A horse carriage walked past the entrance gate of the Nestrad Kingdom, the horse carriage had a pure white complexion with religious ornaments decorating it. Of course this made the number of NPCs that were around the entrance of the Nestrad Kingdom into a frenzy.
A young man was seen descending from the horse-drawn carriage and passing by several soldiers guarding the entrance of the Nestrad Kingdom. From inside the carriage, Saintess Vallie gave her a farewell by waving her hand.
The young man replied with a smile and bowed to give respect and then walked away.
Tracing the street in front of him, the young man was glued to a map screen that covered his gaze. On the map there is a small dot that reads Nekoya Inn which is the destination.
The small screen then closes and is replaced by a new notification that appears.
[Special Quest – Saintess HOPE (Case Closed) !]
[Detective Special Effect Active!]
[Congratulations! You have risen level 15 to level 30!]
The young man was shocked as the notification screen appeared. How not to be surprised, the rewards he received multiplied by a hundred times. His facial expression slowly became a smile of excitement.
It seems, he managed to get what he wanted.
“So right..since I've earned 10 Gold Coins before it means that only 20 Gold Coins are doubled after the Quest is completed. What can I do. earning 200 Gold Coins is enough. I don't know why he didn't ask for a fee waiver, but I did.”.
“Hmm. if the market price of selling 1 Gold Coin about one million rupiah means 200 Gold Coins equivalent to two hundred million rupiah!”
“What is this? I'm suddenly rich!”
The young man was happy as well as worried about this income. He was happy because with the money he made this would cover the cost of his sister's care but he was also worried about bringing in that kind of money.
Although the 200 Gold Coins had not been sold, but he was still worried about carrying that much money.
The young man was used to living with enough money. Although his parents sent him monthly money for the needs of him and his sister, the money still had enough left over for emergency purposes. Only, the rest of the money was still not enough to cover the emergency needs experienced by his sister at this time.
His urgent matter had been resolved with the 200 Gold Coins he had.
The young man could have sold all the Gold Coins he had in the official forum of Isekai Online. However, it seemed that he was already interested in this game world.
There are many interesting things in this game world and he wants to dive in it.
“Kurasa.. 100 Gold Coins for sale and 100 Gold Coins for game deposits was enough” with that determination. He tried not to rush into a decision.
As he walked while thinking about his future plans. His footsteps had led him to an inn with a black cat symbol at its entrance.
The reason he chose Nekoya Inn as his goal was very simple. That's because the Nekoya Inn has access in the form of [Local Market Information] which is useful for collecting information in the form of rumors circulating. A local information network that observes its territory, it can be a very useful information weapon. Moreover, Nekoya Inn is an inn that is in demand by the Player as a save point.
The young man entered the Nekoya Inn.
The door opens automatically and features a reception desk. The arrival of the young man was immediately greeted by two cat-eared girls wearing white kimonos.
“Welcome to Nekoya Inn!”
“There can we help you with, Mister?”
The two girls alternately gave a friendly that had become the standard of the procedure.
The young man approached the two cat-eared girls.
“I want to rent a VIP room and..”
The young man suddenly fell silent.
“One set of catnip fixtures with eucalyptus on top.”
The two girls seemed calm to hear him and gave the young man a crystal-shaped room key.
The young man then handed them one Gold Coin.
“Good to enjoy the main course, Mr. ku” the two cat-eared girls said the sentence together and bowed.
The young man simply turned around and activated the crystal key. In an instant his body moved to a room with a room layout that was so luxurious.
[Nekoya Inn, VIP Room no.1, 7 days remaining (Real World)]
“One Gold Coin for seven days real world. This room is not so bad” the young man muttered small.
The young man saw a small book on the bed. He picked up the little book and looked at the contents inside.
“Even I can choose servant girl and night girl visit? I guess I have to check again who this game is made for. If a small child plays this, they will mature prematurely” the young man puts the little book on his bed.
“Oh, what are you doing because this is a special room so there is a service like this?”
The young man was pensive to understand his current condition. Actually, he just wanted to try using his information network listed on the [Intelligence Exchange]. Nekoya Inn has a secret code to get a special room by saying “A set of catnip fixtures with eucalyptus on it”. That secret code would continue to change and if he wanted to obtain that code, he would have to buy it on the [Intelligence Exchange] menu for the price of one Gold Coin.
The young man did not expect that he would get this kind of service and room. At least it paid for his curiosity about how to use the [Intelligence Exchange] feature. Although the results are unexpected, but worth the payment.
“It's quite interesting. but I'm already feeling tired.it's time I went home” the young man opened his character menu screen and looked for the option of option logout.
“Oh! Almost forgetfulness.. save points!” the young man again looked for a save point option option that turned out to be adjacent to the logout option.
Once enough was felt, the young man pressed the option of voting logout. In an instant his gaze turned black and his character in this game world slowly devoured by the black light and then disappeared.
-----&&&-----
Right after Saintess Vallie left the Temple of the Goddess Relena. A letter sent by one of the royal Generals reached into the palace. The letter was wrapped inside a small cloth bag attached to the feet of the little dragon.
The king of the Nestrad kingdom, Alexander Allen, was reading the little letter. His body trembled after seeing what was written in it. While the Queen of this kingdom, Victoria Valencia was drinking a tea and realized the change in attitude of the King.
“Vi-Victoria.. did you already know this would happen?” ask the King.
“If we talk about Saintess Vallie. Sooner or later it will be broken, right? Wouldn't it seem strange why a division of royal warriors guarded Boot Camp Serre and cleared the place after the massacre between Saintess's forces and the royal forces” replied the Queen calmly.
“If you know this, it is better that I go to defeat the Demon King rather than bear the anger of Saintess Vallie.” The King's sweat drips a little like a heavy rain.
“What are you talking about, baby? Who was the last to defeat the Demon King and end human warfare with demons?”
“Kuh!” king Alexander said.
Queen Victoria put down the empty tea cup and stood up from her seat. “Isn't it time we attended the meeting?”
“But.. how about Saintess Vallie?”
“Better we take care of our deepest problems first” advice the Queen.
“You have a point, thank you Victoria for reminding me when it matters.”
“Sama-sama, my dear.”
Due to an urgent need, the King and Queen held an emergency meeting between the royal nobles. The reason the meeting was held was because one of the sealed disaster sources had been stolen with the alleged perpetrator being one of the royal nobles.
However, the main purpose of the meeting was to buy time and find an excuse to confront Saintess Vallie who brought a young man investigating Boot Camp Servere.
Behind the authority and fierce aura of a King, there is a deep fear of fighting his in-laws.
-----&&&-----
The Temple of Goddess Relena was tightly closed. From the outside there were no signs of life at all. Saintess Vallie is now shutting herself away from the outside world.
Meanwhile, the King and Queen of the Nestrad kingdom who were in front of the entrance of the Relena Goddess Temple were looking at each other.
They had arrived at the Temple of the Goddess Relena to meet Saintess Vallie and explain the situation that was going on lately.
“Sepi once..” said the King.
“It's like Saintess Vallie expelling us to go home soon or our presence is not expected by Saintess Vallie?” reply to the Queen.
“Oh! Goddess Relena.. why did you give me a trial by giving me in-laws like this?” The king slowly closed his face and wiped the sweat that had dripped down his face.
Suddenly, the main altar door opened and displayed a line of Priests welcoming the arrival of the King and Queen.
“Eh? What is this?” The king was amazed by this situation.
“It seems, Saintess Vallie changed her mind” replied the Queen who walked up the steps towards the main altar door.
“Vi-Victoria.. wait!” The king hurriedly followed the Queen's steps.
Their presence was welcomed by the Priestess and directed towards one of the rooms where Saintess Vallie had been waiting.
In general, this preferential treatment looks normal but for the King who leads this kingdom and knows how scary Saintess Vallie feels its own terror with this treatment. He had to be careful not to disturb the sleeping lion.
They arrived at one of the private rooms. The room was open and featured Saintess Vallie sitting while reading a book.
Saintess Vallie gestured to leave herself to the Priestess who was in her room.
They left this room and closed the door. Saintess Vallie stood up from her seat and cast a magic that enveloped this entire room.
Saintess Vallie sealed this place so that no sound could be heard from outside.
“Now it is safe.The conversation we will discuss is a high-level secret. So, can you explain what happened Alexander!?” The expression on Saintess Vallie's face was smiling but the aura around her said something else.
King Alexander who was holding himself back from panicking slowly trembled. His brain's order to remain calm was instantly betrayed by his body's response. Beside her, Queen Victoria bowed her body to pay her respects to Saintess Vallie.
“We haven't seen each other in a long time, Mama” Queen Victoria said.
“You have not changed at all, Victoria” reply Saintess Vallie.
Saintess Vallie looked at King Alexander, who was trembling. “Not to be afraid like that, you have also tried hard to overcome this situation, right?”
“Ehh?” King Alexander was silent. The fear that was slowly taking hold of her was slowly dissipated by the sentence Saintess Vallie spoke. He felt that there was something strange about Saintess Vallie's suddenly gentle attitude towards him.
King Alexander stood with his mind running.
“What's with the boy, Victoria?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Mama, this boy just executed a noble who had stolen the source of the disaster” Queen Victoria replied to him while taking the tea that had been provided.
Saintess Vallie and Queen Victoria sat opposite each other and continued their discussion.
“What disaster source do you mean?”
“Sacred Blood Fortune.”
“What? why would such a thing be stolen so easily? Aren't there seven layers of safety magic protecting it?”
“Although there are seven layers of safety magic, it would be useless if the person closest to us knew how to break it.”
“So, who is this stupid traitor who has been able to break through that layer of security magic?”
“Viscount Barknelyn” replied Queen Victoria.
“God.. That notoriously greedy Viscount Barknelyn? How much did he get paid to betray you?”
“Actually, not only Viscount Barknelyn dared to do that?”
“Hey! why can't you take care of your subordinates properly anyway!”
“Pardon us, Mama. but things have gone awry ever since the demon plant sect started moving. Further investigations are still being conducted to find out their plans.”
“You guys have done an investigation on the sect?” ask Saintess Vallie. He was also a little curious about the movements of the sect.
Queen Victoria nodded, “But to date there is no new information we have got.”
“Why are you guys so bad with this problem, Ah!” Saintess Vallie suddenly recalled something. He fingered his pocket and took out the remaining [Small Phenolphthalein Toolkits] and [Small Luminol Toolkits].
“Do I introduce to someone who fits this job?” saintess Vallie asked as she handed the two items over.
“Mama, what is this?” queen Victoria asked as she received an item given by Saintess Vallie.
“Believe it or not, the liquid was able to detect blood. Thanks to that. I know that we are pursuing a mix between Succubus and Vampire.”
“Huh???” Queen Victoria meets Saintess Vallie.
“I know someone, thanks to that person we now know how troublesome his sealed Demon is in Sacred Blood Fortune.”
“The person don't-don't.” Queen Victoria's facial expression meant she knew who this was.
“It looks like you know who I mean here, they work quickly apparently.”
“How could we not know it, if Mama herself intervenes and comes to the place anyway.” Queen Victoria looked at the two items currently in her hands.
“According to reports.one of these liquids produces a shining blue light. Is that true, Mama?” ask the curious Queen Victoria.
“That's true, I've tested it myself with both hands and my eyes” replied Saintess Vallie.
“B-how can it be?” Queen Victoria astonished.
“You want me to show you how?”
Queen Victoria nodded. He wondered how the two fluids he still held worked.
“But.it seems we need a few drops of blood” Saintess Vallie's gaze was directed at King Alexander followed by Queen Victoria who was looking at King Alexander.
“Kurasa.. we have found a suitable source” Queen Victoria smiled and walked towards King Alexander who had been silent since.
King Alexander's daydream suddenly broke out as he sensed an approaching danger.
“Vi-Victoria?” doubtfully. King Alexander asked as Queen Victoria walked over to him with a smile.
A smile far from tenderness. The smile was filled with a terrifying aura that enveloped Queen Victoria.
“It doesn't hurt kok” Queen Victoria smiled.
“What?” without hearing the answer to that question. King Alexander was forced to fly against the wall behind him.
King Alexander rose from the crack of the wall that formed his posture. He felt fine without any injuries sustained by the impact. On the other hand, Queen Victoria's palm let out a small droplet of blood.
“What the fuck is Victoria? Did I do anything wrong?” king Alexander said as he cleaned the dust on his clothes.
“Nothing. Just curious” Queen Victoria again sat opposite Saintess Vallie.
“U.. Mama?” looking at the reaction of Saintess Vallie who was holding her head. Of course it made Queen Victoria a little worried.
“You still haven't changed, Victoria” reply Saintess Vallie.
“What?” Queen Victoria tilted her head.
Ignoring that follow-up question, Saintess Vallie took the remaining [Cotton Swab] to take a blood sample on Queen Victoria's palm.
Saintess Vallie demonstrates how to use both devices. Queen Victoria seemed so focused on seeing how the two fluids work.
When the two liquids react and show a change in color. Queen Victoria's eyes became more serious.
“Isn't this very useful when it comes to evidence of a murder case?”
Saintess Vallie nodded, a sign of agreeing with the revelation.
“If only the royal Alchemist could make it, how many murder cases could be proven with that liquid” this time King Alexander got into their conversation.
“Anu.. Mama...where is that person currently?” ask Queen Victoria.
Faced with this question, Saintess Vallie was confused to answer it. The young man he met was a Player with no clear address.
“Come on. Maybe he is still in this kingdom or has been adventuring out” replied Saintess Vallie.
“Once? It's a pity to see him back. Please tell me that I want to meet him, Mama.”
“Fufufu... What is this? Infidelity?” goda Saintess Vallie's.
“I'm just curious about the person who made this liquid. If I can, I want mass production to facilitate the investigation of the murder case.”
“Once? Is there anything else that interests you?”
“Oh, one more thing, how do you know that the Demon we are after has a mixture of Succubus and Vampire descendants?”
“That's. because that guy..this is Victoria. Do you believe that human blood is able to show where he came from?”
“What does that mean, Mama?”
“I just summarized a little words from the young man, where he came from there was a case of car theft and the car was found very far from the location of his theft. During the investigation, a mosquito was found in a position to have sucked the blood of a person. Then the mosquito was brought in to be examined and there was the blood of someone who matched that of someone who lived there.. DNA or whatever it is.”
“Mobile? A mosquito? Is he from another kingdom?”
“Well, he's a Player. So maybe he's from another kingdom.”
“P-PLAYER!!!” said Queen Victoria.
“Why are you surprised like that, Victoria?”
“Of course I was surprised, Mama.we are talking about the Player here.The weakest level they are strong enough to fight the novice warrior of the royal army. If this guy we're looking for is a player, he could be anywhere. For the time being, I will look for him in the Adventure.” Guild Master
“Thank you very much, Victoria.”
“So, this person who discovered that the sealed figure in Sacred Blood Fortune was a descendant between Succubus and Vampire?”
“Uhuh.” Saintess Vallie reciprocated by enjoying her teacup.
“This will be very troublesome” said Queen Victoria while stroking her head hair.
“To that end.be careful of you and remain alert until the existence of the creature is found” Saintess Vallie looked at them seriously.
“We understand!” reply King and Queen together.
“And one more.. The Temple of the Goddess Relena will participate in this investigation. Since we already know what to face, as much as possible we make preparations for emergencies.”
Without any coercion from both sides, they work together to overcome this crisis.
