Double Kindness

Knowing that the True Dragon King really didn't care about her life, the Lamia Lady thought hard to persuade the Little Dragon not to eliminate her.

"W-wait, True Dragon King. P-please don't kill us… I as the next Lord Lamia, will… Ah!!" The roots that wrapped around her stomach tied her even tighter and felt like it would crush her stomach.

Evan opened his hand to signal Piwood.

As the knots of the roots loosened, the Lamia Lady knew that the True Dragon King was interested in her offer.

"...I-I swear on behalf of my race to serve you. True Dragon King!"

The little dragon did not immediately answer and seemed to be conversing with Piwood for a while.

"Hmm, can her oath be trusted??" Evan whispered to Piwood.

"She has taken the highest oath. It means she has risked her race's pride and is ready to die." Piwood replied in a low voice.

Evan was a little interested in the high self-esteem of the monsters because he just found out that monsters have a better personality than humans. What Evan knew about human nature was that they always broke their word, even though they had taken an oath.

'What did I say?! stupid me!! No... This is the chance...I had to be sure… if I managed to persuade him I would be able to save the remaining Lamia Race. But, if not... Ah!! Maybe he'll ask us to kill ourselves...'

The Lamia Lady wanted to bite her tongue, which had been talking without thinking. Saying oath and devotion to her Race Slaughterer. It was a disgrace to the Lamias who had died.

"Ehem... I appreciate your courage, Lamia Lady. But, as for the snakes over there do you really want to serve me or is it just the selfish wish of your Lord Candidate?" Evan looked at the 4 snakes hanging in the air.

The Lamia Lady smiled thinking that her request had been granted. She immediately gave the gesture to her partner to confirm True Dragon King's question.

With cold sweat running down their foreheads, the snakes nodded in fear.

But the pleasure on the part of the Lamia Lady lasted only a moment until Evan raised his objections.

"After your race came and rioted in Darkness Castle and almost killed Lucia, wouldn't I have only one answer..."

She had guessed that just asking for mercy would be impossible because her brother had challenged the True Dragon King war. However, she did not waste the opportunity to speak with the True Dragon King to save her race from extinction.

"W-we're good at hunting!! If you save us...sure...our abilities will be very much needed for you to find food... I can guarantee that the Lamia Race will satisfy you."

The Lamia Lady closed her eyes, hoping that the True Dragon King would consider her request again.

Evan is a little interested in Lamia's ability to find prey. Indeed he knows that snakes are one of the animals that have a sharp sense of smell.

If the Lamia Lady's abilities matched his knowledge of snakes, this would be Evan's advantage. Because he could use her to find 100 Mob Class creatures to complete his quest.

"Alright, because if I just give you death. It's too easy for you and not worth the loss your former Lord has done."

Lamia Lady was moved and shed tears because the negotiations were successful.

As the roots wrapped around her stomach were released, and drop her. Lamia Lady immediately bowed and thanked "...T-thank you, My King."

However, when she saw that only herself was released, the Lamia Lady realized something.

"Do you think I will believe you, without any real proof? Of course I want to see your devotion to me. I want to test you!" With an evil smile, Evan looked at Liselis with an intimidating look.

"...T-test me?" The Lamia Lady stuttered and shivered as the True Dragon King decided to test her.

"Yes, this will be my final consideration of exterminating the Lamia Race or not. I want you to find 100 Mob Class creatures."

"O-one hundred Mob Class creatures???"

"If you don't want it that's fine, there's no other choice but... Piwood!" Evan slightly threatened the Lamia Lady, who looked hesitant, and he secretly used the Appraiser Skill to see her status.

[Level: 23/200

Name: Liselis

Race: Lamia

Class: Lesser-class Demon

Titles: -

Gender: Female

Ages: 18]

'Hmm, so her name is Liselis. Eh... considering she is Lord Lamia's sister but why is her level so far from Baselix? Or maybe she is inexperienced in hunting, so she hesitates in responding to my request?'

"A-alright, I'll accept it. But, if I manage to find it, please keep your word to forgive the Lamia Race." Liselis finally accepted Evan's terms, even though her expression looked terrified.

"Liselis, you are too arrogant to ask before completing my request."

Because Evan had read her status, he accidentally called the Lamia Lady her name.

There was silence between Liselis and the four Lamia Warriors.

"Is that someone's name? Who is she?" The four Lamia Warriors were confused and asked each other the name of the person Evan had just mentioned.

"H-how did you know the name…Mmn…" Liselis immediately covered her own mouth to prevent the secret of her name from being revealed to the Lamia Warriors.

"Why? Isn't that right your..." Evan didn't understand Lieslis' strange behavior after he mentioned her name. But when he wanted to find out, his words were immediately cut off by her.

"No! Please don't continue, True Dragon King. I'll go find your request... So please don't say that name again." Lamia Lady pleaded and immediately turned around to go look for Mobs Class Creatures.

"Hey, where are you going?" Evan shouted to restrain the 5-meter long snake girl.

"G-go hunting..." Liselis got goosebumps as Evan shouted at her and stopped her movement.

"Huff, I'm asking you to find them instead of hunting them down."

"...Eh...Sorry??" Liselis was at the limit of her understanding to understand Evan's words.

"I'm going with you!"

"EHHH!!"
