Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 107: Fooling [Thanks to the leader of the repeating rice bugs]

We came to the ancient castle that stood majestically in the center of the city, embodying a strong breath of life.

The heavy stone door was closed.

There are blood servant guards patrolling around the castle constantly, driving away the creatures that either accidentally enter or deliberately approach the castle.

But to Nasha's surprise, when they got closer——

The stern-faced guards made way for them.

The elegant waiter pushed open the ancient stone door for them.

The loyal castle steward led them to the room belonging to the owner.

In the hierarchical vampire society, Nasha had never encountered or even seen such treatment.

What shocked her even more, and even made her feel terrified, was that—

When they met the city lord, Marquis Odra, Hermione asked him all the information she wanted to know in a natural manner.

To Marquis Audra, Hermione was clearly a stranger whom he had never met and had no connection with.

But when Hermione asked questions, the Marquis of Audra not only did not resist, but also answered very skillfully, answering whatever was asked, as if he was reporting to someone in a higher position.

Could this be the power of Hermione? Nasha now truly felt that the "Human Sage," the strongest subordinate god in the human kingdom, possessed a terrifying inner self that was completely different from his gentle appearance.

……

Arriving at the Castle Lord's Mansion in the ancient castle, Hermione sat on a chair covered in soft brocade cushions. She glanced at Nasha, who was becoming restless beside her, and greeted the vampire lord in front of her, "Marquis Odra, long time no see."

A trace of surprise and confusion crossed Marquis Audra's face, but he couldn't grasp the source of this inner turmoil. He even replied enthusiastically, "The last time I met you was last time..."

Why is Marquis Audra talking so...retarded? Nasha frowned in confusion.

Without any prelude, Hermione asked directly, "Marquis Audra, I came here to inquire about the recent situation of the First Ancestor. Do you know anything about it?"

Ancestor?

When Nasha heard this question, her eyes widened in shock. She had never expected that the "humanistic sage" wanted to ask about the ancestor!
If that's the case, wouldn't she, who led Hermione to the vampire kingdom, become a sinner who betrayed the original ancestor?!

Although the power and authority Hermione displayed along the way suggested she didn't need her guidance at all, Nasha, out of loyalty to the First Ancestor, wanted to resist...

Even though she was just a vampire who had not yet reached adulthood, she was thinking at this moment that she must wake up Marquis Audra, who had been bewitched by this human woman!
However, just as Nasha was about to move, she was horrified to find that her body was completely out of control.

Before she knew it, a shadowy figure in a black classical robe and a pointed hat coiled around her back like a snake.

This is...the God of Fraud!
"Nasha, go to sleep for a while. When you wake up, everything will be back to normal." The words of the God of Deception echoed softly in Nasha's heart.

When the sound completely dissipated, "Nasha" slowly took out a monocle from her arms and put it on her right eye elegantly and casually.

Nasha's previously well-behaved and polite sitting posture suddenly became unbridled. She crossed her legs, exuding a sense of relaxed laziness. Marquis Audra noticed this change in Nasha, but even stranger, he seemed unconcerned, as if some of his intelligence had been drained away. Instead, he continued answering Hermione's questions.

This is "fooling"!
Hermione smiled back at "Nasha."

"Nasha" just glanced back at her lazily.

In fact, Hermione was not sure whether this "Fool" authority was due to Amon using the power of Sefirah Castle, or whether there was some complicated relationship between Amon and the wolf cub who had seized the uniqueness of "The Fool".

However, it was precisely because she needed to use this power of "fooling" that she deliberately brought Nasha, the vampire girl who was parasitized by Amon, into the vampire kingdom.

Although the "Writer" could subconsciously push the other party to achieve the desired outcome, Hermione's mental authority alone could not make a Sequence 3 High-Sequence Beyonder like Marquis Audra completely obey her will.

However, when her psychic authority was combined with Amon's authority of "deception", the mere Sequence Three Marquis Audra cooperated with an attitude comparable to that of someone who had taken a truth serum from the mysticism, and he willingly revealed all the secrets in his heart.

"Her Highness Ornia claimed that the 'Ancestor' fell into a deep sleep, but we all heard the oracle from the 'Ancestor'." Marquis Odra spoke slowly, his face full of solemnity, as if he was really discussing serious matters with his colleagues.

There was no sense of being forced.

Then, his voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of pain. This pain came from the changes that had occurred in the vampire race: "The oracle said that Ornia had betrayed the vampire race!"

Hermione pressed the question: "Did you follow the oracle and arrest Ornia?"

"No, we hesitated shamefully. Facing the oracle of the First Ancestor, we found it hard to believe that Her Highness Ornia would betray the First Ancestor and the blood clan." Marquis Odra showed an expression of self-blame and pain, with two lines of hot tears running down his cheeks uncontrollably.

Through tears, Marquis Odra continued, "However, the traitor Ornia has suffered divine punishment and been imprisoned in the 'Lair' by the First Ancestor. We have constantly confessed our sins to the First Ancestor, and finally, we were able to return to his care and listen to his teachings."

When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that Lilith's disappearance was far from that simple. Could it be that someone had taken her place and stolen her account?
Even the first god in his bloodline was destroyed by someone.

The uniqueness of the "Moon" was sealed in the Temple of Dusk by Amanesis. In this case, the only thing that could be in trouble was the uniqueness of the "Mother" for whom Lilith had arranged a means of return in advance.

Thinking of this, Hermione asked another question: "Where is Omybella?"

Marquis Audra was stunned for a moment, then frowned in confusion. He replied as a matter of course, "The Harvest Goddess Omibella? Isn't that the Giant Queen? She fell along with the Giant King."

Even a high-ranking vampire like Marquis Odra didn't know that Omibella was abducted by Lilith. Lilith did a really good job of keeping it secret.

However, perhaps we won't be able to get any more useful information from Marquis Audra...

Then, Hermione looked at Amanesis and Nasha.

"Nasha" looked relaxed and indifferent, but she was still helping her maintain the "fooling" power she exerted on Marquis Odra.

And Amanesis asked, "Where is the 'nest'?"

　I'm a bit upset by the censorship. Also, I saw some readers say I wasn't diligent enough. The three days since the release, I've updated 13K words, 9.8K words, and today's 9.4K words (of which 2.6K words, Chapter 104, was censored). I'm really not slacking off, don't deny my diligence, QAQ. And I spent half the day today battling with the AI review (I posted Chapter 104 at 12:104 pm, but it was locked for review. I revised it and released it, but it was locked again. I revised it again and released it, but it was locked again in the evening). I really tried my best. Don't wait for the early morning update; I really can't write it. I'll try to get the incomplete version of Chapter 12 out. But tomorrow's word count won't be less, so I'll update at 30: pm.
