But Levi didn't seem to notice anything amiss with Leah, and simply smiled as he continued:
"The letter has been delivered, and I should take my leave now."
"Her Majesty the Empress has just ascended the throne, and the capital is very busy, so I will not stay any longer."
Leah nodded, and was about to ask Leon beside her to see the guest out, but was interrupted by Levi's words:
"Please inform me once Miss Lia has found the entrance to the Gates of Hell."
"Also, never reveal Viktor's whereabouts to anyone other than me."
As he spoke, Levi's brows furrowed slightly, his tone revealing a seriousness.
Lia was puzzled. Why couldn't this matter be revealed?
But Levi didn't say much, he just pointed his finger to the sky:
"Your Majesty."
Lia suddenly realized and nodded.
After all, if the newly enthroned empress were to find out Victor's whereabouts...
Who knows what terrible things she might do?
The old emperor has abdicated, and the new emperor cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Seeing that the other party understood, Levi placed her hand slightly in front of her chest and gave Liya a graceful bow.
"There's no need to see me off."
Lia stood quietly, watching Duke Rivi’s robes sway gently in the breeze, like a fleeting cloud.
Although the other party declined to see her off, she still had Leon silently follow behind Duke Reeves.
Once the two left, there was no one else around.
Now, she can finally let go of all her worries and let her emotions flow freely.
Lia paced back and forth in the hall excitedly, her fists clenched and trembling slightly with excitement.
Her face was filled with barely suppressed joy, and she covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
They leaped and bounded through the hall like joyful sprites.
Great, we finally have news of Viktor's whereabouts.
Lia raised her head, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
No, we can't do that.
Being too excited would damage her image.
However, he couldn't suppress his excitement.
"That's great, that's great!"
Next, all we need to do is find the Cerberus.
There shouldn't be any problem with this; she's already sent someone to inform Coco.
Because the capital city needed to be renovated, mages from all over the country had to travel to the capital, and Kokot was no exception.
Although she was rather lazy, the mere presence of a fifth-tier mage like her was enough to attract countless mages to the capital.
Next, all we need to do is wait for Coco to return.
Just as Lia was filled with joy and couldn't help but jump around in the hall, covering her mouth and giggling.
A white cloud drifted silently in through the doorway, accompanied by a familiar voice softly saying:
"Lia, you wanted to see me about something..."
Sitting atop a cloud, Kokot blinked and just then saw Lydia jump up excitedly.
"yeah!"
"..."
Snap!
A crisp thud echoed through the quiet hall.
Leah, who had just jumped up, landed back on the floor, her smile suddenly freezing.
She turned her head and saw Cocotte.
Kokot blinked, and Leah blinked too.
"Goose?"
...
In the trial grounds where flames blazed and gears roared,
A surging, crimson-orange mass of ghosts, wielding jet-black iron maces, rushed toward "Erica".
Every time the undead monster gets a few centimeters closer to 'Erica', more undead will quickly emerge from behind it.
Looking around, the entire trial grounds were covered by an endless stream of dead souls.
They almost completely engulfed "Erica" standing in the center.
However, Erica remained completely unmoved by the sudden danger lurking around her.
The terrifying ghosts before her seemed insignificant in her eyes.
Even the ghostly audience members in the stands fell silent.
In the highest seat of the audience, Hades sat on his crimson throne with his arms crossed and his brow furrowed.
He looked down at Erica, watching the monsters relentlessly encroach on her living space.
"Hmph, are you giving up?"
Looking at the scene before him, Hades recalled that not long ago, the human had looked up firmly and met his gaze.
That look in his eyes was far from one of submission or surrender.
It's more like a challenge for him.
As he thought about the power this human possessed, his contempt gradually dissipated.
With only these monsters in this trial, the human shouldn't be unable to last even a hundred minutes.
"This is already the simplest trial."
Hades scoffed inwardly, but his gaze remained firmly fixed on Erica.
Trying to glean her next move.
"I hope you can bring me some surprises."
"Otherwise, I would not be willing to stir up a conflict among the gods for the sake of a piece of trash."
