My family has two sheep, one on the second day and one on the first day.

Now I only have time to write for a while in the early morning

I apologize to everyone again and sincerely thank you for your understanding and support.

Take care, everyone.

6.78 - Vanessa's Hidden Identity

Vanessa's suspicion was not without reason.

Her inference was based on several facts that she had witnessed with her own eyes.

First of all, when they first met, Feke showed his disdain for the Snow Deer family. To be honest, in the Kingdom of West, there are really only a few idiots who don’t know the five major families.

In other words, Vanessa thought that Fig was deliberately ignoring her, not that he really didn't know how powerful the five major families were.

So, why would a commoner dare to ignore the five major families?

Vanessa thought about it and there was only one possibility, that is, Feke was not actually a commoner, but a noble who hid his identity.

There are two supporting points for this inference. One is that Branch Chief Pame would rather offend Vanessa than talk to Fike first. The other is that Captain Pride actually rejected Vanessa's face for Fike, and Captain Pride seems to have been Fike's attendant for a long time.

Whether it is Branch Chief Pame or Captain Pride, they are people of a certain status compared to civilians, and they are also people with knowledge and experience.

They couldn't have been fooled by Fei Ke, so they could only say that Fei Ke must have a status above that of a commoner.

However, in the Kingdom of West, the five major families are basically on equal footing, and no family dares to ignore other families.

If Fei Ke was not from one of the five major families, but was a noble, then there was only one possibility left: Fei Ke was from the royal family.

Speaking of the royal family, Vanessa has met several of the current princes, but this Fike is not among the princes she has met.

If it were someone else, their thoughts might have stopped here, but Vanessa is different from ordinary people. In addition to being the second daughter of the Snow Deer family, she also has a special identity: she is a reserve member of a certain organization.

[The above picture is from '6.52 - People on a Moonlit Night']

In the Kingdom of Wester, the dragon represents the royal family, and the so-called dragon shadow refers to the dragon that cannot be seen in public for the time being - that is, the king's illegitimate son.

Because of the complicated power struggle, the king had some children who could not be granted status.

The identities of these illegitimate children usually cannot be revealed. Once exposed, most of them will be assassinated.

Considering that there might be talented people among the illegitimate children, King Damodardas III of the Kingdom of Wester established an organization specifically to protect these "Dragon Shadows", that is, the illegitimate children.

When the illegitimate children grow up, the king will evaluate their abilities. If they are capable, he will find a way to restore the royal status of the mother and son or mother and daughter. Those who are mediocre will disappear from the world one night.

Vanessa belongs to this organization, and she has not yet been assigned to the dragon shadow that she is responsible for protecting.

If a Dragon Shadow who could achieve something in the future was assigned to her, Vanessa would also be able to rise to prominence. But if the Dragon Shadow was a mediocre person and was disposed of, there would be no other harm to her except the loss of time.

Since Vanessa has knowledge in this area, she naturally made such a guess.

After having this thought, Vanessa fell into it and thought that this must be the truth of the matter.

—(I wonder if Fike, Dragon Shadow, has assigned his Guardians yet… If not…)

Vanessa became excited when she thought that her chance had come.

If Fike was not an enemy, then Vanessa would have greatly admired his strength and talent.

Vanessa quickly made a decision. Tomorrow, she would go and find out the truth about this "Fike".

On the streets of Driss Town at night, Jiang Ran and Heloise had just finished dinner and were walking back to the hotel.

Jiang Ran deliberately took a long detour with only one purpose, which was to lure out the "Heavenly Ghost".

At this time, there are less than twenty hours left before Jiang Ran's death in the "future death scene".

Jiang Ran believed that there was a high probability that Tiangui or Tiangui's killer would come here in advance to "scout the area."

The reason why Jiang Ran made such a judgment was because the way Tian Gui killed him was too "perfect".

It is unlikely that someone who pays so much attention to details would act without any preparation on the day of the assassination.

Since the earth ghost can control snakes, the sky ghost can probably control flying birds, bats or insects.

As night fell, most birds returned to their nests to rest due to night blindness. Jiang Ran easily found an unusual brown forest owl in the night sky.

Then, Jiang Ran deliberately took Heloise in and out of several buildings, and then found that the brown forest owl was still staring at him not far away.

At this point, Jiang Ran was basically certain that the Sky Ghost could control birds to monitor him.

After knowing the enemy's search method, the next step is counter-reconnaissance operations.

Jiang Ran continued to take Heloise around, looking at all the buildings in Dris Town, and found a place that was very suitable for tomorrow's battle.

Will the result be smooth? Jiang Ran was not sure.

However, he has a way to verify in advance whether his strategy is effective.

He had reserved these "reserve points" for a long time, which he could have obtained but deliberately did not take.

"Heloise, do you have a nickname?"

Back at the hotel, while checking her back, Fike suddenly asked Heloise.

"Nickname? I do have one... Is the Good God's messenger seeking the hidden name of the Evil Tiger King God's apostle?"

Heloise was quite surprised. Fike rarely asked about her on his own initiative. This made Heloise wonder if her feminine charm had finally begun to show after living together for a few days.

"Yes, can you tell me?" asked Fike.

——(What? So direct?)

Heloise was even more surprised, as Feike had never expressed his interest in her so obviously.

"Hmm... This is a bit awkward... How should I put it..."

Heloise poked her two index fingers at each other, feeling a little shy.

Heloise did have a nickname, but she had only ever told it to her "family" in the Tiger People.

If she told Feike now, it would mean that she also recognized Feike as a family member - and this also meant that she and Feike were husband and wife!

To others, this idea might seem strange, but to Heloise, who believed that just holding hands while sleeping would lead to pregnancy, it was not surprising at all.

"If you can't tell me, don't force me. I'm just asking casually."

Hearing what Fike said, Heloise suddenly became anxious.

If I miss this opportunity, I will have to tell Fei Ke my nickname myself in the future, which is not romantic at all!

In Heloise's view, things like telling a woman her nickname must be asked by the man!

"No, I won't force it!"

Heloise nervously argued her position, and then, in order to make things clear, Heloise asked Fike a question first.

"Messenger of the Good God, Fike, knowing the hidden name of the Apostle of the Evil Tiger King God means you will stay with her for the rest of your life and never betray her. Even so, are you willing to listen to her reveal her hidden name?"

Happy birthday to LightGP!

I'm sorry I can only celebrate you in such a simple way.

The latest situation in my family today is that there are three sheep. The author is the last pillar of support.

Continuity is the author's final bottom line!

Hope everything gets better soon!

6.79 - The Next Death

Jiang Ran really admires Heloise.

Originally, he just wanted to ask for a nickname to get closer to her, but after a few minutes, he inexplicably entered the "proposal" stage.

What's even more amazing is that Heloise unconsciously turned her originally passive situation into an active one, and now it seemed that Jiang Ran was "proposing" to her.

However, for Jiang Ran, this is still within the controllable range.

"So that's it."

Jiang Ran nodded, then asked Heloise a question in return.

"Would Heloise like to know my nickname?"

"Of course I am willing."

Heloise, who had let down her guard, agreed without even thinking. By the time she realized what was happening, it was already too late.

"Heloise, my nickname is Xiaoke, remember?"

"Xiao Ke? That's such a cute nickname, hahahaha."

Heloise laughed for a long moment before she realized something was wrong.

Since Fei Ke has already told her his nickname, out of courtesy, she should also tell Fei Ke her nickname.

Doesn't that mean...

At once……

"Okay, go to bed quickly. We have important things to do tomorrow."

What was even more cunning was that Fike ended the topic at this moment, and now it was Heloise's turn to be anxious.

"Fike! You haven't even asked what my nickname is!"

"I asked you from the beginning, but you didn't tell me."

After hearing what Fike said, Heloise felt that it seemed to be true.

After being tricked by Fike, Heloise accidentally revealed her nickname.

"Of course I didn't tell you! My nickname is Hai Luoluo!"

Jiang Ran really didn't expect that he would gain confession points by exchanging nicknames.

——『The confession from Heloise has been confirmed. Energy point +1. Current energy point: 1』

The ethnic culture of the Tiger People is truly unique.

After saying her nickname, Heloise looked away shyly.

If Jiang Ran couldn't read minds, he would never understand why Heloise was so innocent.

"Hai Luoluo, compared to my nickname, yours is cuter."

Jiang Ran called out Heloise's nickname very lightly, and after hearing her nickname from the person she liked, Heloise's face turned red from her cheeks to her ears, and her head was about to smoke!

In order to escape from this uneasy state, Heloise rolled onto the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt like a "caterpillar", with only her head sticking out.

"I want you to take care of it!"

After saying that, Heloise snorted and turned her head to the other side.

From then on, in Heloise's eyes, Fike was equivalent to her husband.

However, the opportunity to break this window paper will not come until a long time later.

After Heloise fell asleep, Jiang Ran also lay down.
