Charlie looked back every two steps and left reluctantly.
Elsa returned to the room and lay on the bed. Her fingers slowly slid from her neck to her jaw, gently pressing and caressing her lips. The wound on her lips had healed in a short time, leaving only Charlie's lip color and a touch of transparent color, as well as Charlie's faint fragrance and the soft touch that seemed to still linger there.
If anything, Elsa did it on purpose.
"I have to say, it's really unskillful... But this is also very cute..."
Elsa murmured, her eyes fixed on the empty ceiling. Her fingertips slowly hooked the redness under her lips and brought it between them. Her tongue slowly rolled over them, squeezing them out of shape between her lips.
Then Elsa revealed an indescribable bitter smile - just now, she was actually moved, and then did that kind of thing in a clearly provocative manner.
Even if you stop in time, it still happens.
My heart is wavering.
Elsa admitted that she was attracted and captured by Shirley's cuteness, beauty and innocent eyes - even she could not completely ignore Shirley's ardent love.
This was somewhat different from Elsa's original idea and plan, causing her to struggle internally. She calmed her excited heartbeat and opened the panel.

【-】
Elsa stared at the panel in front of her, her eyes landing on Charlie Bran's name - it hadn't been there before in the fortress, and she didn't know when it had appeared.
The favorability is only 114, and just as Aisha guessed, 100 is not the upper limit.
but……
Is it possible to achieve this level with only 114?
Elsa suddenly felt that maybe she should re-evaluate her favorability towards the other people.
After seeing the names of the others, Aisha's eyes wavered slightly.
……
------------
116. You are not allowed to go anywhere
The next day, Elsa saw Charlie again during dinner.
The breakfast provided by the town hall was very rich, but to Elsa, richness or not was just the difference between rough and even rougher. After all, having lived in this world for so long, Elsa was no longer picky about these things.
"Lady Faris, I wonder how you rested last night?"
Basil Bran still looked generous and walked forward with a smile.
"Thanks to you, last night was wonderful."
Elsa smiled naturally, revealing a hint of something else - in Elsa's mind, she imagined Charlie's cute and tender face and soft, sweet lips.
The man in front of her, who was Charlie's father, naturally didn't know what happened between Charlie and Elsa last night. His face had more of a formal expression, which was a display of Elsa's identity and status.
"That would be great."
They chatted briefly, and then Basel went to chat with Ryan and others for a while.
At this time, Charlie, who had been dressed neatly, appeared in front of Elsa - Charlie today was a little different from the past, and Elsa could feel the change. Charlie became more attractive and charming.
Indeed, Charlie got up very early - after kissing Elsa last night, she returned to her room and did not sleep all night. Today, she also started dressing up early. She seldom did this in the past, but today, there was someone she wanted to meet seriously, so she spent more time on dressing up than usual. She carefully applied some blush to make her fair face more gentle. She changed into an embellished dress, which was a very popular style from the southern countries. She had a silk bow tie at the neckline, and the tulle cuffs and hems made her soft and delicate skin look even more delicate and fair.
Charlie's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention. Even the magicians from Dammas Fortress were amazed. Charlie's appearance was very good. Although she was not as beautiful as a fairy, she was indeed a rare beauty. After becoming a vampire, her skin became particularly fair. Her red eyes and snow-white hair added a touch of tenderness and charm to her. Usually, she suppressed the charm of the blood clan with her cold appearance, but at this moment, the charming temperament she exuded naturally was enough to make countless people fall for her.
Even Bazel was stunned - as a father, he had never seen his daughter show such a side.
Charlie didn't care about other people's opinions. She just wanted to see Elsa. The moment she saw Elsa, her eyes were filled with a hint of panic and great joy.
"Elsa——"
She called out to Elsa softly, her voice soft and clear, the girl's words like mellow wine, wanting to speak but not speaking. She still addressed Elsa the same way, but Elsa could hear a layer of shyness and anticipation, as well as an inexplicable girl's reverie.
She quickly ran and jumped to Elsa, with a clean and beautiful blush on her cheeks. Although it was not intentional, she looked like a little girl running towards her lover at this moment. But when she got close to Elsa, she hesitated timidly.
"Good morning...Elsa..."
She said, her eyes unconsciously attracted to Elsa's red lips, and then hurriedly looked away - she just felt that Elsa was really beautiful, like a work of art.
"I've never seen you wear this outfit before... but it suits you very well, Charlie. You look great today."
Elsa smiled and praised - this praise was not intended to tease, but was indeed from Elsa's heart.
She could tell immediately that Charlie had put a lot of thought into her attire, and this little girl's thoughtfulness wasn't a problem for her. Elsa naturally appreciated and appreciated the fact that a girl had taken the time to dress up for her.
Sure enough, when Charlie received Elsa's praise, her beautiful burgundy eyes immediately blossomed with brilliance. She smiled sweetly, her eyes dodging and looking around, but she never left Elsa far away - after what happened yesterday, she felt her heart beating fast when facing Elsa.
"Ai, Aisha is also very beautiful..."
Charlie mustered up her courage, her voice so soft, so thin it was almost inaudible.
Elsa just smiled.
If it were last night, she would have definitely teased the lovely Charlie, but now there were so many people watching, and she didn't want to embarrass Charlie just because of her momentary interest.
……
The arrival of Charlie made several male magicians almost unable to take their eyes off her - unlike Elsa, who was beautiful and pleasing to the eye and had a generous personality, Charlie's beauty was piercing and extremely lethal, which came from her innate charm as a vampire.
However, with Charlie standing next to Elsa, those gazes could only be restrained a little.
But there were also some who were a little bolder and would steal a few more glances, but they were quickly warned by Ryan's eyes - Ryan and Marvin were relatively well-behaved and gentlemanly. They would not stare at girls, nor would they allow their men to do such disrespectful things.
After all, one of them is a church member, and the other has practiced with the old priest for a long time, so their mental states are different. On the other hand, they also noticed that the relationship between Charlie and Elsa seemed very good, so they were naturally more cautious when dealing with Charlie.
After the meal, Brahmot and Father Angus also arrived. Everyone put forward some suggestions on finding the traces of the black monster and countermeasures for unexpected situations. Ryan and Marvin made adjustments according to the actual situation. Although with Elsa here, they probably only need to focus on the research and discussion of the black monster from beginning to end, but prevention is essential.
Bazel and Charlie added some details on the side. Bazel was the mayor and had a clear understanding of the overall situation, deployment and personnel of the town, while Charlie could give more support from the perspective of an adventurer - the Great Western Forest could be said to be the home ground of adventurers.
"Then, this is the arrangement for this operation—"
Aisha said, roughly summarizing it.
"——We are primarily responsible for investigating and defeating the black monsters. Our primary goal is to eliminate the source of these black monsters, the Defilers. To do this, we need the assistance of Mr. Bazel and Mr. Bremut."
Bazel took over and continued, "I will send more people to strengthen the town's defenses. If there is any danger, we will light the haystacks and prepare for defense."
Father Angus also said: "The church will also provide assistance."
Bramute said, "I will recruit experienced adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild to accompany me. No one is more familiar with the environment in the forest than them."
At this moment, Charlie's eyes immediately lit up, but Bazel on the side immediately glared at her, as if warning her: You just stay in the town and don't go anywhere!
……
------------
117. The Second Gold Medal Adventurer of Weilin Town
Charlie finally stayed.
There was nothing she could do about it. Her father, Bazel Bran, would naturally not allow Charlie to go to the forest with Elsa, Ryan and the others.
Charlie always showed a yearning for adventure and liked to act as an adventurer, which was enough to give Bazel a headache, but the town was still a human territory, and it was generally safer, and the guards were also here. Once any danger occurred, they would loyally step forward to protect Charlie at any time - but it was different in the forest, which was the lair of monsters. Who knew how many bloodthirsty monsters were waiting for them in there? It was too dangerous.
Bazel didn't know the secret between Elsa and Charlie. As a father, he just didn't want what happened more than a year ago to happen again. Charlie was an only child and had been living with Bazel since her mother's death. What happened a year ago was a scar for both father and daughter, leaving bad memories not only in Charlie's heart, but also in Bazel's.
So in the end, Charlie could only reluctantly say that she would stay. Father Angus would also stay like her. Father Angus was quite powerful, but his knowledge of the forest was not much more than that of a good adventurer. Instead of letting him go with them, it would be better to let him stay in the town to prepare for any eventuality.
The manpower was decided. Ryan and others brought horses, while Bramuth brought a few people.
"Let me introduce them. These people are selected by our guild. Each of them is an experienced and outstanding adventurer."
Elsa looked at these people. They were all unfamiliar faces to her. After all, Elsa had been "retired" for a year.
Like most adventurers, they were dressed differently. Although their equipment looked a bit rough and dirty, this look was more suitable for hiding themselves in the forest. Most of the belts and buckles on their bodies were hung with potions and auxiliary weapons that could be used at hand.
The first person in the group was a relatively young man. He stepped forward and introduced himself:
"My name is Kus, a gold medal adventurer. I'm very familiar with this forest. If I'm just leading the way, no one is more suitable than me—but let me tell you in advance, I won't enter the area west of the central lake."
There was a hint of arrogance and sharpness in his expression. Facing Elsa's scrutinizing gaze, he seemed at ease. After glancing at Elsa and the others, he set his eyes on Elsa, slightly lowered the corners of his mouth, and looked away.
After he finished speaking, the others introduced themselves one by one.
The rest of the people were silver medal adventurers. Unlike Kus who came to Weilin Town as an adventurer, they had all lived in Weilin Town since childhood. On the one hand, Bramuth knew them well, and on the other hand, they were more familiar with the situation in the forest.
These adventurers primarily serve as guides.
Most of these adventurers are warriors and hunters - Ryan and others are almost all mages. If Aisha is not there, they can also organize a very effective fighting force.
"I'm Aisha Faris. I used to be a nun here. I'm in charge of this place for the time being."
Elsa said, briefly introducing the situation and what they needed to do. Bramuth had already explained these to them in detail, so Elsa just mentioned it briefly.
After saying that, Aisha finally turned her gaze to Kus.
"Mr. Kus, are you a magic swordsman?"
Aisha asked.
Elsa noticed he had a silver arming sword hanging from his waist, and a dark silver sword on his back. It looked like a magical sword forged with mithril—this was almost a standard weapon for a magic swordsman. Only the rare swordsman who specialized in magic to assist in combat, often called magic swordsmen, would use this weapon.
As one of the only two gold medal adventurers in Weilin Town, Kus's strength was naturally recognized. Magic Swordsmen required simultaneous cultivation of martial arts and magic, a difficult and therefore rare skill. However, each Magic Swordsman was a versatile warrior capable of handling a variety of situations in combat, which was their strength.
In response to Aisha's question, Kus raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms over his chest - it was obvious that he was very proud of his identity as a magic swordsman.
"of course."
He was concise and to the point.
"What's west of Central Lake? You said you wouldn't enter the area west of Central Lake—why?"
Aisha stopped paying attention to the weapon behind him and continued to ask.
The Central Lake refers to a lake deep in the forest, which is also the source of the river flowing through the town. Due to its location in the center of the forest, few people have seen it with their own eyes. Elsa has been there several times. It is a lake with very beautiful scenery, but the monsters living nearby are much more powerful than the monsters in the outer areas of the forest.
When asked this, Kus's eyes became serious.
"If Miss Sister doesn't know, I can tell you now—there is a dragon living there. Entering its territory means death, and I don't want to die so early."
"dragon?"
"A real dragon—I saw it with my own eyes."
At this time, Bramuth added, "About a year ago, Kus reported a dragon sighting, but we later sent people to investigate and found nothing. It's been so long that we've almost forgotten about it. But at a time like this, we really can't let our guard down. If a dragon really exists, that place is indeed quite dangerous."
“How many witnesses were there?”
"For now, it's just Kuss."
Kus frowned and emphasized, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"I see... I understand."
Elsa nodded, but did not explicitly express her belief or disbelief, nor did she explicitly say that she would not enter the west side of the central lake. Elsa was considering whether the dragon, if it existed, would be related to the black monster.
To put it another way, dragons are not completely uncommunicable. They are powerful creatures with intelligence. If there really is a dragon living there, then instead of blindly investigating the forest for traces of the black monster, perhaps finding it directly can get some clues - ordinary dragons are not more powerful than demon generals and are not worth fearing.
"Let's stop here. Mount up and set off! Mr. Brahmud, I'll ask you to lead the way from now on."
"give it to me."
Everyone got on their horses one after another and rode out of the town.
—By the way, Elsa still can’t ride a horse.
