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

Vivian pondered for a moment and reluctantly accepted Lor's statement.

After all, there is no other way to explain it.

"Well, judging from the results, that guy's strength should be at level two or level three." Lor nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, his hand hidden in his pocket quietly grasped a dark blue, spindle-shaped crystal.

This is the condensation of extraordinary power dropped by the devil after his death.

You know, only mid-level extraordinary creatures above level four can form this kind of thing after death.

23.Are you happy?

Holy Light Church, Captain Rhonina's office.

"I already understand the general course of events."

Captain Roninna frowned slightly, looking somewhat annoyed. "I never thought this incident would be so dangerous... If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have allowed Joyce to slack off. I should have insisted he come with you."

A demon with strength between the second and third levels is indeed a difficult task for two novice exorcists.

Fortunately, the final result was pretty good.

"So, what about the victims, Miss Alice and Mr. Roy?" the captain asked again.

Luo Er and Wei Wei'an looked at each other knowingly and said in unison:

"gone."

"Gone? Where did you go?"

"I don't know, and we didn't ask." Lor shrugged. "Captain, our Exorcist team's duty is to deal with supernatural creatures and illegal supernatural beings. Things like 'a noble lady running away from home' are not our business."

"That's right," Vivian agreed. "The reason I got involved in this case was because it might involve supernatural powers. Now that the devil behind the scenes has been eliminated, I think the case can be closed."

Simply put, it means allowing the young couple to elope.

Alice is indeed a young lady who is ignorant of the ways of the world, but fortunately, the man named Roy loves her enough to risk his life and make a deal with the devil.

The huge sum of 5,000 gold coins as "ransom" was enough for them to live an anonymous life in a foreign country and lead an enviable new life.

And after this incident, Roy must have learned his lesson and would not be stupid enough to deal with dangerous beings like the "devil" again.

"Ah, you guys." Captain Rhonina sighed, feeling a bit of a headache. "Earl Randall will definitely not give up... I have no choice but to go to his house in person tomorrow and explain the situation to him."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Captain." Lor said apologetically, "But... why wait until tomorrow?"

"Because by tomorrow, the couple you let go will have already left Gordon City. Beyond a certain distance, even using spells like 'Location Spell' will make it difficult to find them."

Captain Rhonina gave Lor a meaningful look as she spoke:

"Luckily, Earl Randall is a stingy person. He came to us first instead of asking for a large 'consultation fee' from the Mystic Arts Association... Otherwise, these two people would not be able to escape."

Luo suddenly shuddered.

When reporting what happened, Lor tried to be as vague as possible about how he located Alice, but it still didn't escape Captain Ronina's sharp eyes.

"Relax, Lor." Captain Rhonina's tone softened, seemingly without any accusation. "After all, human lives are at stake, so it's okay to use unconventional methods... Speaking of which, a second-level 'Location Spell' spell is quite expensive. You've spent a fortune this time. I'll reimburse you later."

Eh?

Can it still be reimbursed?

Luo was immediately delighted.

Purchasing a second-level talisman from the Mystic Association through formal channels would cost roughly five to ten gold coins. If purchased on the black market, the price would be even higher, possibly several times higher... The reimbursement the captain mentioned is probably calculated based on the price through formal channels.

Not bad either.

"As for the detailed report... Vivian, you write it quickly," Captain Rhonina continued. "Taking into account your achievements this time, you're undoubtedly qualified to submit a promotion application. Complete the report by today, and I'll still have time to submit it for you."

However, after hearing these words, Vivian's face did not show any excitement.

Instead, she bit her lips lightly, her eyes hesitant.

After a moment, she suddenly let out a long sigh, as if she had made up her mind:

"Captain, I will not submit my application for promotion this time."

……give up?

Both Lor and Captain Rhonina were stunned.

You know, once the application is approved, Vivian will be able to gain new extraordinary abilities, become a second-level extraordinary, and reach a new level of strength!

A new exorcist has the opportunity to be promoted to the second level in just three months. It can't be said to be unprecedented, but it is enough to make people jealous!

And now, she is actually going to give up on her own initiative?

"Captain, you were right. I was too impetuous," Vivian explained slowly. "After this collaboration with Lor, I've come to understand this even more profoundly... Compared to him, I'm far from mature and need more training. Being promoted to the second level too early isn't necessarily a good thing."

The foundation is not strong, and the ground shakes the mountains.

That's the truth, but...

"You don't even want the chance to get a promotion or a raise?" Lor still couldn't understand.

"The most important thing is to practice the creed of 'Holy Light' and always put salvation and protection first. That's what you taught me today, isn't it?" Vivian looked Lor in the eye seriously. "Working with you today has benefited me greatly. I look forward to continuing our cooperation next time."

Ah, this...

Dear female colleague, could you please not look at me with such respect?

This was a bit too much for me, as I was just feeling smug about being able to "get it reimbursed" and had a mid-level monster drop item hidden in my pocket!

"As captain, I respect your decision... To be honest, I'm very pleased that you have such a change of heart."

Captain Luo Nina spoke softly, clearly feeling that Vivian's promotion was a bit hasty. "...Vivian, Lor, thank you for your hard work today. If there's nothing else, you can go back and rest."

"Isn't that considered leaving early?" Lor glanced at the wall clock. "It's my turn on duty today, and the time hasn't come yet."

"It's okay, as long as Joyce is here." Captain Ronina narrowed her eyes slightly, smiling. "Oh, by the way, Vivian, you were supposed to be on duty tomorrow, right? I adjusted the schedule, so you don't have to come tomorrow."

"Eh?"

"Tonight's night shift, as well as tomorrow's day and night shifts, are all Joyce's." Captain Ronina spoke calmly, but the calmer she was, the more unsettling it felt. "He likes staying in the duty room, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, doesn't he? I'll grant him that... Forty-eight hours straight should be enough for him, right?"

hiss……

Terrible woman.

Lor couldn't help but take a deep breath in his heart.

He never expected that Captain Ronina, who appeared to be meticulous, dignified and elegant on the surface, actually had such a sinister side... At the same time, Senior Joyce's appearance gradually turned black and white in his mind.

……

According to Vivian's character of "never going home until the work is done", Lor originally thought that even if the captain asked her to go back to rest, she would insist on staying in the church and finishing the mission report.

Unexpectedly, she had no intention of staying at all.

It seems that she is really too tired today... She has consumed so much spiritual energy that she will probably fall asleep as soon as she touches the bed. It will be difficult for her to fully recover within two or three days.

Thinking of this, Lor and Vivian walked out of the church shoulder to shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, my heart skipped a beat.

Because a beautiful girl in a white dress, holding a parasol, with silver hair and red eyes, was looking at him with a burning gaze... Her eyes seemed to say, "Are you happy to be on a mission with a beautiful female colleague?"

It seems that we have been waiting for a long time.

Hello, Isabella...

You, a vampire who needs to hide from the world, actually appear in front of the church so blatantly?

Is that true?

24. Fiancée?

Compared to the ridiculously expensive black tulle dress she wore before, Isabella's outfit today seemed much simpler, closer to the daily wear of an ordinary girl.

But with her outstanding appearance and temperament, she still looks quite eye-catching.

She has long silver hair, fair skin, and even her skirt, stockings and parasol are all white. She is particularly eye-catching standing in the sun, making everything around her pale in comparison.

"Huh? This girl seems..." Looking at the dazzling Isabella, Vivian was a little dazed and seemed to be thinking about something.

Luo suddenly became nervous.

He quietly checked the cross on his body and confirmed that there was no reaction. It seemed that Isabella suppressed her spiritual power very well... Then, what was the reason for Vivian's reaction now?

Obviously, she cared very much about Isabella in front of her.

Could it be that when Isabella briefly appeared and killed the mid-level devil, Vivian hadn't completely fallen into a coma yet? Although she didn't remember it when she first woke up, now that she saw her in person, she remembered it again?

Tsk!

Before leaving, I warned that girl repeatedly not to do anything rash... But she turned out to be so good, not only did she come to my mission site to meddle, she also came straight to the door of the cathedral!

If it were really exposed, we would be in big trouble!

"This girl seems..." Vivian came back to her senses and continued in a daze, "like someone walked out of a painting, so beautiful!"

...It seems I was worrying too much.

Lor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Honey, did you finish work so early today?" Isabella came forward with a smile, her tone becoming inexplicably coquettish. "Didn't you say when you left home this morning that you wouldn't be home until late?"

"Well, well... because work ended early." Lor tried to act as natural as possible. "Why did you come to the church?"

"I can't wait to see you~ So I came here to wait for you to get off work~"

hiss--

Your artificial clamping sound has made my bones so soft... they are about to be broken!

Please taste it!

At the same time, Isabella came over at lightning speed and held Lor's arm tightly, like a clingy little elf.

"Do you know?"

Vivian was stunned for a moment, then she realized belatedly that the girl's words had revealed some incredible information...these two people lived together!

Live together!

I haven't heard that Lor is married?

"Miss, are you Lor's... fiancée?"

Vivian asked tentatively, her heart filled with wonder. People in this world were relatively conservative, and living together before marriage seemed incredibly bold to her.

"Hehe, Lor and I have indeed exchanged contracts and our destinies are connected." Isabella blinked, and at the same time, her fingers touched her lips lightly, intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was deliberately hinting at something.

The smell of tea overflows.

To be honest, what she said just now was not wrong.

But wouldn't this only deepen Vivian's misunderstanding?

Lor complained in his heart.

At first, he didn't understand what Isabella was trying to do, but now he roughly understood... This guy came here specifically to declare his sovereignty.

This time, is it another act done on a whim?

Lor isn't so sure.

But what is certain is that this vampire girl has a strong desire for dominance and possessiveness.

"My name is Isabella, nice to meet you."

The silver-haired, red-eyed vampire girl nodded to Vivian and said with a smile, "You are Miss Vivian, right? Lor often mentioned you to me, saying that you are a very capable and trustworthy colleague."

"No, on the contrary, I admire Lor very much and hope to communicate with him more in the future." Vivian answered modestly.

"Eh? Is that so?" Isabella smiled brightly, hugging Lor tighter. "That's perfect. It's still early. Why don't you come to our house, sit down, have a cup of tea, and have a good chat?"

"Um...sorry, I'm a little tired today."

Seeing how these two people were so inseparable, even the slow-witted Vivian gradually understood what was going on:

"I'll come and bother you next time I have the chance... I, I'm going back first! You should also go to bed early, Lor, and don't overwork yourself at night... Oh, sorry, I seem to have said too much! Anyway, bye!"
