Chapter 163: Loria, The Bridge of Communication Between Sisters
Count Lidilia's health is very poor. This time, he is not pretending, but really sinking into extreme weakness.
You can see this from the data panel returned by Insightful Perception.
Originally possessing B-level strength, he has now dropped to E-level, and all his attributes have declined significantly, with a maximum of only 29 points.
It can be foreseen that this is not the end of the decline. As time goes by, his attributes will eventually fall to single digits, even lower than an ordinary person.
But when Loria saw Count Lidilia's face, she couldn't see any signs of distress.
Perhaps it's because everything he does is for the sake of his beloved eldest daughter.
"Count, I have obtained a very important piece of information."
Loria got straight to the point.
With Count Lidilia's permission, she revealed the information she had gathered from Vita.
Anyone with sharp eyes can clearly see how serious the situation is right now.
If it weren't for the corrupt practices within the current imperial government and the fact that many people like to show off and look down on ordinary people, Loria wouldn't need to ask for help from Count Lidilia.
Count, sitting on the lounge chair, nodded and said, "I will send a message to my close friend who holds a significant position in the Willma Province. With his report, it should catch the attention of higher authorities."
Loria could only hope that things would really develop in this way.
She didn't have much hope for the imperial government. In terms of strength, even if the Hidden Leader united with some monsters and demons around the empire, they would never be a match for the empire.
But it had already been almost a month since the war started, yet the empire still hadn't come up with an effective response plan.
The inefficiency of it all made Loria suspect that those in power were only interested in their own gain.
If that was indeed the case, it was very likely that this important information would never reach the emperor's ears.
"I can't control what others think or do, but I definitely can't sit idly by. The Hidden Leader has a grudge against me, and they want Doris who is in my possession. I will use these few days to quickly increase my rank to B-level and then find a way to get the Stone of Enka from Count Norton."
To release the seal, you need four Enka Stones. As long as she can hide one of them, the Hidden Leader cannot release the monster inside the seal.
This way, even if the Hidden Leader still tries to overthrow the empire, the threats she encounters will be much smaller.
Without hesitation, after expressing gratitude to Count Lidilia, Loria returned to her bedroom.
She needed 15 more points of endurance to reach Level B. Normally, it would take her at least five days to achieve this goal.
But Vita's appearance gave her the possibility of taking a shortcut.
"Although Count Lidilia suffered a great loss after being beaten by Vita, like they say, there's a silver lining in every cloud. In the long run, the benefits of taking this beating outweigh the drawbacks."
Loria quickly opened the simulator.
Very good.
Let me, Miss Loria, reclaim what is rightfully mine from Vita in the simulation!
Loria, in succubus mode, officially started.
In order to quickly gain more stamina, Loria let herself go and did whatever she wanted from the beginning. It's hard to be a saint, but being a little troublemaker is too easy!
On the first day, she secretly contacted Vita, making an excuse to get her own clothes back.
As soon as she saw Vita, she took off her little shoes and seduced Vita with her feet wrapped in black stockings under the table.
Vita, who had already had improper thoughts, grabbed Loria's foot and they naturally went to a hotel. After some passionate conversation, things naturally progressed.
"I'll come see you tomorrow."
Vita said goodbye to Loria, but as soon as she got out of the bathtub, before she could fasten the buttons on her tight white shirt, she was pulled back.
"Is it over? No, it's just beginning!"
As the saying goes, once the bow is drawn, there's no turning back.
When it comes to fighting, Loria is no match for Vita.
But if they were to fight in a different way, although Vita is not as strong as before, she still manages to handle Loria.
On the second day, Loria took Vita to visit the guildmaster, who was adapting to her new powers.
In the dimly lit room, she warmly held the guildmaster's hand, expressing that Vita had found her and turned away from the dark side.
"With Vita's help, we can definitely stop the Hidden Leader's cruel actions!"
The guildmaster nodded appreciatively.
It's good, really good.
Only Vita turned her face away in shame, too afraid to meet the guildmaster's gaze, afraid that the guildmaster might see something in her eyes.
You, you're just too young. the guildmaster is not an expert in this area, how could she see anything?
In the simulation, Loria was completely calm.
Not only was she calm, but she followed the philosophy of "if you're seeking excitement, then go all the way."
When the guildmaster eagerly accepted the inheritance, she grabbed Vita and found a quiet place to get things done before leaving the mansion.
"No, you can't."
"Even though you say no, deep down you're pretty excited."
"It will be discovered."
"Just focus on what's below your belt, don't overthink it. the guildmaster is receiving the inheritance, she won't be able to discover anything."
It turned out that Loria in the simulation was right.
Not to mention that the place where she and Vita are now is tens of meters away from the guildmaster, even if there's only a wall separating them, the guildmaster wouldn't be able to find out.
But she still missed one thing.
The guildmaster didn't notice, but Tracy, who had been feeling a bit down lately, did.
With a sweaty right foot lifted high, it deeply caught Tracy's attention.
"I, I, I..."
Tracy was completely confused. She never expected that going out for a walk would lead to such a sight.
However, what happened next was even beyond her imagination.
Loria, instead of being startled, gracefully put her leg down and openly walked over to hold Tracy's hand.
"You came at the perfect timing!"
"Eh, eh, eh, don't include me. I don't want to do something like this."
"Nonsense! I can see that you are eager to try, otherwise why would you keep looking down? Isn't it because you want to..."
"I didn't."
"Still denying it!"
The pure and innocent Miss Tracy quickly fell in love.
The crisis was resolved, but Vita, who was helping on the side, wasn't very happy.
It was clearly her who came first, and it was clearly a moment she should have enjoyed alone.
"Hey hey hey, could this plot turn into a day at the manor?"
Loria, outside the simulator, looked confused, and what happened next made her even more dumbfounded.
In the simulation, she had planned to devour the countess through Tracy. She had put in a great deal of effort to corrupt Tracy and make Tracy unable to be without her.
Her plan's first half went perfectly.
At first, Tracy resisted a little bit, but later on, she willingly upgraded her gameplay.
"Even though big sister is great, little sister is not bad either."
Loria nodded with a smile.
Although big sister is also reserved, she prefers to pout at her rather than be pouted at by her.
"Watch me surround the guildmaster and then defeat her in one move!"
She proudly raised her chin.
In the next moment, a new simulation appeared.
After subtly expressing her desire to spar with the countess, Tracy didn't go to find the countess, but went straight to the guildmaster instead.
Asking is like tattling.
Her tattling was also very straightforward.
"Loria confessed her feelings to me, I agreed, and we did everything we could, but she secretly started dating Vita behind my back and even planned against Mom. Sister, you have to take my side!"
"？？？"
Loria was shocked and stood up from her chair.
What are you saying, Tracy? How could your usually warm lips, which are always close to mine, say such cold lies?
So annoying.
Loria was getting really upset.
Though the guildmaster wasn't a fan of meddling in siblings' relationships and didn't have a great relationship with Tracy, she immediately stood up upon hearing this.
With her greatly enhanced abilities, she chased Loria until she ran off and ended up on a dead-end street.
She pressured Loria not to cause trouble anymore. Since she had already confessed her feelings to Tracy, she should stay with Tracy and not go hunting around.
[You could see that the guildmaster was struggling. She hesitated for a long time before finally saying that you could continue to be with Tracy.]
"..."
In the simulation, Loria didn't give up so easily. She cried out, accusing Tracy of lying.
The guildmaster challenged her, saying that even if Tracy lied, she still did a lot of bad things, didn't she?
Loria's acting skills exploded, as she quickly sat down like a duck and put on a pitiful appearance.
So what should she do? She didn't want things to be this way either.
But that's just the kind of person she is. If she doesn't have anything lewd in a day, her epilepsy will act up.
"You behave so recklessly with a body like yours!"
"I also want to stay with Tracy or Vita peacefully, but their bodies are too fragile, so I have to stop. What I'm doing now is not betraying their feelings, but for their own good. the guildmaster, do you really want to see me sitting on them and shouting for them to get up, only to find them suddenly out of breath?"
The guildmaster was stumped by this question.
If there really is a problem with the body, then Loria's approach is understandable.
It just doesn't feel good in the heart.
The cunning Loria saw the guildmaster falling into deep thought, and suddenly started rolling on the ground, making a very alluring sound.
This immediately caught the guildmaster's attention.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I (reaching down with hand), it's nothing, I'm fine (forcibly pulling hand back), really (hand reaching down again)... I'm really fine (hand pulling back again)."
The guildmaster instantly understood what Loria meant.
She led Loria into her newly carved cave with a sword.
The events that happened afterward don't need to be explained in detail. Loria, who succeeded in her scheme, now led a public life with Tracy and Vita, and secretly bonded with the guildmaster.
Because the guildmaster was constantly watching, although she wanted to make a bigger impact, she couldn't muster the courage.
Finally, in their fulfilling daily lives, Hidden Leader infiltrated the imperial capital and used the collected Stone of Enka to break the seal.
The simulation ends here, without further details.
"What a pity."
Loria couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
In the simulation, either she was too impatient, or if she had eaten Miss Plump Sheep and Lady Luciene before going after the countess, even if the subsequent plot unfolded the same, she could have gained some extra endurance.
Loria was not worried about the guildmaster this time.
She doesn't have time to care about this right now.
Besides, this time the guildmaster really got her back, even though Loria still blamed the guildmaster, she only blamed her twice. Compared to before, that was a huge step back.
And one of them was the guildmaster's sister. In a way, she sacrificed herself, mediating between the guildmaster and Tracy, allowing them to communicate.
If she could try harder and create a means of communication between the guildmaster and her stepmother, the countess, then everyone would be happy.
"Getting 3 endurance points is not bad at all."
Loria quickly immersed herself in the next simulation. In addition to the simulation, she also found time to read Liu Beiwen's book and put on her magic-powered massagers on her feet, ensuring that her body remained in a relaxed state.
This way, she could fully take advantage of the passive effect of Dark Moon Girl's transformation to enhance her abilities.
Finally, at ten o'clock on the second night, Loria successfully accumulated 15 endurance points and welcomed a new opportunity for advancement.
"Let me see what kind of job I can change into this time."
Loria took out her ID card and clicked on job recommendations.
[After evaluating your talents and attributes, the profession that suits you best is...]
[1: Dark Moon Prophet]
[2: Enchanting Enigma]
[3: The Black Knight]
After reading the career advice, Loria was surprised, "Oh, there's no geisha profession this time?"
But soon she realized that the Enchanting Demon was actually similar to a geisha because the main way to increase strength in this profession was to be promiscuous and go around causing mischief. The more mischief she caused, the faster her strength would increase.
"What is this?"
Loria felt a bit speechless, not because she looked down on this profession, but because she had done a lot of this kind of thing in simulations.
The problem is, whether it's the Priestess of the Dark Moon or the Dark Moon Prophet, they can become stronger by doing bad things, and they also have special abilities that many mesmerizing creatures don't have.
"Only someone with a normal brain wouldn't choose a mesmerizing creature, right?"
Loria looked at the Black Knight again.
The Black Knight is a dark profession that gains tremendous power by tormenting themselves.
Nah.
Loria would rather play with magical toys for twenty-four hours straight than do such a harsh job that involves sacrificing her heart and lungs.
"This thing is clearly trying to tempt me to become a Dark Moon Prophet."
Despite saying that, Loria could only change jobs and become a Dark Moon Prophet.
The Dark Moon Prophet inherited the talents of the Dark Moon Priestess, the "Dark Moon Maiden·Enhanced", and "the Crowd of Dark Moon", as well as skills like "Dark Moon Heart". In addition, it gave Loria a bunch of new skills.
For example, "Succubus Eye" was replaced with "the Eyes of Dark Moon".
After using this skill, which consumes 10% of her spirit, Loria can fully control targets with lower spiritual attributes and make them indulge in desire, lasting up to 15 minutes without cooldown.
There is also a certain chance of success when using the skill on targets with higher spiritual attributes.
Apart from that, Loria also gained the active attack skill "the Legacy of Dark Moon", the skill to create illusionary shadows called "Masquerade of the Moon", the prayer skill "Prophet's Experience", and the prayer skill "Shadow".
The effect of "Shadow" is to make the opponent's movements uncoordinated, where they can't distinguish left from right.
"Prophet's Experience", on the other hand, is much more powerful. This prayer can temporarily transform the target into a Dark Moon Priestess led by the Dark Moon Prophet. In simple terms, it turns the target into a clone of herself, and that clone can use all of her skills (except talents).
"If the target has a higher spiritual attribute, the prayer may fail, but as long as the target is open-minded, the prayer will definitely succeed. Well, let's talk to the guildmaster and Miss Plump Sheep before using it."
Loria reached out and tapped on her job change.
With a rush of warm energy flowing through her body, her career success transformed into the Dark Moon Prophet. Her attributes were also adjusted again, just as shown on her identity card.
[Attributes]: Strength 103, Agility 86, Stamina 206, Intelligence 53, Spirit 108, Charisma 14.
Among them, the adjustments to her intelligence and spirit were especially significant, which made Loria overjoyed.
3. Among them, the adjustments to her intelligence and spirit were especially significant, which made Loria overjoyed.
4. The higher her spirit attribute, the more terrifying the effects of her prophet experiences and the Eyes of Dark Moon skill would be.
"It is almost time to protect the Stone of Enka in Count Norton's hands."
August 5, 829 A.C. (After Creation).
Accompanied by Vita and Miss Plump Sheep, Loria brought the introduction letter written by Count Lidilia and Doris as they entered Count Norton's territory.
She didn't delay at all on the way, heading straight to Count Norton's house.
She had already made up her mind that it would be impossible to make Count Norton willingly hand over the Stone of Enka, so she could only do two things.
Steal or snatch!
After all, she's not really a monster.
Loria decided to play a game of "polite greetings before combat" with Count Norton.
If she can't steal it, then she'll have to use her fists.
