Chapter 137: Who Says Being Short Isn't Attractive?
It took about half an hour to have dinner.
It was only when Loria was satisfied and put the bowl down that the guildmaster realized she was holding the chopsticks incorrectly.
She stared at the chopsticks for a while and quietly switched their positions while Loria wasn't looking.
Then, she quickly picked up a few bites of food and said, "I'm full."
"Huh?" Miss Plump Sheep, who was still eating, turned her head. "Doesn't the guildmaster want to eat more? We walked such a long way today, if you don't eat more, you'll be hungry when sleeping, won't you?"
The guildmaster had no expression on her face. "I don't have a big appetite."
Miss Plump Sheep made an "oh" sound.
She looked around and noticed that Loria and the guildmaster had finished eating, and only Luciene, who also had a small appetite, was eating slowly. Her mood instantly improved.
In this way, all the delicious food on this table will be hers!
The one who eats a lot, the one who loves to eat, the one who loves to eat will go all out.
The guildmaster shook her head, "Be careful not to get fat, especially with extra weight on your belly."
Miss Plump Sheep's hand holding the chicken leg stiffened.
It seemed like the first time she heard the guildmaster joking.
But the important thing is not that, the important thing is that the guildmaster's words made her feel scared!
If she really gets fat, wouldn't she become very ugly?
She instinctively wanted to throw away the chicken leg.
At this moment, Loria next to her said, "Just eat, it's not a big deal. If you have time, I'll take you to exercise more. The small amount of food you eat will be quickly burned off."
Neigh-
Miss Plump Sheep couldn't help but take a cold breath.
She saw with her own eyes how Loria trained with the guildmaster.
The two of them were desperately fencing, sweating profusely. Their clothes clung tightly to their chests and hips, outlining curves that made her eyes flare up.
Very difficult.
But, also very tired!
Training?
"No no no, I'm not eating anymore."
Miss Plump Sheep decisively put the chicken leg back.
Although she was very hungry for all the food on the table, it was not a big deal to eat less compared to that kind of exhausting exercise.
"You really won't eat?"
"I won't eat."
"Alright then."
Loria glanced at Luciene, who set down her bowl, and prepared to clean up the dining table.
But the guildmaster quickly grabbed the chopsticks and bowl before her, "Let me do it."
"Oh, it's fine. I can do it."
Loria hurriedly stepped forward. the guildmaster's legs were still not well, so there was no way she could let the guildmaster do the work at this moment.
But the guildmaster turned around directly, not giving her a chance to take away the bowls and chopsticks.
"Don't be proud of your victory. Although you got rid of the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence, the story is far from over. There is a finance minister nearby who is colluding with the Church, and there is also that mysterious goddess from afar."
That statement is not entirely wrong.
"Instead of spending time doing the dishes, it would be better to think about how to deal with the finance minister. The situation is constantly changing, and there is no room for relaxation."
Is the guildmaster really concerned about me?
Loria's heart felt a little warmer.
"Then let the guildmaster handle it."
She was prepared to go back and analyze the situation, first to see how things would unfold.
As Loria walked away, the guildmaster secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Loria were to wash the dishes, she would surely notice that the guildmaster had placed the chopsticks the wrong way around. It wasn't a big deal, but she felt a bit resistant to such incidents happening.
Because it would make her seem silly, and it would make Loria have strange misunderstandings.
However, the guildmaster never imagined that Loria had already seen through her while she was lost in thought, and she hid her loneliness.
In the quiet night.
Loria returned to her own room, while Miss Plump Sheep was still outside grazing, so there was no one to disturb her.
She opened the simulator and started a new simulation.
This time, her main goal was to see the changes in the situation in the next few days, so that she could plan her schedule accordingly.
In addition to observing, it would be great if she could also improve her endurance a bit.
Therefore, on the first day of the simulation, Loria didn't open herself up to desires like she had planned before, and didn't go directly to eating people.
She was afraid that once she started, she wouldn't be able to control her mouth and would spend all her time on close combat, leaving no time to pay attention to the outside world.
In this way, although she might receive a reward for endurance, she is also wasting a lot of time for no reason.
As the guildmaster said, the current situation is constantly changing, so the earlier she can make a detailed plan, the less likely she will be trapped by the situation.
[Day 1: Because it was already late, and there were many things happening during the day, you were worried about encountering trouble if you went out at night, so you went to bed early.]
[Day 2: You woke up early and specifically went to buy the newly released newspaper. All the front page headlines of the newspapers reported the incident of your attack on the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence.]
There is nothing worth paying attention to in the newspaper.
Because it is not clear at all who the attackers are, the news reports turned into stories. The journalists tried their best to come up with a story that would attract attention.
Some say it was an internal conflict, some say it was the work of flower thieves, some say it was the work of corrupt officials in the Claren City government...
At noon that day, Loria discovered that the newspaper that "slandered" the city government had been sealed off, on the grounds of spreading rumors.
Although she didn't find any useful information from the newspaper, thanks to the efforts of Coleridge and others, she still managed to gather some useful information.
The city of Claren is not an easy task to handle, even for the finance minister.
As the news kept spreading, there were people who had a grudge against the finance minister trying to use these rumors to attack him.
"This is indeed a great opportunity. If we can find direct evidence of the finance minister's crimes, we can immediately bring him to the gallows."
Publicly putting the finance minister on trial is definitely a much better option than killing him in secret.
[What gives you a headache is how to find evidence of the finance minister's guilt.]
[You went to find Liya for help, but she and the others don't have any direct evidence. Many of them have wounds, but no one can prove that these wounds were caused by the finance minister.]
"Damn it, we couldn't find any evidence even at the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence. This guy is being too cautious."
Loria began to understand why the finance minister could remain standing strong.
When he privately contacts people, he never uses letters. Most likely, he uses disposable magical items, which would not leave any evidence.
When he created and ran the slave trafficking organization, he never did things himself, but instead left everything to other people.
When he vented his cruel desires by tormenting the slaves he loved, he never left any of them alive, not even their bodies.
In Liya's words, it means that once a slave attracts the attention of the chief financial officer, they disappear without a trace, never to be seen again.
Loria felt that if she continued to investigate, it was highly likely that there would be absolutely no connection between the chief financial officer and the slave trafficking organization.
"What a sly old fox."
Loria clenched her teeth lightly.
She continued to review the simulated contents.
The simulated version of her didn't give up and continued to conduct a thorough investigation, but resorted to some minor tricks.
Since the normal investigative methods didn't work, she decided to take a more unconventional approach!
[You got some mind-controlling drugs and magical props from Dr. Mara and Coleridge. You plan to intentionally get caught by the slave trading organization and infiltrate it, looking for evidence of the treasurer's wrongdoing.]
Loria frowned when she read this line.
She doubted if her intelligence was enough to handle this kind of challenging situation.
This is not a small matter. If she doesn't perform well, she may face unbearable agony and torment ahead.
True, her body could withstand such torture, and she might even find pleasure and develop a liking for this strange feeling. But...
This is not something to be excited about, sisters!
The guildmaster can do whatever she wants in simulations; she can restart the game anytime. But if she plays such a twisted game in reality, where will she find a rich woman who genuinely cares for her?
Though becoming a geisha can bring heaps of money from countless people, she would have to accompany many different individuals, not just one rich woman.
This goes against Loria's philosophy of loving to be lazy and lay flat.
However, Loria quickly realized that she didn't have to worry.
After taking the initiative, she found that the people on the list who were specifically responsible for capturing beautiful slaves had no intention of harming her.
[You were swaying and even changed into mature and sexy clothes in front of him, but still couldn't catch his attention.]
"What are you doing, what are you doing?"
Loria was furious.
The first step of her plan ended in failure.
Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen, but Loria is extremely angry now.
This bird person's action is clearly denying her charm!
What a joke, she is a succubus...no, she is a charming young knight lady like a succubus.
When she wore casual clothes in the simulation, many girls were drawn to her, intentionally dressing maturely might make those people come directly towards her without hesitation.
To her surprise, the birdman didn't even look at her.
[You angrily stopped the person and loudly questioned him if he was a male hormone, otherwise how could he have the idea of capturing you as a slave after seeing you?]
[Under your repeated harassment, the person finally understood that you knew everything. Unable to bear it any longer, he angrily scolded you, telling you to look in the mirror and see how tall you really are. He warned you not to embarrass yourself by foolishly thinking that becoming a slave is easy, especially for someone who doesn't meet the height requirement.]
"Damn it!"
Loria became extremely angry.
What the heck are you talking about? Where am I short? I'm just slightly shorter than other people, that's all.
I'll wear high heels, style my hair to make it fluffy, and intentionally exaggerate a little on the measurements. Then I'll definitely be a long-legged beauty with a height of 1.75 meters. You birdbrain don't understand anything.
Loria in the simulation directly started fighting with that person on the street.
With her great strength, she easily gained the upper hand and beat the person until they were covered in bruises.
However, the commotion attracted a lot of attention, and when the patrol officer arrived, she was furious and almost killed the person.
As expected, she was caught and thrown into the detention center, and she was quickly sentenced and sent to prison.
It seemed that the finance minister and the others wanted to poison her directly, but she had Super Poison Resistance and was not afraid of ordinary poisons at all. She even ate them like food.
[Day 10: The prison guards couldn't stand it anymore and decided to strangle you with a rope.]
[As you were being choked, you entered an incredibly excited state and experienced three consecutive bursts of incredible speed. With the help of three succubus shockwaves, you successfully killed everyone who tried to strangle you and escaped from the prison.]
"..."
Loria hesitated, wanting to speak.
She had heard that some people would have explosive reactions during breathplay games, but this was...
"This doesn't mean that I'm weird; it only means that my body is weird. What does my weird body have to do with being a pure-hearted girl?"
Loria nodded secretly.
In a way, she was quite invincible. Common poisons couldn't kill her, ordinary gallows couldn't kill her, and even a regular guillotine would shatter against her body.
If she were thrown into a low-magic world, she could easily play the role of an immortal desire witch.
After being released from prison, the simulated Loria discovered that the war within the empire had become extremely intense.
Contrary to most people's expectations, the hastily uprising Hidden Leader was still progressing rapidly, defeating the imperial army multiple times. One of their forces had even reached near the Province of Claren.
"They came over in just ten days?"
Loria was shocked.
This meant that she didn't have much time left.
But what surprised her even more was that she soon discovered that the finance minister had run away.
According to sources, it was said that the finance minister had not been seen for five or six days ago, and he should have escaped at that time. The reason might be that he was afraid of retaliation from the Hidden Leader.
"Okay!"
Loria widened her eyes.
In this way, she had to hurry up, otherwise it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to catch the finance minister later.
In the following simulation, she tried to expose the escaped finance minister, but unfortunately, she failed and got seriously injured in the midst of the war. In the end, she had to escape back to the guildmaster's hometown together with the guildmaster.
Fortunately, the guildmaster didn't mind her lower body paralysis and stood up against her parents' pressure and married her.
After marriage, they lived a damp, sticky, and warm life every day.
Because she couldn't move her waist, although her endurance was still terrible as before, she could not deliver a heavy blow to the guildmaster.
So, this time she and the guildmaster lived their lives happily ever after.
And because she couldn't move her waist, this time she didn't have the ability to run around outside and cause trouble. the guildmaster's head was clear!
"Let's not congratulate the guildmaster for not wearing a hat on her back."
Loria turned off the simulator.
Using the simulated content to infer, the Minister of Finance will go on the run in six days at the latest, but in reality, he should have run earlier.
"Improve our strength, and prepare a new battle suit at the same time."
Loria lightly pinched her chin.
"With my intelligence, it's obviously unrealistic to try and outwit the Minister of Finance in such a short time."
"Hmm, since we can't beat him with our brains, let's resort to force!"
The fool's tactic is to charge straight ahead.
Don't you want to run?
That's perfect.
When you start running, I'll directly block your path. Let's see where you can run.
Moreover, by doing this, the finance minister is essentially cutting ties with Claren City. He will naturally lose a powerful ally. The difference is, Loria can seek help from Liya and Coleridge.
"Just wait and see. When I surpass the limits of the Shame-Powered Female Warrior, I'll show you!"
