I took some linen from the storeroom in Verulus and made a sturdy wrap and tied Flotra tightly around my back. Then I left a note, made a gesture with the latch and lock, and pretended to be leaving from the main entrance, and I followed the path from which Iora had come and walked out of the city.

Steam and mechanical, dwarven-style tunnels, with several dwarven mechanical balls that have been destroyed and dismembered into pieces lie along the way. From this, I can see that Iola's combat effectiveness is not too low, and I can treat her as a teammate worthy of trust.

I was very cautious along the way to avoid the extra dwarven orbs hiding in the shadows and not being activated, but considering that Aiola was still waiting at the end of the tunnel, I didn't have the time to focus on observing and studying the dwarven creations. After a long journey, it was nearly dusk when I left the tunnel and stepped into the barren mountains and mountains of Ruichi.

Seeing Florella, who was tied to my back and in a semi-conscious state, Aiola's expression was a little helpless, "Are you going to take her with you?" We're not going to travel. ”

"It's because I didn't bring her with me last time that this kind of change happened. Then again, do you know where the temple of the corrupt lady is? ”

Aiola shook her head and replied, "I don't know. ”

"Aren't you a believer in the Corrupt Lady, how could you not know the location of her temple?"

"I have received the favor of the goddess, but I have not yet received the approval of the goddess."

"It's nerve-wracking...... "After taking a cursory look around the mountains, I continued to ask her, "So how should we look for it?" Do you have to try your luck by going over the mountains and mountains without a clue? ”

"There are many forgotten abysses and caverns in Rich, and this is the safest way to do it, as stupid as it is," Aiola said, turning nonchalantly and walking deeper into the woods, "Anyway, we can make a plan tonight." ”

"Wait," I called to Iola, "what are you going to do now?" ”

"Aren't you hungry?"

Well, I do seem to be a little hungry, and I haven't eaten for a day since I escaped from prison.

……

After handling my prey by the stream, I unloaded one of my hind legs and roasted them on a blazing fire, while the other hind leg was held directly in Iola's hands.

"Do you usually eat like this?"

It felt strange to watch a woman about my age tear off the tendons and raw flesh from a deer's leg one bite at a time, and break the bones to suck the marrow out of the breach. If I hadn't cleared the blood in my flesh in advance, I would have seen a very terrifying picture now.

"I'm not used to cooked meat." Aiola replied to me briefly.

"Your parents weren't going to force you to accept this kind of cold eating when you were born, were they?"

"They died a long time ago, and I've been living alone all these years." Aiola put the deer leg down in her hand for a moment and calmly told me about her experience.

"I remember one day, I hadn't eaten for a long time, and I was extremely hungry. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I dug up some poisonous mushrooms from the shadows of the cave to satisfy my hunger, and I hallucinated. In the hallucination, the Corrupt Lady appeared, and she unearthed my potential......"

It is estimated that the poisonous mushroom that Aiola ate at that time was "Namira's rotten thing". Others who eat poisonous mushrooms either suffer from physiological disorders and organ failure, or hallucinogens are affected by hallucinogens to produce various "terrifying" hallucinations, but Aiola can use this to establish a connection with a Deedra monarch. Should she be lucky, or is the Lady of Decay already watching her in the dark?

“…… The Corrupt Lady gave me a new life, and in return I chose to faithfully believe and serve her. ”

"Well, it looks like you've been a follower of the Corrupt Lady for years, why didn't you remember to look for her temple until now?"

"I've been searching for the temple that has been lost for thousands of years, but it's hard for me to make progress on my own. And," Iola's mood became a little sluggish, and it sounded like the following was the more important reason, "Hallucinogenic mushrooms are getting worse and worse, and I'm already having a hard time continuing to learn from the goddess by eating them." ”

This means that her tolerance to poisonous mushrooms has increased, and the information that Aiola has obtained through Namira's Rotten Substance has become less and less. In order to maintain communication with the Corrupt Lady, Aiola needs to find new channels, such as reopening the Corrupt Lady's Temple.

"Where are you going to start next searching for the location of the temple?"

"The goddess had mentioned the existence of the temple to me, and she told me that I could only gain her recognition if the temple was revived, and the goddess did not tell me any more about the temple. I found you because I smelled the scent of the goddess from you, and I thought you would have a clue to this. ”

"That's a real disappointment for you. Have you ever smelled the Rotten Lady from anyone else? ”

"Yes. But unlike us, they are lower-level devotees who can only unilaterally act according to the teachings of the goddess, who has not given them any additional powers. ”

Passerby characters can not be counted on. After thinking about it carefully, I came up with a new idea, "Maybe you can ask some people who know the best?" ”

"Insider?" Aiola was puzzled, "Even those of us who believe in it don't know, so could there be anyone else who knows the Tao?" ”

"You said that the Temple of the Corrupt Lady has been lost for thousands of years, which means that it was still exposed to the public thousands of years ago. I believe that this knowledge will be passed down from generation to generation, and you can ask the older, respectable ...... who have made deals with King Didra."

"Old, respectable, ...... who made a deal with King Didra," Aiola's eyes lit up, "You mean the Raven Ghost?" ”

Belch...... I meant to say that the leader of the Oathbreakers like Mednach had seen the statue of the Corrupt Lady at the time, and that the Oath Avoider must have retained much of this knowledge. It's just that I didn't expect Aiola to think of another direction, in the eyes of normal people, the word crow ghost woman and virtue and respect are completely incompatible......

"It's okay for you to think like this, as long as the crow ghost woman is willing to tell you kindly, asking them is indeed a reliable plan."

"Great! The Crow Ghost Woman is Ruichi's old seniority, and they must know the clues related to the temple! ”

The problem that was bothering her had been solved, and Aiola was about to stand up with joy when I pressed her down again.

"Calm down, will the crow ghost woman honestly tell you what they know?"

"No problem, we are believers in the Corrupt Lady, and the Raven Ghost Lady may make some requests, but she certainly won't deliberately make things difficult for us."

Well, my initial concern was whether the crow ghost would fight us directly after we met. Since Aiola said so, I was relieved.
