A fallen drow who was dancing spotted Ashe in the crowd, so he turned around and used his psychic powers to communicate with his companions.

Noticing this detail, Ashe turned and walked out of the crowd and entered an apartment building near the square.

Soon, the fallen drow ended their performance for the day, but instead of taking their male companions home as they did in the past, they packed up their things and left in a hurry.

The young people who had been waiting for the opportunity to spend the night with them immediately booed in disappointment, but fortunately, a new singer soon came on stage and noisy music sounded in the square again.

"What should I call you? The newest female pet of the Artificer? Or... a traitor to the sect!"

In the slightly dirty and messy apartment corridor, the Fallen Drow who came hurriedly made a blunt mockery as soon as he saw Ashe.

However, Ashe was not angry about this. Instead, she said calmly, "I am still moving forward according to the original plan. The remarks you heard are not the real facts!"

When saying this, Ashe's eyes were determined as if she was going to convert to Rose.

But the three fallen drow were not moved by the determination in her eyes at all.

"Have you forgotten the customs of the Underdark? We all obey whoever is stronger. You are just a traitor now. Even if what you said is true, we will not do anything to help you."

Hearing these words, Ashe was slightly startled, and then she seemed to be amused and actually laughed.

"Haha... Have you ever thought about this? You three are just level 6 Soul Blades. What can you use to fight me? As long as I use my psychic power to brainwash you into slaves, I will be able to..."

Raising her hand, Ashe was about to attack the three people, but a flash of psychic teleportation suddenly appeared behind her.

The drow who once drained the noble children dry and the drow who rescued her appeared here.

The warning from psychic power allowed Ashe to flash away from where she had just stood.

The next moment, four psychic blades hit there.

"Lauren, I was slandered!"

Without looking at the other drow, Ashe looked at the other psionicist present and tried to speak out in defense.

But the drow whom she called Lauren did not have any special reaction. She just waved at the three drow and asked them to hide behind her.

Seeing this, Ashe became even more anxious.

"I can let you read my memories psionically! I haven't betrayed you!"

Pulling off the hood on her head, Ashe took a step forward, but in return Lauren and the other drow took a step back.

Ash looked at his former friend in a daze, unable to believe that Lauren, who had once worked hard with him, didn't believe in him either.

Just then, the Drow, whom she called Lauren, spoke.

"Excellent psychic users can modify their own memories, and you, Eroshine, are a psychic who can do this!"

Hearing this, Ashe's face twitched slightly.

She once used this trick to deceive the former Patriarch of the Rose Cult, but she didn't expect that this ability would stab her in the back today.

An unknown anger burned in her heart. She couldn't believe that the sect she had run for so long was taken away by rumors.

In extreme emotions, Ashe's psychic power began to become violent and chaotic.

Lauren on the other side seemed to have noticed this, so she said, "If you want to prove your loyalty, the sect has a task for you to complete. If you succeed, no matter what others say, I will stand by you."

These words made the four drow standing behind Lauren quite surprised and uncertain, but after seeing that something seemed wrong with Ashe, they subconsciously thought that this should be Lauren's strategy to delay the enemy.

A faint spiritual energy permeated the entire corridor. The scene suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was so depressing that people felt a little breathless.

After a long moment, Ash lowered his head and asked in a breathless voice, "What mission?"

After saying that, she threw out a spirit card.

Ashe raised her hand to catch it, then used her psychic power to activate the card, revealing the spirit within it.

It was the soul of a spider elf, but compared to ordinary spider elves, this soul had a more enchanting beauty.

She was wearing "clothes" made of silver ornaments, and large areas of her purple-black skin were exposed to the air, making her look very revealing.

After a moment's silence, Ash nodded.

…

The scene of the phantom device ended here, and the environment around Carl returned to its original appearance in the private room.

After watching everything quietly, Nia asked Karl.

"How did you take this photo? Were you following her?"

Tracking a psychic is quite difficult, and Nia couldn't imagine how Carl did it.

If you simply use the arcane eye mechanism, with its invisibility effect, you can immediately spot the other party once their psychic power is activated.

"Hey! When I was building District 6, I thought that it might become Tharn-like and gradually become a gathering place for gangsters, so I asked V to install secret video recording devices in many buildings during construction. These were all recorded with those devices."

After a dry cough, Carl told the truth about the source of the videotape.

Suddenly, Nia's face changed.

As if he knew what she was going to say, Karl quickly explained: “Only District 6 has undergone this kind of transformation, and most of them are installed in public places. The criminals who assassinated members of the Linland family were not photographed.”

Nia's expression became visibly depressed.

"Alas~, I really want the reward offered by the Dragon Mark Family, what a pity."

Hearing this, Karl leaned back, and his body made a crackling sound.

"Do you think those things are so easy to get? It's not so easy to take advantage of the Dragon Mark Family. Let's just watch the show from the sidelines.

By the way, are you interested in going to Lonely Mountain with me sometime to check out the situation there? I haven't been there since we caused the anomaly there.

I heard that there is a stable space gate leading to the plane of air there, which should be quite spectacular."

Recently, Carl has received a lot of information about Lonely Mountain from adventurers.

This made him somewhat concerned about the situation of the Lonely Mountain ruins, and he felt that the place did not become like that for no reason.

"Of course you can, but have you decided on the person?"

Sitting in Karl's arms on the left very naturally, Nia played with her hair with her fingers and asked with a smile on her face.

"How about just the four of us? Bane and the others seem to have lost their motivation to adventure because they have gained too much treasure. Lisanna is still young and can't go to such a dangerous place."

"Let's take Elise and Ashe with us. I feel like if we don't keep an eye on those two guys, they might do something."

At this time, Hope also sat in Carl's arms on the other side and joined the conversation.

Ying moved into the gap between Carl and the seat without any emotion. For a moment, Carl was completely surrounded by them.
