Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
After kissing for a while, seeing that Loli was having trouble breathing, Xi Wei reluctantly let her go.
“Master…”
Loli murmured softly, lying on her back in Xi Wei’s arms. Her hair was spread out, and her slender hands were still wrapped around Xi Wei’s neck. Her pretty face was flushed, her hazy eyes were full of moisture, and she was biting her delicate lips. Her fluffy tail was tightly wrapped around Xi Wei’s waist, and she looked obedient and shy.
Xi Wei’s appetite was whetted, and he was about to lean down to continue, but the girl’s warm fingers gently pushed against his lips.
“M-Master… no, there’s a monster… Let’s run first, and then you can… you can eat me.”
Loli struggled to sit up from Xi Wei’s embrace, but her whole body was soft and limp from being kissed so much that she had no strength left, and she fell back down.
“There’s no monster. The one you saw was a Minotaur Warrior. He’s a new vassal I just recruited.”
Xi Wei playfully pinched the girl’s nose and carried her to sit on the bed.
“No monster… he’s Master’s vassal?”
Loli snuggled obediently in his arms, her cute and tender cheeks pressed tightly against his chest, her voice full of confusion.
Xi Wei held the girl’s waist with one hand and grasped her tender, boneless hand in his palm with the other, gently stroking it and saying softly, “That’s right, it’s the one you met at the door earlier – with ox horns and big eyes, and he only comes up to your knees.”
Loli stared blankly at Xi Wei, then suddenly remembered something. With a soft cry, she buried her pretty face in Xi Wei’s embrace, acting like an ostrich.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming more intimate, Gudbad’s figure suddenly appeared at the door, which hadn’t been closed in time. At the same time, his loud voice could be heard:
“My Lord, there’s an urgent letter for you, you… uh…”
Gudbad leaned against the doorframe and looked up, wishing he could gouge out his own eyes.
Gudbad smiled awkwardly, looking up at the ceiling. “Well, my Lord, please continue. I’ll leave the letter on the ground. I didn’t see anything, I didn’t hear anything…” With that, Gudbad immediately placed the letter on the ground and tried to run off.
“Come back!”
The low, angry voice made Gudbad stop in his tracks. He cursed his bad luck, his face contorted in a tearful expression. Lowering his head, he slowly shuffled back to the door.
Xi Wei looked at Gudbad outside with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes and said slowly:
“I thought making you wash underwear and socks for a month was too light. Now I’m extending it to three months. You, have, no, objections, right?”
“No…”
“Alright, you can go.”
Xi Wei waved his hand, out of sight, out of mind.
“Yes…”
…
Not long after Gudbad left, Loli left Xi Wei’s embrace, her face flushed as she climbed out of bed. She gently smoothed her slightly wrinkled clothes, then curtsied to Xi Wei and murmured:
“Master, you… you have something important to do. Loli… Loli will leave now. I still have class with Mrs. Chris…”
After speaking, the girl didn’t wait for Xi Wei’s response. With a blushing face, she fled Xi Wei’s room as if escaping.
“Ah—”
Xi Wei raised his hand, intending to stop her, but the little maid had already disappeared.
Finally, he could only shake his head helplessly and pick up the letter Gudbad had delivered from the ground.
…
The urgent letter was sent by Baron Talomb’s messenger. Xi Wei quickly browsed through it.
Apart from over ten thousand words of flattery and nonsense, the remaining less than a hundred words expressed the central idea of the letter – a plea for reinforcements.
Baron Talomb hoped for assistance from his neighbor, Xi Wei, because his Black River Territory was being attacked by Orcs.
The Black River Territory was located below the Eagle Territory and bordered Dawn Town. It was named the Black River Territory because of a river rich in black carp.
As for whether to support the Black River Territory, the answer was yes. The Black River Territory was a barrier that separated the Orc Empire from the Eagle Territory.
If the Orcs did not attack the Black River Territory but instead tried to attack the Eagle Territory directly, they would have to cross the dangerous Solendo Mountain Range.
So, if the Black River Territory fell, and as the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact, the Eagle Territory would be attacked next.
But war costs money. The Eagle Territory was not wealthy to begin with. Talomb’s writing ten thousand words of flattery just to expect Xi Wei to send troops and exert effort to clean up after the Black River Territory was simply wishful thinking.
He had to take this opportunity to extort a hefty sum from Talomb.
Just then, the system’s electronic voice sounded in Xi Wei’s mind.
“Ding! Daily Villain Mission has been refreshed.
Villain Mission 1: Steal the stockings of any maid in the castle.
Villain Mission 2: Extort supplies worth over ten thousand gold coins from a neighboring territory.
Villain Mission 3: Tease the Demi-human Saintess.
Well, this darn system knew he was going to extort Talomb and was about to meet players again?
It was directly telling him to tease the Demi-human Saintess?
Xi Wei found it very appealing. The system mission was exactly what he needed.
As for stealing stockings? There was only one maid in the castle, Loli, so the darn system was practically naming her.
Moreover, given his relationship with Loli, why would he need to steal? He could directly ask for them openly, and he believed that Loli wouldn’t refuse.
Having made up his mind, Xi Wei immediately wrote a short reply to Talomb, stating his conditions for sending troops.
He was confident that Talomb would agree to his demands.
Because no noble feared death.
…
“Extortion! This is simply extortion!”
In Black River Castle, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline and a bulging belly was angrily roaring, his face red.
He had been cursing for an entire afternoon since he received Xi Wei’s reply.
Broken plates lay scattered on the ground, seeming to silently accuse him of his anger.
This man who was spewing empty threats was the Lord of the Black River Territory, Baron Talomb of Black River.
In the main hall, the butler and guards stood to the side, their eyes focused on their noses and their noses on their hearts, not daring to speak.
“Look at what he wrote in his reply? Ten thousand gold coins! And five hundred sets of armor! And food?!”
“If I had these things, why would I be holed up in Black River Castle? I would have already counter-attacked the Orc Empire’s royal court!”
“The most outrageous thing is that this scoundrel actually said that if I can’t afford it immediately, I can write an IOU!?”
“Doesn’t that scoundrel know that if the Black River Territory falls, the next one to suffer will be his Eagle Territory?”
Talomb was so angry that he was hopping mad, pacing back and forth in the main hall. When he looked up and saw his subordinates all feigning ignorance, he became even more irate.
“A bunch of useless eaters! What good are you?!”
Talomb kicked the butler and drew the long sword at his waist, saying fiercely,
“Doug, aren’t you usually the sharpest? Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been secretly skimmed my taxes. If you don’t come up with a solution today, I’ll chop off your dog’s head and feed it to the dogs!”
Butler Doug, threatened by Talomb’s long sword, was scared out of his wits and pleaded in terror,
“My Lord, spare my life! Let me think… let me think.”
Doug was sweating profusely, not understanding how his usually clever mind was failing him at such a critical moment.
Seeing the Lord’s eyes becoming more sinister and the sword getting closer to his neck.
“I’ve got it!”
Doug had a flash of inspiration, and a general idea quickly formed in his mind.
His body also relaxed, and he let out a fart that carried some… substance.
