Chapter 157: Slander But Not Quite Slander
In this world, humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies, but succubi are a peculiar race; they belong to the demon race, yet are unexpectedly accepted by humans.
Some towns even actively shelter this group; for example, Axel shelters a succubus tribe, allowing them to open their own succubus shop in the city.
Probably because of this, there are quite a few adventurers in Axel who have already surpassed the newbie level but are unwilling to go to a broader world to adventure; their love for Axel, for their hometown, is truly profound.
High-level adventurers holding succubus shop discount coupons, daring to slap their chests and guarantee their words, are absolutely speaking from the heart.
As for why the succubus shopkeeper wants to obtain the agency rights for the Vitality Potion, it is mainly because they discovered that customers who consumed this potion could produce more and higher-quality Lust Energy when having unspeakable Spring Dreams.
Demons feed on Mental Energy; in order to eat their fill and eat well, the succubus shopkeeper eagerly wants to get the Vitality Potion.
【6】 Demons feed on Mental Energy; in order to eat their fill and eat well, the succubus shopkeeper eagerly wants to get the Vitality Potion.
It would be best to master the production method, but thinking about it, that's impossible, so she settles for the next best thing: wanting to control the sales channels, using the Vitality Potion to attract customers in need to their succubus shop, paying to provide Mental Energy for the succubus race.
"The Vitality Potion wasn't made by me alone; regarding cooperation, I have to discuss it with others."
Wiz said with some difficulty.
"In that case, I won't disturb you further; please, Miss Wiz, definitely consider our succubus race. Also, if you have any needs, you can come to the succubus shop to find us; we can customize the best Spring Dream for you for free."
The succubi of Axel don't do the flesh trade, but rather a customized Spring Dream service that touches the heart but not the real kidney organs.
Manipulating dreams to let customers have Spring Dreams is the signature business of their succubus shop, and both male and female customers can do it.
"Ah, that's not necessary."
The Lich lady hurriedly waved her hand.
Spring Dream — what Spring Dream could she have? A Spring Dream of herself being penetrated? Joke; even if she could, she couldn't do it.
If that Goddess-sama found out, treated her as an unchaste woman, and directly Purified her, who would she go to for justice?
"What a pity; however, if the other masters who make the Vitality Potion are willing to come to our shop to experience our service, we welcome them."
The succubus shopkeeper said this, and stuffed a handful of the succubus shop's Free Experience Tickets into the Lich lady's hand.
Wiz looked at the Free Experience Tickets in her hand, somewhat silent.
If she introduced that Goddess-sama Aqua over, would it cause a tragedy where all the succubi of the Axel Succubus Shop get Purified? The succubus shopkeeper left, not knowing what kind of dangerous existence the Free Experience Tickets she left behind might attract to her own shop.
And just after seeing off the succubus, before the Lich lady could even breathe a sigh of relief, the ones arriving at the Magic Tool Shop's front door were Arudap's guards.
"Daring to use sold goods to assassinate Lord Arudap, this shop's owner must be a Demon King Army spy!"
Leading the soldiers to the Magic Tool Shop's front door, Arudap's Butler said this; he urgently needed a scapegoat, yet directly used the tactic of framing, but he didn't realize he had directly exposed the Lich lady's true bottom line.
Wiz's identity as one of the Demon King Army's Eight Great Generals is far more than just a spy; if she were willing, she could pull up a Demon King Army Division at any time, but she has no intention of standing on the Demon King's side, only wanting to do a small Magic Tool business.
By the time Broly's party of three came here as usual, what they saw was the Lich lady standing on a thick ice wall, in a scene of confronting a group of soldiers.
"What's going on?" Aqua found it strange, and asked the Lich on the ice wall.
"Aqua-sama, listen to me, these people slander me for assassinating Axel's Lord."
Wiz said somewhat aggrievedly, using a Victim's tone.
The actual situation, however, was that she was pressing down a group of soldiers who wanted to arrest her and beating them.
Before becoming a Lich, Wiz was a top-tier adventurer, and on the Demon King Army side she held the title of Ice Witch; a group of newbie town soldiers being able to beat her would be the real miracle.
If not disguising her human identity, willing to expose her Lich abilities, Wiz could easily solo the entire city of Axel.
Summon Undead as frontliners, continuously replenish mana by absorbing Life Energy from the far rear, plus the not-insignificant number of Advanced Magic she possesses, including but not limited to Instant Teleportation, Super Explosion Magic, and other Advanced Magic; Wiz is a true one-person army Magician; without a same-level rushdown opponent, she is an invincible existence.
"Damnable Demon King Army spy, you guys being able to talk to her proves you're also Demon King Army spies; hmph, can't catch that guy for now, but can't I catch you lot?"
The somewhat bedraggled Noble Butler, seeing Wiz talking to Aqua's group here, immediately pointed the spearhead at Aqua's side, treating Broly's trio as Demon King Army spies, commanding the soldiers beside him to try to catch them.
"Demon King Army spy, you mean me?!"
Aqua was somewhat enraged; she, a dignified Goddess-sama, was actually treated as a Demon King Army spy? Immediately, Aqua rolled up her sleeves, preparing to take down the bunch in front of her who said this.
"Calm down, Aqua; these soldiers have the Town Guard insignia on them; clashing with them isn't a wise move."
"Can't I solve them?"
Broly frowned and asked; Darkness looked over, clearly seeing an Energy Bullet already charging in the boy's hand.
"If you really solve them, you'll become a Kingdom wanted criminal."
Darkness, knowing this thing was dangerous, hurriedly stopped him.
"Then they want to catch us, we just obediently let ourselves be caught?"
Aqua asked.
"Of course not; let me handle the negotiation here."
Darkness walked forward, taking out her Family Crest.
"I am Lalatina of the Darkness Family; if you don't want to cause irreparable consequences, please have someone who can make decisions come out and speak."
The Darkness Family counts as a prestigious clan, and is also one of Axel's Nobles; compared to the Arudap Family, the Darkness Family's heritage is even deeper, they can even speak with the Kingdom Royal Family — they are the ones with weight.
So, upon seeing Darkness's Family Crest and hearing the Female Knight declare her identity, the soldiers who understood the weight of this identity all stopped, looking toward the Butler at the back.
