I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

It is almost evening now. Taking into account the time spent on the road, the person who accepts the commission is most likely a vampire. Using this as a reward is still very attractive. Even if you don't drink it yourself, you can get a considerable reward by selling it.

After hearing her shout, the Adventurer's Guild fell silent and began to listen to her next words.

"It's in the Kaiwenster Caverns in the Waipoa Forest outside the city. We discovered a new passage, but as we explored deeper, we ran into danger. A powerful monster appeared inside, and the cave collapsed under its attack. The monster is very powerful, and it might take the combined efforts of several B-rank teams to take it out!"

After hearing the location she mentioned, many people, although coveting the reward of elven blood, still dispersed to the side, leaving the space to those B-level teams. After all, the Kaiwenster Cave itself is a high-risk area, and this time there are powerful monsters, which means there are not many they can participate in. Although the elves care about their fellow tribesmen very much, they are also somewhat helpless.

But even the captains of those B-level teams were a little hesitant at this time. After all, they also needed to consider the safety of their team members. As an underground cave, one of the major dangers of the Kaiwenster Cave was collapse. Considering that this trip was to fight against powerful monsters, they might be buried alive underground if they were not careful.

They also knew that the elf girl in front of them belonged to a B-level team. Even she was in such a miserable state, which made them feel a little nervous.

Seeing this, Istina pulled Eve's hand.

"Eve, let's go help."

"Well, now that we've encountered it, we can't just leave it alone."

After all, the relationship between the vampires and the elves is good, and the elves value their people very much, so when she encounters an elf in trouble, she will naturally provide help.

But just as Eve was about to step forward and start a conversation, good news came from the front desk of the Adventurer's Guild.

"An A-rank solo adventurer has accepted your commission and is already on his way here via the teleportation array."

This is an information network between adventurer guilds. For such urgent commissions seeking rescue, they will directly send them to several adventurer guilds located in big cities. After all, there are many more powerful adventurers there than those in small places. If any of them choose to accept the commission, they can rush to the city where the task was submitted through the directional teleportation array in the guild.

As the receptionist finished speaking, a burly man came into the hall of the Adventurer's Guild from the teleportation room nearby.

The big man was wearing a light enchanted leather armor made of monster materials, with some traces of battle on it. This kind of armor has both defensive power and speed that will not be affected, which is a very good choice.

Before the physical defense reaches the outrageous level of Eve, a set of leather armor like this can greatly increase the adventurer's chances of survival.

Around his waist hung a multi-purpose belt, which contained many different potions and a small number of expensive disposable magic crystals, all of which were placed within easy reach. This was probably to prevent him from being unable to react in time when encountering emergencies. After all, as a lone traveler, he had basically no room for error due to the lack of teammates.

Generally speaking, unless one's popularity is extremely bad, most adventurers will always form a teammate. After all, going solo is like risking one's life, and basically no one would choose that.

Frowning, just as Eve was about to step forward to help the elf girl, the big man finally spoke after sizing her up for a while...

§ 24 Helping Hands [First Update]

"Are you the client?"

The big man's deep voice immediately made the originally noisy work hall quieter.

"Yes, it is!"

Although she was a little scared, the elf girl still mustered up the courage to answer his questions in order to save her companions.

"I'm Owens, an A-rank adventurer. Did you say the reward you're offering is your blood?"

After hearing the strong man introduce himself, the crowd, which had just quieted down a little, began to whisper again. The content was all about his deeds and rumors, such as how he defeated a group of monsters alone and cleared a monster gathering point single-handedly. It seemed that this guy was a very famous lone adventurer.

"Yes, I can offer my blood as a reward if you can rescue my companions."

"It's valuable, but not enough."

After hearing his words, the girl became even more anxious.

"How could that be! The blood of the elves is obviously of great value to the vampire race."

"This is an urgent matter, so I need to increase the price. I want you to provide me with blood continuously for a year."

"That's too much!"

Owens was completely indifferent to the elf girl's dissatisfied voice.

"The enemy is a powerful monster located in an underground cave. Considering the risk of collapse, no one here can securely take it down except me. Not to mention that you may need to protect your companions."

As he spoke, Owens glanced at the adventurer captains around him. When those people saw Owens's gaze sweeping over them, they chose to avoid his sight, which was considered as tacit agreement with his statement.

However, Eve's expression became a little strange after hearing his conditions. You said that this guy was taking advantage of the situation to rob, that's true, but the way he robbed was very subtle. Normally, most people's first reaction in this situation would be to rape her, but he chose to rob her of her money.

Moreover, his robbery was quite sustainable. The one-year blood supply contract could definitely earn him a good reward. Moreover, as long as he took more blood, it would not cause any harm to the elf girl's body. After rescuing others, he could also ask other elves in her team to help provide blood.

What is this? A woman only slows me down in drawing my sword? Is true love only about reward?

Of course, it was time to interrupt their bargaining, so Eve pulled Istina through the crowd in front of them and came to the two of them.

"I've accepted this commission. The reward is as originally agreed. Can we set off now?"

"Eh? Um, what level of adventurer are you? That monster is quite powerful."

Seeing the sudden appearance of the particularly petite Eve, the elf girl looked a little worried as expected, but before Eve could answer her question, Owens spoke.

"The powerful monsters underground can only be reliably dealt with by high-level adventurers. Are you also an A-level adventurer? I don't think there's anyone like you among A-level adventurers. If you're not strong enough, you'll be in danger too."

Eve couldn't help but feel even more strange when she heard the burly man's words, which were a bit of a warning. So, did this guy feel like one of those straight-laced guys? She could tell he meant well, but why did it feel so strange? He felt like he was picking on her. Could this be why he had no teammates?

After all, if a teammate talks like he's been taking bullets every day, few people can tolerate it for too long.

"I'm definitely not an A-rank adventurer."

"Then you still..."

Ignoring Owens, Eve continued talking to herself.

"But I'm an S-rank adventurer. This is my adventurer certificate. You can submit it to the guild for inspection if needed."

"..."

The guild fell silent when they saw the certificate in Eve's hand that said S-level adventurer. After all, there were only a few S-level adventurers in the entire vampire territory. Their appearance, characteristics, and abilities had long been circulated among adventurers. They were also the goal that all adventurers were striving for. But when did such an adventurer appear?

Every adventurer can be sure that there is definitely no little loli with black hair and red eyes among the current S-level adventurers.

However, compared to their confusion, Owens, who was closest to the certificate at this time, was staring closely at the name column on the certificate - Eve, who had the same name as the current vampire princess. If you ignore the coincidence of the same name, and combine it with the fact that the Adventurer's Guild is controlled by the state, then the identity of the person in front of him is already obvious.

However, since the other party had no intention of revealing his identity, Owens naturally would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to reveal this.

"Is that so? Then I'll leave this commission to you, young lady. I'll be leaving now."

As he spoke, Owens walked towards the teleportation area, and the people around him who were still in shock subconsciously made way for him.

Owens actually left without even checking the certificate in that little girl's hand?! There's definitely no such person among the current S-rank adventurers, or is that little girl actually one of those S-rank in disguise?

So which S-rank is she really? Blood Flower? Zang Yuan?

After guessing for a long time, no one could figure it out.

"Um, could you please let me check your credentials?"

Seeing Owens suddenly leave, the elf girl spoke to Eve cautiously.

After all, it concerns the life and death of her teammates, so she still has to check it carefully. After all, she can't believe that the little loli in front of her is so strong.

"Of course, take it."

As she spoke, Eve handed over the certificate in her hand for the other party to check.

After checking herself and asking the front desk to verify, the elf lady was finally sure of Eve's identity as an S-level adventurer. She then took Eve's hand and ran towards the city gate.

But it seemed that because she was injured, the elf girl stumbled and almost fell on the road not long after running out of the city. Fortunately, Eve grabbed her in time.

But as soon as they stood firm, the elf girl didn't even have time to rest and wanted to pull Eve forward again.

"Wait a moment."

Eve, feeling somewhat helpless, stopped her directly.

"We've already left the city and can fly there. Just give me directions. Your injury also needs to be taken care of."

As she spoke, Eve released the Tears of the Savior to her.

The effect was immediate. The scars on the elf girl's body were healed in an instant under the effect of magic, and even her almost exhausted physical strength and magic power were restored.

"Hey! Then, sir, please help me. The entrance to the cave is in the northeast. If you look up from the sky, you can see a clearing in the forest. That's the entrance."

Without caring about being surprised at the powerful effect of the recovery magic used by the other party, the elf girl quickly pointed out the direction for Eve.

"Okay, let's go."

As Eve spoke, she used her magic to lift up the elf lady's body and flew into the air with her. Istina and others followed closely behind her, and then everyone flew towards the entrance of the cave.

§ 25 In-depth [Second Update]

"Is that right there?"

In the air, Eve saw a clearing suddenly appear in the forest below. There were some tents and campfires at the entrance, which was quite conspicuous in the gradually darkening forest.

"Yes, sir, it's over there."

"Okay, you don't have to call me adult, just call me Eve. And I haven't even asked your name yet."

As she flew downwards, Eve said to the elf girl beside her.

"Hey, me? My name is Ruthna, Miss Eve."

"Ah."

Seeing that she insisted on adding some honorifics, Eve didn't argue with her anymore. After responding to Ruthna lightly, she continued to ask.

"So does Ruthina know where your teammates are trapped?"

"Well, that's a newly discovered passage, but it has collapsed due to the monster's attack."

"Ah, that's okay, as long as Ruthina can get us nearby."

Eve was not too worried about the collapse she mentioned. She just needed to melt the rocks blocking the road. If there was a second collapse after melting, she could just use magic to stop it.

"Then let's go. Lusina, please lead the way."

"Ah."

With that, Eve and her group followed Ruthina into the cave.

Due to the long-term exploration, the cave has many traces of artificial excavation and reinforcement as soon as you enter the cave. There are some simple braziers on the wall for lighting, and the fuel used is wood, which is locally available. There are also markings of various lines on the cave wall leading to the depths of various forks in the road, which are probably used to mark the direction.

"Miss Eve, please follow me."

After taking a quick look at the numerous forks in the road, Ruthina followed a red line and walked in.

After entering the fork in the road, the cave became noticeably darker, and the distance between the braziers became much larger. Seeing this, Eve raised her hand and summoned several balls of light above everyone's heads, illuminating the surroundings.

After walking along the red line for a while, Ruthina stopped at an inconspicuous fork in the road, and then led Eve and the others to a small cave about half a person's height.

"Miss Eve, this is it. This is the fork in the road our team accidentally discovered while resting. There was originally a small rock blocking the way ahead. If you go in from here and walk a few dozen meters inside, you will find a cave that leads to the area where the captain and the others are trapped. There is a very spacious cave over there. It was during our exploration there that we unexpectedly encountered the monster."

"Ha, why do we always have to drill holes today?"

Eve felt helpless looking at the small hole in front of her. She had just been to a Warcraft believer stronghold in the mountains that morning, but now she had to drill a hole again.

The fork in the road in front of them was also hidden very cleverly. It was clearly located inside one of the main tunnels that had been discovered, but it had been hidden for so long. To describe it, the fork was facing away from people when entering the cave, but when exiting, there were several protruding rocks that formed a natural camouflage. If you didn't get close, you wouldn't notice this small tunnel at all.

In addition, considering that Ruthina said that there was a small rock blocking this place before, it is not difficult to understand why this place has not been discovered.

"Okay, then I'll go first, Ruthina second, and Tina last."

As she spoke, Eve crouched down and entered the cave first.

The slope inside the tunnel is quite steep, and the overall direction is downward with a certain curvature. Fortunately, the height of the tunnel increases a lot as you go deeper into it. Eve, the most petite among them, soon doesn't have to walk with a hunched back, although she seems a little sad?

Just as Ruthina said, after walking a few dozen meters, Eve was the first to arrive at a large cave. Huge stone curtains and stalactites hung down from the top of the cave, and stalagmites, stone flowers, and stone terraces stood below. This scene looked particularly dreamy under the illumination of the light ball above Eve and the others' heads.

There are many small fish swimming around in the clear underground river in the cave, and no one knows what their food is.

But they didn't have time to appreciate the scenery. After looking around, Ruthina pointed in a direction above their heads, where there was a very obvious sign of fresh collapse.

"Over there, Miss Eve, I'll leave it to you."

"Ah."

Eve flew to the collapsed area with Ruthina. She did not act rashly but first roughly observed the collapsed point before making a decision.

Eve first used defensive magic to reinforce the surrounding cave walls to prevent a second collapse, and then used fire to burn a small hole in the pile of rocks blocking the road, enough for two people to walk side by side.

After completing this, Eve waited for a moment to make sure the place would not collapse again and then walked in.

After entering, there is also a large cave with many forks on the surrounding walls. There are many traces of battle on the ground. Some damaged equipment and coagulated bloodstains are clearly visible. It seems that this is the place where the battle took place before, but there is no trace of the monster that Ruthina mentioned.
