"Svanni!"
"Herbert really agreed just like you said!"
"You’re amazing!"
During the recent ga with Herbert, Eliza actually had external assistance.
With subtle hints from Svanni, she managed to steady her resolve in monts of doubt and won against Herbert for the first ti in the trade.
In her palm, the petite Svanni smiled: "Hehe, it’s nothing, just a little help."
"Actually, the deal was closed partly because Sir Herbert didn’t intend to exploit you."
"Otherwise, he could have offered a lower price and you would still have agreed."
Eliza: ?
"Really?"
The sowhat smug Vampire woman blinked and suspiciously eyed Svanni, uncertainly asking: "... Is he really as good as you say he is?"
"He is."
Svanni nodded, smiling: "Of course, I’m comparing him to those beings from the Evil Domain."
"Compared to those greedy guys who’d swallow their trade partners whole, Sir Herbert is as generous as a saint."
"In my view, even if we didn’t increase the price, he would have voluntarily raised the compensation... although you probably don’t believe it."
Eliza seed doubtful about Svanni’s words, finding sothing odd about them.
It felt as if Svanni was deliberately praising Herbert... Haha! How is that possible?
Impossible, absolutely not. JPG
Must be overthinking.
Svanni is my close ally, how could she be on the sa side as Herbert?
Haha.
Must be overthinking.
Eliza brought the "Svanni figurine" to her face, like an obsessive fan, gently rubbing it with her cheek, muttering endlessly.
"Alright, if you say so."
"You’re the only one who’s truly my companion now!"
...
...
"So, do you really think she’s the right choice?"
"Yes, this Miss Svanni, dear friend and family of Eliza~"
On the other side of the Prison of Darkness, in Svanni’s treehouse.
Herbert looked at Svanni, whose expression suddenly beca a bit subtle, with a playful gaze.
Eliza, you think Svanni is yours?
Nope!
She’s long been on my side!
Kekeke—
Once, Svanni had no choice, but now, she wants to do good.
Also, you think you won against in the trade?
Wrong again!
You think I’m on the first level, but actually, I’m on the fifth!
Your big gains are just your imagination.
As for the real facts?
Well... hehe.
The invisible hand的最有用的一集.
Let’s say, you might make a small profit, but I’m absolutely not losing.
Besides, the entire Third Commandnt Hall is mine, how do you plan to fight ? With your head?
Do you have the ability?
You know you don’t?
"... Sir Herbert, you’re joking about this again."
Svanni shook her head, looking at Herbert’s smug expression, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Whether it’s the naive Vampire or this cunning Prison Warden, these two... both have issues.
Yes, both quite severely.
And as the go-between and double agent stuck between them... I’m probably no better.
"Svanni, regarding the candidate, I still wanted to ask you."
After laughing for a while, Herbert comfortably lounged in his wicker chair, he asked Svanni again, "Eliza, though not weak in abilities, shouldn’t be the best choice among the options I provided, right?"
Since he chose to cooperate, Herbert wasn’t hiding anything.
Use people as if you don’t doubt them, and don’t doubt people you use.
He generously provided Svanni with so information on the Monster Girls he controlled.
It was both a show of trust and an invisible intimidation.
Letting Svanni know—Look, not just you, but I can control all these others too.
And to ensure nothing goes wrong, Herbert even included Luhier among the choices.
But in the end, Svanni, after so hesitation, picked a choice that surprised him greatly—Eliza.
"I didn’t probe deeply before, but can you tell now why you chose her?"
Why her?
It’s not just because she’s easy to control, is it?
Svanni nodded, calmly said: "Because she’s hard to kill."
"As long as there’s ample blood supply, a Legendary Vampire’s life force is incredibly resilient."
"What we plan to do this ti is very dangerous, she can best protect you, and you can better support her."
Herbert paused for a mont upon hearing this reason, eyes slightly widening.
"Oh?"
Oh-ho!? That’s the reason!
"This reason... uh, hmm."
Herbert smacked his lips, couldn’t help but sigh: "Wow, you sure have a dark heart! Ah, I didn’t an your skin... ahem."
How to put it?
Truly plastic fantastic sisters!
Svanni smiled silently at his teasing, not responding.
What are you saying here?
Isn’t this basic operation?
After thinking seriously, Herbert also felt he would probably make the sa choice.
Not to deliberately target Eliza or maliciously tornt her, but out of safety concerns.
Since she has this ability, why not use it?
As for whether Eliza suffers... it’s not like I’m not paying her!
You get paid to do the job, this is common sense.
Capitalist’s words: It’s not like I caused his sudden death!
Sa logic here.
"Speaking of which, more than Eliza, I’m actually more curious about you."
He raised an eyebrow, smiled: "So, how do you plan to evade your sister’s watch?"
Currently, the greatest danger of their journey into the Dark Territory is getting discovered by Stella and exposed before they make a move.
In that case, they would be in dire straits.
"? I’m not going."
Herbert: ?
Eh?
You’re not going, then am I delivering myself alone?
"Hehe, don’t rush, listen till I’m finished."
Svanni looked at his bewildered face, slightly curled her lips, chuckled, and turned to fetch a slender leg bone from the lab bench.
"To everyone, the person accompanying you won’t be ."
"But... her."
As the Dark Elf’s great magic word fell... a layer of flesh began to grow slowly on that smooth dry bone.
Herbert: !!!
