This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

The next task has been refreshed in the system.

[Yulia - Stage 3 Personal Side Quest (Affection Level 50)]

[Task 3: Gather Supplies]

[Description: Following a fierce battle, supplies were scarce. You and Yulia decided to venture out to replenish them. You arrived at the spirit mine and decided to gather herbs.]

【Task Completion Conditions:】

【1. Harvest 0/100 herbs (required)】

[2. Mine 0/5000 grams of spirit ore (Required)]

【3. Collect 0/10 liters of Spirit Stream (Required)】

【award:???】

These kinds of data collection tasks are the most time-consuming.

Yulia's task can be put on hold for now; let's complete Ysera's task first.

After leaving the meeting place, Thor rushed to the church to find Isela and complete the final check-in task.

Inside the church office, Isela sat behind a desk piled high with documents.

Today she was wearing a fitted black nun's habit, which, as always, showed off her shapely figure, and her face had a touch of holiness and tranquility.

When she saw Thor arrive, she stopped what she was doing.

"Thor, you said you were late because of family matters, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

Thor couldn't possibly tell us what happened last night or why he overslept this morning, could he?

If Ysera finds out about this, the consequences could be quite terrifying.

"If anything happens to Julia, I won't let you off the hook," Isera said coldly.

Thor was speechless, and secretly wanted to laugh:

You should worry about me more than Julia.

There is a dragon maid in the house who rides on her body and licks her cheeks every morning.

Shouldn't you worry about yourself?

"Alright, I got it." Thor didn't want to say anything more.

"Yulia is fine."

Thor wanted to know about Princess Enor.

"Do you have any clue about the distinguished guest who was absent today?" Thor asked.

Even if they are distinguished guests sent by Her Majesty the Princess, they have the right to stand everyone up.

But that person should always have a reason for being absent.

Ysera slowly shook her head.

"no."

She was not lying.

Like everyone else, all she knew was that a representative appointed by the princess would attend today's meeting.

"Understood."

The system's task notification sounded, attracting Thor's attention.

The meeting with Ysera fulfilled the final condition of the system's mission.

Task 1: Church Renovation

[Task successful]

[1. Meet with Miss Saint at the church for four consecutive days. (Completed on day 4)]

2. Persuade the saintess to help you repair the church. (Completed)

3. Use shovels, hammers, and mallets during the repair process. (Completed)

[Review: After the repairs, the church is 99% repaired. You're amazing!]

Rating: SS

The church is indeed 99% repaired.

Because the church was never damaged at all.

It was perfectly intact to begin with.

[Reward: 50000 experience points; Basic Black Magic skill (unrated)]

[Dark Magic Skill (Beginner) - Cannot be rated: Increases your mastery of dark magic after learning this skill.]

This looks pretty good.

If Thor's understanding is correct, this item should increase proficiency in dark magic skills.

He decided to store these things in the warehouse first.

I'll study it carefully when I get back.

At this moment, Ysera changed the subject, suddenly becoming somewhat hesitant:

"that......"

This statement caught Thor's attention.

"The medicine you mixed with water for me to take the night before last."

Are you sure there are no side effects?

Thor was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time Thor had ever seen Ysera so timid.

A bad feeling rose in my heart.

Thor asked cautiously, "Did you feel any discomfort after taking that medicine?"

"Of course not..." Isera denied on the spot.

However, after saying this, an unusual blush appeared on her face.

Ruined.

That means it really exists!

Thor knew he was in trouble.

He knew nothing about this medicine.

System, are you still there? Could you explain what's going on with this medicine?

【...】

The system is currently frozen.

Thor still remembers the effects of the drug.

Honesty Potion: After use, the target will lose the ability to lie for half an hour and reveal their true personality.

System, could you explain the side effects?

【...】

The system did not mention anything about any side effects.

No matter what.

Based on the experience from last time...

After using the mind-reading medication, I only experienced dizziness for a while, and occasionally a few words of other people's inner thoughts would pop into my head.

Thinking about this, Thor suddenly had a guess.

If it's the same situation as last time, then it's the so-called drug side effects.

Could it be that Ysera can't lie these days?

To verify his idea, Thor tentatively asked:

"Miss Saint, as a member of the clergy, you wouldn't like a dragon like Julia, would you?"

Sure enough, a layer of sweat appeared on Ysera's forehead, and the flush on her face spread further.

"Of course."

She is lying.

"Miss Saint, you probably don't like me, do you?"

Ysera showed no reaction on her face, and said in a serious tone:

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Sure enough, I started to feel unwell whenever I lied.

Conversely, if you tell the truth, there is no reaction whatsoever.

Since Ysera was too proud to reveal the truth, Thor went along with it.

"It's nothing."

"It's good that you're not feeling unwell."

Thor, feigning ignorance, continued:

"This medicine definitely has no side effects."

Ysera remained silent for a moment, then truly believed it.

"Too."

She shook her head to herself.

How could anyone dare to use a saintess as a test subject?

"Let's get down to business."

Ysera crossed her arms over her chest, let out a long sigh, and said solemnly:

What are your thoughts on what Darrian said today?

Thor certainly had his own ideas.

He spoke his true thoughts:

"I don't think Count Oscar will die so easily."

Perhaps the people Her Majesty the Princess sent really did get involved in this matter.

But things are definitely not that simple.

"Did Count Oscar really die at the hands of that distinguished guest?"

"Even if he really dies, doesn't he have any other trump cards?"

Isera agreed.

"That's what I think too."

"Furthermore, they must be hiding something else."

"The fact that they acted without my knowledge proves that they don't trust us."

The investigation into Count Oscarna's case was originally authorized by the princess to be carried out by Ysera.

the reason is simple:

Count Oscarna wielded considerable power in the area.

If the details of the investigation are revealed too early, they could very well be leaked to the Earl.

Isera's voice rang out.

"I have already requested to see the Earl's body."

"The time is tonight."

"If you want to come, you can come with me."

Ysera invited Thor to go with her.

This is a good opportunity to gather information.

Information obtained directly is much more intuitive than information relayed by others.

Thor agreed without much hesitation.

Isera gave the specific time and place.

Tonight at eight o'clock, in the suburbs, at a location owned by the Guard Hall.

The body of Count Oscar was kept there.

"But why in the suburbs? And not at the headquarters of the Guard?" Thor asked.

Isera was also unable to answer this question.

"That's what they told me, just in case."

Thor felt that something was amiss.

However, we have no choice but to do as instructed.
