Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

·

There are many things that are difficult to decide and judge, but one thing is certain, that is, the Fike brought by Vanessa offended the Snow Deer family.

When the entire werewolf royal family incident was over, the Snow Deer family special forces finally realized that they had come all the way here just to be used as pawns by Fike.

Although what Fike said at the beginning, "The werewolf royal family is preparing a huge conspiracy to deal with the Snow Deer family," is indeed true, but it is obvious that Fike's real purpose is to let the Snow Deer family's special forces help him cover the operation to rescue Ice Star Shirley.

As for this matter, Fei Ke didn't even say hello.

Under this feeling of "being calculated", the Snow Deer Clan would naturally attribute the heavy loss of two elders to the name of the young man Fei Ke, or in other words, at least Fei Ke and the werewolf royal family would each bear half.

Then, Vanessa, who introduced Feke into the Snow Deer family, certainly cannot escape responsibility.

·

On the way back to Baigu City, although Elder Le Xian and others did not directly blame Vanessa, Vanessa, who knew people's hearts well, how could she not understand everyone's thoughts.

She knew very well that after returning to Baigu City and after Elder Le Xian reported everything to the family management, Vanessa would definitely be punished.

If Vanessa had always believed in Lord Fige, she would have accepted this punishment. After all, in her plan, helping Lord Fige ascend the throne was her real goal. But now, Vanessa hesitated.

The "negative news about Lord Fike" that she heard in Bodel Town a few days ago, although it is still difficult to tell whether it is true or false, really shook Vanessa's heart.

Vanessa didn't care what scandals that Ryuchi had spread about Lord Fike, but she found it hard to believe that the fact that he was the "illegitimate child of King West" was just a coincidence.

——(Oh…what should I do…)

Vanessa looked at the endless sky and felt so small and helpless.

What she was afraid of now was not Lord Feike or Longying, but that Lord Feike had deceived her.

If all she got in return for her sincerity was Lord Fike's exploitation, then no matter how capable Fike was, Vanessa would not serve him.

·

The sun sets in the west and the sun and moon alternate.

Whether it is trouble or happiness, the flow of time cannot be changed by human will.

Just as night fell, the Snow Deer Family Special Forces arrived at a small town where they would rest for the night and checked into the hotel.

Vanessa took advantage of the time when everyone was free to move around and quietly found a "Bird House", a shop that specializes in renting homing pigeons and small tamed flying monsters to customers.

After some selection, Vanessa chose an Iron-beaked Nighthawk. Although this first-level monster has a fast flying speed, it has poor endurance and takes much longer to deliver a message than a Steel-feathered Owl, but it is still considered a tall one among short ones.

Then, Vanessa stuffed the encrypted letter she had already written into the mailbox on Ironbeak Nighthawk's foot, and then asked her boss to help give an order, asking Ironbeak Nighthawk to deliver the letter to the post office in the capital of the Kingdom of West, the city of Chien - in that post office, there was an insider of their Qianlong Auxiliary Organization, who was specifically responsible for receiving letters sent to the organization by various auxiliary personnel.

·

Yes, after all the entanglements during this period, Vanessa finally decided to seek the power of the organization and verify the authenticity of Fei Ke's identity as Long Ying.

·

Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary individuals and organizations to find relevant clues about such a secret matter as "King Wester's illegitimate child".

However, the Dragon Shadow Auxiliary Organization where Vanessa is located is obviously unusual. They have the ability to discover Dragon Shadow and verify the authenticity of Dragon Shadow's identity.

But Vanessa's actions are not without cost. She was about to leave the organization, but now she is turning back. In addition to the punishment she cannot escape, she will also lose the right to assist Lord Fike - if Lord Fike is the real Dragon Shadow and is willing to continue to choose Vanessa as his assistant.

However, Vanessa really had no choice. She could not continue to assist Lord Fige while having doubts in her heart.

Rather than living a life of constant suspicion, it's better to take the plunge and get to the bottom of things. That's what Vanessa did.

——(Please, Ironbeak Nighthawk...)

——(Please help me deliver the letter...!)

Vanessa looked up until the iron-beaked nightjar disappeared into the night sky.

Next, she planned to find a place to have dinner and then rest, but what Vanessa didn't know was that in the dark, beyond her sight, there were two "shady" people... who had already set their sights on her.

9.59 - Counterattack Begins

The two people who have set their sights on Vanessa are our classmate Jiang Ran and the time management master, the Lord of Eternal Winter, who has been very busy these days.

Jiang Ran was able to discover Vanessa by reasoning about the whereabouts of the Snow Deer family's special forces, while the Lord of Eternal Winter made rational use of the intelligence of the Heavenly Ghosts and Earthly Ghosts to ensure that "every step" he took was on the most efficient path.

Because he was afraid of "Elder Le Xian", Jiang Ran did not rashly approach the Snow Deer Family Special Forces. In addition, considering that Vanessa was one of the four girls who killed him in the "Future Death Scene", Jiang Ran did not directly contact Vanessa.

Jiang Ran now has two basic inferences about his death at the hands of the girls in the future. The first is that the "Stone Ghost Mask" can greatly enhance the girls' strength through some means; the second is that the "Stone Ghost Mask" can also affect the girls' minds and transform their hatred for him into murderous intent.

Based on these two judgments, Jiang Ran decided to observe Vanessa's situation from the outskirts of the town for the time being. Unexpectedly, this actually brought him some benefits:

A nighthawk released overnight.

·

Under the cover of night, Jiang Ran caught the Iron-beaked Nighthawk without much effort, and also saw that the handwriting in the letter was from Vanessa.

However, Jiang Ran read the content of the letter several times but still couldn't understand it until he realized that it was an encrypted letter.

Based on his knowledge of cryptography, Jiang Ran speculated that the encryption method of this letter used the classic "key substitution method", which means that without the "key", it would be difficult to guess the original content of the letter by guesswork alone.

(Unbeknownst to anyone else, releasing a flying monster to communicate via mail at this time... Could it be that Vanessa is trying to reconnect with that "organization"?)

Jiang Ran reasoned and felt that this was the only possibility.

When Jiang Ran was working with Vanessa before, he had already understood Vanessa thoroughly through mind reading.

If Vanessa is indeed in contact with the "Organization," then there is probably only one possible reason:

Vanessa began to doubt Jiang Ran's identity as Long Ying.

·

Due to limited information, Jiang Ran could only guess the results and could not infer the process, but at this stage, the results were enough for him.

(So ​​this is what caused Vanessa to change... Then all I have to do is keep her believing I'm the Dragon Shadow.)

Jiang Ran silently "dealt with" the Iron-beaked Nighthawk and the letter. Although tracking the address and recipient of the letter is also a way to "decipher" it, it is too time-consuming. For Jiang Ran, he must race against time.

In the remaining six days, he has to win back the favor of as many as four girls, including Vanessa.

After quick and careful thinking, Jiang Ran decided to apply some psychological principles, and then combine the "Trickster" and the new skill "Shadowmaker" to regain Vanessa's "heart".

Not in two days, not tomorrow, he wants to solve the problem tonight.

·

·

While Jiang Ran was targeting Vanessa, another man who was also targeting Vanessa was also taking action. This man was the Lord of Eternal Winter.

The Lord of Eternal Winter not only stared at Vanessa, but also at Banning. However, because he was worried that his presence would be discovered by Banning, the Lord of Eternal Winter always kept a considerable distance from Banning.

After careful and rigorous arrangements, the Lord of Eternal Winter has now distributed the "Illusionary Ice Crystal Mirage" to the girls he has chosen in an imperceptible manner. In addition, in order to ensure that each girl has sufficient murderous intent towards Banning, he has also prepared a variety of auxiliary means, such as the "Ermati Flower Potion" mentioned above.

All that was left was to wait for the girls to gather together according to the time and route he planned, and then "violently kill" or "explosively kill" Banning together.

As for the eldest son of the Green Lizard family, although the Lord of Everwinter does not think highly of him, he is on his way to deal with Banning. He can be regarded as a "little easter egg" in the Lord of Everwinter's entire strategy.

Then, according to the Lord of Eternal Winter's original plan, he would arrange for someone to add the "Ermoti Flower Potion" to Vanessa's food tonight and then return to the Hell Abyss Empire. The war on the front line was no small matter, and every hour of delay would have a huge impact.

But, Banning's appearance near this town tonight was beyond the Lord of Eternal Winter's expectations.

According to the Lord of Eternal Winter's plan, Banning should have met the four girls in Yanji City. Why would he inexplicably take a long detour to come to this unknown town?

——(Could it be that I have entered a time loop?)

——(The current Banning...is actually the Banning who has died and regressed?)

The Lord of Eternal Winter felt a headache. This damn "death replay" problem came again.

However, the Lord of Eternal Winter was only troubled, because he had already thought thoroughly about whether Banning possessed the ability to "rewind death".

In the current battle plan, if Banning possesses the ability of "Death Rewind", then the Lord of Eternal Winter will definitely not be able to kill him, so Banning can be left aside.

And if Banning didn't have the ability of "Death Rewind", then the girl bombs deployed by the Lord of Eternal Winter would definitely be able to kill Banning, so the Lord of Eternal Winter could still ignore him.

Therefore, in general, what the Lord of Eternal Winter should do now is to ignore what Banning wants to do and just go back to the front line of the war. If he has to do something, the most he can do is to ask the ghosts to keep a closer eye on it and report to him in full after the matter is over.

——(Banning, you'd better die obediently this time, otherwise, you will face an even more miserable end.)

——(…I don’t want to do anything too cruel to my other self in this parallel world.)

The Lord of Eternal Winter made his decision and resolutely left the town.

A major principle for efficient use of time is not to confirm the results of everything yourself, but just wait for your subordinates to report the results.

Finally, the camera returns to Vanessa.

Hungry Vanessa found a nearby restaurant and started to enjoy her dinner. She had been traveling with the Snow Deer Family Special Forces these days, sleeping in the open air and had not eaten such delicious food for a long time.

When the waiter served Vanessa, he poured a small cup of translucent "soup" on the steak in front of her, saying that it was a local specialty spice with a unique taste, and asked Vanessa to try it.

Vanessa didn't think much about it and was about to start eating with the mentality of experiencing the local customs and culture. But just as she was about to feast on her food, a stranger who was passing by suddenly overturned all her plates to the ground and ran away!

This sudden action really made Vanessa dumbfounded. She was a stranger in this small town, so how could she be bullied for no reason? Could it be because she was from outside the area?

"Stop!"

Vanessa jumped up and immediately chased after the stranger. At the same time, the waiter in the restaurant also chased after her, but the prankster ran so fast that he disappeared in the corner of the alley in a few seconds, forcing Vanessa and the waiter to give up.

However, Vanessa's "bad luck" did not end there. The waiter told her that since the prankster had run away, Vanessa had to pay for the meal herself. In addition, if Vanessa still wanted the food that fell on the ground, the waiter could ask the kitchen to reheat it.

Who is Vanessa? How could the eldest daughter of the Snow Deer family eat food dropped on the ground? She immediately felt humiliated, threw a silver coin at the waiter, and then left angrily.

9.60 - Gossip

After leaving that unlucky restaurant, Vanessa found another one that she liked. This time she learned her lesson. Not only did she choose a seat near the corner so that she could protect the food, she also put the deer spirit she borrowed from others into a state of readiness. If anyone dared to cause trouble for her, she would let that person know what "real trouble" was.

Under such an ironclad defense, Vanessa was finally able to eat her dinner in peace.

With her current attitude, not to mention those who came to play a prank on her, even the waiters would have to be cautious when serving her food.

Then, after having a peaceful dinner for a while, as her stomach was filled little by little, Vanessa slowly relaxed her guard.

As she ate gracefully, she began to think about the organization, the rookies in Podell Town, and Lord Fike.

In fact, if possible, Vanessa did not want to play the role of "assistant". She also wanted to be like the elders of the Snow Deer Family, possessing the super strength to stand on her own, so as to shut up those guys who thought that she was only worth marriage.

However, the talent type of controlling deer spirits has determined Vanessa's upper limit. Vanessa, who is born to be able to control three deer spirits at the same time, seems to be a child of destiny, but in fact she is just a sapling grown in a flowerpot.

When Vanessa first showed her talent for controlling three deer spirits at the same time, everyone had unlimited expectations for her.

"Being able to control three deer spirits simultaneously, doesn't that mean you have three times the power?" - This was the consensus of most people regarding Vanessa.

However, the reality is both true and false.

Vanessa only showed stronger and more flexible combat capabilities than people of the same class in the early stages of her combat profession. Later, as her combat profession rank improved, her advantages gradually disappeared.

There are two reasons for this phenomenon:

First, Vanessa's magic output mode for controlling the Deer Spirit has been fixed to output equal amounts of magic from three channels simultaneously;

Secondly, Vanessa's total magical power isn't much different from other "Deer Spirits" of the same class and level;

When these two unfavorable factors are combined, in simple terms, under the premise of the same class level, each deer spirit controlled by Vanessa is only one-third of the strength of other deer spirits, even if she deliberately controls only one deer spirit, the result will be the same.

The ancients said that it is better to break one finger than to injure five fingers. The same principle applies in battle.

As Vanessa's combat performance began to become more and more "general but not refined", her shortcomings became more and more obvious. In the end, the family decided to give up training her as a strong person, and instead concluded a plan with the Green Lizard Family to exchange children for "cultivation". Among those children exchanged was Vanessa.

However, these are all things of the past, and Vanessa has long since faced reality.

Now she only wanted to receive a reply from the "Organization" as soon as possible to confirm the authenticity of Lord Feike's Dragon Shadow identity.

Deep down in Vanessa's heart, she still hoped to prove that "the words of that rookie from Podell Town were false."

——(If I hadn't met that busty blonde... I wouldn't be like this now...)

Vanessa angrily picked up the meat on the plate with a fork. At this moment, the conversation of the guests at the next table came into her ears, making her forget about putting the meat into her mouth.

"Brother, let me tell you, there's a blonde with big breasts among the vagrants in Bodel Town. She's really hot. You can try it next time you go there."
