The next day

February 11, 2049

Game time AM09:17

Violet Empire, Marshall Territory, Mercury City

Sylvia Shuangrui, the deputy leader of the Ice Curtain Mage Group under the Marshall family, got up half an hour late as usual. She stretched her proud body lazily, and then casually put the figure beside the pillow who looked only fourteen The five-year-old human girl with dull eyes held her in her arms and kissed her, then lingered for a while before starting to change her clothes.

ten minutes later

Sylvia wore her favorite set of sky blue deep V robes with the least fabric, and left the Ice Curtain Mage Tower located in the north of Mercury City. It is the residence of all members of the mage group. It is more elegant than the regular private mage tower. It's several times bigger, with mountains of magic crystals, well-equipped experimental sites, well-stocked libraries, and various comfortable and convenient arrays and barriers. The [Winter Prism] made of heavy gold on the top of the spire is day and night. Continuously creating water elements allows mages to meditate more efficiently. In addition, this natural magic guide crystal worth at least 800,000 gold coins is also a weapon. With sufficient magic power supply, [ "Winter Prism" can fire ice pulses infinitely at a frequency of once every three minutes when the enemy attacks. Not only does it have a terrifying range of up to three kilometers, but its power is equivalent to the full blow of a high-level magician.

but……

For Sylvia, the most satisfying place in this mage tower, which is regarded as a holy place by countless Marshallese people, is the oversized bedroom where she can have fun and have fun, and the rest is just so-so.

Although Sylvia was only a high-level water mage, she never felt that the silly-looking tower would be of any help to her, especially when she was using it with so many people.

She is not a simple mage, nor is she a simple elf~

That long aqua hair was scarlet before the dyeing ointment was applied...

Those pale golden eyes are also scarlet after taking off the 'phantom pupils'...

That smooth, white and tender skin will slowly turn into a sickly pale color if it is not 'moisturized' regularly...

Of course, Sylvia's pretty face is original. After all, there are very few blood seekers with unusual looks. Natural blood seekers are basically handsome men and beautiful women, while those with hateful faces or just look hateful. People who don't have the chance to obtain 'Blood Embrace'.

Yes, the deputy leader of the Ice Curtain Mage Group is not just an elf or a high-level mage. She is also a wandering blood seeker without family protection. Wandering around the Sin Continent, relying on her proud appearance and equally impressive strength, Sylvia has always lived a luxurious and carefree life. There is almost nothing dissatisfying except that she cannot stay in one place for too long. place.

On the premise of allowing her to continue to be luxurious and worry-free, Buffy Marshall also ensured Sylvia's stable life. In addition, Buffy Marshall was also willing to provide her with various high-quality 'delicious foods' on a regular basis. Sylvia naturally So he reciprocated the favor by joining the Ice Curtain Mage Group, and secretly served as the senior advisor of the Second Slave Catching Group. His main tasks were to select loyal young talents from the Mage Group and to participate in some large-scale slave catching plans from time to time~

To be honest, she prefers the slave-catching group to the empty title of deputy leader. They are full of little bad guys who suit Sylvia's taste. Although some members who are too perverted make her a little disgusted, the overall atmosphere is But it’s still good~

However, because the slave-catching group has not had any arrangements recently, and the Archduke of Marshall rushed to Salamoon because of that plague, Sylvia, who has no tasks or people to report to, can be said to be quite leisurely during this period, except for necessary needs. She has nothing to do except showing up at the City Hall and the Mage Tower every day, so she has been sleeping until she wakes up naturally, going out for a walk to look for high-quality food, going to the City Hall for a cup of tea, and returning to the Mage Tower for a cup. The rules of tea lead a leisurely life.

Of course, the matter of 'looking for high-quality food' is usually fruitless. After all, this is the center of the Marshall Territory. People who are qualified to live in Mercury City, even if they are just civilians, are the civilians closest to the family. As long as they can endure it, If she lives there, Sylvia will basically not take action, and there are few mercenaries, adventurers or caravans that she likes to prey on, but...

[This kid looks great, I want it so much! 】

Sylvia did not go straight from the mage tower to the city hall, but took a detour in the alley in the west of the city. She suddenly discovered a human teenager squatting in the corner in a daze. The latter looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, and his appearance But it was extremely delicate and cute. Even the dirty and smelly coarse cloth clothes could not hide the delicious essence of its owner. Sylvia could not walk almost the moment she saw the child.

[Judging from the way he is dressed, this child’s background is probably not much better, so even if I ‘eat’ him, it won’t have much impact~]

Sylvia thought to herself, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in a charming arc. Then she walked up to the human boy and gently held up his hair: "Is there anything I can do to help you, my dear?" ?”

The young man trembled subconsciously, and then when he looked up and saw the other person's face, he took off his guard and whispered with a red face: "I'm lost..."

"Lost?" Sylvia's smile grew wider. She gently hugged the boy's shoulders, her two thin lips almost touching the latter's ears, and asked softly like a whisper: "Why are you lost? Woolen cloth?"

The boy's cheeks turned redder. He twisted his body uncomfortably, and with difficulty he moved his gaze away from Sylvia's face, and replied: "I got separated from my family. My father said that we will leave in the afternoon." Go to the south of Ka... Ka... um..."

"Kasha City?" Sylvia gently pecked the young man's earlobe. Her slender arms used a little force to hug the young man in her arms tighter: "Did you come with the caravan?"

The latter nodded vigorously: "Well, my father sells leather... our family's leather..."

"Put away the leather ones first, my dear, relax first~"

Sylvia gently interrupted the other party's stumbling narration and kissed the boy's cheek affectionately: "Stay with sister for a little while, and then I will take you to find your father, okay?"

"Eh~?"

"Yes, that's it, don't move, it might hurt a little, but sister will make up for it for a day or a night~"

The next moment, two unnaturally long little tiger teeth had broken the skin on the side of the boy's neck...

The next moment, Sylvia suddenly felt a huge shock all over her body, and then she fell to the ground with an incredible expression on her face. A few drops of blood slid down the corners of her mouth, and condensed into a drop of blood before falling to the ground. Tiny blood particles.

"To be honest, it's so low-level that it's outrageous. Even if you can successfully subdue me, it won't be more regrettable than it is now..."

A cold sigh sounded beside her, but the blood seeker could not even turn his head at this moment...

But even if she couldn't see it, Sylvia could clearly tell that the person who said those words was not an ordinary boy. The slightly hoarse but gentle and melodious voice clearly belonged to a woman, a calm, cold and beautiful woman. .

She opened her mouth with difficulty: "What...are you..."

Click!

A jet-black musket was violently thrust into her mouth, pushing back Sylvia's next words.

"Objectively speaking, the only thing you need to do now is to save your life as much as possible, instead of trying to ask answers that you are unlikely to get, and may even cause the other party to kill you."

The slender hand holding the gun gently patted Sylvia's cheek, and then pulled out the musket that was very likely to kill her as long as she pulled the trigger. The next second, the dark gun butt was placed on Sylvia His eyes began to grow rapidly!

"The truth is the most worthless thing. Goodbye ~ Curious Miss Vampire."

These were the last words Sylvia heard before she passed out.

…

ten minutes later

Mercury City City Hall

A long, graceful leg kicked open the door of Mercury City's housekeeper, Fudge. The latter was one of the Archduke Marshall's most trusted people, and his status was even higher than the owner of that leg.

"Oh, Ms. Shuang Rui, I remember you said you were in a good mood yesterday."

The old goblin brushed aside the letter in front of him, put down the quill that was a little too big for him, and said with a smile: "Can old Fudge do something for you?"

"Of course, but first you have to get those ugly men behind you to get out."

Sylvia looked back coldly at the four or five awkward-looking knights behind her, and said in a deep voice, "If you want me to do it myself, I can."

"Don't be like this~ These knights are just doing their duty to protect the frail old Fudge during working hours. After all, the Duke thinks I am still useful. Okay, everyone, please step aside."

Fudge raised his hand, waved away the guarding knights at the door, and then smiled gently at Sylvia: "You should know the rules here. We all have to be careful, and you have never done this before. If you come to me at this time, those dedicated knights don’t know whether you are an ‘idler’ or not.”

"Of course I'm just waiting around."

Sylvia shrugged, casually pulled out the chair in front of Fudge and sat down: "There is no doubt."

The white-haired and well-built old goblin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My lady, of course you are not just waiting around. If you feel that you have been offended just now, of course I am willing to apologize to you immediately."

"I'm telling the truth, Mr. Fudge. I'm just a bastard."

Sylvia folded her legs gracefully and stroked the long hair on her shoulders: "Of course Sylvia Shuang Rui is not, but that has nothing to do with me. Okay, please don't show this expression and quietly carry it to me. Please also put down the hand behind you, you are smart...well, at least smarter than Sylvia, you should know very well that I have no ill intentions."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Fudge stared coldly at 'Sylvia' in front of him, still holding the directional teleportation scroll tightly in his right hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?!"

"Perhaps I should take back what I just said. It's really stupid to ask 'who are you' and 'who are you?' in this situation. Even if I tell you who I am and what my name is, Will the name be helpful to the content of our next conversation? Will it make you trust me unconditionally? "

'Sylvia' smiled sarcastically and knocked on the table lightly: "I think questions like 'What are you going to do?' and 'What is your purpose?' are much more valuable."

"All right."

Fudge nodded happily after thinking briefly, and asked gloomily to the 'Sylvia' in front of him: "What is your purpose? Why are you here? Also, what happened to the real Sylvia?" "

"Don't worry, she just accidentally took a little [coagulant] and her life will not be in any danger."

The imposter smiled, and then raised an... well, index finger to Fudge: "I'm here to help you. There's no reason why I can explain it. In short, your Buffy, Duke Marshall, has been raped since three days ago. Under house arrest, an investigation team composed of the Violet Royal Family and other lords is rushing to Mercury City. They want to investigate some particularly interesting things, and they have a lot of evidence in their hands. Yes, such as the list you are subconsciously covering up now. , this is what they are looking for~"

"Could it be that……"

Fudge broke out in a cold sweat. He had been wondering since last night why there had been no news from Salamun. He was about to write a letter to Buffy Marshall before the fake Sylvia broke in. However, Fudge didn't expect this to happen at all. However, Fudge didn't know whether the words of the guy in front of him were serious or not...

"I know what you are going to say." 'Sylvia' choked back the other party's unspoken question in advance and smiled calmly: "Of course I can't prove that I am reliable, nor can I tell you the source of the information. , all I can say is that I know very well what the Marshall family is doing, and I also know what is hidden in this mercury city. As for why I have to tell you about this, haha... is this important? "

Fudge narrowed his eyes slightly: "Isn't this important?"

"This is certainly not important compared to the joint investigation team that will arrive here tonight."

'Sylvia' fiddled with her hair carelessly and said calmly: "I will not ask you for any reward, nor will I ask you for any conditions. The purpose of this trip is just to tell you things. As for how Mercury City plans to deal with this matter, it has nothing to do with me."

Fudge looked at the other party with some struggle, and tried for the last time: "Could it be that you..."

"I've said everything that needs to be said, and you can do whatever you want next."

But 'Sylvia' had already stood up, turned around and walked out: "By the way, if you plan to let the guards stop me, or take action yourself..."

She turned back and smiled kindly at Fudge.

"Then don't worry about the investigation team~"
