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

There are only ten second-level divine arts. After mastering them all, as long as the accumulated merits are sufficient, you can continue to apply for promotion to the third level... But Lor has only been at the second level for a week, and the progress is already halfway?

Even with the help of the "Super Strength Stabilizer", isn't this speed too exaggerated?

I said before that Lor might leave the Gordon City Exorcist Team before me... I was only half joking, but now it seems that this might really be the case...

Maybe as soon as I get promoted to the fourth level, Lor will follow!

"Such an amazing talent is simply unheard of..."

Captain Ronina shook her head secretly and sighed in her heart.

At the same time, Lor was thinking about something else.

He was a little concerned about where the sealed "exit" in the underground cave would lead to.

The captain said that deep underground there is a "forbidden place that even extraordinary people should not approach casually"... What kind of place would that be?

41. This woman has no heart

15 Oak Street.

Roland was holding a large broom and sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard unsteadily.

For a doll like it, the broom is really too big, twice as tall as it is, so it has a lot of effort to sweep the floor, and its movements are quite clumsy.

It would take him most of the day just to clean the yard.

Not to mention that afterwards, I have to mop the floor, hang up the flyers, and pick up the plates that Isabella has thrown everywhere... This crazy girl, can't she choose a fixed place to eat?

Don't increase my workload out of thin air!

Besides, cakes and puddings are not considered meals, okay? How can someone who just gave birth pay so little attention to nutrition?

Thinking of this, Roland turned his head with resentment and looked at the mother and daughter who were happily basking in the sun together not far away.

Logically speaking, any normal person would feel pity when seeing such a small and adorable me struggling with rough work, right? No normal person would be able to stand watching, right?

But this crazy girl Isabella is so cold-blooded!

It would be fine if she didn't help, but she actually urged me to hurry up, as if I owed her something!

...This woman has no heart.

The doll Roland raised his little hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, wiping away the non-existent tears.

Back in the day, I was the leader of the Ouroboros, a powerful and influential gang... I manufactured all kinds of drugs in Gordon, sold them in Palmer, and controlled smuggling routes deep underground... If there hadn't been a traitor in the organization, how could the church have caught me?

Who could have imagined that we would end up in such a situation!

Alas, a hero never brags about his past achievements... Let's get back to the present.

And that little girl named Meimei is outrageous too. Although she doesn't have a sweet tooth like her mother, she still has a big appetite. She's already eaten five meals today! In my opinion, she's going to bankrupt this family sooner or later!

As for that Lor, it is obvious that he is not a good person either. He has a head full of evil intentions and is full of bad intentions!

And he admires himself in the mirror every morning. As a grown man, he is too narcissistic! In terms of beauty, you are not even a bit better than me!

all in all.

This family is really weird.

"Alas, it seems that I am the only normal person in this house." Doll Roland sighed.

On the other side, Isabella held Bailong Meimei in her arms and was looking through a picture book with her. This was something left in the children's room by the original owner of the house.

"Meimei, look, doesn't this painting look a lot like us?" Isabella said excitedly, pointing to a picture of a family of three holding hands.

"Ouch!"

The little girl nodded vigorously, then pointed at the little girl in the picture and said incoherently:

"Meimei!"

Then, they pointed to the couple in the painting:

"Lor! Isabella!"

After one day of learning, Meimei could not only say her name correctly, but also memorized some simple words.

"Yeah, that's right! My Meimei is so smart!" Isabella happily hugged the little girl, buried her pretty face in her soft light blue hair, and took a deep breath.

Creamy and creamy.

Just then, Meimei noticed the text below the picture.

She tilted her head in confusion, and after a few seconds, she looked up at Isabella expectantly, obviously wanting to know the meaning of those words.

"Well, the word is...mom." Isabella taught patiently.

"Mom...Mom...Mom!" The little girl learned quickly, "Isabella! Mom!"

"Hey, hey, hey?" The eldest daughter blushed immediately and stammered, "Well, it's too early for me to call you mom or something like that... You, just call me sister!"

"Isabella, sister?" Meimei held her index finger and frowned slightly.

The adult world is too complicated and she can't understand it at all.

On the other side, Roland, the doll who was sweeping the yard, shook his head and complained in his heart, "I know that this child was not born through normal means, so we have to hide it from others and declare them to be sisters... But even the children themselves can't know the truth, isn't it a bit too much?"

This woman is really heartless!

Just then, Meimei noticed that there was a dog drawn in the corner of the picture.

Then he pointed at the dog again and asked:

"...Roland?"

The child had never seen an animal like a dog. In her opinion, since there were four creatures in the picture, they must correspond to the four people in the house.

"Well, technically, the doll is our 'servant,'" Isabella replied. "But, well, it's not much different from a dog, so I'll just assume you're right!"

...Hey, that's too much!

Roland turned his head angrily.

However, its doll-like face lacks the necessary facial muscles, and no matter how hard it tries, it cannot make an angry expression.

It just makes people feel silly and cute.

"Speaking of which, isn't Lor about to come back?" Isabella glanced at the sky. The sun had already set in the west, and dusk was approaching. "We've run out of food at home. If that idiot doesn't bring back dinner, Meimei will starve!"

Also, I'm a little hungry...

I always feel that my desire to "suck blood" has become stronger recently.

I didn't get to suck Lor's blood last night, and now I'm itching to do it. I can't help it... Well, I'll wait until later, after Meimei falls asleep, and then sneak into Lor's room...

Tonight, I must suck it all in!

……

Meanwhile, Gordon City Church.

Lor wrote the mission report and handed it to Captain Ronina's office, then prepared to go back to the duty room to fish for a while before getting off work, and by the way, ask the bald brother Stanley for advice on raising children.

But unexpectedly, the duty room was empty.

...Did Senior Stanley retire early?

Not likely.

In my impression, he is a very methodical person, unlike his predecessor Joyce who is sloppy and undisciplined.

Just as he was wondering, a church worker happened to pass by and said to Lor, "Oh, someone just came to report a crime, and you were not here, so Stanley went to the reception room alone to meet the person who reported the crime."

Ah, this...

It’s almost time to get off work, what a coincidence, and you’re reporting the case now?

Lor sighed in his heart, thinking that he would have to work overtime.

My mental flags aren't lying to me, today has been quite busy...

So he walked quickly to the reception room, wondering what style Stanley had when receiving the person who reported the case. It would be bad if he treated the person the same as usual and scared him.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a freckled girl slamming her hands on the table and yelling excitedly:

"I've already told you that my father was attacked by a group of extraordinary beings! Those people were sent by the Duke of Camberley. Go and rescue him quickly!"

……What?

Luo was stunned.

The Duke of Campbury?

The great nobleman of Palmer, the Duke of Canbury?

P.S.

I will only update once today. I will take the bus home in the afternoon to have the New Year’s Eve dinner. I will inevitably have to drink... Just think of it as giving myself half a day off.

Happy New Year everyone! May everything go well in the new year!

42. Our Family’s Lucky Star

What a coincidence.

Thinking of the private auction held by the Duke of Cambury not long ago, Lor couldn't help but feel doubtful.

He carefully observed the person who reported the case.

There are three in total.

In addition to the freckled, emotional girl, there was also a worried middle-aged woman who looked quite similar to the girl and seemed to be her mother.

Judging from the elegance of their clothing, the mother and daughter came from well-off families, though not aristocrats. Furthermore, standing behind them was a man in simple attire, presumably a servant.

"In short, please send someone to rescue my father as soon as possible!" The girl remembered that she was about to cry.

"Calm down."

Stanley replied calmly, his tone carrying an unquestionable sense of authority.

At the same time, Lor felt a faint spiritual power emanating from him. It seemed that this senior had just used the "Powerful Words Technique" again... To be honest, in some cases, this second-level divine art was quite convenient.

The girl's expression froze, and the anxiety and uneasiness in her face were obviously relieved a lot.

"Let's start by introducing ourselves," Stanley said again.

"Let me tell you the story," the middle-aged woman took over. "My husband's name is Benjamin Bane. He's a law-abiding businessman in Palmer City... I'm his wife, and this is our daughter, Leah."

...a law-abiding businessman?

Lor narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Your daughter just said that Mr. Bane was attacked by people sent by the Duke of Cambury? And they were attacked by a group of extraordinary people? Do you have any idea about the reason behind this?"

"This... I'm not quite sure..." Mrs. Bane's eyes dodged, and her face showed hesitation.

"Mother, now that things have come to this, please stop hiding it."

The girl Liya said:

"In fact, my father is not just a businessman, he is also an illegal transcendent who is seeking the root of the mystery!

"Many years ago, relying on his own extraordinary abilities and some clues he stumbled upon, he successfully discovered the 'Dragon Cemetery' buried deep underground. He then made a fortune by selling dragon bones on the black market...

"A few days ago, my father took me to see the giant dragon cemetery. But not long after we returned, he was targeted by a group of people! They must be coveting those valuable dragon bones and want to force my father to reveal the method and route to the giant dragon cemetery!"

"You insist that the group of people are the Duke of Campbury's men. Do you have any evidence?" Lor asked again.

"The night before last, when my father was covering our escape, I clearly heard someone mention the word 'My Lord Duke'! There is only one Duke in the city of Pamel, it couldn't be anyone else!"

Lor pondered for a moment and roughly figured out what had happened.

The dragon remains buried deep underground...

Is this the "forbidden place" that Captain Ronina mentioned earlier, which one should not approach casually?

The transcendents of the "Searching for Secrets" origin are most adept at exploring secrets and uncovering treasures, so it's no surprise that they found this place... If there really are a large number of dragon bones buried there, their value is truly inestimable...
