A sigh escapes my lips.
"Hectic days," Alissa says.
I entwine my arms with Alissa and Roxanne's. I'm gonna need lots of cuddling to forget that carnage. The worst parts is the screams, I still can't even forget the shrieking female space mage I killed.
Gify pops into my head this time, he seems more comfortable inside towns. He starts chirping a familiar tune, attracting even more attention to our already eye"catching group. Why is it that everything I do just attracts more attention!?
Alissa grabs Gify and forcefully puts him in my shoulder.
"Gih!" He snaps his beak at her.
"I told you already, don't tousle his hair!"
Gify's eyes sharpen and his beak bends into a pout. Slowly he returns to normal and continues his chirping.
We reach the guild and the sounds of raucous laughter, drinking, and average"to"bad music reaches our ears. Outside of the guild there's a new giant skull biting into the building. It's long and light blue, there's two horns protruding backwards, it's rather familiar.
"Kweh!"
"Yep, it's that one, the ancient dragon we encountered," I say.
Lina purses her lips and clenches her fist.
"It got what it deserved," she mutters.
"Geheh!" Gify chirps a laugh.
Ciel pats Lina's head and she calms down.
"Okay, just me and Alissa will do, the rest of you would attract too much attention, specially Aoi," I say.
You never know when someone might actually be dumb enough to try to steal her. Young tamable dragons are quite valuable.
Hana nods in agreement and scratches Aoi below her mouth. Whenever we are not in immediate danger it's mostly Hana's shoulders that Aoi likes to stay on.
We go inside and reach the nearest attendant. The guards of the guild have a mix of stern gazes to keep the most violent drunks in check or friendly smiles as they skirt their job by talking to adventurers.
"Oh, Mr. Ryder, hello," says the usual brunette attendant. She has short black hair, small eyes, and a very kind and round face. She shows signs of age yet retains an air of sensuality.
"I would like to report an undead sighting," I say.
Her eyebrows knit and her mouth turns into an asterisk.
"Oh my, would you follow me to a meeting room?" Her expression immediately changes into a smile.
We sit down and I see a glint in Alissa's eyes. I retell our encounter and escape from the undead.
"We will send an urgent request for the temple to deal with the undead. We will also put on a request to confirm the library you mentioned. You will be rewarded after confirmation," she finishes writing down her report and turns to us with a bright smile.
"But Mr. Ryder, I didn't knew you were so strong!" she covers her mouth with the tip of her hand.
"We did defeat the Symbol of Hate," I say.
"Though your bravery was commendable, wasn't it the mage who blew it up?"
I smile wryly, talking about the Symbol never goes the way I want.
"Yes it was."
"Oh, but the monster did give you some scars did you not? I see you have quite a few already," she looks at my throat and cheek, "The claws of that monster must have pierced your chest, did it not?"
"Yes... They left some scars, a memento of my battles."
"Oh, how interesting. Could you show them to me?"
The smile on the attendant's face is as pure as they come. She leans forward and her arms squeeze those shapely breasts. I can hear Alissa's tail swaying rapidly in excitement.
"Perhaps, uh, another time. I have more business to take care of," I remember a very sharp gaze of a certain someone that keeps my minds straight.
"I will be waiting for your next visit then," the attendant smiles and waves.
I hurry away from that trap.
"You don't like older women, Wolfy?" Alissa asks.
"I do, I like them a bit
too
much. Which is why we have to stay away from that trap."
"Awn..." Her ears drop cutely.
"Don't 'awn' me, Ciel would strangle me if I were caught flirting."
She giggles.
"I'm sure Lina would too were she not a slave. Roxanne would likely singe your cute butt."
I gotta smile at that. if I were a woman I believe I would be very proud of my ass, it really is very cute and round.
"Lina too? Well, what about Hana?"
"She would likely want to tame that woman for herself."
Oof, my fetishes. I gotta stop thinking about this or else I'm gonna turn just like Alissa.
We go outside and find the girls through the party connection. They are in front of a stall drooling over some good smelling boar proto-shish-kebab.
"Ah, finally. I was about to eat without you guys," Hana asks.
"Rude. We were caught up because Wolfy was flirting with a mature beauty," Alissa says with a smug smile.
Multiple sharp gazes pierces my heart.
"Alissa, that's mean! I did nothing!" I protest.
"All you did was show your manly scars in your chest."
I look at Alissa with hurt, her betrayal is unexpected.
"Are you taking it out on me because I ran from her?"
She merely smiles with even more smugness.
Ciel sighs, she hugs me and I take this opportunity to squish her softness with my body. The lack of armor is the best part of being home.
"Of all fetishes why did you have to have this one, Alissa?" Ciel asks.
"I feel no shame over my desires," Alissa says, "I trust Wolfy that he wouldn't allow himself to fall in love with a stranger or abandon any of us for someone else."
Ciel pouts over the implication she doesn't trust me. I lift my head from the two sources of love.
"We don't have to go with her every wish, she will do fine with me only having you girls," I say.
"I will do fine, I'm only teasing you," Alissa says and pats my head.
"See? This is why I do it, it feels really good," Roxanne says.
"You tease a bit too much," Hana says.
Lina nods.
"It's just banter..." Roxanne mutters.
"Anyway, let's eat dinner here, this place smells amazing," Hana says.
"Hun-gry!" Aoi pleads.
After a long day I just want to eat something good and relax. Some pieces of meat had a mustard and honey sauce, quite delicious. From what I understood the mustard taste came from harpy fat.
We take the dinghy out and fly back home. I can finally re-summon the 3 Shads and Holly, the safety these summons give us allows me to relax once more.
During bath I have my fun with Ciel, she's slightly more aggressive and chipper, for all the stress of this trip it still did wonders to her heart. With a slap on her ass we disconnect from each other and Alissa emerges from underwater, she swallows and smiles.
I recline back on my red"haired breast pillow and melt on the water. Lina gets smothered by Ciel's breasts and I feel it rising again.
Lina's slave collar jingles in a nearly imperceptibly low sound. Can't have that necklace make much sound during sneaking so her tag locks very tightly on the collar.
Lina's collar is actually just a status symbol, a hold over from when slaves were treated as sub-human. Today the only ones who need tight collars to attach chains are the criminal slaves.
It is common for wealthy masters to decorate the collars of good slaves to show how important the slaves are. Some even have detachable collars, turning it into merely a piece of fashion, others use necklaces or chokers to hold their tags. For the law, the tag being visible is the only important thing.
"Lina, do you want to have that collar removed?" I ask.
She looks at me with uncertainty and fear, she's still way too insecure of her position.
"It is merely decoration, you certainly do not need it. Even if you needed you could break it easily with your [
Spirit of Gaia
] or even a small [
Earth Bullet
]."
She grasps the collar and thinks, at least she isn't irrationally afraid anymore.
"I... Had this collar ever since I met Hilde, I just. I don't mind showing I'm a slave, I actually want everyone to know I'm your slave!" she looks at me with wide eyes and a smile.
On the thing that I do not want is the one she shows the most emotion...
"Then let me turn this collar into a mere necklace then. The law tells that you need to show your tag but you don't need it to have it attached to a collar. Even a bracelet would be fine."
"It has to be something detachable, a bracelet would snag on her armor," Hana says.
"See? Nobody is going to mind you wearing something more practical or comfortable," I say.
Heads nod in agreement.
"Wear it with pride. A chain necklace would show how much Wolf trusts you," Ciel says. She kisses Lina in the cheek, making her blush.
Please kiss her on the mouth.
Calm down, lower me.
"Okay. Then..." she lifts her head, her gloominess is changed into excitement. "Can I decorate it?
I nod.
"You can even enchant it," I say.
Her fingers trace the collar on her neck as her eyes go out of focus, a silly smile on her mouth.
Oof, round 2 please.
Today is the 15th.
I wake up to a beautiful sight. Hana purposely copied Roxanne, giving herself a facial. Sometimes I don't even have to ask, these girls fulfill my fantasies at their own will.
Lina leveled to 22, her [Hammer Use] and [Parry] increased by 1 (now 4+10 and 0+5). She has 7 Skill Points unused.
First thing in the morning me and Alissa visit Gordon. I don't feel like training today.
The guild is noisy, there's plenty of gossiping, fellowships being formed and breaking up, hunters discussing bounties and requests. Yet in comparison to yesterday it is very calm.
I look at some of the bounties, there's already a call for an undead subjugation group posted by the temple. They will pay 2 gold to each person joining in. Quite high, but you have to keep in mind that the temple is gonna make sure that the gold is deserved.
The bounty on harpies has increased, it possibly means that their numbers are dangerously high. From what I understand the Lord subsidizes the rewards for bounties, this is the best way to attract freelancing hunters.
There's also a request to exterminate an Oodogloo. Whackers indeed, the monsters keep reappearing. Right now this bounty is below our pay grade, if it doesn't pay in gold it isn't worth the effort.
"Oh hello, Carmen," Alissa says.
A shiver runs up my spine. The brunette milf from yesterday comes towards us.
"Hello Miss Alissa, Mr. Ryder," she nods at me with a sensual smile, I nod back.
Her high heels clack and her slender legs peek out from her short skirt. She stops by very close to me, her large breasts, nearly bursting from the tight uniform, stand exactly on my eye level. Her perfume fills my nose and suddenly all I want is to be stepped on by her.
"A pleasure to see you back so soon," Carmen says.
"We are here in passing only. We are going to deliver some proofs of subjugation and a corpse to Gordon," Alissa says.
"Oh is that so? How did you manage to fight those dragonoids? All I hear is..." She shudders and I feel the urge to hug her and make her feel safe, "how they rape their victims as soon as battle ends, alive or not."
I try my best to turn and focus on the request board again. She either has stupid "Charisma" or she's a siren in disguise. I don't know what would happen if I didn't have Vanea's necklace.
They talk for a few minutes.
"I have to get back to work," Carmen finally says, "Come see me again."
"I will. Until later, Miss Carmen."
"Until then, Miss Alissa," Carmen winks and walks away. Damn those legs.
Even more gazes are on me, a mix of envy and anger. I just wanna curl in corner and disappear.
"Gih."
"Quiet you... Alissa lets go see Gordon."
"Hello there, Mr. Ryder."
He stares at Gify, his mouth hangs open in surprise but recovers and smiles again.
"Hello Mr. Gordon. The surprise this time is that there is no surprise."
Gordon snorts and shakes his head.
"Good, don't even think about one-upping yourself. Though that nature spirit is a surprise in itself."
"Anyway, here," I pull out the corpse of the horned sky blue female dragonoid and the proofs of subjugation. Gordon gasps. "We didn't kill many monsters. Had to kill some bandits, though."
"Oh?" His face instantly turns to me, "I heard some nobles got attacked by kidnappers, was that you?"
"Yeah we were escorting them to Wisps of the Proud."
"Ah... I see, you certainly had me surprised for a second. Thought you were hunting wild dragonoids."
"No, no, I would rather never have my women fight rapists like those."
"That would hardly be the worst part about them," Alissa says, she raises one eyebrow towards me.
"For me it is, I have confidence in our skills but some things you just don't mess with."
She rolls her eyes and pats my head. Gordon shrugs.
"I kinda get that," he says, "Ah yes, I heard the university is mounting an emergency expedition to that dungeon."
"We found a library there," I say, "It was just on the border of undead territory so I guess they don't want the undead to corrupt the books."
"A library on a dungeon?" His grin disappears and an uncharacteristic pensive frowns paints his face. "That's new. Why didn't you bring all the books with you?"
"The dungeon is all a mana solidification, can't bring anything out of it."
"What a bother."
"I know, right? The nobles I was escorting spent a day copying the books and didn't even copy half of them."
"There was a maze near that dungeon though," Alissa says, "We found a treasure chest with a high elven spear."
"Now
that
is a surprise, guess your nickname rings true again," he goes back to smirking.
I shrug and slump back on Alissa's lap.
In the end we only got a single gold coin from the corpse and proofs. Not worth the danger.
We meet back with the girls at the Bazaar. Hana had delivered the bounty plates and got our reward. Average of 95 silver for each head, 2 gold for the leader, 1 gold bonus for bringing him alive. Lina helped Hana in selling the excess equipment we got.
They were low-lives that lived by ransoming lower nobles. Why they chose to kidnap Lyle or Ankara, which had the money to pay for a proper escort like ours, is a mystery. The person who tipped them was incompetent or wanted them dead.
Alissa found some steel-coated bodkin arrows, even more penetrative power for her, something she lacks. The focus of her archery is pinpoint accuracy at close and up to middle range, this is why she didn't develop strong muscles for using stronger bows. An arrow through the eye is an arrow through the eye.
We enter the Bear Hug, it's a shop that was clearly cut in half horizontally by something very sharp. The beams were joined together by [Nature Magic], you can see a small amount of bark growing where the two architecture styles meet. The lower part is rustic and whimsical, the upper part is more modern and minimalist.
"Welcome!" The gruff bear waves towards us, "Miss Hana, good to see you again. Coming back from another job?"
He simply nods at me and I move deeper into the monster fang swords section. The shop is quite long and filled with racks upon racks of all kinds of weapons.
"Good day, Wick," she smiles and they crack each others hands on a crushing handshake.
"Kweh! Good, day!" Aoi says.
Wick chuckles and looks at Aoi warmly.
"Good day to you too, little one," he says.
"We came yesterday from an escort in the Wisps of the Proud," Hana says.
His beary face turns soft as he seems confused.
"Wisps of the Proud? Never heard of that one," he says.
"Barely anybody does. It's a very bleak and dark dungeon filled with dragonoids."
His mouth hangs open, creating folds on his neck.
"Yeah, everybody reacts like that," she laughs, "But it's not like you imagine, these dragonoids are actually creepy in the way they don't show emotion. My [Taunt] did nothing to them, they must have tons of 'Willpower'. I think they don't even eat their kills."
"Oh that makes it better," he breathes out, "Still, the job must have paid well, right? You can't make too much money with them."
Their meat is difficult to use, the scales aren't as tough as real dragons, there are better components for alchemical use. Overall they really aren't that good for selling.
"Yeah, but we got
this
beauty out of it." With a *poof* she pulls out the high elven spear.
"My, oh, my. A treasure chest?" He glances at Hana and she nods, "It's enchanted too!"
He pours some mana into it and the spear elongates.
"You know a nature mage?" He asks.
Hana points to me. Gify pops into my head.
"Wow!" He looks at Gify with curiosity, "You certainly got the talent. Learn how the elves maintain their weapons so you don't lose this beauty so easily."
I nod back emphatically. I have an idea of how to do it but I will need Lina's help to complete my knowledge.
"Say, I got a new item that I think would be excellent for that young lass over there," he points to Lina, she's bent over looking at some javelins.
She suddenly stiffens her back and look at us with surprise. Wick laughs and goes deeper inside the shop. He comes back with an engraved steel axe, it has a spike on the back. There are two small transparent gems at the handle. The engravings reminds me of circuits.
Lina opens her eyes wide when she sees it. Wick hands her the axe and she stands still, unsure what to do.
"Go on, activate them."
Lina pours a small amount of mana on both gems. Suddenly the axe head melts and in two seconds it hardens, its shape changed into an engraved hammer, its shaft elongated a good half meter.
"A switch-axe," Lina mutters.
"Exactly, I got this directly from Mountainhome. There's rarely any dwarves around here and curiously those who do are mostly mages, for some reason. You, young warrior, would make a good use out of it."
"How much?" I ask. Lina looks at me in surprise.
"Two rose coins."
"Oi, that's a bit much," Hana says.
"It's doubly enchanted, you know," he purses his lips and crosses his arms in sass.
"Yeah but this ain't Mountainhome. You said it yourself, you will have some difficulty selling this here."
"Fine, fine. One rose coin and 70 gold."
We have that money but it will be tight. The [
Extend
] enchantment on that switch-axe is perfect for her. If she learns how to improve that enchantment then we can transform that switch-axe into a pole-axe, fixing her main weakness, reach.
I discreetly look at Hana and wink.
"You know, the [
Switch
] enchantment is good and all but that [
Extend
] is a bit lacking," Hana grabs the axe and flicks it about, "I mean, barely half a meter? Her war hammer is just a tad longer than this axe at its longest! This is not a pure dwarven weapon, their weapons are normally longer than a human's to make up for their smaller frame."
Wick cringes and scratches his cheek. Did he get swindled?
"One rose coin and 50 gold," he says.
"Nah, one rose coin," Hana says.
"One rose coin and 40 gold."
She hands over the switch-axe.
"Thirty gold," he seems a bit strained.
"Ten gold," she says.
"Too little profit for me," he shakes his head, "Twenty gold."
She narrows her eyes and thinks for a moment. "Deal."
Lina grabs some heavy and cheap javelins.
"These too, they can be useful for disabling shields," she says.
Hm... If I give her [Throw] this could work.
Ciel and Alissa come back to us.
"Nothing?" I ask.
"Yeah," Ciel drops her shoulders, "There's no crystal alloy weapons anymore. Without Aremut the number of crystals is too low."
Lina's Trivia
: Aremut was a kingdom that exported huge amounts of attuned crystals. Their mines were abandoned after the kingdom fell to the undead. You can grind these attuned crystals to dust and use them to coat weapons, helping in casting spells. Ciel had one such glaive once when she was a Warrior Priestess.
I produce the money and hand it over to Wick. Lina receives the axe and squeezes it hard at her almost non-existent chest. She walks with a spring on her step, but that's not all she's getting.
Roxanne takes us to a jewelry shop. She was thoughtful enough to bring us to a middle"range shop. I can see the subtle changes in architecture, this shop seems to have been destroyed 3 times.
The items on display are mostly polished simple metal bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. None of the girls wear earrings, they seem interested in it, though, even Hana.
"I think for you we need something simple and smaller. Perhaps like a choker," I say.
"Choker?" Lina innocently asks, tilting her head.
I beckon the saleswoman and asks her to show us the chokers. She brings to the counter a large drawer full of small chokers.
"Look at the leather ones, they are more comfortable. It also needs a bit of resistance so no cloth or thin metals," I say.
She suddenly turns into a very pensive expression. Her eyes move wildly through the multiple choices, scanning each of them.
"Don't tell her the price," I whisper to the saleswoman.
She smiles kindly and nods.
I walk back and check on the other girls. Roxanne is the most obviously excited one, she seems to be enjoying dragging Hana around, showing her all the different jewelry. Alissa is more contained but her swaying tail betrays her expression, her ears perk at each new thing Roxanne shows to Hana. Ciel is the most calm, priesthood gives few material benefits and she seems accustomed to it.
"See something you like?" I ask Ciel.
"Yes, but I have seen them so many times just seeing isn't exciting anymore," she smiles bitterly.
"Sorry. With the money short we should keep upgrading our equipment," I say to her, also smiling with some bitterness.
I want to pamper them more, so much more.
"If you did waste money on jewelry I would force you to return it," she sends me a sharp gaze that quickly dissolves, "But I would forgive you for good intentions."
I see a small smile on the corner of her lips.
I move towards Alissa.
"Choose one, we will come back here one day," I whisper to her.
Her expression doesn't change but her tail sways faster.
I go after Roxanne and smoothly get her to release Hana and use myself as sacrifice. With a silent thank you, Hana goes back to looking a things on her own pace, she seems to be fond of earrings. Aoi surprisingly showed some interest in earrings too, perhaps she would like a piercing one day.
I get on Roxanne's rhythm and engage with her enthusiasm. I'm used to doing this with a certain someone so I have experience on this area. It's enjoyable seeing her trying out the jewelry and showing the ones she finds beautiful. Some women want to be pretty only for themselves, for their own ego, but if you convince them to also dress themselves for
you
then things get much more interesting, and sensual.
When Roxanne's energy dips a little I interrupt her.
"Let's go see Lina, she might need help choosing."
"Oh, right. Knowing her shyness she will never choose something for herself," Roxanne says.
We go back to her and she seems torn between two. Both are brown simple leather chokers, but one has white geometrical embroidery while the other has pink heart-shaped embroidery.
"Pink," Roxanne says.
"White," I say.
Lina turns to us and her eyes spell desperation, they quickly switch between each of us, uncertain in who to choose. The saleswoman gushes at her cuteness.
I lean over her and whisper.
"In the end, you should trust your feelings and go with it."
She twiddles her thumbs and taps the glass in anxiety. Then she suddenly picks the white one.
"Victory!" I celebrate with a raised clenched fist.
Roxanne winces and hunches over. I rub her hand and she slowly recuperates. Lina has her head hung low in embarrassment, her cheeks dyed red.
There's a square metal plate in the middle of choker, she could fit a gem there for enchanting.
I use a small key and open up her collar. With it open it's easy to remove the small tag, a yellow metal plate with her info carved on it. I hand the tag to the saleswoman and she deftly puts it on her choker.
Roxanne lifts Lina's hair while I put her new choker. I give her a peck on the cheek.
"You look much cuter," I whisper.
She blushes again.
I pay the saleswoman and we go home. Lina is fidgety, her body barely containing her happiness. I feel like we have to be careful with Lina, everyone wants to pamper her, there's nobody to rein us in when we go too far.
When we reach home a messenger was waiting for us in front of the house. Vanea sent the message, she wants to meet us at 2PM on her office at the university. I was planning to meet her tomorrow but I believe what the bandit leader told her must have piqued her interest.
The university is so empty, so quiet. It's quite creepy since I only come here when classes are on and there's hundreds of students about.
I'm not really nervous about it due to our oaths so I just take my time and calmly knock on the door to her office at the exact time she wanted.
"Come in," she says.
I enter her office and immediately see something is wrong. Her chair is at her side, I can't see what she's sitting on.
"Hello, Mr. Ryder. It seems you had quite the eventful break, didn't you?" She asks, a hint of warmth on her voice."
"Y-yes. Just a simple job became so much more in an instant," I smile and bow slightly.
"A nature spirit, undead, and bandits, what a combination. You sure you aren't a hero?" She asks.
Oddly Gify does not respond at his mention, he's simply curled and "sleeping" on my shoulder.
I walk closer and sit on a chair, Alissa does the same. I got a glimpse of something very weird and my brain can't process it yet.
"I am sure. Even though I have a Gift, I have no such lofty ambitions."
There's no need to hide it from her. Her oath is the most valuable thing I have right now.
She stares at me and taps the table, judging my words.
I'm sweating cold but not because of our talk.
"Who knows about your Gift?" She asks.
"Lyle Rizek, Delwyn and Gwinevere Griffiths, Ankara Gartania, Ankara's knight Sir Tankar, a duo of space mages serving Lyle, and the bandit leader."
"Remove the leader from that list. He's already dead, too much of a liability."
I frown, my mind taken off from what I saw. I wanted Lina here, I want to hug her and feel her little ass rub on my crotch like she always does.
"Well then, this already solves another curious thing I had to stop," I raise my eyes to her, puzzled, "Likely Ankara Gartania was snooping around, looking for information on you."
He didn't waste a second, it seems.
"Not unexpected," Alissa says. Her voice is calm but she's sweating cold too.
"He promised me he wouldn't do anything, if he continues I will pay him a visit secretly," I say.
I won't let him jeopardize my life here.
"I already dealt with it. That stupid family," she rolls her eyes, "You better stay away from the Gartanias, they are glory hounds. They passed too many generations without a True Noble so they are looking for any opportunity to rise in prestige. It seems that horrible nature has stuck hard on their youngest son, too."
"Oh? I had no idea. I have no plans to work with him again so it wouldn't be an issue anyway."
"They are worse than mercenaries, at least hired swords are predictable, you never know who the Gartanias have sold their loyalty to. Unless you are the emperor don't rely on them. Also, it's extremely likely Ankara was the target of the kidnapping."
"I thank you for your advice," I bow slightly.
She smiles smugly at me. Now that her own necklace she gave to us is having a good effect on her eyes I can see how beautiful and refined her face really is, a delicate and sensual rose. Yet full of disgusting and dangerous spines. I will never touch her, I will never feel attracted to her, specially because of what she's actually sitting on.
"Excuse me, but what is
that
?" I point to her "chair".
Vanea stands up with a maniacal smile and looks down.
"Smegma, get up."
I use my [Sense Soul] and shivers run through my entire body.
Soul Info
Name: Smegma | Race: Human | Level: 37
That's Farana Uiara, Darean's lover. She's wearing a blindfold, a ball gag, a lacy black bra (first time I saw a proper bra on this world), very small sexy lacy panties, long black silky gloves and thigh highs. Her hair is glossy and shiny, almost as good as Alissa's. There's a round cylinder protruding out of the middle of her legs, its contour can be seen pressed on her panties. A clear white liquid drips out of the middle of her legs.
Alissa lifts her nose and sniffs at the air, then she recoils and pales.
"You should know her, you captured her for me," she undoes Smegma's bra, small pink nipples are shown, "This is Smegma, my newest assistant. I have been training her very well, Haaran and his knights assure me her ass is incredibly tight. Would you like to have go at her? I would like to watch."
She pulls down Smegma's panties and I can clearly see two very wet dildos are shoved inside her, one on each entrance. Vanea grabs one and pumps it. Smegma moans loudly and a long trickle of liquid drips down.
Vanea licks her wet hand and caresses Smegma's head with the other. Then she sits down at her real chair.
"Was that all you had for me?" I ask.
"In the empty office there's a space mage waiting for you, he will take you to the Dream Eater we got for you. Tomorrow morning a messenger will come, invite him inside and tell him of a spot where he can drop a 'coordinate' for [
Gate
]. He will take you to your teacher of [Godly Language], you should discuss with the teacher how your classes are going to be like."
"Understood. Then excuse us, please."
"Awn, that's a shame. In case you want to have a taste of her she will
always
be by my side."
We hurriedly bow and leave the office.
"What the fuck," I whisper.
I actually wanted to talk to her about the emellanat the mercenaries had but fuck getting inside that place again.
"What. What did she do to her?" Alissa whispers back.
"I don't know and I don't want to know."
Gify finally stirs awake and opens his eyes.
"Gih!"
"I agree, I will never touch her while I'm still sane."
Alissa nods.
"Wait, why did you ignore us when we entered that place? You could have helped us absorb the shock, you know."
"Gih, guh... Gih!"
Coward, you were as useful as goblin jizz.
We are both shocked so we take a few minutes outside recovering until we have courage again to enter the empty office. There's only a bored man sitting on a chair.
"Mr. Ryder?" Asks the man.
"Yes, that's me."
"Please use this portal."
A familiar black circle opens, the man immediately crosses it and we follow behind. I just want to get this day over with.
We are brought into a very large room, it's made of blue slabs, there are no windows, and only crystals for light. I think we are below the castle. There's 7 familiar knights here.
"Good day, Mr. Ryder. Oh, a nature spirit," Marduk says, he gives me his characteristic crooked smile.
"Good day, Sir Marduk. This little one decided to attach itself to me."
"Gih."
"I see, you are certainly an interesting one," he says.
Who? Me or Gify?
The red skinned man turns and bows to Alissa, surprising her a little.
"Good day, Dame Alissa."
"T-that's not necessary, I'm a Blood Slave," she hurriedly shows him her mark on her wrist.
He straightens up and finally forms a full smile.
"It
is
necessary. Your archery and keen senses were a great help during our capture of the little spy and we owe you an apology as we nearly allowed you to die to the invisible assassins," he says earnestfully.
I force a smile because I want to forget of what I have done. Alissa seems the same.
"I... I will accept it, then," she shyly adds.
Something very, very angry is about to be unleashed. No one is allowed to make her like this. Uuuugh, let's get this day over with, already!
"The Dream Eater is ready?" I ask, trying to hurry things up.
"Yes, it is over there," he points to a half-meter tall airtight metal box, "Give us a signal and we will unleash it. We will stay back to make sure you can absorb all of its soul, is that okay?"
"It is. I will kill it with magic only. The people inside this room, are they trustworthy?"
Marduk's face twitches for a moment.
"Yes, they are all loyal knights of Vanea and Haaran."
"Good. Open it up, please."
Marduk nods and waves at one of the knights.
"Open up and scatter!" He barks an order.
"Yes, sir!" He clenches his fist over his chest.
I guess this is the standard salute.
The knight moves to the box while everyone else moves to the corners of the room.
"Do it!" I yell.
I focus and summon a 3 meters tall earth elemental and a normal wind elemental. The young knight pulls a lever and one of the sides of the box falls, then he runs to his friends.
Out of the box a dark grey smoke comes out, it forms a fuzzy shape equal to a Shadow Satyr. It's a smoky human with horse ears, horse legs, completely black skin and a straight, featureless face. It wields a very curved scimitar, almost a crescent.
Then a long oval wooden mask covers the face of the satyr, it has a round sleeping face carved into it. There are rectangular slits on the eyes and mouth, the hole of the slits are white and glow when the monster casts spells. This is a Dream Eater, quite creepy.
It charges towards us.
"Wind elemental, hold it in place. Earth elemental, kill it," I order.
I cast [
Gravity Crush
] on the mask.
The wind elemental spins, twirls, and dances, a small tornado starts around the Dream Eater, causing its smoke body to dissipate. It tries to gather its smoke but the wind is too strong, it tries to inch its mask forward but my spell holds it in place.
The earth elemental is big and heavy enough to just ignore everything. It slams its fist down on the ground and the mask shatters in hundreds of pieces. It's dead. I dismiss the elementals.
Marduk walks towards us, his mouth hangs open.
"You, uh, y-you didn't chant?" He asks.
"No. I have a Gift, talk to Vanea and make sure this never leaves this room," I say in a monotone.
He reflexively salutes, his red skin glistens with cold sweat.
"Yes, sir! Uh..." He realizes he called me "sir", "Mr. Ryder... Anyway, did it work?"
I summon a Dream Eater, exactly the same as the one we just killed. The knights freeze in their steps and murmur between each other.
Having one spell being chantless is one thing, having multiple is another, being a Gifted person that can cast spells chantless is mind blowing. I can see a mix of respect and fear on their eyes.
"Then I would like to return, please," I say.
"Yes. Artan, open the portal."
"Yes, sir!"
The black circle appears.
"See you soon, Sir Marduk," I say and give him a short bow.
"Huh? Ah, yes yes. Until our next battle together," he gives a short bow.
Alissa bows as well.
I enter the circle and hurry back home.
I spend the rest of my day at our balcony, having tea and cookies with the girls. I think I need a vacation.
Watching the hustle and bustle of the streets is quite relaxing. So many people have to work hard and here I am, sipping tea with more flowers than I have hands to hold.
Today's bath time was monopolized by Lina. All she wants is to show her gratitude to me by having her vagina fuse with my dick. Now that is something she's not shy about expressing.
