Chapter 281 Harprite

Shala forced a smile, she didn't expect Tsuraguki to be so violent. But that's fine, sometimes... When language was useless, violence was to be used.

Shala took out a scroll with a magic note on it. This was a simple spell that Shala could use.

"What's your name?"

"I am Harprite, queen of the Harpy clan." Harprite's voice was much softer now than before. When answering, Harprite would occasionally glance at Tsuraguki, as she feared that her answer would displease her.

Shala immediately took notes, then asked: "Were there 21 of you before you came here?"

Harprite nodded: "That's right. After the fog invaded the world, the air superiority of the Harpy race completely disappeared."

"At first, we had about 1,000 people, but then more than half were killed by the mist monsters, so we had to hide in the caves to save our lives."

"After that, the number of people who died next were plagued by disease because they were not used to living in caves. When the food ran out, we started going out to find food, but a lot of people were killed by the mist monsters, but the main cause of death was being eaten away by the fog."

"In the end, there were only 20 other people and me. We couldn't hide in the cave forever, so we decided to go out to find food. But then…"

Harprite suddenly lowered her head silently.

Although Harprite did not continue, Shala knew what had happened.

Tsuraguki suddenly snorted contemptuously: "Huh! And yet you still think you are the servants of the gods? Where's your god? Why didn't he save you?"

Harprite was very embarrassed hearing that, so she lowered her head to hide her face, which was as red as a ripe apple.

"From now on, you are not a servant of God or anyone but a servant of your master. You only have one master, and that is the Void Lord."

"Put your egos down, don't think of yourselves as a race like angels.You are no different from humans, but with two more wings."

"Do not think you are noble, learn to be humble and live in peace with others. If not, I will throw you into the fog, so that you can feel the pain of living in the fog again."

Harprite heard Tsuraguki tremble, she stammered: "I… I understand."

When Tsuraguki heard that, she nodded in satisfaction.

Shala pondered for a moment and then said, "Hm… can your wings change to hands?"

Harprite shook her head, " It's impossible. Our Two wings and two legs is something that we cannot change. However, in the legend that our ancestors left us, if we have the ability to break our limit, and reach the King level or reach the Tier SSR then we can change the parts of our body to resemble humans."

"Anyway, our current form is difficult to use or work with. Other than fighting or hunting in the air, we can't do anything else."

Shala nodded, she seemed to realise why the Lizard race, which was only Tier R, could still survive after the fog covered the world, but the Harpy race, which was Tier SR, couldn't survive.

Sometimes being a high Tier didn't mean that you had a high ability to survive and adapt to the changes of the world.

After taking notes, Shala asked: "So… Can you use energy potions to survive? Or is it possible to use energy potions and food at the same time?"

Harprite thought for a moment and said, "Actually we don't like using energy potions because there is a herb inside that is not suitable for the Harpy race."

When Shala heard that, she frowned and asked: "So... how much food is enough for you to use?"

"Usually we don't use too much food. The type of food we usually use is meat, but the meat must have a high energy source."

Hearing Harprite's words, Tsuraguki laughed scornfully: "you are dying of hunger, but you are still picky about your food? High quality meat? Why don't you eat the mist monsters?"

When Harprite heard that, she felt extremely embarrassed, and hastily explained: "In fact, when the fog had not invaded the world, the Harpie's taste was already very picky. We only eat fruits on the tops of tall trees or monster meat that contains a large amount of mana."

"Ah…" Tsuraguki nodded and said, "So that's why, after the fog invaded this world, the Harpy tribe died a lot, mostly from starvation, right?"

Harprite wanted to refute, but she couldn't find any reason to object. Just like Tsuraguki said, the Harpies' taste buds were very picky, which is also the reason why the Harpy race almost went extinct when the fog came.

Shala sighed. She felt that this problem was a bit difficult to solve. She also knew that even though the territory's current food was abundant, it didn't mean that the territory's food was unlimited.

Although the Harpies were picky eaters, they only had 20 people, and in addition to Harprite, there were 21 people, so the number was not too much.

Shala said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about food for the time being. I will report this to master, you can rest for today, and I will contact you when needed."

Harprite nodded at that, but at this moment, she suddenly spoke up: "Shala… right?"

"That's right, you can call me Shala." Shala laughed.

Harprite was a little embarrassed, but she managed to say, "Sorry… about earlier. We just thought that if we showed strength and arrogance, we would be used by our master, I didn't think…"

When Harprite reached here, she glanced at Tsuraguki, and in the end, she could only say, "I'm sorry."

Shala laughed and said, "Don't worry. It's all in the past anyway, it's mainly your attitude in the future."

Harprite nodded and said, "Thank you… please tell master that we can do anything, as long as he gives us shelter and food."

Shala nodded: "For the time being, you and the others should rest. Wait for me to talk about this with  master, and I'll relay his decision."

When Shala finished speaking, she left with Tsuraguki. When Harprite saw this, she looked around the room, and saw that the other 20 Harpies were also lying on the extremely soft and warm bed. She breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Outside, Tsuraguki and Shala walked side by side, and then Tsuraguki suddenly spoke up: "I didn't expect Harprite to change so quickly. She was extremely arrogant earlier, but  now she took  the initiative to apologise to you."

Shala smiled and replied: "Everyone has to change, isn't Harprite's change extremely good?"

Tsuraguki shook her head: "If Harprite really does change, that's a good thing, but since she changed so quickly, I'm afraid she has another purpose."

"Hahahaha… Tsuraguki, I think you're being too suspicious." Shala laughed.

Tsuraguki shrugged her shoulders: "Don't you doubt her?"

Shala shook her head: "No, do you know why?"

"Why?" Tsuraguki frowned and asked.

"Because Harprite had no choice but to change, lower her ego, and try to fit in." Shala explained: "Harprite is arrogant, but she is a Harpie queen anyway, so she understands her and the Harpie race's current situation."

"The number of the Harpy race is low, and they are probably the last ones in this world. In this foggy world, their power is reduced, or to be more precise, they have no power at all."

Besides, they are also picky eaters, so it is extremely difficult for them to survive in this world."

"It is safe to say that if they don't change, the Harpy race will definitely go extinct."

"Pride won't help the Harpies survive either. Therefore, they have to lower their egos if they wish to have a stable life in this place."

"Of course, Harprite also knows that if she is useless, she and the others might be thrown out into the misty world."

When Tsuraguki heard Shala's analysis, she was surprised: "Wow! I didn't think that you could think that far."

Shala was a bit surprised and asked: "Heh?! Tsuraguki, I heard that you were also a queen before, so why didn't you think of these things?"

"Hahahaha…" Tsuraguki laughed comfortably: "When I became the Queen of Blood Moon, that place was surrounded by many enemies. At that time, there was only one thought in my mind, and that was to kill the enemy."

Shala started sweating, she felt that although Tsuraguki was a queen, she was more like a warrior.

…

Of course, Shala couldn't report information about the Harpy race to Anno or Hikaru because they were both immersed in lust.

Not only Anno, but Selvih and Saraya too were lying on the same bed, trying to satisfy Hikaru with all they had.

Hikaru was like the ancient kings, as he was being 'served' by 3 beauties, which made him feel like he was in heaven.

Hikaru felt he was in a Galgame world. Selvih was the landlady where he rented a house to stay, and she always carried a mysterious and extremely mature look.

Saraya was a close childhood friend who was always carefree, cheerful, and full of energy. Every morning, she would wait for him at the door to go to school with him.

Anno was like a difficult tsundere class president. She was full of love in her heart, but she always pretended to be mature, but in reality she wanted him to pamper her.

Tsuraguki was like the physical education teacher in the school, she was extremely active but also equally generous.

Vuni was like a cousin who had a lot of thoughts, she felt guilty and awkward at the same time, and she also felt extremely chaotic, as if she were facing a forbidden fruit.

In her heart, she really wanted to taste it, but she was afraid that if she tasted it, many problems would appear and it would even be more difficult to solve.

As for Rika... She was like a girl he knew online, she was like a hacker who was able to know everything that was going on around him, and she also knew everything about him.

She is very mysterious but also very pitiful, and he becomes her only spiritual support.
