Chapter 412: Fetch Them Back

"My Lord Priest! I was beaten!"

The squad leader swam up before the Priest, wailing loudly to complain.

The Priest held a scepter carved from a thousand-year-old ancient tree, its top inlaid with a gemstone emitting a soft glow.

Upon seeing the blood-stained gauze on the girl's head, her expression changed instantly.

Anger immediately surged in her heart.

But she instantly recalled this brat's nature, and remembered their location was not her territory, so she quickly calmed down.

She looked at the adjutant behind her and asked coldly.

"You say, how was Betty injured?"

"My Lord Priest! I was injured by a stinking bitch! We were just walking on the road when that bitch suddenly ran out and chased us!" Before the adjutant could speak, Betty immediately snatched the words.

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what kind of person you are! From childhood to adulthood, you've never spoken a single truth!"

Betty was furious.

Thinking of Rod's handsome face and muscular build, she disregarded the respectful title:

"Mother! I've been beaten! What you should do immediately is avenge me, not ask questions here and there! If you keep asking, they will have run away!"

"They? More than one?"

"Of course! That dog couple attacked me together to succeed! Otherwise, how could I have lost?"

"Shut up! Do you think this is still Jing Mo? To the north is Shuǐshuǐ City, and further north is Wúdōng City! Don't tell me you don't understand what these two cities represent!"

"So what? What should I do? I am your daughter! I was beaten!"

The Naga Priest saw her so stubborn and unyielding.

Her beautiful eyes closed in despair, and her green-fingered hands couldn't help but pinch her brow.

"If you were half as sensible as your sister, perhaps I could live a few more years."

Upon hearing the word "sister," Betty's mouth hung half-open, yet she couldn't spit out a single word.

She lowered her head unwillingly, saying nothing.

When she made mistakes, Mother scolded her at most twice; but the sister was different—she really hit, and hit very hard.

She had always feared her sister even more than her mother.

Only then did the Naga Priest look again at the adjutant behind her.

She ordered her to recount the whole story exactly as it happened.

Her expression remained Biao Qing Ning Zhong throughout, only relaxing when she finally mentioned the other party saying, "Don't let me see you again."

"So they must be traveling mages from outside. 【Jawbone Area Attack】? The spell isn't very high-level."

"Hmph."

Betty was quite unconvinced and stubbornly said, "Exactly! Really not powerful. Only that woman was difficult to deal with. I actually wanted to find a husband for my sister; it was absolutely not for myself. That man is truly a rare handsome guy."

The adjutant beside her also confirmed, "Indeed, that man has a strong body and handsome appearance; one can tell at a glance that his vital energy is abundant."

Since their rank was not high, the Priestess noblewoman couldn't help but start thinking.

The Naga's innate greed began to gradually take the upper hand.

Her eldest daughter was uninterested in men, wholly devoted to the clan's affairs; even when she herself had been betrayed and imprisoned, it was the eldest daughter who brought reinforcements from outside to save her from danger.

Land Naga society is matriarchal; they are somewhat prone to lust, loving to frequently change and eat their lovers.

So, as a mother, the eldest daughter's self-discipline made her feel even more indebted.

If she could catch a good man as a gift for her to taste, it would at least be some compensation.

Thinking thus.

The Naga Priest swam before the adjutant and placed one hand over her head.

She quickly spat out several syllables.

The spell was completed swiftly.

The gemstone at the top of her right-hand scepter emitted a blue fluorescent light, and a water mirror composed of magic unfolded before everyone.

The scene of Rod holding Daphne, sitting by the carriage and chatting with the merchant Alfonso, slowly appeared.

"It's those two!"

Upon seeing Rod's appearance, the Naga Priest's beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.

She felt an inexplicable charm constantly radiating from him.

She did not know this was Rod's amplification 【Bai Niu's Charm】 at work; she only felt her heartbeat quicken a bit, and even her lower abdomen grew warm.

Hmm. Indeed, a rare good specimen.

Jing Mo is barren and desolate; it cannot grow such wonderfully extraordinary roses.

In an instant, she was slightly distracted.

Then her gaze became firm.

Excellent. This is the gift for my eldest daughter! No one can take it away!

She said coldly:

"Betty! Select a few experts and come with me to fetch your sister's husband!"

Upon hearing this, Betty immediately became excited: "I accept the order!"

Night.

Gubao in Axe Beach had very strict curfews due to the recent change of regime.

The caravan moved a bit slower, thus missing the time, and could only camp outside the city.

Taking advantage of their busyness.

Rod, far from the caravan's campsite, led the succubus into the distant dark forest.

Not long after.

Amorous sounds soon followed.

After a long flow and debauchery.

Everything returned to calm once more.

Rod lifted Tally, her calves resting on his shoulders, pressing her against the tree trunk as he began the final nutrient absorption.

Succubi are very flexible; even with her knees pressed over his shoulders, she could still hold the back of Rod's head, panting heavily while nibbling at his lips.

"Master... do it again..."

"No, fixed time and fixed amount."

"Coco Tally still wants it; her tummy is hungry."

"No, you aren't hungry, and you lost. I only lost twice, while you've already lost five times."

"Nonsense~ Tally feels nothing for Master's bad thing~~"

"Is that so?"

Rod shifted slightly and teased her gently; Tally shuddered all over, curling into a ball.

"Your body is far more honest than you are. Wait until you can make me lose first, then we'll consider an extra meal."

"Ah-ho... ho-ho, Master is so mean."

Although the feeding activity had stopped.

Tally still lingered in his arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, eyes closed, kissing him with lingering affection, continuously.

According to her own words, this close, warm embrace after the act was her favorite thing besides feeding.

The clashing of their kisses was loud and very alluring.

As Rod tasted her flavor, he recalled the recent situation at Axe Beach that the merchant Alfonso had mentioned during the day.

As previously stated.

Axe Beach had undergone a change of regime.

The slain lord was Count Miss Puwei.

And his daughter, Miss Wen Na Miss Puwei—the gentle woman with pale blue hair that Rod had seen in newspaper reports earlier—was identified as the conspirator who colluded with lizardman bandits and led the rebellion; she is currently wanted.

As for the Miss Puwei family, which had long ruled Axe Beach, due to the continuous mysterious deaths of relatives, wives, and children in recent years, not a single heir belonging to that family remained by this time.

Thus.

Elected by the councilors of the local lord's mansion, the new ruler, Bogo Torres, took power.

Given that the Aethelorn Kingdom was gradually weakening, its control over domestic cities had greatly diminished, and each region was building up its own military strength.

This new-old transition of lordly power ignored all procedures and was completed smoothly at an extremely rapid pace.
