I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

A thousand years have passed...

It's so exaggerated that it no longer feels real...

If she had slept for a hundred or two hundred years, she might have been surprised, but when the time came to a thousand years, she was a little at a loss.

"How is it? Is it okay? Do you want to continue later?"

Looking at Filier in front of her with concern, who looked a little dazed, Eve asked softly.

“…No, please continue.”

But Filier was, after all, a brave warrior who had once carried the hopes of the entire world to defeat the demon god. She quickly suppressed the turmoil in her heart and spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay, and then there's the state of the world right now."

Eve then narrated in chronological order what happened after she fainted at the top of the abyss, the outbreak of the first abyss wave, the formation of the Far West Front and the agreements between the various races, and finally the current situation of the human race.

"So, to avoid a recurrence of the first wave, the human race migrated to the southeast of the continent. The human race was the only race that did not participate in the Far West Front."

Then Eve summoned Ilvia and continued.

"Viya and I felt the call from Ilvi not long ago, so we went to Biluo to rescue you."

"I see... Thank you very much for your help."

Although she was too weak to stand up, Filial still bowed her head solemnly to Eve to express her gratitude.

"Ah, you don't need this. Without your hard work back then, we wouldn't be here anymore."

Eve leaned forward slightly to help Filier up and said solemnly.

But after Filial appeared, Eve changed the subject and put on a serious look. She reached out and took a notebook she brought with her, and also took out a map.

"But you might need to be mentally prepared for the next part, because it might be a little hard for you to accept."

Hearing the implication of Eve's words, even Filier, with her temperament, couldn't help but frown.

Even when Eve told her that she had been sleeping for a thousand years, she was not so serious.

"Please go ahead."

After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Feilier nodded.

"That's about the current situation of the human race."

As she spoke, Eve placed the map in her hand on the table and began to gesture for Filier.

"This is the area where the human race is now, and it borders the blood race here."

As she spoke, Eve drew a picture at the location of the Fallen Field, and then continued to introduce it.

"For some reason, the human race seems to have lost track of the agreement on the Far Western Front. Therefore, long ago, the human race has been trying to expand westward through the blood race's territory. However, because the blood race is stronger than the human race, this plan has never been truly implemented, and the two sides have been in a state of stalemate."

"Um…"

Nodding with some difficulty, Filier signaled Eve that she could continue. After all, the real bad news should not be this.

"According to the investigation of the blood clan and my personal experience, the human race is now deeply connected with the followers of the demon god. These are the evidence."

Boom——

It was like a bolt from the blue. Feilier froze in place like a statue, unable to even hear what Eve said next...

After sleeping for a thousand years, when I woke up again, everything had changed...

§37 Where to Go

How does it feel to be betrayed by the very race you're supposed to protect?

Feilier felt that she was now very qualified to answer this question.

However, she didn't know that among the people present, Eve was also qualified to discuss this issue with her. One of them was indirectly backstabbed, while the other was simply stabbed by her teammates. They complemented each other, and maybe they could even exchange experiences?

Looking at Fili'er with a dazed look in her eyes, Eve tactfully stopped talking for the time being and put away the file book that had been opened. Now let her be quiet for a while.

After a few minutes of silence, Filial finally came back to her senses, but this time the light in her eyes was much dimmer, which made Eve feel distressed and she felt a bit of empathy.

If it weren't for the double blow of amnesia and awakening of past life memories, I might have become like this.

"Eve...please...give me evidence."

Even though Eve had already said something after she lost consciousness, she still opened the file book in her hand again this time and told Filier the records in it one by one.

To be honest, these are the less exciting events that she and Istina have selected. Some of the things that have been selected are really sensational. If they are told in full, it is probably enough to stop a child from crying at night.

"...So not all humans have joined the Demon God, right?"

After listening to Eve's story, Fili's eyes regained some of their spirit and she asked eagerly.

"That's right."

As she spoke, Eve took out a map of the human race, spread it on the table and continued speaking.

"There are currently four nations within the human race, as well as a force that, while not a nation, can be considered one."

After pointing out the Theocracy, the Empire, the Land of Wealth, and the Land of Travelers on the map in turn, Eve pointed to the lawless land between the Empire and the Land of the Fallen.

"Among them, the Theocracy and the Traveler Kingdom aren't heavily involved with the Demonic forces, but the Kingdom of Wealth and the Lawless Land are practically aligning with the Demonic followers. As for the final Empire, it's the most troublesome. Although the forces below it don't have much to do with the Demonic followers, their emperor has chosen to cooperate with them. While the blood clan hasn't been able to investigate the extent of this cooperation, it's not optimistic."

"...I want to see for myself the current situation of the human race."

After thinking for a while, Fili looked at Eve in front of her and said solemnly.

"I knew you would say that."

Eve flipped through the information book to the end and handed it to Filier.

"Thinking about the situation in the Land of Wealth and the Land of Lawlessness is too... exciting. It might not be suitable for you to watch it now."

After carefully considering her words, Eve used a more obscure word to describe the situation in those two places, and then continued.

"So I recommend you go to the Empire. These locations are all places where the vampires have found abnormalities and are preparing to conduct detailed investigations. Below the locations is a brief introduction to the situation there. You are free to choose which place to go."

Then Eve added another sentence.

"Of course, if you don't want to go anywhere, you can just point to a random place on the map."

“…No, I’ve already made my choice.”

As she spoke, Fili took out a piece of paper and handed it to Eve.

"Ah, this one does sound like something you would choose."

"Then Eve, can you tell me some details about this place? Why is it possible that a town where everyone is so happy is related to the devil's followers?"

That’s right, this is why Fili chose this place.

Because the information Eve gave her showed that this town was a place where everyone lived extremely happily, but the Vampire Secret Guards judged that this place was very likely related to the devil's believers, and awaited further investigation.

According to common sense, shouldn't the followers of the demon god spread despair and suffering? How can they make everyone there happy?

"Although the specific circumstances still require further investigation, this is based on common sense. After all, is it possible to make everyone happy? Or is this normal? Even if we ignore other accidents, birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable. If your family or friends died, would you feel happy?"

After a pause, Eve continued.

"So, if something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Even if it's not a follower of the demon god, there's probably something else behind it. And followers of the demon god have been spotted there before."

After handing the information back to Filier, Eve asked finally.

"So, have you decided to go here? If so, we'll leave once you've recovered a bit."

"Well, I'll leave it to Eve."

"Nothing. By the way, I might bring a travel companion with me. She'll also be a human child, very well-behaved. You should like her very much."

"Travel companion? He's just a child, won't that be a problem?"

In Fili's opinion, it is not appropriate to involve irrelevant people in investigating such a secret.

"Don't worry, the situation in this place is quite special. If you choose any other place, I won't take her there."

"Is that so...Okay then."

Because the event chosen by Filial didn't seem that exciting, Eve thought of taking Lucia along. It just so happened that she hadn't taken Lucia out for a walk for a while.

As for the safety issue, if you don't delve into the secrets of this town, it is still very safe. According to intelligence, it is even a popular place to relax. After all, the atmosphere of a place where everyone is happy regardless of the means is naturally very good.

Although they were going to explore the secrets hidden behind the town, Eve was confident that she could fight back even if the demon's will came in person, so there would naturally be no problem.

Anyway, for Eve, things that can be directly eliminated by force have never been a problem.

On the contrary, it was the heart disease that gave her more headaches. Fortunately, Feilier was not devastated by the current situation on the human side, otherwise she would really have a headache.

"Then let's stop here for today. We'll set off once you can move freely, okay?"

"Yeah, no problem."

"So, do you want to continue watching this? Honestly, for your own mental state, it's best not to watch too much."

Eve asked, pointing to the file in her hand before standing up.

Despite going through a wave of screening, these will probably still be a big blow to Filier at this moment.

"…Please stay. I'll pay attention."

"…All right."

Eve put the file in her hand back in front of Filier and nodded.

"If you need anything, just tell the maid who is taking care of you. I hope you will recover soon."

"Um...thank you."

§38 The day before departure

"Oh, right."

Before leaving the room, Eve suddenly turned around and looked at Fierer, who was staring at the document book in front of her in a daze.

"Regarding what happened to you...um...if you want to talk to someone, you can come to me. After all, I have some opinions on this matter, or rather, I have experience."

As she spoke, Eve showed Filier the mark of the holy sword on the back of her hand, as if hinting at something, and then left the room.

“…experienced?”

Feeling the hidden meaning behind Eve's words, Filier was stunned for a moment and then immediately turned the file in her hand to the part related to the human warriors.

She had just heard Eve explain the relationship between Ilvi and Ilvia. Ilvia, who was supposed to be contracted by humans only once a hundred years, appeared in the body of a vampire like Eve. There must be some story behind it, but before she could ask Eve, she was shocked by the news that humans were colluding with the devil's believers, so she forgot to ask.

"Found it. The last human who contracted Ilvia died... a little over three years ago?"

When Feilier saw the records in the document, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"So what was the final outcome of that generation of heroes..."

Swish--

With the sound of flipping papers, Fili quickly flipped to the end of the information in her hand, but what was written on it was a simple sentence: 'After being betrayed by teammates, he was defeated by the Blood Queen and died. It is suspected that there were demon believers behind it.'

"Hmm? Is that all?"

Looking at the information in the document, Filier frowned immediately. Her intuition told her that there must be some hidden secret.

After all, this doesn't explain why Ilvia is being contracted by the vampire princess.

At this moment, a card suddenly fell out from between the pages of the book. It seemed to be sandwiched in the part that recorded the last hero.

"Huh? What is this?"

"This is what happened to me—Eve."

There was only such a simple sentence written on the card, but Feilier immediately understood its meaning.

"This is truly...sympathy..."

They all fought to protect humanity, but were all abandoned by the people they protected. No wonder she finally said that she had some experience.
