Noita immediately thought of her special feature: "Silence spell?"
"Not at all."
There is also the characteristic of not being determined by fate.
The doe walks on the path of enlightenment. It is good at interpreting prophecies, exploring destiny, and understanding the nodes of complex things.
Noita was not in the destiny, and she was endowed with the art of silence given by someone who seemed to be immortal. These two special features were enough to make the doe tolerant of her.
After realizing that she was indeed being treated specially, Noita felt a lot more relaxed, at least not as reserved as before.
She asked, "In other words, anyone proficient in soul studies can see through my disguise through the soul?"
"Yes. But it's not visible now. The moonlight obscures your soul. If one's attainments in soul studies are insufficient and one hasn't advanced far enough on the Path of Enlightenment, one won't be able to see through your disguise." The doe said, "When it comes to physical modification, those on the Path of Cups have a natural advantage."
"I understand, but I still want to see your true appearance."
"There's nothing to see." The doe shook her head slightly, and the next moment they arrived at the doe's residence.
It was a spotless cave, so empty that even mice would pity the occupants by dropping a few grains of rice into the room.
Noita glanced at the cave and then his eyes fell on the doe.
She couldn't wait to uncover the mystery of the doe.
As she stared closely, the doe seemed to refresh, jumping a frame in Noita's eyes, and a frame later a girl with long light blue hair appeared in the same place.
She wore a simple green short skirt and a laurel wreath on her head. She had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her pink ears were slightly pointed. Her eyes were indifferent, as if she knew everything in the world. Her expression was cold, and she exuded an inhumanity that kept people at a distance.
It is so solemn and sacred that it makes people want to kowtow.
The only drawback is that she is only about 1.5 meters tall.
"Is it Lady Luhua?" Noita asked in disbelief. Luhua is the name of the doe.
This matter was mentioned in both the diary and Wuhua.
Lu Hua said coldly: "Yes."
I just can't connect this person with the gentle doe I imagined.
Noita imagined the doe to be a gentle lady similar to the Nine-Colored Deer, but she didn't expect the little girl she actually saw to be as cold as ice.
The doe's human form only lasted a few seconds before it returned to its original form.
It said gently, "How about this? Now that you and I know each other's true appearance, we can cancel each other out?"
"Ah."
Noita looked at the photo, undistorted it, and looked at the doe's true face.
"That's it. I will use this image as your spokesperson from now on."
Anyway, this look was originally only used in front of Adele, and now that I have found an officially endorsed identity, it’s okay.
However, Noita still had one thing in mind: "Why use my real appearance as a spokesperson? I think the disguised appearance is pretty good too."
The doe smiled softly. "That one isn't as pretty as this one. I want to use your pretty face to trick people into joining me. Look, you can tell from your appearance that you're a sentimental, mean woman. It's easy to trick people into joining me. If your subordinates don't work hard, you can pay them enough and give them some PUA, and they'll definitely work their hardest."
Chapter 107 Sisterly Love
Noita felt that the doe was harboring evil intentions, but she had no evidence. She glanced leisurely at the doe's elegant figure and was speechless.
Later, the doe took her to the top of the mountain and pointed out the residences and personalities of different shamans in the light so strong that it could burn her skin. In the introduction, Noita discovered that the shamans of the holy mountain had a special liking for lush snow forests and white stone steps.
Most of them live near the six white stone steps that lead directly to the top of the mountain, while those who live alone prefer to live in pine cones and crevices in the rocks.
At the same time, the doe told Noita that if she wanted to climb the holy mountain, her range of activities would be within a kilometer range centered on the white stone steps, and she might encounter unpredictable consequences if she exceeded this range.
When Noita asked it why, the doe replied that it had a conflict with some shamans, and some of the sinister and cunning ones among them might dislike her and couldn't control themselves and punch her.
"Do you have such a bad relationship with your colleagues?" Noita was surprised.
"It's just some old grudges. Plus, they're not happy with me, the leader of the peace talks with the association. They feel like I betrayed the mountain people. The new hatred and old grudges all added up, and that's it."
The doe pondered, "But they're being measured. They probably won't kill you."
Can this be said to be the right thing to do?
Noita's eyes widened and she said, "What if?"
The doe admired Noita's extravagant performance with the same tolerant attitude a mother gives her child. Then she said, "I can promise you that if you call my name here, I'll be there in no time, so please put away your aggrieved and worried look. I'm not stingy with rewards, but just because you cry and make a fuss doesn't mean I'll give you candy."
It reveals its true intention: "I have a lot of money at my disposal. If you really achieve something, it will all be yours."
Noita wasn't embarrassed at all when the doe revealed her secret thoughts. She suppressed her laughter and complained quietly, "Didn't they say it was a sinecure?"
"Compared to risking your life as an adventurer, this is truly a sinecure and very safe, so the funding I can give you is limited," the doe said softly. "I can't just give you money to live an extravagant life for no reason. So, achieve something, at least give me a reason to give you the money."
Seeing Noita's lack of interest, the doe changed her approach: "The association will allocate funds to me regularly, but if the previous amount is not spent, the next month's funding target will be reduced, and you will spend a lot less money."
Noita thought about it and felt that these words sounded very familiar. It seemed that he had heard them from a research friend in his previous life.
In any case, this statement did serve as a wake-up call to Noita. After all, these were the funds from a wealthy dog-eating family, and she had plenty of ways to burn through the money.
She came to her senses and, understanding what he meant, reached out to the doe. "Give me some funds for the event. You can use my photos to scam people as you please. I want to choose a better working environment for my future colleagues."
The doe's smile is like a white lotus in full bloom.
After chatting for a while on the mountain, the doe let Noita do what she wanted.
Taking the certificate given to her by the doe, Noita went straight to the building complex that was still under construction on the edge of the snowfield and asked the construction team for a high-quality alchemy workshop with a large area.
The construction manager listened to her request patiently, and soon a well-dressed lady came walking through the snow.
She introduced herself politely, "Hello, sir. I'm Malachite, the contact person assigned to you by the association. If you need anything, please let me know and I will pass it on to the association."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Noita." Noita held Malachite's hand and enthusiastically stated her needs. She needed a refining workshop that met the quality standards of Chongtianling and had instruments such as a magic energy analyzer.
Hearing Noita's request, Malachite pondered and said, "Of course, I can, but please sign and report it."
A file box unfolded in front of Noita, with a stack of white paper inside. As Noita made his request, black and white words appeared on the paper.
Noita signed his name with a flourish of his pen.
Malachite looked around and asked, "Where is your R&D team? Do you need food and lodging until the workshop is established?"
“In fact, I don’t have a team yet.”
Malachite was stunned.
"But the shaman said she would take care of it. I'm just the first employee she recruited."
The logs indicate that the doe maintains a low level of attention towards her.
Her answer was to urge the doe to recruit people quickly, lest the workshop be built before all team members arrived.
"I see."
Malachite nodded and then led the overly beautiful shaman confidant to the dormitory provided to the Holy Mountain Group.
The constant temperature magic circle has been activated, and in the residential area, warmth will drive away the severe cold.
The warmth made Malachite's face look better. She introduced the cafeteria, clinic, park and shops along the way in a gentle tone and with detailed content. However, only the cafeteria slightly piqued Noita's interest.
Noita looked around the empty streets and asked who would be in charge of her security.
Malachite replied, "The guards of Serkar will maintain order in the town and protect the safety of the residents."
The Adventurer's Guild outsourced all security outside of important locations to Serkar.
The two chatted all the way and parted ways only when they reached the dormitory. Before leaving, Malachite left her his contact information.
When they were about to separate, Malachite emphasized that the doe was the association's closest partner, and if they had any needs, they must tell the association.
Noita agreed readily, politely escorted Malachite out of the dormitory, and closed the door without hesitation.
The dormitory provided to Noita was empty and filled with a stuffy smell after the renovation. Noita opened the window to ventilate the room, brought bedding from Mencheng, spread it on the bed, and lay on his side to rest.
As she was lying there, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She came here just to find out the situation and see what the big move that Luo Xiweiya mentioned was. As a result, after being fooled by the doe, she had to start working.
What is this?
Noita's intuition told her that the doe must be hiding something, but it would not reveal the secret.
Just as Noita still doesn't know why the doe cooperated with the association so quickly and became its "closest partner", it seems as if it had already made up its mind to join the association.
As he thought about it, Noita threw the complicated thoughts out of his mind.
Since the doe gave her money, she didn't have to think too much.
She was ready to enjoy this leisure time, but the necklace on her chest suddenly became hot, so hot that it could burn her skin.
Noita was awakened by the burn.
She took down the fire, wondering what had gone mad with it.
The temperature of the fire rose rapidly, and soon it was too hot for people to hold. Noita let go and used the wind to hold it up.
Its temperature quickly rose to a thousand degrees, and the dangerously bright light accompanied by the high temperature stung the girl's eyes, as if it were a burning fire. Suddenly, the temperature dropped again, and the light dimmed sharply, but it resumed shining after a moment.
The rhythmic changes in light and dark of the fire seemed to be conveying secret messages through flashing frequencies.
The alchemical furnace fire transmits the alchemist's secret language, and only scholars well versed in alchemy can decipher its meaning. The creator of the furnace fire is conveying words to you. Do you want to use 100 experience points to decipher it?
Someone is watching you secretly.
As the fire flickered, the doe's attention to her increased.
Are these sisters having a conflict?
Noita muttered "I don't understand", but in fact he was using his experience to analyze what Wuhua wanted to say.
[Luhua imprisoned me! Be careful of her!]
ha?
No, it’s only been a short while and you’re already acting out this sisterly drama?
Chapter 108
The fire flickered for several minutes, then dimmed and then stopped, and the temperature returned to normal.
The doe's attention to her also decreased. It seemed that the doe discovered Wuhua's messaging and cut off Wuhua.com.
When the fire cooled down, Noita put it on again, looking completely suspicious, as if she didn't understand the sudden flicker of the fire.
The affairs of these two sisters were not something she could interfere with. She could only make a note of it and not let the doe notice anything was wrong.
The doe could even imprison her own sister, so if she was also imprisoned because of her vulnerability, she would be in tears.
Noita lay back on the bed, closed her eyes and rested, but then she felt something was wrong. Given her image, it would not do to not care at all, so she just did it for the sake of it.
She then found a pen and paper and wrote down the frequencies she remembered in the form of long and short black lines. She went to Malachite's workstation and said that she had a document that needed to be deciphered and wanted her to help her contact an alchemist.
Malachite agreed readily and immediately helped her contact the scholar.
What the Silver Peak Lair lacks the least these days are scholars and adventurers. The former are invited by the association from all over the world, the latter are mercenary groups and lone wolves who have signed long-term employment agreements with the association, and there are also adventurers who come here with their own food after hearing rumors.
An hour later, Malachite contacted an alchemist who was resting.
Malachite took Noita to the rest room and opened a long-distance communication envelope. The image of a tired young woman was projected on the envelope.
She was gurgling alchemical potion into her mouth. Although traces of grooming and washing could be seen, a few stray hairs still stubbornly stuck out.
The scholar patiently said, "I have half an hour to rest. I hope I can help you solve the problem."
Noita quickly unfolded the white paper with the code written on it.
The scholar frowned when he saw the codeword and read out the translated sentence: "My dear, I am busy with a big project. Please don't disturb me if you don't have anything else. I will bring you a gift when I am done. I wish you peace."
The scholar was devastated. Before being summoned, she thought it was a very important matter, so important that she had to put down the project at hand and come over immediately.
It turned out to be just a letter of condolence. The girl who took the letter was a rich lady who got in through connections. She was so uneducated that she couldn't even understand this old-fashioned code.
She angrily accused, "This is just a letter of condolence! I've told the association so many times not to come to me unless it's important, and here you are again! I'm not a waitress, and you didn't pay me any extra money. Even though I'm waiting for my internship certificate, you're not my mentor. Why should I do all the dirty work? If you keep doing this, I won't do it!"
The scholar angrily cut off the real-time communication and went offline.
Noita and Malachite looked at each other.
Malachite was the first to react. This was a diplomatic accident!
Noita is the messenger of the Holy Mountain, and she must not be offended at this critical juncture. If Noita is angered, no matter whether the scholar is unlucky or not, she, the exclusive customer service representative, will definitely be in big trouble.
Malachite quickly apologized to Noita: "I'm very sorry, I will contact another scholar for you..."
