Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 319: Loli Has a Way
The method has been found.
Unfortunately, it is still a long way from implementation.
Xi Wei is a little anxious; he must get this done within three days. Not only does he need to borrow sacred artifacts, but he also has to pacify the unicorns and make preparations in advance to deal with the Undead Calamity’s attack.
He will go to the temporary office of Emerald Fortress in a moment.
Daylight has already broken.
The late autumn sky is not dim; on the contrary, it is cloudless, azure like the sea. No one would have expected that in just a few days, this sky would be enveloped by pitch-black Deathly Shadow Clouds.
“Master, welcome back.”
As he opened the room, he was greeted by the little maid holding a plate.
She was wearing a maid dress transformed from the Vena Holy Garment, a black and white alice band on her head adorned with beautiful velvet on both sides, and a pair of polished brown cap-toe patent leather shoes on her feet. Her white silk socks reached her ankles, revealing a small section of her smooth calves between them and the black long skirt. She looked dignified yet sported a hint of ethereal playfulness.
Sunlight cast a silhouette on her face through the window, her delicate facial down clearly visible. Her sweet smile seemed unchanging, but in reality, it was only fully displayed in front of Xi Wei.
“Loli, so early today?”
Xi Wei walked into the room, hung his large red cape on the coat rack, removed his upper body’s chest armor along with it, and was left wearing only the inner lining, similar to his usual home clothes.
He then took the plate from Loli and placed it on the table. With his large hand, he gently pulled Loli’s small hand, and together they sat on the leather chair. The little maid happened to sit on his lap, snuggling into his embrace.
“It’s not early anymore, Master.”
Loli’s pretty face was dyed with a blush.
Although she had been intimate with Xi Wei countless times, it did not change her inherently shy nature.
She breathed in Xi Wei’s unique scent, her whole body went limp, lost in the warm and secure embrace of her lover.
“Yes, it’s not early anymore…” Xi Wei sighed.
Before, he had been walking around the city walls of Emerald Fortress, thinking of countermeasures, completely forgetting about time.
Looking out the window now, Emerald Fortress faced away from the Emerald Forest.
It was a vast plain, like a green ocean, with no mountains or hills, and no trees or roads in sight. A gentle breeze blew, causing the grass blades to lower, each blade of grass stretching its waist in the sunlight – it was almost noon now.
“Is Master troubled by something?”
Loli raised her eyes slightly and extended a small hand to gently stroke Xi Wei’s cheek. Her lake-like clear eyes were filled with worry.
She knew her Master was a man who paid great attention to his appearance; even if he wasn’t meeting his subjects, he would tidy his stubble in the morning.
But today, his skin felt rough to the touch.
The stubble scraped against her soft fingers, bringing a slight, not unpleasant, sting.
“I am a little troubled,” Xi Wei did not hide it from Loli. He held Loli’s other hand, his fingers exploring the lines in her palm, resting his chin on her soft shoulder, and burying his nose in her platinum hair. The scent of roses and a faint milky fragrance wafted to his nose, making him feel incredibly at peace.
Xi Wei paused for a while, and Loli waited quietly. The room fell into a gentle tranquility, with only the sunlight flowing along the window ledge.
After a while, Xi Wei took a deep breath and spoke:
“In a few more days, perhaps four or five, the Undead Calamity will arrive and launch an attack on Emerald Fortress. Their scouts have already arrived.”
Xi Wei pointed outside the window, and Loli followed his gaze.
In the clear blue sky, a few black birds occasionally flew by, spoiling the beauty of the entire sky.
Their eyes were scarlet, and their bodies were wrapped in a grayish-green undead aura.
The garrison of Emerald Fortress was helpless against these blood crows; they were almost endless and could not be killed. For every batch killed, another arrived. They did not attack; they simply circled above Emerald Fortress, monitoring every move of the humans.
“Now I need something that can counter the undead, because there is a Legendary-grade Ghost Dragon hidden in the Deathly Shadow Cloud, and none of us are its match.”
“Isn’t there the Moonlight Sacred Well?” Loli pointed out.
“I remember the Moonlight Sacred Well can suppress everyone’s highest strength to the same level. When the undead Ghost Dragon enters the Moonlight Sacred Well, we will have a chance to kill it.”
“It’s not that simple,” Xi Wei said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
Loli clearly felt Xi Wei’s grip tighten.
This man, who had always appeared strong and shielded them from the wind and rain, was bearing immense pressure.
“I will ask Gabriel for a solution. She told me that we need to obtain the Elves’ sacred artifact, the [Star Dew Sacred Judgment Sword]. In addition, we need the help of the reclusive Unicorn clan to activate the sacred artifact. Only then will we have a chance to kill the Ghost Dragon. She alone cannot activate this sacred artifact.”
Xi Wei sighed:
“I am confident about borrowing the sacred artifact, but inviting the Unicorn clan out, I really don’t know how to do it, as I have never interacted with these creatures before.”
“Unicorns?” Loli blinked her big eyes. “Are they those perverted horses with a spiraling crystal horn on their foreheads that can’t move when they encounter a pure and beautiful maiden?”
“Uh…” Xi Wei considered Loli’s description and felt there might be some issues, but essentially, there wasn’t much difference, so he affirmed: “Yes.”
“Then it’s easy to handle~” Loli clapped her hands, a bright smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
“Leave the Unicorn clan to me, Master. Loli has a way to make them obedient~”
“You?” Xi Wei looked confused.
At this moment, the little maid in his arms tilted her pretty face up, puffing out her cute little chest, looking proud.
He couldn’t imagine what ability Loli had to make the entire Unicorn clan bow in submission.
“Is it because you were a High Elf before?” he guessed.
“How is that possible!” Loli shook her head.
“There are so many High Elves in Winter Fort, but only I have this ability, hmph~”
Loli crossed her arms, her fluffy little ears twitching, looking a bit smug.
This piqued Xi Wei’s curiosity. He straightened up, holding Loli’s waist, and eagerly asked:
“Quickly tell me, let me see what methods my precious personal maid has?”
“Want to know?” Loli covered her mouth and giggled.
“Yes,” Xi Wei said with anticipation.
“Then, then Master has to kiss Loli.”
The little maid cooed coquettishly.
“Mwah!”
Xi Wei would certainly not refuse such a thing and directly pecked Loli’s moist red lips.
After getting her satisfaction, the little maid didn’t play coy anymore. She hugged Xi Wei’s neck and leaned close to his ear, whispering softly.
Initially, Xi Wei’s expression was calm and expectant, but at a certain moment, it suddenly became astonished. Then, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a “So that’s how it is” smile.
