I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"What? You sound very experienced."

Mitis said angrily.

"And even if it's just storybooks, I've already accumulated enough for several Ella."

The lifespan of a vampire is simply incomparable to that of a human, and judging by the ages of Ella and Mitis, this is true.

"So forget about the storybooks. I don't want to be dangled in the air by Mitis anymore. After all, holding hands is inevitable, so it's better to get used to it sooner rather than later. Waiting until you actually meet someone you like before trying again will be too late, won't it? Mitis wants me to be more proactive, right?"

To be precise, it should not be said that she is proactive, but that she can handle various situations smoothly and give people a sense of experience. However, speaking too specifically may hurt Mitis's self-esteem, so Ella can only use euphemisms.

"Hmm... indeed, there's... there's nothing else we can do."

Seeing Ella reaching out her hand, Mitis hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand hesitantly, looking as if she was testing the water temperature, giving off a very cautious vibe.

“Ouch!”

The moment her fingertips touched Ella's palm, Mitis retracted her hand reflexively.

"G-Granted, let it go. I'm so embarrassed."

Ella was speechless. Although Mitis's timid look was very novel now - she didn't look as cool as a vampire at all, but instead looked very much like a normal human girl - but if she continued to be so shy, it would never end. Ella sighed, took a step forward, and grabbed Mitis's hand while she was still mumbling something with her head down.

"Is this okay?"

To be honest, although I haven't reached the level of being as shy as Mitis, I am also very embarrassed. If it were my old self, I would never do such a bold thing. Even if I wanted to let the topic remain awkward, I would not take the initiative to shake Mitis's hand. But now is not the same as before. Due to the influence of Iris's long-term teasing, my sense of shame has been reduced. In addition, I am anxious about Mitis's hesitation, so I have to suppress my shyness and take the initiative to shake Mitis's hand.

The delicate, soft and cool touch instantly spreads across the palm of your hand.

Like a startled kitten, Mitis's whole body shuddered and she subconsciously wanted to retract her hand.

"what?"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm actually embarrassed too."

Ella turned her head away, not wanting Mitis to see her face—which was probably already a little red.

"What the hell..."

"What? I'm trying my best to help you..."

There was a noticeable pulling sensation in her hand, and Mitis wanted to pull her hand back, but perhaps because she was worried about hurting Ella, she didn't use much force and failed to break free.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Once you're ready, hurry up and find Kuryuu and the others. If you're too late, Lotte and Nanako will worry."

Shaking hands a little harder, Ella urged Mitis, whose brain was almost shut down, but it was obvious that Mitis did not listen and was still immersed in his own world.

Ella could only sigh deeply and wait for Mitis to come back to her senses. After about five minutes, Mitis slowly raised her head. Although the blush on her face still remained, her tone had returned to normal.

"Hmph... Hmph, if that's the case, then there's nothing we can do. Ella, just accept it with gratitude."

"Yes, yes."

Ella shook her free hands and dealt with it casually. After taking off, Ella discovered that the principle of Mitis's flying was completely different from that of Camisia's flying. In the end, she ended up being hung in the air. That's the story that follows.

Chapter 29 The Beginning of the Story

*创世纪6187年6月24日 晚20:21分 黑龙山脉

A small team was walking in a valley covered with thick plants. From the team's composition and equipment, it was easy to tell that they were not scouts or commandos belonging to a certain country, but a very common team of adventurers.

The team consists of four people: two vanguards armed with huge weapons, a scout carrying a bow, pickaxe, ropes and other complex props, and the remaining one is a magic caster holding a staff. Apart from the lack of recovery-type professions, this team has no shortcomings. Considering the fact that most adventurer teams do not have magic casters and healers, this team is already a pretty good type.

The man who was walking in front and looked like the captain turned around.

"Hey, follow closely, don't get discovered."

"Got it, Boss. This is the last vote. No need to be so nervous, right?"

The scout with a stern face and unshaven beard laughed in an indecent manner.

"You can't say that. It's the last vote, so I have to be extra careful. I don't want to be eaten by the black dragon."

Thinking of the enormous size of the dragons, the thin magic caster shuddered all over.

The scout continued to laugh at the magic caster's words.

"Haha, being eaten is already a good outcome. If I were to be torn apart by dragon claws one by one and then healed with healing magic, that would be really painful."

"Don't make such a cheap joke. That's something only a silver dragon skilled in magic can do. Our mission now is to lay the foundation for the next sneak attack."

The captain, carrying a heavy sword, frowned and turned his gaze to the magic caster behind him.

"Have you taken the things given to you?"

"Of course, don't worry, boss."

"Um."

The captain nodded.

As for the "things" he mentioned, they were magic scrolls given by their employer, an alliance of high-level adventurers, known to the outside world as poachers. Of course, there were more than one of these magic scrolls. According to their types, they were scrolls for concealing auras, scrolls for confirming identities, and scrolls for earth magic.

According to the task assigned to them by the Poachers' Alliance, they need to explore the recent movements of the Black Dragon outside the barrier of the Black Dragon Mountains, and deliver the earth magic scrolls and magic potions on the scouts to the designated location.

As for why they did this, although their superiors did not tell them, through observation over the past few days, they also knew that it was to allow the Poachers Alliance to use scrolls and magic potions to create tunnels, and then use the tunnels to sneak into the Black Dragon Mountains, waiting for an opportunity to steal precious materials and dragon eggs.

Since black dragons would fly over the Black Dragon Mountains from time to time, this could be considered a stealthy job, and could only be undertaken by a small-scale adventuring team like theirs.

The scout touched the brand on his chest that had strange patterns engraved on it.

"Damn it, this thing is a curse."

"I think you should stop talking. The boss's expression is scary."

The scout paused at his companion's reminder and touched his nose awkwardly.

"Those people are just going too far. I understand their concern about us leaking the information, but carving something like this on our bodies is just too much. We might even lose our lives."

"Weren't you the one who agreed to join them in the first place? Now you're complaining about all this and regretting it? In that case, I'll do it for you, and your bounty will be mine."

"Uh... Boss, I was just kidding."

The scout shrank his neck in embarrassment. The bounty offered by the Poachers' Alliance was enough for him to live for decades without having to work. He certainly wouldn't give up such a good thing. There was no doubt that a job that paid a hundred gold coins was not available anywhere.

Moreover, compared to the usual fights with monsters, a task like this, which was just to investigate the movements of the black dragon and deliver things to others, was incredibly easy. In the eyes of the adventurers who participated in this task, they must have suffered enough in their previous life that they were favored by the One and Only God in this life.

Not only that, what is valuable is that this mission does not have any psychological burden. Compared with dirty work like killing people, the fact that the target is the black dragon makes them full of self-esteem and pride. Like most people, they classify dragons as monsters, and monsters and humans have a parallel relationship. Fighting each other is common sense. The Poachers Alliance belongs to the side of justice, and everyone involved in the mission has this idea.

The group continued to remain silent, cutting through the branches blocking their way while moving forward. After a while, another warrior who was responsible for covering their retreat spoke.

"Tawo, are you leaving after this job?"

Hearing someone calling his name, the captain named Tavo stopped and turned around.

"Hmm? Ah, yes, this bounty is more than enough. I don't want to live this life of going hungry any more."

"Is that so... I should probably get some better equipment. I really want to become a Mithril-ranked adventurer like you."

"Haha, if you like it, I can give you this one for half price, twenty gold coins."

"The boss is so stingy that he still wants to collect money at this time."

The unshaven scout interrupted.

Tavo knocked the scout's head in amusement.

"If you're not stingy, why don't you give me twenty gold coins? That's nearly two years' earnings."

"Well... just let me go. I didn't say anything."

The scout smiled and shrank his neck, but the next second, as if he had discovered something, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he made a gesture to keep quiet.

The originally scattered team instantly gathered together. The magic caster tore open the scroll of concealment in his pocket, while the warrior lowered his body and kept a vigilant eye on the surroundings. It was obvious that they were a well-coordinated team.

A moment later, there was an unnatural sound of flapping wings overhead, and everyone subconsciously raised their heads - a small figure passed through the air. Although it was dark and they couldn't see it very clearly, they could still tell that the other party had devilish bat wings. Not only that, the group could also see that the person was carrying another humanoid object.

vampire.

These words emerged in the minds of the four people.

Due to the obstruction of the woods, the group quickly lost sight of their target. However, judging from the sound, the other party should have landed in the bushes ahead. Perhaps because of the Concealment Scroll, they failed to detect their group.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the captain, Tavo. Although they were adventurers, a menial profession that they would do as long as there was money to be made, behind the money came their pride as human beings. Especially when facing a foreign race, the indignation of being a member of the same race would become unprecedentedly strong.

The inquiring gaze from his companion made Tavo frown and think for a moment.

"Go and take a look. Whether I can help or not is another matter."

No one refused, and the four of them quietly approached the bushes ahead.

Chapter 30: The Passion of Tavor

Trying to make as little noise as possible, the four adventurers lowered their bodies and quietly approached the vampires and the humans captured by the vampires under the cover of night and bushes.

In terms of the combat effectiveness of this team, except for the captain Tavo who has a strength of level 11, the rest of the people have levels of less than double digits, so they must make choices carefully. Once they find that the strength of the vampire is far beyond their own, escaping immediately is almost the top priority.

With a scout on guard in the front and two warriors protecting the magic caster in the back, the group stopped at the scout's gesture.

Tavor looked at the scout, waiting for an explanation.

The answer was two consecutive gestures. Tavo, who had worked with them for a long time, knew that this meant that the other party was two women.

The male magic caster spoke in an inaudible voice.

"Two women? Are they companions? If it's a vampire and her followers..."

If so, then the group should change route and bypass them. Not to mention that the purpose of rescuing their fellow tribesmen has been lost, first of all, it is irrational to act rashly without knowing the other party's strength. Although the strength gap between vampires is huge, even young vampires are equal to human adults in strength. What's more, there is a person here who may be a dependent. If the other party has the ability to fly, once discovered, even escape will be difficult.

The scout quickly lowered his hand, signaling the magic caster to shut up, then pulled out a sweat-stained gold coin from his pocket and waved it.

Tavo frowned.

"This is……?"

Of course, Tavo knew the meaning of this gesture, which only their team knew - it symbolized getting rich - the reason he asked was just because he was confused about the scout's judgment. If Tavo remembered correctly, the scout should have meant that the other party was a very valuable woman and asked him to wait a little longer.

Except for Tavo, the other two adventurers had expressions of surprise on their faces. Of course they were willing to do any job that could make money. It would be more accurate to say that they came here just for the money.

Taking in his companions' performance, the scout nodded with satisfaction and held up five fingers.

"Can it be sold for fifty gold coins?"

The scout shook his head.

The male magic caster asked, barely able to suppress the surprise in his words.

"Could it be five hundred gold coins!?"

The answer is yes.

"You're kidding! I can actually sell it for 500 gold coins!"

The magic caster took a step forward, pushed aside the scout, quietly parted the bushes, and then froze in place.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Her pretty face was more beautiful than all the adventurers and prostitutes he had ever seen. He was even sure that there would not be such a woman even in the brothels in the imperial capital.

Not only that, the clothes are also exquisite and impeccable. The combination without any sense of incongruity is as if it is innate, and there is nothing eye-catching. This is true for the vampire with pink hair and the human with golden twintails. In the past, this magic caster always believed that vampires were monsters with sharp claws and thick hair who liked to eat humans alive, but now it seems that this is not the case. Vampires are much more beautiful than humans. In front of her, humans are simply inferior species that have reached a point of no return on the road of evolution.

As if to etch this image firmly in his mind, the magic caster stared intently at the two talking girls, but was soon pulled back by his companions.

A feeling of anger instantly flooded my brain.

“What are you doing—Ugh!”

The scout reached out and covered the magic caster's mouth in time, and made a gesture to silence him. In an instant, the magic caster realized his current purpose and lowered his head heavily.

Tavor patted the magic caster's shoulder.

"What did you see? Can they really sell it for that much money?"

"...Boss, take a look yourself."

Following the magic caster's example, Tavo also gently parted the bushes. Soon, he was also stunned in the same place as the magic caster, but he was not as unbearable as the magic caster. Tavo quickly retracted his head with an expression as if facing a great enemy.

He waved his hand quickly, telling his companion to leave quickly, but his companion just tilted his head in confusion.

"Boss, what's wrong?"
