I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Chapter 46: Inès, you still say you are not a tsundere!

Inès' legs are different from W's legs.

Just as straight and slender, just as firm and powerful, but smoother and rounder.

If W is a round and smooth pearl, then Inès is a round and smooth jade.

......I can’t say anymore.

If you continue talking about this, you won’t be able to pass the review.

Viego "massaged" Ines's long white legs, but did not remove the fragment from her body.

"Why don't you take it away?" Ines asked Viego in the ward.

At this time, the blush on her face had faded a lot.

After all, I've been touching it for so long, it's impossible not to get used to it.

Inès would think that what the woman W said seemed to be right.

......You will feel uncomfortable at first, but you will feel more comfortable later.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't," Viego explained.

"According to my guess, if I don't have your full trust, then forcibly taking the fragment away will most likely cause harm to you. And now, although I can take it away, I can still feel some resistance."

"......" Ines was silent for a moment, then said: "This will take time. I can't convince myself to change immediately."

"I understand." Viego didn't have any special reaction, just raised his eyebrows. "Then I'll keep this fragment with Captain Ines for now, and I'll come back to get it when we meet next time."

Ines stared at Viego and nodded coldly: "...Then I will keep him for you for a while. You'd better not die before we meet next time."

"It's rare that Captain Ines is so frankly worried about me." Viego laughed: "But you'd better take good care of yourself. If you get seriously injured next time, there won't be anyone like me in the second team who can save you."

Inès snorted: "I don't care about you."

"Okay, okay, yes, yes." Viego's answer was a little perfunctory.

He really didn't care whether he could get the fragment in Inès' body or not.

Inès is different from W after all.

Perhaps it was because of something Ines had experienced in the past. Compared to W, Ines was obviously more sensitive and suspicious.

Her trust and her attitude change are not like W's, which can be changed or achieved at any time.

At most, she had let down her guard against Viego under W's provocation and personal risk, but she definitely did not trust him wholeheartedly.

It takes time for her defenses to open up.

Viego could sense that Inès had actually let go of most of her guard towards him, and there was almost no resistance to her obtaining the fragments.

But being close to nothing is still different from having nothing at all.

Ines' situation is different from W's. She is now seriously injured, and forcibly removing the fragments may cause some unpredictable serious consequences.

——What if Inès is squeezed into a mummy? It would be a pity to waste those long, round, smooth, and soft white legs.

In the original plot CG of the big event, after Viego forcibly took the Isolde fragment out of Senna's body, she looked extremely weak and couldn't even stand up.

With the previous experience as a lesson, Viego was even more reluctant to use force against Ines - although it might sound a bit strange to say this.

Since Viego already has a fragment and can absorb all the power of the Curse of Ruin from the fragment in Ines' body, there is no need to forcibly take another piece.

One should not be too greedy - besides, it is not that the fragment cannot be obtained, it just requires coming back for it after some time.

There is really no practical meaning in carrying one more piece of debris, except that it would bring more bad luck to oneself from that evil woman Isolde.

In that case, it doesn't matter whether I take it or not, so I just don't force the fragments out.

In addition, leaving the fragment on Ines and not taking it away would also make it easier for Viego to observe whether a new Curse of Ruin would be generated again after the power in the fragment was drained.

——You’ll know next time we meet.

To sum up, whether Viego gets the fragment or not, he will not lose out.

The power of the Curse of Ruin "absorbed" from Ines was more than enough to make up for the consumption in the previous battle with the Sarkaz girl, and even made Viego a little stronger.

"Viego, when are you planning to leave?" Ines suddenly asked.

"Well...if nothing unexpected happens, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Originally, I was planning to stay for a while longer, taking advantage of the time when Inès and W were recuperating to make myself stronger, and it would be best if I could drain all the blood before leaving.

As a result, W allowed Viego to get the first fragment in just one night, and then he provided a key assist, allowing Ines to put aside her doubts about him.

He would definitely be able to "squeeze out" the fragments in Ines' body today, so the original plan would naturally be brought forward and put on to tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After Inès is done, I'll go say hello to Hedley, and then we can basically leave.

"Have you decided where to go next?" Inès asked again.

"I don't have that. I asked Babel for a map. I plan to take a look at the surrounding area first and then decide on the next destination... Anyway, I'm just going to walk around and take a look. It's similar to traveling, right?"

"Traveling in Kazdel...ha, should I say you are very leisurely and elegant?" Ines looked cold, but suddenly her face turned red in the next moment and she glared at Viego.

"I told you, be gentle, and don't touch my feet! Did W ever tell you that your massage skills are terrible?"

"She said so, and I said I would find a massage parlor to practice my skills and then come back to massage her."

"Hmph... you wish for the best."

"Yeah, W said I was dreaming."

"A woman who says one thing and means another," Inès commented.

After this departure, the next time we meet may be a year, a half, or even several years later.

Humph... She didn't believe that W could really refuse Viego.

Ines could see clearly that the woman had obviously developed a strong curiosity and some budding inexplicable emotions towards Viego.

"Captain Ines, are you talking about yourself?" Viego raised his eyebrows, earning a glare in return.

"If you don't know how to speak, you can shut up, Viego."

“Then I really learned a lesson.”

"Hmph... Let's get back to the point. If you want to continue your activities in the area around Kazdel, you must be careful of Tracy's people."

Ines said seriously, "Even if you didn't stay at the Tower of Babel, the information about you must have been on his desk. You have to be careful that his people may think of you."

Viego was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of disgust appeared on his face: "Having an idea means...?"

"I mean, he might want to use your death to wash away the shame of his troops' defeat, or he might want to recruit you. In any case...Tracys's style of doing things can be described as overbearing, and he won't allow you to refuse."

"Then let him do it."

"Don't be careless, Viego. There are many ancient and mysterious forces active on the land of Kazdel, and many of them have chosen to fight for Tracys."

Ines turned her face away slightly, no longer looking at Viego, and said softly:

"...be careful."

Inès, you still say you are not a tsundere!



Chapter 47: What the hell, someone set me up?!

The next day, Viego, who had successfully drained the remaining fragment from Ines' body, received the supplies given to him by the Tower of Babel and set off to leave Rhodes Island.

Perhaps it was some special tacit understanding, Inès and W chose not to see him off, and Hedley had said goodbye yesterday and did not come to see him off either.

Viego didn't have any pretentious feelings of reluctance to leave.

As long as you are alive, we will see each other again.

It's not that easy for them to die, and it's not that easy for Viego to die either.

But what surprised him was that before he left, Kal'tsit actually found him and asked him to be more careful about an organization called "The Pardoner" around Kazdel.

"Nominally, that organization works for the entire Kazdel, that is, all the royal families. But now, most of its power has been controlled by Tracys... The Absolutioner is a very mysterious organization, and they may come to you."

Kelsey warned:

"Be careful, Viego. I will contact you as soon as I find any results on the research of the fragments."

Viego nodded, took note of Kal'tsit's warning, and left Rhodes Island.

Among the compensation materials given to him by the Tower of Babel, Viego only took a few so-called "red gold bars", a map and a compass with him. In addition, he also took an off-road vehicle and fuel.

——When Viego first learned that there were "cars" as a means of transportation in another world, he always felt a sense of disconnection and strangeness in his heart because the technological gap in the other world was too huge.

Other supplies such as weapons, armor, dry food and drinking water were of no significance to him, so Viego left them all to Hedley's mercenary group.

It is useless anyway, and the gold bars bought with so much money are a huge amount, and it is inconvenient to take them away, so it is better to leave them to Hedley in exchange for an "investment" friendship that helps in times of need.

With this help first, if you need it later...

Then it wouldn't be too difficult to make the mercenary group work for your own benefit.

Viego is not sure what he will do in the future, but it is always a good idea to make more friends and leave a way out for the future.

He has already stepped into the vortex of the other world, and as soon as he came here, he encountered troublesome things like the fight for the throne... Ines was right, even if he didn't join the Tower of Babel, the man named Theresis might not be kind enough to let him go.

After all, from all his deeds, it sounds like he is an out-and-out war-crazy tyrant, and this kind of person usually holds grudges and is very petty.

However, as long as he leaves Kazdel, it will not be so easy for the forces of this "King of Kazdel" to do anything to him.

Viego has already determined his next stop - the country called Dayan.

Kal'tsit told me that there is a city-state called "Longmen" in Yan Country, which can be regarded as the most prosperous and diverse city in this land, and it has the potential to become a future commercial capital.

The "Longmen Coin", the currency with the highest universal acceptance among most forces and internationally, is issued by this city.

He is now not too far from the city. It will take about two or three months to drive there.

Viego was driving across the wilderness, his eyes sweeping over the "communicator" that Kal'tsit gave him.

From his modern perspective, this thing is actually very similar to the PHS commonly seen in Hong Kong dramas, but it is a heavy industrial style PHS with a stronger mechanical feel.

In this world, long-distance communication seems to be a very luxurious thing.

I've only seen Inès and the others communicating using radio before, and I don't know how this thing works... I've never seen anything like a signal base station in the wild in the other world.

So how does this thing transmit signals?

This strange and déjà vu feeling of the other world, with its futuristic and medieval styles, is a sense of separation and transcendence... Viego always feels that it will take him a long time to adapt.

In Viego's vision, a flash of blue suddenly appeared in the vast wilderness, interrupting his thoughts.

Was that a person... lying on the ground? There seemed to be a lot of metal fragments and debris scattered around him.

Out of curiosity of wanting to see everything in the other world, and with strong self-confidence that he would not die easily, Viego parked the car not far from the fallen figure.

Are you kidding? As a hardcore player of open-world RPGs such as Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, how could he miss such a random side plot that couldn't be more obvious?

Viego turned off the engine and got out of the car. He walked to the side of the blue-haired figure, squatted down, and raised his eyebrows: Oh, this is the right time. There is actually a piece of Isolder in the body...

After the power of the Curse of Ruin grew stronger, Viego's perception of the fragments became clearer. Although he could not reach the continental-level perception of the original King of Ruin, he could still sense the existence of the fragments when they were just one step away.

I just don’t know whether I’m dead or alive?

If he is dead, I can just see if the fragments can be taken out directly from the dead body. If he is not dead, it doesn't matter. If he has ill intentions towards me, I can try to forcefully take out the fragments and see what will happen. If he has no ill intentions...

If she had no ill intentions, I would have sucked up the fragments and let her go. I saved her life, so it shouldn't be too much to ask for some reward, right?

Anyway, we have to see whether he is dead or alive first...

Viego reached out and pressed his fingers on the neck of the blue-haired girl in front of him.

After a moment, he sighed regretfully.

Still alive... What a pity.
