I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

From the shops and stalls on the street to the managers of the entire city, the city defense team in public and the black market and gangs in secret, as long as you still live in this city, don't even think about getting rid of the influence of the Grans family.

In all the cities, big and small, within the country of wealth, this is the case in all cities with chaebol families at their core. It is no exaggeration to say that this country was founded and controlled by businessmen.

In other countries, the five major families that control the Golden Valley have almost controlled the vast majority of chambers of commerce and the circulation of all commodities through their cooperation. If it were not for the Empire and the Church to clamp down on them, it is estimated that selling inferior products as good ones, hoarding goods at high prices, and forced buying and selling would have happened everywhere long ago.

After all, these guys would do anything as long as they could get money. Even if it was her, a brave warrior who was related to the long-cherished wish of the human race to expand westward, they would sell her without any hesitation. They even sold her to the devil's followers, the mortal enemies of all life on the continent. And judging from the situation in the monastery, the two groups seemed to be cooperating quite happily.

After all, even a butler like Thomas could hear rumors that many family secret guards took action to eliminate troublemakers.

Tsk, now Eve gets furious when she thinks about how she was sold twice.

First, the Empire offered her a price to fight against the Vampire King and sacrifice her life, but that was not enough. Then they sold her to the Demon God’s followers and finally squeezed her dry. It was really no waste at all.

After entering the room, Eve first used detection magic to check around to make sure there was no tampering in the room. Then she set up a layer of warning barrier and a linked triggered defense barrier, and finally released the two weapon elves.

"Viya, Arcana, come out."

As the seals on her hands glowed faintly, Ilvia and Arcana appeared in the room.

"Master, have we entered the city yet?"

Arcana asked after looking at the furnishings in the room.

"Well, we're here. Remember to put on this clothing when you two go out, and especially put on the hat."

As she spoke, Eve took out two large hoodies from the demiplane and handed them to them. She also took out a positioning stone and placed it on the table in the room.

The hoodie is to cover up the appearance of the two weapon elves to avoid encountering nosy people, and the positioning stone is used to provide a mark for the dark guard. Next, she only needs to wait for the dark guard to come to her. It is estimated that he will come tonight?

As for the daytime, she planned to go to her former residence first to check it out... ahem, take a tour, and then destroy it when she dismantled the family business. After all, she always keeps her word.

"Well, let's go to our 'old house' first."

Eve's tone was noticeably strange when she mentioned her former residence.

"Uh-huh."

The same goes for Istina standing by. She probably feels it's extremely strange. After all, her house has been visited by countless people. Although there is nothing useful and no signs of life in it, it still feels strange.

So they left the hotel and headed to the former hero's residence, now the location of the Hero's Memorial Hall.

Well, Eve has personally experienced the experience of having to pay for tickets and queue up when I go back to my hometown. I guess there is no other such experience in the whole mainland.

Just like what she had seen outside the city before, there were a huge number of tourists visiting here. They were all gathered outside the gate, and were being led in batches by tour guides.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Eve's group's turn. Of course, Eve didn't just wait there obediently. She chose to use her money to solve the problem - paying extra money to buy VIP tickets.

But buying VIP tickets actually only shortened the waiting time, because you still had to join a group. Well, yes, the door was not opened for only four people, but fortunately, the price was not chopped off by 100 million dollars or something.

Now, after another group of people arrived and formed a complete group, a tour guide came to lead them into the Brave Memorial Hall.

Then, before they even entered the memorial hall, as soon as the door opened, Eve felt as if struck by lightning and wished she could be buried right there.

Because there are several statues standing in the most conspicuous position at the entrance, ensuring that everyone entering and leaving can see them.

As for the statues' identities, need I even explain them? They were, of course, her, Istina, and the teammates assigned to her by her family. Her statue stood in the foreground, holding a holy sword, flanked by Istina, and behind her were the others, including the assassin who had backstabbed Eve. Eve was visibly irritated by the sight.

The expression on Istina's face beside her was also indescribably strange. To be honest, the feeling of seeing her own statue was simply too weird, especially since it was an artistically processed version. It was totally not the action she would make, and that expression was also very strange.

There is also a sign in front of the statue that reads 'In memory of the brave Carol Grans and the brave team, may the glory of the human race remain forever'.

"..."

There were so many complaints that Eve didn't know where to start.

Not to mention that she was stabbed to death by them, but at least Istina was still alive when the statue was erected. How could she be thrown into the list of casualties?

He also said, "May the glory of the human race last forever." For money, he would even sell the life of a brave man to the devil's followers who are his mortal enemy, and he still talks about glory here. Now, looking at the assassin Eve in the statue, he is furious.

"call……"

After taking a deep breath, Eve forced herself to calm down. To be honest, she was considering whether to cast a spell that would force herself to calm down, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would start to take action.

At this time, the tour guide in front also began to introduce.

"Before you all is the statue of our human warrior and his team. They chose to defeat the vampire demon king for the sake of our race's long-cherished wish, but unfortunately they died. If you would like to take a photo with the statue, please pay a gold coin. Thank you for your cooperation."

Well, the vampire queen (Queen) Elizabeth mentioned by the tour guide, one of the people here calls her Mother and the other calls her Mom.

And from what the tour guide said, if she chose to pay, she could also take a paid photo with the statue?

There are so many complaints just after entering the door. Eve doesn’t dare to think about what will irritate her nerves later.

I just hope I won’t go crazy and tear this place down.

§ 117 Brave Team

After passing the statue at the door, there is an overview map of the entire memorial in the room behind. From the map, it can be seen that the family is centered around her former residence and surrounds the expanded Memorial Hall for Bravery.

The entire memorial hall includes several areas, including an introduction to the life of the brave team, an exhibition area for equipment they once used, and an area for the brave team's former residences. The front part is the exhibition area for other people in the brave team, and the back part is for her, the brave team.

How should I put it? The moment Eve saw the map, she began to recall her own experiences frantically. Fortunately, she didn't expect that she had any dark history, although she suspected that her family would make up some anecdotes for her to cater to the visitors' gossip.

"Next, I will take you on a tour of the life stories of each member of the Brave Squad. If anyone would like to purchase a small map of the memorial hall, please raise your hand. If not, please follow me."

After a brief pause, the tour guide continued to lead everyone inside, accompanied by embedded advertisements in the commentary.

By the way, although the tour guide said that buying maps was completely voluntary, she didn't continue walking until each of them bought one. Otherwise, she just smiled and looked at them motionless. What a forced sale!

It turns out that the VIP tickets they bought can only reduce the waiting time, but even a map is charged separately!

"What you are seeing now is the life story of each member of our Brave Squad. They are all elite warriors of the human race, and they have chosen to join the Brave Squad for the long-cherished wish of humanity. First up is this Shield Warrior, Robert. He is the main defensive force of the Brave Squad. His strong shield can block all attacks and has protected the Brave Squad countless times..."

The tour guide was still talking incessantly about the portrait of a ferocious man on the wall, but Eve and Istina were both speechless.

If they remembered correctly, it seemed like these members were all assigned by their families? And were they bound to their orders by the coercive contract they signed when they sold themselves? How could this be considered voluntary? If there were no coercive contract, and they didn't even have to go to the Vampire Clan's Imperial City, they would probably have simply run away along the way.

And the one in the introduction who protected the hero countless times, if Eve remembered correctly, it should be the other way around, right?

Since that guy likes to rush forward mindlessly, Eve often needs to rush into the enemy group to pull him out.

And that shield can block all attacks. In Eve's memory, this guy seemed to have been killed instantly when fighting with Elizabeth.

"Then there's the great magician Coles. His magic has helped brave warriors without magical abilities countless times. His attainments in magic are also extremely profound, and he can easily tear apart any defense..."

...If Eve remembers correctly, the tour guide had just said Robert's shield could block any attack? How come Coles' magic could shred any defense the next second? Some otherworldly version of "using your own spear to pierce your own shield"?

Moreover, that guy couldn't even break through Elizabeth's anti-magic at that time, and he was still tearing apart any defense. I suggest he go back to training.

"Next is the assassin Alex in the team. He is a sharp blade hidden in the darkness, eliminating all powerful enemies for the brave team. It is said that his concealment can even deceive the vampire demon king..."

If she just wanted to complain about the first two people, then for this guy, Eve wanted to pull him up and kill him again with her own hands, and scatter his ashes for him.

He eliminated all powerful enemies for the brave team, and finally stabbed her to death when she hurt Elizabeth.

However, this guy did accomplish something that the others couldn't do - he committed suicide very quickly after backstabbing Eve, which made Elizabeth very unhappy about it. He also caused some trouble for the Vampire Queen before he died.

"Next is the hero's attendant, a member of the Grans family, Miss Istina Grans. She is responsible for taking care of the hero's daily life, arranging his schedule, and other matters. Due to her lack of combat ability, she did not participate in the campaign against the vampire demon king. After the news of the hero's defeat spread, she chose to live in seclusion at the border. However, her residence was attacked by unknown individuals not long ago, and her whereabouts are now unknown. Our Grans family will definitely track this down."

Thump, thump, thump. Finally, it was Istina's turn to be introduced. Fortunately, the family did not do any artistic processing. However, as for the attack by unknown persons, it seemed that this was how they promoted it to the outside world. It was obvious that it was the people they sent themselves who forcibly took Istina back.

And Istina, who was next to Eve, was also in a tense state when listening to the tour guide's introduction, fearing that she would say something strange. She only breathed a sigh of relief after it was over.

Then things changed. Before Eve could tease Istina, it was her turn to stop laughing.

"Finally, there's our hero, Carol Grans. He was originally a child in an orphanage affiliated with the Grans family. During the Awakening Ceremony, he was recognized by the Holy Sword and became a hero. During his time as a hero, he helped people countless times. Finally, at the request of the Imprum Empire, he chose to lead his team to the vampires to defeat the evil vampire demon king. However, he was ultimately defeated and died. Let us all remember this hero of our human race."

Seeing that everyone else was bowing their heads in remembrance, Eve and Istina were forced to learn to bow their heads as well. Well, now I am commemorating myself.

Moreover, the family also took the opportunity to put the blame on the empire for sending heroes to fight against the blood clan demon king so early. After all, there are many people in the human race who believe that heroes cannot defeat the blood clan demon king. This is why the heroes in the past usually go there before they leave their prime.

In the eyes of those people, instead of letting such a powerful hero die so early, it is better to do more things on the human side and then give it a try at the end. If they win, they will make a lot of money, and if they die, they will not lose anything. After all, no matter how pessimistic they are, they have to give it a try.

However, it now seems that the actions of the Grans family, the Empire, and the Demon God believers not only sent the Holy Sword to the Blood Clan, leaving the Human Race without a Holy Sword user in the future, but also created a peak combat force for the Blood Clan, forcing the Human Race to face an even more desperate combat power gap when expanding westward.

It was almost a series of operations, but I ended up getting myself a big daddy?

However, Eve felt that it would not be her turn to face the westward expansion of the human race in the future. After all, the Holy Sword Master was gone. Unless the radicals on the empire's side went crazy and insisted on carrying a coffin to fight to the death, and her mother happened to be unable to take action, then it would be her turn to face this matter.

Haha, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? Just think about it and you will know it is impossible... right?

Then, in the future Fallen Plain, facing the human army, Eve wanted to tear her own crow's mouth apart. What does it mean to have a prophecy come true? ! !

§ 118 Return

After introducing the life stories of the brave team members, the tour guide then led them to the next exhibition hall.

"Next, you will visit the exhibition hall of the relics of the members of the Brave Squad. Please note that you are prohibited from touching the relics, otherwise you will be fined."

Upon hearing this, Eve and Istina breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Fortunately, touching was prohibited. Although they were just some equipment, it still felt weird to know that their things were touched by countless people every day.

"But our Grans family has also prepared a one-to-one replica for you. If you need it, please sign up to purchase it."

Oh, so they are waiting here.

Judging from the blocking operation on the map, they are going to experience the imitation of my own equipment?

Well, I feel like there are more experiences that most people will never have in their lifetime, although Eve doesn't want to have such experiences at all.

"First, what you see is the set of armor that the brave hero once used. You can tell from the scars on this armor how many battles the brave hero has experienced while wearing it, and there's also the repair mark on the chest..."

Eve was speechless as she listened to the guide's introduction. This set of armor was indeed one she had used before, but where did all the damage come from? It was clearly in perfect condition when she replaced it.

And generally speaking, if armor is damaged once, you should consider replacing it with a better one if possible. Are you still wearing this damaged one because you think you haven't died yet?!

And the size of the wound on her chest—if she'd been hit like that, she'd definitely have died! She wasn't an immortal vampire back then, so even if she was faking it, she should have at least put some effort into it! Anyone with a discerning eye could tell it was fake, right?

"Next are the armor and spellcasting media once used by the hero's valet, Miss Istina. Since Miss Istina lacks aptitude for offensive magic, she was responsible for healing the hero's injuries. Before retiring, she chose to donate her equipment to the family for display. The spellcasting media she used had the ability to reduce power consumption, enhance effects, and..."

"It was obviously taken away by force."

While listening to the tour guide's introduction, Istina complained quietly.

"It's okay. I'll get it back for you when I tear this place down."

"Ok!"

On the other side, after introducing Istina's equipment, the tour guide introduced a set of heavy armor.

"This set of heavy armor is a spare for Shield Warrior Robert. There is only one original piece. The other has been lost in the territory of the vampires. Perhaps it will be recovered by human warriors in the future."

Hearing this, Eve wanted to correct him. The other set could no longer be found. After all, he was blasted into ashes along with his shield and armor by Elizabeth, and he couldn't even survive a single move.

"This heavy armor can withstand powerful attacks without sustaining any damage. It's the perfect choice for any adventure. Those who purchase VIP tickets now can also receive a replica of Robert's shield."

Wow, there’s even an exclusive ad for VIP tickets.

"Below is the secret spellbook of magician Coles. He entrusted it to us before leaving to prevent the secrets contained within from being lost. This is also available only to VIP ticket holders. If you purchase it now, you can receive a copy of the spellbook."

To be honest, Eve felt that she was not visiting the Brave Memorial Hall, but a sales exhibition with a brave theme.

"Finally, there's Assassin Alex's Shadow Cloak and Shadow Blade. These are definitely the assassin's go-to equipment and will definitely give you even more power!"

Wow, in the end there was no even any preparation, the real purpose was revealed directly, even the map of Yan State was gone.

And how could the guy who backstabbed me have ever used these two pieces of equipment?

Finally, after introducing everyone in turn, the tour guide stood quietly at the door leading to the next area and looked at their group with a smile.

Is there any need to tell me how to let her lead the tour?

In the end, Eve carried a replica of her own armor, and Istina carried her own replica, and everyone entered the next area, which was also Eve's former residence.

However, because there was another group of people visiting inside, they could only wait outside for a while.

"call…"

Looking at the familiar small courtyard in front of them, Eve and Istina's expressions were somewhat complicated and a little subtle.

"Although I did say before I left that I would definitely come back, I didn't expect it to be in this way."

"Yeah, it always feels like a dream."

"Do you need my help to confirm it?"

Eve asked with a smile after hearing what Istina said.
