(Stupid Loli: Jiang Yan, didn’t you say you couldn’t take responsibility? Why did you show up on purpose to sow seeds of love?)

(Jiang Ran: Alas, you don’t understand this… You can neither develop nor ignore it. This is the best way to avoid turning love into hate.)

(Stupid Loli: Eh? Is Viviana so sensitive? I thought she was quite dull.)

(Jiang Ran: When it comes to matters of life and death, you can’t just assume things… As long as there’s a possibility, we must take precautions.)

Jiang Ran stood in the mouth of the Causing Horned Viper, Gnaku, looking at the Norman Town in the distance, chatting with the silly loli.

To be honest, at this distance, he couldn't see Viviana at all, he could only see a figure walking into Norman Town.

However, it didn't matter whether he could see clearly or not. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that Viviana would look back, Jiang Ran had to stand there until she disappeared from his sight.

·

Compared with the possible "disaster" that may be caused, this small effort is not worth mentioning.

·

"Alright, let's retreat. Let's go to the hangar and find a place for you to recover. You've worked hard during this period."

After Viviana disappeared at the entrance of Norman Town, Jiang Ran turned around and walked into the bloody mouth of the hangar.

The Thunderhorse motorcycle stood inside, looking at Jiang Ran silently. Jiang Ran knew that he had made a mistake in his haste and neglected the feelings of his good brother.

However, Xiao Moto is not a petty person. He just thought that since the battle is over, it is time to bring Tianma Shasha to let his master get to know him again.

The camera cuts back to Viviana.

Although Viviana returned to Norman Town immediately and returned to the hotel quietly, her father, Lord Scarlet Driggs, discovered that she had sneaked out.

Lord Scarlet was furious, because this was the second time Viviana had done this recently... and she had committed the same mistake twice while under house arrest!

However, just after Lord Scarlet scolded Viviana, Viviana's performance was beyond his expectations.

This time, Viviana's attitude became much more confident than before, and she didn't seem dejected at all because of being reprimanded.

She told Lord Feiqi very frankly that the reason she left Norman Town at night was because after fighting in the Besent area for some time, she fully realized her shortcomings.

His own weakness made him restless and unable to sleep, so he simply went out to fight monsters, hoping to become stronger through practice.

"Father, I have some new ideas for future battle strategies that can better utilize the properties of the 'Pigeon Blood Red Stone'. Moreover, through last night's battle training, I have verified the feasibility of these strategies."

Viviana did not deny that she made a mistake, but she gave Lord Scarlet a reasonable reason.

In addition, the confidence displayed by Viviana throughout the explanation process impressed Lord Scarlet.

Lord Feiqi's original anger was thus largely extinguished.

He had intended to give Viviana a more severe punishment, but miraculously he did not increase the intensity of the house arrest. He only asked Viviana to report when she went out in the future and not to act on her own.

However, it would not be Lord Scarlet's style to let Viviana off so easily.

"...But, if it happens again, there will be no more of you in the Feiqi family, Viviana."

The last words from the Feiqi family still sounded a wake-up call to Viviana.

Obviously, such a stern warning is not something that can be said casually.

Being removed from the Feiqi family is a punishment equivalent to killing Viviana.

Lord Scarlet Driggs is a very organized man.

After reprimanding and warning Viviana, the matter was put to rest and she would not carry her emotions into the next matter.

For Driggs, today is a very critical day. The outcome of today's conversation with the yak man will directly affect the overall plan for the future.

Up to now, the Feiqi family's outing can be said to be a huge failure.

They had brought a whole cavalry team with them when they set out, but now only Lord Scarlet and Viviana are left, and even their horses are all dead.

Therefore, Lord Feiqi would never take Viviana back like this. If he did so, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Feiqi family.

"Viviana, Woodcorn will come to see us today. Be prepared and leave at any time."

"As you command, Father."

After giving instructions to Viviana, Lord Scarlett quickly jumped onto the roof of the hotel and surveyed the entire Norman town.

Will Woodcorn, the vice president of the Plateau Furnace Union, the Yak Man, come to the appointment today?

Lord Scarlet Driggs wasn't very sure in his heart.

·

Last night, after a fierce battle with the stitched monster, Lord Scarlet and Woodcorn agreed to meet in Norman Town today.

Although many things have happened in recent days, the general direction of the cooperation between the two parties remains unchanged - that is, to customize equipment for Viviana and purchase some mass-produced equipment for the Feiqi family.

Whether it is Lord Scarlet or Woodcorn, they both need to give an explanation to the organizations behind them.

However, after last night's battle, Lord Feiqi now has an additional concern.

He was worried whether Woodcorn had seen through or guessed Viviana's identity as the Son of God?

If that were the case, he would not be able to let Woodcorn continue to live.

11.03 - Tacit Game

Lord Scarlet Driggs had no evidence to prove that Woodcorn knew Viviana's true identity.

His current thoughts are just guesses based on common sense.

After all, anyone with a certain understanding of the combat professional class would easily see that Viviana's combat performance yesterday far exceeded the level that a "fourth-level combat professional" could achieve.

Given Woodcorn's identity, status, age and experience, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to think of the concept of "reincarnated Son of God."

So, how do we determine whether Woodcorn has already known the secret of the Feiqi family?

As the lord of a big family, Lord Driggs of Scarlet Qi would naturally not do such a stupid thing as asking Woodcorn directly.

After thinking about it, he temporarily set two judgment conditions.

The first criterion is whether Woodcorn will come to Norman Town as scheduled today.

If Woodcorn hadn't come, it was likely that he had already known the secret and was afraid that Driggs would kill him, so he slipped away;

The second judgment condition needs to be based on the premise that Woodcorn arrives in Norman Town as scheduled.

If Woodcorn did come, Driggs didn't think it would be all right.

If Woodcorn brought a lot of people with him, or if he was secretly preparing for war, it would still mean that this guy already knew the secret.

——(Woodcorn, I hope you can be more calm this time. I don’t want to kill you at this time...)

——(If I kill you, I won’t be able to trade with the Plateau Hearthfire Guild.)

Driggs stared into the distance, his brow furrowed.

·

At the same time, in the wilderness forty or fifty kilometers away from Norman Town, the vice president of the Plateau Hearth Union, the yakman Woodcorn, was hesitating with the union's combat troops.

Do we really need to bring so many people into Norman Town? Woodcorn vaguely felt that this was not a good idea.

Given the suspicious nature of Scarlet Lord Driggs, a battle that would not have occurred otherwise might have broken out because of Woodcorn's "unnecessary action."

However, if Woodcorn guessed wrong, then he would be seeking death - after all, no matter what, the gains and losses of the lord's personal reputation are nothing compared to the "Secret of the Reincarnated Son of God".

Now, Woodcorn faces a choice.

Should he put his own life first, give up the cooperation with the Feiqi family, and then bring shame upon himself in Shopwock City, the holy land of craftsmen?

Or should I take a gamble and take the risk to complete the task assigned to me by the guild leader, but if I fail to do it well, I may die?

No, Yakman Woodcorn never makes choices, he wants them all.

Drigs of Explosion is indeed famous, but his "Red Demon Armguard Akai" was damaged in the battle last night.

In addition, the cavalry sent by the Feiqi family this time has been completely destroyed.

The real threat was Viviana, who was previously regarded as a vase by Woodcorn.

If this girl is really the reincarnated son of God, then even if Woodcorn has ten lives, she will not be able to kill him.

—(Hmph, if that ever happens, consider it like trading my life for a piece of priceless information.)

Woodcorn snorted stubbornly and made a decision.

Coincidentally, it was at this time that he finally figured out a "simple" truth.

“Yes…yes…!”

"If that's true, then Driggs will be even less likely to kill me!"

"Why did I just think of it now, hahaha!"

Woodcorn laughed heartily, and then gave instructions to the assembled combat troops.

"Without my order, none of you are allowed to enter Norman Town. However, if I haven't contacted you after three days, you will take this 'letter' back to the guild master."

After saying this, Woodcorn handed a wax-sealed letter to his men, then carried the "Long-handled Lava Battle Axe Vulcano" alone and headed towards Norman Town.

October 187, 10

11:49 AM

[Death Future Remaining: 7 Days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 17 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Nearing noon, the autumn sun was shining brightly.

Lord Scarlet Driggs waited for the whole morning and finally the man showed up.

Yak warrior Woodcorn, carrying a long-handled lava battle axe on one shoulder.

——(You are so brave, Woodcorn... You dare to come to the appointment alone...)

——(Are you being reckless or just plain stupid?)

Driggs really wanted to meet Woodcorn immediately, but going out so actively might expose his intentions and concerns.

So Driggs chose to find a nearby roadside restaurant, sit down and start enjoying brunch.

Yes, because he was worried about whether the next things would go smoothly, and because of Viviana's unauthorized actions in the middle of the night, Driggs had not had a drop of water since he woke up in the early morning.

A moment later, as Driggs expected, Woodcorn, who was passing by, spotted Driggs having his meal.

"Haha, Lord, I finally found you."

Woodcorn greeted Driggs with a smile. Driggs noticed his relaxed demeanor and put down his knife and fork to respond.

"Good afternoon, Vice President. I didn't expect you to be here so soon. Would you like to sit down and have something to eat with me?"

"Since you've invited me like this, I won't be polite, haha."

Woodcorn was invited to sit down. His tall figure of two meters and two meters high still exuded an oppressive feeling even when he was sitting.

Driggs could not see any vigilance towards him from the yak man's every move, and he breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Since this guy didn't show any vigilance towards me, it can be assumed that he hasn't noticed that Viviana might be the "reincarnated Son of God".

However, this conclusion can only be temporary.
