The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Chapter Twenty-Four - The Bewitched Hero

Looking coldly at her subject and listening to his account, the vampire queen said indifferently, "The hunters' oath is intended to make them forget that they are vampires, and it also aims to provoke us. So we don't need to pay attention to it. But the hunters' young god Roya is something that our race must know."

“The divine blood has only recently arrived in Miracaissa, it’s impossible for a child god to be born so quickly. I think this child god might be a deity that Miracaissa originally worshipped, rather than a child god,” a vampire noble stepped forward and said to the vampire queen and the others.

"That's not necessarily true. You have to understand that Lu Ming isn't from Miracaisa. Coming from a region with unique magic, he might actually have a way to give birth to a divine child."

"But the possibility of such a thing is so small, it's almost impossible!"

"What if it's not 'birth'?"

"What do you mean?" Listening to the nobles arguing, the vampire queen only showed a little interest when one of them put forward a bold but very likely idea.

"Your Majesty, whether it's my clan, Byrenvis, or the Healing Church, they all hope to use the 'Sacred Womb' to give birth to a child of God. However, Lu Ming is not from Yharnam; being from Irithyll of the Valley, he may not follow this method." The nobleman took out some of his investigations on Lu Ming from his clothes and handed them to the Queen's maid to pass on to the Queen, then said, "When he mentioned the name 'Eldridge,' he always added the title 'Devouring God.' However, 'Eldridge' did not devour any so-called god, but rather one of the last descendants of the Irithyll of the Valley's royal family. In other words, there are two possibilities."

"First, the people of Icy Valley worship the royal family as gods, so devouring a member of the royal family is tantamount to devouring a god. Second, the royal family of Icy Valley truly is a god, hence this saying!"

After hearing the nobleman's words, all the vampires except the queen couldn't help but gasp. The royal family were practically gods; how could they possibly do something so outrageous?

"So, does this Eldridge also understand gods?" After pondering for a while, the vampire queen suddenly looked at the nobleman and asked, "Or is he himself a god?"

"The specifics are unknown to my subjects, but Eldridge does not appear to be a god. The nobles of Miracathia, as well as Viscount Lumin and Earl of Lothric from Irithyll of the Boreal Valley and Lothric respectively, all refer to him as the Lord of Cinder. The Lord of Cinder. In addition, Viscount Lumin is also a Lord of Cinder, while Earl of Lothric is a candidate for Lord of Cinder."

Looking at the nobleman, the vampire queen seemed lost in thought, but she quickly gave the order: "Contact Eldridge immediately and tell him that our clan is willing to cooperate with him as long as he can help us."

Upon hearing this, the nobles began to whisper among themselves. After a while, one of the nobles stepped forward and asked the vampire queen, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, our clan is now part of Miracaiser. Won't secretly cooperating with the elves' allies in Aifa incur Miracaiser's displeasure?"

The vampire queen gave a cold laugh and said, "I don't recall ever saying that my race is part of Miracaiser, have I? Moreover, the Blood Child is our race's supreme aspiration, which must be fulfilled!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

"Is this the taboo you mentioned in your letter?" Archbishop Tut asked Lu Ming, who was having a meal, as he sat in a secret room in the camp, patting the esoteric text on the table.

"Yes. However, everything related to that plan has already been burned. You don't need to worry that it will affect the position of the God of Light. Because from the beginning, the authority we gave them was for disasters and weather, which does not conflict with any known deities."

“But if humans create gods, the gods will surely be wary. You shouldn’t do this.”

"So what should I do?" Lu Ming wiped his mouth with a napkin, then pointed to his heart and said, "The Eldridge thing has been like a thorn stuck in my heart, I can't get rid of it. Yesterday morning he appeared in front of me, threatened me, and even injured Philner. Tell me, what should I do? Should I use everything I can to fight back, or should I just obediently let that man-eating bastard eat me up?"

"..." Archbishop Tut fell silent. He knew a little about Lu Ming's situation. Both Kanina and Amelia had said that Lu Ming would be eaten by Eldridge in the future.

If the person about to be eaten were a younger version of himself, he probably would have done something even more outrageous than Lu Ming. However, the young Archbishop Tut didn't have Lu Ming's ability to manipulate taboos, nor could he possibly have succeeded.

But now, Lu Ming had succeeded. He had created a taboo within a taboo, and was considered a villain by the gods. Yet, he had not been punished in any way; on the contrary, it seemed the gods wanted Lu Ming to kill Eldridge. This situation left Archbishop Thute bewildered. But now he was glad that Lu Ming hadn't continued and had stopped at the right time.

"I hope you can get rid of Eldridge soon, lest he do something crazy again." With a slight sigh, Archbishop Tut took the secret manual and left the room.

“I can’t stay in this position forever; the royal family and the nobles won’t allow it. So I’ll be returning to my territory soon.” Just as Archbishop Tut was about to leave the room, Lu Ming suddenly said, “(The hunters) are counting on you and Camilles.”

"Understood." Archbishop Tut replied curtly and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Lu Ming also stood up and left. However, he went in the exact opposite direction from Archbishop Tut.

“Lily is due to give birth in a few months. I can’t keep putting it off like this.”

night.

In the black market of Agamemnon, Lisa is carefully avoiding the pursuit of several wandering spirits of Londor.

"Damn it! Where did these wandering spirits come from? Why are they following me?" Lisa cursed under her breath as she watched the masked spirits looking around in the crowd, trying to find her.

Just then, a hand reached out from behind her, covered her mouth, knocked her unconscious, and dragged her into the darkness.

When she regained consciousness, it was already daylight, and she was no longer in the black market. Moreover, she was tied to a chair.

Looking around at the complete strangers, Lisa was horrified to discover that she had no magic left. The gloves with the two eyes of different people embedded in them were also gone.

In that instant, she felt as if she had been kidnapped.

But when Amelia appeared, she realized that she had been captured by her own mother's people.

Sitting down across from Lisa, Amelia's gaze was cold, frighteningly so.

"Let me make this clear first, I don't have your grandfather's open-mindedness to accept a daughter from the future. So you'd better behave, or you'll suffer a terrible fate!"

"..." Lisa was terrified as she looked at Amelia's cold expression.

“I don’t know why you want to work for Eldridge, and I don’t care. All I want to know is where Eldridge is right now! So tell me!” Amelia said coldly, taking the dagger handed to her by a servant.

"Why are you looking for the Prophet? You're not going to hand him over to that dark demon, are you?!" Lisa yelled as soon as she heard that Amelia wanted to know where Eldridge was.

"Deep Abyss? Heh! I don't know what you're talking about, but you seem to know something, don't you? Your prophet loves to eat people!" Amelia sneered, saying something Lisa couldn't believe.

"This is impossible!!"

Seeing that Lisa refused to believe her, Amelia had a servant remove the ring from his finger, and the servant instantly transformed into a terrifying ghost.

"This is... a wandering spirit!! You are from Londor!!" Looking at the wandering spirit in disbelief, Lisa finally realized that Amelia was not from the Deep, but from the even darker forces of the Abyss.

"Do you know why? Because my father, your grandfather, died. My grandmother, Lily, who raised me, had no choice but to join the Londor." Gradually, a hint of resentment appeared in Amelia's eyes as she looked at Lisa.

“But if it weren’t for your prophet, my father wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t have become a diplomat in Londor. I certainly wouldn’t have met Kanina, the one who took all of my father’s inheritance!”

"If the prophet killed that dark demon, forcing you to join Londor, then where did I come from?!"

"How should I know!? I want to know more than anyone where you came from, and why you're hanging out with the Deep Cathedral!?"

"I didn't!! That man is the one with the deep aura!!"

"Slap!" Because of Lisa's stubbornness, Amelia slapped her across the face!

"Your maternal grandfather was a hero who fought against the Dark Abyss!!"

Even though Lisa was in tears from the sudden slap, she refused to reveal Eldridge's location.

Seeing Lisa's stubborn refusal to repent, Amelia frowned, raised her dagger, and prepared to cut off Lisa's finger!

Just as the dagger fell from Amelia's hand, and Lisa thought she was about to lose her finger, Lu Ming suddenly appeared, grabbed Amelia's hand holding the dagger, and took the dagger from her.

“Father, what are you doing…” Amelia, whose dagger had been snatched away by Lu Ming, was stunned for a moment, then looked at her servants.

“You don’t need to blame them. If I, the hunter leader, didn’t have an intelligence source, I would have been assassinated by the nobles long ago.” Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to Amelia’s daughter, Lisa, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Do you know? You, the Prophet, injured Philna, and now she can't possibly stand up again." Looking at Lisa, Lu Ming said calmly, "I don't know what kind of person I am on your side, or whether I've been eaten by Eldridge. But I won't give up the fight! Even if I have to use forbidden techniques, I will kill him before he eats me!!"

"Pah! You deep demon!!" Lisa ignored everything Lu Ming said and instead spat at him viciously, cursing him.

"The Deep? Heh! I am the demon of the Deep? Heh heh heh! Little girl, if I am the demon of the Deep, then do you really think your prophet is a member of the Undead Legion? Are you really the first warrior of the Undead Legion?" Wiping the drool off his face, Lu Ming asked with a furious laugh.

"Of course I am!!"

Lu Ming shook his head and laughed, "You're not, and neither is he. You're just a demon who searches for human flesh for Eldridge; you don't deserve the title of warrior!"

"Impossible!! You are not the Prophet!!"

"You've met Count Lothric, haven't you?" Lu Ming asked suddenly, looking at Lisa who still refused to believe him.

"I've seen you! What's wrong?"

"You know, Count Lothric's hometown isn't as far from the Cathedral of the Deep and Farron Keep as Miracaissa, is it?"

"Know!"

"Then do you know what Count Lothric said about Count Phoenixlas Eamon and Count Dalcarrot, the two men who joined you in trying to kill me?" Lu Ming said with a strange smile, under Lisa's questioning gaze, "He said they were two fools who followed the Deep!"

"This is impossible!! You must have made this up!!"

Reaching out to touch Lisa's little face, Lu Ming smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, I can take you to Earl Lothric. Besides, you should know that he's a candidate for Lord of Cinder, so he doesn't need to listen to me at all. He would never lie to you!"

Upon hearing this, Lisa was plunged into despair. On one hand, she didn't believe Lu Ming and the others, but on the other hand, the people of Agamemnon regarded Lu Ming as a hero.

Fight against the Deep, hunt blood-healing monsters, and save Erebus and even all of Miracath.

The people of Erebus all say Lu Ming is a good person, but the education she received as a child told her that Lu Ming was the Deep Saint, a demon who eats children every day. One of the two versions must be a lie, but Lisa, like the children who came here with her, initially believed that Lu Ming was a demon, and those good versions were just a charade put on by Lu Ming to deceive people.

However, when it comes to the Holy King of Lothric, it's no longer a matter of one person's opinion. With the strength of the two princes, they have nothing to fear, not even the entire power of the Deep, and there's no need for them to speak well of Lu Ming.

So if the prince of Lothric also says this, it means that she and her other siblings were merely pawns in Eldridge's game. And those children who mysteriously disappeared weren't captured and eaten by Lu Ming because they were playing, as Eldridge claims; they were eaten by Eldridge himself!

Lu Ming slowly untied the ropes binding Lisa, reached out his hand to her, and smiled, "Let's go, I'll take you to Count Lothric to find out the truth."

"Was I really wrong?" Lisa asked murmured, looking at Lu Ming's face.

"You'll find out when you meet Earl Lothric." (To be continued.)

Chapter Twenty-Five - Blood of the Deep

Looking at Lu Ming, Lisa, and Amelia, Lothric revealed the truth that Eldridge was the Deep Saint, plunging Lisa into grief.

Seeing Lisa weeping because her brothers and sisters were being used and secretly eaten by Eldridge, Lothric sighed helplessly.

He thought to himself: 'I told you long ago, Lu Ming isn't a person of the Deep Abyss. Neither you nor those two fools wanted this, and now one is here suffering and regretting, while the other two have already returned to the embrace of the gods...'

"I think you already know that those vampires are a bit restless, right?" After leaving Amelia to take care of Lisa, Lu Ming and Lothric went to another room to talk about the vampires.

“The people of Miracath are different from us; they’re always afraid of the elves of Aifa. But their desperate measures have forced us, the foreign nobles, to clean up their mess—it’s really gone too far!” Lothric didn’t directly answer Lu Ming’s question, but it was a tacit reply.

“I don’t know what the nobles of Miracaissa are thinking. But I feel we can’t go on like this!” After taking a document out of his clothes and handing it to Locris, Lu Ming said, “This is the solution to the Haska virus. With this, we should be able to deal with the berserk monsters in the country.”

"What do you want to do?" Lothric frowned as he glanced at the contents of the document. "You don't mean you want to go hunting, do you?"

"Although it may displease the nobles, we must hunt wild beasts now. However, I am tired and want to return to my territory."

Looking at Lu Ming, who had been working tirelessly for Erebus for several months, Lothric remained silent for a while before saying, "I understand. I support you. The vampires are indeed not a good choice right now."

“My fiancée is due to give birth in two or three months. I don’t want to wait any longer. Whether it’s the vampires or the Deep, I must deal with them! So, Lothric, the nobles are in your hands.”

"I understand. Also, be careful."

"I understand." Lu Ming nodded slightly, then got up and left the room.

-----------------------------------

last night.

Eldridge was found by the vampires and welcomed to their camp, where he met the vampire queen.

"The vampire queen? How boring." Sitting in his chair, Eldridge glanced at the vampire queen who had entered the room accompanied by several maids and muttered to himself with a hint of boredom.

"What are your thoughts, Mr. Eldridge?"

"There is neither wailing nor torture here, not even a hint of cannibalism, which is completely unsuitable for me. Besides, I have no interest in your Blood Child project, so you don't need to tempt me. Because all I want to do with your body is to crush it and swallow it whole!"

Upon hearing Eldridge's words, the vampire queen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
