After reviving Jieli, Lijielit assured her that she would definitely save the villagers, and finally succeeded in calming her down.

Although Roth and Van Helsing, who suddenly appeared and disappeared, dissuaded Lijielit one after another, she still did not completely give up the plan to "suck up a city and then use her full strength to blow up the vampires and demons along with their traps", and unknowingly asked for Jieli's opinion again.

After almost causing Jieli's hysteria, of course, Lijielit had no choice but to give up.

"Walk slowly to my castle, to be honest I can't think of anything good for a while. "Anyway, as long as I haven't fallen into their hands, the villagers will still be valuable." ”

"Will the vampires turn the villagers into blood slaves?" Roth asked, knowing that this would make Jieli even more nervous.

He couldn't figure out who was in charge of this illusion now, and he couldn't figure out what the main messenger wanted to change in the past, so he could only let go of a possibility.

In preparation for becoming an adventurer, Roth has detailed information about all the enemies he may encounter, including the mention that some vampires may raise blood slaves, poor creatures who may be ordered by vampires to blow themselves up at any time to perform blood magic.

After becoming a shadow of filth, the self-detonation of the Blood Slave became even more threatening, and the worst case on record was that a group of five adventurers were corrupted by the filth as a result of the self-detonation, and only one escaped half-dead.

As a high-threat target, the information of the Blood Slaves is particularly complete in the database of the Adventurers' Guild, no worse than that of their master Vampire, and Roth still knows this very well.

"I've had vampires do this before, and I've cleaned his veins from top to bottom. Ligeret sneered, "If those fools didn't want the vampires to go extinct a thousand years earlier, they wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Before the villagers lose their value as hostages, they will surely be served with good food and drink. ”

Jieli asked unspiritedly, "Will it really be okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just trust me!" Lijielit hugged Jieli in her arms, "Jieli, what's the name of this village?"

"Dupu ......"

"Dupu, oh, the oak tree means, there are a lot of oak trees here! I love to eat acorns, and when I get the villagers back, I must be invited to eat a lot of acorns!" Lijliet imitated the way a squirrel ate an acorn, which looked quite funny, and made Jieli laugh.

Seeing that Jieli had stopped panicking for the time being, Lijielit grabbed her and Roth and said, "Then let's talk about it, let's go now!"

Based on the information he heard from Jorna, Roth thought that the timeline of the illusion might jump directly to the time when they arrived at Castle Black: a good pastist priest would only construct key points in time to maintain the stability of the [Delusional Realm] to the greatest extent, but he never thought that this illusion was much bigger than Roth expected!

In order to regain her strength as much as possible, Lijliet did not spare any of the beasts she encountered on the way, and left the dried corpses of the animals along the way, and the group traveled for three days, covering almost a third of the county's journey.

Roth is okay because he has the experience of staying in the illusion world, knowing that he will not be simply assimilated because of this, but presumably ordinary adventurers should have fallen into a panic at this time, no wonder none of the outstanding adventurers in the outside city can solve here.

Even those who are a little mentally prepared will inevitably become nervous and slip into shape, such as Lista, who has always existed as a phantom as Roth's future vision (pseudo).

Although Lista also experienced the events of the Fallen Village, he had a very good fighting spirit, and he was imprisoned in the illusion at the last moment, and before he could figure out what happened, he was destroyed by Thrando, and then the beginning of the big explosion, so he didn't have any personal experience of this illusion created by the pastor.

Joel had copied the Church's account of the Realm of Vanity to Lot through magical parchment, so he knew that he couldn't have done anything at all: after entering the Realm of Vanity, the time of his body had already been still, and even if the caster himself wanted to do anything to him, he had to first contact his avatar in the illusion.

Even now, when the pastist priest defected, this should not change, otherwise it would be better if the mastermind behind the scenes directly polluted Thrando in the Fallen Village, and would not be forced to blow himself up in the end.

Because he didn't want to reveal his identity, it was impossible for Roth to directly reveal the secrets that Joel told him to Lista, so he could only combine his own experience and the information he bought to give him science in disguise.

Unfortunately, Lista obviously didn't appreciate it, and before entering here, he bought enough dry food for a month and put it in his magic backpack, and lived on dry food for the past three days.

This led to a side effect, that is, Roth had eaten particularly well in the past three days, and was named "Rice Bucket" by Lijielit.

On the third day, the group successfully arrived in Rockland City, and Jieli wanted to seek the help of the lord, but she did not expect that the lord who was in her impression of being approachable and kind to the people would not even see her.

Not only that, but the whole city was in a state of near martial law, as if a war was about to break out.

In order to find out what was going on, Lijlitt seduced the aristocratic private soldiers who had come to chase her out on the spot, and asked him to tell him everything that had happened here.

It turned out that it was neighboring Kevray who led the big thing.

The Kevray Cave in the Kevray Domain is a mine named after the local lord's surname, and is said to have no actual relationship with the lord himself other than his name.

Originally, it was a cave for iron ore, but during previous mining work, a miner accidentally discovered a hidden vein of elemental stone.

When Roth heard this, he wondered why such luck was said to be like a disaster, but fortunately he chose to keep his mouth shut, avoiding the end of provoking unnecessary suspicion.

In the United Kingdom, elemental stones are a necessity rather than a precious, the result of the circulation of elemental power that should have been circulating around the world in the land of one remaining country.

Previously, when Roth pretended to be a speculative businessman, he also brought a warehouse full of obsidian directly to the border, because this is the level of [now] a speculator who expands his leverage through borrowing.

However, in this timeline about a thousand years ago, in the illusion, it seems that a high-quality elemental stone is enough to make an adventurer eat, drink, and have fun at high intensity for three or five years.

If an elemental enrichment area is found in a dungeon or monster lair that produces a few elemental stones on a regular basis, then it's okay, a whole vein is a national asset, and it is not something that the lord of any place can covet.

At this point, it becomes clear why a good thing turns into a bad thing.

Lord Kevray slaughtered all the miners in an attempt to monopolize the vein, but eventually leaked the news.

Knowing that this would not escape the king's punishment, Kevray contacted his neighbors and demanded asylum with their veins and territories, but the monarchs of the neighboring countries did not immediately believe in such pie-in-the-sky good things and missed the opportunity.

Forced to helplessly, Kevray led his private soldiers to pull up the anti-flag, not only no longer trying to hide it, but also publicized the matter of the ore vein, attracting many mages to come over, and he even sent a letter to the elven kingdom, but of course it was sunk in the sea.

The enraged king launched an army to attack, but was thwarted by the mages who had made a deal with Kreif, and failed to defeat Krev's territory before the coming of the neighboring armies, and the two countries eventually reached a stalemate.

"By a soldier's standards, he already knows a lot. "If you want more detailed information, you'll have to go into the city and find someone higher, I don't think it's necessary, because I've already thought of a way to rescue the villagers!"

"Really?" said Jieli excitedly.

Referring to her previous train of thought, Roth asked, "Can you eat the elemental stone raw?"

"I'm sorry that vampires aren't purely magical creatures!" Lijliet tapped Roth's head, "Although that vein can help me recover my magic power as soon as possible, the most important blood qi can't be made with magic! I mean steal a few elemental stones and use it to hire some powerful adventurers!"

Roth scratched his head and said, "Wouldn't it be better to just use your abilities to charm some adventurers for this?"

"In that case, they will all have my breath on their bodies, how can they sneak in!" Lijielit looked at Roth and shook her head, quite hating iron and steel, "Now this area is full of people because of the war that may break out at any time, I ...... Ah Jieli, don't be so afraid, I don't want to kill people, I just suck a little ~~~~ without attracting their attention, and it adds up to a lot! I can use this way to recover a certain amount of strength, although it is impossible to crush those bastard vampires and demons, but it is still possible to create an opportunity for others to infiltrate. ”

This must have been the method they had taken in the past, Roth thought to himself, looking at Jieli, who was so nervous that she could release the Holy Light at any moment, and Lijielit, who was soothing her.

But can adventurers really be trusted? Reality is not the story of a bard.

"That's an ordinary person in a village, even if you can sneak in, how can you get them out?" Roth had to question.

"No need to bring them out!" said Lijliet, "once I fight them, the vampires will surely fight with me, and sooner or later their blood reserves will run out, and by the time they think the hostages have lost their value, the villagers will inevitably become food." But if we send a team of people to infiltrate beforehand, and the vampires find out that they can't move the villagers without fighting first, they will naturally give up. ”

"Wouldn't the infiltrators also become food, and in order to avoid extinction, I'm afraid all the vampires would gather there, right?" Roth still thought it was useless.

"Do you think they'll have that kind of strength to face me?" said Ligerlit, "I can assure you that the vampires who run back from the battlefield are at least half dead!"

"Don't you have any legendary friends who can help you?"

"There are a few, but it's a waste of time to look for them, I suspect those guys may all be dead, and those who aren't dead won't have the energy to help me. Lijielit sighed, "I still have some fantasies, but in the Fan ......"

She glanced at Jieli, "...... Anyway, I'm sure now that the vampires mean it, and there's no way they're going to leave anything to chance. ”

Speaking of this, Lijielit became distressed: "How am I going to compensate the descendants of those guys in the future...... When they became friends with me, they never thought that one day they would be targeted by vampires from all over the world......"

Roth felt that nothing could be changed at this step, and nodded helplessly, "In that case, count me as one when you sneak in, one more person will do more." ”

"Let's get the money first, the adventurer who dares to take this commission will not be cheap. "My possessions are all in the castle, and now I am destitute, if I don't wash them...... The property of Dupu Village was expropriated as rescue funds, and we may not even be able to enter this Rockland City. ”

Before Roth and the others left the village, they should have expropriated the property left by the villagers in the village, after all, it was to save the lives of the villagers, presumably they would not have any opinions if they knew, and Jieli had no opinion.

However, apart from some good things in the homes of the village chief and a few elders, there were not many properties in the village that could quickly turn into money, and the little money they collected was obviously not enough to buy a life.

"That's a question, how are we going to get close to that mine? Not to mention that there must be heavy guards there, and it's very difficult for us to get into the Kevray Territory in the current tense situation, right? Roth asked.

While the army here certainly can't match the United Kingdom's, the army is an army after all, and there are plenty of mages helping the Cliff Lord.

Lijielit smiled slyly, "Just leave this to me!"

Jieli's face has been gloomy during the discussion between Roth and Lijielit, and it is inevitable that as a priesthood transcendent, she has to accept the reality of her cooperation with vampires, and now she has to condone vampires to suck people's life force and commit thefts, and it is already good that there is no collapse of faith and loss of power.

Rott and Gerly stayed in Rockland for another three days, while Ligeriet pretended to leave.

The first two days, the lord of Locklan may have been guilty in his heart, or it may have been to avoid the panic caused by Jieli spreading the news that a village had disappeared out of thin air, and after discovering that Jieli had lived in the city, he sent people every day to appease Jieli, saying empty words such as "The situation is special now", "The lord will not abandon his people", "When peace is restored here, the lord will definitely lead the army to fight evil", but on the third day, he no longer had the heart to send people to play this.

The reason is simple, because there is a serious situation in the army in which a large number of soldiers fall into weakness.

Whether it was the plague or the curse is unknown, and each soldier showed severe symptoms of suspected anemia, but no one thought in the direction of vampires.

"Who else but me will not only save the life of the person being sucked when sucking blood, but also not transform him into a blood slave? What other high-level vampire who can suck blood without leaving a trace is specially picked on the undrinkable guy? But with this bloodsucking method that does not plunder the source of the other party's life, I can't recover much......"

Lijielit said this, and her expression was a little smug but also a little bitter when she spoke.

At first, there was no similar situation among the civilians in the city, but from the third day onwards, anemic people began to appear among the civilians living near the barracks, and the thought of the large number of dried animal carcasses outside the city naturally caused panic in the city.

"We're going to be in trouble if we continue like this, aren't we?" said to Lizzett late on the third night, "It's such a coincidence that I'm going to suspect Jieli if I say it, maybe someone will come tomorrow to ask about Jieli's relationship with you." ”

Lijielit looked at the sleeping Jieli and said, "It's okay, no matter what, it is impossible to arrest Jieli tomorrow, just don't make it look like you want to run away." ”

Roth asked, "You mean something will happen the day after tomorrow?"

"The day before yesterday, I went to the general on Kevray's side and pretended to be a ghost, telling them that there would soon be a plague on Rockland's side, and that they wouldn't miss the opportunity. I also charmed a soldier from this side to go over there to ventilate the news, and they must have spies on this side themselves, so they can't help but not believe it. The day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, there will be an army over there. ”

"There will definitely be a big mess here, I can take the two of you to sneak to the Kref Territory while I have the opportunity, in fact, I have recovered a lot of strength now, and now I can take you two over directly, but it can be a little easier. And this can also cover for my blood-sucking matter, and when there are also a large number of anemic soldiers in Kref's army, they will definitely suspect that the epidemic infection caused by the battle between the two armies will be the first to suspect it!"

The more she spoke, the more proud she became: "If there are no particularly powerful mages on Cliff's side, I can continue to pretend to be a ghost, just say that the plague was spread by me, and if you want to win the war, you must hand over the elemental stones! When they find out that the 'plague' is also in the Kreef army, they will definitely find a way to trouble me, and I will take it myself when I see it, so you don't have to worry about me!"

Roth saw her smile brightly, but there was one thing in his heart that he couldn't figure out.

Isn't it because she doesn't have innocent blood on her hands when she does it now?

Is there really less dead and wounded than if she had to suck a city dry?

Roth couldn't help but look at Jieli, the girl he hadn't actually paid much attention to.

What will this nun, who believes in the gods, think in the end?
