Succubus cannot be a saint

And this incident happened before I crossed over, which means... when I crossed over, I fell directly and unknowingly into the arrangement of this "mastermind".

The more Sallelei thought about it, the heavier her heart sank. "Where's the letter?"

"I burned it." Granny murmured softly, not daring to look into Salares' eyes. "I can't keep that letter. But... I still remember the contents, word for word. It said..." She paused, lowered her head a little, and then spoke:

"'They'... are the organization behind the person who wrote to me... They aim to overthrow the so-called Seven Righteous Gods and the tyrannical rule of the current nations, revive the ancient faith, and allow those gods, forgotten in darkness and buried in history, to see the light of day again... They also said they would support us mountain folk in replacing Derek in control of Moon Spring Town and reviving the faith in the Antler Goddess..."

After listening to this, Sharlene was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

...The real intention of this letter was to instigate the mountain people to rebel in Yuequan Town and rule the town in place of Derek.

But how could the mountain folk rebel and rule Moon Springs? With just this minority of only a few hundred people, including the elderly, children, women, and the elderly? Even if the mountain folk could kill Derek with a surprise attack, what would that do? Greystone would soon realize Derek was in trouble. Could the mountain folk stand up to the Voros of Greystone?

But the next moment, Granny, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head slightly, but she turned her head away, not daring to look into Sharlelei's eyes, and her voice was trembling.

"Besides that... there's a small bottle of potion in the envelope. The letter says, 'This will bring you closer to your God'... I've been keeping this bottle, but Nanned has also read the letter and knows about the bottle..."

Upon hearing these words, Shailelei's pupils shrank instantly.

"A little closer to your God"? Could this potion be the cause of Nannide's transformation into a werewolf?

If that mysterious organization had the ability to transform people into werewolves, then the mountain people's rebellion would indeed have a chance of success. This also showed that this organization had some understanding of the Deer Horned Goddess.

Furthermore, they also said, "Overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Seven Righteous Gods and the nations of today, and let the gods forgotten in darkness see the light of day again"...

This isn't just a clear-cut rebellion preview; the point is "bringing the forgotten gods back to light." In other words, their true target is the antler goddess behind the mountain people.

After all, the mountain people are too few in number and too weak in strength, so even if they rebel, they may not be of any use.

But what if the targets of this mysterious organization's incitement of rebellion are not only the mountain people and Yuequan Town?

This incident happened three months ago, which means that by now, this organization has already started to stir up trouble. Besides the mountain people and the Deer Horn Goddess, who else are their targets? What is happening in the world outside of Yuequan Town right now?

The thought of this made Shalelei want to rush out of Yuequan Town to see what was happening in the western part of the kingdom. Yuequan Town was too remote and isolated, and it could not receive any news from other places in the western part.

Even if she wanted to send out spies now, she didn't have enough manpower and time.

Suddenly, Sharlelei suddenly remembered that when she was hiding in the laboratory last night, although she did not see it with her own eyes, she did hear the whole process of Nannide's transformation.

Nanned transformed after arriving in the yard. If that's the case, then he most likely drank the potion in the yard...

Thinking of this, Sharlele suddenly stood up and walked to the door of the room and called the guard loudly, which scared Granny so much that she quickly picked up the blanket and covered her head.

Soon, a militiaman came quickly at the call of Sharlelei, "Lady Saint, what are your instructions?"

"Take your men and carefully check the yard." Sharlelei recalled the location of Nannide and the mountain people last night. "Focus on the location I mentioned. Don't miss anything, and pay special attention to whether there are any medicine bottles or glass fragments on the ground."

After the guards left, Sharlele returned to Granny.

"Sister Granny, we are in trouble... No, you can't say that." Sharlelei took a deep breath and got down to business. She instantly exited the "master" mode and turned back into the saint who ruled the entire town.

"If we consider the worst-case scenario, we might not be the only ones in trouble..."

Granny: “…Huh?”

..............................

Half an hour later, in Sharlelei's study.

Two wooden planks had been placed at the doorway, replacing the ones Nannide had broken the previous night. Sallelei stood in front of the desk, and in front of her were the succubus nuns.

Not only was Ophelin forcibly dragged away from her work, but even Durenna was urgently recalled from the west side of town. Granny felt rather uneasy standing among these succubus nuns.

Especially since these beautiful and charming succubi had teased me... and touched me last night.

At that moment, she even caught a glimpse of two of the succubus nuns standing hand in hand, their black heart-shaped tails under their skirts tightly entwined. Their faces were flushed, their collars were slightly open, and there were many red marks on their snow-white necks. They looked as delicate as if they had just "recovered from fatigue"...

As if they had noticed Granny's gaze, the two succubus nuns winked at their new sister and smiled meaningfully. Granny shuddered, her light brown cheeks immediately flushed, and she turned her head away hurriedly.

On the other side stood Durenna, a female knight wearing armor and carrying a sword, her chain mail gleaming, her figure graceful and elegant, her gaze full of vigor and spirit, she looked heroic and dashing.

This female knight... couldn't she be a succubus? It was hard to imagine this heroic swordsman being that kind of monster... Granny looked at Durenna nervously, while the female knight turned around, glanced at the succubus horns on Granny's head, and smiled at her.

Granny was momentarily startled, then shyly smiled back. But the next second, the knight's smile gradually became more alluring, her azure eyes tinged with a hint of devilish crimson, and a pair of pointed horns sprouted from her head...

In a flash, the female knight who was as sharp as a sword turned into a charming succubus in front of Granny, which scared the brown-skinned priestess. She turned around with a red face and tried her best to suppress her pounding heart.

Surprisingly...even this knight lady is a succubus...

"Okay, everyone, I have something to announce." Sharlene coughed lightly, and the eyes of the succubi were all focused on her.

Salares paused for a moment, her eyes becoming sharper as she scanned the faces of the succubi one by one.

"Simply put, there's an organization trying to start a rebellion within the kingdom. Nanned's transformation into a werewolf is related to them."

As soon as these words were spoken, exclamations were heard in the room.

"Lady Saint, what does rebellion mean? What exactly happened? What about Field Territory... How is Field Territory doing? My parents—"

Opheline took a step forward, her eagerness evident in her words. After all, her parents were still in Field County.

"Please be patient, my Sister-in-Law..." Salle glanced at the anxious Granny and shook her head. "Sister Granny, please explain the matter of the letter to everyone."

Granny nodded nervously, turned around, and faced this group of incredibly beautiful succubus nuns. She was momentarily lost in thought. The beauty of each succubus here far exceeded her imagination. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would never have believed that these succubus were once ordinary people like her.

"But now I am one of them..."

Somehow, even in such a serious occasion, a strange bubble suddenly spread in Granny's heart and quietly burst.

At this moment, after witnessing the blessings of the goddess received by Sharlele and Isadore, and feeling the breath of the Antlered Goddess for the first time in more than 30 years of her life, her resistance to succubus is gradually disappearing.

Becoming a succubus didn't necessarily mean she'd completely fallen into demonic possession. The fact that the head nun still cared about her parents was proof that she still had some humanity.

It seems that, just as Sharlele said, becoming a succubus seems... to have no harm?

Beauty, power, the gods' gifts, the blessings of abundance—all of these things were already within her grasp. Furthermore, there was also a bright future under the guidance of the "Saint Lady"...

"Aunt Granny?" Isadore couldn't help but ask, seeing Granny remain silent for a long time, a strange blush appearing on her healthy, attractive light brown cheeks. Granny finally woke up from her dream, coughed awkwardly, and stammered out the story of the letter and the medicine bottle.

After listening to Granny's story, the succubus nuns couldn't help but look at each other.

"Overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Seven Gods and the nations of today"? "Restore the gods forgotten in darkness to the light of day"?

This is definitely the rhetoric used by cult groups when they launch a rebellion!

"So, Uncle Nannide...wasn't he cursed and turned into a monster?" Finally, Isadore was the first to speak. The little succubus's red eyes were filled with anger. She waved her fists angrily, "So there are bad guys causing trouble! We must teach them a lesson!"

"Little Isadore, wait a moment..." Durenna raised her hand to interrupt Isadore, looked at Salare, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Lady Saint, are you saying... that this mysterious organization isn't just in Yuequan Town? It's very likely... that it has already extended its reach to other parts of the kingdom?"

------

It’s still two updates combined into one, 4k words. Happy New Year everyone!

Volume 1: From Crazy Daughter to Saint: Chapter 88: Changes in the Western Territory

"Yes. While it's a bit premature to draw such a conclusion, I doubt this letter is a random, isolated incident. Everyone has seen the changes in Nanned. That 'organization' is likely already igniting fires everywhere. In the worst-case scenario, war is already raging in the Western Territory. It's just that Yuequan Town is so remote and isolated that the flames of war haven't reached us yet."

Sharlelei nodded and turned to look at Ophelin. "Sister Ophelin, is there any news from Graystone Town?"

"...nothing happened." Ophelin whispered, her face pale and her voice trembling involuntarily, "nothing unusual..."

"I understand. We currently can't send spies elsewhere. Sister Ophelin, why don't you send the succubus nuns to gather intelligence on Greystone Town?" Shalelei pondered. "Besides that, we also need to do something else here... Miss Durenna."

"I'm here, Lady Saint." The Succubus Knight took a step forward and punched her chest with her right fist.

"I will give you the catapult magic crossbow I made recently. You will lead the succubi to bless the guards and form a crossbow team as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Durenna's face was filled with joy, and even her voice rose two degrees.

Sharlelei wanted to ask about the progress of the craftsmen who had obtained the monster tendons, but when she remembered that she had not appointed a chief craftsman, she sighed and assigned this task to the already extremely busy Ophelin.

"In short, no matter what the situation outside the town is, we must continue to do what we need to do. For now, the priority is to build a crossbow team to strengthen the defense force, and the rest of us will continue to complete our previous tasks."

As she spoke, Sharlelei turned to look at Granny. The succubus priestess, caught in her gaze, suddenly became nervous.

"Next, we need to deal with the affairs of the mountain people."

........................

That afternoon, under the tense gaze of the villagers, a group of militiamen arrived at the center of the settlement and quickly erected a wooden platform. Soon, under the command of a messenger, the villagers gathered in front of the platform, anxiously awaiting their arrival.

Soon, Sharlelei appeared on the platform, and beside her stood Granny. Seeing the high priest, the agitation among the mountain folk subsided slightly. However, some people couldn't help but wonder:

"The high priest... seems to have become different?"

Although Granny has learned how to hide her succubus features, she still cannot conceal the glow on her face and her now exceptionally beautiful and charming appearance.

But no one would have thought that their high priest had become a monster.

However, when Sharlelei spoke, the mountain people's attention immediately shifted to her.

"Fellow citizens of the Antlered Goddess, I'm here today to make an announcement," Sharlelei said calmly, secretly resolving to get a loudspeaker. "Previously, I invited High Priestess Granny and the mountain hunters, led by Nanned, to study the Warcraft remains. I'm sure everyone is aware of this."

When these words were spoken, the mountain people looked confused.

……"invite"?

They knew that Granny had followed Sallelei back to the lord's mansion, and some people also knew about Nannide's night raid on the lord's mansion.

But now, how come the Saint Lady said that she was the one who took the initiative to invite us?

"But last night, an unfortunate accident occurred. Among the 'demon carcasses', one was still alive. Fortunately, the mountain warriors worked together and killed the monster. Although no one was killed, Mr. Nannide was seriously injured and is now recuperating in the lord's mansion."

Upon hearing this, the villagers were in an uproar. Aside from the hunters who had participated in the night raid, no one knew that the howl that had echoed throughout the town the previous night had been from Nannide. Therefore, after Sharlelei announced her "official explanation," the villagers gasped but offered no further questions.

But even so, there were still many confused eyes falling on Granny. After all, compared to Sharlele, the mountain people now trusted their high priest more.

But they didn't know that this highly respected high priest had already become Salares's man... Oh no, a she-wolf... Oh no, a succubus.

"Everything the Saint said is true... Last night, thanks to Nanned's bloody battle, we were able to prevent the monster from wreaking havoc. Everyone, rest assured. Although Nanned was injured, he is no longer in danger of death after being treated by the Saint."

Although they still didn't understand why the "night attack" by Nannide and others became an "active invitation" in the mouth of the saint, the mountain people still breathed a sigh of relief when even their own high priest said so.

Granny turned to look at Sharlele, who nodded. She took a step forward, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly: "—People of the Antlered Goddess, please listen to me!"

As soon as Granny finished speaking, the audience fell silent. Dark-skinned faces looked up at her, quietly waiting for her next words.

"Just yesterday, the Saint revealed something crucial to us: the Antlered Goddess hasn't left us! She continues to watch over us to this day!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the mountain folk erupted in an uproar. Countless voices, some confused, some excited, some bewildered, rang out, and Granny had to shout even louder, "My compatriots, if you can't believe this, please take a look at this!"

As she spoke, Sharlelei waved her hand at the right time, and several militiamen lifted up a large wooden board. Nailed on the board was the skeleton of a monster with sharp horns.

Seeing the white skeleton, the mountain people suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at it with fear. Some even knelt down and began to mutter prayers to the Deer Horned Goddess, asking for her forgiveness.

"Please look at this skeleton!" Granny shouted sharply. "My compatriots, you are hunters who are familiar with the habits of wild beasts. Look at the joints of this monster! Look at the position of these horns! With horns like these, can this monster still run?"

The audience was dead silent until Granny mercilessly called out a hunter's name. The mountain hunter then sank to his knees and replied tremblingly, "It...it shouldn't be able to run..."

"That's right!" Granny flicked her sleeves and slammed the Soul Staff down on the ground. "My compatriots, we've been wrong all along! It wasn't the Antlered Goddess who created these monsters! In fact, it was the evil power deep in the Black Forest that created the monsters. It's the Goddess's power that's been weakening, blocking these monsters and protecting us!"

The villagers stared at each other, and for a moment no one dared to speak. This was truly horrifying, completely overturning their decades of understanding.

The Warcraft was not a punishment from the Antlered Goddess. Instead, the Goddess was protecting her people in another way. This kind of thing... even if it came from the mouth of the high priest, it was hard to believe.

Seeing the villagers hesitate, Granny decided to add fuel to the fire. She stepped forward again and asked, "Do you all remember... that time when we buried monster horns in the fields and it caused weeds to grow wildly?"

Hearing this, the villagers immediately began to feel uneasy again. After all, this incident was the trigger for the Saint Lady to take the high priest away.

"The Antler Goddess will bless us with countless prey and endless wheat to harvest." Granny sighed softly and said softly, "Now her blessing has been bestowed upon us. My fellow countrymen, why don't you think about what would happen if we buried our horns in the soil sown with wheat instead of in the harvested fields?"

The whole audience was silent.

Many of the mountain folk present had seen the unusual sight of wild weeds growing wildly. Although the dense weeds were terrifying, what if they were replaced with wheat?

Suddenly, an old man kneeling on the ground burst into a hoarse cry, raised his arms high, and fell to the ground towards the skeleton.

"The Horned Goddess... the goddess's blessing! The high priest is right, that horn, that horn is the goddess's blessing...!"

The old man's desperate shouts echoed in the air. Then, a second man raised his arms, then a third, a fourth... Finally, the cheers and shouts of the mountain people combined into a tsunami-like sound wave, and even the wooden platform began to shake slightly.

Looking at the mountain people in the audience with tears in their eyes, Granny turned around and saw the smiling face of Charlene.

------

I need to ask for leave tomorrow using a leave application, so that I can free up some time to write some mysterious little documents… There will be another update in the evening!

Volume 1: From Crazy Daughter to Saint: Chapter 8|9: Anger and Hatred

Then, Sharlele came to Granny and announced the follow-up arrangements for various matters.

First of all, she will not hold the mountain people accountable for secretly storing monster horns, and the policy of encouraging mountain people to trade with the people of the kingdom will remain valid. The market will continue to be held and subsidies will be distributed as usual.
