On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

At the preview screening, when facing interviews with fans and the media, director Mellon cited an Easter egg from the filming process as an example.

For example, in the TV series "The Fortune Teller", the actor who played the role of "Ash Lord" stayed up all night to recreate the astrological plot of the fortune teller in the show.

Therefore, with the relevant knowledge, it is possible to better interpret how the Ash Lord comprehends the diviner's prophetic hints and thus resolves the crisis.

The subsequent "Body of Enchantment" will include two more chapters, which will be the climax of the entire series. The outside world is very much looking forward to it, and the director Mellon and the crew inside also want to bring it to a successful conclusion in one go.

However, Mellon, who is currently filming at the base, has some concerns.

"Xiao Liao, your health comes first. Don't overwork yourself."

"I had no choice, Uncle Mei." Liao Ji gave him a look that suggested he could do his best.

Director Mellon nodded in agreement. He understood perfectly. When he was young, he was just like Liao Ji, working tirelessly on filmmaking, neglecting his health, and always sporting dark circles under his eyes.

"Alright, alright, everyone, let's get this going and get to work!"

The film "The Fortune Teller" ends with a succubus princess performing a riddle-filled divination.

But what those words actually meant was that the succubus in the marriage contract was a trap, the five human bases had already turned their guns on the Ash Base, and the female fortune teller in front of them was the real princess who could guide the Ash Lord on his path forward.

With his wisdom, the Ash Lord quickly understood Nana's implication, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he waited for the fake succubus princess to arrive, imprisoned her for a few days, and then expelled her. He also strengthened the defenses within the base.

Upon seeing the succubus, who had acted as an "insider," expelled, and the Ash Base suddenly increasing its defensive strength, the leaders of the five base alliances panicked, thinking that their plan had been exposed, and immediately abandoned it.

This shows that the Ash Lord was a very powerful figure among the many base leaders at the time. Even if the five bases joined forces, they only dared to use underhanded tactics. Once their conspiracy was exposed, they had no intention of confronting the Ash Lord directly.

Of course, the plan failed. Not only did it fail to eliminate the major threat of the Ash Base, but it also made the Ash Lord wary, making it even more difficult to eliminate in the future. Someone must bear the brunt of this anger.

The leaders of the five bases naturally turned their attention to the succubus race, especially the succubus who was sent to the Ash Lord's side as an inside agent, as she must have leaked the information.

This was also something Liao Ji had considered at the time: to protect Nana, he wanted to make that fake succubus princess a scapegoat.

But little did they know, they had all underestimated the Succubus Queen.

To rise to the position of queen among a race like succubi requires far more than just a simple mind and political maneuvering.

In reality, all of this, including the marriage contract, was just a facade used by the Succubus Queen.

Even Nana's running away from home to go to the Ash Base was under the control of the Succubus Queen, or rather, she deliberately allowed Nana to act freely.

The reason for doing so is

After successfully resolving the crisis at Ash Base, Nana, as the greatest contributor, would naturally attract the attention of the Ash Lord. However, just as Nana accepted the invitation, preparing to become a member of Ash Base...

The Succubus Queen has made her move.

The forest of enchantment.

Nana rushed over using her supernatural magic, the young succubus girl's face filled with tension and anxiety.

Just last night, she received a message from her mother, saying that her mother was seriously ill and her life was in danger.

Although Nana had a bad relationship with her mother and did not agree with many of her mother's actions, there was still family affection between them. She didn't think much about it and just wanted to return to her tribe as soon as possible.

however

As soon as Nana entered her mother's room, she didn't see her mother lying unconscious on the bed as the message had said. Instead, the Succubus Queen sat on her throne, watching Nana with indifferent eyes.

At that moment, Nana realized she had been tricked.

She was filled with boundless anger. She never expected that her mother would use even familial affection as a tool. Without hesitation, Nana immediately turned and ran away.

However, the succubus queen had already arranged many hidden guards all around, and even set up a spell on the door of the room. From the moment Nana pushed open the door, a magic circle appeared under the young succubus's feet, binding Nana in place.

Nana tried to break free, but her mother's supernatural abilities were far superior to hers. The many vines that spread from the magic circle not only immobilized Nana but also absorbed her supernatural abilities, preventing her from casting spells at all.

In the end, all Nana could do was stare at the succubus queen on the throne with extremely angry eyes.

However, the succubus queen, unusually, smiled at her daughter's anger.

"Nana, you really didn't disappoint me."

"If I'm not mistaken, our operation failed because you secretly leaked the information to that Ash Lord, right? And let me guess, that Ash Lord is probably completely infatuated with you, Nana, isn't he now?"

The Succubus Queen licked her lips. She had always valued Nana highly, not only because of Nana's talent in supernatural abilities, but also because of Nana's alluring figure and appearance as a succubus, a figure and appearance that was beyond her years.

Nana's personality.

Pure-hearted, devoted, and with beautiful dreams of love, she's just like a princess in a fairy tale, always waiting for her prince charming.

Such a personality should be found in those hypocritical elves.

It is not a succubus.

However, now that such a succubus has appeared, she cannot be reused like other ordinary succubi and sent to various lords to build relationships.

A succubus like Nana is a high-level bait, only suitable for catching big fish.

obviously.

The Ash Lord is the big fish that the Succubus Queen believes in.

"Pooh!"

You're overthinking it!

"I have absolutely no connection with that guy, he has no idea who I am!"

Nana's heart sank. She had already guessed her mother's evil plan, but she still tried to struggle on the surface and use words to deceive her mother. However, it was obviously in vain.

"Hehe, is that so? It's alright. I've already sent someone to deliver the letter to that Ash Lord, informing him of your identity and what you're about to face."

What happened next?

Upon hearing this, Nana's heart sank, and she had a very bad premonition. Her mother's next words made her face even paler.

"Because you leaked the information, the five major bases turned their anger on our succubus race. In order to ensure the continuation of my race, I had no choice but to give our youngest and most beautiful princess to those human leaders."

"As for how those angry base leaders will treat Nana..."

The Succubus Queen didn't say anything more. The less such things are described, the more impatient and irrational people become.

In terms of manipulating people's hearts, the Succubus Queen was indeed far superior to the still very inexperienced Nana.

"Alright, now let's see how much weight and status you hold in that Ash Lord's heart, and whether he's willing to walk into our trap for your sake."

"You bastard! You don't deserve to be my mother, you whore!" Nana finally couldn't help but curse her mother's viciousness, and all affection for her mother was completely gone.

But it was too late. Nana felt endless regret. What surprised her even more was that her anger, and what ranked first among them, was not her own tragic fate, but what if the Ash Lord really did fall into her mother's hostage trap?

Not

wrong!

How can it be!

The current Queen Mother is using herself as a hostage to coerce the Ash Lord into directly waging war against the five major bases, so that her succubus clan can reap the benefits.

But thinking about it, it's obvious. She's only known that guy for less than half a month. How could she possibly choose to fight five against one just for her own sake? That would be practically suicide.

The Ash Base is that man's life's work, built up bit by bit. This is a gamble with no stakes. A gamble should at least have a winning edge. Even if the Ash Lord wins this gamble, what benefits will he gain?

So you definitely won't fall for it!

Ash Lord, that man isn't that stupid!

Thinking about this made Nana feel a little better.

But as if reading Nana's mind, the Succubus Queen descended from her throne, walked to her daughter, and, after lifting Nana's chin with her finger, looked at her daughter's angry and stubborn face, she softly said:

“Nana, sometimes men are much simpler than you think. As my daughter, I know your charm better than anyone else, so I believe that the Ash Lord will definitely accept you.”

"If you're willing to cooperate, I can promise you I'll secretly spare that Ash Lord's life. After all, all I want is his base. As for him, I can give him to you, but you have to promise to make him your devoted servant, forever obedient to you."

Low-level succubi serve others, but high-level succubi, especially those at the level of succubus queens, have males serve them, becoming their love servants. This is achieved by using the succubus's abilities to completely brainwash and transform the other person, turning them into a slave who only has eyes for the succubus.

"Pah! You slut! You're dreaming!" Ever since the falling out, Nana has reached the point of using foul language towards her mother.

"Nana, you are still young and don't understand yet. When you get older, you will know that love is foolish and ridiculous. Only power and strength are the unchanging truths. You are the most outstanding of my many daughters. If possible, I would like to train you to be my successor and become the next queen of the succubus clan."

"Who the hell wants you, you filthy bitch queen!"

After being repeatedly scolded by Nana, even the Succubus Queen, who was usually very patient, eventually lost her temper and her face turned cold.

Actually, changing Nana and destroying her own daughter's will is very simple: just find an opportunity to turn her from a virgin succubus into a hundred-person succubus. At that time, Nana's ridiculous purity will naturally disappear, and the succubus's primal instincts will make Nana become just like her.

But as mentioned before, Nana is high-level bait, so she can't do that. She also has to protect Nana's purity, at least until she gets news of the Ash Lord.

So

what will you do?

ash?

After gazing out the window at the location of the Ash Base, the Succubus Queen ignored her daughter who was still cursing her. She imprisoned Nana in the room and then quietly waited for Ash's reply.

As for the ashes

The scene shifts.

The perspective returns to Ash Base.

In the leader's room, the nun, maid, dragon girl, and many high-ranking members of the Ash Base are now gathered together, engaged in a heated discussion.

The content of the meeting was the letter from the Succubus Queen.

Of course, it wasn't that direct. Nana's identity was concealed, only vaguely revealed that the informant had been captured and whether or not to go to rescue him.

Basically, more than 80% of the senior executives gave negative advice to the person in the gray robe who sat at the head of the meeting.

There are many reasons, such as insufficient troops, the fact that it is currently the time for Ash Base to develop, and the fact that it is just an informant, which is not worth such a big fuss.

The remaining 20% ​​did not agree, but simply remained silent. They were considered the smarter group, because they vaguely sensed what Lord Ash meant.

after all

There's only one explanation for calling them to a meeting to discuss something that anyone who's not an idiot would know how to do.

Ash Lord

I'm going to be that fool.

Liao Ji, who was acting at this point, had to admit that the script in Lena's "The Enchanting Body" was very accurate. Not to mention putting it in reality, even looking back on his own life outside the game, he felt like a fool.

After seeing the Succubus Queen's letter, four familiar yet unfamiliar options appear.

You have triggered a special event.
