Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

The busty blonde girl laughed heartily, while Vanessa next to her had no idea how many thorns were in her heart.

Vanessa could pretend not to hear what the fat proprietress and the blonde with big breasts said before, but she really couldn't ignore the matter of "King Wester's illegitimate child" anymore.

However, as a lady of the Snow Deer family, Vanessa could not show her emotions in front of these vulgar people. She suppressed her inner hesitation and continued to listen.

Even when the fat proprietress later mentioned that Fei Ke was good at stealing and had a lot of magical equipment and magic tools that could disguise him as having high strength, she just nodded expressionlessly.

·

Just like that, after ten minutes of torture, the fat proprietress and the busty blonde woman finished telling everything they knew about "Fike".

Vanessa felt mixed emotions and didn't react for a moment, but the fat proprietress and the others had not forgotten their original "agreement".

"Well... Miss, if you are still satisfied, I wonder if what I just said still counts?"

The pot-bellied proprietress stared at the silver coins in Vanessa's hand with eyes that almost glowed green.

At this moment, Shirley stepped forward, blocking Vanessa's way. She stared murderously at the fat proprietress and the busty blonde woman and said, "Of course, your words count, but if there's any truth in what you just said, not only will you forget about getting these silver coins, but you'll also forget about continuing to live a 'free' life."

As she spoke, Shirley directly showed the silver badge hidden in her bag. It was the symbol of her being the chief court magician of the Kingdom of West.

"Listen carefully. I am the Chief Court Mage of the Kingdom of West, Ice Star Shirley. I have the authority to enforce the law on behalf of the royal family. If you are accused of using lies to defraud silver, you will be imprisoned for fraud, tried, and then sent to the warfront as slaves... Now, let me ask you again: was everything you just said true?"

Shirley's words were very powerful. After she finished speaking, the fat proprietress and the blonde with big breasts both turned pale and were too timid to answer.

"What's wrong? You were so talkative just now, why are you so silent now?"

Shirley looked at the fat proprietress and the busty blonde woman sternly, and her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through their hearts.

The fat proprietress and the blonde woman looked at each other, both hoping that the other could give some advice.

However, Shirley would not give them the opportunity to collude with each other. Seeing that both of them were very shaken, she immediately began to continue to put pressure on them.

"I'll count to ten. If you lied just now, there's still time to apologize to us. One...!"

Shirley began to count loudly. This sound was not only for counting, but also for disrupting the thinking of the fat proprietress and the busty blonde, making it impossible for them to continue making up lies on the spot.

Shirley believed that under the coercion and inducement of "threats" and "leniency", these two guys would soon lose their composure.

"five……!"

"six……!"

"Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Bing, please stop counting. I, I have something to say!"

Sure enough, when Shirley counted to "six", the fat proprietress couldn't help it anymore, and the big-breasted blonde girl next to her saw that the fat proprietress had let go, and immediately said that she also had something to say.

Shirley looked at Vanessa calmly, as if to say, "See, I'm still the best." However, Shirley was too happy too soon, because the following conversation did not go as she expected.

·

"Okay, if you have anything to say, both of you can tell me."

Shirley sat down on a nearby chair and crossed her legs, looking like she was interrogating a criminal.

The fat proprietress immediately humbly placed the silver coin she had just accepted on the table, and then said respectfully that she was blind and should not have accepted the silver coin from the two adults. Now she returned the silver coin and hoped that the two adults could spare her life.

Seeing this, the big-breasted blonde girl immediately followed suit and handed over the silver coins she had received.

Shirley didn't care about the two silver coins at all. What she wanted was to hear the two guys admit that they had lied just now, and confess why they lied and who instructed them to do so.

"Since you have handed over all the money you received, that means you lied just now, right?" Seeing that neither of them had any intention of admitting it, Shirley began to induce them to speak.

But what she didn't expect was that no matter how she tempted and threatened them, the two women stubbornly insisted that what they had just said was true and not a bit of fabrication.

"Sir Bing, that Fei Ke has come to our place at least fifty times, if not a hundred times. I have no grudge against him, so why should I wrongly accuse him?" The fat proprietress said this with a sincere face, without any sign of lying.

The busty blonde also said that although she had not been "working" in Bodel Town as long as the boss's wife, it had been more than two years.

During the two years, she had "served" Fei Ke several times. Even if she didn't see his face but only heard his voice or smelled his smell, she could recognize him.

After a back-and-forth questioning, the fat proprietress and the blonde woman always said the same thing, that is, they did not lie and there was no need to ask for it. As for the silver coins awarded by the eldest lady in the deerstan hat (Vanessa), they thought that the information they provided was not of that much value, so they did not dare to take it.

If the young man named "Fike" had offended the two adults, the fat proprietress and the blonde woman were willing to help as spies. As long as the young man appeared again, they would definitely find a way to keep him and then send someone to notify the two adults - if the two adults were still staying in Bodel Town at that time.

"Okay, we should stay here for a day or two before leaving."

Shirley answered casually, and then left this unlucky hotel with Vanessa with a complicated expression. As for the two silver coins given out, Shirley finally kept one for the fat proprietress and the blonde woman to share, as a way to bribe the two people's labor.

·

After that, Shirley and Vanessa were no longer in the mood to compare the remaining hotels one by one. They found a nearby hotel that was decent, booked the best room, and then prepared to go to the room to rest.

But just as Vanessa was about to pay, an old drunk sitting on the floor nearby said something worrying.

"You two little girls... you're really brave, haha... In this town of Bodel, bad things always happen at the end of every month... I advise you... not to spend the night here... hiccup..."

Hearing this, the innkeeper immediately came out from behind the counter and shouted at the old drunk to drive him out.

Then, the boss came to apologize to Shirley and Vanessa with a smile on his face, asking them not to take the drunkard's words to heart.

Shirley and Vanessa nodded. They really didn't care about what the old drunk said because they were still thinking about "Feke".

As soon as they entered the room, they closed the door and began to discuss things about Feke.

Shirley said that she still believed that the proprietress and the blonde woman were lying. All these things happened too coincidentally. As long as she brought Fike over to confront them, the truth would naturally come to light.

Vanessa agreed with Shirley in a daze, and didn't say much on the surface, but in her heart, a suspicion towards Lord Fig was gradually growing.

For Vanessa, she could turn a blind eye to other things. Even if Lord Fike really spent money on entertainment, she would not be unable to accept it. However, the only thing that Vanessa could not tolerate was the "illegitimate child of King West".

If Lord Fike really lied to Vanessa about this matter, then there is no doubt that the relationship between Vanessa and Fike will come to an end immediately.

·

Looking back on the whole process of her acquaintance with Lord Fig, Vanessa felt that Lord Fig had no chance or ability to deceive her, but also felt that some things happened just too coincidentally.

Moreover, due to the special nature of his identity as "King Wester's illegitimate son", Vanessa has never had the opportunity to verify the authenticity of Lord Fike's identity.

——(Should I… contact the organization to help investigate…)

Vanessa hesitated. When she arbitrarily chose Lord Feike as her Dragon Shadow, she had severed ties with the organization. Now if she shamelessly went back to ask the organization for help, even if Vanessa was thick-skinned enough, the organization would most likely not help her.

From now on, as long as Vanessa's doubts about Lord Fike's identity are not dispelled, she will not be able to serve Lord Fike wholeheartedly. In the worst case, if Fike lied with ulterior motives, Vanessa may even need to kill him to silence him.

·

Before I knew it, the night was already deep.

Vanessa was still worried, while Shirley, exhausted and weak, had fallen asleep.

Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Vanessa prayed silently in her heart.

——(God... I pray here...)

——(Please ensure that Master Fike's identity as the Dragon Shadow is genuine...)

——(No matter how many women Lord Fike has, no matter how many bad deeds he has done, I, Vanessa Snow Deer, am willing to accept them...)

But just as Vanessa was still praying, a horrifying scream suddenly came from outside the window, followed by an unnatural firelight that illuminated the dark street outside the window.

Sorry, the stupid author missed another birthday (July 7th) because he was sick, so I’m making up for it here!

I wish you all a smooth journey, a promising future, and may all your wishes come true with peace and joy!

9.25 - Monster Night Raid

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 8

〖0:12 am〗

[Confession death countdown remaining: 28 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

In the darkness of night, in a hotel in the border town of Bodel, Vanessa, who was praying, was suddenly startled awake by the fire outside the window.

More and more fire bombs were wreaking havoc in Podle Town like a meteor shower.

——(…on fire?)

Vanessa immediately leaned out of the window to check, and what she saw were balls of flying firebombs, burning houses, and people fleeing.

——(There is no magic circle, which means it wasn't caused by a magician's attack.)

——(The shapes of the fireballs are irregular, so they are more likely to come from monsters than magic equipment.)

——(Could it be that a monster attacked the town at night?)

Without thinking too much, Vanessa immediately returned to the house to wake up the sleeping Shirley. The severity of a monster attack could be serious or minor. Considering that Podell Town was so desolate and barren, even the town guards were probably useless.

Therefore, in the worst case scenario, it is not impossible that the town of Bodel will be massacred by monsters. What's worse is that Vanessa does not have the deer spirit by her side, and Shirley's body is still very weak. For the two of them, not to mention fighting the monsters head-on, even protecting themselves may become a problem.

Shirley was a little confused when she was woken up from her sleep at first, but she immediately woke up after listening to Vanessa's concise explanation.

"Let's retreat to the west. If I remember correctly, the stable should be in that direction." Shirley said as she quickly put on her clothes.

"Okay! I'm ready to go anytime!"

Vanessa quickly entered the state of escape, and when Shirley was ready, the two of them left the room together.

·

When they arrived at the hotel front desk, the boss who had received them at night had disappeared. Vanessa and Shirley remembered what the old drunk had said, and realized belatedly that the monster attack tonight might not be an accident, but some kind of "routine".

——"You two little girls... you are really brave... In this Bodel Town, bad things always happen at the end of every month... I advise you... not to spend the night here... hiccup..."

"That damn boss didn't remind us just to make money!"

Vanessa gritted her teeth and kicked the door as she ran out of the hotel. Shirley advised her to save her energy, as she would have plenty of room to exert her strength when they were traveling at night.

When they reached the street, Vanessa and Shirley found that the situation was slightly different from what they had imagined. Not all the people in the town had fled, but about half of the local residents were still holding on. It seemed that not all the residents of Podell Town were the fleeing faction.

Seeing this situation, Vanessa and Shirley had another choice besides running away, which was to stay and help the townspeople resist the invasion of monsters.

·

Vanessa had no fighting ability without the deer spirit and had no choice, but Shirley was different. After being away from the werewolf territory for a while, she was able to use magic. It was just that she had not had a good sleep, so her magic power was quite insufficient. In addition, her body was still very weak after being tortured by the werewolf blood witches, and her thigh that was pierced by Kenroshi Okami still made it difficult for her to run.

"Vanessa, I have an idea..."

Time was running out, so Shirley told Vanessa her plan straight away.

Shirley believes that although the current defense force of Bodel Town is weak, it is better than nothing, especially for a magician-based combat profession like Shirley. Having a "front row" to help resist monsters is two completely different concepts.

While Podell Town still has some strength to utilize, Shirley plans to go to the front battlefield where flames are rising to the sky to see the situation first. If there is a chance of winning, she plans to lend a helping hand to Podell Town. If the gap is too big, it shouldn't be too late to run away then.

As for Vanessa, Shirley didn't intend to drag her into the water, so she let Vanessa leave alone first.

"Lord Bingjixing, I, Vanessa, am not someone who would abandon my companions and run away."

Vanessa flatly rejected Shirley's proposal and made a more reasonable arrangement: she and Shirley would split up and act in two groups. She would first go to the stable alone to see if she could steal one or two horses, and then bring the horses to meet up with Shirley.

Shirley saw the determination in Vanessa's eyes, so she stopped trying to persuade her and instead told her to be flexible and that mutual trust was also an important part of cooperation.

Afterwards, Shirley dragged her half-crippled leg and walked alone to the eastern suburbs of the town where the battle was taking place. What caught her eyes were the fire monsters and combat professionals who were fighting fiercely.

·

The combat professionals fought hard under the leadership of the branch chief of the Podell Town Mission Union. Since they all had their backs to Shirley, Shirley could not see their situation clearly. On the other hand, Shirley could see the monsters very clearly.

The monsters that attacked Podell Town were not just a few scattered ones, but an entire tribe.

Leading the command was a third-level red-flame two-headed salamander. Its huge body was as tall as two stories when its head was raised, and it could easily overlook and grasp the situation on the entire battlefield.

Charging ahead of it were more than a dozen second-level giant flame salamanders and nearly a hundred first-level flame salamanders.

The first-level Flame Lizard is covered in fire and has a permanent skill called Flame Coat, which can continuously burn those who approach it.

The second-tier Flame Giant Lizard can not only use the Flame Coat skill but also shoot flame bombs. Its size and physical fitness are also stronger than the Flame Lizard.

The third-level Red Flame Two-Headed Salamander is famous for its third-level skill, Double Flame Jet. The huge amount of flame jet can burn a house to ashes in a few seconds.
