Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Mrs. Theresa's gaze towards the young man became sharper, and she glanced at Vanessa beside her, with a hint of blame in her eyes.

"I wonder why you want to do this, Mr. Fick?" asked Mrs. Theresa.

The raising of this question made the atmosphere in the garden suddenly become a little tense.

Vanessa was sitting on pins and needles, not daring to look at her mother or Lord Fig.

In Vanessa's plan, the purpose of Lord Fike's trip should be revealed after meeting the Snow Deer Lord, but he did not expect to be stopped by his mother on the way.

However, the fact that he "told the truth to his mother" made Vanessa give Lord Fige extra points in her heart. Because strategy is strategy and sincerity is sincerity. Vanessa chose Lord Fige to be her Dragon Shadow, partly because she believed that Lord Fige would become a benevolent and wise monarch in the future.

So, next, Vanessa believed that Lord Fige would also take his mother seriously.

Then, as Vanessa expected, Lord Fike answered "truthfully".

"Because I want to go to the territory of the werewolf royal family to rescue someone, but my personal ability is limited, so I can only come to the Snow Deer family for help." Lord Fei Ke said sincerely.

This also means that what Lord Feike is going to say next will shock everyone present even more.

·

Mrs. Theresa had many questions to ask at this time, such as why Fike looked for the Snow Deer family instead of others, and what was the relationship between his wanting to save people and the Snow Deer family, etc.

But the last question she asked was: "Who are you going to save?"

The reason why Lady Theresa chose this question was because she did not care whether Fike could accomplish this task, nor could she decide whether the Snow Deer family would send troops. What she really cared about and could find out here was: "What kind of person is Fike?"

Once she knew who Fike was working so hard for, Mrs. Theresa would be able to understand his true nature.

However, Mrs. Theresa never expected that the young man would say another name that surprised her.

"You might also know the person I want to save. Her name is Shirley, and she's the chief court magician of the Kingdom of West."

·

If Jiang Ran's previous words "Request the Snow Deer Lord to send troops to attack the Werewolf Royal Family" were a bolt of thunder that struck the garden, then his current sentence "The person to be rescued is Shirley" was a thunderstorm that almost destroyed the entire garden.

The attendants and servants around were unable to hold back this time, and the plates and dishes fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Mrs. Theresa also scored twice, allowing the cakes on the ground to fly away in pairs, and they were no longer lonely.

All this is because after the "Werewolf Royal Family" that cannot be mentioned, Fike said another name that cannot be mentioned: "Ice Star Shirley".

It is no exaggeration to say that if Fike was not the guest brought back by Vanessa, and if Mrs. Theresa was not Vanessa's mother, Fike would have been expelled on the spot.

Mrs. Theresa no longer concealed her emotions. She held her forehead, closed her eyes and relaxed for a while before looking at Fike again.

"How did Ice Star Shirley get captured by the werewolf royal family? What is your relationship with her and why did you go to save her?" Lady Theresa asked tiredly.

At this time, Fike first looked at Vanessa, and then told her the whole story.

·

Fike told Mrs. Theresa what happened in the town of Driss. He said that in order to save herself, Vanessa and others, Ice Star Shirley was taken away by the werewolf royal family.

Now, in order to rescue Ice Star Shirley, he knew that the possibility of successful persuasion was slim, but he still came to Baigu City with Vanessa.

After hearing this explanation, Mrs. Theresa was a little speechless.

Admittedly, saving a life is indeed a great favor, but is it really worth it for this young man to go to such lengths?

And in the final analysis, the boy's life was in danger, which was more or less related to his previous actions with Ice Star Shirley and Vanessa... To be selfish, he was just implicated.

In Mrs. Theresa's opinion, there was really no need for Fike to go to this extent.

——(Vanessa, why did you bring such a silly boy back?)

Mrs. Theresa looked at Vanessa with a sad look, and Vanessa gave her a wry smile in return.

Now, Mrs. Theresa basically understood what kind of person this Fike was.

——(He’s not a talented person, but he’s not a dangerous person either. He’s just a straightforward and foolish boy… Vanessa, how come your vision is worse than my mother’s?)

Mrs. Theresa gave Vanessa a meaningful look, but she didn't know whether her daughter, whom she had high hopes for, could understand it.

As for this kid Fike, Lady Theresa was not going to spend any more time on him. She would just let him go to the Snow Deer Lord to face his own setbacks. Young people can only grow up after being beaten by the real society.

So, the following conversation returned to a light-hearted topic. Amidst all the chatting and laughing, Vanessa received a notice from the butler that Lord Snow Deer was finally free to meet her and Lord Fike.

Before leaving, Mrs. Theresa gave Fike a piece of advice.

"Young man, be prepared. Lord Snow Deer won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

And Fike bowed respectfully to Lady Theresa.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mrs. Theresa."

8.166 - Negotiations begin

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 8

〖3:16 pm〗

[Confession death countdown remaining: 20 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Under the guidance of the chief steward, Jiang Ran followed Vanessa to the main building where the Snow Deer Lord was.

Along the way, the butler looked back several times, as if he wanted to say something to Vanessa, but he did not speak because Jiang Ran was present.

Although the butler didn't say it out loud, Jiang Ran could see clearly what he was thinking.

Jiang Ran saw that the butler disliked him very much and was worried that Vanessa had been deceived by him.

In this regard, Jiang Ran really wanted to tell him, "Yes, that's right, Vanessa, the second lady of your Snow Deer family, was indeed deceived by me."

It’s a pity that he probably won’t have the chance to tell the truth.

·

After walking for a while on a winding road, Jiang Ran and Vanessa arrived at the main building of the Snow Deer Family Manor.

Vanessa was so nervous that her face turned pale at this time. Her mental state was not strong enough to face her father as if nothing had happened - especially when she knew what Lord Fike was about to say to her father.

Her Lord Fei Ke remained calm and even had a hint of anticipation.

This was Jiang Ran's first opportunity to directly negotiate with a great lord-level figure in the Prison Star World. This was of great help to him in understanding the power structure of the Prison Star World, no, at least the power structure of the Kingdom of West.

·

Since arriving in Baigu City, Jiang Ran's identification ability has basically never been idle.

The guards of Baigu City are about level 35 of the second stage. The average level of the Baigu City Cavalry Regiment that they encountered by chance was no more than level 50 of the second stage, and only the captain level could reach the third stage.

After arriving at the Snow Deer family's manor, the defensive strength was slightly improved, but overall it was only at the early stage of the third level, level 50 to 60. The team leader was slightly stronger, reaching level 80 to 90 of the third level.

Up to this point, the defensive forces of the Snow Deer Family have not posed any pressure to Jiang Ran. As a veteran, he can at least come and go freely, not to mention that he can fight against the Snow Deer Family alone.

Later, he unexpectedly met Mrs. Theresa and her group, and Jiang Ran was fortunate to obtain new information.

Madam Theresa herself has no combat ability, but the guards around her are all at level 90 or of the third order, and the accompanying butler is at level of the third order, which is the maximum level. In the Kingdom of West, they are actually very good guards.

The butler who was now leading Jiang Ran and Vanessa up the stairs also had a combat professional level of level 90 on the third stage. It seemed that combat ability was not the core requirement of the Snow Deer family for butlers. Jiang Ran became more convinced of this guess after seeing the Snow Deer Lord himself.

·

·

"The Lord is waiting for you two inside."

The butler first knocked on the door, then pushed it open and stood by, watching Jiang Ran and Vanessa enter the big room.

Jiang Ran walked in without hesitation, and Vanessa followed carefully behind.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Ran was attracted by the wolf heads embedded in the wall and the wolf skins spread on the floor. If this was not the traditional decorative style of the Snow Deer family, then it was enough to explain what kind of person the contemporary Snow Deer Lord was.

Jiang Ran thought about it briefly. From the time he entered the manor until now, this was indeed the first time he saw decorative elements related to "wolves". This probably meant that the layout of the lord's room was the idea of ​​the contemporary Snow Deer Lord.

The lord's room was very large and extremely long. After Jiang Ran and the others entered the room, they could only see a spacious desk at the deepest part, with a figure sitting behind the desk.

The afternoon sun shone into the room through the window behind the desk, making it even harder for Jiang Ran and the others to see the figure's appearance due to the backlight.

However, although they couldn't see his appearance clearly, both Jiang Ran and Vanessa knew that this person was the head of the Snow Deer family, the current Snow Deer Lord, Helun Snow Deer.

·

Jiang Ran walked forward with his head held high. He was now the character of "Feike", and doing things in a high-profile manner was Feike's style.

Seeing this, Vanessa was forced to follow and walk forward quickly until Lord Fig stopped two or three meters away from his desk.

"Thank you, Lord, for taking the time to meet me. I'm Fike from Sunny Town. It's an honor to meet you, Lord."

Jiang Ran saluted with neither arrogance nor servility, then faced the dazzling sunlight and looked straight at the seated Snow Deer Lord.

Vanessa, who was standing by, also quickly greeted her father.

"My Lord, Father, I am Vanessa, I am back."

A simple greeting revealed a complicated message.

The title "Lord" comes before "Father", and the sentence "I am Vanessa" reveals that Vanessa is worried that her father has forgotten what she looks like.

"Haha, both of you sit down, let's sit down and talk."

Facing his biological daughter whom he had not seen for ten years, Lord Snow Deer, who was sitting behind the desk, had no intention of standing up. He just gestured to the two of them to sit down, then snapped his fingers and asked the servants to bring tea and cakes.

After sitting down, Jiang Ran was finally able to see the appearance of the Snow Deer Lord and identify his information. What he saw was quite different from what he expected.

First of all, the Snow Deer Lord Helun Snow Deer does not look very old. His extremely standard "Snow Deer family-style white hair and green eyes" make him exude a "transcendent feeling" that is like he is not of this world.

Then, based on this temperament, his elegant and refined dress and the monocles on his ears and nose make him look even more gentle and refined.

However, these were just disguises on his appearance. Jiang Ran saw through his identification ability that he was a 45-year-old middle-aged man, and a fourth-order 140-level "Deer Soul User".

As a lord with such strength, it is no wonder that the garrison guards are not too strong. However, even at the level of 140th stage , it is still far from enough if compared with the werewolf royal family.

Jiang Ran immediately began to guess that there should be someone else in the Snow Deer family who is responsible for the battle. The lord himself only needs to be able to protect himself and does not need to have too strong combat ability.

·

While the servants served tea and pastries, the Snow Deer Lord Heron had a brief conversation with Feke and Vanessa, learning about Feke's name and identity, as well as Vanessa's life in the Green Lizard family.

Strangely, he neither asked why Vanessa suddenly came back, nor asked about the purpose of Fei Ke's trip to Baigu City, as if he was waiting for them to speak themselves.

Fei Ke looked at the Snow Deer Lord and thought for a few seconds, then took the initiative to tell the Snow Deer Lord that he had asked Vanessa to introduce him to him because he wanted to ask the Snow Deer Lord for help with something.

The Snow Deer Lord smiled slightly, appearing very kind on the surface, but what he was thinking in his heart was, I finally waited for you to say this.

"No problem, we can discuss any needs. The Snow Deer family has always been very open."

The Snow Deer Lord leaned back as he spoke, then placed his hands in front of him with his fingers crossed.

"But before I hear your request, Mr. Fick, could you please do me a small favor?"

As Lord Snow Deer spoke, he looked at the map hanging on the wall. His eyes fell on a place called "Tels Village".

8.167 - The Time Has Come

Snow Deer Lord Helun is a calculating man, and he usually won't do anything that has no profit value.

At this moment, facing this young man who came from nowhere, Lord Snow Deer was thinking that no matter what the purpose of this kid coming to Baigu City was, he had to take advantage of his situation of "needing something from him" and exploit his value.

The first thing that Lord Snow Deer thought of that could make use of this kid was the incident reported by the patrol team some time ago that "Dels Village is being invaded by third-level monsters."

Dels Village has always been an insignificant village to the Snow Deer family.

This village has a small population and no economic value. It is a wilderness village formed by refugees gathering together.

When the patrol team brought back the news that a third-level monster had appeared in the "Dels Village", the Snow Deer Lord was worried about the "Mad King Agreement" and was stretched thin in the deployment of military forces, so he put the matter of this broken village aside for the time being.

Now it just happened that he could take advantage of the young man and test his strength at the same time.

·

"If there's anything I can do for you, it would be my pleasure."

Just as the Snow Deer Lord expected, the young man Fike stepped into his trap without any preparation.

Next, it was time for him to teach this young man who was inexperienced in the world.

"That's wonderful, Mr. Fike... To be honest, there's a place called 'Ters Village' in my territory that's being attacked by monsters. I wonder if you could go and subdue them?"

The Snow Deer Lord smiled kindly. His move could be said to kill two birds with one stone. Whether the young man agreed or not, it would be beneficial to him.
