Chapter 64: Acting is an essential course for adventurers

With Maeve's fierce warning, Otto realized that her obedient demeanor just now was all an act!

"Is acting a required course for adventurers?"

Otto thought of Micah and Goren, two of whom are excellent actors.

Even Phyllis, who works as a signboard girl at the hotel, has a remarkably good acting skill.

Looking at Maeve now, at least before she reveals her true colors, it's hard for others to see any flaws.

However, this finally made Otto understand.

It turns out that the person Una was looking at through the window was Maeve.

As for Una, the rabbit doll carrying her will simply waved its hand.

"I need to talk to you about something. Come with me."

Upon hearing this, Maeve decisively refused.

"Are you kidding me?"

I'm about to devour Darian.

He invited me to take a shower together later!

Why should I waste my and Darian's entertainment time because of you, you half-elf bitch!

Upon hearing this, the black sheep shed tears of emotion.

[The black sheep, with tears in its eyes, exclaimed that this necromancer was truly a kindred spirit; look at him, and then look at yourself!]

However, Otto completely ignored Black Sheep's sentiments; he simply wanted to have a good talk with Maeve about what had happened before.

But now it seems the other party is very unwilling to cooperate.

Fortunately, Una has plenty of options.

"Should I tell your brothers that their dear sister is an old woman several years older than me, a half-elf?"

Upon hearing this, Maeve immediately flew into a rage.

"If you dare tell anyone, I'll drag you out and turn you into my undead, renting you out to those greasy men who fantasize about elves every day!"

But Una didn't care at all when she heard this.

"You talk as if you can beat me."

"First, show me how to get around the curse on me."

The two men looked as if they were about to start fighting at any moment.

Seeing this, Otto quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Ms. Maeve, we do have something very important to discuss with you."

As for your hobbies, we won't do anything about them.

Seeing that Otto had given her an out, Maeve stopped arguing with Una and simply went back to the Dragonbreaker squad's barracks with him.

As soon as she entered, Maeve threw down her staff, sat on the sofa, and kept standing on tiptoe, looking very impatient.

She brushed aside the brown hair that was covering her eyes, revealing deep black eyes, and finally became serious.

"Just tell me what's wrong, I'm very busy!"

Maeve urged the group to finish quickly, as she had a date later!

Seeing this, Phyllis spoke first.

"Ms. Maeve, is that right?"

Have you ever rented a soul with the ability to summon meteorites from a guest?

Also, why did you hide your true strength when you registered, only writing "Necromancer Apprentice"?

As a guild member, Phyllis has to find out the truth about this!

Keep in mind that Una is the only Tier 2 Grandmaster in the entire Adventurers' Guild of Oak Town!

It would be too terrifying to tell her now that a necromancer has been hiding his strength and stationed in a Log-level adventurer party.

But Maeve didn't seem to care much about it, and simply explained slowly.

"The Three-Ring Meteorite Technique?"

I did rent it out a while ago.

The practical value of this kind of soul is too low, and few people rent it, so I still have some impression of it.

As for my abilities, well, little guy, your grandpa knows that.

Before he met your grandmother, he used to hang out with me all the time.

I taught him about extraordinary professions little by little.

With Maeve's explanation, Otto and the others seemed to have obtained a lot of shocking information.

Phyllis was stunned when she heard this, and just huddled in the corner, muttering something incessantly.

As for Otto, he didn't care about the necromancer's romantic affairs; he was more concerned about the customer who bought the soul.

"How much information do you know about that guest?"

Upon hearing this, Maeve simply shook her head.

"I know almost nothing about him, except that he is a mage apprentice who knows about my business."

The opponent's aura wasn't too strong; he was probably a self-taught practitioner without a sect affiliation.

That's actually quite strange.

Only after Maeve explained did Otto and the others realize the truth.

To avoid her pretense of seducing men being exposed, Maeve was actually very careful.

Maeve never does business in Oaktown.

But it was strange that a mage apprentice without a sect affiliation had found him so precisely.

"My true information is probably only known to Una and that little girl's grandfather. Even my real file is locked in the guild."

Maeve was implying something, but Phyllis immediately refuted her words.

"Grandpa would never do such a thing!"

Why would he hunt down priests?!

Not only Phyllis, but Micah also didn't believe Maeve's guess.

"As long as the files exist, all guild members will have the opportunity to access them; it's just a matter of how high the chances are."

I believe in Victor.

Micah is an old friend who has worked alongside Victor for many years, so there is some trust between them.

But Maeve didn't seem to care much about it.

"I didn't say it was him."

I believe that guy's character is just as good as his skills in bed.

However, if you're going to investigate, please don't involve me.

I still have business to do.

As Maeve spoke, she prepared to leave this place of trouble.

She could tell that everyone seemed to have gotten into some trouble, and she didn't want to get involved.

However, as she was leaving, Maeve seemed to remember something and said something.

"I don't know much about hunting priests, but perhaps their goal is to use their souls for something?"

After Maeve finished speaking, she immediately left the barracks, leaving only the group of people with grim expressions inside to discuss their next steps.

"It looks like the trouble is getting worse."

Micah sighed helplessly.

It seems that their luck has been terrible ever since they came into contact with the mark of the primal god Grak.

Micah only wanted to honestly accumulate his strength and make a breakthrough in the Demon Realm, but now he's entangled in trouble.

However, as their companion, Micah would not abandon them.

"We need to find out the truth about this as soon as possible, at least to find out who is targeting Tessa. As for the expedition, let's put it on hold for now."

Micah couldn't bear to see his companion in danger while only thinking of himself.

Fortunately, Una relieved some of the pressure on Micah.

"The entrance to the ruins hidden in the otherworldly realm won't be available until at least the end of the year. We have a month to prepare."

Una simply reassured them that she would take Maeve to connect with her network of contacts to find clues.

As for Micah, he decided to leave first.

"I will go back to town with Phyllis to find out more from Victor and also tell Eileen about this."

As for you, you must act immediately. Blackthorn Forest might actually be safer than the barracks where adventurers and guild members are crammed together.
