From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

"Yalti." Daphne smiled: "...long time no see."

Yarti's expression froze slightly.

I am not familiar with this person, but at least I have met him a few times.

"Daphne Krest?" Yarti frowned.

"This is the first time we've met since we last separated from your mother," Daphne simply pulled out a chair and sat down.

Two metal arms stretched out from the void beside him, picked up the teacup and teapot, and poured tea in front of Daphne. Naturally, he did not forget to bring a cup to Yarti.

Yaerdi didn't touch the tea in front of her, nor did she sit down. Instead, she stared at the girl in front of her: "What do you want to do in a place like this, the 'Hundred and Ten Representatives' of the Dwarves?"

"No need to be so vigilant. It seems that you are determined to go for that thing." Daphne put down the teacup, the tea was still steaming. "You don't have to worry. I have no intention of joining the fight for the time being."

Yaerti did not seem to relax because it was unreasonable for the other party to appear here.

Yaerti asked: "...Is that what that person meant?"

She had clearly given up on this place - yet she planted such an important chess piece here.

for what?

"If you want to know what that adult means, you might as well ask him yourself." Daphne said, "If you are interested in this, your mother will surely pave the way for you to move forward."

Yarti pursed her lips.

Daphne smiled and said, "I understand. Children of this age are all rebellious - no, it should be said that they have strong opinions of their own. I will respect your ideas. So does your mother."

Yarti remained silent.

210. Nameless Pendant

"You can see what I did here."

Daphne added, "You must have your own understanding of the reason why your mother gave up this place. I don't know if it's because of the last war of gods... Those people have interfered with this place enough. Even if your mother takes the lead, she can't get rid of all those people. This place is hopeless."

"…If she wanted to, she could have been saved."

Daphne smiled, "What happens after that? ... Pulling them forward with a rope. Does that count as saving them?"

"..."

There was another moment of silence.

Daphne says:

"Erit needs a war."

"What do you mean?"

"Whatever the outcome, it's fine. It's time for these humans to take their own steps." Daphne said: "The dwarf next door thought he had won - but this victory never belongs to anyone who played chess."

Before Yaerti could reply, she saw Daphne suddenly clapping her hands:

"Haha. If Moira knew what we were doing now, she would surely roll around on the bed with joy, right? Unfortunately, she probably still doesn't know anything about it... If that guy knew what an interesting thing she had missed, I wonder what her expression would be like?..."

Amidst such laughter, Yaerti only felt a chill.

Whatever they want to do.

It definitely wasn't for reasons like that, like for the sake of humanity.

"…What is your purpose?"

"Bang bang bang-"

There was an untimely knock on the door.

The voice stopped. Daphne put down her teacup in due time.

Seeing this, Yaerti also slightly shifted her gaze.

"Come in."

The person who poked his head in from outside the door was a little girl.

Behind him followed the man who had been waiting outside the door.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation. ... This child said she was in a hurry, and I couldn't stop her."

"Sister Daphne..." The girl raised her eyes.

"It's okay, we're almost done talking about this." Daphne sat down from the chair, stood firmly on the ground with both feet, bent down slightly, and rubbed the girl's head: "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

"A friend is missing!" the girl said, "We were staying upstairs, watching those men push us into the cave and carry us down... Suddenly a woman appeared, and we all fell asleep without knowing it... When we woke up, she appeared here... But that friend didn't seem to follow..."

The man explained: "She was one of several children upstairs. ... When we found them, they were all unconscious, but one cage was indeed empty at the time."

Yaerti was shocked and asked the girl:

"What does a woman look like?"

"I can't remember clearly... I seem to have the impression that she was very tall, and had a red and white... skirt? No..." The girl shook her head.

It was indeed her—Yalti nodded.

"What does the missing child look like?" Daphne asked.

"About the same age as us... black hair, a little gray." The girl muttered:

"There are two more ears on his head - he's an orc."

Yaerti was startled again.

Daphne and the man looked at each other.

"I already know... We will try our best to find your friend. Please don't worry. We will tell you when there is progress." Daphne rubbed the girl's head.

The girl thanked Daphne and left with some concern.

……

"Look at your expression... Yarti, you have seen her, right?"

Yarti nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I just met that woman before coming here. She is the current 37th Earl of the Blood Clan, Rossetti Caldera."

"That vampire must be here for what you want," said Daphne.

Yarti nodded. The woman left a tentative signal—and took an orc away.

Perhaps they already have a guess about the artifact's former owner.

We need to hurry up.

"The person you want is indeed with us. We took her away purely by accident because she happened to be at the scene of the incident." Daphne said, "It was your mistake, Yaerti, not to keep an eye on the wandering child. If it wasn't us, you might not be so lucky. But as a deal for protecting the child - I hope you will tell us as soon as you find the whereabouts of the vampire or the missing orc."

"As one of the dwarf leaders, you are actually in charge of finding missing orc children?"

"It's a part-time job, part-time job." Daphne smiled: "But I'll give you a reminder for now... That vampire may not be alone."

……

Lily was still surrounded by the children, rubbing her face and head. When she turned her head, she saw Daphne and Yarti walking into the room.

Lily subconsciously broke away from the arms of the children around her and ran to Yarti.

"It's her indeed." Daphne rubbed Lily's head helplessly.

"Lily, don't run around anymore. Your parents are worried about you..."

Daphne glanced at Yardi, with a hint of a smile in her voice.

Yaerdi finally breathed a sigh of relief, completely forgetting the panic she had when she ran around the entire street looking for clues...

Finally, I thought of the parade and found a clue.

"Really, I was worried to death..."

Yaerti felt a little depressed, and pinched the girl's tender face in front of her, and couldn't help but use force.

Lily felt the pain, but she just whimpered and struggled. After a while, tears oozed out of her lavender eyes.

Seeing this, Yaerti couldn't help but feel discouraged. Finally, she let go and helped wipe away the tears from the girl's eyes.

That elf must have had a hard time... Yarti thought to herself.

"Are you leaving?" Several children chased after Lily, looking reluctant to leave.

Yaerti was a little surprised. It seemed that Lily came here for a visit and unexpectedly gained a small group of fans... ?

Lily nodded. Bernie, who was in the lead, looked a little sad.

"Will we meet again in the future?"

"There's always a chance."

Lily thought about it and said goodbye to a few people.

The girls seemed to understand that they were not the same kind of people and that there was always a time to separate.

The chance of meeting again was not zero, but everyone knew it was rare. Today was likely to be the last time they met.

Leaving behind a few pairs of reluctant eyes, Lily was about to leave with Yaerti.

I turned the aisle and walked a distance. Behind me, there was another series of small footsteps.

"Lily...!" Hearing the childish call from behind, Lily rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned her head.

The strange girl walked up and stuffed something into Lily's little hand.

When it was unfolded, it turned out to be a small pendant. Two small, shiny stones were strung together with a thin string.

"Thank you for saving us before." The girl said, "...This is the amulet. For you."

Before Lily could say something else, the girl ran away.

Perhaps he was too shy... or he didn't give Lily any chance to refuse.

"This thing seems to be very important to her." Daphne next to her said, "I saw her holding it in her hand before... I don't know which important person left it to her."

Lily felt touched.

"Yes. Tell her for me, I will cherish her."
