Erica Loka looked at the note written in secret language and was silent.

Her face looked impassive, but her heart felt like she had fallen over the wall.

There weren't many words on the note, but it only recorded one thing: a clue to a suspected demon sacrifice near the city of Tara Khan, possibly the work of an orphan of the old Loka family.

She transcribed the contents of the note into lingua franca and gave it to the guild officer.

Now she is a bartender at the "Swords and Sandals" bar, short, thin, and very stingy, but she has a great eye, especially good at appreciating antiques.

And her secret identity is the intelligence officer of the local thieves' guild - the pigeon responsible for translating ciphertext information and sending and receiving credits.

The fat man who was drinking in front of her now was the one in charge of connecting with her, receiving and checking information.

For an intelligence officer like her, there are three thieves guilds, and if there is a big incident, all three of them will receive the message, and the three-point message comparison can avoid errors and omissions to the greatest extent.

Now this news is the kind of thing that needs to be compared by three people.

The fat man took the two notes, carefully put them away, paid for the drink, and then turned and left.

So Erica sat behind the counter in a daze as usual.

At this time, there were no customers in the tavern, and it was very idle.

Of course, that's the bartender's business.

Of course, Erica can't really be the bartender, she just uses the "fake face of the fraudster" to change into the bartender's appearance and replace the person's identity. As for the real bartender himself, he has long since turned into a pool of blood and washed down the sewer.

After signing a contract with the demon, she not only gained youth and vitality, but also gained the ability to offer sacrifices to please the demons, although it is not easy to please the demons, but sacrifice is a good way to dispose of some large non-combustible garbage. For example, it is easy to catch a healthy living person, but it is not easy to dig out the knowledge he needs from his head, and it is easy to turn him into a corpse, but it is not easy to dispose of the corpse silently.

But with the method of sacrificing to demons, none of this is a problem.

Inside the magic circle she had improvised drawing, the real bartender struggled for almost half an hour. It's not that she wants to waste her time so much, it's just that if she doesn't handle the sacrifice decently, the demon won't be happy.

First of all, the useless skin has to be removed, which is a very tedious job. Even with the help of magic, it's a bit of a hindrance. The subsequent removal of the entrails was also not easy—for she had to keep the sacrifice alive and awake, especially in pain.

This is really not easy, in the past, when she fell into the hands of a witch in the run, and when she became a tool for drug testing, she often passed out in pain, unable to give an accurate evaluation of the efficacy of the drug.

In contrast, another tool for applying the medicine at that time, a strong barbarian, was much better than her. The big bear-like man was able to hold out to the end every time, giving the witch the most accurate feedback on the effects of the medicine.

That guy is really strong......

Erica tossed aside the meaningless memories and secretly lamented that she was still old after all.

Although her body has regained her youth, her mental aging is unimaginable. In the past two years, she often reminisced about the past, the happy times of her youth, and the occasional joy in those miserable years...... These memories made her miserable, but they also made her stronger.

She will be able to complete her revenge, and no one can stop her!

(I don't know who leaked my whereabouts, but I'm not near the city of Tarakhan.) Even if the Earl has great ability, he can't reach out of his territory!)

The king's control over the lord is very powerful, and the relationship between the several big lords around the earl is not good. The Earl may have a few spies in these realms, but there is never enough to besiege Erica.

Let alone...... Even if there are enough men, will they be able to surround and kill her?

She has the "mask of a fraudster", she is able to change her appearance freely, and the more people there are, the safer she is.

Like now, she lives in a city of almost 30,000 people, the capital of the domain of the Viscount of Müller, who is not very old, and who had just received the seal and scepter from her father the previous year. His father had fought with Count Tara Khan all his life, and although he often suffered losses, he never suffered a big loss after all, and he was a capable person.

As a nobleman loyal to the king, Viscount Muller and Count Tara Khan had an innate hostile relationship, and living in his city made Erica feel at ease.

However, now Erica can't settle down.

After returning to the residence, she thought about it for a long time, but she could not calm the doubts in her heart.

I am obviously here, but who is the "orphan of the old Loka family" found near the city of Tarakhan?

Even if a person can admit his mistake, he should not admit his mistake when it comes to sacrificing to the devil.

Could it be that there were other people in the family who fled and made a pact with some demon like her, and it happened to be near the city of Tara Khan at this time that they wanted revenge?

"This can't be!" Erika laughed, and said to herself, "There is no such coincidence in the world!

But...... She didn't understand it.

Why did Count Tara Khan, that cunning fellow, set such a trap, and what was the point of such a trap?

Logically, this trap was designed for her, of course. But how could Count Tara Khan know her exact information? Moreover, if he even knew about Erica's sacrifice to the demons, then most likely he already knew her whereabouts, and sent someone to assassinate her, wouldn't it be more practical?

Erica thought about it for a long time, and finally made up her mind.

She's going back to the vicinity of Tara Khan City to see what is going on!

With the "mask of a fraudster", as long as you are careful, no one in the world will be able to identify her. She could posefully disguise herself as a single-minded adventurer, do some small business with low profits, pretend to be a little down, and make a living in Tara Khan City.

She thought for a moment and decided on a target for this impersonation.

It was a lonely bard, who could play a little trick, and usually earn some bounties by singing meat jokes and changing little magic tricks, and live a life of wine and drunkenness.

No one would be surprised that someone like this said he was going on a trip.

Yes, no one will be surprised.

Two days later, an unknown bard bid farewell to the city where he had lived for nearly two years and set out for the northernmost part of the kingdom.

He said he wanted to go to the northernmost part of the Tara Khan to see how the pioneers fought against the savage jungle barbarians, won wealth and land, and wrote a few poems based on it.

Of course, it would be better to be able to pick up some cheap and make a small fortune by the way.

The drinking friends wished him a fortune, and some wished him to hook up with a barbarian woman, and finally die on the woman's belly.

But no one knew that under the round face that always smiled obscenely, it was no longer the original bard, but an avenger full of hatred and doubts.
