Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Clearing the Name of the Elf Race Maiden

"Even an Elf Maiden can be influenced by her instincts."

Shami tried to stand in the shoes of parents discovering their child secretly reading 18+ books, to save the face of the flat-panel blonde, making her feel better.

"It’s nothing like what you’re thinking!"

The blonde elf’s little face turned red, looking as if the truth had been hit on the head.

"Alright, I understand. If it’s not, then it’s not. Just to remind you, I didn’t see anything just now."

"But you seem so certain already!!"

The blonde elf squatted down, painfully holding her head with her hands.

Seeing that there was no way to cover up what had just happened, the flat-panel blonde had to explain in another way.

She stood up and shook Shami vigorously.

"I’m not like this normally! Today I was completely influenced by some evil force, which is why I behaved so strangely!"

This was already indirectly admitting that the maiden was secretly practicing water magic, Lureya.

"Human Water of Life! Yes! It must be because I played with slimes too much and accidentally ingested too much, that caused the strange situation just now!"

"Ordinary slimes don’t have such evaporating effects, do they?"

"If it’s not this, then there’s another reason! Anyway, there is another reason! I will definitely find out the reason and clear the name of the Elf Race and the other elf maidens! Shami, wait for me to uncover the truth!"

The blonde maiden got invigorated, her eyes red at the corners, and fled from in front of Shami with all her strength.

"Hey, remember to come to the Maple Forest Clearing tomorrow. You can’t use this as an excuse for a sick leave."

The maiden had disappeared without a trace.

Late night, the inn, the bedroom.

"There must be something I overlooked amidst all this."

The blonde elf, with her head on the desk, seriously delved into various intelligence materials borrowed from the library, while recalling the water magic time a few days ago.

That was definitely not her actively initiated water magic research, it felt completely different from before, completely unable to be stopped by her willpower!

Afterward, the maiden, who often hid under the covers of the school dormitory bed at night to study niche books, gradually realized this was very likely due to some external influence.

"We can’t let the pure image of the Elf Race’s maidens be ruined, Lureya!"

Regaining her senses, the elf maiden began extensively searching through literature, trying to find the root cause.

The maiden had been stuck in the room for two days and nights, though most of it was because she didn’t know how to face Shami, even if she pretended nothing happened and greeted him, he didn’t look at her with simple eyes anymore.

The atmosphere was completely like the kind where you’re caught doing unspeakable things under the covers by your parents at night, and at breakfast the next day the whole family knows but no one dares to mention it, and instead forcefully talks about other topics to make everything seem normal.

After flipping through for two whole days, the blonde maiden finally found a relatively reliable piece of information amidst a massive pile of unfounded speculations from a book "Demon King Intelligence Collection."

"Demon King possesses a special contract ability. Demon Envoys with unusually strong powers in the demon tribe typically link with the Demon King through this form of contract."

"Unlike human’s demon contracts or the Elf Race’s spirit contracts, the Demon King’s contract ability is even more powerful, able to directly control the Demon Envoy, making it unconditionally obedient to him. At the same time, able to transmit the demon race attributes on himself to the Demon Envoy, rapidly enhancing the Demon Envoy’s capabilities."

"Yes! That’s it!"

Seeing this piece of intelligence roughly matches her current situation, Lureya got excited and quickly read on.

"Demon King possesses the most original power of the demon race, with inherent evil attributes, and as strength increases, under the influence of the magic power source, the lust produced by itself will surge rapidly."

"Without effective control measures, a Demon King can die from accumulating too much desire. But the Demon King can convert the desire produced on his body into magic power, gaining more mighty strength. Under the Demon Envoy Contract, the Demon King can share the magic power with the Demon Envoy, making the Demon Envoy become more powerful."

"Under the Demon Envoy Contract, the desires of the Demon Envoy will also increase. Because through the Demon Envoy Contract, the Demon Envoy can receive the Demon King’s magic power, and magic power originally containing the Demon King’s desires will cause the Demon Envoy to generate evil thoughts."

"In addition, as the Demon Envoy continues to perform the affairs of the demon race, the negative emotions generated by acts like destruction, killing... all sorts of vile behaviors accumulate in the magic array. Allowing the Demon Envoy’s heart to not be influenced by the strong negative emotions temporarily. But when accumulated to a certain extent, once combined, these negative emotions will surge into desires, becoming uncontrollable."

"However, being the Demon King, I come here often. Sacrificing a little self is a small thing, but I bear the great task of the prosperity of the entire demon race! Miss Succubi!’"

"Intelligence Source: Succubus Tea House Madame; 71st Demon King Luwaka’s personal account; two years ago."

"Reliability: In view of the character displayed by the 71st Demon King at the Succubus Tea House, and the previously detected ’weapon length in Demon King’s mouth does not match reality’; ’The Demon King established schools in the Demon King Castle for monsters to learn knowledge but never had a single monster graduate’ and other false intelligence, these contents are likely bragging to tempt the succubi to bed, of low reliability and no practical value, intelligence for reference only."

"Finally found you, saving the truth of the Elf Race, wuwuwu!"

The blonde elf held up the book, showing an expression of excitement from finding the truth.

...

"Pictorial Book Task 2: Cultivate a level 30 slime and breed 100 ordinary slimes."

"Completed."

"Rewards sent: lv.1 one-time teleportation gate crafting technique"

A few days had passed since the village invasion, and Shami completed the pictorial book task 2.

He looked at the blue slimes filling the Maple Forest Clearing, feeling like a heap of blue spheres bouncing around.

Under Jelly’s reproduction, there were now 108 slimes in total.

Jelly was level 37. The slime veterans who participated in the Battle of Cash and survived the first village invasion also leveled up to over 20, with slight level differences due to varying circumstances.

But it was certain that in the coming week, slimes would successively reach level 30.

The rest were slimes below level 5, circling around the center of the clearing where the slime jelly was.

"The next step is to deploy them to various places outside the village, forming small clusters of slime forces, letting them gather resources, which I will then collect in unison."

Shami plotted the upcoming plan, a golden figure dashed through the slime crowd and ran over.

"Shami!"

The flat-panel elf breathlessly arrived in front of Shami.

"Haven’t seen you in two days, such a long absence, there’s going to be a deduction of pay you know..." Shami said with a smile.

"You haven’t even paid me! That doesn’t matter now, I already said it wasn’t my fault, it’s entirely because of you that I got influenced!"

The blonde maiden took out evidence from the storage space, with an air of triumph, and explained to Shami.

Shami seemed to be lost in thought.

"So that’s how it is."

No wonder I felt the magic was much clearer that day, because a lot of magic had been transmitted to the flat-panel blonde at that time.

Speaking of which, water magic seemed justifiable too.

He quietly slipped the intelligence collection book from the elf’s hand into his own storage space.

"Yes, yes! How could an elf maiden do such things for no reason, it’s because you randomly sent stuff to people’s bellies making them become a Demon Envoy!"

Lureya pointed at Shami, looking angry, her eyes glaring over.

"Sorry, Lureya."

"A simple sorry is not enough!" Lureya raised both hands, protesting: "Apologize to all the elf maidens!"

"But haven’t you realized the real culprit behind this matter?"

Shami suddenly got serious.

"Eh?"

Lureya quieted down, blinking her eyes in confusion, and held her hands in front of her, puzzled.

"Think about what caused us to become like this?"

The blonde elf was puzzled and frozen in place, seeing Shami looking at her seriously, she was engulfed in a vortex of thought.

"You mean..."

"Because signing the Demon Envoy contract with me increased your magic power. Then I also excellently completed the task of destroying the village, increasing the negative emotions? If that’s the case, there’s nothing I could do about it!"

The blonde maiden gently placed a hand on her chest, her cheeks blushing slightly.

"..."

Shami was thinking of establishing a common enemy, pushing this event to some vague, hard to debate matter.

But the flat-panel blonde seemed to have already completed the logical self-consistency.

"Apologize, I apologize to the elf maidens."
