Munch Mountain Lodge

Are you really going to help Meron?" In the room, Angelina lay on the big bed, bored, and looked at Joaquin, who was dressing up.

"It depends. If his help is really effective, it's not a big deal to help him. Don't forget what Billie's family does," said Joaquin as she wiped her face with the face powder she brought from the royal capital.

"That's true." Angelina nodded.

Billie was one of the two casters in the team that he didn't know. She came from a large noble family in Princeton, and she was the most beloved granddaughter of the current head of the family. She could get her grandfather to send someone to Kanter to discuss business with Meron, and all she needed to do was say the word.

"What about you? Aren't you going to accompany your little lover tonight?" Joaquin teased Angelina who was lying on the bed after applying the face powder.

Angelina glanced at Joaquin and ignored her.

In terms of accommodation, they had indeed discovered how poor Kanter City was. The mansion of a viscount could not even provide a room for the eight of them, and they had to share a room. Everyone was speechless.

"Your fiancé is staying alone. Go look for him. I won't tell anyone else," said Joaquin.

Because there were an odd number of men and women, each of them had a room to themselves.

Locke was a mid-rank Knecht, so he was pushed out by the remaining two knights to stay alone.

"If you say that again, I'm going to look for Daenie," said Angelina as she gritted her teeth. Daenie also stayed alone.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking." Joaquin laughed and jumped onto the bed, huddling with Angelina.

Although she looked mature, she was actually only two years older than Angelina and younger than Locke. She was at the age where she could have fun.

After playing around for a while, Angelina glanced at Joaquin's chest. She seemed to be too embarrassed to say it, but in the end, she just blurted it out.

"Say, why are those two of yours so big?" Angelina finally asked after holding it in for a long time.

"Huh? Which two? "Joaquin didn't react immediately.

When she saw Angelina blinking her big bright eyes, she suddenly understood what she meant.

"Wow, you're so dirty!" Joaquin yelled and pounced on Angelina. "Let me see which part of you is small!" She then started touching Angelina's body.

Angelina had always been slim, so she was no match for Joaquin.

It was already late at night when the two women were done fooling around.

Joaquin's voice came from the darkness after all the lights went out.

"Actually, I don't know either. I've grown so big," Joaquin said helplessly as she touched the two soft lumps on her chest.

Unlike other women, Joaquin was troubled by her growing breasts, which severely affected her spellcasting and inconvenienced her daily life.

"Then do you have any special habits or favorite foods?" Angelina asked. A good caster had always believed that there was a reason behind every abnormal event.

"Well, I like to drink milk. Does that count?" She knew why Angelina asked that question after a moment of thought.

"Greenland milk?" Asked Angelina. Greenland cows were one of the few monsters in Aomar that had been successfully domesticated.

"No, it's Mambis milk," said Joaquin. The Mobis Cow was just an ordinary cow, but the milk it produced was mellow and sweet, so it was loved by the nobles.

Its value was no less than that of a Greenland cow, which was a demonized creature.

"I'll give it a try later," murmured Angelina.

Both Glace and Suzanne had voluptuous breasts. Although Angelina had the noblest status and didn't care about the other women, she was secretly dissatisfied with a certain aspect of herself.

People tended to compare themselves, especially women.

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, the trial team was ready to set off for Monki Manor. They didn't have to worry too much if they completed the mission as soon as possible, so they could have more time to wander around.

It wasn't just the two of them. Even Joaquin and the other Aomarian natives hadn't been to many places in the empire before.

Before the team set off, Meron had also provided them with the help he'd promised.

It was a map of Monki Manor. It was much more detailed than the one they'd bought when they'd first entered Lipps, so it was worth quite a bit.

There were also two myst orbs. These naturally formed orbs didn't have much aesthetic value. They were only used by casters because of their anti-interference properties. They weren't expensive, but they were rarely seen on the market due to their limited use.

These two orbs weren't of much use to casters with strong mental power, but the two low-rank Knechts in the team could use them to resist a certain amount of mental shock.

Spirits were generally good at spells like mental shock.

Lastly, there was an introduction to Monki Manor.

This piqued Joaquin and Angelina's curiosity. Generally speaking, the places where ghosts were produced were special places that required extremely harsh environmental conditions, such as the concentration of elements and the proportion of elements.

Furthermore, Specters rarely appeared in one or two. Most of them were in groups. Monchi Manor only had one or two Specters, which was obviously a special case.

"That was ten years ago …" Meron explained.

Ten years ago, Monki Manor was a knight's territory and its lord was Monki.

Monki's strength was only considered below average in Lipps. He was only a mid-rank Knecht and was considered a noble knight with a low presence.

Although Knight Monchi was mediocre, he married a very beautiful wife. What was even more shocking was that Mrs. Monchi was also a powerful mage.

A mid-rank Lehrling's strength was enough to intimidate everyone in this rural area.

Monki once thought that he was the luckiest person in his life to marry such a beautiful wife.

It was only because he'd saved his wife by chance that he'd managed to marry her.

Just when everyone was envious of Monki's luck, a nightmare suddenly befell them.

Their only daughter had inexplicably contracted a strange disease. Even the knowledgeable mid-rank Lehrling's wife couldn't make any progress.

She was their most beloved daughter, their only treasure.

Just as their daughter was about to die, Monki and his wife suddenly announced that Monki Manor would be sealed and all the servants and maids were chased away.

Half a year later, when someone entered Monki Manor again, they found that it was already in a state of decay. There wasn't a trace of human life, and the original owner was nowhere to be found.

Some brave people wanted to go in and buy some noble items to sell, but very few of them came out. Even if they did, they'd become lunatics.

After this happened many times, no one dared to go near the manor.

Later, this strange incident was reported to the higher-ups. Count Frye of Lipps sent someone over to investigate and found that there were two spirits in the manor. Their strength was around the level of a low-rank Lehrling.

The problem could've been solved by just sending a mid-rank Lehrling or a high-rank Knecht, but somehow the news got to the royal capital and was used by Princeton Academy as one of the mission points for the summer trial.

Joaquin and the rest were the team sent to complete the mission.

After listening to Meron's story, Locke and the other knights thought that the cause of the incident was actually this complicated.

On the other hand, Joaquin, Angelina and the rest thought that Monki's wife had probably used some forbidden spell to save their daughter, which led to the emergence of the spirits.

As for Monki and his wife, no one asked them about it. They'd probably passed away a long time ago.

"Yes, your help was very useful." Joaquin nodded at Meron.

Meron lowered his chin and chuckled. "I'm relieved to be able to help all of you."

They took the map and myst orb and set off.

Joaquin had already planned to give Meron some benefits, but not now. Everything would have to wait until the mission was completed perfectly. Meron also knew this.
