably impassable unless she created the Philosopher's Stone.

"Then this is the only option."

She looked at another recipe. "The madness of the spider-transformed drow still stems from the Spider Queen's delirium. As long as the Spider Queen's control and harassment of them are stopped, their minds can still return to normal."

"At that time, they might be able to recall their memories before they became spiders."
