Miss Witch's Devotion Has Gone… Twisted-Chapter 227: The Uninvited Guest

"Actually, Uridia is quite progressive. While other places are still feudal societies, capitalists have appeared here."

After leaving the orphanage, Loren began chatting casually with the group, though they didn't understand what a capitalist was either, only knowing they were bad people.

"We can't change anything for now either. Giving the orphanage some money is already going above and beyond.

"Now, let's go do our own thing. Actually, I still wanted to ask where to find a vampire, but the Headmaster probably wouldn't know."

"Where are we going next? How about we go eat our way through all the dessert shops in the city?"

Anna made the suggestion, a very reasonable one. They didn't have any method to find Lilith either, so they could only conduct a blanket search, like eating through all the dessert shops.

It's just that while speaking, Anna kept swallowing her saliva. She was craving it too.

"Alright, we'll do as Anna says."

"Hooray!"

After witnessing so much, Anna was also becoming more and more at peace. She knew her emotions couldn't change any of this, so it was better to live happily and then follow Loren to kill all the gods, changing everything from the root.

Anna was very smart, understanding much more than the other witches, but there were still many things she didn't comprehend.

The current Anna naively believed that as long as the Orthodox Gods and the Church that exploited people were destroyed, people's lives would improve. She still overestimated the inherent flaws of humanity.

One could even say that without the Orthodox Gods watching from above to supervise, these Nobles and Royals would only act more crazily.

Even with unlimited resources, if people's mindsets don't change, a utopia won't become reality.

In the Uridia Kingdom with unlimited electricity, the orphanage in the corner couldn't afford to turn on the lights.

Both sides of the street were lined with dazzling lights of various colors, illuminating the night as bright as day. Many places with red lights openly appeared right beside the street. Staff standing at the door solicited customers, their eyes devoid of any trace of vitality.

"Let's start with this shop!"

Anna pointed to a dessert shop by the roadside, behind whose glass sat an exquisite large cake.

"Alright."

Before entering, the crystal on Loren's black robe emitted a faint light, and in the next moment, Loren's facial features became blurred.

He couldn't show his face freely. He was very famous in Uridia, even more so than in Gedlan.

This was the place of origin for the printing press. Even many poor people could glance at illustrated newspapers, and Loren's face often appeared in the papers.

People in Gedlan only heard his name but didn't know what he looked like. The people here were different, so it was better for Loren to keep a low profile.

The witches didn't have as many reservations. Due to the nature of witches, they actually didn't have much presence. No matter how beautiful they were, others simply couldn't develop any thoughts towards them, not even the thought of taking a few extra looks.

"Master Mentor, I want to eat this."

Anna pointed at the large cake inside the dessert shop. A cake this big was enough for many people, but Loren knew this was probably just Anna's appetizer.

"Alright."

"You're the best!"

As soon as Loren pulled out his wallet, Anna directly jumped onto Loren, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Alright, you're a grown woman now, have some restraint."

That's what he said, but when Anna jumped on him, Loren instinctively reached out to support Anna's bottom.

After setting Anna down, Loren took out a few silver coins to pay. The money he gave was clearly more than the price of the cake.

"Keep the change. I'd like to ask you something."

"Please go ahead."

The shop assistant collected the silver coins, a brilliant smile appearing on her face.

"Have any vampires come to your place?"

Vampires could also eat normal food, but they needed to drink blood to survive, so they would also eat some regular food.

Loren didn't directly mention half-vampires. There weren't many half-vampires, and directly mentioning them would make his intentions more obvious.

"Vampires?"

The shop assistant thought for a moment, but then seemed to remember something. The look in her eyes when she looked at Loren became tinged with fear.

Loren also guessed her thoughts. Recently, a group of crazy people hunting vampires had been causing quite a stir. Such things couldn't be hidden at all, so the shop assistant also knew about these matters and mistook Loren for one of those vampire hunters.

Therefore, she was afraid Loren might suddenly attack her, and also afraid of vampire retaliation if she revealed information.

"Do you know?"

Loren pretended to unintentionally reveal the knife and gun at his waist. Sure enough, the shop assistant became much more forthcoming:

"My place is just a small shop, we don't have anything too good. Vampires are always arrogant and aren't very willing to come to a place like mine. Only one vampire comes occasionally..."

"Tell me in detail."

Seeing the shop assistant had settled down, Loren re-concealed the gun at his waist.

"She last came a week ago. Basically, she comes once a month, and... she has some intellectual issues... has a bit of trouble understanding others, can't concentrate..."

Loren nodded. It all matched up. The person the shop assistant described was Lilith, the one Loren was looking for.

"Do you know where she lives?"

"I really don't know that. My interaction with her is only that much. If she weren't a vampire, I wouldn't even remember her..."

"......"

He didn't get the information Loren wanted, but at least it narrowed the scope for Loren. Lilith definitely lived in this vicinity.

When he turned around, he found the cake had already been eaten clean by Anna.

"Let's go, we'll go to the next place to search for information!"

Anna spoke with grand justification, it's just that she hadn't even wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth. In the end, it was Loren who took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

......

Loren took out a pre-prepared map, drew a circle at the location of the dessert shop, and prepared to head to the next one.

Along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery along the street. The night view of the Uridia Kingdom was beautiful, it's just that the homeless people by the roadside were a bit jarring.

Most people here were ordinary folks too. It was because Cecelia's songs voiced the sentiments of these ordinary people that she was elevated to such heights. Beneath Uridia's prosperity lay piles of bones.

Loren often helped Cecelia write songs. At that time, Loren was also at the bottom of society, so he wrote many songs with a satirical edge. This also established Cecelia's style; even when she later wrote songs herself, she maintained this style.

One couldn't tell the time by the sky here, but Loren still had a watch.

By the time they had visited all the dessert shops, it was already late at night. Loren had also drawn a large circle on the map; he had determined the area where Lilith was located.

Today, Anna ate to her heart's content, even letting out satisfied burps on the way back to the inn. The atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant.

Until Loren saw the stranger waiting at the door of their room. She was dressed as an Attendant, standing ramrod straight with a meticulous demeanor.

Under the inn's lights, Loren saw her scarlet red eyes and sharp fangs. All of this indicated she was a vampire.
