Ingrid's ritual had never been set upon herself from the very start—it was placed upon "Selicia" who was acting as a substitute!
Why did Ingrid suddenly begin to drag her feet?
What exactly is the mystery behind "victory by simply stalling"?
In truth, it had nothing to do with where she herself was, or what she did…
Even if Annan led the players to defeat all of Ingrid's followers, it would be of no avail.
Those menacing "ex-boyfriend Legion" were merely substitutes thrown out to attract Annan's attention.
That was Ingrid's conspiracy—or rather, a part of the "ritual."
Starting with "Venomhand," to that ship "laden" with demon blood… Ingrid had been hinting to Annan that she had many subordinates, and special techniques targeted at the players.
This was precisely to get Annan to call the players over.
And if Annan wanted to conceal the players' existence, he had to call back the silver Legion—or rather, mainly Ofelia Danisoya.
