Chapter 429 Taoyao was arrested on the spot
Chapter 429 Taoyao was arrested on the spot
In the pool, warm spring water flowed slowly, taking away the fatigue and bloodstains on the two men.
Violet listened quietly to what Shiloh had just said, and had a clearer understanding of the whole incident in her mind.
After some thought, she asked.
"You mean, you're here because of Tao Yao?"
Violet's tone held a hint of confirmation.
"You infiltrated the Frost Covenant expedition team in order to find her?"
Hearing Violet's direct question, Shiloh nodded slightly, without any intention of hiding anything.
Her expression was firm, and her eyes revealed a strong determination.
"I have to use every possible method I can think of and find."
Shiloh's tone turned serious.
"I will do my best to move closer to Taoyao, no matter what the cost."
She paused, then continued.
"Taoyao was forcibly taken away by Zhongmo. If I want to get her back from Zhongmo, I must make myself strong enough."
There was resentment and anger in Shiloh's voice.
"With my current level of strength alone, it is impossible for me to compete with an existence of the level of the End."
She continued to explain her thoughts.
"So I need to find every possible opportunity to improve my abilities, even if it means taking a huge risk to sneak into the Rift."
After listening to Shiloh's explanation, Violet gained a deeper understanding of her situation.
After a brief thought, Violet asked another question.
"So, the girl named Lily who sneaked into this expedition with you is also a member of the Apostolic Order like you?"
Violet's inquiry was direct.
"Are you partners in this operation?"
When Shiloh heard Violet mention the name Lily, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Her expression seemed a little surprised and confused, and she obviously didn't expect Violet to suddenly ask this question.
Shiloh originally thought that only his identity was exposed, but he didn't expect that even Lily was seen through.
Shiloh wasn't particularly surprised that Violet had discovered his identity.
After all, she was only wearing a simple mask that covered half of her face, and this level of disguise was not thorough enough.
Moreover, she had had contact with Ziluolan before, and they met when she was with Taoyao.
It is reasonable that Violet can discover his true identity.
But Lily's situation was completely different, which confused Shiloh.
According to Shiloh's understanding of the internal situation of the order, Lily is indeed one of the important members of the Apostolic Order.
But unlike Black Rose, who often needs to show up in public to perform various tasks, Lily is more focused on research work behind the scenes and rarely appears in public.
Although Lily also holds a high-ranking position in the Order, she prefers to conduct various scientific research in the laboratory rather than participate in front-line operations.
According to common sense, it should be unlikely that Violet knows Lily.
After all, Lily has always been very low-key. Apart from the core members within the cult, few people outside know of her existence.
But now Violet can accurately see Lily's true identity, which really makes Shiloh feel a little surprised and puzzled.
This keen insight gave Shiloh a higher appreciation for Violet's abilities.
Seeing the confused expression on Shiloh's face, Violet seemed to understand the doubt in her mind.
In order to clear up Shiloh's confusion, Violet took the initiative to explain.
"When I was fighting off the massive attack of the disaster beasts just now, I actually heard everything she whispered to you."
Violet's tone was calm.
"Although the battle was intense, goblins have hearing abilities far superior to those of ordinary people. This level of eavesdropping wasn't difficult for me."
She went on to explain the process of discovering Lily's identity.
"It was easy for me to infer these things from what she said at the time."
After hearing Violet's explanation, Shiloh gave a wry smile.
"Not only are fairies incredibly powerful in combat, but their hearing is also exceptional."
There was an exclamation in Shiloh's tone.
"It seems we have indeed underestimated the comprehensive capabilities of the goblins."
She shook her head. "I thought our private conversation wouldn't be noticed in that environment."
Shiloh continued.
"I didn't expect that even in such a chaotic situation, Miss Violet could still maintain such sharp perception."
There was admiration in her tone.
"This level of multitasking capability is truly beyond our human capabilities."
Violet heard Shiloh's sigh and responded calmly, "This is just the basic physiological characteristic of fairies. There's nothing particularly commendable about it."
Her attitude is very humble.
"Compared to those truly powerful first-generation fairies, my current abilities are still far from enough."
The two continued their frank conversation in the warm spring water, and the previous tense atmosphere gradually eased.
Shiloh quietly looked at Violet, whose face was calm and composed, and thought about the various situations he might face next.
After a brief silence, she asked.
"So, Miss Violet, after discovering that we, the so-called Frost Covenant members, are not actually real Frost Covenant personnel, how do you plan to deal with this situation?"
There was a tentative tone in Shiloh's voice.
As he said this, a hint of obvious vigilance appeared in Shiloh's eyes.
She began to secretly evaluate various possible responses in case Violet made a decision that was unfavorable to them.
After all, the image of the Apostolic Order has never been very good.
To the poet, it is a cult villain organization.
If Violet chooses to reveal their identities, the entire "Final Disaster" plan may be at great risk.
After hearing Shiloh's question, Violet gently reached out and scooped up some clear spring water, then slowly poured it on her arm.
Her movements were leisurely, as if she was not affected at all by the sensitive topic just now.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the various research projects of the Apostolic Order."
Violet's tone was calm.
"I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with conducting in-depth research on the Disaster Beasts."
She continued in that nonchalant tone.
"As long as you don't violate my bottom line in your next actions, we can still maintain our current cooperative relationship."
Violet glanced at Shiloh.
"As for your true identity, I can choose to turn a blind eye."
If it were in the past, when Violet met the members of the Apostolic Order, she would draw her sword without hesitation before saying anything.
At that time, she harbored strong hostility and hatred towards the Apostolic Order, believing that this organization was the source of all disasters.
However, as she experienced more things and saw a wider world, many of her concepts were quietly changing.
Although she still hated some of the actions and ideas of the Apostolic Order, she had to admit a reality.
If it weren't for the experiments and research conducted by the Apostolic Order, she might not even have had the chance to become a fairy.
There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests and goals.
As long as the Apostolic Order doesn't target her again in the future, she may not be able to let go of the past grudge.
Of course, the Black Rose in the Apostolic Order is an exception.
She hated that guy from the bottom of her heart.
The reason why she had such an idea was that compared to being entangled in the grievances and hatreds of the Apostolic Order, she herself had more important things to deal with.
Not only does Shiloh want to become stronger through various means, Violet also wants to go further on the path of the fairy.
She wanted to find the mysterious eternal fairy who had briefly appeared in the spiritual realm.
She wanted to thoroughly understand the truth behind the Eternal Spirit Realm incident and find out the real reason for Baiying's death.
What kind of key role did the awe-inspiring Eternal Fairy play in the whole incident?
These mysteries have been bothering Violet, making her eager to find answers.
Her intuition told her.
What she saw at the time might not be the truth.
After seeing Violet's relatively tolerant attitude, Shiloh secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"There are actually many different factions and ideological differences within the Apostolic Order."
Shiloh began to explain the complex situation within the Order.
"Although Lily is also a rather crazy researcher, there is still a big difference between her and radicals like Black Rose."
she continued.
"The goal of our operation this time is very clear, and there will be no direct conflict of interest with you."
After hearing Shiloh's explanation, Violet nodded slightly to show her understanding.
Just when she was about to say something, her brows suddenly frowned slightly.
Violet began to look around vigilantly, with obvious vigilance in her eyes.
Seeing Violet's sudden abnormal reaction, Xi Luo was a little confused.
"what happened?"
Violet took in her surroundings again and replied with a certain tone.
"There's no particular danger. I just feel like something is watching us from the dark."
Violet's expression grew more wary.
"And this feeling of being watched is very obvious and definitely not an illusion."
Hearing Violet's words, Shiloh's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
An unsettling possibility immediately occurred to her.
Could it be that the coat disguised as a dream disaster beast that she carried with her was discovered by Violet's keen perception?
If this is the case, the situation becomes quite complicated and dangerous.
Holding a glimmer of hope, Shiloh asked tentatively.
"Could it be your illusion?"
There was uncertainty in Shiloh's tone.
Violet shook her head resolutely.
"No! I am absolutely certain that there is no mistake."
Violet's tone became more certain. "I can feel that there is indeed something watching us in the dark, and there is more than one."
Hearing Violet's affirmative words, Shiloh felt even more confused.
What do you mean?
If the disguise of the Dream Beast was really discovered, it should only be a surveillance source.
But from what Violet said, it seemed like there was something else spying on us?
