A Disciple of Desire (3)

Entrusting the assassination of Qin Chu entirely to Ekaterina and Athena felt like a difficult task to accomplish. Rosweisse felt that the hope before her was becoming increasingly slim, and she didn't know how much longer she could hold on.

"Did you see Sylph die with your own eyes?" Rosweisse asked weakly, her lips trembling.

Aili shook her head. "No!"

"Everything was fine when we left, but for some reason, Sister Sylph suddenly revealed her whereabouts and was discovered by the Magic Creature."

"Ramon, along with a large number of elite Magic Creature, surrounded us. My sister and I had no choice but to flee. When we escaped, Sister Sylph was already surrounded by Ramon."

"That guy is so cruel, Sister Sylph is definitely going to be killed by him..."

"I'm so sorry to disappoint you, I'm not dead..."

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

The curtain was lifted, and Sylph's figure appeared outside.

Although Eileen and Aili escaped earlier, they lost their way due to the thick fog on their return journey. In addition, they had to walk back. In comparison, Qin Chu and Sylph could use magic and could fly directly from the sky, making them much faster.

No sooner had Eileen and Aili returned than Qin Chu and Sylph appeared at the camp.

Upon seeing Sylph suddenly appear, Eileen and Aili stared wide-eyed in disbelief, seemingly shocked that Sylph was still alive.

Why?

Why are you still alive?

Why can't they just die cleanly and neatly at the hands of the Magic Creature? Why do they have to stubbornly cling to life?

Does this damn bitch really want to take her Jello away from her?

A deep resentment churned within Aili's young heart.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, both able to see the shock, along with a slight sense of suppression and fear, in each other's eyes.

Rosweisse was first surprised, then overjoyed.

Although Ronald is dead, and Sylph is his rival in love, he can't worry about that now. The more people who survive, the better the chance of reviving Jello.

But what's with Sylph's outfit?

Why did you change into this maid outfit?

Aili reacted quickly; the shock and astonishment on her face swiftly turned into delight. With a cheer, she rushed over and grabbed Sylph's small hand, shaking it repeatedly. "Sister Sylph, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Do you know how much my sister and I regretted leaving? We should have stayed and fought those Magic Creature with you."

Aili looked full of regret, seemingly still resentful about how she and her sister had abandoned Sylph and run away.

A mocking smile played on Sylph's lips as she glanced at the seemingly delicate and pitiful Aili, her eyes brimming with tears. That expression might be incredibly alluring to most men, but it meant nothing to Sylph: "It's alright. I know you must be very regretful."

"Although I'm not entirely sure why the Magic Creature detected my invisibility back then, if all three of us had stayed there, none of us would have survived."

"You guys are also considering reviving Jello, right? After all, reviving Jello is the most important thing for our team."

"Anyone is willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve this goal."

"Ekaterina can sacrifice herself, Athena can sacrifice herself, Ronald can sacrifice himself, and I, Sylph, can sacrifice myself too."

"I won't blame you sisters for leaving without looking back."

A slightly sarcastic tone would make the surrounding atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

Rosweisse cleverly sensed that something was amiss; Sylph seemed to suspect that she had been discovered by the Magic Creature and that Aili had deliberately sabotaged the encounter.

Even if it wasn't intentional, Sylph was extremely unhappy that Eileen and Aili had abandoned her and left.

It's good that Sylph is alive, but... Rosweisse has an even bigger headache. The Hero's Party has been severely damaged by this incident, and it will definitely not be easy to mend such a rift.

And all of this is his own work.

Damn it!

Rosweisse struggled to keep her expression from completely breaking down; she even managed a weak smile, "Sylph, it's so good you're alive. You have no idea how much Aili cried just now, filled with guilt and sadness."

"Really? I'm so sorry then," Sylph said casually.

"By the way, there are some things I don't know if Aili and Eileen have told you, so I'll repeat them again," Sylph said coldly. "Ronald is dead."

"His storage ring has fallen into Ramon's hands, and Jello's Soul Fragment should be there too."

Rosweisse frowned; yet another piece of bad news.

Why is it that every time we take the initiative, the news that comes back is so disheartening?

Ramon is no easy opponent; he's just too big. Ordinary attacks are like tickling him. Trying to snatch Ronald's storage ring back from this giant who's tens of meters tall is going to be extremely difficult.

Damn it, Ronald, that piece of trash.

Not only did they fail to bring back Jello Geralt's Soul Fragment, they also made obtaining them even more difficult.

Why don't you just die?

Oh, right, he's dead.

"Furthermore, the reason Ramon was able to capture Ronald alive this time, and the reason he set a trap to lure us into it, was all thanks to a man named Horus," Sylph continued.

Her tone was very cold, like a routine report, without the slightest hint of enthusiasm.

"This person knows the Hero's Party very well; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he knows them inside and out."

"Ramon also attaches great importance to this person. It seems that this person has a deep-seated hatred with Jello and the Hero's Party. Ramon even found thousands of Magic Creature to torture Ronald, as Horus had requested..."

Rosweisse gently opened her small mouth!

"No doubt about it, it's the kind of torture you're imagining. They didn't even dispose of Ronald's body until he was completely dead."

"I suggest you investigate Horus thoroughly; you might find something useful," Sylph said, glancing at Rosweisse.

Rosweisse nodded, keeping those words in mind.

But Horus?

Who exactly is this person?

Rosweisse had never even heard of this name before; even if she wanted to investigate, where would she even begin?

"I see..."

Sylph nodded silently, then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, Sylph, you still haven't told me how you escaped... and what's with your clothes?" Rosweisse asked hurriedly, "Don't you hate these kinds of clothes the most?"

"I was almost surrounded, and in desperation, I wanted to find help, so I contacted Qin Chu..."

Qin Chu?

Rosweisse frowned immediately. "Why didn't you contact us? I..."

Sylph remained silent.

Rosweisse quickly realized what was happening and gave a helpless, wry smile.

Indeed, Aili and Eileen just abandoned Sylph. Under these circumstances, how could Sylph possibly trust the other members of the Hero's Party?

Perhaps it was in that desperate situation that Sylph, in her desperation, had no choice but to seek help from Qin Chu.

Ronald was entertained by thousands of Magic Creature, so it's easy to imagine how miserable Sylph would be if she were captured alive. Under such circumstances, it's perfectly normal for Sylph to seize any opportunity to survive.

Rosweisse could understand... but... she still couldn't forgive.

Seeking help from the Second-Generation Hero is a betrayal.

Furthermore, if Qin Chu really dies over there, how can Lord Jello be resurrected?

Didn't that bitch Sylph even consider this question?

Evil thoughts swirled in his mind, but he didn't show them on his face.

Rosweisse was somewhat puzzled. "But Qin Chu was still in the camp just now, how could he be here so quickly...?"

"He has two expensive magic scrolls that allow for long-distance spatial teleportation." Sylph glanced at Rosweisse: "It's said that during his duel with the First Prince, he bet his entire fortune, even borrowed money, on winning..."

"You know, the Hero has a lot of influence, so borrowing money isn't difficult for him, which is why he made a fortune."

"Then I found someone selling magic scrolls on the black market, so I bought them. Each scroll cost one million Mana."

Regarding why Qin Chu came to this conclusion, there is a subtle discrepancy between Sylph's account and the facts; this was at Qin Chu's request.

Although she didn't know the reason for doing so, Sylph was currently dissatisfied with the Hero's Party, so she didn't refuse.

The duel with the Crown Prince... Just thinking about that betting match makes Rosweisse want to cry. She staked her entire fortune of ten million Mana on the Crown Prince, and lost miserably.

All my investment was lost.

Recalling her painful memories, Rosweisse almost burst into tears.

As for the clothes they were wearing...

"Qin Chu forced me to wear this. As the price for him saving me, I have to be his maid for a while..." Sylph's small hands clenched unconsciously, her face flushed red. "That bastard, he even prepared a maid outfit."

Just how much does he like maids?

Wrath.

Sylph's face was flushed, her hands were clenched tightly, and she called Qin Chu a bastard.

It seems that Qin Chu's decision to force Sylph to wear a maid outfit has Wrath Sylph, and she probably hates Qin Chu to the core.

But Qin Chu is really something else.

He actually carries a maid outfit with him all the time. Does this guy want to turn all the women around him into maids?

What a terrible habit.

Sylph took a deep breath, suppressing her shyness. "Then, for the next period of time, I will stay by Qin Chu's side... You can handle the rest."

Staying here made her feel suffocated and nauseous; she would rather stay by Qin Chu's side, where she would feel much more relaxed.

With that, Sylph turned and left.

Only the three women remained in the room, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Eileen and Aili looked somewhat embarrassed.

The former Hero's Party, though seemingly still existing, was actually on the verge of collapse, and all of this was caused by them.

"Rosweisse, don't you think Sylph and Qin Chu are getting too close? She's actually going to become Qin Chu's maid? Do you think she might betray us?" After a long silence, Aili slowly spoke, "What if Qin Chu finds out about our plan..."

Rosweisse felt somewhat irritated.

It's all your fault. If you had hesitated even a little and hadn't abandoned Sylph so decisively, Sylph wouldn't have harbored such resentment.

Taking a deep breath, Rosweisse said, "Don't worry..."

"Sylph would never betray Lord Jello, and she would never betray us. That is the only thing I am absolutely certain of!"

Rosweisse knew perfectly well how deep Sylph's feelings for Jello were!

Chapter Two is here. Thank you for the 530 coins reward from "Let's Play Cards Together," and thank you for your support.

Chapter 268 Believers in Desire (3)

In fact, when Lord Jello was still alive, Sylph was regarded as the greatest enemy by Rosweisse among the six female members of the Hero's Party.

According to Rosweisse, Lord Jello accepted Athena only because of Athena special constitution, which could bring Jello powerful Magic Power. However, Lord Jello died before he could accept this gift.

As for Ekaterina, she was a drunkard with a terrible personality; Jello Ekaterina probably treated her like a brother.

Eileen and Aili are just two little girls. They're okay as younger sisters, but they lack any womanly charm. Their cuteness pales in comparison to their sex appeal.

Only Sylph.

It is a rare elf, with an excellent figure and appearance, no less than myself; it is a very powerful enemy.

By the way, besides Sylph, Rosweisse's second biggest worry is Ronald...

Rosweisse witnessed firsthand how heartbroken Sylph was after confessing her love to Jello and being rejected; at that moment, her elven dignity and pride vanished.

At that moment, Rosweisse had only one thought in her mind: if you're so heartbroken, why don't you just commit suicide?

At that time, Sylph was truly capable of committing suicide.

That kind of distraught expression is only seen in people who are extremely heartbroken.

Such a person would absolutely not give up the chance to revive Jello for Qin Chu... Of course, these are just speculations, lacking substantial evidence.
