After thinking about it, Eve quietly closed the door and walked out without disturbing them.
"Hmm... where should we go next..."
At this time, Eve didn't know what to do next. The supplies needed for the trip had been prepared, and the adoption matters were being processed. She now felt a little bored.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, the woman who had originally led them suddenly walked out of the president's office with a booklet in her hand. After seeing Eve, she walked quickly towards her.
"Your Highness, you are here. The city of Pegasus requires the adopter to own a mansion for adoption. Here are some properties for sale that can be completed today. Please take your pick."
As he spoke, he handed over the booklet in his hand.
After casually opening it and taking a look, Eve decisively closed the book in her hand.
…If she was not mistaken, why did it seem like there were only luxurious villas with courtyards inside?
Isn't it a bit outrageous to transfer such a big villa to her name just for adoption?
Wait, she's a princess, and she lives in a castle? That's fine.
After another quick look, Eve discovered that there wasn't a single house without a courtyard in the brochure. After a moment's thought, she, overcome with decision-making difficulties, decided to let Lucia choose for herself, since she was going to be the one to live in.
But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be confirmed.
"By the way, which houses are located within the area where teleportation magic can be used? Please pick out those houses."
In order to avoid accidents or direct infiltration by elite enemy forces, the human race's major cities have set up magic to hinder teleportation, and the coverage area of some cities even includes the suburbs of the city.
Since Eve planned to use teleportation magic to visit Lucia from time to time, she naturally had to choose an address within an area where she could be teleported.
"Please wait."
As she spoke, the woman took back the booklet and began to mark it.
"Okay, that's all. Please take a look."
When the booklet was handed back to Eve, some of the footers had folds, about seven or eight in number.
"Okay, Lucia, just pick one you like. This will be your home from now on."
This time, Eve simply handed the booklet to Lucia and gave her the right to choose.
"Ok!"
Lucia started flipping through the books.
"...Um...Is this okay?"
After some selection, Lucia chose a house with a beautiful garden, probably because she was attracted by the garden.
"Okay, this one then."
"Okay, then there are some procedures that I need to handle in person. Please follow me, Your Highness."
"Ah."
Before going, Eve thought it was just a matter of completing some formalities and it couldn't be that troublesome. Then she regretted it so much that she wanted to travel back in time and beat herself up.
Although the Chamber of Commerce had already handled some of the procedures required for adoption and property transfer for her, the remaining steps that required her to be present in person still gave her a hard time, reminding her of the fear of being controlled by various XX bureaus in her previous life.
She had nothing to do before, but now, an entire afternoon disappeared out of thin air.
Finally, when she led Lucia out of the adoption agency, it was almost dusk, and Eve was already exhausted. If she had a choice, she would rather fight with the devil's followers than go through this process again.
"Eve, what's wrong with you?!"
At the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, Istina, who was waiting for Eve to come back, was extremely surprised when she saw her like this.
"It's nothing. I'm just having a headache because of the messy procedures. It will be fine after a while."
At this time, Istina has returned to her former self, but it is unknown whether she has recovered or is pretending to be fine.
"Let's go and take a look at the new house."
"Eh?! House? Why did you buy a house, Eve?"
"The regulations here require you to own a property in your name to adopt someone, so I bought one right away. Let's go. It seems to be quite close to the base."
Eve said after glancing at the map in her hand.
"it is good."
Then, after walking for less than half an hour, the group arrived at the property, where some people from the Chamber of Commerce were cleaning up.
The biggest difference between this property and other options is its garden. Various flowers are carefully arranged according to the season, ensuring that there will always be beautiful scenery for the owner to enjoy.
At this time, Lucia had already excitedly arrived at the flowers and looked around, seeming to like the scenery very much.
"Lucia, let's go. We still need to take a look inside the house."
"Ok!"
After entering the room, they asked Istina to take Lucia around first, while Eve went down to the basement of the house. Judging from the shelves there, it might be a storage room for storing red wine, but Eve planned to use it for other purposes.
After pushing all the shelves aside, Eve began to draw the magic circle of teleportation, as well as various auxiliary magics such as reinforcement and concealment.
She would prepare it here when she teleported to see Lucia in the future. Although it was unlikely to be used, Lucia could still use it to transfer directly to the inner castle of the Blood Clan Royal City when in danger.
Of course, after the directional teleportation is triggered, if the people behind still want to use this teleportation array to catch up, then the tower will have to prepare to experience lava diving.
Ding, your ticket for the one-day tour to the Burning Danger has arrived. The activity you will experience is diving in the lava lake.
"call."
After setting up the magic circle, Eve also left the basement. Since the entrance to the basement was quite inconspicuous, there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in.
However, according to Murphy's Law, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen. So Eve still put a layer of defense and camouflage magic at the door of the basement, and set the unlocking condition to Lucia and her magic fluctuations. It was perfect and foolproof.
At this time, Istina had already returned from a walk with Lucia.
This house can accommodate a large number of people at the same time. It has two master bedrooms, four secondary bedrooms, several guest rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and other rooms. I guess the Chamber of Commerce will arrange for some people to move in and take care of Lucia.
"Well, how about it, little Lucia? Do you like it here? This will be your home from now on."
"Yeah! I like it. Thank you, Sister Eve!"
"Hoo hoo, I'm glad you like it. Come, remember this place. If little Lucia is in danger, come here and go down from this side."
Eve said as she opened the basement door.
"Then stand in the magic circle and release the magic power to be transported to my sister's castle. OK, remember that?"
"Ok!"
And then Eve thought of something.
"Well, that doesn't seem very safe."
After all, if Lucia encountered danger somewhere else or couldn't come here, then all the preparations would be in vain.
After thinking for a while, Eve gathered a huge amount of magic power in her hands, and then an exquisite necklace appeared in her hands.
"Come, Lucia."
As she spoke, Eve put the necklace in her hand around her fair neck.
"If you're ever in danger, hold this necklace in your hand and think of me. I'll come to help you. Remember?"
"Ok!"
Eve added many magics such as teleportation, positioning, perception, and protection to this necklace. As long as Lucia is in danger, she can teleport over to save her immediately.
After completing these preparations, our cautious Miss Eve finally felt relieved.
§ 68 Departure
夜晚
After setting up the teleportation array and enjoying dinner, Lucia was coaxed to bed by Eve after a while, while Istina was chatting happily with Elesa. The topic seemed to have ranged from Elesa's rise to some secrets between girls.
As for Eve, she ran to the roof and looked up at the similar yet different night sky.
Ilvia, who was beside her, seemed to like this scenery as well, and was lying quietly beside her.
"Does Wei Ya also like to look at the stars?"
"Well, because it's related to my characteristics."
"Is this so..."
The higher-level weapon elves all have their own different characteristics, some of which are reflected in their names. Take Viya’s self-introduction when she appeared as an example, Holy Sword·Water Moon Thousand Stars·Ilvia. The Holy Sword is her form as a weapon, and her characteristic is the Water Moon Thousand Stars part.
She said that the star-related characteristics refer to Thousand Stars and Starry Night. Thousand Stars is a status bonus, which is the BUFF that Wei Ya uses for Eve in every battle. The effect is to bless herself with the power of the stars, and the effect will be enhanced at night.
As for Xingye, it is an offensive field. Since she recovered her memory, she has not used it yet due to the excess offensive means.
The remaining two characteristics of Wei Ya are auxiliary abilities with no offensive power, emphasizing the protection of the holder. They are completely different from Arcana, whose all characteristics are either attack or amplification of attack power. It can be said that her two weapon elves are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
To be fair to her, she had a hard time planning her fighting style.
But now it seems that Arcana is at a disadvantage? After all, she has basically always been in vampire mode.
Because the destructiveness of Eve's magic increases greatly when she is in dragon mode, she basically doesn't dare to fight in dragon mode. Generally, her vampire state is enough to solve the problem. In a sense, her vampire mode acts as a balancer.
At least so far she hasn't encountered an opponent that requires her to switch to dragon mode to defeat.
As for daily life, after all, she has adapted to the body of a vampire for more than two years and has become accustomed to it. It is definitely not because the front armor in dragon mode is too thick that she finds it troublesome, absolutely not!
But... I should compensate Arcana more when I have time later.
"Eve? Are you here?"
"Yes~"
Suddenly, Istina's voice was heard from the door leading to the rooftop.
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
As she spoke, Istina walked over to Eve and sat down.
"Well, I just suddenly wanted to see the night sky. When I was in the vampire tribe, I could only see the sky at night. Suddenly, I wanted to see what the night sky looks like on the human side."
Her busy life as a hero left her with no energy to waste time like this.
"So... is there a difference?"
Istina asked curiously.
"No, it's the same night sky."
Eve clapped her hands and sat up with her hands.
"Well, go down, we have to travel again tomorrow morning."
"Eh? But you haven't bought the tent or anything yet?"
"I bought it this afternoon, and any missing items can be solved with magic. Let's go to bed."
"Ah."
—·—·—·—·—·—·—
After a night, in the early morning, after saying goodbye to the children in the monastery and Lucia, Eve and Istina set out on their journey, although the purpose of their trip might be a little unconventional.
Others travel to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but she is traveling to seek revenge. By the time she reaches her destination, the Grans family will be in big trouble.
At this time, our Miss Eve was... regretting.
"Ah - how boring!"
Damn it, it turns out that adventure stories are all artistically processed!
Real hiking is so boring!
When she was active as a hero, she usually traveled by carriage or teleported directly, which led her to completely underestimate how boring it would be to walk.
The two of them had been walking for the entire morning. It was fine when they were close to the city, but as they gradually moved away from the city, they met few people on the entire road except for the occasional passing carriage.
The endless plains on both sides of the road seemed quite fresh at first, but after a while they became a bit monotonous.
So, Eve decided to change her way of traveling.
