Adeline tucked Loria's clothes into her bosom, pressing them tightly against herself.
She didn't leave immediately, but stayed by Vita's side for a while, and that's when she noticed the problem.
In the heavy rain, a person walked towards her from afar, her goal clear, heading straight for Vita.
"I never thought you'd end up like this. What, you've met your match?"
The woman laughed mockingly and finally walked up to Vita, ignoring Adeline who was squatting next to her.
"Given your performance today, you'll definitely be punished when you get back. At best, you'll suffer physical pain; at worst, you'll be executed. After all, you've rendered meritorious service. It would be too tragic if you ended up like that. Why don't I help you get away from the ugliness of this world?"
The woman's hand has an extra thorn.
She held the spike in her left hand, and gently ran her right index and middle fingers across it, her movements slow yet incredibly stressful.
"Where should I begin... coo coo coo..."
The woman was speaking when she suddenly made a pigeon-like sound, and blood trickled down her lip, all the way to the knight's sword that had pierced her neck.
"Shut up."
A clear, cold voice came through the rain.
The woman stiffly turned her head and happened to see Adeline drawing her sword back.
"Coo coo...coo!"
The moment the sword was fully withdrawn, accompanied by a gush of blood, the woman fell straight to the ground, lifeless.
Vita stared at Adeline, her eyes seeming to ask why she was helping her.
Adeline sheathed her sword: "I'm not helping you, I'm only helping Loria."
Adeline came quickly and left quickly.
After disposing of the woman's body, she left Vita's side and went back to find Loria.
The two met on the way.
Upon hearing Count Lydalia's words, Loria knew that the guild master had gone to find her, and immediately returned the way she came.
"President, are you alright?"
The chairman said, "What could possibly happen to me?"
Loria breathed a sigh of relief, but not entirely.
While the president was in good condition, Count Lydalia was not.
When she returned, she found Count Lydalia pale and unsteady on his feet. Given his strength, he would never normally be like this. Something serious must have happened.
The first thing Loria thought of was the white light that flew from Count Lydalia's body into the president's body.
As it turned out, she was right. After being questioned repeatedly by the chairman, Count Lydalia had no choice but to tell the truth.
That white light was actually the power within his body. After abandoning that power, his body was severely injured uncontrollably.
Feeling tired now is just the beginning; he will age rapidly next.
The good news is that he will not die as a result.
So what if he gets old? Count Lydalia, who was not interested in women, didn't care much about his image.
He was more concerned about another issue.
"People outside say that our family has a lineage of sword saints, and every now and then someone with the power of a sword saint will appear. In reality, this is not because our family has a particularly powerful bloodline. The key reason is that each family head would store up their power before they died, waiting for the next family head to inherit it."
Loria was stunned.
How much power has the Lydalia family accumulated generation after generation?
"This method of inheritance also has its drawbacks. It places extremely high demands on the person receiving the inheritance. The worse the person's aptitude, the more losses will occur."
"Therefore, each head of the family will carefully select and choose the final successor."
"I see," Loria nodded in agreement.
From this perspective, the power accumulated by the Lydilia family shouldn't be particularly strong, since each inheritance process consumes a considerable amount of power.
Count Lydalia continued, "These words are known only to the head of the Lydalia family and the next head of the family."
"..."
“You don’t need to feel guilty or that you’ve let Tracy down. From the very beginning, I never considered Tracy as a candidate for the next head of the family.”
"Why?" the president asked, puzzled. "It's not fair to Tracy."
Count Lydalia shook his head: "There's no such thing as fair or unfair. Tracy's personality isn't suited to be the head of the family. If I were to force her into the position, I would be harming her. The current situation is for the best."
The president was still conflicted, but Loria had completely figured it out.
Now there is another problem facing them: accepting the inheritance is not something that can be done overnight, and the process may even be dangerous.
It's just that the president has already started, so we have no choice but to bite the bullet and keep going.
Seeing that he had calmed his daughter down, Count Lydalia breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, there was something very important he hadn't told his daughter.
This method of inheritance comes from a god who pursues eternity. The first Earl of Lyderia sacrificed his life to obtain this method of inheritance.
From that day on, the Lydalia family was shrouded in the shadow of that god.
Although the gods have never asked for more, no one knows if they will one day come out to collect interest.
"Don't tell Adeline about this for now, lest she get upset."
Count Lydalia shook his head and sighed.
Afterwards, the group returned to the manor, some tending to their wounds, some resting, and others receiving the inheritance.
Loria stood by the window, gazing at the rain outside. Images of the president flashed through her mind, followed by Vita, and occasionally, scenes of spider silk automatically shattering.
"Why is that?"
She was completely baffled and could only leave the matter unresolved.
The most urgent task is to tell Count Lydalia the true purpose of the Hidden Leader and see if we can get anything out of him.
The Isolated Island Kingdom: 20. Loria, the Bridge Between Sisters [Two-in-One]
Count Lydalia was in very poor health; this time he was not faking it, but was genuinely in a state of extreme weakness.
This can be seen from the data panel that reflects the ability to recognize talent.
He originally possessed B-level strength, but now he has dropped to E-level, and his attributes have also declined significantly, reaching a maximum of only 29 points.
It is foreseeable that this is not the end of the decline. As time goes by, his attributes will eventually drop to single digits, even lower than those of ordinary people.
But when Loria met Count Lydalia, she found that he showed no sign of distress on his face.
Perhaps it was because everything he did was for his beloved eldest daughter.
“Count, I have obtained a very important piece of information.”
Loria got straight to the point.
With Count Lydalia’s permission, she revealed the information she had obtained from Vita.
Anyone with eyes can see how serious the situation is right now.
If it weren't for the rampant corruption within the current imperial government and the many people who like to put on airs and look down on ordinary people, Loria wouldn't have needed to seek help from Count Lydalia.
The count, who was resting in a recliner, nodded: "I will send someone to deliver a letter to my close friend. He holds a very important position in Wilma Province. If he reports on it, it should attract the attention of the higher-ups."
Loria could only hope that things would really turn out that way.
She had little hope for the Imperial government. In terms of resources, even if the Hidden Leader joined forces with some monsters and demons around the Empire, they would never be a match for the Empire.
But the war has been going on for almost a month, and the empire still hasn't come up with an effective solution.
This inefficiency made Loria suspect that those in positions of power might be trying to take advantage of the situation.
If that were the case, this crucial intelligence might never have reached the emperor's ears.
“I can’t control what others think or do, but I certainly can’t do nothing. The Hidden Leader has a grudge against me, and Doris, whom they want, is in my hands. I’ll make the most of the next two days to upgrade to Rank B, and then find a way to get my hands on the Enka Stone from Earl Norton.”
The seal requires four Enka Stones. As long as she can hide one of them, the Hidden Lord will be unable to release the monster from the seal.
In this way, even if the Hidden Leader still overthrows the Empire's rule, the threat she faces will be much smaller.
Without hesitation, Loria thanked Count Lydalia and returned to her bedroom.
She is 15 points short of reaching rank B, and under normal circumstances, it will take her at least five days to achieve this goal.
But Vita's appearance gave her the possibility of taking a shortcut.
"Every cloud has a silver lining. Although Count Lydalia suffered a great loss after being beaten up by Vita, in the long run, the benefits of this beating outweigh the disadvantages."
Loria quickly opened the simulator.
well.
Let me collect the interest from Vita in this simulation!
Loria the Succubus Mode is now officially available.
In order to gain more stamina as quickly as possible, Loria completely let herself go, aiming for the most wanton and chaotic behavior from the very beginning. Being a saint is difficult, but being a little beaker is too easy!
On the first day, she secretly contacted Vita, using the excuse that she wanted to retrieve her clothes.
In reality, the moment she saw Vita, she took off her little leather shoes and used her toes, covered in black stockings, to seduce Vita under the table.
Vita, who had long harbored ulterior motives, grabbed Loria's foot, and the two naturally entered the hotel. After a passionate exchange, their relationship progressed smoothly.
I'll come see you again tomorrow.
Vita said goodbye to Loria, but before she could even button up her tight white shirt after getting out of the bathtub, she was pulled back inside.
"It's over? No, it's only just begun!"
As the saying goes, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
In a fight, Loria is no match for Vita.
However, if the fight were to take place in a different location and be fought in a different way, while Vita wouldn't be as dehydrated as before, she would only be able to barely manage to cope with Loria.
