Game time AM09:17
Violet Empire, Marshall Territory, Mercury City
Xiwei, deputy leader of the Ice Curtain Mage Group under the Marshall family Yashuang Rui got up half an hour late as usual. She stretched her proud body lazily, and then casually hugged the human girl beside the pillow who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old with dull eyes. After a kiss, he lingered for a while before starting to change his clothes.
Ten minutes later
Sylvia wore her favorite set of sky blue deep V robes with the least fabric, and left the Ice Curtain Mage Tower located in the north of Mercury City. It is the residence of all members of the mage group. It is more elegant than the regular private mage tower. It's several times bigger, with mountains of magic crystals, well-equipped experimental sites, well-stocked libraries, and various comfortable and convenient arrays and barriers. The [Winter Prism] made of heavy gold on the top of the spire is day and night. Continuously creating water elements allows mages to meditate more efficiently. In addition, this natural magic guide crystal worth at least 800,000 gold coins is also a weapon. With sufficient magic power supply, [ "Winter Prism" can fire ice pulses infinitely at a frequency of once every three minutes when the enemy attacks. It not only has a terrifying range of up to three kilometers, but is also as powerful as a high-level magician's full blow.
But...
For Sylvia, the most satisfying place in this mage tower, which is regarded as a holy place by countless Marshallese people, is the only place where she can run wild and entertain herself. It's just an oversized bedroom, and the rest is just so-so.
Although Sylvia is only a high-level water mage, she never thought that the silly-looking tower would be of any help to her, especially when she was using it with so many people. .
She is not a simple mage, nor a simple elf~
The long aqua-blue hair was scarlet before the dyeing ointment was applied...
The pair of pale golden eyes were also scarlet after taking off the 'phantom pupils'...
The smooth, white and tender skin will slowly turn into a sickly pale color if it is not 'moisturized' regularly...
Of course, Sylvia's beautiful face is original, after all, the blood seeker There are very few characters with strange looks in the game. Natural blood seekers are basically handsome men and beautiful women, while those who are hateful or just look hateful have no chance to obtain a 'blood embrace'.
Yes, the deputy leader of the Ice Curtain Mage Group is not just an elf or a high-level mage. She is also a wandering blood seeker without family protection until she is taken under the command of Grand Duke Buffy Marshall. , she has been wandering around the Innocence Continent. With her proud appearance and equally proud strength, Sylvia has always lived a luxurious and carefree life. Apart from being unable to stay in one place for too long, she can hardly Nothing to dislike.
On the premise of allowing her to continue to be luxurious and worry-free, Buffy Marshall also ensured Sylvia's stable life. In addition, Buffy Marshall was also willing to provide her with various high-quality 'delicious foods' on a regular basis. Sylvia naturally He reciprocated the favor by joining the Ice Curtain Mage Group, and secretly served as the second slave catcher. The group's senior advisor, her main tasks are to select loyal talents from the mage group and to participate in some large-scale slave hunting plans from time to time~
To be honest, compared to the empty title of deputy leader, she wants I prefer the Slave Catching Group. They are full of little bad guys who suit Sylvia’s taste. Although Some of the members who were too perverted made her a little disgusted, but the overall atmosphere was still good~
However, because the slave hunting group had no arrangements recently, and the Archduke of Marshall rushed to Salamoon because of that plague. In this matter, Sylvia, who has no mission or reporting partner, This period of time can be said to be quite leisurely. There is nothing to do except showing up at the City Hall and the Mage Tower every day. Therefore, she has been sleeping until she wakes up naturally, going out for walks to look for high-quality food, and going to Spend your days leisurely with a regular routine of having a cup of tea at the Town Hall and going back to the Mage Tower.
Of course, the matter of 'looking for high-quality food' will usually be fruitless. After all, this is the center of the Marshall Territory. People who are qualified to live in Mercury City, even if they are just civilians, are closest to the family. Sylvia will basically not attack civilians as long as she can hold it back, and there are few mercenaries, adventurers or caravans that she likes to prey on, but...
[This The baby looks great, I want it so much! 】
Sylvia did not go straight from the mage tower to the city hall, but took a detour in the alley in the west of the city. She suddenly discovered a human teenager squatting in the corner in a daze. The latter looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, and his appearance But it was extremely delicate and cute. Even the dirty and smelly coarse cloth clothes could not hide the delicious essence of its owner. Sylvia could not walk almost the moment she saw the child.
[Judging from the way he is dressed, this child's background is probably not much better, so even if I 'eat' it, it won't have much impact~]
Xiwei Ya secretly thought, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in a charming arc. Then she walked up to the human boy and gently helped the latter's hair: "Is there anything I can do to help you, my dear?"
The young man trembled subconsciously, and then he lowered his guard the moment he looked up and saw the other person's face, and whispered with a red face: "I'm lost..."
" Lost?" The smile on Sylvia's lips grew wider. She gently hugged the boy's shoulders, her thin lips almost touching the latter's ears, and asked softly like a whisper: "Why are you lost? ?”
The boy's cheeks turned redder. He twisted his body uncomfortably, and with difficulty he moved his gaze away from Sylvia's face, and replied: "I got separated from my family. My father said that we will leave in the afternoon." Go to Kasha in the south... Kasha... Hmm..."
"Kasha City?" Sylvia gently pecked the young man's earlobe, and used her slender arms to hold the young man in her arms tightly. Even tighter: "Did you come with the caravan?"
The latter nodded vigorously: "Well, my father sells leather...our family's leather..."< br>
"Put the leather stuff away first, my dear, relax first~"
Sylvia gently interrupted the other party's stumbling narration and kissed her affectionately The boy's cheek: "Stay with your sister for a little while, and then I will take you to find your father, okay?"
"Eh~?"
"Yes, that's it, don't move, it might hurt a little, but my sister will make up for it for a day or a night~"
The next moment, two of them grew. The somewhat unnatural little tiger teeth had already broken the skin on the side of the boy's neck...
The next moment, Sylvia suddenly felt a huge shock all over her body, and then she fell to the ground softly with an incredible expression on her face. A few drops of 'blood' slid down the corners of her mouth and condensed into tiny blood particles before falling to the ground.
"To be honest, it's so low-level that it's outrageous. Even if you can successfully subdue me, it won't be more regrettable than it is now..."
A cold sigh sounded beside her, but the blood seeker could not even turn his head at this moment...
But even if he couldn't see it, Sylvia could still... It was clear that the person who said those words was not an ordinary boy. The slightly hoarse but warm and melodious voice clearly belonged to a woman, a calm, cold and beautiful woman.
She opened her mouth with difficulty: "What...are you..."
Click!
A jet-black musket was roughly thrust into her mouth, pushing back Sylvia's next words.
"Objectively speaking, the only thing you need to do now is to save your life as much as possible, instead of trying to ask for an answer that you are unlikely to get, and may even cause the other party to kill you." The delicate hand holding the gun was gentle. He patted Sylvia's cheek lightly, and then pulled out the musket that was very likely to kill him if he pulled the trigger. The next second, the dark gun butt began to grow rapidly in Sylvia's eyes!
"The truth is the most worthless thing, goodbye ~ Miss Vampire with great curiosity."
This was the last sentence Sylvia heard before she fainted. talk.
……
Ten minutes later
Mercury City City Hall
A long, graceful leg kicked open the door of Mercury City’s housekeeper, Fudge, who was one of the Archduke Marshall’s most trusted people. One, the status is even higher than the owner of that leg.
"Oh, Ms. Shuang Rui, I remember you said yesterday that you were in a good mood."
The old goblin brushed aside the letter in front of him and put down the pair of letters in his hand. The quill was a little too big for him, and he smiled and said, "Can old Fudge do something for you?"
"Of course, but first you have to get those ugly men behind to get out."
Sylvia looked back coldly at the four or five knights with awkward faces behind her, and said in a deep voice: " If you want me to do it myself, you can do it myself.”
“Don’t do that~ These knights are just doing their best to protect the frail old Fudge during working hours. After all, the Duke thinks I’m still useful, okay. Everyone, please step back first."
Fudge raised his hand and waved away the guarding knights at the door, and then smiled gently at Sylvia: "You should know the rules here, like us. You have to be careful, and you have never come to me at this time before, and those dedicated knights don’t know whether you are a ‘Xianzao’.”
“Of course I am a Xianzao. Wait.”
Sylvia shrugged, casually opened the chair in front of Fudge and sat down: "There is no doubt about it."
The white-haired and well-built old goblin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My lady, of course you do. If you feel offended just now, of course I am willing to apologize to you immediately."
"I am telling the truth, Mr. Fudge, I am a stranger."
Sylvia folded her legs elegantly and stroked the long hair on her shoulders: "Of course Sylvia Shuang Rui is not, but that has nothing to do with me. Okay, please don't show this expression and quietly say Please put down the hand behind you. You are smart...well, you should be smarter than Sylvia at least."
"This is not necessarily true."
< br>
Fudge stared coldly at 'Sylvia' in front of him, still holding the directional teleportation scroll tightly in his right hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?!"
"Maybe I should take back what I just said. That sentence, asking "who are you" and "who are you" at the beginning is really too stupid in this situation. Even if I tell you who I am and what my name is, will I be right? Will our next conversation help you trust me unconditionally?"< br>
'Sylvia' smiled sarcastically and knocked on the table lightly: "I think questions like 'What are you going to do?' and 'What is your purpose?' are much more valuable."
“Okay.”
Fudge nodded happily after thinking briefly, and asked gloomily to the 'Sylvia' in front of him: "What is your purpose? Why are you here? And, what about the real Sylvia?" Like? ”
"Don't worry, she just accidentally took a little [coagulant], and her life will not be in any danger."
The impostor smiled, and then raised a stick at Fudge...Okay. Index Finger: "I'm here to help you. I can't explain the reason. In short, your Duke Buffy Marshall has been under house arrest three days ago. Now an investigation team composed of the Violet Royal Family and other lords is rushing to Mercury City. , they want to investigate some particularly interesting things, and they still have a lot of evidence in their hands, yes, for example, the list you are subconsciously covering up now, this is what they are looking for~"
"Could it be Say..."
Fudge broke into a cold sweat. He had been wondering since last night why there had been no news from Salamoen. In front of him, this fake Sylvia broke in. Before coming here, he was preparing to write a letter to Buffy Marshall, but he didn't expect this to happen. However, Fudge didn't know whether the words of the guy in front of him were acceptable...
"I know what you want to say. "What?" 'Sylvia' choked back the other party's unspoken question in advance and smiled calmly: "Of course I can't prove that I am reliable, and I can't tell you the source of the information. All I can say is , I know very well what the Marshall family is doing, and I also know what is hidden in this mercury city. As for why I want to tell you this, haha... is this important?"
Fudge narrowed his eyes slightly: "Isn't this important?"
"Compared to the joint investigation team that will arrive here tonight, this is certainly not important."
'Xiwei Ya' played with her hair carelessly and said calmly: "I will not ask for any reward from you, nor will I ask you for any conditions. The purpose of this trip is just to tell you the matter. As for Mercury City How you plan to deal with this matter has nothing to do with me."
Fudge looked at the other party with some struggle, and tried for the last time: "Don't you..."
"I've said everything that needs to be said, and you can do whatever you want next."
'Sylvia' had already stood up, turned around and walked out: "By the way, if you plan to let those guards stop me, or take action yourself..."
She turned back to Fudge and said kindly smiled.
"Then don't worry about the investigation team~"
