Chapter 144: Wait Until I Catch You, Then You'll See My Grinding Power!
After going through several doors, Loria now has a huge sum of one hundred thousand Oder coins.
Although she can't compare to wealthy ladies like the guildmaster who have billions of coins, she can definitely be considered a small wealthy lady compared to the poor masses.
Therefore, after setting aside some money to buy the Magic Crystal Mine for Doris, Loria even dared to spend 1000 Oder coins to simulate for the fourth time every day.
"Let me see who I 'beat' all night!"
The simulator started running, and lines of text appeared.
Because it's just a simulation, it doesn't matter even if it causes a big commotion, so Loria doesn't plan to pretend to be a righteous person anymore. She grabs a gun and rides a horse, charging straight in.
[Day 1: Taking advantage of the night, you secretly knock on the guildmaster's door and straightforwardly ask if she punished you while you were drunk last night.]
[The guildmaster looks at you with a puzzled face and asks if you have a fever, then she touches your forehead with her hand and says you don't seem to have a high temperature, there was no fever last night.]
[You grabbed the guildmaster's hand and said that you woke up early and found that there was no barrier anymore. If it wasn't the guildmaster, then it must be the other two who did it!]
[The guildmaster's face changed slightly, and she held your hand tightly with a serious expression, showing that she will help you find out who did it.]
So, Loria and the guildmaster went to meet Miss Plump Sheep next.
But the situation completely surprised Loria.
Miss Plump Sheep was scared by her question and shyly said that she couldn't have done such a thing.
"I, I, I... I don't have the courage for that!"
After her shyness, Miss Plump Sheep became angry again.
How annoying.
Knight Loria's purity was gone just like that, it's really infuriating.
She immediately offered to help Loria find and confront that mean person for a fight.
The three of them went to look for Lady Luciene again.
Honestly, Loria still had some doubts about Lady Luciene.
After all, in the previous simulation, Lady Luciene had actively flirted with her, and maybe now, because she felt lonely, she couldn't resist her temptation when she saw her curves.
Unfortunately, the result was still disappointing.
"I swear, I was in my room all night yesterday, I didn't go out at all. If you don't believe me, you can ask Adeline and the others."
The guildmaster and Miss Plump Sheep nodded after recalling the events.
It seems like that's what happened?
They used the word "seems" because they couldn't possibly watch Lady Luciene's room all night.
But the guildmaster said she lives in the room next to Lady Luciene's and didn't hear the sound of the door opening last night.
Now Loria was shocked.
"None of you did anything. It couldn't possibly be just me doing it alone, breaking through myself while dreaming, right?"
It seems... No, that's not possible at all!
Loria's eyes became sharp.
If this good thing was really done by her, the room couldn't possibly be so clean.
Not to mention the crimson marks left after the ceremony, just her terrifying energy reserves that far surpass ordinary people, she would never be able to sleep until natural awakening, but would suddenly open her eyes when on the verge of suffocation and find the entire room flooded.
Of course, the room could possibly have a leak, but in that case, how could the guildmaster and the others not have noticed?
"Someone must have secretly dealt with all the traces when others weren't paying attention."
Loria remembered the underwear and clothes she wore when she woke up, it seemed like a breakthrough.
She was filled with anticipation.
But this anticipation was soon shattered.
In the simulation, she asked a question, and Lady Luciene stepped forward, admitting it was her and honestly stating that she didn't do anything wrong.
"Last night, we carried you into the bathroom to take a shower. While we were about to undress you, it seems that the clothes accidentally scratched you, and you were so startled that you turned into a showerhead."
"？？？"
Loria, staring at the simulation screen, was completely confused.
A showerhead?
Wait a minute.
She suddenly had a vague memory.
Last night she was moved around by someone. For a while, she was put down and then someone scratched her. As they kept scratching her ears, the sound of rain appeared.
"..."
Shhh.
This is not a big deal!
Loria quickly shook her head.
The important thing was that her own underwear was dirty. After the three people worked together to bathe her, so she wouldn't sleep naked, Lady Luciene offered her own underwear.
"Oh, darn it! Doesn't this mean we have no clues at all?"
Loria knitted her brows.
Some people didn't know what happened, and some people were lying. The person who was lying said the same thing as the truth. It seems that it is impossible to investigate thoroughly using conventional methods.
The first simulation was about everyone escaping from war together, and many years later the guildmaster suddenly became seriously ill and pretended to die.
Loria didn't have time to investigate further and immediately started the second simulation.
This time, she didn't take the usual path.
Since launching an attack doesn't work, let's lure the enemy deep!
[You quickly put on amazing underwear and then, pretending to celebrate, you drank until you got 'drunk'. After getting 'drunk', you deliberately made outrageous movements in front of the guildmaster and muttered that you wanted to experience it again.]
"I truly deserve to be called the me in the simulation!"
Loria thought about that situation. Although it would make her feel inexplicably excited, it wouldn't be wise to act as a social death.
She couldn't give up future happiness for temporary pleasure.
"I want to see who is lying, the liar will be bullied by me for a whole week!"
Loria rubbed her tummy, her eyes filled with excitement.
The new simulation content appeared.
[You lay on the bed with your bottom up, waiting until the next morning, but no one pushed open the door to come in.]
"Huh?"
Loria's eyes widened.
She had been looking forward to it for a long time, but no one came to confront her directly. It's really unfair!
Did I not perform well enough or was my plan discovered?
Loria's head started to ache.
In the game, she didn't give up. On the second night, instead of calming down, she got even more drunk and acted more strange.
The result was the same as before.
She waited all night, so bored that she started to entertain herself, but no one came into the house.
Crash!
If she could reach the simulator, Loria really wanted to throw it directly.
Unexpectedly, even this trick didn't work. If something like this happened in real life, Loria, who was deeply disappointed, would resort to putting a powerful love potion in her dinner on the third day.
The second simulation concluded with the guildmaster suddenly falling ill and passing away many years later.
"Nothing works, so let's do it the tough way!"
Loria's expression turned fierce.
Anyway, since it's in a simulator, there shouldn't be any problem with being a villain, right?
Definitely no problem.
Otherwise, the things she did to the guildmaster before would have been used against her by the guildmaster.
Loria immediately immersed herself in the third simulation, this time she became a kidnapper and directly tied up Miss Plump Sheep and Lady Luciene separately.
"Oh my gosh, say it, why don't you say it? If you don't say it, then we'll fight until next month!"
The plan was perfect, and there were no unexpected events during the kidnapping process.
However, the guildmaster, who came in aggressively, interfered when the threats were being made.
Unlike before, the newly empowered the guildmaster was as strong as a warrior, chasing Loria in all directions until she had to use the Energy Vampire to successfully subdue the guildmaster.
However, that was the end of it.
The sound of the battle caught the attention of many people. As Coleridge arrived, Loria had to run away.
Oh no, the rich lady is gone.
Loria could only run to seek refuge with the Dark Elf Queen. Many years later, she successfully spread the Dark Moon faith within the Dark Elf Queen's influence, deserving the title of Dark Moon Priestess.
"I didn't expect it to come to this. It was my carelessness."
Loria gritted her teeth, wondering if the guildmaster didn't come, she might have already found the answer.
Should we do it again?
The fourth simulation cost 1000 Oder coins. After seeing her savings, she decided to indulge herself.
"Charge!"
Loria opened the simulator for the fourth time.
This time she learned her lesson and placed the location where she tied people far away from her residence, so she wouldn't be afraid of being caught by the guildmaster in an instant.
Everything went as she expected, and she started making threats without any surprises.
But...
During the questioning process, Miss Plump Sheep suddenly burst into tears, whether it was from being scared or for another reason, crying and saying that Knight Loria, whom she knew, wasn't like this.
"..."
Loria wanted to speak but hesitated.
However, there was no turning back now.
That's what she thought.
However, the simulated version of her made a completely unexpected move.
[After you untied Miss Plump Sheep and apologized, you ran away. Then you went to Lady Luciene and untied her, and once again you escaped from Claren City. Your destination was the Dark Elf Tribe.]
And so, you ran and ran until you reached a place where no one could catch you.
The result of this simulation was not much different from the third one, but it brought Loria a completely different experience.
Suddenly, she urgently wanted to know the outcome of the other people in the simulation.
After she ran away, what would the guildmaster and the others think and do?
If she had known that things would turn out like this, she shouldn't have run to the Dark Elf Tribe. Instead, she should have quietly hidden nearby and observed the guildmaster and the others' reactions.
"Should we run the simulation one more time?"
After thinking about it, Loria decided to give up.
The fifth simulation would cost ten thousand Oder coins, and when she thought deeper about it, she was a little afraid of actually getting the exact answer.
Never mind, never mind.
Since we can't find out now, let's just leave it for now.
In these few days, we should hurry and visit the financial minister's cronies. It's a busy season, and she can easily pin their deaths on the Hidden Leader without worrying about the empire government targeting her.
"I don't believe that person can hide forever!"
Loria let out a soft snort.
Once she catches the person who took advantage of her in her weakened state, she will definitely show them the power of a succubus!
Want to get out of bed?
There isn't even a door!
Loria looked down and touched her belly.
She didn't know what that feeling was. Even though she had fought all night, she had no memory of it.
Should she try it herself?
Maybe not.
She focused on the results of the previous simulations.
Just as she had guessed, the guildmaster forcing her power caused a negative impact on her body. Instead of peacefully living her later years, she suddenly died.
"Although there is still a long time, I can't just sit back and don'thing. I want to rely on others for a few more years."
The first step was to figure out exactly what the guildmaster had done. Only by understanding the problem could they find the right solution. Otherwise, if they acted carelessly, not only would they not be able to cure the guildmaster, but they might also cause her to die prematurely.
Loria didn't want to be called a fox spirit who sucked people's energy.
Does she really look like a fox spirit?
Clearly, she was a noble and courageous female knight.
Sleeping.
If you fall asleep, you won't be able to restrain your own carnal desires.
In the following three days, Loria didn't investigate who had done something bad with her in the simulation.
She focused more on hunting down the puppets of the Minister of Finance. After three days of battle, she achieved great results and successfully obtained over five hundred thousand in cash.
If only her inventory wasn't so small, she could take away those expensive artworks and decorations. With these gains, she would have become one of the wealthiest women in Claren City.
"It's about time to make a run for it."
Loria held the latest newspaper in her hands. According to the report, the rebels of the Hidden Leader organization are currently winning one victory after another. It is estimated that they will reach the Province of Claren soon, and Claren City will suffer heavy damage.
Upon receiving the news, many common people of the Province of Claren had spontaneously started fleeing towards the heartland of the empire.
After the actions of the Hidden Leader in Creek Town were exposed, everyone no longer believed that they were a righteous army. Now, they were afraid of running too slowly and being caught to feed the monsters.
The guildmaster took the newspaper from Loria's hand and stared at her. She said, "Come back with me, let's avoid for a while. I also have time to give you proper training as a knight."
"Huh?"
Loria was surprised.
She had been worried about how to go back with the guildmaster to meet her parents, but she didn't expect the guildmaster to invite her herself. What was there to hesitate about?
Charge!
Miss Plump Sheep and Lady Luciene quickly joined them as well.
Everyone had to run away, it was impossible to stay here.
Lady Luciene said she wanted to go along and see. It was better to move to a place where they knew people.
Miss Plump Sheep also said that she and her father were preparing to move to a peaceful place, and it just so happened that everyone could go together.
"Then let's go together."
Loria agreed happily.
She was also worried about someone being left behind, so she wouldn't be able to find the person who had been posted all night.
After spending half a day packing their belongings, Loria followed the guildmaster on the journey to Count Lidilia's estate.
When they set off, the main road of Claren City was already blocked with many wagons, and people carrying large and small bags, as well as suitcases, could be seen everywhere.
"Who knows when this war will end."
Lady Luciene sighed.
Who knows?
Until now, Loria still doesn't know the true purpose of the Hidden Leader starting the war, nor why they want the Hollow Stone inside Doris.
Let's talk later.
Loria jumped into the car that Coleridge brought by using his connections, ready to pull up the curtains, when she suddenly noticed someone walking outside the window.
It was a woman.
The woman had beautiful slightly curly hair, and she was wearing a black leather jacket and black high heels that accentuated her figure. As she walked, her hips swayed.
"I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"
Loria paused, but unfortunately, the woman walked too quickly for her to get a clear look at her appearance.
"Let's go."
Coleridge shouted, and the carriage started moving.
