I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

This time, the Spring Jade Butterflies looked like a bouquet of six white snowflakes, but when Eve reached out to pick them, they suddenly exploded into countless fluttering butterflies, trying to slip away from her hands.

I didn’t expect that the word “jade butterfly” in the name of the material actually has two different meanings, one implied and the other literally.

However, this little change naturally did not pose any difficulty for Eve. She easily caught the butterflies that wanted to escape and gathered them together again to form the original bouquet of snowflakes.

Hmm, Spring Jade Butterfly GET

DAZE!

But before the two of them could celebrate, the island in the middle of the lake where they were suddenly turned into a forest in late summer. A small path stretched through the dense forest, and no one knew where it led.

"Master Brave? What's going on?"

The location they were in suddenly changed without any warning. Istina seemed a little alert and immediately prepared for a fight.

"Um... let me see..."

As for Eve, she seemed a lot more relaxed. After all, she knew that a large-scale concept replacement had just taken place.

But she didn't know what exactly what had just happened meant, so she took out the letter again and began to look for the special circumstances described in the appendix.

Because the situation in the Courtyard of Creation is quite changeable, the elves wrote down the common situations in the first half of the letter, and listed a number of occasional phenomena in the latter part.

In order to save time, Eve only read the first half and glanced at the second half. Who would have thought that they would actually encounter such a special situation.

"Yeah, yeah, okay Tina, it's just a normal situation."

After scanning around for a few times, Eve finally saw a few key words. After reading them, she signaled to Istina that she didn't need to be so vigilant.

"Normal situation?"

"It says that sometimes after obtaining the Spring Jade Butterfly, you'll be sent directly to the area representing summer. The reason is unknown, but we don't seem to have time to discuss this in detail right now..."

As she spoke, Eve looked up at the sky, which had grown gloomy at some point, and raised her hand to open a transparent barrier above their heads.

Rumbling--

The next moment, a loud thunderclap resounded through the sky, followed by a rainstorm.

Needless to say, the material of this rainwater is also not quite right. At least normal rainwater should not be able to penetrate anything.

The falling rain seemed to be non-existent, sinking directly into the trees, grass, and the ground beneath the feet of the two people, leaving no trace, as if the heavy rain was just an illusion.

"My dear hero, is it true that we cannot encounter this rain?"

Looking at the barrier above her head and the strange rain outside, Istina asked curiously.

"That's not true."

Eve waved her hand and continued.

"This kind of rain can penetrate anything that isn't made of pure magic."

Eve pointed to the barrier above their heads and explained why the barrier magic could block the rain that seemed to be able to penetrate objects.

"For humans, it's neither good nor bad. Just like they eventually sink into the ground, nothing happens when they get wet. But well..."

Eve kept the topic a little bit in suspense at this point.

"Although you won't get really wet, this kind of rain will give you the feeling of being in a rainstorm. Even though you're dry all over, you'll feel like you're soaked. So it's better to block it out. After all, feeling wet all over is a bit uncomfortable."

However, even though Eve explained for a long time, Istina's eyes were already circled, and she obviously didn't follow what Eve was saying.

This is not surprising, after all, Istina has no knowledge of conceptual matters.

"Anyway, let's keep going. The letter says that the weather in this area is very changeable, just like a real summer. Who knows when this rain will stop."

As she spoke, Eve took Istina's hand and walked towards the depths of the forest.

§205 The Undercurrent (Part 1)

After Eve and Istina entered the wonderland together, the time for the elven festival was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, various forces on the continent also began their actions.

——Elves——

"Tell me about yourselves, how are your preparations going?"

In the residence of the Elves' Mother Melceris, she was gathering with several White Elves, preparing for the upcoming festival that was destined to be restless.

"Everything is normal at the border with the Orcs. No signs of human smuggling have been detected. Since we increased manpower and tightened the patrol network, we haven't seen any slave-hunting teams attempting to intrude for a long time."

"We will continue to strengthen our defenses in the near future. They will take action to distract us."

"Yes!"

After the first person took the order, the others also began to talk about the work they were responsible for.

"The three-layer defense network inside the royal court has been established. We can deploy a demiplane transfer battlefield at any time."

"The large-scale transfer array in the royal court has been set up and can be activated at any time."

"The patrol team outside the Royal Court has not found any unusual activity recently and is currently investigating whether there are any hidden areas."

Hidden Area, this is the name of the method used by the Demon God's followers to hide their base outside the city of Ferenor.

After receiving Eve's reminder, Melceris dispatched an army to the dangerous place of Warcraft near the blue sky to obtain the principle of this hiding method. Then the golden elves began to analyze it intensively and finally completed the counter-exploration before the festival.

Next, as long as they explore the surrounding areas of the World Tree Royal Court, they won’t have to worry about the abyss appearing under their noses.

But the strange thing was that their army had been prepared for battle before heading to the dangerous area. After all, Eve said that the hidden area was the lair of the monster, so Melceris naturally dispatched elite troops, with the mentality of destroying the monster and obtaining the hiding method.

But the strange thing was that they didn't see the shadow of the monster until the end. Maybe it was scared by the noise of the army approaching and hid somewhere else.

However, the elves still applauded the fact that a battle was avoided.

After all, the opponent is a monster that can be called a dangerous place. If a real battle breaks out, there is a high possibility of casualties on their side.

"Continue to strengthen the demiplane. It needs to be strong enough to withstand the damage caused by the full-scale battle between Her Excellency Elizabeth and me. At the same time, prepare to build additional demiplanes. The strength requirements remain unchanged."

"Yes!"

"continue."

Melceris said as she looked towards the next white elf.

"The World Tree has completed its preparations for the transfer and is ready to activate at any time."

"Ah."

The World Tree is the lifeline of the elves. Melceris suspected that the target of the demon's followers this time might be the World Tree.

But the trouble is that the World Tree has been rooted here for a long time and it is no longer so easy to remove it.

Even if it is really moved away, it will damage the World Tree, which will directly lead to a sharp drop in the production of World Tree fruits needed for the reproduction of the elves for a long time.

So for now, she just ordered people to make the best preparations and not to use it if possible.

"Okay, everyone, please step aside."

""yes! ""

After the remaining white elves took turns reporting for a while, Melceris nodded slightly, indicating the end of the meeting, and everyone left and began to continue to carry out the orders just given.

Only Merceris was left sitting there worriedly.

Although she had made almost all the preparations she could, there was still a hint of gloom in her heart.

According to the intelligence intercepted by the vampires, the followers of the Demon God seem to have successfully helped the revived Demon God's will find one or more suitable hosts and completed the possession. They plan to use the elves' festival as a stage to announce the return of the Demon God's will to all the races on the continent.

Although the power of these possessed bodies cannot be compared with the demon god who destroyed the world in the past, after all, the body's own carrying capacity is limited, and if too many are stuffed in, it will just explode, but the opponent's advantage is the number, and the ability to use themselves as a bomb.

After all, it is just a possession, and no matter how it dies, it will not have any impact on the will of the demon.

As to how much power these possessed bodies can exert and how long they can exert it, it remains a mystery.

The most troublesome thing is the possible abyss pollution.

The good news is that thanks to the existence of the vampire princess Eve, they are no longer helpless in the face of the abyss, but the bad news is that once Eve goes all out, it is hard to say which side will cause more damage, she or the body possessed by the demon's will.

According to Elizabeth, when Eve used Death Nova to eliminate Zero for the first time, she blew a crater almost as big as half of the World Tree Royal Court in a demiplane that was strong enough to withstand the full force of someone of their level, and directly destroyed that demiplane.

If possible, Melceris definitely didn't want that scene to actually happen in the Elf Forest.

Although Elizabeth and Bestia will be present at the ceremony, it remains unknown whether the three of them can stop Eve's destructive power together.

After all, Bestia is completely useless in this regard, so it still depends on her and Elizabeth to hold them off.

Unlike when she was destroying the abyss, Eve might not have the time to hold back during the battle.

By then, can she really withstand the power that destroys everything?

Recalling the purple-black magic power that wiped out everything when the abyss was destroyed, Melceris couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It's a bit funny to say, but what she is most worried about now is not the enemy who is the embodiment of the demon's will, but Eve, her teammate.

After all, judging by the power Eve displayed, if she were to attack with all her strength and cooperate with the three of them, it would not be a problem to eliminate the entity that possessed the will of the demon god.

But if they really did that, most of the Elf Forest would probably be blown away.

If I could do that...

I hope that Lady Shizu won't have to intervene...

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind Melceris.

"Sister Merceris?"

The one who appeared here was Melchis, and the way she addressed the Mother of Elves was quite interesting. Unlike the respectful adult that other elves addressed her, she addressed her more like a sister who was more intimate.

Needless to say, this was naturally what Merceris meant.

"what happened?"

The moment she looked at Melchis, the worry on her face disappeared.

"Sister seems worried?"

"..."

In response to Melchis's question, Melceris was silent for a moment. There was no point in denying it because Melchis could directly feel the true thoughts of the people around her.

"yes…"

She sighed softly, but the next moment, a strong will was once again infused into Merceris's words.

"But, I will definitely protect you this time."

"?"

§206 The Undercurrent (Part 2)

——Blood Clan——

Since it has been traced that the followers of the Demon God will launch an attack around the time of the Elves' festival, and there is a high possibility that there will be bodies possessing the Demon God's will mixed in, Elizabeth, as one of the top military forces on the continent, will naturally go to help according to the agreement signed by all tribes that year.

Apart from anything else, if Elizabeth is there, at least she can use her blood relationship with Eve to block a lot of the aftermath of the destructive magic, so Eve doesn't have to be too timid.

What happened outside the city of Ferenor is still fresh in their minds, and they don’t think that the demon followers will not use the same tactics again this time.

After all, the trick doesn't have to be new, as long as it works.

The other party will definitely not let go of the extremely troublesome and disgusting means of the Abyss, not to mention that this time there is an additional body possessing the will of the demon god.

However, although she would definitely lead the army to help, she also had to guard against the hidden dangers within the vampire clan.

It’s okay to help others, but it’s a bit too much to help them to the point of giving away their own foundation.

Therefore, before setting off, Elizabeth also needed to do some preventive work, such as quietly mobilizing troops to surround the territories of those bloodline clans, and then protecting the area around the imperial city.

And now she is making final preparations with her confidants.

"Have you noticed anything unusual around the Imperial City? Especially, have you found any shielded areas?"

In the study of the inner castle, Elizabeth looked at the map in front of her and asked while tapping her fingers lightly on the table.

"After you ordered the Imperial City to enter secondary combat readiness, we have inspected every inch of the area around and within the Imperial City and found nothing unusual."
