"She is." After a pause, she said, "But we'll be getting off at Damir Port tomorrow."
Fine, fine, fine. One Demoness of Despair left, and now an even scarier Demoness had arrived, huh?
[Lunatic on the Right] really had to surprise me every single time!
Trissy set the bag in her hand on the floor. "All right, I've delivered everything. I'll head back now."
"Wait!"
Edward forced himself to forget about that mysterious person for now and instead said, "Do you think the people from the Demoness Church... that Lady Despair, will give up looking for you?"
Trissy visibly froze. The meekness she had put on gradually vanished from her face. She studied Edward in puzzlement and asked gravely, "You know me?"
"Of course."
Her eyes flickered, and she nodded. "She probably won't give up. But I've already obtained that lord's protection."
Hiss, this was different from the original story again.
A "higher-up" in the Demoness Church had chosen to protect Trissy? Was this genuine protection, or another form of control in disguise?
If it was the latter, that wasn't hard to understand.
If it was the former, someone in the Demoness Church actually dared to obstruct the Primordial Demoness's descent?
"I understand."
Trissy backed out of the room and left.
After closing the door, Edward took out the Green Crystal:
"The bag of things in front of me is dangerous!"
After he silently repeated it seven times, the crystal rotated counterclockwise.
After hesitating for a while, Edward put on gloves and opened the bag. Inside were several tin boxes, each labeled: Black Abyss Demon Fish crystals, Black Abyss Demon Fish blood, an Agate Peacock egg, pure water, golden mandrake juice, Shadow Lizard scales, a murloc's pituitary gland, Narcissus juice, and so on.
"These are..."
He quickly remembered: potion ingredients
