Chapter 12 Attack of the Girl

[Daily operation consumes 5000 life points] (Currently under special conditions, no life points are consumed)
After creating one hundred basic artifact souls, Caesar's life points suddenly dwindled, and he didn't have many days left to live.
There's not much he needs to teach about the Soul of the Relic this time, so theoretically he could open the dungeon right now.
Only half a day had passed in the outside world at that time.
"Opening a dungeon now won't help; it takes time for the news to spread."
"Consider it a holiday for Luna."
Caesar suddenly remembered that his number one worker was about to die of exhaustion, so he snapped his fingers and made time flow in the dungeon.
Meanwhile, on the surface.
News of the North Dungeon's latest update spread like wildfire across the land.
Commoners spread the word by word, adventurers sent letters by carrier pigeon, and nobles used teleportation arrays to send letters—each had their own method.
Because Orlando was busy with matters concerning the North Underground City, Oliya stayed in North City for the time being.
She got up early for the first time in a long time, her long golden hair cascading over her fair and delicate skin.
Her delicate and adorable face seemed to glow in the early morning sun.
The girl's eyes were hazy, and her ruby-like pupils stared blankly at the plains of her chest for a long while.

"Hey, it's not a dream!"
Oliya grinned foolishly, and the sound reached the ears of the maid outside the door.
"Miss, you're awake. Would you like me to come in and help you get dressed?"
The process of dressing nobles was extremely complicated, and it was difficult for one person to dress properly without help.
Oria casually agreed, but as she watched the maid walk in, a startling idea suddenly popped into her head.
Can she see other people's stats?
Olya immediately told the maid to stand still and stared at her until the maid strained herself until she was cross-eyed, but Olya still didn't see any subtitles appear.
The maid, who was quite young and pretty, blushed bright red under Oliya's piercing gaze.
Homosexuality was not uncommon among the imperial nobility.
She had long heard that Miss Olya's sexual orientation was somewhat unusual; could it be that she had taken a liking to her?
Is she going to rise to prominence and become a phoenix starting today?
Thinking of this, the maid pretended to be shy and tried to seduce Oliya, but the girl remained unmoved.
She had no idea what the maid was doing, and disappointedly told the maid to come over and dress her normally.
Having met Lucia, who perfectly matched her own XP, Olya had lost all interest in other ordinary men.
When creating succubi, Caesar devoted far more effort to the two special succubi, Lucia and Luna, than to the others.
Although the succubi are all incredibly beautiful, they are still within the normal range. There are still creatures like Olivia who can rival their beauty.
The two of them, on the other hand, represent the pinnacle of beauty, truly masterpieces of divine craftsmanship.
While it might not be enough to make someone fall in love at first sight, it's certain that they'll never forget it.
With such a being using her beauty to seduce Olya, how could she resist, and how could she possibly be interested in anyone else?
Fifteen minutes later, Olya, having finished washing up, was full of energy.
She summoned the guards Orlando had assigned to her and asked:
"Do you know where in North City you can most easily get information about dungeons, succubi, and the like?"
"In places where there are mostly ordinary people and adventurers."
She has instructed the succubus she brought out yesterday to collect information about the North Dungeon through official channels in her name.
She herself would personally go to the "lower levels" to investigate, ensuring the information was as comprehensive as possible.
After a moment's thought, the guard replied, "Taverns, brothels, and the black market."
He added, "You are of such high status. If you wish to go to these places to gather information, your subordinates can do it. It would be beneath your dignity as the Earl's daughter to go there personally."
An ordinary nobleman might be speechless or helpless in the face of such a statement, but Olya was someone who could secretly run away from the count's territory. She skillfully threatened,
"If you don't take me, I'll find some time to go by myself. You can choose."
The girl's voice was as beautiful as a bird's song, yet it revealed her devilish nature, causing the guards to break out in a cold sweat.
"Miss, I need to consult with Master Oran."
"If you dare go, I'll run away right now." Olya put her hands on her hips.
"And even if I don't run away, I'll make things difficult for you."
The guard was defeated; he truly dared not, even if restricting Olya's freedom was the right thing to do, he still dared not.
"Miss, you absolutely mustn't go to a brothel. The brothels in North City are all about to go out of business, so there's no point in you going."
"certainly."
Oliya readily accepted the guard's conditions. She hadn't originally planned to go there anyway, since those who went there would eventually end up in the North Underground City.
It is estimated that the brothels in North City and the surrounding area will probably disappear in a while.
The guard breathed a sigh of relief. In this place, his level of 40 was enough to make him stand out from the crowd. Coupled with the [Guardian] class and the four complementary class skills, he was able to hold his own against several opponents of the same level for a long time.
Just as he said, the reason he didn't let Olya go there in person was simply because those places would tarnish the status of a nobleman.
North City, on the outskirts.
The North Underground City is located a few dozen miles from the city of North, and at the center of the line connecting it to the city, a towering watchtower stands in the forest, with the tallest trees only reaching halfway up to it.
These are signpost structures built by adventurers for dungeons; each dungeon has its own dedicated watchtower.
Two figures draped in black robes entered the watchtower, lifted the floorboards, and slipped inside.
There is a spacious tunnel inside.
"The location of the black market in each city is uncertain, but wherever there is an underground city, the black market will definitely be under the watchtower."
The guard explained in a low voice that this was an unspoken truth among adventurers.
The black market contains many things that cannot circulate in the open, yet they are bought and sold openly.
"Does my brother know too?"
"Know…"
Theoretically speaking, the black market is illegal.
In reality, even the nobles who made the laws sometimes appeared on the black market.
The situation here is very complex, and even the guards don't fully understand the situation.
After turning a corner, the tunnel abruptly ended, revealing a spacious underground market in front of the two.
With just one glance, Olya spotted the slave trading area in the black market.
Inside the iron cage, male and female slaves were locked together like livestock, each one barely clothed, with specially made iron rings around their necks to block their magic.
The contents of the iron cage were quite unusual; they contained two succubi.
Unlike the other slaves, who wore expressions of despair, they possessed an alluring quality in this environment.
Aren't they afraid?
Oliya clenched her fist and asked the guard beside her in a deep voice.
"Miss Olya, succubi are a very special species. They don't feel pain when they are hurt; for them, it is a kind of pleasure."
"The psychological trauma of imprisonment can excite them."
"Only death can instill fear in them."
The guard paused for a moment and then said, "However, no one would kill them without a reason."
Olivia thought of Caesar.
Did the boss endow succubi with these traits to make them more popular, or for some other reason?
Ultimately, she still hoped that the eldest brother had some conscience.
