At this moment, seeing Hill, her intuition told her that her guess was confirmed: this Dark Elf was staging a bitter flesh ploy.
Victoria quickly replayed the events in her mind; it wasn't time to show her hand to Karl yet.
Otherwise, her guess might be misinterpreted as sowing discord.
She needed more evidence, more conclusive facts.
Victoria finished her rapid thoughts, nodded lightly to the group, and then voluntarily stepped back: "Lord City Lord, I will go complete the interrogation now. Once I have results, I will inform you immediately."
With that, she turned and left, returning to the interrogation room.
Karl watched Victoria's retreating back with some confusion but didn't pay much attention.
He then looked at Hill, noticing her unusually pale face: "If you're not feeling well, go rest."
Hill waved her hand, signaling the middle-aged Dark Elf standing by to leave.
Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
"I'm worried about being assassinated. At this stage, the safest place is by your side."
Karl was startled by her words, then realized she had a very valid point.
After all, Hill was injured because of him, and he couldn't be so heartless as to drive her away at a time like this.
"Alright, can you walk by yourself?" Karl's gaze fell on her. She was still wearing black stockings and high heels, which she hadn't taken off even in her injured state.
Did she like them that much?
"No problem." Hill nodded, swaying as she tried to stand straight.
"Let's go." Karl hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took her hand. The Dark Elf frowned, looking very unaccustomed to it. She struggled twice, and seeing that she couldn't break free, she let him.
In the interrogation room.
Victoria's gaze locked onto Rain Scorpion, her voice very soft: "It seems your companion has the ability to enter anywhere."
A flicker of surprise crossed Rain Scorpion's eyes, but she quickly hid it.
She curled her lips, deliberately provoking: "That's right, people of the Church. This is our grievance with that City Lord. Can you represent the Church and bear the wrath of Lord Duke?"
Victoria stood up and elegantly walked to Rain Scorpion's side, suddenly grasping a holy sword condensed from light in her hand.
In the next second, Rain Scorpion's four limbs were severed, and her body fell directly to the ground.
Her eyes were disbelieving; she couldn't accept how Victoria, this bishop, had suddenly attacked.
Victoria's face showed no emotion: "My abilities are limited, so I only help those I can help. As for those I cannot help, I will send them to the God I believe in. The great God will redeem you."
The next second, the longsword pierced her body.
"Ah?!" Rain Scorpion's limbs were cut off, and she was pierced by the longsword, howling in agony. But the places where the longsword pierced seemed to be covered with some kind of healing magic, constantly harming and healing her body.
Victoria raised her hand, and another identical longsword appeared in her hand.
In just a moment.
Rain Scorpion's body was pierced by more than a dozen longswords, and her mind had already collapsed: "Kill... kill me."
"Alright, answer my questions, and I will send you to God." Victoria's voice was devout: "You will receive ultimate salvation."
On the other side.
Karl helped Hill into the bathhouse, not because he wanted to test the weak Dark Elf, but because her clothes still had a lot of dried blood.
He had to help her clean up.
"No need to take off the stockings." Hill's tone was calm: "I like to shower with stockings on."
"Ah?" Karl frowned.
Chapter 119 She's Very Good
Would a normal person shower with stockings on? Karl found it quite puzzling.
Hill had already removed her blood-stained clothes. Her dark brown skin was smooth, and her entire body was only covered by transparent pantyhose wrapped around her long, straight legs.
"Mm-hmm." Hill hummed softly. It seemed the poison hadn't completely faded, as she held her forehead, her brows tightly furrowed.
Seeing this, Karl sighed softly: "Ai, don't force yourself."
He extended a hand and steadily supported Hill: "I'll help you."
Hill frowned slightly, as if she didn't want to show a weak side. After hesitating, she still reached out her hand, and with Karl's support, the two walked into the bathhouse.
The bathhouse was extremely luxurious, with Karl's bust painted on the walls with gemstones. Under the steaming mist of the hot spring, it looked dreamlike and ethereal.
Of course, there were no such luxurious bathhouses in this world.
Karl had Half-Elf artisans build it for him. After all, with a bath and everything, he was a City Lord now, couldn't he enjoy himself?
He helped Hill to the edge of the hot spring, letting her lie on the waterbed. He scooped up a handful of warm spring water from the hot spring and gently poured it over Hill's back.
Water droplets slid down Hill's dark skin, flowing downwards, gathering at her waist, wetting her transparent pantyhose, and then flowing down both sides.
Karl scooped up more spring water, this time over her high, firm buttocks. The spring water instantly soaked the transparent black silk.
The Dark Elf's slender figure, with her naturally brown skin, looked as if it had been coated with a shimmering luster.
Karl felt a bit aroused. The long, straight legs encased in transparent black silk, and she was wearing nothing underneath—he couldn't resist.
"Thank you." Hill suddenly spoke.
"Ah?" Karl's hand was already on her thigh, sliding upwards along the black silk, which was even smoother after being wet. His fingers traced along the seam, preparing to enter directly through the black silk.
This sudden "thank you" made him stop his fingers.
It was perplexing.
After thanking him, Hill fell into a brief silence. After a while, she spoke again: "When we were young, we underwent training and often got injured. When injured, we needed trusted friends to help us bathe."
"Oh~" Karl was surprised. It was the first time he had seen Hill, this Dark Elf, show such a nostalgic expression: "Was your training very cruel?"
As he spoke, his hand continued to caress her slender waist. The Dark Elf's skin was smooth, especially the curves of a woman, which felt extremely good.
Hill rested her face on her arm, her whole body relaxed, seemingly enjoying his touch: "It wasn't cruel, but it was indeed very hard. But compared to some other races, at least we didn't lose our lives in training."
"Dark Elves are a race that values blood relatives very much. Children would also play those childish games together, like throwing stones, seeing who could throw them the furthest, and so on."
As Hill spoke, she voluntarily moved her legs slightly, leaving some space.
Seeing this, Karl understood that she was ready. He pulled her stockings up to her thighs and lay behind her. She was a patient, after all, so he entered very slowly.
"Mm-hmm.." Hill closed her eyes, raising her waist slightly to make his position more comfortable: "My hometown was very quiet, so quiet that you could even hear the sound of the clouds moving."
"The sky was also blue. Looking back now, it was truly beautiful."
"Mm." Karl held her slender waist, slowly pushing and pulling. It was sticky, tight, and with the peristalsis of muscles, very comfortable.
"I also planted a tree at the village entrance." As Hill spoke, her muscles slowly tightened, as if clutching little ka inside her body. At the same time, her muscles slightly loosened and tightened, applying pressure to little ka at a frequency of three loose and one tight.
A momentary melancholy appeared on her face, as if she was pulled from a beautiful memory back to reality: "It's probably gone now, isn't it?"
"Then let's go check it out." Karl felt waves of pleasure. When his brother was being handled, his mind uncontrollably produced a sense of déjà vu that this woman was amazing.
"We'll go together."
"Ah?" Hill opened her eyes, raised her hand, her expression surprised.
"I'll go with you to see, after things here are settled." Karl felt an unprecedented contraction and squeezing, and instantly ejaculated.
After all, Hill had risked her life to save him, and he always felt a sense of guilt towards her.
"Then it's a deal." Hill's lips curled upwards, forming a smile.
She turned slightly, her body unconsciously leaning against Karl. Her chest skin pressed against his, and they could feel each other's skin temperature and heartbeat.
Even for a dangerous Dark Elf like Hill, when he held her sensual body in his arms.
The instinct etched in his genes would still give Karl a suggestion that he needed to protect this woman.
The two quickly finished washing and returned to the room.
After Hill changed her clothes, that serious Mature beautiful older sister type aura returned to her. She sat on the sofa: "You sleep, I'll keep watch."
"No need." Karl shook his head: "You're injured and need more rest. Let your kin take turns keeping watch."
"Alright." Hill nodded, showing great trust in Karl.
She lay down on the bed, her body slightly curled, looking very tired.
Karl also lay down beside her, instinctively reaching out and gently holding her in his arms.
Although Hill was half a head taller than Karl, when Karl embraced her slender waist, he suddenly found her body exceptionally soft.
"Ai..." Karl sighed softly. He couldn't help but notice that Hill was deliberately getting close to him.
But a man simply cannot refuse a beautiful woman who took a blade for him.
The night was as dark as ink. Karl held Hill, and their breathing gradually synchronized. It was his first time truly spending the night with a woman.
In his sleep, a faint, continuous "rustling" sound suddenly echoed.
Karl's eyelids snapped open, his pupils rapidly adjusting in the dimness, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.
At the same time, Hill, in his arms, also opened her eyes almost simultaneously, her gaze questioning.
"It's nothing," Karl whispered, shaking his head, his eyes sharp as he once again carefully examined the surrounding walls, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound:
"It's probably mice. Don't worry, go back to sleep."
Hill nodded, closing her eyes once more in his arms.
Karl lay back down, not sleeping, his ears catching every subtle sound around him.
Time passed minute by minute, the night gradually faded, and the sky turned a bluish-gray.
The "rustling" sound never resumed.
Until the first ray of morning light broke through.
"Strange." Karl sat in the spacious office of the City Lord's manor, his brows furrowed. Dragons possessed hearing far more acute than humans.
The faint, continuous sounds from last night were definitely not made by ordinary mice.
Could it be some kind of beast unique to this world?
The office door opened, and Victoria, in a pristine white bishop's robe, slowly entered: "Apologies, Lord City Lord, I have sent Rain Scorpion to meet God. I hope she finds salvation in God's embrace."
Chapter 120 Too Intense
Karl snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head. He had no interest in Rain Scorpion's life or death. He looked at Victoria for a moment longer: "Did you get any valuable information?"
"The Black Scorpion Mercenary Group became the private army of the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory three years ago." Victoria began to explain: "Their original plan was for Bear and Scorpion to cause chaos, and then Rain Scorpion would assassinate with poison."
"Clearly, they overestimated their own strength." Karl shrugged. The two fellows had barely started their operation before he crushed them into meat paste.
"If I'm not mistaken, their group also included Lilia, the so-called daughter of the Grand Duke, right?"
"Correct." Victoria nodded: "From the intelligence we've gathered, that daughter of the Grand Duke, Lilia, is not skilled in combat. But this time, your actions have thoroughly enraged Grand Duke Sophie of the Northern Territory. And Lilia, as one of the heirs, will not return easily."
"She's still going to try to kill me?" Karl found it amusing.
He had sent Dark Elves to search for Lilia last night, and the result was that she had disappeared without a trace.
"Yes." Victoria nodded: "Her ability to become Sophie's most favored Child indicates that she is very dangerous. I hope to stay by your side until the crisis is resolved."
"Ah?" A look of astonishment flashed across Karl's face as he looked up at Victoria.
His frequency of "ah?" in these three days was more than in the previous three years combined.
Karl looked up, meeting Victoria's eyes, which were full of concern.
He just felt very confused. What was all this? Were they two very familiar?
If anything, they had a grudge. He hadn't gone after her, so why was she offering herself up?
Seeing this, Victoria sighed softly, took a step forward, and grasped one of Karl's hands, her tone firm: "Karl, I know you might find all this very sudden, but our current situation is extremely dangerous. Lilia will not give up, and Grand Duke Sophie's wrath is not so easily appeased. I need to stay by your side to ensure your safety."
She was also very helpless. Young Dragons of Karl's age were easily swayed.
Yesterday, after Hill was injured, he immediately became emotional and tortured Rain Scorpion.
He was simply a Child who had gained immense power.
