Chapter 476: 299 Just treat it as for me (4K, 1st update)

"Are you saying that you want to face her alone now?"

"Yes."

"..."

Herbert frowned, looking puzzled as he watched Svanni suddenly stop in front of the bell tower. "What do you mean by this? Do you think we’re just playing games with you?"

"At this point, we’re already here, you aren’t joking with me, are you?"

Svanni remained silent, gazing into Herbert’s eyes, shook her head slightly.

Just moments ago, after they dealt with the bodies of the two monsters, they had successfully found the secret pathway prepared years ago.

The house that Svanni had secretly prepared for concealment had been leveled, and in its place stood a tall bell tower.

But fortunately, she had already prepared, setting multiple safeguards outside the passage, ensuring that no one had touched it.

That is to say, as long as they enter this pathway, they can bypass the defenses and enter the Moore clan’s castle.

Yet just as Herbert was about to enter the bell tower, Svanni, who entered first, stopped them outside. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

And when faced with questioning, Svanni said something that made Herbert frown deeply—please stop here.

You no longer need to proceed further.

After speaking, Svanni added several additional barriers.

As the only one among them who could wield magic in the Dark Territory, her power at this moment surpassed Eliza.

A simple magical barrier was enough to halt Herbert and the others.

"I’m sorry, but please remain here."

Under the shadow of the bell tower, the Dark Elf, with a calm expression, shook her head and said softly, "The rest of the matter, let me handle it alone."

"This is a grievance between Stella and me, between sisters."

Her tone was calm, as if she were speaking of something very ordinary.

But this calmness, the more serene it was, the tighter Herbert’s brows furrowed.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Yet Svanni, as if she hadn’t noticed Herbert’s displeasure, continued to speak independently: "I’ve already checked, the restrictions here haven’t been touched by anyone."

"I’ve prepared a secret laboratory underground here, isolated from all external perceptions, and there’s ample food and water inside. You can wait here for months."

As Malagas’ former local tyrant, Svanni had left many traces in this city.

Although time has erased most of these traces over the centuries, some well-preserved contingencies remain.

For example, a secret refuge that can isolate any information from the outside world.

"If I succeed, I’ll come back to find you, but if I fail, then just stay inside with peace of mind."

"Wait a while, and after everything is over, the curfew will likely be lifted. By then, if you wish to leave, no one can stop you."

She slightly bowed to the expressionless Herbert and said softly:

"Sorry, it’s my fault for underestimating Stella’s desire for power, which has reached such a frenzied extent."

"Given the current situation, the number of people is no longer important."

Upon entering Malagas, Svanni immediately sensed something amiss.

As a grand mage skilled in arrays, she knew what a large-scale ritual of this magnitude meant.

Stella intended not only to sacrifice the outsiders in the city but planned to offer up everyone, including the clansmen, to the Evil God.

Crazy?

Yes, it is crazy.

Moreover, this act isn’t just mad, it also signifies that Stella’s power far exceeds previous expectations.

Stella might not have been forcibly elevated by the Evil God to just the entry level of the Legendary stage, but quite possibly had already reached the Legendary Peak.

She was only one step away from ascending to become a new epic powerhouse, the Apostle of the God of Sinful Desire, becoming His true Agent.

And against such an existence, even if the three of them attacked together, it might not go well.

Since that’s the case, instead of all three risking it, it’s better for her to bear this responsibility alone.

Let her face it all on her own.

Within the bell tower, Svanni stood with her head bowed quietly, saying nothing.

Outside the bell tower, it was equally silent.

Herbert silently frowned, fingers gently tapping on the hilt of his sword.

Eliza raised her eyebrows, puzzled, unable to understand what this person was suddenly up to.

However, because this matter was between Herbert and "Vilamay," she did not speak up but watched as a bystander.

And Teresa, completely unable to grasp the situation, was secretly observing everything.

The girl coiled her snake tail as much as possible, trying to minimize her size and hide in this awkward atmosphere.

Eh eh eh, what exactly is happening?

Is it a quarrel between the knight and the others?

"..."

Herbert frowned for a while before finally shaking his head, exhaling slowly, and asked coldly:

"So you’re saying you lied to me, that from the beginning you never believed we could successfully assassinate her?"

In the face of Herbert’s cold questioning, Svanni remained calm and nodded frankly.

"Yes, I deceived you, betrayed your trust in me."

"From the beginning, my only goal was for you to bring me here; everything else I did was merely a façade."
