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

This is another important reason why the vampires all choose to "seclude themselves from the world".

"Speaking of which, do I need to deal with the scene to avoid exposing my whereabouts?" Isabella tilted her head and pondered for a long time. "Hmm, what should I do... Lor seems to be very good at this kind of crooked things. If it's him..."

Forget it, I don't want to.

Burn it down with fire, done!

33. Go get a room

After walking out of the door of the Mystic Association, Lor let out a long sigh.

When in front of Vann, he maintained a poker face the whole time, looking calm and composed, but in fact, he was not as calm as he appeared.

Come on, I saw a dragon today!

A living dragon!

Of course, what shocked him even more was that "voodoo" and "occult", two extraordinary powers from different origins, could actually merge into a "dragon" under certain conditions... Although the principle behind this was still unclear, it was enough to subvert common sense.

But then again, so-called "common sense" is never absolute.

The common sense possessed by ordinary people is different from that possessed by extraordinary people.

For example, ordinary people only know that exorcists, mystics and the like are very powerful, but they don’t understand how they get their power; as for the difference between the "right source" and the "source of evil", they only have a vague idea of ​​it, but as for what the so-called "source of evil" are, they have no idea at all.

The pursuit of supernatural powers always comes with danger, so this information is kept strictly confidential from the general public.

...Similarly, the common sense possessed by low-level extraordinary people is also different from that of high-level extraordinary people.

As I said before, the world of supernatural powers is full of secrets, and certain intelligence can only be accessed after reaching a certain level. This is the same in any supernatural organization.

Lor couldn't be completely sure whether Vann's unexpected discovery today was some kind of "knowledge that should not be discovered yet" to him, but it was always better to be cautious.

"Then, all I need to do next is wait for Vann to help me research the meaning of those words... The fact that they can be engraved on the token means that those two lines of words have special meaning to the members of the Dark Moon Society."

As Lor walked forward, he thought silently:

"This way, I can learn more about this organization before the 'tea party' tomorrow night... Although, I don't think it will be useful."

In fact, Lor still had some doubts about whether or not to attend this "tea party".

According to Captain Roninna, this is a very dangerous organization. If you rashly get involved with them, it will definitely be accompanied by great risks... It's not too late to give up now before you really get involved.

At this moment, the wise voice in my mind sounded again:

[A wise choice, Lor. People should be cowardly when they should be. As a mere first-level transcendent, you should recognize your own strength and avoid getting involved in high-level games. Otherwise, you might die without even knowing how!]

[Do you really think you can just do whatever you want just because you have the protagonist's aura? Young man, don't blame me for not warning you!]

...Thank you, I feel much more at ease.

The tension in Lor's heart relaxed a little.

If one climbs up the church's promotion path step by step and wants to become a high-level expert, it will take at least ten or eight years, and that's if everything goes well... Lor doesn't want to spend that long.

Now that the opportunity is in front of us, we must seize it.

After making up his mind, Lor took a deep breath and began to think about what other preparations he could make besides waiting for Vann's investigation results.

"Well, first of all... I still don't know the specific method they're going to use to lure people into the 'tea party'. It's best if I don't stay home then, lest someone guess my true identity based on my location and surroundings...

"Also, when you report to the church tomorrow morning, double-check 'John the Cleaner's' appearance with the portrait on the wanted poster, to avoid any confusion..."

At this moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.

Lor, immersed in thought, was caught off guard and was suddenly shocked.

When I turned around, it was Isabella.

"Kukuku, I scared you, didn't you?" Isabella covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "You didn't even notice me approaching. You're still far away!"

Lor looked up at the sun in the sky:

"Did you say you'd sleep until noon? It's not even noon yet."

"I, I just woke up too!" Isabella was flustered, looking around, looking a little guilty. "I just took a few steps on the street and I noticed your presence. Isn't that a coincidence?"

...There's clearly a problem.

Lor bent his knees slightly so that his eye level was with Isabella's.

"You, why are you staring at me like that? I've told you I haven't done anything wrong!"

"Really?"

"Really? I swear!... No, aren't you being too arrogant, idiot Lor?" Isabella put her hands on her hips. "As a servant, how could you doubt your master? If I say it's okay, it's okay!"

Alas, okay.

Since she didn't intend to say it, Lor had no way to force her and had to give up.

At least, judging from his previous performance when facing "Cleanup Man John" and the mid-level devil, this guy still has some intelligence and should not do anything stupid.

Meanwhile, there was a slight commotion in the streets.

A cloud of black smoke rose from the eastern sky.

"Fire?" Lor frowned.

"The weather has been so dry lately, there's nothing strange about a fire. What's the big deal?" Isabella put her arm around Lor's arm and said, "Come on, go shopping with me! This is a rare honor, you should be grateful!"

"Forget shopping, I have things to do." Luo Er was unmoved. "Well, since you have so much free time, why don't you come with me? I could use you."

"Eh? Where to go?"

"Let's find a hotel and get a room." Lor said calmly.

"Get a room?" Isabella was stunned. "Why would you get a room outside if you don't have a home to go back to?"

"Of course, it's because some things are inconvenient to do at home." Lor explained patiently, "Think about it, the apartment I live in has poor sound insulation. It would be bad if the neighbors heard any strange noises... and..."

Isabella was transfixed.

She thought to herself, what is this guy saying?

What does it mean to be heard strange noises by neighbors?

Also, what does “just in time to use me” mean?

Although I am naturally beautiful and Lor is a normal man, it is normal for him to feel extremely horny after spending a few days with me, but...

"How dare you say such things in broad daylight!" Isabella's face flushed red, steam rising from her forehead. "I know you're after my beauty, but your words just now were too explicit! I, I won't let you succeed, you pervert!"

Ah, this...

It was obvious that she had the wrong idea.

Although he was aware of this, Lor still deliberately made a puzzled expression and said in a low voice:

"What I mean is that it's best not to stay home when the 'tea party' starts, so you should go to the hotel in advance and book a room to prepare."

"Huh?" Isabella was stunned. "What do you mean by 'can use me'?"

"Help me move my stuff. If everything goes well, maybe I can use this opportunity to sell off that pile of holy water and other things at home. Of course, I have to move it in advance."

"……That's it?"

"What else? What do you think it is?" Lor said with a wicked grin.

"I, I thought..." Isabella was embarrassed and annoyed, "Stupid Lor, I won't help you! Move it yourself!"

34. It’s not because I’m afraid of loneliness

A few hours later.

In the east district of Gordon City, in a king-size suite of a luxury hotel.

"Stop it, you despicable, shameless, dirty man! I didn't agree to do this with you, you are committing a crime!" The girl cried out at the top of her lungs, "Help me, help me!"

Then a rude male voice sounded:

"Hehehe, go ahead and scream, Miss... no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"

"No, don't be so rough with me! My skirt is torn! You beast!"

The girl continued to scream:

"In broad daylight, facing such atrocities, isn't there a kind-hearted gentleman who can help? If a handsome and elegant prince charming were to step forward and save me from this dire situation, I would definitely take my fortune and marry him—"

"Haha, at this point, you still harbor illusions? Resistance is useless!"

Then, the room fell silent.

Isabella, neatly dressed, sat down on the big bed, her fair hands fanning her face. "Huh... I've been so engrossed in my acting that I'm almost hoarse... Hey, slave! Go get me a glass of water!"

Lor didn't move in a hurry, but opened the door slightly and listened carefully to the movement outside.

As a member of the vampire clan, his hearing is much sharper than that of ordinary people.

But still no sound was heard.

No hotel staff came upstairs to check what was happening, and no other guests opened their doors to listen to the commotion.

I have to say, the sound insulation here is really good.

It was indeed a high-end hotel where just one night's stay would cost Lor a week's salary.

Lor closed the door with satisfaction, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Isabella:

"Your last few sentences were a bit exaggerated."

"Where's the exaggeration? Isn't it just right?"

Isabella moistened her throat and snapped her fingers. To be on the safe side, she and Lor had both changed their appearances before checking into the hotel, and now they were returning to their original appearances.

"Besides, this is what was written in all the novels I've read before!"

"Read less novels," Lor complained, returning to his original appearance. "Besides, what year are those novels you're reading? Aren't the lines too outdated?"

"Are you saying I'm old in disguise again?" Isabella glared at him.

"No, you'll always be seventeen."

Lor said perfunctorily.

He checked the pile of holy water, talismans, silver swords and other things again, and only then did he feel completely relieved.

Isabella said she wouldn't help, and she really didn't help. Lor moved everything in by himself, and she just stood by and watched the whole process.

"By the way, this bed is really comfortable." Isabella bounced on the bed twice, then simply lay down without caring about her image. "Hey, Lor, why don't we just not go home and live here from now on?"

"What are you thinking? How can you afford to live here every day?" Luo Er complained, "Also, put your legs together, you're exposing yourself."

"Pervert!" Isabella's cheeks flushed, and she quickly adjusted her skirt. "You've been staring at me all day, and you still say you don't have any improper thoughts about me?"

...This guy is really weird.

Lor was speechless for a moment.

He had clearly flirted with me all sorts of ways before, calling me "darling" all the time, and had no qualms about hugging my neck and nibbling me at night, so why is he shy now?

Is there any change in mentality?

But it's understandable. Although she's a vampire, her mentality and behavior are no different from those of an ordinary girl. After spending a few days with a dashing, handsome man like me, it's inevitable that she'll fall in love with me...

"Hey, why are you suddenly acting so self-absorbed?" Isabella asked doubtfully. "Would a normal person suddenly tilt their head slightly in front of the mirror and hold their hair roots with their fingers like you do? You're way too narcissistic!"

"No, this is called looking at myself objectively." Lor said seriously.

"vomit!"

……

After a while of joking, Lor decided to talk about some serious topics.

"Speaking of which, Isabella... have you ever heard that two different supernatural roots can merge with each other and then transform into a new root?" Lor roughly recounted what happened in the Mystic Association today.

"As far as I know, it's indeed possible." Isabella frowned slightly. "However, not just any two roots can be fused, and the conditions for transformation are very demanding... At least in my time, some extraordinary people did use this method to gain new powers."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually became gloomy.

Yes, that’s right…a person’s “roots” can be changed.

So one day, maybe I can also change this disgusting identity of a vampire.
