Well...
"..." Liz didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, Shirley added in time:
"Don't get me wrong, you should know my special physique. I am very sensitive to all evil thoughts. Although I don't know what your kindred spirits are going to do to you, I am sure that it will never be a good thing. Of course, if you still If you don’t believe it..."
"The best evidence is their current corpses." Shirley, who was leaning against the wall, pursed her lips.
"Corpse?" Liz followed Shirley's words and observed the corpse carefully, and immediately understood.
Because no fatal injuries were seen on these corpses, it meant that at least they were not killed by Shirley during the battle.
Then another possibility is about to emerge.
"They... committed suicide?"
"That's right, after being caught by me and seeing that there was no hope of escape, before I could ask anything, they used a secret method that should be your blood clan's secret method to directly erupt a blood mist from the body, and then they were all gone. vitality."
Shirley nodded and briefly recounted the experience at that time.
Liz listened quietly while her mind was running rapidly.
First of all, there was no doubt that Shirley wouldn't lie to her about something like this.
Secondly, the death-like performance of these vampires also proves that they are indeed doing shady things.
The last thing left is the reason, why do they...
The answer was already ready to come out in the girl's mind.
Awakening.
Because she awakened the bloodline from her "mother".
"Of course, although they died quickly, they were not completely without gain. Judging from their clothes and luggage, you fellow vampires should be from..."
Without the need for Shirley to finish, Liz had already noticed a large number of patterns and patterns such as feathers, dandelions, and fallen leaves. Among the nine countries, only one country frequently used these.
"Qingfeng." The girl pursed her lips.
Qingfeng belongs to the kingdom of the "Wind God" among the nine gods.
It is also the country farthest from their Flame Territory in the eastern continental plate of the world map.
Mother...is she there?
No.
Should it be said that even though they are so far apart, her "mother" still has to go all the way to pursue her as an "illegitimate child"?
Liz suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in her heart.
The girl gritted her teeth and didn't even notice her nails digging into her flesh.
It was obviously this so-called "mother" who ruined her family and caused her father so much pain, which ultimately gave Fallen the opportunity to take advantage of her and turned her father into a monster, neither human nor ghost. It was obvious that she hadn't said she wanted to seek revenge from that woman, but in the end, ,result...
Instead, the other party sent someone first?
But anyway.
"Thank you, Shirley." Liz took a deep breath and thanked the tall woman leaning against the wall from the bottom of her heart.
Shirley was stunned for a moment. She was used to quarreling with this human countess. Suddenly, she was thanked by a girl like this. Shirley was really not used to it. Her eyes were a little wandering.
"You don't need to thank me. After all, we are still colleagues. I also...well, I got a lot of funds from you. This time it is considered a complimentary service."
But Shirley soon regained her composure
"However, because of this... I want to hear what you plan to do next."
There was a silence in the room after Shirley's words.
The only sound that came from outside the cabin was the sound of waves after waves, just like the girl who had unconsciously clenched the sheets with her hands and was trapped in an inner struggle.
Seeing Liz like this, Shirley already got the answer.
She said bluntly:
"Let me guess, you should be thinking that, not long after we set off, you are going to find that human mage and ask him to teleport you back to the Flame Realm, right?"
"The reason is also very simple. After knowing that I was targeted by the vampire mother, I am not sure if there will be a second or third wave of people coming to my door besides this wave."
"And Master Hei and the others are fighting against the Fallen Abyss at a critical moment. You originally wanted to go over to support them, but now it is very likely that it will become a burden and burden. So in order not to drag Master Hei and the others down, you are ready to give up. Go to Thousand Islands."
"Am i right?"
There was silence in the room, and the girl on the bed pursed her lips. What Shirley said was no different from the first thought that popped into her mind.
snort.
After Shirley snorted unhappily, she changed her position against the wall, folded her arms and looked up at the ceiling.
"So I'm just saying, sometimes you humans become fools for no reason."
"Liz, think about it carefully. If your mother really wants to continue sending people to find you, do you think that with the huge support movement from our Yan Territory, they may not know that you have gone to Thousand Islands? Then, you Even if you return to the Flame Territory now, in the end your mother’s vampire men will still go to Thousand Islands to cause trouble for Master Hei and the others.”
Although Shirley didn't look at the girl at all, it seemed that she could predict what Liz would argue here. Shirley didn't give the girl a chance to speak, and immediately continued:
"Okay, even if those vampires relied on some special means to locate your location, they knew that you secretly teleported back to the Flame Territory from the ship, so they did not pursue you to Qiandao. At first glance, it seems that you did not implicate Master Hei and the others. ,but..."
Shirley's gaze moved from the ceiling to the girl.
She said one word at a time: "Have you ever thought about yourself?"
"Now that all the high-level combat forces in Yanyu have gone to Thousand Islands, and even I am no longer by your side, if I were your mother's vampire subordinate, I would definitely be overjoyed. After all, is there any more God-given opportunity than this? "
"And once something happens to you... Humph, I hope you don't misunderstand. To me, it doesn't matter what happens to you, but for Master Hei and Master Vivian, I even believe that they will give up Thousand Islands directly. I gave up fighting against Fallen Abyss just to come back and save you."
"So, I'm sorry, I'm not like you humans. I always like to talk in roundabout ways, and I have to consider other people's emotions. I can tell you very straightforwardly, Liz, your self-righteous sacrificial spirit is dragging everyone down."
After Shirley's blunt words, there was another period of silence in the room.
It was the girl's sigh that finally broke the silence.
"I apologize to you, Shirley. I was stupid. You are right. It doesn't make any sense for me to return to the Flame Territory now, but..." Liz was still a little sad.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand the girl's mood now. She has never been able to get around this. She was obviously there to help, but suddenly it turned out that she might be causing trouble for Vivian and the little wolf cub.
"It's nothing, Liz, I feel like you still haven't understood it clearly." Shirley interrupted the girl impatiently.
"If I were asked to choose the safest place in the world, I would answer without hesitation that it would be with Master Hei. In Master Hei's eyes, what I'm afraid of is not protecting you, but... failing to protect you. you."
After Shirley's words, Liz seemed to finally be relieved, and even felt that she had taken too much medicine.
The girl began to look at the barefoot woman by the wall with strange eyes.
"What are you doing?" Shirley looked a little uncomfortable with Liz's eyes looking up and down as if they were meeting her for the first time.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly discovered that Shirley, you really understand us humans better and better." Liz shook her head.
After hearing this, Shirley raised her chin a little proudly and puffed out her chest.
"That's natural. In order to be able to study human beings, I have read nearly a hundred books. I have seen too many third female characters like you, who are tasteless and it is a pity to throw them away. I don't know why, but I always like them. Do something stupid that makes people mad.”
"The most classic thing is that when something goes wrong, you like to take it upon yourself and don't go to the protagonist. In the end, it's not the protagonist who comes to clean up the mess. A good ending may be a near miss, but a bad ending... that is to die on your own. , and then the protagonist has another target of revenge for the blood feud. Every time I read this, I get angry. Don’t they really know that the protagonist is the safest around them? Can’t they discuss it with the protagonist?”
Liz: "..."
The girl looked at Shirley, who was gritting her teeth as a reader who had been "fed poison", and the corner of her mouth twitched a little.
She really couldn't bear to tell the truth to the monster woman across from her. Those third female characters in the stories told by Shirley were not actually blamed for their stupidity, but their fate might have been doomed from the moment they were created by the author. .
That is, they are used to be injured and sacrificed by the author when they are needed, thereby motivating the protagonist and giving the protagonist motivation to move forward so that the story can continue.
after all...
"Wait a minute! Shirley, if I am the number three female, that wouldn't be right. Where is the second female number in the middle?" Liz suddenly reacted and asked the woman by the wall.
Shirley immediately responded with a look like "Do you even need to ask?"
This didn't make the girl angry.
"Haha, are you wolf monsters always so thick-skinned?"
The familiar bickering returned.
Liz felt inexplicably relieved.
Thank you, Shirley.
Of course, these words were whispered in the girl's heart.
but...
Liz knew that even though Shirley seemed to have taught her to be sound and logical now, if one day in the future it was Shirley's turn to really face some serious trouble, Liz believed that Shirley would be , she will become a fool like she just now and bear it alone.
Not only her, but Liz believes that Vivian will be the same. People are like this. It sounds simple to others, but actually doing it to yourself is completely different.
Therefore, the girl secretly swore in her heart that at that time, she would be like Shirley now, dissuade the other party, or at least...protect him.
after all...
Back to the unfinished sentence in Liz’s mind above.
After all, no matter how much they fight with each other, they can never become the "indispensable" heroines in that story.
Liz believes that life is a story, and fate is the author. Their current causes and effects may be the arrangements of "fate".
In this case, in order to have a happy ending, and in order to prevent the "author" who no one knows exists from sacrificing them, these "females" must of course help each other!
"By the way, now that the vampires have been mentioned, I suddenly remembered that Vivian and the others asked me to get a share of blood essence before and let me teleport through the Adventurer Association. Now it seems that there is no relationship between the two. What’s the connection?”
Liz mused to Shirley.
What the girl is referring to here is that at the foot of the Yae Shrine, the little wolf cub sought help from Liz, who was also a vampire, in order to find a breakthrough from the owl.
However, in order not to worry Liz, Vivian and the others did not tell them the specific details and uses.
"Well, it's possible. Maybe someone on your mother's side confirmed your identity with that bottle of blood." Shirley nodded following the reasoning.
In fact, she has always had this confusion. How did Liz's mother know that the girl had awakened? If the other party was really in Qingfeng, it would be equivalent to crossing the entire Eastern Continent with Yanyu and sensing her daughter's state. Just by doing this If her perception is so terrifying, how strong must Liz’s mother be?
However, what Shirley got was Liz's denial.
"No, I'm pretty sure that my mother knew from the moment I awakened my bloodline, because...because..."
Liz said that this recalled the bloody illusion she saw when she first woke up, and the look that the hostess in the blood mirror looked at her at the end.
From that moment on, Liz knew that her "Mother" who she didn't know where or who she knew had cast her gaze on her and looked at her for the first time.
And this is actually the reason why Liz is worried, because she can vaguely know how powerful this bloodline is, in other words, how powerful her mother is.
However, after listening to Liz's words, Shirley on the opposite side felt a little more relaxed.
"If your mother is really that strong, then I have to change my previous speculation. It seems to explain why those blood warriors are so hostile to you."
"I understand! You mean... inheritance rights!?" Liz was a little ashamed. Obviously, as a noble, she should know these things best, but in the end, it was Shirley who had to remind her.
That's right!
This is the inheritance!
So those blood warriors were not sent by the mother, but were their own... brothers and sisters? In this way, everything makes sense. Their purpose was to eliminate a competitor, and they committed suicide because... they were afraid that this kind of cannibalism would be exposed to their mother?
"Speaking of which, I have wanted to ask from the beginning. The strength of these blood warriors should not be low, right?"
"Indeed, each one is in the fourth stage of transcendence." Shirley nodded calmly.
But Liz on the opposite side widened her eyes for a moment.
"Super...supernormal!?"
Although the Huodian City in Damir's era had a few more extraordinary ones, in the Yanyu of Maggie's era, extraordinary ones were definitely rare and absolutely strong.
wrong.
After regaining her composure, Liz looked at the barefoot woman opposite her with disbelief. She was tall and slender, and for some reason she liked to wear a ring on her leg.
"Able to suppress four extraordinary vampires...Xue, Shirley, what is your current strength..."
"Just entered the fifth level."
Seeing Liz looking at her with horrified eyes as if she were looking at a god, Shirley didn't feel proud of her leap in strength. This didn't mean she was being modest, but...
This is...falling into the abyss.
The power from the abyss.
It allows her to easily reach unimaginable heights. After all, only this kind of power can lead people to fall into the abyss.
Therefore, Shirley always warned herself that this power did not belong to her, and she always hated and hated this power, but this did not prevent Shirley from using this power as a tool.
Use the enemy's power to defeat the enemy.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave. I just took out these corpses from the Fallen Abyss space. Just such a moment of exposure attracted the attention of the human archmage and your maid."
"Humph, your perception is quite powerful."
"I'll ask you to deal with them later." Shirley waved to the girl.
Watching Shirley disappear into the room.
And not long after, as expected, Damir and Alina came to knock on the door one after another. It is worth mentioning that there was a sailor in the middle who went to the wrong room.
All of this made Liz feel a little more deeply.
That is...she is no longer alone.
Through Vivian, she had unknowingly surrounded herself with a large circle of extremely reliable friends. Through Vivian, these forces that might have been scattered were gathered together.
Through Vivian, they are no longer the "unable to do anything" Yanyu they once were.
Looking out the window at the ships galloping through the wind and waves.
Liz raised the corners of her mouth.
She couldn't wait to show the little girl in Thousand Islands and the stinky little wolf cub next to her...
one...
The Flame Territory that "can do anything"!
