Chapter 121: He is not afraid of death at all? (Two in one)

11 month 5 day.

Keyimu Town.

Or rather, there are no specific dates in this part of the world, at least. Just the harvest moon and stuff.

Therefore, Su Ming had to use the file loading date he had seen when he rescued Miao Xue'er to record it. Now two days have passed, and it is the 5th.

The weather is a bit strange.

It's quite cold in November. It's just like early winter.

Su Ming is self-aware. If he really wants to conquer or do something, he doesn't have enough wisdom. He discussed the future development with Jike, and later he drew inferences from one thing and Su Ming answered by the way.

But it’s nothing actually.

Su Ming had never thought about the real "restoration of the country" at all. It was not that far away. At least for now, he only needed to focus on how to get more than 100 people to follow Miao Xueer. It was not necessary that the final task required "restoration of the country".

In short, fight first, it's cool.

The lords oppress the common people and treat "gangster leaders" like Zeke as dogs?
I happened to force a few of Zeke's men, and I roughly understood his experience. It doesn't make sense that he would say good things to Zeke insincerely when he was forced to that extent. I can only say that he may not really do evil.

So Su Ming wanted to try and see if Jike could be used for his own benefit.

As we talked, I felt that Zeke was indeed smart.

I didn't expect that he would be so interested.

Maybe it is possible.

If it still doesn't work in the end, then I can only consider the worst plan of messing up the power in this town and fish in troubled waters to build up my power. The progress will be very slow... There is no other way.

Anyway, the lord who has committed many evil things must be eliminated no matter what.

Assassination, compared to discussing Buddhist scriptures and Zen, is one of Su Ming's side jobs.

It's not like I haven't received orders that require close combat.

It was nothing more than how to effectively and quickly approach the target and complete it within a strict time limit. Many evacuation routes were arranged in advance.

Of course, reconnaissance and unconventional invasion methods are also necessary.

What Su Ming has been doing these past two days is the technical reconnaissance that Xia Ye had been entrusted with in the past. It was really comfortable, and while he was shivering, his wife prepared all the necessary intelligence.

"Pooh."

There is no need to eat the black and pebbled 'steamed bread' so bitterly.

It seems that the lord will not come to town, he has to be more high-class. The prostitutes in the mother house have to go to the door to serve in person.

The flowers are real.

Wax dripping.

It only took a minute. He still called five or six people at a time. If he wasn't assassinated, he would die in his bed one day.

If the maid breaks a plate, she will be slapped.

Version t0 deserves to be beaten, but beating a normal good girl is undoubtedly a beast.

Other activities include drinking tea and playing cards. I have never seen cards like that before... they seem to be made of some kind of fine fabric. Those people are wearing gorgeous clothes that I have never seen in the town.

Finally I saw men's stockings.

A bit difficult to stretch.

He had a scruffy beard on top and white stockings on the bottom, and high heels for riding horses.

He has many guests at home.

Merchants, nobles...talking about business. In the evening, there is another lewd party.

It looks like he won’t go out these days.

"Row."

Su Ming returned to the castle in the dark and made simple flying claws and other equipment that might be used overnight.

Although it is not necessarily impossible to break in through the main gate.

But it would not be fun if I was stabbed by those lightly armored soldiers. It would be tiring.

Sneak in, capture him and hang him on the railing of the square where the people wanted to burn Mu Xueer that day.

……

the other side.

Miao Xueer felt more and more uncomfortable.

Two days in a row.

She thought that no matter what, they would continue to communicate, and she also thought that she would not care about being tied up for the second time in such a humiliating way. She wanted to show her ability.

For example, showing some financial resources.

Show your wisdom.

……

But none of them.

Su Ming goes out early and comes back late. Yesterday, he even came back at dawn.

Looks like he's very tired.

She had no idea what Su Ming was doing.

My heart feels like being scratched by a cat's claws.

She wanted to go out and take a look, but she was afraid that the civilians were still paying attention to her.

"What are you busy with?"

You can't really be helping yourself to restore your country, right?

That's totally impossible.

One is a former princess who cannot even leave the house during the day.

One is a man of unknown origin and strange accent.

How could they have the power to overthrow the current country?

Today too, I am waiting again.

I heard that Su Ming came back.

But he had no intention of coming to talk to her. Miao Xueer's face turned pale with anger.

He touched himself like that, and tied himself up... Is he a man?

Not expecting to be done.

I just simply felt insulted.

She walked out of the room and wanted to find Su Ming to argue.

But something in the living room caught her attention. It was a piece of extremely thick, pure black clothing. It even had gloves. An umbrella that opened completely different from any other umbrella she had seen.

The light-blocking ability is very high. It seems that some kind of pigment has been applied on purpose.

And a trunk big enough for her.

There are strips of cloth with writing on them.

[Two options]

【1. Clothes that won’t be exposed to the sun + parasol. 】

[2. I'll carry you out. It should be OK in the box.]

"..."

Miao Xueer's irritable mood calmed down again.

and so.

Is this what you've been busy with these past two days?

What about clothes and umbrellas that won't be exposed... There's another reason for that. Wearing that way will definitely attract attention. Once the hair color is exposed, the result will be the same. There is no room for resistance in the daytime.

box.

It would be a method I had never thought of if someone I trusted enough could carry me out.

but……

Are you so self-righteous that you think you can trust him enough to put your life in his hands?

He had just tied himself up in such a disrespectful way.

Although she thought so, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.

It has been many years since anyone cared about her like this.

If you don't want to call yourself Master, then change it to Your Highness... No, I still want to be Master.

If before the probability of recruiting Su Ming as a knight was 60%, now it is 90%.

Once she realized this feeling, Miao Xueer's cheeks suddenly became hot.

It’s not like there weren’t things I really wanted in the past, for example, the treasures offered as tributes by other nobles were very beautiful… but after getting them, I lost interest in them within a day.

But Su Ming is different.

She always thought it would be fun and she would be very happy if she could get it.

Almost involuntarily, he pushed the door open and entered Su Ming's room.

……

Su Ming heard the noise vaguely, and was also stunned when he saw a glimpse of white swaying.

What's this for?
Want to avenge yourself?
"You, go to bed."

"?"

"Go to bed. Mmmmm...why aren't you going to bed yet?"

"..."

Even in the dim room, her pupils were clearly blood red.

Did he use charm immediately after realizing he was awake?

Really want to do it?

【Favourability: 67】

But it doesn't look like that. My favorability has increased even more than before.

"I, Michelle Eliza, command you to lie down immediately."

"..."

Ok.

Just wait and see what she wants to do. If she really wants to secretly retaliate against me, I will hang her up for a while and wait until I wake up.

"Humph, you are just a commoner. You don't look that big, but you're wasting all my strength."

"..."

"You, why don't you acknowledge me as your Lord?"

"?"

Does it mean that every question must be answered while being controlled?

"It doesn't matter. Sooner or later... I will make you sincerely serve me as your master."

"..."

It seems that there is no need to answer.

But she hasn't given up on recognizing her as Lord?
"I...I actually."

Miao Xueer sat on the ground in a very ungraceful manner.

"It's the first time...I want a man to be with me so much."

what?
【Character: Miu Xueer Eliza】

【Favourability: 68】

[Description: I have a high impression of you]

That's not too high, right? Was it so easy for people to express their feelings in the past?
"Don't misunderstand me!"

"You just took advantage of the opportunity! You helped me just when I was lonely."

“And then I’ll be like this.”

"..."

"You must have something in mind for me! Otherwise you wouldn't do so many things for me."

"It's such a small box. Are you looking down on me? How can a princess hug her knees and let a commoner carry her in a box when traveling?"

"How dare you take off my shoes and touch my feet without my permission."

"In the past, he would have been guillotined."

"..."

"I am the only one with a broad mind who can reluctantly forgive your rude behavior."

"..."

"The more you don't serve me as your Lord, the more I want to see you kneel down on one knee and beg to serve me as your Lord."

"..."

"What exactly are you plotting against me?"

"Beauty, status... and nothing to do when tied up. Just tickle."

Do I have to do something timid to her before I'll be satisfied?

"you are weird."

"Different from anyone I've ever met. Very strong, but not a bad person."

"It's hard to understand what he said, but... he was willing to talk to me."

"..."

"I don't know how to get along with you. I haven't had a normal conversation with anyone in so long."

"So, the only way I know is the way of communication I used when I was a princess a long time ago." "..."

"I originally thought that we were not of the same kind. I would be very happy if you came to see me once in a while."

"Then I will give you precious treasures little by little."

"..."

"Even if I'm not a princess, I'm still a vampire!"

"When he's fierce, he'll suck you dry."

"..."

"Thank you for not being afraid of me... I won't suck your blood casually. I told you last time that I was too hungry to resist... Even if I do suck your blood, you have to beg me to do it!"

"..."

"Just wait. I don't care what you are planning, I just want you to serve me willingly."

"Humph! Then, I'll tie you up in that humiliating way too! Begging you to be my knight."

Finally left.

Su Ming hadn't closed his eyes yet, but he saw her pupils flicker again and the person left.

Really immune.

As long as you hold a knife you are immune.

【Favourability: 71】

So, what to do?
We haven't even seen each other in two days, and I just treat this place as a place to sleep, but her favorability towards me is still increasing.

But Su Ming was not sure whether this affection was a normal affection or an affection that wanted him to be a servant. Is there a difference? It was a bit confusing.

Su Ming sat up.

Suddenly I thought of something else.

Oh no, she thought that she would be affected by her ability and forget about it. Would it come every day from now on?
morning.

Su Ming got up very early, but after going out, he found that Miao Xueer, who was supposed to be in the room during the day, was now in the living room.

"What a shabby box... Who do you think I am?"

"A mere civilian is carrying me out."

"..."

"But I think you are thoughtful. This is a treasure given to you. Please accept it with gratitude."

A box made by a random carpenter, made with the money she gave him.

And then exchange it for a gem?
"This stone was taken from an evil wealthy businessman. It's worth a fortune. Why, you can't see the value?"

"Uh... I think it should be quite valuable."

"Hmph, it's good to know. Don't show it to the public easily until you find a suitable buyer. Of course... you, you can collect it if you want."

Why blush?

"Also, don't think that the royal family must be extremely luxurious and know nothing. I can't cook just because I don't need to eat. As long as I want, I can easily make it."

You mean the carbon on the table?
"You, what's the problem?"

"With all due respect, it's carbon."

"Nonsense! How could the grilled meat be charcoal? I used the same method as you... and the one used by the palace to cook rabbit meat."

Facing Miao Xueer's frowned brows.

Su Ming touched his cheek, picked up a piece of charcoal and threw it on the table.

"Crack."

Everyone can hear the crisp sound.

"Don't do these unnecessary things. I don't need the treasure for now. I'll ask for it later when I need it."

"You...you trampled..."

Before Miao Xueer could finish her words, Su Ming had already set off.

He didn't want to stay any longer.

My heart felt hairy.

How can a stay-at-home vampire girl not fall in love with an old man who looks like a loser but actually has some abilities?

Go fight now to refresh your mind. Don't let this vampire influence you.

……

Miao Xueer's face was very cold.

Pick up the crushed pieces and chew them.

“Crack, crack…”

Isn't it just like carbon?

The meat was not cooked, so I turned up the heat. Suddenly, it was like this. I tried it several times in a row, and the results were almost the same.

This is a reward from the master!
asshole.

It's so easy to waste!

"It tastes so bad..."

Although after she was able to skip meals, Mu Xueer only ate salad to maintain her normal habits, her sense of taste was still there.

It's really unpalatable.

But I am a princess!
A poor princess is still a princess!
Shouldn't he be happy that he condescended to show his ability by cooking something for the common people, and feel that he, as the prospective host, is approachable?

This is what my father said. If you want to have a good relationship with your subordinates, you have to be approachable.

"..."

Miao Xueer gritted her teeth and poured all the charcoal in the plate into the stove.

Don't underestimate me because I used to be a princess!

One day, I will definitely make you kneel on one knee, kiss the back of my feet, and offer your loyalty!

Even if she didn't sleep, she would still make food that Su Ming couldn't refute.

box……

She tried to squeeze in, but it was tight.

This kind of backpack is no different from the one that ordinary people use to carry firewood. Only a poor man like him could come up with it.

Imagine being carried out on your back.

He is very powerful, so he will protect himself if something happens. Knight...

It feels very warm.

But on second thought, he is really annoying now!
Humph.

At night, she charmed him and made him sleep in a tree.

Eh?
Why can’t I get out?!

……

Su Ming had already forgotten what happened in the castle and focused on scouting the area.

Confirmed that the Lord will be at the mansion today as well.

He went to the square to see which place was suitable for hanging the lord.

"Lord? Haha... Lord, of course it's very good."

Unlike when talking about Mu Xueer who was a heretic, no one said anything bad about the lord.

But looking at their unwillingness to talk and their looks of looking around, everyone knows that there must have been some serious consequences of the liberalization of speech.

He must be the one who deserves to be killed.

It is evil to judge others at random. But it is okay for players.

"Huh...it's okay."

"It's the same as being able to complete so many orders. It doesn't matter whether it's real life or a game."

night.

Su Ming changed into dark clothes that could better hide in the darkness, and went to the lord's mansion with the prepared equipment.

It didn't take long.

Sneaking into the second floor, in the largest room... he stabbed the lord to death in front of several prostitutes and nobles.

It was not easy to drag his fat body, but Su Ming felt a little uncomfortable about cutting off his head.

In this moment of hesitation, the guards of the lord's mansion reacted and came.

"..."

Su Ming felt a bit overwhelmed when he saw people rushing in wearing light armor.

Now it's troublesome.

……

Deep in the forest.

Miao Xueer waited for a long time but Su Ming didn't come back.

It will be dawn again in a little while.

What on earth is he doing?

Is it necessary to stay outside for so long just to find a way to get out?
No way... is he in danger too?

He rescued himself in public. It was possible that he would be recognized and surrounded.

But his skills are better than mine...

Although she said so, Miao Xueer still couldn't help but feel a little worried. She wanted to know what Su Ming was doing, and she didn't want Su Ming to be in danger.

She hadn't been to town for a few days. She usually went out for a walk even if it was just to relax. She changed into inconspicuous clothes.

Exit the castle.

As soon as Mu Xueer arrived near the town, she heard a noisy commotion. It was the square where she was burned before.

A lot of people gathered.

The flag that was originally used to fly the current kingdom... was hung with a person.

"You see? I said I would kill him and I will."

"Isn't he just a noble? What's there to be afraid of?"

Covered in blood, a familiar figure was pulling the rope under the railing. The fat corpse was hanging higher and higher. Everyone could see it clearly.

"He...he killed the lord?!"

"It's over, we're done..."

"No, not only did they kill the lord... I just came over there, and everyone in the lord's mansion either surrendered or died. Not a single one was breathing... Just him."

"..."

Miao Xueer didn't understand what these civilians were thinking.

She just stared at Su Ming blankly, with many thoughts flashing through her mind.

'Do you want to restore your country?'

I remember he asked this.

But Miao Xueer never took it seriously.

Return to the castle silently.

Miao Xueer had been sitting in the living room waiting. When Su Ming came back after changing his clothes, she didn't care about being seen drinking blood. She picked up the cup and drank it all.

"What the hell do you... want to do?"

"Ok?"

"You said restoration of the country...are you kidding?"

"When did I ever say I was joking?"

"..."

Miao Xueer didn't understand.

A man who suddenly appeared.

Saved myself.

Can talk to himself and doesn't dislike being a vampire.

It's not just that.

Do you want to regain your status as a princess?
"who……"

"Who asked you to kill the lord and do that?!"

Why are you so angry?
Miao Xueer didn't know either.

It is not correct to say that it is because we might be affected by the chaotic situation that follows.

It is not right to say that the person who killed the lord actually returned to the castle leisurely, turning a place that people would not come to into a place that they must conquer.

She just saw Su Ming standing under the flag, covered in blood... and felt scared.

She never thought about restoring her country. She gave up 30 years ago. She was satisfied just to find a place to live.

What is the path to restoration of the country?

It's a road full of thorns and threats of death.

Is he not afraid of death at all?
For the first time, Miao Xueer felt that she could not see through Su Ming at all, but she also fully understood the differences between her and Su Ming.

Her expectation was that Su Ming would serve her as the master and stay here with her.

And Su Ming’s expectation… was a real rebellion that even the nobles didn’t dare to even think about.
