Such a hateful thing had actually happened, those human traffickers must be severely punished - this is what they thought in their hearts.
Inksha also expressed her concern.
"If I can be of any help, please let me try..."
Inksa has no confidence in herself, but at the same time she wants to help Alice, a peer with a miserable life.
Meanwhile, the Archbishop was pondering another question: Elsa actually asked them for something; perhaps this was an opportunity to show off their abilities. What was their purpose in coming here? Wasn't it to establish a good relationship with Elsa Faris? Wasn't Alice a perfect opportunity to break through?

156. Charlie is speechless (3K)
Annie was writing a new order while recalling the other details that Elsa had given her.
She hesitated for a moment and wrote Aisha's name.
Elsa did not request anonymity. Anyone who saw the order would know that the person who issued the order was the hero who defeated the demon general. Just by having Elsa's name appear there, it could deter some guys with ulterior motives and attract more people to participate. This is influence.
Unfortunately, no one will come to check this new commission for a while. After all, there are only a few adventurers in the entire hall now, and most of them are just here to take a break. It is very deserted. In the past, it would be normal for many people to come over the moment a new commission is posted.
With a sigh, Vivian finished preparing the order form and left the counter to post it on the notice board.
After doing all this, she returned to the counter to continue working with Blanche.
At this time, someone from the guild walked in.
It was Ruth.
Ruth came to the guild with this thought in mind: if she wanted to confirm her thoughts, she just had to experience it for herself.
Ruth has been wavering between the two choices: to pursue her ambition and continue as an adventurer, or to stop here and spend the rest of her life with her friends in a simple but fulfilling way.
Being an adventurer has been her dream since childhood, but her friends are also the ties she cannot let go of.
In other words, what Ruth was actually afraid of was just walking alone, just like when her parents left her. On the one hand, Ruth wanted to try to follow in her parents' footsteps and see the scenery her parents had seen, but on the other hand, she was worried about becoming alone again.
Walking into the guild's door, Ruth found that the guild hall was different from the bustling scene she had imagined. The guild was now deserted with only a few people.
This was Ruth's first time at the guild since arriving in Dammas. As expected of a fortress city, the guild hall here was four or five times as big as the one in Weilin Town. The solemn overall layout and the huge, towering dome gave people a sense of shock from the heart. Ruth looked around and came to the bulletin board.
There weren't many tasks on the notice board, and most of them seemed to have been commissioned a few days ago. It seemed that due to the attack on the fortress, the guild had been quiet for the past few days.
But she moved her eyes and saw a brand new order form.
"Unlimited-term commission? Such a rare type of commission."
Ruth was slightly surprised, because the commission posted there was a very rare permanent commission. As long as the commission was still available, any adventurer could accept it at any time, with no limit on the number of times. For example, if someone wanted to buy as many herbs as possible, they would post a commission like this, with unlimited purchases and rewards, but in reality, this rarely happened.
Ruth couldn't help but take a few more glances. What surprised her even more was that the commission was to "help those in need" - Ruth was used to commissions with clear goals and rewards, so she couldn't get used to it for a while.
As she continued to read, she was stunned.
"—Aisha Faris? Sister Aisha?"
It was her.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly arose in Ruth's heart.
At this time, two people walked up from behind Ruth, stopped, took a look, and said directly: "Filia, shall we take this?"
"Well, yes."
After a simple exchange, the voices sounded familiar. Ruth looked over and found that they were two girls she had seen in the tavern before. One was a very beautiful mage with a good figure, and the other was an archer with emerald eyes and green hair and a cold temperament. She was suspected to be an elf - because that striking feature was rarely seen in the fortress, Ruth had an impression of it.
They were Vivian and Filia. After saying goodbye to Elsa, they went straight to the guild. After all, actual combat is the best teacher, and fighting monsters is an excellent way to hone oneself. Vivian originally planned to continue looking for commissions to defeat monsters to train herself, but when she saw Elsa's name, she immediately changed her mind.
Elsa issued the commission, which meant that this was what Elsa wanted to do, which meant that it could help Elsa, which meant that Elsa would be happy, which meant that her status in Elsa's heart would be improved - in just a moment, Vivian completed a brilliant logical deduction in her mind, and then decided to accept the commission.
Filia naturally didn't think it was wrong. In fact, she had similar thoughts in her heart - she also wanted to be of some help.
However, Filia's eyes also fell on Ruth. She had just heard Ruth talking to herself. From the moment she heard Elsa's name, Filia had confirmed that Ruth and Elsa must know each other.
She and Ruth locked eyes.
"Do you know Elsa?"
Ruth was slightly stunned when she heard the familiar name from a stranger. She looked at Filia, somewhat unsure of what she meant.
"I know her." Of course she did. Ruth asked, "Are you hers...?"
"Friend," Filia said, "My name is Filia Livlet."
Vivian followed up with a low voice: "Vivian Trawins..."
It was a simple and clear answer. Ruth looked at Filia and Vivian suspiciously and chose to believe it.
"My name is Ruth, Ruth Rebecca. So you're Elsa's friends. It's an honor to meet you... However, I do know Elsa, but it's just an acquaintance..."
"Do you want to accept this commission?"
"I was just about to take..."
"Want to form a team?"
"what?"
"Three people can take three orders at the same time. It would be more efficient if we team up, right?"
Because it can be accepted and submitted at one time, it saves time spent on the road - as a gold medal adventurer, Filia is very experienced in this area.
"Also, although there's a high probability that a fight won't be necessary, it would be safer to have a vanguard."
Filia said.
Ruth pursed her lips, hesitated for just a moment, and then nodded.
"Then... please take good care of me."
Then they registered as a team, and then——
"gold medal!???"
Looking at Filia's golden badge, Ruth was stunned again.
……
On the other side, Inksha was wearing a white robe with a hood covering her cheeks. With the help of Tricia, she used magic to transform herself into an ordinary girl.
This is also the Archbishop’s advice.
It was not until nightfall that the carriage arrived at the town of Weilin. The mayor, Bazel Bran, came with his daughter, Shirley Bran, to welcome them warmly. In fact, he brought Shirley with him just to make his presence felt and get to know the sage. After all, there were not many opportunities to meet the sage, so he naturally had some ideas in mind.
But Tricia looked at Charlie a few more times, and even a hint of surprise appeared in her heart.
——A vampire girl of the ancestral bloodline?
Tricia had never seen such pure bloodline. She could clearly "see" the surging aura of the ancestral blood in Charlie's body, but the strange thing was that generally speaking, a vampire with such bloodline must be extremely powerful, but Charlie did not seem to have a strong magical aura.
Tricia thought a great deal for a moment, but ultimately said nothing. She glanced back at Elsa, who showed no reaction. Then, Tricia glanced at Inksha. As expected, as a saint, Inksha was sensitive to Shirley and looked a bit startled.
At this moment, Tricia's voice echoed in Inksa's mind. This was a kind of magic that could transmit the mind's voice, a very sophisticated form of spiritual magic, but for Tricia, it was just a piece of cake—except she couldn't use it on Elsa.
"Don't be afraid. She's just a vampire. Not all vampires are evil. Besides, this town is where Elsa lives. With her strength, it's impossible for Elsa not to know about her existence. Since Elsa didn't get rid of her, she probably has no ill intentions."
Inksa finally relaxed a little.
Tricia looked at Charlie calmly for a few seconds.
Afterwards, Basel entertained everyone, and Elsa went to the church monastery to explain part of the situation to the old priest. When handing the purchased supplies to the old priest, Elsa saw the old priest showing a look of relief and sighing.
"By the way, there's a very good pastor among the people traveling with us this time. She might have a solution for Alice's hidden illness."
Aisha said, and the old priest hesitated for a moment.
"Normally, there's no way Holy Light Magic can do that... I've already had someone try it before."
"It doesn't matter. Just keep trying. There will always be hope."
Aisha didn't reveal Inksa's identity, but just smiled.
The old priest nodded and sighed.
"Alice hasn't seen you back for a long time and has fallen asleep."
"Let me go see her."
Elsa came to the nun's dormitory alone and squatted in front of Alice's bed. Looking at Alice's peaceful sleeping face, Elsa gently brushed the hair away from the corners of her mouth, tucked in the quilt, and left quietly.
She did not stay in the monastery for long, but returned to the town hall.
When I first arrived here, I saw everyone being humble to each other——
"It doesn't matter if there are not enough rooms, Archbishop, Sage, we can sleep in tents." - said the Paladins.
"No need, no need. Several of us grown men can fit in the room. There's no need to go through so much trouble." - The archbishop was very considerate of his subordinates.
"It's okay, just let Elsa and I stay in the same room, so we don't have to trouble Mr. Bran to make special arrangements." - Tricia had a blank expression on her face and was very humble, which moved the paladins so much that they became more determined.
"I think... I can also be with Lady Aisha..." Inksa said softly.
Only Basil Bran was sweating with nervousness.
After all, this is just a small town, and the town hall doesn't have so many guest rooms available - and when have these rooms ever accommodated so many important people?
Charlie, who was standing by, was very frustrated watching this scene - she had originally wanted to sleep in the same room with Elsa, but now she had no say at all.
The plan seems to have failed.
……
------------
157. Sharing a bed
In the end, Elsa took the initiative to suggest staying in the same room with Tricia - after all, Elsa had promised Tricia to help her with some new attempts.
It was already late at night. There were two velvet beds in the room, but one of them had not been touched at all.
Because it is not useful.
At this time, Tricia was slowly taking off her black dress, her hair flying, and the black fabric was silky, tight, and thin, wrapping Tricia's entire body below the neck. It must be said that Tricia had been wearing very conservative black dresses so her curves did not look obvious, but in fact Tricia had a good figure, with plump and graceful curves, and just the right ups and downs.
Elsa sat on the edge of the bed admiring Tricia's alluring curves, and thought to herself: Tricia's outfit might be just right for a pair of high heels, as her cool and abstinent temperament suits her perfectly.
Tricia had already taken off her coat, and when she bent down, she happened to catch Elsa's eye.
Tricia subtly shifted her eyes away, avoiding meeting Aisha's gaze.
Although we are both women, to be honest, I still feel embarrassed when Elsa is looking at me all the time. When I think about sleeping in the same bed with Elsa and being touched by her, even if it is between the same sex, doing such things will unconsciously become weird, right?
And... my body is so ugly...
Her eyes fell on her arm. Tricia looked at the runes on her arm, pursed her lips, and sighed in her heart.
"Elsa."
"Ok?"
"You've helped me a lot. If these things bother you, please tell me."
Tricia said seriously.
"what do you mean?"
"It's just... letting you touch my body or something," Tricia said softly, her back to Aisha. "Although we are both women, doing this kind of thing is bound to make you feel embarrassed, right? If you find it disgusting, please don't force yourself."
Regardless of whether they are of the same sex or not, overly intimate behavior is naturally unacceptable, and Tricia does not want to embarrass Elsa because of herself.
Aisha didn't answer Tricia's words, but smiled meaningfully.
"Tricia, do you care about this?"
"Of course I don't mind, but you..."
"That's fine."
Seeing that Tricia wanted to say something, Elsa didn't dwell on the topic and asked directly, "By the way, we didn't confirm the exact location of the curse last time. Do you want to continue today? Or try a different approach?"
Seeing this, Tricia didn't know what to say, as saying anything more would seem too distant and pretentious.
"No, it's too late today, and you haven't had a rest in a few days, Aisha - let's go to bed early."
