"DoubleAgent, really? You couldn\'t think of something better?" Wyatt turned to look at Lois and asked, having read her demon merchant username on her guild application.
"You don\'t like it? I thought it would suit my role," Lois replied, a little disappointed that her master did not appreciate her attempt at being clever with her demon merchant username.
"Your role?" Wyatt asked in confusion, having no clue what she was getting at. "Master, seeing your interest in the Masters and their organization, and considering my past with them, I assumed you would have me infiltrate their ranks and act as a double agent. Hence, the username," Lois explained.
Wyatt was surprised to hear how far ahead Lois had thought for him. It hadn\'t even been an hour since she became his bloodkin daughter gem, yet she was already showing remarkable initiative. He couldn\'t help but marvel at the difference between regular-tier and bloodkin-tier daughter gems. If all his daughter gems showed such proactiveness, his dream of living a laid-back life would be achievable much sooner than he had calculated.
Not getting an immediate response from Wyatt, Lois asked tentatively, "Master, did you not plan that? Was I being presumptuous?"
"No, I did plan something along those lines. I was just surprised to hear it from you," Wyatt assured her, appreciating her initiative and encouraging her behavior. In response, Lois eagerly added, "Master, after breaking through to the Card Demigod realm, I can return to the organization, pretending to have escaped from the Southern Royal family. Considering how much they value my physique, they will take me back without asking many questions if I credit my escape to my breakthrough."
"That could work, but I have something else in mind. Like a hostage exchange. I bet they\'d be willing to pay anything to get you back. Plus, that would be even more convincing cover story," Wyatt revealed his plan without outright dismissing Lois\'s suggestion.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
"Great plan, Master. Your way is indeed more convincing. I feel like you have experience in this sort of exchange," Lois praised her master, but Wyatt doubted if her last sentence could be considered a compliment.
"Alright, I\'ve accepted your guild application. You\'re now a proud member of the EGG Guild. Hurry up and recover. Once you break through to the demigod rank, I\'ll introduce you to the rest of the gang," Wyatt said, speaking to Lois almost as if she were his close friend. Given that bloodkin daughter gems were capable of opinions and desires, unlike regular daughter gems, this was to be expected.
"Don\'t worry, Master. I\'ve already recovered spiritually and physically. I just need to restore my runes and establish my divinity. With the abundant rule power in the devil merchant code\'s spiritual city, I should be able to recover my runes in no time. Then, using the records from the Infinity Library, I\'ll establish a strong and flawless divinity and break through to the demigod realm soon," Lois informed her master confidently. She couldn\'t wait to meet the other bloodkins and her master\'s friends.
"Okay then, I will take my leave. You two recover, and contact Hive Spirit if you need anything," Wyatt said, bidding goodbye to Lois and Redfall. He exited his trophy space to join the celebration, only to find that it had already ended and everyone had gone back to work. Puzzled, he asked, "What\'s going on? Why did you end the celebration so soon?"
"I didn\'t feel right continuing the celebration when you were working," Dredre spoke up first, breaking the tense silence. After all, they were celebrating her and her creation\'s birth. No one felt comfortable continuing the festivities if she wasn\'t in the mood for it.
"Field Marshal, didn\'t. I tell you it was just a small hiccup and that I\'d be right back, asking you to cover for me?" Wyatt questioned the Field Marshal angrily, feeling she hadn\'t done a good job of covering for his absence.
"Wyatt, you were gone for almost two hours. Someone was bound to notice you were missing," the Field Marshal responded, not one to make excuses. She had tried her best to cover for him, but her deception couldn\'t fool Dredre. The Pixie saw right through their attempts, and upon learning that Wyatt was attending to some urgent issue, she ended the celebration, feeling it was inappropriate to celebrate while their friend was working hard to hold things together.
"Tsk," Corey clicked her tongue loudly, blatantly showing her disappointment in Wyatt. However, her eyes revealed that she hadn\'t expected much from him to begin with. Still unsatisfied, she remarked, "Poor Dredre, you\'re unlucky to have met such a client. If it were me-"
"If it were you, you couldn\'t even afford a pound of mud from her forest. So, shut up," Wyatt snapped back, countering Corey with brutal honesty. The mud in Dredre\'s forest was enriched with rare minerals, infused with rule power and soul energy. Each pound of it was worth more than Corey\'s entire bank balance.
"Y-you-money isn\'t everything! I would be there for Dredre, sharing in our joys and sorrows. It would be us against the myriad realms," Corey argued, using the cliché rhetoric that every incapable person uses to deceive their naive mark.
"Corey! I will not tolerate you targeting Wyatt through me anymore, even if you are my close friend," Dredre suddenly interjected, which was out of character for her. Pixies were usually pushovers, except for the Elder Pixies, the guardians of their kind. "Close friend?" Wyatt was surprised to hear this. While it was easy to befriend Pixies, being regarded as a close friend by one was not. For Corey to have earned that title from Dredre was impressive. Then again, despite her frequent clashes with him, Corey was a genuinely good person and a loyal friend. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to rally comrades who were still willing to go against the \'Seven Princes of Hell\' for her. She truly was a reincarnator.
