If that's the case, why is the other party contacting me?
Driven by curiosity, Lilith walked to the door and looked at the melancholy girl standing there, with long, flowing hair, beautiful and poised.
"You want to talk to me?"
Seeing the harmless Vanessa, Lilith lowered her guard.
"Is that alright, Miss Lilith?"
Vanessa made a request.
Seeing this, Lilith left her residence and found a secluded spot nearby with Vanessa.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Vanessa then spoke hesitantly.
“Miss Lilith, actually… I am actually the daughter of Earl Bacchus.”
Count Bacchus...
Lilith looked at Vanessa with a mixture of annoyance and surprise.
"Bacchus has a daughter?"
Vanessa nodded.
“I didn’t live in Ironflame City before, I only recently came back.”
Lilith frowned.
“Since you are Earl Bacchus’s daughter, it seems we have nothing to talk about.”
Her father had warned her to be careful of Count Bacchus and to avoid contact with him, so Lilith was on high alert.
Vanessa looked apologetic upon seeing this.
“I have heard about what happened to you. My father was indeed wrong. I came to see you without his knowledge. I am very sorry for the harm he caused you.”
Lilith sized up the girl with the sincere expression.
"So you've come to apologize to me on behalf of your father?"
Vanessa nodded and handed over the gift.
"This is a gift I prepared for you. Please accept it if you accept my apology."
Lilith looked at the gift offered to her, thought for a moment, and then waved her hand in refusal.
"No need. I have a grudge against your father, but that's between him and me, and it has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, Lilith tried to leave.
Suddenly I heard sobbing behind me.
Lilith took a few steps, looked back at Vanessa who was sobbing, and then walked back.
Vanessa, why are you crying?
Vanessa wiped away her tears, pursed her lips, and lowered her head.
“My father always does bad things that hurt others. People may hate him, but I am his daughter. As his daughter, all I can do is apologize to others on his behalf.”
Lilith looked at the girl.
“This Earl Bacchus, he and his son are no good people, but his daughter is a decent person.”
She pondered to herself before speaking in response.
“I understand you. Your father is your father, and you are you. I don’t hate you.”
Upon hearing this, Vanessa handed the gift back to her.
Lilith looked at the numerous wounds on the girl's fingers, then at the gift, and decided to take it and open it.
Inside was a silk scarf, exquisitely crafted.
The name Lilith is embroidered on it.
"I embroidered it myself. My embroidery skills aren't very good, but please accept it."
Vanessa watched longingly.
Seeing this, and noticing the numerous needle marks on the other person's fingers, Lilith took the silk scarf.
"Thank you for accepting my gift. I am very grateful."
Vanessa bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.
Lilith looked at Vanessa, who was bowing repeatedly, and said, "You don't need to be so polite."
"Can I visit you often in the future?"
Vanessa made the request.
"I want to make up for the harm my father caused you through my actions."
Lilith felt a little embarrassed.
"You don't need to compensate me; you don't owe me anything."
But as soon as she said it, seeing the dejected look on Vanessa's face, Lilith changed her mind and said, "If you want to come find me, then come find me."
Vanessa then said a few more words of thanks.
Then turned and left.
Lilith held the scarf and looked at it a few more times, watching Vanessa's departing figure.
"Bacchus must have saved the world in his past life to have a daughter like that."
……
Inside Count Bacchus's palace.
"How about it?"
Vanessa gave a brief update on her progress in befriending Lilith.
"No problem, she's a nice person, and I think we'll become good friends very quickly, the kind who can talk about anything."
Count Bacchus was very pleased and patted Vanessa's head.
"That's not enough. We need to provide you with some conveniences."
After much thought, Bacchus offered a reminder.
"You are like this..."
He whispered something to Vanessa, then handed her some things.
"do you understand?"
Vanessa hesitated as she took what Bacchus handed her.
"Father, won't this have some negative impact on you?"
Bacchus sneered.
"Vanessa, to catch big fish, you need excellent bait."
……
For two consecutive weeks, Black Language Caves' ranking has continued to rise.
However, the pass rate is still zero.
This left the noble offspring of those high-ranking dungeon lords, who had previously been throwing parties and celebrating, feeling depressed.
As they watched the Black Language Cave rankings rise rapidly, the group of people turned ashen-faced.
"How could this be? These are all mutated monsters that can't do any harm. How did this guy manage to create a dungeon with a zero success rate using these monsters?"
The noble son who had boasted that he was about to vomit blood from kowtowing and admitting his mistakes is now on the verge of vomiting blood.
The group of people no longer had the excitement they had when they first started celebrating at the party; they were all listless and dejected.
At this moment, they were unaware that they had been betrayed by Count Bacchus.
At the entrance to Lilith's little house.
Vanessa knocked on the door, looking anxious, and handed over a large pile of things.
"Lilith, I'm sorry."
Lilith looked at the huge pile of documents Vanessa handed her.
"What's wrong, Vanessa?"
Vanessa sobbed, “I found those documents with my father. Take a look.”
Lilith glanced at the information.
It was discovered that the sons of those great nobles had signed a contract to reserve all the monsters in the D-level dungeons within the market.
It turns out that the culprit behind Ron's inability to hire suitable monsters to build the dungeon was Count Bacchus, who had encouraged the sons of those nobles to reserve monsters.
Lilith was furious.
Just a second thought.
"Hey, why am I angry? Isn't this a system that benefits me by giving me a free ride?"
Besides, when Ron couldn't hire a suitable monster, everyone already knew it was the work of some noble sons, but they didn't know that Earl Bacchus was behind it.
Looking at Vanessa, who was blaming herself, in front of him.
This girl was completely different from Count Bacchus. Vanessa was kind-hearted and brought these things over to show herself.
"I'm sorry, Lilith," Vanessa apologized repeatedly.
Lilith handed the documents back and offered Vanessa some comfort.
"It's okay, I've already guessed some of these things."
"And you don't need to apologize to me. These were your father's doings, not yours. You and Count Bacchus are two different people."
At this moment, Lilith had come to regard the kind-hearted Vanessa as her friend.
