Chapter 271 – Let’s investigate this quickly to put an end to this problem.

When Larissa woke up the next day, Emily was standing beside her bed as she sipped some tea. As soon as she realized that Larissa had woken up, she walked over to the bed and sat up.

After that, she placed her hand on Larissa's head and stroked her.

"How are you feeling? You worked hard yesterday, you can sleep some more if you want."

"No need, I'm feeling fine." Larissa sat up and leaned her back against the headboard of the bed.

Then she looked at Emily.

"I killed him," Larissa said in a sad, trembling voice. Then tears welled up in her eyes.

"I killed the person who killed Lincy."

"..." Hearing that, Emily was speechless, but soon after, she approached Larissa and gave her a tight hug.

"Was that the man who attacked you?"

"Yes, he killed Lincy, and now I've taken my revenge."

"Do you feel better for having taken revenge?"

"Being honest, I don't feel better. He may have had the same fate, but that won't bring Lincy back."

"I understand."

"I wish I could bring her back, is there a way?'

"Unfortunately they have not yet invented a magic to bring the dead back to life."

"..."

Emily continued hugging Larissa for a few minutes.

When Larissa had finally calmed down, she went to the bathroom and washed her face. Then she went downstairs together with Emily and went to the table to have coffee together with everyone else.

Arriving there, Larissa found Syl, Emily's father, and Emily's mother.

"Where is everyone else?"

"The guild master, his wife, Suzan, and the cook have gone to another house of the guild master. And Cibely and the others came home last night as soon as you were asleep."

"Got it." Larissa sat down at the table and had coffee with everyone. After finishing her coffee, she said goodbye and left the mansion.

Activating flight and invisibility magic she flew over the place where that little battle had taken place. Once there, everything seemed fine. The wreckage of the mansions had already begun to be removed.

'When it comes to the nobles the mayor likes to work. Speaking of which, I need to do a little research on that drug Syl's father used on her.'

Larissa remembered the conversation she had had with the guild master a while back about investigating the source of the drug that was circulating among the nobles.

Being with nothing to do and also feeling discouraged, Larissa decided to go investigate this.

So still using her invisibility flying magic, she went to the mayor's mansion and went over the wall with ease. After that, she approached one of the mansion's windows and found a small library.

'Who puts a library on the second floor?' Larissa opened the living room window and then entered the mansion.

When she did, she smelled a huge smell of mold and dust inside the room.

'It seems that no one has used this library for quite some time.'

After looking around the shelves a bit and browsing through some documents and books, Larissa left the room and found a large hallway with several doors. In addition, she also found a maid.

But since she had her magic activated, the maid walked past her and didn't see her.

'Okay, where is that fat guy? Maybe he's in his bedroom, but where?' Larissa activated her search magic and managed to detect some presences.

She headed towards the nearest presence. When she reached the room and partially opened the door, she could see a cute little girl playing together with a young maid. The two were smiling happily.

'I heard that that mayor had a daughter, but I can't believe he has such a beautiful daughter.' Larissa closed the door and then started to visit all the rooms that had someone present.

After walking around the mansion for almost 30 minutes, Larissa finally heard a nostalgic voice.

"That queen hasn't answered my letter yet? She's been ignoring me for a long time now! What kind of queen avoids her country's problems like that?" Larissa could hear the obese mayor's voice.

He sounded angry, so that made Larissa a little happy.

But Larissa's happiness disappeared as soon as she heard another nostalgic voice.

"She hasn't answered yet. I've sent many letters and even sent some riders to the capital, but we've been completely ignored."

'Norm?' Larissa felt her head throbbing.

'No, it can't be, can it? What is it? What is she doing here?' Larissa didn't despair, she was just completely confused.

"Try again. Try to get more information about that little girl, maybe then she'll pay more attention to us."

"Since the guild was destroyed I haven't seen that little girl."

"Did she die?"

"I don't think that's likely to have happened. Maybe she left the country for some reason. Or maybe she is just hiding somewhere."

"I see, so we don't even have information to give in exchange for money."

"I'm sorry, I should be more competent."

"It's not your fault, Norm. That little girl is a problem, she just keeps causing me trouble. I don't doubt that the attack on the guild and this whole crisis is her fault."

"Maybe."

"Haaa~~ Right, I think I'll get in touch with Ingutth. If I order more batches of that drug I can make enough money to keep the city under control for a few more months."

"Don't you have any money saved up that you can use?"

"Don't question me, Norm."

"I'm sorry."

"But about that, I don't have. My wife is so vain, she just spends everything on jewelry and more jewelry. I wonder why she needs so many."

"You are also very fond of paintings and suits, aren't you?"

"Yes, I like it a lot. But I should stop spending so much money like this or the city's economy will break down."

"..."

"Okay. Send a letter to Ingutth and arrange a meeting with him. Let's meet in the same city as always."

"All right, I'll do that right now."

After the conversation ended, Norm left the room revealing his appearance.

'It's her.' Larissa swallowed her saliva not believing what she was seeing.

But shaking her head and clearing her mind, she focused on the information she had just received.

'That was easier than I imagined, I arrived at a very opportune moment.' She smiled in her mind and soon after began to chase Norm.

'I already know your name, now I need to know who exactly this Ingutth guy is.'
