Chapter 145 An Ending That Isn't Really an Ending

"The Fifth Pillar has been destroyed, along with his thoughts, and has been buried in the void. Ah, brave one, tenacious one, do not let cowardice gnaw at your heart, firmly grasp the source of magic, deeply remember the lesson of Podrol's destruction, for the benefit of everyone, there is no need for doubt."

"Do not fear the devil, do not revere the spirits of heroes. Even though you are covered in armor, you must learn advanced science. I urge you to be like an electric current, to display your appearance and attire, to make as many friends as possible, not to shrink back, to relax your mind, like a leaf on a treetop, to be worshipped by God."

The two bards circled the tavern table, singing and arguing back and forth, refusing to give up.

With such a pleasant mood, Irencel put down his wine glass and went outside.

It is now common knowledge that Irencel was wronged, and the Fifth Pillar has been using his mind to control the high seats. However, there are two more secrets that no one knows.

Irenshere left the noisy tavern and walked south along the crowded side streets toward the new town.

He walked to the edge of the cloud sea, where a glamorous woman sat on a bench with a newly opened book on her lap.

"Here's what I'll do: I'll give you five gold coins so you can fly back. You can also use the extra money to buy your husband a pack of cigarettes to smoke on the way."

Irenshere spoke casually, and Lisa calmly closed her book.

"You want me to leave?"

"How could I dare? You are..."

“You told me on the Leviathan coast to suppress my power, so you knew what I was, right? But you didn’t tell the High Seats. Thank you for keeping it a secret for me.”

"How did you discover that you are the Queen of Hell?"

"On the first day of my reincarnation, the moment I opened the gates of hell, I discovered that I was different from others."

Do you want to know your real name?

"You found out?"

"Some intelligence cannot be obtained through connections or money."

"Which pillar am I?"

"The second pillar, Lilith."

"They'll come after me, won't they? If that day ever comes, whose side will you be on?"

"The side that can win."

"Does anyone else know about this?"

"That depends on whether I'm willing to keep it a secret for you, my beauty."

“Mr. Irenshere, my husband is still here.”

"Yes, I know."

“Mia is here too.”

"Ah, yes, yes."

"I think we're still missing one person."

"Elsa? White?"

"Rich".

"Oh, I almost forgot, there's also Richie."

“Mr. Erenshere, you don’t need to use riddles every time. You’re a Thousand-Faced Agent, so why is it that only Richie dares to be your friend?”

"Are you kidding me? Look at all the girlfriends I have at the bar."

"That's a playmate."

"Oh, that's so mean. Well, when did you find out?"

"When I saw the so-called stand-in for the second time, I had an idea: why does Richie always appear as an elemental being, and why have so few people seen him in person? So I secretly found the person who made the stand-in, the father of that tavern beast beauty."

"Oh right, I had forgotten that the little woman was also my friend, oh, playmate."

"So, shall I call you Irencel or Richie from now on?"

"Oh, are you planning to play a game of keeping secrets from me?"

"Hmm? The work of the intelligence team must be very important to the Thousand Faces Agent."

"Okay, I wish I had known you before Billis knew you. When there are other people around, just call me Irencel, okay?"

"Alright."

Are you leaving?

"Going home and waiting for assignments is better than staying here."

"I heard the World Tree is in some trouble. Shall we go together next time?"

"You're not my husband. Besides, you still have Mia to keep you company, don't you?"

"Her? She's a bit lacking. Wait! When are you going to take my two trump cards?"

Lisa didn't answer. She closed her book, straightened her back, and left the new town with her friends.
