Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

He has to thank me!

"One hundred and fifty gold coins..." Isabella glanced at the number on the pay slip again, automatically ignoring the decimals. "Well, this way, even if Lor doesn't come back for a whole month, it should be enough."

Joyce was stunned when he heard this.

One hundred and fifty gold coins? A month? Still barely enough?

I can't even make that much money in half a year! Besides, Luo Er is still a newcomer in the workplace. How can he afford to support such a young lady? Could it be that besides receiving a salary from the church, he has other side jobs?

Come to think of it, that guy seems to have a good relationship with Fan En, who often comes to the church to sell talismans... Could he be secretly doing some business reselling talismans on the black market...

It seems that Lor is in a difficult situation too.

No wonder you keep putting off getting married.

Joyce suddenly felt much more balanced.

All gifts from fate come with a price tag... Although Lor's luck has been good recently, having been chosen by "Liu Guang" and appreciated by the great "Guardian of the Church", and having such a beautiful fiancée at home...

But he must be very tired every day.

And, from what I heard from Vivian and Ms. Helen, he was tired not only during the day but also at night.

"It seems that I need to be more friendly to Lor in the future... Men understand men's pain best." Joyce sighed in his heart.

At this moment, Isabella's eyes suddenly caught sight of a document on the desk.

"Huh? This is..." she asked curiously.

"Oh, this. It's nothing, just a police report."

Joyce didn't shy away from it. After all, Isabella was Lor's family member, so she was considered one of them. Moreover, this case was indeed a bit outrageous and was 100% a misunderstanding.

"Someone claimed to have seen a giant dragon outside of Gordon City in the middle of the night... Isn't that ridiculous? Alas, we've received similar reports before. Back then, I was a newcomer, and I spent several days investigating, which was thankless. In the end, we found out it was all just a drunk guy bragging... I imagine this time will be similar."

"Yes, yes." Isabella held Meimei's hand tightly, sweating profusely. "Dragons are just legends. How could they really exist?"

"That's right." Joyce sighed. "But since someone has reported the case, we have to send someone to investigate... Well, it's a good opportunity to give Vivian something to do so she doesn't have to be busy monitoring my attendance all day long..."

"Since you still have things to do, Meimei and I will take our leave first..."

Isabella quickly glanced at the documents on the table, confirmed the name of the person who reported the case, and then pulled Meimei and retreated towards the door little by little.

She thought, Oh no, oh no!

Meimei and I were already very careful, but we were still seen... We have to deal with this matter properly, otherwise, when Lor comes back, he will definitely nag us!

55. Excellent Opportunity

The person who witnessed the dragon was a girl named "Bella" who lived in a village near Gordon City.

That night, Bella sneaked out of her house alone in the middle of the night in order to go to the woods outside the village to meet her boyfriend whom she was in love with... But when she was halfway up in the air, she saw a huge white creature passing through the night sky, and it looked exactly like the legendary dragon!

The girl fainted on the spot and was not discovered until the next day by passers-by.

This incident frightened Bella so much that she locked herself in the room and refused to come out... Naturally, her family and boyfriend did not believe in the "sighting of a dragon" and thought she was possessed by evil spirits, so they asked the village guards to report the case to the church.

...All of this was written in the police report on Joyce's desk.

Although Isabella only took a quick glance, she got a general idea.

"Well, this matter is actually quite easy to solve..."

After collecting the money from the finance office, Isabella took Meimei's hand and left the church. As they walked, she pondered, "All I have to do is find that girl named Bella and use hypnosis to rewrite her memory... But the problem is, this matter has already been reported to the church..."

"Acting Captain" Joyce seems to have handed the matter over to Vivian to investigate.

Exorcists usually report to the church and receive their missions in the morning, and it's already afternoon...which means that Vivian must have already started her investigation.

Although this female colleague of Lor's is neither as smart nor as pretty as me, and her ability is also very weak...but Lor also said that Vivian is a person who likes to make a fuss, and if she really finds out something, things will be troublesome!

We have to hurry up!

There's no other way. I'll just skip today's home economics class.

"Here, Meimei, this is your pocket money for this week." Isabella squatted down in front of Meimei and took out two gold coins from the ones she had just received. "Two gold coins a week, Lor told you that."

"Wow, gold coins!"

The wealthy little dragon lady was overjoyed. After checking the quality of the gold coins in the sunlight, she turned around with satisfaction and put the coins away.

The reason she turned her back was to prevent Isabella from finding out which pocket she put the gold coins into.

...little fool.

Isabella couldn't help but smile indulgently, thinking, I bought all your clothes, don't I know how many pockets they have?

"Okay, now that you have the gold coins, why don't you go home and play with Roland?" Isabella coaxed.

"Sister Isabella, are you going to class again?" Meimei reached out and grabbed Isabella's sleeve, obviously not wanting to be separated from her.

"There's no class today, and I have other things to do," Isabella replied patiently. "You just heard it, but we were seen sneaking out to play the night before last... I have to go take care of this."

"Wow... is it because someone saw Meimei transformed into a dragon and got scared?" The little girl looked as if she had done something wrong. "Then Meimei will go too! Meimei wants to say sorry to those who got scared!"

Seeing the little girl's serious expression, Isabella was slightly stunned.

She hadn't originally planned to take Meimei with her.

After all, Isabella would be able to handle this task more smoothly if she went alone. Furthermore, it was Isabella who had originally suggested that Meimei transform into a dragon and go out for some fun, so now that something had gone wrong, it was naturally her responsibility to clean up the mess.

but……

Well, Mrs. Marty said in class that when children do something wrong and express regret, they must be given the opportunity to correct their mistakes. This is conducive to the growth of their character...

"Okay, let's go together!" Isabella agreed.

……

Meanwhile, in Mrs. Marty's home economics classroom.

Lianna, a vampire family member and fourth-level extraordinary person who goes by the alias "Catherine", waited in the classroom for a long time, but until Mrs. Marty walked up to the podium and started teaching, Isabella did not show up.

"This shouldn't be...Hasn't Isabella always been passionate about these courses? Why is she absent today?" She frowned slightly and thought to herself.

Over the past few days, the more Lianna got to know "Blessed Isabella", the more she felt that she was truly an incredible existence.

As a high-ranking vampire, her mind was far too simple.

Lianna can now be sure that her behavior is definitely not fake... Especially every time she talks about her "fiancé" Lor, her shy and sweet look is definitely that of a girl in love.

And this Lor is also quite unreasonable.

It's not difficult to find out about his affairs. Just ask the local illegal supernatural beings and you can get a general idea of ​​the personnel situation of the Gordon City Church branch... According to the information they revealed, Lor is still a novice exorcist who has joined the church for less than half a year and was promoted to the second level only a month ago.

How could a person with only second-level strength and belonging to the church be chosen as a follower by the first generation of vampires?

It's unbelievable.

Lianna shook her head secretly and thought, this is probably what they call "love makes people blind."

There was another thing that puzzled her... that was, with Isabella's simple mind, it was unlikely that she had planned alone to use the Holy Light Church to get rid of Lucinda.

Her follower Lor must have played a crucial role in this.

This man might seem like a minor character at first glance, but he's definitely not a simple character... Well, it's worth investigating further...

By the way, since Isabella didn’t come, do I need to stay here and attend classes?

Just as Liana was hesitating, the voice of her master, the first-generation vampire Emmett, rang in her mind: "Don't wait, Liana. I sense that Isabella is moving towards the outside of the city... and seems to be carrying a child."

...outside the city?

Liana thought for a moment, then pretended to take notes and wrote on a piece of paper:

"Which direction did she go? I'll follow her."

"Forget it. Once we're in a less crowded place, she'll easily notice you're following her." Emmett used the shared senses to clearly see the words written by Liana. "My little sister is, after all, a high-level vampire with keen senses... It's best not to act rashly."

"I will follow your orders." Lianna wrote on the paper.

Then, a light bulb went off in her head.

Isabella took the children out of town, and her dependent Lor went on a business trip to the parish headquarters in Palmer City... In other words, their home at 15 Oak Street is now empty!

This is the perfect opportunity to sneak in and investigate!

56. A passing psychologist

P.S. First of all, regarding the girl who witnessed the dragon, when I wrote the previous chapter, I casually named her "Bella", but later I realized that the heroine's name also had these two characters, which was too repeated... So I changed her name to "Leila".

The following is the main text, meow!

------

"Is this where the witness 'Leila' was found after she collapsed?"

Red-haired Vivian leaned down slightly and carefully examined the traces on the ground... Judging from the traces of fallen weeds, someone had been lying here for several hours.

"Yes, Miss Exorcist!" The person who led her here was a teenage girl. It was she who found the victim fainted on the ground yesterday morning. "Leila looked scary at the time. Her face was pale and she was unconscious. I thought she was dead!"

As she spoke, the girl moved closer and closer, and in the end she even put her arm around Vivian and leaned close to her.

And for some reason, her face turned slightly red.

"Miss Exorcist, do you think this strange thing is a sign that there's an evil spirit haunting our village?"

The young girl pinched her throat, twisting her body back and forth, and continued in an almost coquettish tone, "If that's the case, I'm already involved. Will I become the next target of the evil spirit? I'm so scared! Miss Exorcist, you must stay by my side and protect me every step of the way!"

Vivian, who is tall and heroic, is very popular among some girls.

There is even a fan club for her in Gordon City.

But Vivian herself knew nothing about these things. She just thought that those girls were particularly enthusiastic about her as an exorcist because they admired the Holy Light.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Vivian, oblivious to the girl's subtle thoughts, reassured her earnestly, "I've checked, and the girl named Leila shows no signs of being possessed by an evil spirit. Furthermore, although she's been mentally frightened, her physical condition is fine."

"So, what exactly happened?" The girl tilted her head slightly, not letting go of Vivian. Instead, she clung to her even closer. "Leila was so frightened. She must have seen something unusual... There's no way a dragon really flew through the sky, is there?"

"It's hard to say for now." Vivian shook her head and tried to pull her arm out of the girl's arms.

Yeah, what is going on?

Leila's testimony was clear and her description of the so-called "dragon" was very specific.

She said the dragon was pure white, its scales gleaming in the moonlight, their texture like glass. Its size was hard to judge, but Leila estimated its wingspan to be at least ten meters... Furthermore, when the dragon passed overhead, she felt a distinct chill...

"chill?"

Vivian frowned slightly and looked carefully at the weeds on the ground.

She found that many leaves had withered edges, like signs of frost... It was strange, it wasn't frost season yet, it was too unnatural.

From this point of view, it is still impossible to determine whether Leila really saw the dragon.

But the unusual cold weather is indeed real.

...It seems that this is most likely not a misunderstanding, but really involves extraordinary powers!

Thinking of this, Vivian's mood cheered up.

In this case, as long as I can find out the truth of the incident and successfully solve the problem, I can accumulate merit and be promoted to the third level as soon as possible... This time, I must not lose to Lor again!

Use your brain, Vivian!

She said to herself in her heart.

Make bold assumptions, verify them carefully, and don't miss any details or possibilities... Well, just like Lor!

"The girl named Leila wasn't injured, which means the extraordinary power she encountered had no intention of harming her... She was most likely just caught up in it by chance..."

The question is, what kind of supernatural power will it be?

"It can release cold air, and perhaps even induce hallucinations... Hmm, based on the information, the only supernatural creature that fits these characteristics that I can think of is a variant of the 'hallucinogenic poisonous lizard' from the north..."

But the problem is that this extraordinary creature only lives in extremely cold places.

How did it appear near Gordon City?

"It seems necessary to meet with the witness again and reconfirm the details." Vivian thought.

Now that it has been confirmed that supernatural powers are involved, the nature of the matter is completely different.

"Come to think of it, I just happened to get a third-level talisman from Fan En a while ago. It's very suitable for this situation..."
