Back in the office, Noita sat back on the bed and looked at Wuyou who was working diligently, trying to get some information from her.
She crouched in the crook of her arms, letting the pile of papers obscure her face. She asked Wu You in a muffled voice, "Wu You, are you very busy at work?"
"No, no, I can do it!" Wu You looked up in surprise and answered subconsciously, but when he looked up, he could not see Sarah's ferocious face.
She realized the voice was coming from behind the book.
Wu You asked hesitantly, "Master Sarah, is there anything you need?"
"You don't have to call me sir, just call me by my name. I have some questions for you."
"Excuse me."
“If you get a promotion and a raise one day, where would you go?”
"I don't know. Someone said we were destined to die. Lady Lilitu said that if we survived her hand or accomplished some feats, she would send us back to Xiyue Land." Wu You said, "I'm working hard on that."
"Did the person who sent you here tell you what your specific job is?"
"No, she just handed us over to Lady Succubus. Other than that, she didn't give any extra instructions. All the tasks were assigned by Lady Lilitu, and she is the one who determines our duties."
"That's it."
When Wu You and others were sent here, they were slaves without identity and personality. Lilitu personally gave them positions, which was equivalent to a kind of honor and determined the rhythm of their future lives.
This was enough to leave a deep impression on this group of people.
Even if I spend my whole life, I will never forget this scene.
Noita knew from this that they knew nothing about their mission here.
However, the deep impression combined with the special characteristics of the extraordinary demons can enable Lilitu to use her innate ability to bewitch them from a distance. In the most extreme cases, she can use them as temporary bodies.
After Noita was promoted to Legend, he often relied on his followers to fight for him, so he was very familiar with this.
When one inquiry yielded no results, Noita started another topic.
"Have you ever read a book?"
This was a topic that even Noita herself felt was stupid, because Sarah's self-criticism was written by Wu You, and she must have received a good education.
But awkward conversation can help open up a conversation.
Unexpectedly, Wu You’s answer was “no”.
"I was once a slave, Mistress Sarah. My mistress does not allow slaves to taint precious knowledge."
"But you helped me write my self-review. The handwriting is beautiful and the logic is rigorous. If you hadn't been educated, how could you have written such words?"
"Perhaps it's life experience, sir. A slave must always learn to take responsibility for his mistakes and let others know that he truly regrets and understands the severity of his mistakes."
The whip will not be stingy with its whipping no matter whether you make a mistake or not. Only if you decisively admit your mistakes and repent can you gain forgiveness and mercy.
Noita suddenly realized something. She poked her head out from behind the pile of books and looked carefully at Wuyou, who looked like a skinny little girl. She looked no more than fifteen years old, and no more than sixteen years old at most.
Where does she get her life experience?
Lying back in his arms, Noita asked, "How old are you?"
"Twenty." Wu You answered honestly.
This twenty years old?
incredible.
Noita sighed softly, dissatisfied with Wuyou's slow growth due to malnutrition, and also annoyed at herself for not paying more attention.
Because of the difference in strength, she ignored the people around her.
"...Sir, besides my life experience, it was my talent that motivated me to complete this self-review." Wu You told Noita her secret, "Even if I don't know the words, their meaning will naturally come to me. Using this talent, I learned to read and handle my work."
This was a secret that Wu had not told Sarah, because Sarah did not care about her background, she only knew that she could help her complete the work.
Wu You didn't dare tell Sarah, for she was worried about her jealousy.
Her life as a slave taught her one thing: if a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it.
Given Sarah's temperament, Wuyou can only survive by obeying Sarah and not letting her feel threatened.
Now that he dared to say it out loud, Wuyou felt that Sarah might be dead.
Wu You saw the review written by Noita, and her keen sense of words made her immediately realize that it was written by two completely different people.
The second half is several points more beautiful and fluent than the first half, and there are no typos - even if Sarah was copying, there would be typos, but the part written by Noita with her feet is clear and bright, without any typos at all.
Sarah bullies the weak and fears the strong. Since her superiors asked her to write it by hand, Sarah would definitely write it by hand and would not dare to ask others to do it for her.
The reason for the sudden change in handwriting could be that Sarah was too bold to hire a colleague to write for her and defraud Lady Lilitu, or it could be that Sarah died quietly and the core was replaced.
Sarah's recent actions of bringing food and wine have confirmed Wu You's second half of the speculation.
No matter who replaces Sarah, he must be much better than Sarah. This is the key reason why Wu You is willing to reveal the secret.
There is no doubt that this is a gamble.
If she loses the bet, she can only choose to make a wish to the fairy godmother.
Fortunately, she won the bet.
Chapter 203: Contempt
Noita replied in a very impressive tone: "That's amazing."
Anyone could hear the perfunctory tone, but Wu You seemed oblivious. Like a child who had been encouraged, he clenched his hands and smiled shyly.
"Thank you."
Wuyou wants to make friends with the stranger who has taken over Sarah.
She thought that if she and Noita had gotten along well, achieving harmony between superiors and subordinates, she wouldn't have been beaten for no reason. That's why she revealed her secret after discovering that Sarah wasn't Sarah.
Even after being influenced by the Fairy Godmother's many extreme remarks, pleasing others is still her first choice in Wuyou's code of conduct.
The character she had developed over the past twenty years couldn't be corrected with a moment's persuasion. To change her, she had to either apply extreme pressure, crushing her mentality and rebuilding a new self from the ruins, or she had to spend even longer correcting herself.
At present, she is still humble.
Noita glanced sideways and gently closed her eyes.
When she heard Wu You's thanks, she actually felt uncomfortable and had a guilty feeling of bullying a fool.
Deep down, Noita was somewhat disapproving of Wuyou's talent.
It's just a talent for language. If it were in reality, Noita would praise her for being so great, but this is Gaia, and Noita can only say that it's useless and she still needs to practice.
The girl has revealed her true feelings, but Noita is indifferent to it, which can be said to be a waste of her true feelings.
Despite this, Noita can still satisfy Wuyou's desire to live in harmony. She has almost no desire to harm the weak and can live in peace with Wuyou until she completes her mission and leaves.
After completing the commission from the association, she will go to the Deep Dream. After all, she has already reached the depths of the dream, and it would feel like a loss if she doesn't try to explore this dungeon.
The sands of time silently slid down the funnel, and the office was as quiet as morning.
Noita didn't speak for a while. Feeling that she wouldn't make small talk anymore, Wuyou lowered his head to work, and the rustling sound of writing gradually spread.
Noita closed his eyes and rested, his consciousness rising into the gate city.
This time Shuangmeng was online, and they met in the chat room.
The beautiful lady with long orange-fire hair walked barefoot on the ground, and the soft carpet submerged her soles.
Shuang Meng smiled and stared at Noita: "I have read your intelligence. You have collected a lot of information these days. Thank you for your hard work."
Noita sat upright and nodded reservedly.
"I met a demon in the black market and happened to discover something while helping her. It was just a fluke, nothing to worry about. By the way, I saw you in the illusion in the Shaddoll before, and there was a drow with you. Are you in trouble?"
"No," Shuangmeng shook her head. "The drow master wants to negotiate a deal with the family. I'm considering opening the gates to the Cold Plains and the God's Dream. The cost will be enormous. I need to report this to the elders and let them make the decision."
Shuangmeng briefly recounted her conversation with Akanli.
Noita hesitated and asked, "Did you successfully break into the Wild Dream City?"
Shuang Meng said confidently, "This is easy. As someone who is already an insider of Lengyuan, if I come here with a letter, it will be considered a visit. Even if I am a transcendent, I will need to be personally received. Even if I come here as a private individual, the people of Huangmeng City must treat me with caution."
"However, the person I met in the illusion was the Dream Merchant I mentioned earlier. He is also an outsider. The vampires of Wild Dream City are watching and hesitating whether to contact me. At the same time, they are trying to understand my intentions with the Rose Clan. The Rose Clan is also eager to know what I want."
Noita was a little confused.
"What do you mean? The Rose Clan doesn't know your purpose either?"
Frost Dream smiled sweetly and spent a silver coin to materialize a rose with dew-covered petals. The bright red petals were closed and the stamens were hidden.
"The gatekeeper may not know what lies beyond the gate, just as a flower does not know the secrets it holds. The Rose Clan possesses a lost art that allows secrets to be hidden in blood, allowing knowledge to be passed down from generation to generation through the First Embrace, until the last descendant disappears in the torrent of time."
"The Blood Clan's current descendants have forgotten these skills, but the secrets are passed down through generations through their blood. All I need to do is capture a direct descendant and return him to Lengyuan, and I've already accomplished that."
A radiant smile continuously emanated from Frost Dream's eyes, as refreshing as ice wine on the beach in midsummer.
When Noita was still in the underground black market, Frost Dream had completed her mission and used the Gate City to send the Rose Bloodline with a nail in the heart back to the family.
The most worrying situation that the secret realm records would disappear after leaving the dream of the gods did not happen. What happened afterwards had nothing to do with her. It all depended on the skills of the technicians.
Now she was relaxed and comfortable, and she couldn't help but be unhappy.
Shuangmeng offered, "You could also try kidnapping a few blood descendants and cracking their encryption. While it's difficult to find the holy artifact, there are still many other good things in their blood. You might as well try your luck."
In a sense, the Rose Vampires are secret disciples in human form. If you are lucky enough to kill two of them and then forcefully drink their blood, you can also obtain some fragments of the secret disciples.
In the days when the Rose Bloodline was at its peak, they were both hunters and prey.
Now it's trash.
Noita shook her head and refused: "It's too much trouble. I don't have the patience or technology to crack the encryption."
This was just an excuse. Noita knew the whereabouts of the holy object in his previous life. It had been dormant in the secret library of Rongguan City for a thousand years.
This was shocking news revealed by members of the Rongguan Guild during an offline interview with reporters.
Noita has kept it in mind until now.
"Then I'll let Akanli decipher it. If there's anything extra, I'll give it to you as a friendship reward."
"it is good."
"Besides that, is there anything I can be used for? I'm pretty free lately."
Noita pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Indeed, I do. I hope you will attend the banquet in Wild Dream City and pay attention to the outsiders under Akanli's command to find out their goals."
"That's not difficult. Do you still want to stay in the underground black market?"
"No, I'll pretty much go around the city and clear out some people."
"A demon's mission?"
"Yes, they are all people who have offended the Great Devil. Sometimes I wonder how Lilitu can have so many people offend her, as she enjoys herself so much without even leaving the house."
"As long as this happens enough times, everyone in Desolate Dream City will eventually offend her. But why does it sound so much like the plot in stories where a demon lures people into the abyss by paying them to kill people?"
"It's possible, but I can't fall into the abyss."
The Abyss Demon is too ugly and its strength is not as good as Noita's construction. It is impossible for her to switch to the Abyss.
"You think it's impossible, but the demons don't know that," Shuangmeng pointed out. "Demons of the Succubus family are adept at corrupting people. They believe in their own abilities, convinced they can make heroes bow down and brave men abandon their swords. Countless classic cases in the Abyss have also fueled their confidence."
"They believe they can harness the blazing wildfire that is you."
Shuangmeng paused for a moment, then reminded him, "Besides, can you guarantee that you won't drift towards the abyss? Blind confidence is a form of arrogance, and you're already showing that tendency."
There are countless people on Gaia who have despised demons, taken them lightly, and finally fallen step by step.
Noita blinked, even if the person in front of her was Shuang Meng, she would still refute.
"I'm not arrogant, I'm confident."
ps: Wow, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep when I thought about the hen card being able to get to the seventh episode!
Chapter 204: Noita Wants to Gain Experience
Seeing Noita's confident and high-spirited attitude, Shuangmeng smiled quietly. She felt the girl's high-spirited emotions and was happy for her youthfulness.
The perfect warmth is like a dancing fire elf, which can bring joy to those around you when viewed from far or near.
"I believe you."
