Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

For Vanessa, identity recognition is more important than emotional identification.

Because Vanessa, who has never been in love, doesn't know what it feels like to "really like someone". Compared to the ambiguous feeling of love, she believes more in tangible things like status.

Although Vanessa has not given up on the path of "self-reliance" for the time being, for her, who has always been cautious, choosing Feike as the "Dragon Shadow" is already the craziest gamble in her life.

Soon, Fei Ke finished reading the entire content of the agreement.

Seeing him pondering and not speaking yet, Vanessa became a little nervous.

In the agreement, in addition to some regular format clauses, Vanessa mainly wrote three privileges for herself.

First of all, the right to be exempt from death. As long as the agreement is signed, no matter what changes happen to Fike's identity, he cannot do anything that will threaten Vanessa's life in any form.

The second priority is to serve as the princess and queen. Vanessa can accept a marriage without love and only in formality, but the position of the first lady must be hers.

Finally, there is military power. Vanessa can legally own her own exclusive troops, and this troop has the right to refuse orders from anyone other than Vanessa, including Fike.

To be honest, even if Vanessa herself were Dragon Shadow, she would not be willing to sign these three privileges.

The reason why she wrote so outrageous was because of the bargaining mentality when buying and selling things. She first set the price above her psychological price so that there would be room for further negotiation.

Moreover, this is also a test of Vanessa on Fig.

If Fei Ke gets furious in the face of such an excessive request, it means that this Long Ying is just that capable.

If Fei Ke disappoints Vanessa, she will admit that she has made a mistake, then give up decisively and look for another wise leader.

·

As a result, Feke's answer left Vanessa dumbfounded.

"That's fine, no problem. Do you want to make a formal copy for your signature, or just sign this one?"

"Eh?"

A few minutes later, Feke's answer made Vanessa think she had misheard.

"Uh, Lord Fike, don't you... have anything to modify?" Vanessa even took the initiative to ask about what needed to be modified.

"Huh? No, do you have anything else to modify?" But Fei Ke still looked as if he had no opinion.

This time it was Vanessa's turn to be confused. Why didn't Fike play by the rules?

As the Dragon Shadow and one of the potential future kings, how could he sign such an overbearing and disadvantageous agreement with others?

If Vanessa herself had not been the drafter and beneficiary of this agreement, she would have wanted to fight the other party for three hundred rounds on Fike's behalf!

"Uh... well... I... I don't have anything to change..."

Vanessa didn't know what to say. She wouldn't cut into her own interests.

Then, in a daze, Vanessa and Fike began to sign the agreement and put their fingerprints on it.

Looking at the black and white words and the bright red handprints that had already become a fait accompli, Vanessa was now confused. This Fei Ke...was he smart or stupid?

——(I…did I find a stupid Dragon Shadow?)

7.04 - Eloquent (Second Update)

"Then our trial period partnership is officially established, Ms. Vanessa."

Fike stretched out his hand to Vanessa. Vanessa hesitated for two seconds before holding Fike's hand.

"Well... Lord Fike, let's work together."

Vanessa originally thought that the "probationary period" was completely unnecessary, but now, she began to think that this "probationary period" was a good thing.

If this Fei Ke is really a hopeless case, then she can at least give up the cooperation after the probation period, so as not to tie her life to him.

However, after holding Fig's hand, Vanessa somewhat dispelled some of her doubts about Fig.

In Vanessa's previous impression, Fike should be the kind of pretty boy with delicate skin and tender flesh, but when Vanessa touched his hand, she mistakenly thought she was holding a stone.

Fike's hands were not only rough, but also very strong, which was not the kind of hands a pretty boy could have.

It is no exaggeration to say that Vanessa felt that Fig's hands were even more tempered than Captain Pride of the Cavalry.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

"Ah, no...no."

Vanessa silently put away her signed agreement and felt more confident in Fike.

·

Now that the agreement has been reached, Vanessa immediately discusses the next plan with Fig.

The first thing she needed to understand was Feke's background, which would be of great help in formulating her assistance strategy.

"Um, Lord Fike, the security of intelligence cannot be neglected..."

Vanessa signaled to Fig with her eyes: Heloise was still in the room.

Fike said it didn't matter and told Vanessa directly that Heloise was one of them.

——(One of our own…?)

——(Okay… If that’s what you’re saying, then I can’t help it…)

--(but……)

——(Aaaaah… I really want to know what the relationship between Heloise and Fike is!)

Vanessa pretended to be calm on the surface, but she was going crazy inside.

She really wanted to know what happened between Fike and Heloise, and she almost bit her nails to know!

For Vanessa, Pride is still acceptable, but this Heloise might turn into a big problem!

However, Vanessa didn't want to lose her identity in front of Fike, so she finally decided to find an opportunity to meet Heloise privately to find out her background and purpose.

"Then Lord Fike, please begin. I am ready to record."

Vanessa took out a pen and paper. She was extremely serious about assisting Long Ying.

·

Fike told Heloise that he didn't know who his biological mother was and that he had been living in a church since he was old enough to understand.

The church adopted many orphans, and Fike was one of them.

The only thing that could prove Fike's identity was a ruby ​​necklace.

Then one day, the royal family found the church and established contact with little Fike through the clergy.

Later on, people began to come regularly to teach Xiao Feike, and Xiao Feike gradually learned about his identity as "Dragon Shadow" and the existence of the "Hidden Dragon" organization.

Fike's first partner was a man who always wore a mask. He taught Fike many things, including life, knowledge, fighting and so on.

"Unfortunately, until he died, I still didn't know his name, nor did I ever see his true face beneath the mask."

Vanessa was deeply moved after hearing about Fike's experience.

The fate of most of those who serve Dragon Shadow is the same as that of the masked man that Fike mentioned.

Servant of the Dragon Shadow

Living with shadows

When you die, your shadow is your coffin

Everything about them can only be silent.

However, Vanessa will not let herself become one of them. She will definitely achieve a brilliant life by serving Long Ying!

·

"So...your ruby ​​necklace, where is it now...?"

"I hid."

Vanessa was very satisfied with Fike's answer.

If Fei Ke innocently took out the ruby ​​necklace and gave it to her at this time, then this "Dragon Shadow" would really be hopeless.

"Very good, what are your plans next?"

When it comes to plans, Fei Ke did not hold back and said it all directly.

In the long run, in order to gain the recognition of King West, Fike must continuously enhance his strength in both "personal ability" and "personal influence". In the near future, his primary goal is to challenge the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair" and achieve results.

"In that case...you must fight for the captain's position?" Vanessa asked hesitantly.

"I won't compete with Weipu Bilishi for the captaincy. My principle is not to make unnecessary enemies."

"So you mean to compete for the captaincy in the second round?"

Fike glanced at Vanessa, and this sharp look made Vanessa feel as if she was seen through.

"Vanessa, if you want the honor of being captain, then you can compete for the captaincy in the second round."

As a result, Vanessa's thoughts were really seen through.

Vanessa really couldn't believe it. Could it be that Fei had the ability to read minds?

"Eh... t-this isn't good, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Since we're all in the same boat, it doesn't matter who becomes captain... If you have trouble challenging the champion, I can let Pride take the title first, and then deliberately lose to you."

Fike's words really touched Vanessa's heart.

She now felt guilty for having thought that Fei Ke was a fool... Lord Fei Ke was definitely the dragon shadow most worthy of following!

In this way, Vanessa and Fige formulated a short-term strategy and left the hotel first.

Next, they will try to reduce their meetings as much as possible to avoid others discovering their relationship.

·

"Messenger of the Good God... I never expected the vortex of fate surrounding your life to be so profound..."

After Vanessa left, Heloise looked at Fig with a somewhat confused look. She was not very good at thinking about such complicated things.

"Really? I'm used to it."

Fei Ke smiled and made it look like a piece of cake.

Jiang Ran was somewhat surprised at how things had turned out.

However, even though he had told a lie that was almost impossible to cover up, Jiang Ran didn't think it would be a big problem.

Next, he would even let Pride know his identity as the illegitimate son of King Wester, thus formally establishing his identity in this new small group.

Jiang Ran has a heretical theory: as long as a lie is not exposed, then the lie is the truth.

Moreover, since Vanessa, Heloise and Pride all believed in him, even if there were any mistakes, they would take the initiative to help him solve the problems.

All Jiang Ran needs to do is to make good use of his mind-reading skills and continue to perform the tightrope walking on the cliff.

As for how this "drama of lies" should end, Jiang Ran already had an idea in his mind.

In this Prison Star world where strength is respected, as long as he is strong enough, what identity can he not become?

"Hai Luoluo, get ready. Let's go talk to Ice Star Shirley."

The old crisis has passed, and Jiang Ran is about to start taking action for the new goals of the next stage.

7.05 - Shirley's Past

Different from his previous mentality after seeing the "future death scene", Jiang Ran gave up the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair" this time and had no intention of taking the risk again.

The reason is not complicated. It is simply because Jiang Ran has no reason to challenge the "Green Ghost Lair".

In addition, there are two other "facts that cannot be ignored" that also influenced Jiang Ran's decision.

The first "fact" is that in the "future death scene", whether it is the giant crown goblin that tore Jiang Ran apart with its own hands, or the other two goblins standing behind it, they have no obvious injuries on their bodies and look very relaxed.

This means that in this "future battle", Jiang Ran's team was unilaterally slaughtered, and the gap in strength was extremely huge.

The second "fact" is that Jiang Ran was not the only one killed, but also Heloise, Vanessa and Pride. In fact, they all died before Jiang Ran.

Even if Jiang Ran had a way to significantly improve his strength in the remaining twelve days, he would not be able to make Heloise and the others grow as quickly as him.
