Charlotte asked, full of doubt, "Then how do I get in?"
Menilman said, "In a few days, a slave ship will enter Saint Michael's Island. It will be carrying orc slaves."
Charlotte asked, "And then?"
Menilman said, "Don't you know the Beast God Transformation Technique?"
Charlotte was shocked beyond shocked yet again and asked, "Senior, how did you know about that?"
Since Menilman already knew he could transform into an orc, Charlotte did not think there was any need to hide it.
But Charlotte was very curious. How had Menilman, so far out at sea, learned that he knew the Beast God Transformation Technique?
Menilman smiled faintly and said, "Domitian used to be his subordinate. He thought the Byronians were unreliable, fell out with the other orc tribal chiefs, and took some orc assassins out to sea to join me."
"When the orc allied forces besieged Strasbourg, Domitian was forced back by the Orc Elder Council through an Orc Blood Oath. After the crushing defeat, when he encountered you, he thought of having you disguise yourself as an orc slave and infiltrate Saint Michael's Island. That was why he taught you the Beast God Transformation Technique."
Charlotte stared blankly for a moment and asked, "So..."
Menilman said, "He was not there to assassinate you. He merely brought you my greetings."
Only then did Charlotte understand why that old leopard-man had infiltrated the orc Labyrinth Guardians. So that had been the reason.
Menilman smiled. "Domitian said you were interesting and well suited to infiltrating Saint Michael's Island, so he gave you a scare."
Charlotte recalled what the old leopard-man had said before leaving: "Make sure you practice the Beast God Transformation Technique properly. When I return next time, if you have mastered it, I'll take you to do something big..."
So
