Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Chalbliss was a little confused. Aisha didn't explain much, but just nodded and said, "I wonder if you have heard the recent rumors about Dammas?"

Chalbliss showed a look of surprise.

Even if Elsa didn't say it explicitly, he understood what was going on - the Empire was here to settle the score.

But... was it that serious? It was just Alman. While Alman was certainly cunning,... why would they send someone as powerful as Elsa? So many people died every year because of the remnants of the demon clan, and I've never seen anyone like this sent out to deal with them.

"You guys don't just want to find the organization, do you? Is that your goal?"

Elsa nodded.

Chalbliss suddenly felt unlucky. How could he have happened to run into an expert from the Empire? It was clear that the opponent's original target was not him.

"If you want to find him, I can provide you with some... clues."

Chalbliss said after a slight hesitation.

He was not worried that Alman would retaliate against him, but was just testing Elsa's attitude towards Alman to judge whether Elsa was easy to get along with. His own life was at stake, and he didn't want to die.

"He's been fleeing with his organization lately. Although I heard the Empire has blocked the border, as you know, the Empire's borders are so long, and now it's a cold wave, I was able to sneak in easily with so many people. Alman may have taken the opportunity to escape, because he's been moving around, so I don't know where he is now. But don't worry, I know how to contact him, and he won't have the courage to refuse my invitation."

Chalbliss was quite confident about this. He had great prestige in the blood clan and was very powerful. He didn't take a little guy like Alman seriously.

Then, Chalbliss asked tentatively, "But...um...after I help you with your investigation, can you let me go?"

Aisha shook her head: "That depends on your performance."

Chalblis's face was bitter, but he had no room for bargaining now, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

Elsa glanced at Tricia.

Although there are some differences from the plan, the current development is unexpectedly smooth. If we can find Alman through Charlbliss, then it would be great. The only pity is that the mysterious demon has probably lost the clue.

At night, Elsa and Tricia returned to the Barony of Fisher, brought back with them Duke Chalblis and a group of vampires - the other vampires were temporarily detained. After a brief surprise, Chalblis and Alman were responsible for the task of tracking down Alman's clone.

As for the black dragon, Elsa would never let her continue looking for dragon blood in the empire. It was impossible to find it anyway, and if she kept flying around, something would happen one day, so she simply brought it here as well. Although the girl was extremely reluctant at first, shouting about "dragon blood" and "father", she stopped making a fuss when she heard that Elsa would take her to the Barony of Fisher, which was the place Duke Charlbris had tricked her into going.

Then she was brought back by Elsa, who let her stay by her side as a human girl. With Elsa watching over her, she would not cause any danger.

As for the "dragon blood", it was obvious that the girl who came to Baron Fisher's territory was disappointed. She could not feel any scent of dragon blood at all.

So she was completely depressed.

……

night.

In Elsa's room, Charlie opened her eyes wide with curiosity and kept looking at the black dragon girl wearing ill-fitting clothes - especially the pair of black dragon horns on the girl's head and the dragon tail exposed behind the girl, which made her feel particularly incredible.

Charlie had never seen a dragon, let alone one in human form; she had only heard of it in stories.

Elsa squatted in front of the girl and briefly checked her injuries. Most of these injuries were caused by Elsa. Many scales were shattered by Elsa. There were scars on the fingertips and shoulders of her hands left by the blood curse, which looked a little hideous.

Elsa covered the girl's wound with her hands and began to heal her with holy light magic.

The girl stared blankly at the holy light magic in Elsa's hand. The holy light brought warm vitality and made her feel comfortable, so she rarely resisted Elsa.

While Aisha was performing the treatment, she was observing the black dragon girl.

Compared to when she was fighting, the girl now looked much quieter, but too quiet to the point of looking a little dazed - Tricia had explained that this was because the girl had consumed too much energy in the continuous fighting, and in order to replenish this energy and repair the damage to her body, she needed to rest, so the girl's body was now in a state of shallow dormancy, so she became quiet.

To put it simply, when you are tired of fighting, you need to sleep - in fact, dragons are indeed sleepy creatures.

"What's your name?"

Aisha suddenly asked.

The girl tilted her head towards Elsa, blinked her pupils, and repeated in a childish voice, "Name?"

If you ignore the dragon horns on the girls' heads, today's girls look no different from children.

"Hey, hey, she can talk..." Charlie exclaimed softly from the side, but she seemed to think it was a bit impolite, so she quickly covered her mouth.

Tricia smiled and explained some knowledge about dragons to Charlie.

Meanwhile, Elsa was still conveying her meaning to the girl.

"Well, my name. My name is Aisha Faris. You can call me Aisha," Aisha pointed at herself and spoke slowly as if she was teaching a child to recognize words. "I am Aisha."

Elsa said, pointing at the girl again.

"What about you?"

The girl finally understood what Elsa meant, but did not answer immediately. She raised her hand and blinked. She saw that the injury on her hand had gradually recovered under the effect of Elsa's holy light magic.

She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said crisply, "My name is Ruby."

Ruby is a fairly easy to remember and normal name - Elsa thought it would be something more domineering like "Nidhoggr".

"Ruby, you can rest here tonight," Elsa said, gesturing to the room. This was the guest room that Elsa shared with Tricia and Charlie. "I'll take you back to Dragon Valley tomorrow."

Elsa didn't want to carry a dragon that was like a time bomb with her all the time. Since Tricia said it couldn't be killed, she might as well send it back.

Ruby looked at Aisha with a dazed look and no reaction until Tricia translated the same words to Ruby, and then Ruby's eyes widened.

"Dragon blood! Father!"

Ruby started yelling again.

……

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

378. Because strength allows

The next day, early morning.

Elsa's mornings were simple every day, not much different from when she was in the monastery in Weilin Town. She usually just prayed as usual and then washed up. The only difference was that now Elsa would add some light makeup on top of her appearance. It was very light, but it gave people a slightly different feeling.

Women love beauty, especially when they are in love.

At this time, Elsa was in a good mood enjoying the berries and bread sent by Baron Fisher. Elsa liked to spread some sweet sauce on them and mix them together. While eating breakfast, she was also flipping through the old books collected in Baron Fisher's castle.

I have to say that these vampires are really squandering resources. I don’t know who the original owner of this castle was, but it seems that he was a person who liked collecting. The castle is full of things that look quite old, especially the books in the study. There are so many of them, and the categories are very rich. Not to mention dozens or a hundred years ago, even if placed in now, so many books are still a valuable treasure.

Books in this world are very expensive.

But these treasures fell into the hands of Baron Fisher and became covered in dust. Many of them became moldy and damaged. Elsa discovered these books by chance. For Elsa, who had experience in modern life, these old books were like cultural relics, so she went directly to Baron Fisher to buy these books. Baron Fisher accepted the money with a look of fear, and then Elsa asked Tricia to use magic to repair some of them, and then she took them to read.

"Although most of these books contain boring and unfounded content, there are also some books on medicine, architecture, and farmland management. It can be seen that the previous lord was determined to improve this territory, but Baron Fisher doesn't seem to value it."

As Elsa flipped through the book, she felt a little confused.

"Don't these vampires value this knowledge?"

"I really love reading!" Charlie grabbed the book in her hand as if to take credit, "I read every day."

Elsa couldn't help but smile. She put down the book in her hand and pinched Charlie's face.

"You know I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Baron Fisher."

"Oh."

"After all, for vampires like Baron Fisher, magic is simpler and more convenient than practical labor. Vampires consider themselves heirs of noble bloodlines, so they naturally disdain to study basic knowledge."

Tricia explained, holding up the teacup gracefully.

"Perhaps this arrogance seems a little ridiculous to you, Aisha, but for the vampires, they would rather spend their time researching how to reach the 'end of their bloodline'."

"It's a pity, but it's understandable."

Aisha said with some regret.

There are still many people in this world who cannot even recognize a few words, let alone read. They simply do not have enough wealth to receive a certain level of education. Books and knowledge are expensive to them, but these things seem to be inferior to those who can really understand them - because they have another choice: magic. Most people will choose the latter without hesitation, just like old Joe in Ngo Village. He chose a magic book that was expensive to him for the children of the village, rather than a book that taught them how to read and understand other books.

Not everyone is like this, but it is undeniable that in this world, the existence of magic itself seems to exclude, to a certain extent, the knowledge that will become "science" in later generations - perhaps to some extent, magic can also be considered a part of science, but this world is obviously too biased.

Of course, most books are really useless to vampires, so Elsa can understand it. After all, these books look like human things.

“I think these books can be put to good use.”

Aisha said.

She wanted to try to establish a school, so in addition to the necessary facilities and teachers, carefully compiled textbooks were also indispensable. These books might be used as partial references, or at worst, they could be placed in the library for people to borrow.

"By the way, where's Ruby?"

Aisha did not continue the topic.

Tricia said, "We don't have enough food for her. I asked Alman to prepare breakfast for her. She's probably in the kitchen now."

"Do dragons eat bread or anything?"

"They eat everything, but they prefer meat. However, if they just want to replenish their energy, monster core crystals are a common choice."

It appears to be omnivorous.

Elsa imagined Ruby turning into a giant dragon and squatting in the kitchen eating and drinking to her heart's content, and suddenly felt that the chef's job was very hard. But even so, Elsa had no intention of letting Ruby leave alone. Ruby didn't want to go back to Dragon Valley, so Elsa could only take her with her for the time being.

Last night, Elsa and Tricia had already slowly told Ruby about the dragon blood. The dragon blood had actually been gone for a long time. Elsa did not want such misunderstanding to continue to ferment, but Ruby just didn't believe what Elsa and Tricia said.

Ruby seemed adamant that it wasn't necessarily her father's dragon blood, and she refused to give up the search.

Do you not believe it or do you not want to believe it?

Perhaps it was out of her natural desire to protect children, or perhaps it was out of a little bit of guilt - after all, the bottle of dragon blood was shattered in Elsa's hands, and Elsa believed that she was also responsible. In short, Elsa planned to let Ruby stay for the time being, at least it was better than letting her run around.

At this time, someone knocked softly on the door.

"My Lords, the Duke of Charlemagne wishes to see you..."

……

Early in the morning, Duke Charblis summarized his work and took the initiative to find Elsa to report the progress of the mission. His conscientious attitude immediately surprised Alman and Baron Fisher, and they felt a strong sense of crisis, because Duke Charblis was much more useful and capable than them. He was worthy of being an old monster who had lived for five hundred years. Even licking was easy for him.

When Elsa came to the reception room, she saw Charlbliss, Baron Fisher and Alman. They were all waiting for Elsa. They looked like a business manager with his two subordinates. It felt indescribably strange.

"You guys are quite diligent, coming to see me so early."

Elsa smiled. She had to say that the vampires seemed to be a very good choice for labor, because unless they were dormant, the vampires would not sleep at night. They were born to be a race that could stay up late - they could even continue working during the day.

Chalblis and the others naturally had no idea what Elsa was thinking, they just felt a sudden chill.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Lady Faris, I've sent a message back to the territory, asking someone to contact Alman..." Chalblis paused mid-sentence, glanced at Alman beside him, and continued, "...his clone is over there. I've invited him to meet. I'm sure there will be a reply in the next few days."

After a night of "in-depth discussion" with Alman, Duke Chalblis's attitude towards Elsa has now taken a 180-degree turn, from yesterday's bitter face and having to submit to the current respectful attitude.

Needless to say, Tricia's identity was no secret. Everyone living on this continent knew the name of the "Mystic Sage," Patriculosia en Serilda. As for Elsa, although Charblis, living outside the Empire and somewhat delayed in learning about her, didn't know who she was, after Alman explained it to Charblis, he simply gave up his last shred of hope.

Duke Charlbris had experienced the Demon King War, and he knew better than anyone what an achievement like "suppressing the Undead Demon General Tobias" meant. It was an extremely powerful force that surpassed the previous generations of brave men, saints, and sages, and any one of these three was much more powerful than him.

It has to be said that time and memory are very precious treasures. As a race with a long lifespan, Chalbliss's oldest memory can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the empire five hundred years ago. Not only the saints and heroes of previous generations, he has seen too many powerful people standing at the top of this continent, and he is also very clear about the gap in strength between him and these people, so he naturally will not make mistakes.

Aisha asked, "Can't you just take us to him?"

"This..." Chalbliss seemed a little embarrassed.

"Lady Faris, my clone is very cunning. He must have feared retaliation from the Empire and left the organization's original base a long time ago," Alman said, speaking to Charbliss's rescue. "Baron Fisher and I have sent people to investigate various places over the past few days, but we haven't found anything."

"Well, so be it."

Elsa didn't care. She didn't think this could be done in one day anyway. The means of information transmission in this world were still too underdeveloped. Using magic to transmit just a few characters across a distance of thousands of miles was already the limit. Using the power of the earth veins like Tricia to transmit messages across the distance of a province or even across the continent was even more incredible for ordinary people.

"So, have you compiled the list of other cadres I asked you to collect?"

"Of course, with the help of His Excellency the Duke of Charlbliss, we compiled the list last night."

Alman said, not forgetting to flatter Charlbliss, and then handed a thick stack of papers filled with words to Aisha.

"But this list might be incomplete. The leader has always been wary of us, so I've only met a handful of the cadres. Plus, some have left the organization since then, so I'm not sure how useful this list is now..."

Some cadres are hiding in the dark, while some have left the organization. In addition, not all cadres have their own fixed territories like Baron Fisher. Some cadres often wander around human settlements under different identities, which makes it even more difficult to find them.

Vampires are very similar to humans in appearance, and with a little disguise, they become difficult to identify.

Elsa took a quick look. The lists contained detailed information about the cadres. Although it was not easy to find these cadres, it might be easier with the help of other information. It was obvious that Alman and Baron Fisher did not "cut corners" in this regard.

But it doesn’t matter. The follow-up work will be handed over to the Empire anyway. I just don’t know if Stikia will find it a headache.

Thinking of Stikia, Aisha shook her head.

"Which of these guys are more dangerous?"

Aisha asked again.
