Flame domain.
Fire Code City.
"Huh~" The long-haired aristocratic lady breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out on the chair, and finally moved from the pile of documents to the table that was almost as high as a hill, and stood up from her desk.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Earl."
"However, you have been staying in the study for more than ten hours continuously from morning to now. For the sake of your health, Lord Earl, I still recommend that you go to rest as soon as possible."
A maid with silver-white hair stood next to the desk. While talking, she handed over the coffee that had been prepared in her hand.
"Oh... Alina, just call me Liz when no one is around." The blonde girl took the maid's coffee with a look of helplessness on her face.
But the maid shook her head.
"No servant would call his master by his first name."
"Okay, okay, then, you can still call me Miss as you did before. Is that okay? Your Majesty, the Earl, it feels too strange." The blond girl took a step back.
Unfortunately, the maid still shook her head and said: "You have now taken over the Sisir family and become the youngest of the new generation in Huodian City and the first countess in history. The title of eldest lady is outdated."
"I don't care! Now Vivian has taken her little wolf to Thousand Islands. As a result, the only friend around me is you. Alina, if you call me like that again, are you really Can you bear it?"
"Okay, okay, miss." Under the tough attitude of the blonde girl and the emotion card, the maid finally relented.
However, Alina couldn't help but correct her again:
"Miss, you seem to have forgotten Ms. Shirley at Kanzaki Lake. She is also one of your friends, miss. If miss, you really feel lonely, do you need me to invite..."
Before the maid finished speaking, the blonde girl seemed to be stimulated, her whole body became excited, and she almost couldn't even hold the coffee in her hand.
"Her? Friend? Alina, do you have any serious misunderstanding? How do you know that she and I are friends? Love... well, we are almost enemies!"
"No, don't mention that woman to me. I get a headache when I think about her now. It's like a bottomless pit all day long. She keeps asking me for this fund and that fund! All kinds of bills in her name are sent to the Earl's Castle every day. Send it!"
Liesl gritted her teeth. The Thistle family was indeed a powerful family, but now the death of the earl had caused serious divisions within the family. Although Liesl had nominally inherited her father's position, she did not have the real power that she could get. How much, let alone a family asset.
This was not much money to begin with, and it was not even enough for Liz to reorganize her family. She wished she could break a copper coin in half and use it. As a result, she had to divide a large amount of money every day to give to Shirley. Can Si not feel heartache and physical pain?
"As a monster, Shirley-sama has no choice but to spend a lot of money to move around in human society. Moreover, Shirley-sama is also performing the tasks given to her by Master Bai. I have carefully read every bill. Basically, they are all required for the mission, and there is no point in saying that I deliberately asked the young lady for money."
The maid comforted and Liz snorted.
"Hmph, of course I know this, otherwise why would I still have to squeeze it out through my teeth and call her when I am short of money every time?"
Before Vivian and the little wolf cub bring back the Chain of the Water God from Thousand Islands, the Vulcan's transformation into the Abyss will continue to affect the entire Flame Territory, leading to more and more people infected by the Abyss, and even people similar to Human beings like Earl Thistle were mentally corrupted and became slaves of the abyss.
Before Liao Zixuan left Yanyu, the task he gave to Shirley was to secretly collect information on these "corruptors".
"Miss, this is today's newspaper. Damir, Archbishop of the Vulcan Sect, has used magic in many second- and third-tier towns in the Flame Territory this week to discover signs that a new Fallen Abyss is coming. Now everyone The knights were all shocked, and the knight commander, Mr. Harvey, had already personally led the group to set off."
"Really? I didn't expect it to come so soon..." Liz frowned slightly, and she could see worry about the future from the girl's eyebrows.
Everyone thought that the disaster that happened in Huodian City was over, but only those who followed Vivian knew that the battle in Huodian City was just the beginning. What Yanyu was about to face next was , is a more severe challenge.
to this end...
"How is the layout of the Novice Village going?" Liz asked the maid.
Naturally, she learned this strange new term from Liao Zixuan.
Shirley has a task given by Liao Zixuan, and Countess Liz, who has a greater position and power, will certainly not be idle.
"All our resources have been used for construction. According to the instructions of the eldest lady, with Chiyan Town as the hub, most of all the rebuilt lower-level villages have been planned near the Spark Forest. It will take less than ten minutes. Able to reach the outskirts of the forest.”
"As for the configuration of each village, we strictly abide by the configuration required by the eldest lady. There must be a weapon shop, an armor shop, a prop shop, a blacksmith shop... We recruit professionals from all over Huodian City and distribute them to Within the village, we strive to have at least three professional mentors in each village.”
"only..."
There was a slight pause in the maid's report.
"Based on the feedback, many people don't understand why the eldest lady built so many villages with such fanfare. Now many villages have been built, but almost all of them are empty, because we don't have that many at all. population to live in.”
"In addition, even for the sake of the future, several members of the Thistle family agree that the eldest lady's configuration of each village is too luxurious. In the daily life of ordinary villagers, the above-mentioned things are not used at all. Those shops, as for the professional instructors are... naive, it would be great if one out of ten ordinary villagers can learn it."
"As of now... this is indeed the case. Many store owners have sent us requests to shorten the contract time, and the professional mentors we paid to hire have also complained a lot and plan to Leave as soon as the contract period is over.”
In the eyes of many Huodian City nobles, Lisi's behavior of recruiting business space and expanding the village is just a crazy throwing away money. Although many nobles did not express it openly, they actually laughed at Lisi in their hearts. They secretly sighed that Lisi was too When you are young, everything is too idealistic.
But in reality...
"Miss, our bet is huge. If a large number of new people from foreign lands don't show up in half a month, we will..."
"I believe Bai." The four simple words that came out of the blonde girl's mouth made the maid unable to say anything else.
Because Alina knows that not only she, but also Liz now, Bai's position in their hearts is unshakable. Since Bai told them to prepare in this way, the eldest lady will definitely spare no effort.
This is why Liz works intensively for more than ten hours every day.
Fortunately, the girl has a special structure and is a vampire. Otherwise, no matter how capable she is, she would not be able to withstand such a huge workload.
"Forget about these things, what's going on with Vivian? Is there any news?"
Liz's words seemed to remind Alina, and the maid quickly said:
"The Adventurers Association just sent someone here, saying that there is a message from Vivian for you, and you need to go there in person to receive it."
"What!? Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? Get your clothes ready, let's go out!"
After giving the maid a fierce look, Liz hurriedly ran to the bedroom to find clothes for going out. When the camera turned again, Liz and the maid had already arrived at the second floor of the Fire Code City Adventurer Association.
The second floor is the VIP room. Logically speaking, even if Liz has the status of a countess, she is not qualified to come up. However, because Vivian is a platinum-level badge holder of the association, all messages enjoy special encryption and protection. They are on the second floor. After the receptionist of the association invited Liz to the room, there was a magic crystal ball inside.
When Liz put her hand on it, the crystal ball sensed the girl's breath and began to glow, playing a video stored in it in front of them.
"Vivian, and...Xiao Hei!" As the figure appeared in the image, Liz looked particularly excited and excited.
But soon after, when she saw the scene behind the little girl and the others, the lightning-thundering Sakuragi Island, Liz's originally happy mood suddenly became nervous and worried.
Fortunately, in order not to worry Liz, Vivian did not tell the eldest lady about their encounter on the Astologis and their experience of confronting the Water God on the Thousand Islands. The little girl just said Everything went well on their side, but they encountered a slight difficulty. Liz needed to provide her blood essence, which was delivered through the association's teleportation array.
Because it is a unilaterally stored image, Liz can only watch and cannot communicate. No matter how worried she is, after all, they are in different countries. Liz cannot leave such a big stall in Huodian City. He took a boat alone and ran to the Flame Territory.
Therefore, even though Vivian mentioned in the video that only a few drops of blood essence were needed to be put into a small bottle, Liz still gritted her teeth and ruthlessly performed a large bloodletting on herself. After ten drops were put in, the bottle cap was sealed.
At that time, the maid Alina had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly supported Liz to prevent the eldest lady, whose hands and feet were weak, from falling.
Every drop of blood essence of the vampires is precious. If one drop is missing, it may take several weeks to replenish it. Therefore, one can imagine how much sacrifice Liz made without saying a word.
However, if it was for Vivian, for the little wolf cub, for... the person she liked, even if her blood was drained, Liz would not blink an eye.
The dark red blood is exuding in the crystal bottle. If you look carefully, the blood seems to be alive, constantly flowing and rotating in the bottle at a subtle rate.
Taking the crystal bottle containing her blood essence and placing it in the Adventurer Association's special teleportation array, Liz paid the fee. Under the operation of the association staff, a burst of white light flashed. When she came to her senses, the person in the teleportation array was The crystal bottle has disappeared.
...
...
Thousand Islands.
Sakuragi Island.
"Toward the stars and the sea, welcome to the Adventurers Association." Familiar voices, familiar faces, and familiar lines.
If it hadn't been for the little wolf cub's reminder, Vivian would never have imagined that there would be an Adventurer Association on an almost uninhabited cursed island like Sakuragi Island.
In this regard, the staff of the association said that they are all golems, so they can easily adapt to any environment and region, and can provide convenience and help to adventurers in every corner of the world. This is also the original intention and purpose of the association. Establish a reason.
"Miss Vivian, we have received the items sent from Huodian City, please check them."
It was still a similar magic crystal ball, used to authenticate identity. When Vivian put her hand on it, the light flickered, the crystal ball shattered, and the storage array inside was activated. After a few seconds, the ball containing Liz's essence and blood was The bottle appeared in Vivian's hand.
"Okay, that's awesome, Xiao Hei!" This can be said to be the first time Vivian has experienced and enjoyed the convenience it brings since she became a platinum-level badge holder.
It took less than half a day from the time they borrowed the association to send a message to Liz, and they already got what they wanted.
The little wolf cub also sighed a little about this. Players may not feel it, but now that they have become aborigines, the Adventurers Association is indeed the most powerful neutral force in the mainland in "Godfall".
It was really wise to let Vivian complete the certification within the Adventurers Association. From this time, it can be seen that if they want to travel around the nine countries of the mainland in the future, they will definitely be unable to do without the Adventurers Association. Just a person like this Looking at the powerful communication network in the nine countries, no third party force can achieve it.
The little wolf cub also got the blood essence. He glanced at the crystal bottle. He felt distressed and moved a lot in his heart. Of course, he could tell that the amount of blood essence in it was much higher than what they had mentioned to Liz. .
You don't need to think about it to know that Liz must have been afraid that they would not be enough, so she deliberately put in a few more drops.
Let’s make it up to her after we return to Yanyu!
Let Liz suck it all at once!
Compared with other races, it is too simple for Vampires to replenish their body. It is to suck blood. The higher the purity and rarer the blood, the more it can replenish the body of Vampires.
The little wolf cub is ready. When he returns, he will face Liz who transforms into a juicer.
So before that, I have to finish my trip to Thousand Islands quickly!
After getting the essence and blood bottle, Vivian and the little wolf cub set off to the foot of the Eighth Abandoned Society again without missing a moment.
Because of the previous reason, the mysterious man from the vampire clan had already entered the shrine, but the little wolf cub was not afraid. He and Vivian opened the cap of the blood essence bottle and began to wait nervously and quietly.
Blah blah blah...
The continuous heavy rain fell over the shrine. Vivian was initially worried that the smell of Liz's essence and blood would be diluted by the rain, or what if the mysterious man was too far away.
But it turned out that the little girl was overthinking all this.
The vampire's sensitivity to the essence and blood of the same kind may be like that of a shark in the deep sea. As long as there is a little bit of it, it can smell it, let alone the amount of blood essence and blood that Liz is bleeding out.
Perhaps not even ten seconds after they opened the bottle cap, Vivian and the little wolf cub felt a powerful aura spreading from the deserted shrine mountain, and then rushed towards it at extremely fast speeds. At the foot of the mountain where they were.
"who are you!"
These were the first words of the man named Xiao who stared at them closely after meeting them.
And the second sentence is...
"Why do you have...my sister's blood in your hands!?"
