Athena's Voice

With two thuds, the two young noblemen crashed to the ground from mid-air, their bodies twitching. She hadn't touched them at all; she was a germaphobe.

Ignoring the two fools behind him, the elf headed straight for the Holy Church.

Not far behind, a girl who was no more than 1.5 meters tall walked towards the two people on the ground with a grin. She had long golden hair tied into two pigtails on both sides of her small head, and her bright blue eyes revealed cleverness and cunning.

Her fair face radiated innocence and cuteness.

Just as the two nobles were struggling to get up from the ground, the little hand gently turned, and in the next second, the clothes on the two nobles disappeared completely.

In an instant, the two naked men attracted a large crowd of onlookers, with pointing fingers and whispers rising and falling.

"No way? It's only one centimeter?"

"I feel like he's even smaller than a peanut..."

"Tsk, anyone who marries him is really destined to be a widow for life..."

The mocking voices from behind elicited a burst of laughter.

The lovely girl, with a grin, tossed the gorgeous aristocratic clothes she was holding into the trash can.

The Holy Church.

The saint's boudoir.

Rosweisse was in a terrible mood; she had lost her last ten million in the gladiatorial arena.

The current saintess is so poor that she has no money left, which makes Rosweisse so depressed that she wants to cry.

The saintess's status also plummeted, and she was no longer as respected as before.

Athena also seemed to be going through an emotional low period because of her devotion to Qin Chu, and hadn't contacted her for days, so she was unaware of Qin Chu's recent situation.

She's been having such bad luck lately, with absolutely no good news. Her once-confident plans have been shattered by Benson's death and Karthus' impending execution, leaving the Hero's Party suddenly without two of its strongest members.

She could sense that things were gradually spiraling out of control.

Furthermore, because she had twice sneaked out, she had angered Pope Augustus, who issued a strict order that Rosweisse was forbidden from leaving the palace until Karthus was executed. Knight were even stationed at her door to guard her, as she had no money and could not even bribe the Knight at the gate.

Just as Rosweisse was feeling irritable, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Shaking her head, Rosweisse quickly composed herself, her face regaining its innocence and naivety, tinged with a hint of melancholy—perfectly reflecting her current situation. She walked to the door and opened it. "Who is it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a golden-haired elf stood before him.

A radiant smile instantly bloomed on Rosweisse's face, and she cheered, "Sylph..."

That's right, this elf is none other than Sylph, the Ghost Archer, a member of the Hero's Party.

A powerful woman skilled in archery and magic.

Immediately, Rosweisse's gaze shifted to behind Sylph, where a playful girl was gently waving her little hand, her face beaming with even greater joy. "Aili..."

"You're back too."

Aili one of the Twin Thieves in the Hero's Party.

The Twin Thieves: Don't let their innocent faces and petite figures fool you; both girls possess the skills of Thief Saint.

For some reason, their bodies stopped developing and growing after the age of fifteen, so they were actually about the same age as Rosweisse.

Sylph's expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that she had known all along that Aili had been following her.

Aili's body blurred into a shadow as she threw herself into Rosweisse's arms, burying her head against Rosweisse's chest and nuzzling against her. "Sister Rosweisse, we're finally back! I missed you so much..."

Do you want me dead?

A shadow of gloom instantly crossed Rosweisse's eyes.

Eileen and Aili, those two little girls... taking advantage of their petite appearance, often snuggle into Jello's arms like this, making Rosweisse jealous to the point of madness every time.

And then there's Sylph, completely lacking the reserve and elegance of an elf, actually confessing her love directly to Lord Jello... Rosweisse mentally devised forty-nine different ways for Sylph to die, each more cruel than the last...

Although a gloomy mood filled her heart, Rosweisse's face was beaming with smiles.

The two of them came back at just the right time. She needed help right now, and these two bitches were actually somewhat useful!

If those two idiots could offer themselves to Qin Chu like Athena and Ekaterina did, that would be wonderful; she would have two less competitors.

Chapter 159 Athena's Voice

(Requesting monthly votes and recommendation votes)

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Rosweisse invited the two into her boudoir. The room was slightly messy, a testament to Rosweisse's recent terrible mood.

Rosweisse warmly prepared tea for the two of them. She really wanted to add something random to the tea, but ultimately refrained from doing so.

"Phew... Finally back in the Imperial City." Aili took a sip of tea, sat down in a chair, stretched her slender arms and legs, and said with a grin.

Those slender, fair arms of hers had torn open countless throats with a dagger.

As Thief Saint, the sisters Eileen and Aili are skilled in assassination. They can end one life after another from the most unexpected angles, but their innocent and cute appearance makes them very deceptive.

Bah, you whore.

Rosweisse cursed inwardly, but her face remained gentle with a smile, "Aili, why are you the only one back? Where's your sister?"

"She had other things to take care of and was delayed for a while, but I rushed back as soon as I received your message." Aili said with a smile, "Is it really possible for Brother Jello to be resurrected?"

Sylph's golden eyes flickered, clearly showing she cared about the issue.

Rosweisse nodded. "Athena has confirmed the contents recorded on the scroll, and they should be correct."

"I can't guarantee it 100%, but... even if the hope is slim, will you give up?"

Aili immediately shook her head. "How could that be? Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'll definitely try."

A thin, sharp blade appeared between Aili's little fingers, spinning nimbly. It wasn't even a dagger, just a double-edged blade that gleamed with a chilling light as it spun rapidly.

"What happens to the Second-Generation Hero has nothing to do with us, right? As long as we can revive Brother Jello, let alone just a Second-Generation Hero, I'll even take the life of Augustus Saint Monica for you." A delicate and lovely face, yet she uttered chilling words.

In Aili's heart, Jello is the most important person, just like the other members of the Hero's Party.

"By the way, could I take a look at the scroll?"

Rosweisse shook her head, intending to refuse, but considering that Sylph and Aili were very useful people, and that both of them were thoughtful and meticulous, unlike Ekaterina was carefree and prone to making mistakes when drunk.

Finally, Rosweisse nodded, took out the scroll of Resurrection Spell, and opened it slightly in front of Sylph and Aili.

"Soul Fragment, the Hero's Blood..."

"By the way, who wrote this? The handwriting is so ugly, it's almost as bad as Jello's."

Aili muttered, "It doesn't say exactly how much blood we need. If it's a small amount, maybe we can talk to the Second-Generation Hero and he'll give us some."

Rosweisse looked disdainful and put away the scroll. "Do you think that's possible? The status of Hero is so noble. Do you think Second-Generation Hero would allow anyone to share his glory? Once he finds out, let alone giving us his blood, he'll probably try every possible way to stop us."

"Moreover, precisely because it wasn't clearly stated how much was needed, we need to prepare for the worst, don't we? Therefore, draining the Hero of all his blood is the only option."

If she could resurrect Jello, she could become more ruthless and cruel than anyone else.

Aili and Sylph both agreed, since there was only one Soul Fragment and only one chance, so they had to make the most thorough preparations possible.

"What about Karthus?" Sylph asked.

In the Hero's Party, Sylph is the only female member who has a good relationship with Karthus, because Karthus once saved Sylph's life.

"Wait a minute, let me contact Athena ...and let's call Ekaterina too. Although Ekaterina is a bit rough around the edges, she can sometimes offer good advice." Rosweisse thought for a moment and said, "The situation in Karthus is very complicated; let's discuss it together later..."

As she spoke, Rosweisse pressed her ear.

Athena is a very powerful mage and should be very sensitive to magic, normally able to immediately detect Message Magic.

But this time, after several seconds, there was still no response from the other end, which made Rosweisse a little irritated. "Could they still be sleeping?"

"What were you doing last night in broad daylight?"

After the Message Magic continued for a while, Athena finally answered the message from the other end, "Rosweisse?"

Athena's voice sounded languid, suggesting she had just woken up.

"Yes, it's me." Rosweisse stuck out her tongue. "Sister Athena, Sylph and Eileen have returned to the Imperial City. Could you come to my place? We sisters can discuss our next steps together."

"Of course... um..."

A wondrous voice, languid yet alluring, came from the other end of the Message Magic.

Rosweisse's expression was full of confusion. "Sister Athena, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just stretched and accidentally bumped my hand on the wall," Athena quickly explained. "I'll get ready and be right there."

Athena abruptly ended the message, leaving Rosweisse somewhat bewildered.

However, Rosweisse didn't think too much about it, since she had just woken up and indeed had many things to deal with.

On the other side.

Inside the imperial palace.

Half an hour later, Athena finally started tidying up as she had instructed.

Her face was still full of resentment, and she glared at Qin Chu reproachfully.

That guy was really wicked. He knew I was just exchanging magical messages with Rosweisse, and he did it on purpose... He almost exposed me in front of Rosweisse.

Qin Chu just chuckled. In reality, he would have preferred Athena to continue communicating with Rosweisse over a long distance, as that would have been more exciting. Unfortunately, Athena wasn't cooperating.

Athena's face was flushed, her hair was damp with sweat, and she exuded an amazing charm and allure, making Qin Chu's mouth water.

If Qin Chu hadn't known it wasn't the right time, he would have really wanted to go through another round.

Athena didn't try to hide anything from Qin Chu. She changed into her usual magic robe right in front of Qin Chu and threw a black object at Qin Chu: "You promised it was a thank-you gift for me, but you tore it up yourself."

"Fine, I have important things to do, I won't argue with you."

After leaving those words behind, Athena swayed her sexy figure and swayed away from the room.

Just after Athena's figure disappeared, Qin Chu's smile remained unchanged, but his aura gradually turned sinister. Although the Message Magic was aimed at Athena, he and Athena were extremely close at the time...

So, I managed to overhear a little bit of what was going on.

Aili and Sylph appeared.

Recalling the impressions of these two people in my mind, they were not easy to deal with.

Sylph is like a sniper on Earth; her bow and arrow can aim at targets thousands of meters away, and her magic arrows can pierce your head without you even noticing.

As for Aili, although she appears innocent and cute, like a girl who doesn't know the ways of the world, the two sisters, Eileen Aili, have countless ways of killing. As long as they can end the life of their target, they will use all kinds of means, whether it is assassination, poisoning, or sneak attack, they will stop at nothing.

Rosweisse's summoning of Athena should be a major topic of discussion, right?

Athena probably won't tell herself what they discussed.

But, someone else will.

Qin Chu looked toward the hall, where a woman in crimson was walking briskly.

That was Ekaterina, Qin Chu's most secretive and loyal spy planted within the Hero's Party.

"Master, what about Rosweisse...?"

"I already know what happened. Go there now. Remember what I told you: you must disguise yourself perfectly. You absolutely cannot let them notice anything unusual about you, understand? To dispel any suspicion, you can even be a little more proactive at times."

Ekaterina took a breath, nodded heavily, and then quickly left.

Qin Chu watched Ekaterina's retreating figure with a cold gaze.

Qin Chu won't let Ekaterina and Athena die so soon; these two women are still useful and are quite good spies to be planted in the Hero's Party.

Once the members of the Hero's Party had been mostly eliminated, it would be time for their mission and their lives to come to an end.

He was looking forward to the moment when he could crush the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment in front of Ekaterina, awaken the Scarlet Valkyrie from her control, and tell Athena that there was no remnant of Jello's soul at all, and that it was all his own. He wondered what expressions the two women would have.

After a long wait, Ekaterina and Athena finally appeared in Rosweisse's boudoir.

The five women embraced warmly, but their thoughts were completely different.

Behind Athena's smiling face lay deep suspicion. Her gaze swept over Rosweisse, Sylph, and Aili; all three could be the mole. However, she was currently too busy with Jello's resurrection to investigate who was the most suspicious.
