If possible, it would be best to conserve Kaphni's divine power and resolve this matter peacefully.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he asked, "The reason you're targeting us is because you're worried we'll reveal your secrets?"

Linda didn't know what had happened in the Scorching Canyon, but judging from the smell of blood wafting over, a fierce battle must have taken place. Lulu didn't want the news to leak out, which was why she ambushed them.

Lulu didn't answer his question, which was taken as an admission.

Upon learning of the orc girl's request, Linda had a solution.

Linda extended her right hand, her eyes fixed intently on the orc girl:

"I won't reveal your whereabouts. If you don't believe me, you can join my team so they can keep an eye on us at all times. Or, do you want to start a war with the intention of mutual destruction? That would benefit neither of us!"

Kaphni cooperated by displaying a trace of divine power.

The quantity was small, but the sheer terror of its 'quality' caused Lulu to instinctively take a few steps back.

She lay prone on all fours like a wild beast, her wolf tail tucked under her body, staring warily at Kaphni.

Linda said, "We don't want to go to war with you either. Joining my team is the best option, isn't it?"

If an ordinary person invited this orc witch to join their party, they would be courting death, and might even have their neck bitten off one night.

But Linda is different; she possesses a crucial skill: Witch Purification!

Once both sides have established initial trust, and Lulu experiences the benefits of purification and becomes addicted to it, she may eventually become a true member of the team.
