Chapter 420: Counterfeit and Tracks

Tally finally reacted, forcibly cutting off the topic and coughing lightly a few times.

"By the way, Moni, we plan to stay at Axe Beach for a while. Hasn't the lord changed here? Is there anything we need to pay attention to?"

"Sigh, speaking of that, there are far too many things to watch out for!"

"Oh? How so?"

Moni glanced around the tavern, saw no guests, and simply sat down.

She then took out paper and pen, pretending to take their order, and said:

"The new lord, Bogo Torres, strongly opposes succubi. Recently, he has been trying every means to find and drive us away. It is not recommended to stay at Axe Beach for this period. Going north to Deepwater City, or east to Noisy Water City and Rock Town, are good choices."

"Us? There isn't just one succubus at Axe Beach?"

"Of course not. There are eight in total, three of whom are officially registered with the Axe Beach Militia, secretly kept here by some nobles from Deepwater City."

"So many? Won't the previous lord manage this?"

A town slightly larger than Shi Ying Town has eight succubi.

Succubi have territorial awareness; this ratio is somewhat exaggerated.

Moreover, this race ultimately possesses demon bloodlines, liking chaos, promiscuity, and enjoying it when others fight over them. Such existences are simply male fighting triggers.

"The previous Miss Puwei family wouldn't manage it. I heard this family itself has succubus bloodlines in them, but I only heard it, so it's not guaranteed."

"Tiefling?"

Rod asked in confusion.

"Succubi are a branch of demons, but their bloodline is very weak. Humans mixed with a small amount of succubus bloodline are even less likely to become Tieflings."

Moni explained, then smiled and gave him a seductive wink.

"Young man, your voice is so nice. Do you like three to a bed? I can support you and Sister Tally."

"No need. I heard the Miss Puwei family managed a White Dragon Tomb? The White Dragon Horn seal in the hands of their ruling family is proof."

"There is indeed this rumor, but what's so rare about a dragon tomb from several hundred years ago? Even if there was one, it would have been divided up long ago. Speaking of which, hehe, last night I hooked up with a steward from the lord's mansion. He told me something very interesting."

"How so?"

Rod asked.

Moni chuckled, moving her stool over.

The cute little face transformed by a transmutation spell leaned in, full of eager smiles.

"Kiss me first."

"Hm?"

Tally on the side coldly hummed, her threatening intent overflowing.

One can only say succubi are all like this: weak but love to play, provoking every day.

Seeing Tally's expression, under the effects of 【Grand Duke Bloodline】 and 【Deceive Gods and Ghosts】, Moni suddenly felt a great increase in pressure, and cold sweat poured from her forehead.

She pretended to be joking and said:

"Alright, just kidding. I'll tell you. Don't tell anyone else. That steward said the current White Dragon Horn seal is a forgery, and he personally found a factory to make it. The real one is in the hands of the Miss Puwei family's last eldest daughter, Miss Wen Na Miss Puwei. That is the key to opening the Miss Puwei family treasury, which is also the main reason our new lord is hunting her."

Ho.

So that's how it is.

If that is the case, did Bogo Torres invite the Land Naga to break open the White Dragon Tomb or that family treasury?

Or are the two simply one and the same?

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, Rod's next goal must shift to finding that wanted eldest daughter, Miss Wen Na Miss Puwei.

While pondering this.

Rod felt something and suddenly turned his head.

【Insight Demon Eye】 captured a drifting, disguised patch of pale blue hair through the glass window of the River Light Tavern, at the corner end of the bustling street.

He immediately recalled the image of Miss Wen Na Miss Puwei on the wanted newspaper—a gentle girl with pale blue hair.

"This isn't... speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives."

Rod ignored Tally and Moni and rushed out of the River Light Tavern first.

Seeing her master leave, Tally naturally had no interest in chatting with a fellow tribe slut.

She threw down a Jin Along and hurriedly followed after him.

Flat-chested succubus Moni stood in place.

She looked at the backs of Sister Tally and that spirit slave leaving with confusion, feeling that the status between them seemed different from her imagination.

"Do high-quality spirit slaves act so arrogantly? Why does Sister Tally keep watching his expression..."

She didn't care much.

She picked up the Jin Along thrown on the table and immediately smiled like a blooming flower.

Succubi also need to spend money. Business has been bad lately; after the new regime came online, many brothels were raided.

Her small shop was the same, leaving her unable to gather enough rent even now.

On the other side.

Rod and Tally blended into the crowd, crossing several corners.

They successfully saw the girl suspected to be Miss Wen Na Miss Puwei again beside a fruit stall on a certain street.

To the naked eye, she was a young farm girl about 1.6 meters tall with dark red hair.

Wearing a headscarf, her face dotted with freckles, her features soft and cute, her chest slightly bulging.

She was talking to the auntie running the stall while picking fruit, obviously appearing plain and ordinary.

Only by using 【Insight Demon Eye】 could Rod see through her true form, and even then it was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, like it had a mosaic filter on it.

It really was the Wenner Puweier from the wanted poster!

The real Wenner Puweier had a sorrowful and indignant look, was taller, more delicately featured, and had a fuller chest.

"No wonder she dares to show herself on the street like this — even the Domain's Demon Eye almost couldn't see through her disguise."

"Master likes her? But she's a human."

Tally scooted over, walked up to him and pressed herself affectionately into his embrace, then hooked his two arms and pressed them into her own.

It looked as though Rod had wrapped her up.

"That's Wenner Puweier."

"Oh! Should Tally catch her?"

"No rush. There are a lot of people on the street, and the towns in the Sword Bay region can't be underestimated. Besides, she probably has some trump cards on her — even I almost couldn't see through her disguise."

While he was speaking.

Wenner Puweier left the fruit stall, then went separately to a grain shop, a Daily Necessities shop, and a clothing shop.

It looked like the things someone who had just moved would need to buy.

Then, carrying all sorts of things, she wound around the streets several times, changed her appearance several times in hidden spots, and finally passed through the city's farming district and militia training grounds, arriving at a secluded villa on the edge of the wealthy district.

Rod used 【Spider Perception】 to tail her from a distance the whole way, never losing her, and followed her to the side of the secluded villa.

"Oh, there's even a guard."

Not far from the villa's entrance, a woman wearing brown leather armor leaned against the wall, arms crossed, eyes closed, resting.

She looked quite capable, and her rank was decent — around mid fifth-tier.

Even in the Sword Bay region, seventh-tier was still rare.

Rod was led by Tally into the shadows, easily bypassing that woman, and smoothly arrived inside the house.

The shadows entered along the window, stopping beside the lamp fixture on the floral wallpaper.

There, in the not-very-spacious living room, sat two women.

One was the Wenner Puweier from earlier; the other was a woman in gorgeous clothing, her fingers and neck laden with jewelry, with golden big-wavy curls — extraordinarily beautiful.

Tally exclaimed in the shadows: "Another succubus."

Rod's 【Insight Demon Eye】 swept over.

Sure enough.

That gorgeous woman's true form was a succubus with pale blue skin and a fiery figure.
