Reed Manor, in a room
Shirley, who had just taken a bath, wrapped herself in a bath towel and left the bathroom.
Her face was rosy, and the skin all over her body looked particularly clear, but there wasn’t a single drop of water on her body, and even her hair showed no signs of being wet.
She raised her hands above her head and stretched.
Surely, bathing in blood is the best way to relieve fatigue, she thought, unable to help but sigh.
This habit was inherited from her mother.
It is said that her mother once enslaved hundreds of thousands of humans to build blood pools, with fresh blood injected 24 hours a day.
However, that blood pool had been abandoned a long time ago, and Shirley had never witnessed the glory of the blood pool from back then.
*Knock, Knock*
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Shirley leaned back in the soft chair and raised her legs.
She knew who it was without asking.
After all, with Karina’s personality, she would never manage to do something as polite as “knocking on the door.”
Luna opened the door, walked up to Shirley, and said, “Your Highness Shirley, all those humans have been dealt with.”
“Okay.” Shirley nodded casually, not taking the matter seriously. “Call Karina as well, we need to discuss the next plan of action.”
“Yes.”
After Luna left, Shirley put on a red and white dress and tied a large bow around her chest.
As if a cover-up could hide the fact that she had a flat chest.
“Uh… wuwuwu… wuwuwuwu… gu…”
Soon, with an inexplicable sound, the door to the room was opened again.
Luna was still the first to enter.
Behind her, Karina was pushing a cart full of freshly grilled steaks.
At the same time, she was also holding a large plate, bigger than herself, which held a whole roasted lamb...
In addition, there was a large piece of steak with a fork stuck in it.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
It seemed that the strange sound was what she made while eating.
“Uhuuu…”
Karina’s lips moved, and a mysterious sound came from her mouth.
“You called me here to discuss important matters, it’s normal to discuss while we eat, right?”
Perhaps because she knew Karina so well, Shirley understood exactly what Karina wanted to convey.
“Wowww…”
Saying that, Karina sat down in front of Shirley.
“Mm-hmm.” Shirley coughed twice, pretending to be serious, stood up, and pointed to the map she had just hung on the wall.
“Based on my calm analysis and in-depth observation of the surrounding terrain, I can be sure that we are here now!” As she spoke, Shirley confidently pointed to a small dot on the map.
“Hmm…” After a brief silence, Luna asked in the tone of a student questioning a teacher, “Is the map upside down?”
Shirley looked at the map on the wall and was silent for a while.
“Puff-puff!”
At the same time, although Karina was stuffing the steak into her mouth, she still made a very mocking sound.
“Haha!”
Shirley laughed in a strange and elegant manner.
“It’s no big deal if the map is upside down, left, right, etc, we just need to clearly know our location and not worry about other details!”
“So that’s it, your Highness Shirley’s words really make sense,” Luna clapped convincingly.
“Mm-hmm, so!” Shirley stubbornly continued to use the map upside down. “Do you see this place? This is the largest city on the map, we’re not going there; all of you should understand the reason, right?”
“Uuuuuhu”
“Yes, that’s it!” Shirley nodded in satisfaction. “The capital is definitely the most heavily defended place in humanity.”
“So, that’s where we should go next!”
Shirley pointed her finger at White Horse City, which was a short distance away and looked very prosperous.
As for why it seemed so prosperous...
Shirley felt that the icon for this place on the map was larger and looked different, so she concluded that this place was somewhat more advanced than others.
In a way, her judgment wasn’t wrong, but she didn’t know that this city had another name in the human world: White Horse Fortress.
“Uhhuuuu,” Karina asked.
“When is the departure…” Shirley thought for a moment. “It will be in three days, this timing should be more appropriate, right?”
For some reason, Shirley seemed to have something on her mind.
“Uh.” Karina responded.
“All right!” Shirley snapped her fingers. “It’s decided, we’ll leave in three days!”
...
At the same time.
At the nearest Demon Hunter Guild to Reed Manor.
“Andrew, your useless relative sent a letter!”
The rude shout came from a burly man, over two meters tall, stocky, and with a shaved head.
He slammed the letter on the table.
In front of him, a man in a large cloak was silently sipping wine.
Judging by his attire, he should be a mage, but the sword at his waist indicated that this person was a swordsman.
Slowly setting down the wine glass, Andrew picked up the envelope from the table. “I didn’t expect that guy would actually write to me…”
He murmured quietly that when it came to his useless relatives, there was only one person – Ray.
Rather than being just relatives, it was more accurate to say they were brothers.
However, due to various differences in their viewpoints and philosophies, there were some subsequent fights, which nearly led to a complete severance of contact between them.
Ray continued to be his fallen noble, while Andrew chose to become a demon hunter.
After more than ten years of training, he had become a senior demon hunter and established his own team of demon hunters.
Now, he had received a letter from Ray.
To be honest, he was still quite surprised.
He opened the envelope casually and quickly read the contents of the letter.
“Indeed…” He crumpled the letter in his hand.
“Is there something in it that makes you unhappy?” asked the bald man with a smile.
“No.” Andrew shook his head.
Although the relationship between the two was not very good, the information described in the letter was likely true, Andrew thought.
After thinking for a moment, Andrew made a decision.
“Zarik, gather everyone here, we have work to do!”
