Chapter 245: Chapter 158 Who is the Mole? (1)_2

Asina’s cold voice stunned Silf; she was not a fool, of course she knew what a lover was for.

Emerald eyes filled with disbelief gazed at Catherine, whose face only slightly betrayed a sad smile.

"To resurrect Jie Luo, the blood of the Second Generation Brave Warrior is essential. I could not let the Second Generation Brave Warrior die in the duel with the Prince. Three days before the duel, I gave my life’s magic, which could only be given to one person, to the Second Generation Brave Warrior..."

Silf’s body trembled slightly, and her complexion turned somewhat pale.

"We all sacrificed a lot, but to resurrect Jie Luo, no matter how painful it was, we endured..."

"But you, having just arrived in this city and not having helped at all, instead came to criticize us first, wanting to add more unnecessary trouble like Karsas," Asina let out a cold sneer.

"Since you’re so formidable, you should go deal with the Second Generation Brave Warrior. I think, given his character, he wouldn’t let a rare elf like you go, would he?"

Imagining such a scenario, Silf immediately felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Let’s stop quarreling," Catherine sighed, once again taking charge of the situation: "As long as Jie Luo can be resurrected, whatever torture I have to bear, it doesn’t matter..."

It wasn’t torture.

In fact, these days her master had not favored her, which made Catherine very upset.

Rose Vesper also nodded, "Let’s discuss the matter of the Second Generation Brave Warrior now."

"I increasingly feel the Second Generation Brave Warrior is a tremendous threat. His growth rate is simply too fast; through special means, he could even briefly reach the Martial God Realm and also seem to summon a divine presence..."

"There are simply too many secrets hidden within him. These secrets make me afraid. Once he has fully matured, can we really kill him?"

As Rose Vesper spoke, her face turned somewhat pale, and she began to fear for the future.

"Should we take action now?" Aili raised her eyebrows, the blade in her hands spinning faster: "While the Second Generation Brave Warrior has not fully matured yet, we should kill him and drain his blood."

Asina shook her head, "No... that is not a good idea. Recently, the demons’ attacks have clearly accelerated again, and the human-demon borders have suffered several rounds of heavy attacks."

"A fully grown hero is humanity’s only hope. If the hero dies at this time, the front line would likely see a major drop in morale, with no way to resist the onslaught of demons..."

"Once the demons flatten the lands where humans live, our quest to find Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments will also be greatly hindered; and not to mention Demon King Nage, there is also Dark Witch Shaye, the Four Heavenly Kings, and seventeen Abyss Demon Generals. Consider for yourself, if you encounter any of them, do you have any chance of escaping unharmed?"

"We might not care about the lives of others, but once demons overrun human territories, including ours, no one can save themselves. At that time, the chances of resurrecting Jie Luo will increase in uncertainty, and it might even lead to complete failure."

"What should we do then?" Aili spread her hands, seemingly out of options.

"No, we still have a chance, as long as we don’t make major mistakes in the future, everything can still be salvaged." Rose Vesper quickly said, excitement flickering in her eyes.

"Catherine is still the most important candidate; Qin Chu seems to like you a lot, just as you said, no matter how powerful a person is, they can’t avoid a stab from behind."

Catherine was somewhat confused; had she said that? She didn’t remember.

"Of course, we must also consider that once the hero has matured, his power and perceptive abilities will be extremely strong, making a sneak attack from behind likely to be detected in advance and possibly even making him impervious to blades and spears," said Rose Vesper.

This was quite a normal consideration; in his later stages, ordinary swords already could not harm First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo.

"Therefore, we must also prepare some other things..." Rose Vesper’s voice suddenly became grave: "Poison... I recently have been confined and unable to leave the Church Court, but I took the opportunity to browse the church’s library and discovered a miraculous poison. It’s colorless and tasteless, undetectable in food, and it doesn’t take effect immediately. Instead, it accumulates in the target’s body over time, rendering the victim’s body weak, painful, and stripping almost all defensive power, preventing any wounds from healing..."

"If Catherine and Ms. Asina use their opportunity to stay close to the hero, continuously adding this substance to the hero’s food, then our assassination of the hero will almost certainly succeed."

Silf and Aili’s eyes brightened, while Catherine’s eyes flickered slightly, a hint of murderous intent spreading across her gaze in an instant... She suddenly couldn’t control her emotions.

But, Catherine’s instantaneous reaction was taken by all present as an intent to kill the Second Generation Brave Warrior.

This was a good idea, and Catherine and Asina were also very suitable candidates for administering the poison; their sacrifices had also just earned them Qin Chu’s trust.
