Yes, a male succubus.
This was the result Ella obtained after using a "low-level appraisal" to be on the safe side.
The male succubus called Ryan noticed Kumi and the others standing there in a daze. He followed Kumi's line of sight and looked at Iris standing in the front and Ella and her group behind them. As if he had seen something incredible, his mouth opened wide to the size that seemed to be able to fit an "Angel Crystal". Shocked words lingered in his throat, and he made inexpressible sounds.
It took a long while for Ryan to recover from his shock and speak hesitantly.
"No... This can't be real... This must be a dream. No, how could I see so many beautiful girls? It's impossible. This is absolutely impossible!"
Ryan closed his eyes, turned his head, and waved his hands quickly, while the wings behind him kept flapping vigorously. Unfortunately, this was not a dream. Ella's scream brought him back to reality from his efforts to close his eyes and try to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"Wow, it's a male succubus. No wonder all those wax figures are female."
If she didn't have any self-respect, Ella would definitely go up and pinch the wings on Ryan's back or the short horns on his head. It was really unexpected that there would be a male succubus. Even in "F.Wing", the succubus profession could only be chosen by female players. This was the first time Ella saw a male succubus like this.
"But then again, male succubi also survive by sucking semen... that's what?—Um, no, no, that's not right. Succubi can survive even on a normal three meals a day. To think of such filthy things, Ella, you're truly pathetic."
It was really hard to imagine that this man in front of her, with his bulging muscles and looking like a bodybuilding coach no matter how she looked at him, would suck semen... Unconsciously, Ella felt her stomach churning. If she had just finished a meal, she would definitely vomit it out immediately.
"No, no! Someone saw us! Number Seven, I'll leave this to you to erase my memory. I'm leaving now!"
After coming to his senses, Ryan showed an "Oh no" expression, carefully placed the newly completed female wax figure, and immediately escaped from the passage as fast as he could.
Chapter 72: The Prelude to the Riot
*创世纪6187年1月4日 下午14:41分 死亡城堡
"Ahem... I apologize for my earlier rude behavior. Please forgive me."
"Ahahaha... I'm the one who shouldn't be so surprised..."
Facing Ryan's apology, Ella gave an embarrassed smile.
Just now, after Ryan left the wax figure behind and ran away, Iris stated the purpose of her group's visit - they were just passing by and wanted to find out what was in the castle, and had no intention of hurting anyone. So the Kumi people quickly accepted it, and explained to the shy (according to the Kumi people, he was shy) Ryan, and took Ella and others to a place on the second floor that looked like a living room.
The spacious reception room with few furniture was filled with various Kumi, so it seemed a bit crowded. Even when moving, one had to be careful with one's feet, otherwise one might carelessly step on the curious Kumi passing by.
"This is tea made from leaves picked by the slimes~ Please have it~"
The ones speaking were a few Kumi rolling on the table, directing the slimes to bring the steaming tea to the table.
"Yeah, thank you, Kumi-chan."
"Slime...huh..."
Compared to Angelini who drank without any scruples, Ella could only respond with a wry smile that she could not agree with.
If the object is a slime, it means that it will definitely be stained with mucus when picking it. Although the tea they brought looked very clear and there was nothing unusual, the horrible thing that she had imagined would be difficult to get rid of, so Ella felt afraid to eat it.
Picking up the small teacup, Ella pretended to blow on it because it was too hot to drink, then sat back in her seat and asked Ryan, who was also sitting opposite her.
"What is Mr. Ryan's request to us?"
Just like Ella said, after hearing Ella's introduction from the outside world, Ryan said that he had a request and hoped Ella would help him, and said that he would give corresponding rewards. This is why Ella and her group did not go back immediately.
Hearing Ella's question, Ryan, who had been looking around the room, was startled. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded with a determined expression.
"...Yes, I hope you can help me find a place outside where I can communicate with my kind."
"Fellow tribe? Isn't that your hometown?"
"Hmm... My hometown can't accommodate me..."
Ryan's masculine face showed a bitter expression.
"As you can see, I'm a male succubus. Although we succubi can survive with just three meals a day, being called a succubus requires the necessary abilities to charm men and absorb their magic power, but I don't possess such a talent. Although some in my clan have suggested attracting women to replenish my magic power, from a male perspective, forcing women to do such a thing is unattainable. Therefore, I was exiled because I couldn't be called a succubus. I can only hide here to avoid being ridiculed."
While speaking, Ryan cast his gaze towards the Kumi who filled the entire room. Those Kumi seemed to know Ryan's difficulties and gathered around him, whispering comfort.
"This is really troubling..."
Ella's words made Angeline and Lotte beside her look sympathetic.
After realizing that Ella and her group didn't laugh at him, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and added slowly.
"After being expelled from my family, I also tried other succubus-inhabited areas on the continent, but all failed without exception. Male succubi can't rely on their own charm to attract men of other races and can't deceive them into giving away their magic power. Therefore, the leaders of those places refused to take in a useless person like me. Although I have Kumi to accompany me here, I still want to stay with my own people... The Kumi also think that this is the right choice for me. Therefore, I have been constantly questioning the adventurers who come here. If they can't find a way, I will erase their memories and let them go."
After saying this, Ryan stopped talking and the room fell into silence. Ella asked subconsciously because she didn't like this kind of scene.
"If we can't find it, will your memory be erased?"
"I'd love to do this... but I'm sure the ladies won't allow it... If not, please keep it a secret for us. This castle is the final resting place for me and these Kumi."
Iris, who was sitting on Ella's left hand, let out a sigh.
"Surprisingly, you're a good succubus? When you mentioned attracting other women, I thought you came here because your attempts failed. Didn't you think you were unwilling?"
"Well... I might get laughed at for saying this, but I think it's better to be faithful to one person."
Touched by what Ryan said about being faithful, Ella immediately sat up straight and placed her hands, which had been resting on her thighs, on the stone table.
"Be faithful forever? Wait, I might have a great place here. The succubus there might accept you. And as for living there, as long as Ryan can use mental magic normally, there will be no problem."
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, Camisia did say that there are succubi in the western demon territory who, like Ryan, believe in "only one partner for life." If I remember correctly, that was the answer I got when I asked Camisia how demons usually treat injuries since they don't have healing magic.
As for life, as long as Ryan can use mental magic to control the tentacles and let them secrete mucus on the patient, he can both complete the healing effect and obtain the corresponding life necessities, without any problem at all.
When Ryan heard Ella's words, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Really?"
"Well, yes, but it's in the Demon Territory, if you don't mind being a demon."
"Of course it's fine! Race isn't a barrier at all. Those who think it's a barrier are the ones with problems."
Ryan kept breathing heavily. If he didn't have enough self-control, he would definitely stand up and slam the table with joy.
"That's good, but I can't take you there directly. I can only tell you the location. If you don't believe me, I can-"
"That's not necessary. Although I haven't seen much outside, the ladies are definitely dressed like nobles of very high status. People of such status would definitely not deceive a rough man like me. Miss, you only need to tell me the location. As for the reward..."
Ryan took out a thin book with only a few dozen pages from his pocket.
"This is a book I received in a dream a year ago. The person who received it... seemed to be a woman. She said that if anyone could tell me where I was, I should give this book to her."
"Book?"
Ella tilted her head and took the thin book from Ryan in confusion. After flipping through it casually, she found that it contained knowledge about weapon casting recorded in the common language of the continent.
Since Fuka was standing right behind Ella, it was easy for her to catch a glimpse of the words.
"Isn't there nothing up here?"
"Hmm? Didn't Fukagan see it?"
Hearing the obvious discrepancy, Iris also turned to look over.
"Hmm...it's certainly not recorded. Is it possible that only Ella-chan can see it?"
"Eh? Even Iris can't see it? The instructions for forging magic weapons are written in the common language of the continent."
"Wait, the common language of the continent? Ella-chan, are you sure this isn't a magic spell?"
There was a hint of surprise in Iris's voice, as if she had discovered something incredible.
"Yes, it's the common language of the continent. It contains records of not only weapons but also armor."
"How can ordinary words express the secrets of magic, Ryan? How did you get this book?"
After trying again with Ella without success, Iris turned the topic to Ryan, but Ryan replied that he found the book next to him when he woke up from a dream, and there was no clue.
"Huh... Never mind. I'll just need Aira-chan to copy it down later. Now what are you going to do? These Kumi."
"We just need—"
As the Kumi were talking in a tone of anticipation for something, an ominous creaking sound was heard. This creaking sound had been noticed by some people before, but was covered up by the voices in the room. Until now, the sound was getting louder and louder, completely covering up the voices, to the point where it had to be paid attention to.
"what happened?"
Ella stood up and looked around. Besides the constant small vibrations, there was also dust falling from the ceiling. After coughing violently a few times due to accidental inhalation, Ella got the answer.
"Miss Ella, it's a sea monster rebellion... It's the sea monster's active period."
Standing on the balcony of the castle, Lotte pointed to the beach where the cruise ship was in the distance. Camisia and the Deep Sea Lord were fighting against a group of sea beasts together. The earthquake-like movement before was the result of a shot shot by Camisia with a bow and arrow.
Chapter 73: Parting with Ryan and the arrival of the sea beasts' active period
*创世纪6187年1月4日 晚21:11分 库米岛海岸
A slightly noisy night.
Standing on the deck, Ella was paying attention to the various magic spells flying towards her - because there was a defensive barrier on the cruise ship, there was no need to worry about safety issues - while looking worriedly at the male succubus Ryan standing on the beach.
"It's already the active season for sea beasts. Are you really not going to join us, Mr. Ryan?"
"Well, I still have some things to deal with. This year's sea beast activity is stronger than in previous years, so I want to take the villagers here to the castle for shelter temporarily. And the Kumi people don't seem to want to stay here any longer and want to go to the Demon Territory with me."
The burly Ryan bowed to Ella.
In the afternoon, after discovering that the sea beasts' active period had begun, everyone immediately returned to the cruise ship and prepared to return.
At the beginning of the sea beast active period, only weak sea beasts up to level 10 will appear. After the fifth day, powerful species such as the "Troll Octopus" and "Midnight Python" that are over level 20 will begin to appear. Although it doesn't matter if you return later with Camisia and the Deep Sea Lord, it is naturally better to choose the easier option if you can avoid them.
When Ella heard Ryan mention Kumi's existence, she awkwardly turned her eyes away and asked sheepishly.
"Are those Kumi in the hall really okay? And the Kumi who committed suicide earlier?"
"The Kumi that were smashed in the lobby on the first floor are fine. Just put the slimes they feed there, and they will slowly find the pieces and piece them back together. As for the Kumi that committed suicide, there's no way to repair them. But that's because they've experienced the greatest joy in life and died happily, so Miss Ella doesn't need to blame herself for it. It's very difficult for Kumi to break into pieces as they wish. It's normal for some Kumi to survive for hundreds of years. Miss Ella's actions simply met their wishes. The other Kumi watched them leave with envy."
Instead of feeling sad about Kumi not being able to be resurrected, Ryan even smiled to wish his friend well.
As for what he said, Kumi's death because of Ella was an incident that happened before.
When Ella was about to leave the castle, some of the braver Kumi expressed their wishes to Ella - they hoped to be picked up by Ella. When Ella picked them up out of curiosity because she didn't know the truth, they shouted in a strange tone, "It's great to be held in the hands of a cute blonde loli!" and then broke into pieces.
Kumi have the characteristic of dying completely when they feel the greatest happiness in their lives. A completely dead Kumi cannot be resurrected by being put together as usual. To a certain extent, it is not wrong to say that Kumi are creatures that died for happiness. At least it is much purer than humans - although it is very troublesome for Ella.
Of course, it wasn't just Ella. There were also many Kumi who requested things from others. For example, some Kumi wanted Iris to crush them with her feet, or wanted Shen Gan to say "bad" to them with a look of disgust. The former were kicked away by Iris angrily, and the latter were ignored by Shen Gan. However, despite this, the performance of Iris and Shen Gan seemed to be in line with their wishes, and some of them died of satisfaction.
Because they were constantly being asked requests that were almost at the level of harassment, Ella and her group quickly chose to leave. The other Kumi, stimulated by this, also decided to travel in search of happiness, so they prepared to head to the Demon Territory with Ryan.
Ryan's words made Ella let go of the burden in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she thought of the almost countless Kumi in the castle, she quickly realized another problem.
"Are you okay? That's good, but Ryan, do you have a ship? We can't take that many Kumi away without a few large sailboats, right? And what if they get attacked by sea monsters?"
As if he had expected Ella to ask this question, Ryan stood up straight and smiled as if there was nothing to worry about.
"Don't worry about that, Ms. Ella. Just have the slimes swim to the seashore and piece them together to create a boat. While it may look strange, it's reliable both for daily use and for defense."
"Ms. Ella, everything has been said to Village Chief Cook. Ms. Kamisia asked me to tell you to leave at any time."
Lotte, dressed in a maid outfit, walked out of the cabin and bowed slightly to both Lean and Ella.
"Well, I understand. Then, Mr. Ryan, let's say goodbye here. I hope you can find a companion that suits you in the Demon Territory."
"Thank you for your blessing, Miss Ella. I will do my best. See you later."
"Well, see you again."
As Ella waved goodbye to Ryan, the defensive barrier on the cruise ship lit up in the night sky, completely isolating it from the outside world. Under the gaze of Ryan and some Kumi, it gradually disappeared into the sea.
……
*创世纪6187年1月7日 上午6:17分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』
Before the monster activity period every year, the main island of Dragon Island, "Helkar", will welcome a large number of people. Among them are not only speculators from all over the world, but also nobles from other branch islands and ordinary civilians.
Although the main island of Dragon Island is not located in the center of all the dragon islands in terms of geographical location, and is even located on the edge of the south where it is most vulnerable to attacks by sea beasts, this does not hinder the entire dragon clan's trust in the island's defense capabilities. Therefore, every year during the active period of sea beasts, dragons will come to the main island for refuge. Along with this, there are also rising crime rates, resource shortages and rising prices caused by the rapid population growth.
Therefore, the main island of Dragon Island has established a fairly complete set of laws to suppress the occurrence of situations similar to refugee invasions, such as controlling the influx of population, prohibiting non-noble members from entering the island at certain times, strengthening the defense of other branch islands, and indirectly controlling the desire of the dragons on the branch islands to enter the main island. Even so, during the active period of sea beasts every year, the main island "Helkar" will still be crowded with people. Perhaps this is why the indigenous people of the main island hate outsiders.
In fact, this kind of regional discrimination is not uncommon on the mainland.
Ella stretched her body, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and sat up from the bed.
During the three days of sailing on the ship, she had hardly had a good night's sleep. The reason for this was the various magic spells that kept exploding on the cruise ship's defense barrier and the sea beasts that rushed towards her. When she was unlucky, she would encounter the "troll octopus", a giant sea beast with the appearance of an octopus. Although it was not impossible to deal with it, and it was even easy to deal with it - which resulted in octopus dishes for almost all three meals a day - the troll octopus had the habit of grabbing the cruise ship with its tentacles, and shaking the cruise ship would disturb her sleep. Under these disturbances, Ella hardly had a good sleep.
Listening carefully, the noise outside was still continuing, but the others didn't seem to react and were still sleeping soundly. Ella could only sigh and lie down again.
There were footsteps in the corridor and they stopped at the door, but the expected knocking sound did not come. Perhaps the person outside was hesitant about whether to knock on the door because he was sleeping.
