A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

"However, if you want me to lay a dragon egg, you can try your best. Maybe this time, I'll get pregnant?"

She then shifted her tone, tempting Saint Karina to commit a crime.

“Normally, I definitely wouldn’t fall for your trick. But now, I really want to try and get you to lay dragon eggs for me.”

So, Saint Karina wanted to try it.

This was agreed upon by the dragon itself, so it is a perfectly acceptable action and should not be criticized or censored.

Just like in modern society, mechanical locks are the most common and earliest type of car anti-theft locks, but they are rarely used alone in mid- to high-end cars.

Mechanical locks primarily restrict vehicle operation and offer limited protection against theft, making them difficult to prevent. Thieves typically pry open steering wheel locks in just a few tens of seconds.

Electronic anti-theft locks are the most widely used and added type of anti-theft locks. The main functions of a one-way electronic anti-theft system are to open and close the car door, trigger an alarm for vibration or unauthorized opening of the door, etc. Some brands also add functions according to customer needs, such as using an electronic remote control to start and stop the engine.

The fatal flaw of electronic anti-theft systems lies in their electronic passwords and remote control operation. When the car owner uses the remote control to open or close the car door, a car thief hiding nearby can use a receiver or scanner to steal the radio waves or infrared rays emitted by the remote control, and then decode them to open the car's anti-theft system.

If someone like Santa Karina gets into the car after being invited by the owner, it's a legitimate act. Only the latter, the car thief, who tries to force his way in despite the owner's objections, is committing a crime.

Without hesitation, Saint Karina wrapped the milky white liquid in the small snake and swallowed it all.

The taste is quite similar to milk, but with a stronger, more potent flavor, like drinking hot, fresh milk wine.

Ophelia's body was even hotter than her appearance. Her figure was already hot and curvaceous, and the little snake's touch made her experience it again.

Although she had never tasted a married woman's flesh, Saint Karina believed that, judging from the little snake's tactile sensation, it wasn't much different from a human's.

"how did you do it?"

Since this was her first experience, Saint Karina was extremely excited.

Ophelia, like a spoiled kitten, rubbed against him frantically.

However, perhaps because she was enjoying being sucked, her indescribable parts were being forcefully shaped into various forms, which was a different kind of pleasure from the one mentioned above.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Saint Karina's entire body became a sensory field, with constant stimulation coming from various places, pushing her consciousness to the brink of lapse.

"Comfortable?"

Ophelia asked this question deliberately, even though she already knew the answer.

It was as if he could see right through himself, but instead of looking down on him, he was quite satisfied with his masterpiece.

It's like a craftsman being very satisfied with his work, or a locksmith being very satisfied that his key can open any shape of lock.

"Hmm... if you mean harmony, then I'd say the harmony between a demon tamer and a demon is extremely comfortable..."

Saint Karina hummed softly through her nose, making no attempt to hide it.

It was endearing, writhing its body and making sounds of both distress and enjoyment.

And then there's the strange emotion rising in my chest. Not human, but a dragon, or rather, a demonic dragon. Former enemies, mutually hostile factions. Now, this kind of relationship has arisen—is it really a good thing?

However, since I don't need to do anything, why think so much? I just need to accept the reconciliation and then leave the world of the book, isn't that enough?

So, Saint Karina continued to ponder the relationship between the key and the lock.

In the midst of their intimacy, Santa Karina's thoughts drifted. For example... chip-based digital anti-theft locks are manufacturer-grade anti-theft measures used in car manufacturers, and most cars use this type of anti-theft device as their original equipment.

The electronic key is a core component of third-generation computer burglar alarm systems. It allows users to manage and inspect all alarms installed by the user.

This key features a programmed design, an LCD screen display, an independent power supply, and is easy to operate. It serves as a tool for customers to change passwords, unlock devices, and check the status and functionality of alarms.

Smart keys can emit infrared signals to open one or two doors, the trunk, and the fuel filler cap. They can also operate the car's windows and sunroof. More advanced smart keys are like credit cards; when the driver touches the door handle, the central locking system starts working and emits a wireless query signal.

Once the smart key card responds correctly, the car locks unlock automatically. The engine will only start when the central processing unit detects the key card inside the car.

The term "master key" has been around for a long time. As the name suggests, it is a key that can open any type of lock with ease.

In people's minds, it has already formed a fixed image and shape; it is a key that can open any lock.

Actually, that's not the case. A master key is a general term for a combination of levers made of wire, hooks, and toothed molds.

The principle of lock picking is very simple: using steel wire, iron sheet, toothed mold, and many other turning tools, and employing some very common mechanical principles, one can use skillful force to turn the lock cylinder, thereby achieving the purpose of opening various locks non-destructively and without leaving obvious marks.

Under certain conditions, using the tools mentioned above to unlock a lock can be even faster and more convenient than using the original key.

Different locks have different mechanisms and structures, and require different unlocking tools; there is no fixed pattern. For a long time, in the contest between master keys and locks, disappointingly, the lock, as the "shield," has been at a disadvantage most of the time.

With the rapid development of modern technology, the universal key is also constantly improving and being updated.

From the earliest rudimentary lock picking tools, such as small steel wires and iron pieces, it has rapidly developed into today's more advanced high-pressure expansion airbags, high-frequency vibrating brushes, and electric electromagnetic lock picks.

More advanced are superconducting soft ray detectors, ultrasonic high-frequency detectors, and the latest laser scanners, which use various light waves and rays to scan and detect the internal structure of locks and easily open them.

At the same time, with the emergence of various electronic locks such as computer-controlled locks, combination locks, fingerprint locks, and retinal electronic locks, smart decoders and electronic code-breaking machines specifically designed for these types of locks have also appeared rapidly.

The universal key is very much in line with the trend of the times, gradually developing towards high intelligence and user-friendliness. The earliest and simplest iron hooks and steel plates can be mastered with very little practice.

Modern intelligent lock picks require no technology or skill whatsoever; they simply need to be powered on to generate high-frequency vibrations to unlock locks at will, making them much more convenient and faster.

287. Leaving the world of the book

When she woke up again, Saint Karina found herself back in that white palace.

The other three were all staring at him, as if he had only recently entered the book.

Why do you all see me like that?

Saint Karina did not ask how much time had passed, because in the palace, the passage of time seemed so disordered that it was easy to forget.

Moreover, she hadn't stayed in the book's world for more than a few days, less than a week in total. The memories of the other body that had been implanted into her brain were still very clear, as were every detail of Kazuha Shigure, who was also the disguise of the demon dragon Ophelia.

"Because... I was just staring blankly at you, Saint Karina. Then that doll-like white hair suddenly disappeared, so..."

Hero said.

"Am I just staying in the same place?"

"Yes, Master, you have never left here. But you have been like a man possessed, staying still for a long time, and we dare not wake you rashly."

Melissa told them what their eyes had seen.

"How could this be? Is it a hallucination?"

Ophelia, the Demon Dragon, hasn't appeared?

"No... quite the opposite, you pulled me out of the world of the book. Or rather, after some reconciliation, I finally obtained the key to the door to the outside world in the book, except that I am now in your shadow."

Saint Karina then realized that under the light, although her shadow was still in the shape of a woman, it had gained horns and a tail, making it resemble a dragon girl.

Why didn't you just come out?

"My strength has declined, so it will be safer for me to follow you."

Ophelia gave the answer directly.

"And... I need you to come with me to find the hero."

"Human heroes?"

"To be precise, she's a reserve hero, the daughter of the previous hero. I need her to grow up, and then I need to get something from her so I can recover."

"You want her dead?"

Saint Karina frowned.

Although she was a wicked woman and had killed many people, both her own kind and those of other races, her existence as a human hero was of extraordinary significance.

If the Church and popes and saints are the pillars of faith, then heroes are the pillars of humanity.

Aside from humans, all races have grudges against demons. Saint Karina will not kill the hero or anyone in the hero's party.

“Let me make this clear beforehand. The only thing I promised that fortune teller was to rescue you, that is, to free you from the world in the book and release you from your cage. Once that's done, we'll be even. I can only help you until you leave this island; anything beyond that is none of my business.”

Saint Karina emphasized.

"You're so heartless. I thought you'd at least cherish me and take care of me..."

"Stop. There's no way I'm going to take care of you. We're on opposing sides, not even from the same race. The sex scene is in the world of the book, and I'm just using someone else's body. In reality, we have no relationship whatsoever, and there's no physical contact between us."

Saint Karina directly made the statement of a bad woman.

"You're really heartless."

This wasn't the first time Ophelia had seen such a despicable woman; she had seen many who fell in love with each one, but this was the woman she loved most today.

However, she had only met someone like Saint Karina, who would deny everything after having her fun and even say it to her face.

“There’s no affection between us, so how can we cut ties? I don’t want to get involved in any trouble.”

"Alright, what if I have something that can entice you? And what I have is not the life of a hero."

"In that case, we can talk. Tell me what the benefits are?"

"It can help you find what you're looking for. Like that woman..."

The two of them knew perfectly well who that woman was.

Ernest VII, Saint Karina knew the answer.

"Finding her is too abstract. What if you can't find her at all? You're not a fortune teller, and you can't see the future."

“I can be your mount, and we will sign a contract. I will serve you just as I served the Demon King back then.”

This suggestion is quite appealing.

For example, being a dragon knight, whether it's riding a dragon in the sky or riding it in any scene on land, Saint Karina is interested in riding dragons.

Moreover, Ophelia is quite beautiful, almost exactly like Saint Karina's.

"Is she proper, the one you're serving?"

"It can be serious, or it can be unserious. It's up to you, Saint Karina."

Ophelia said.

“I think it’s possible. It’s not about killing the hero, but about becoming the companion of the girl who will inevitably become the hero, gaining her trust, and helping you get what you want. I can do this deal.”

Saint Karina felt that she had not lost anything, and that it was not impossible to make a deal.

The advantage is that it can help us find Ernest VII's whereabouts; this demon dragon should know quite a bit.

Even if the intelligence gathering fails, getting a cool new mount, especially a dragon, is pretty good.

Saint Karina might have minded Ophelia being a dragon in the past, but now she doesn't.

"Finally, if you want anything from her, remember to let me know before you take it, once the conditions are met. I also have the right to refuse you from taking it, okay?"

Saint Karina didn't forget to add a sentence.

She didn't want to be tricked by Ophelia. What she received was too much of a burden, something the future heroine couldn't bear. If it was something more important than her life, then Saint Karina would rather not do it at all.

"Okay. The deal is done, then it's a pleasure working together."

Ophelia agreed.

The exchange was completely silent, and the three of them assumed that Saint Karina was daydreaming again, but that wasn't the case.

And so, the pedestrians of Santa Karina left this snow-white forbidden zone of life.

On the way out, until they stepped out of the palace gates, they did not see the white-haired, doll-like inorganic girl again.

Perhaps the other person once possessed personality and intellect, but it was erased over countless years in a chaotic time and space.

In short, it's all just speculation; the truth has long been buried. This girl must have witnessed the deal between Saint Karina and Ophelia, but simply didn't intervene. Even if Saint Karina and Ophelia communicated in some way without speaking...

After leaving that place and getting rid of those books, Saint Karina and the others felt less watched from behind.

Those books must really be "alive," not ordinary objects.

After the last of them left, the palace disappeared.

It was as if the building had never existed, but the existence of the Demon Dragon Ophelia proved that it was not a fantasy.

Moreover, whether arriving at that eerie, pure white room filled with countless forbidden books was by fate or just a coincidence is now impossible to ascertain.

288. A deal is reached

Their ship was still on the sea, and the sirens, whose heads and bodies had been separated, were still in the barrel.

"Hey. You guys are finally back?"

The sirens let out a mocking sound.
