Lilith pushed open a secret door beside her and pulled Luo Luo into it. Behind the door was a small tavern, where the customers were toasting and drinking. Other than that, some people were arm-wrestling or chatting passionately with the waitresses at the side.
Lilith and Lolo were both wearing cloaks, and nobody noticed their appearance. They came out from behind the bar counter and walked to the front door. When they were about to push the door open, Lilith suddenly pulled Lolo and pushed her against the wall. Their lips were only half a centimeter away from each other.
Lolo was startled by this sudden scene. Whistles sounded in the tavern, and at this moment, a dozen men in black rushed in. They just glanced at the two of them who were "acting intimately" and turned their heads elsewhere, looking for suspicious people in the tavern.
Then, another group of people came out from the back door. After the two groups met, they began to lock down and search the tavern, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many customers. However, when one of the men in black nailed an unlucky guy's right hand to the table, the rest of the people in the tavern wisely remained silent.
Unfortunately, after searching around, they found nothing. It was not until this moment that someone realized that the two girls who had been intimate with each other by the door were long gone.
"President Lilith, where are we going now?" Lolo asked the female mage in front of her.
"Home of Fishermen, a small bookstore. That's the only place that's safe in Gudilesi City now, but we have to make sure that there are no pursuers behind us when we go there," Lilith explained. Home of Fishermen and Golden Rose were not in the same block, and there was still some distance between them. If they walked, it would take about one magic hour.
Usually, it would not be a problem, but now Gudilesi City was full of people looking for Lolo. Just now, they almost ran into a group of people who were chasing them. It was almost impossible to travel for an hour without being discovered.
"I prepared a teleportation array nearby, but someone used a super-large magic device to lock down the entire Gudilesi City. Now it's impossible to teleport in the city," Lilith said.
"Then how do we go there?"
"By carriage."
"Won't the carriage be stopped?"
"Of course, ordinary carriages will be stopped, but there's one that few people will bother with. The carriage that Head Chef Ayesha used to transport ingredients has been searched once. At least in the next half an hour, no one will stop this empty carriage again."
While they were talking, the female elven chef's carriage stopped next to them. Ayesha jumped off, and the latter sat in the driver's seat instead of her. At the same time, Lilith also turned into Ayesha.
The vice president of the Association of Mages nodded to the female elven chef and immediately drove the carriage away after Lolo got on it.
Lolo had a stomach full of questions. She had wanted to ask for a long time, but she never had the chance. Now that they were a little safer, she could not help but ask, "Do you know Head Chef Ayesha?"
Lilith nodded. "We are friends. We've known each other since we were young. Ayesha's parents are scholars, and her family moved to Gudilesi when she was very young. When she grew up, she returned to her hometown to hone her culinary skills. I studied magic at St. Roland Academy of Magic, and after I came back, I became the head chef at Golden Rose."
"Oh, she told me before, 'Let that guy pay for the meal as soon as possible'. May I know what she meant by that?"
Lilith paused as if she was digesting the news. After a while, she said, "Thank you. I'll let that guy pay for the meal as soon as possible."
…
"Ms. Olavian, you've come from afar. Why don't we have supper together? I know someone who can cook very well." D 'Adrion rubbed his chin. "That guy seems to be a chef in a noble restaurant. More importantly, she has a good relationship with Lilith. She doesn't have to pay to eat at her restaurant. Well, anyway, you can't do anything else if you want to keep an eye on me."
"Don't beat around the bush. You must have a way to contact His Holiness Atlede Richard Holstein," Olavian said in a deep voice. "Tonight's incident is much more serious than you think."
"How do you know what I'm thinking?" The president of the Association of Mages sat at his desk and shook his chair.
"According to the latest news we have, the temple has not only sent the people from the Court of Heresy, but also a cardinal has come to Gudilesi. They are determined to get the girl named Hartfilia," Olavian said solemnly.
"There's a cardinal involved tonight?" D 'Adrion looked a little surprised. "Then, you still want to negotiate with Rob by protecting the girl from the Bretton Family?"
Apart from Pope Van 'er the Fifth, the cardinal had the highest power in the temple. There were only three of them, and all of them were grade-nine masters. In terms of status, they were comparable to Steins and Arbus. Priests were the weakest among all the professions because they lacked effective means of attack. However, in contrast, they were strong in group battles. A cardinal could even forcibly turn a team of grade-eight knights into grade-nine fighters. This was the terrifying thing about grade-nine priests.
"I lied before," Olavian admitted. "With the strength of the Association of Mages in Gudilesi tonight, I'm afraid they can't stop the girl from the Bretton Family from the cardinal. I just want to find her first and use her to bring His Holiness Atlede Richard Holstein back to the Royal College of Magic and Magic."
"Tsk tsk, that's really despicable. But now that you mention it, I know where that guy is now."
Olavian's eyes lit up. "Where?"
"Where else can he be? Of course, he's going to find the cardinal of the temple," D 'Adrion said leisurely.
"Now is not the time to joke, right?" Olavian was shocked.
"I'm not joking. Hey, you said it yourself. There are too many people coming to catch the girl tonight. No matter how strong he is, he can't stop so many people. In this case, he can only rely on some external forces. Let me ask you, if he fights with the cardinal now, what are you going to do?"
"His Holiness Atlede Richard Holstein's safety is an S-rank in the Association of Mages. He's even more important than Vice Chairman Arbus and Vice Chairman Steins. If his life is threatened, then according to the rules, all the magicians in Gudilesi City must enter a state of Level 1 combat readiness," Olavian said word by word.
