While Murphy was returning to Transylvania and conversing with the Crimson Regent she trusted, the Goat Scholar Julia and the old man Finley, who had returned with Murphy, went to visit the nominal master of the Blood Vulture Clan.
That is, Lady Triss, the honorary elder of the "Dark Root" organization.
To be honest, Triss was reluctant to receive these visitors from afar, mostly because she knew her own situation well.
Back when she chose to become an elder of "Dark Root" in Vidia Abyss City, it wasn't for any pursuit of truth, beauty, or goodness. Her purpose was very clear—to use this identity to pilfer some valuable items from the Goat Men's treasury.
For example, the Dark Robe of the King of all curses and the legendary Wand of Ten Thousand Laws.
