Sylvar Crowe was extremely annoyed
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have said so much. I completely ruined the atmosphere. Now how am I supposed to kiss her? No, no, no… why am I always thinking about kissing?
After tilting her head for a moment, Rory Mercury suddenly reacted. She immediately grabbed Sylvar Crowe's bathrobe with both hands.
"Action? What action?" Rory Mercury asked.
Sylvar Crowe looked at the girl standing in front of him. Her face was flushed as if she were drunk. Seeing that situation, he immediately tried to change the subject.
"It's going to fall apart! Your bathtub is going to fall apart! Don't use force! Don't use force!" Sylvar Crowe said in panic.
"It will be easier if we disperse," Rory Mercury said.
What is Sylvar Crowe thinking about right now?
Sylvar Crowe immediately changed the subject again.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Isn't that enough?" Sylvar Crowe said quickly.
As he spoke, he deliberately turned his head away.
After turning his head away, he began explaining.
"I sent everyone away because of the Gate. That thing is an artifact. It is a self-operating artifact. No one is controlling it. If I could control it, I would gain the ability to transport people between worlds at will."
"How is that possible?" Rory Mercury said in surprise.
"Under normal circumstances, it really isn't possible," Sylvar Crowe said. "But it is possible for me."
"That's because I have an ability called the Universal Seal. As long as I have enough magic power, no matter whether it is a divine artifact or some other object, I can directly seal it into my book."
"Even if you seal it, how are you going to use it?" Rory Mercury asked. "And how can you be sure your magic power is greater than the Gate's magic power?"
"That's why I need to prepare in advance," Sylvar Crowe said.
"What preparation?" Rory Mercury asked.
"I will set up trap magic in advance to suppress the Gate's magic power. That way, when I try to seal it into my book, its magic power will already be weakened. When the Gate's magic power drops to a certain level, I will seal it and obtain it," Sylvar Crowe explained.
"You said the Gate's magic power will weaken. Why?" Rory Mercury asked.
"That is part of the Gate's story. Haven't you heard it?" Sylvar Crowe said. "The Gate appears once every thousand years. During the thousand years when it disappears, it accumulates energy."
"And every time the Gate connects two worlds, there is a time limit. That means the Gate is constantly consuming energy."
"When the Gate consumes enough energy and weakens to a certain degree, I can seal it."
"After all, it is only an object without self-awareness. Even though its ability is extremely powerful and allows travel between worlds, it will actually be relatively easy to seal if it does not resist," Sylvar Crowe said seriously.
Rory Mercury's eyes suddenly lit up.
It looked like she had thought of something.
"I want to go too. The action!" Rory Mercury said.
"No," Sylvar Crowe said immediately.
Rory Mercury raised her finger and gently lifted Sylvar Crowe's chin.
"Really?" she asked softly.
Her breath smelled sweet like orchids. Her tone was extremely charming.
It was like a fragrance drifting through the air. Her breath brushed across Sylvar Crowe's face like a spring breeze.
Sylvar Crowe's heartbeat immediately accelerated.
Not good.
Not good.
If this continues, I will definitely be captured by her.
Sylvar Crowe hurriedly said, "Okay, okay! We can go together!"
He said those words just as Rory Mercury's lips were about to touch his.
Sylvar Crowe thought in regret, Ah… if I had just let her kiss me and then explained afterward, that would have been better.
"What a pity," Rory Mercury said.
Sylvar Crowe also thought silently, Yes… what a pity.
But he still stepped backward quickly.
It was as if a wolf were chasing him from behind.
Sylvar Crowe immediately cast space magic.
Earlier that morning, when he came out of the Gate, he had already observed the interior structures of the buildings surrounding it.
A space tunnel opened.
Rory Mercury followed behind him.
The two of them passed through the tunnel and appeared inside a tall building.
"Rory, there is really nothing fun here," Sylvar Crowe said.
"Isn't it fun to be alone with you?" Rory Mercury asked.
Sylvar Crowe felt a chill run down his spine.
Is she really this good at flirting?
Did I make a mistake?
If this continues, I might really fall into this trap of gentle words.
Can someone please come save me?
Sylvar Crowe forced an awkward smile.
Then he began working seriously.
He mobilized ninety percent of his magic power and began constructing the trap.
A circular magic formation appeared on the ground.
The magic circle flashed briefly.
Then it disappeared and concealed itself.
After setting the trap, Sylvar Crowe prepared to leave.
"Is setting only one trap enough?" Rory Mercury asked.
"How could that possibly be enough?" Sylvar Crowe said.
"This spell alone consumed ninety percent of my magic power. When my magic power recovers, I will come back and set another one."
"And after I deal with that apostle, I will stay here day and night for the next twenty days and continue setting traps," Sylvar Crowe said.
"Interesting," Rory Mercury said.
She slowly wiped her cherry-colored lips with her fingers.
Sylvar Crowe glanced at her and thought for a moment.
Rory Mercury is really charming…
No.
No.
What am I thinking?
Sylvar Crowe quickly shook his head to clear the thoughts from his mind.
Then he reopened the space tunnel and returned to the hotel.
The moment he arrived, two pairs of eyes were staring directly at him.
Lelei and Tuka Luna Marceau were standing there.
Sylvar Crowe saw their gazes and whispered awkwardly, "You two haven't gone to sleep yet?"
At that moment Rory Mercury also stepped out of the space tunnel.
After seeing the situation, she gave a mischievous smile.
Then her face suddenly turned red.
She rubbed her legs together slightly. Her expression looked shy and embarrassed, as if something had happened.
Lelei and Tuka Luna Marceau looked at Rory Mercury.
Then they looked back at Sylvar Crowe.
Sylvar Crowe also looked at Rory Mercury.
Then he looked at Lelei and Tuka Luna Marceau again.
He suddenly realized what was happening.
This Rory Mercury was deliberately acting strange again.
What a sinister person.
Sylvar Crowe immediately waved his hands and said in a hurry, "Nothing happened! We didn't do anything just now!"
Rory Mercury smiled slightly.
Then she spoke softly.
"Yes. We just spent a little time alone together."
For some reason, the pronunciation of the word "just" was extremely emphasized.
There was nothing wrong with the sentence itself.
But the expression on her face and the movement of licking her finger made the sentence feel very suspicious.
Sylvar Crowe thought helplessly, Stop adding drama, Rory.
Lelei and Tuka Luna Marceau immediately looked at Sylvar Crowe with murderous intent in their eyes.
Sylvar Crowe sensed that the atmosphere had become dangerous.
He immediately explained everything honestly.
After a long explanation, the two girls finally understood the reason.
"But even if you obtain the Gate, it is still a divine artifact capable of traveling between worlds," Lelei said. "Can you really afford the energy consumption required to use it?"
"I cannot afford the power of the Gate," Sylvar Crowe admitted.
"But once I obtain it, I can travel between worlds."
"Isn't that exciting?"
"And I can search for more sources of energy in other worlds," Sylvar Crowe said.
"Wait a moment," Lelei said. "If you cannot afford the energy consumption, then once you travel to another world, you might not be able to return."
Sylvar Crowe smiled slightly.
"It seems there is a big secret I must tell you."
"I am from another world."
Lelei, Tuka Luna Marceau, and Rory Mercury all looked confused.
They were all thinking the same thing.
We already know you are from another world.
Seeing their confused expressions, Sylvar Crowe repeated himself.
"I am from another world."
"I know," Lelei said. "You are from this world, but to our world you are from another world. Why are you repeating it again and again?"
Sylvar Crowe raised his index finger and shook it slowly.
"No, no, no. You are mistaken."
"I am from another world."
"But not this world."
"Have you not noticed something?"
"There is no magic in this world."
Lelei suddenly froze.
"Now that you mention it… I really have not seen anyone else use magic here."
"Yes," Sylvar Crowe said. "Except for me."
"I understand now," Rory Mercury said. "But how did you arrive here?"
"This is related to my magic," Sylvar Crowe explained.
"My magic allows me to travel between worlds."
"But the destination is completely random."
"The probability of arriving in the same world twice is almost zero."
"That is why I must obtain the Gate."
"With the Gate, I can set coordinates in different worlds."
"After that, I will be able to travel freely between worlds."
Sylvar Crowe's eyes shone with excitement.
Lelei immediately spoke.
"Is there anything I can help you with? And please make sure to take me with you when you go to other worlds."
"Me too," Tuka Luna Marceau said.
"And me," Rory Mercury said.
Sylvar Crowe looked at Rory Mercury and spoke carefully.
"Rory… you are the apostle of the god of death. If you leave your own world, will there be any problems?"
"I am already in another world right now," Rory Mercury said calmly. "There will be no problem."
Sylvar Crowe sighed helplessly.
"Fine. After I seal the Gate, I will find an opportunity to take all of you to another world to play."
After chatting and laughing for a long time, everyone returned to their rooms to sleep.
At first Sylvar Crowe was worried that Rory Mercury might sneak into his room.
But the moment he lay down, he immediately fell asleep.
The next morning, Sylvar Crowe suddenly felt something heavy on his body.
He opened his eyes.
Rory Mercury was lying directly on top of him.
Sylvar Crowe suddenly felt dizzy.
At that moment Rory Mercury also opened her eyes.
She smiled sweetly.
"What's wrong, dear?"
The word "dear" struck Sylvar Crowe like a bolt of lightning.
The word echoed inside his mind again and again.
Dear.
Dear.
Dear.
Sylvar Crowe stared blankly at her.
Rory Mercury waved her hand in front of his face.
Sylvar Crowe slowly returned to his senses.
But his body still did not move.
It felt like he had been bitten by a venomous snake.
He did not dare move at all.
Rory Mercury leaned forward.
Their foreheads gently touched.
"You don't have a fever," Rory Mercury said. "Why are you spacing out?"
Sylvar Crowe's heartbeat accelerated wildly.
The temperature of his face rose rapidly.
His breathing became heavier.
Rory Mercury seemed to notice something.
She smiled mischievously.
"Do you want to see it?"
As she spoke, she pulled open her already loose bathrobe slightly.
Her belly button was revealed.
Sylvar Crowe's face instantly turned bright red.
His eyes widened.
At that moment the door suddenly opened.
Lelei walked in.
She saw Rory Mercury pulling at her clothes.
Then she saw Sylvar Crowe blushing.
Sylvar Crowe thought in despair, Damn… social death.
I might as well die here.
Let the world be destroyed.
"I can explain this!" Sylvar Crowe said quickly.
"Then explain it," Lelei said calmly.
Sylvar Crowe fell silent.
His brain began spinning rapidly as he searched for a reasonable explanation.
Before he could speak, Rory Mercury opened her mouth.
"I just slept with him for one night."
She deliberately emphasized the word "just."
Hearing the noise, Tuka Luna Marceau also walked over.
She saw Rory Mercury lying on Sylvar Crowe's bed with messy clothes.
Sylvar Crowe immediately raised his hands.
"Wait! I can explain!"
Rory Mercury smiled mischievously again.
"As you can see, we just slept together last night."
Lelei and Tuka Luna Marceau both stared at Sylvar Crowe.
Their eyes clearly asked the same question.
Where is the explanation?
Sylvar Crowe hurriedly said, "When I went to sleep last night, Rory was not here. When I woke up this morning, she was suddenly in my room. You must believe me!"
Lelei and Tuka Luna Marceau thought carefully about Rory Mercury's personality.
Then they both nodded.
"I believe you."
Lelei suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right. The United Nations Security Council started the live broadcast already. You were the only one who did not attend."
Sylvar Crowe quickly seized the opportunity to change the topic.
"Rory, why don't you get off me first? We have important matters to deal with today. Stop fooling around."
"What a heartless man," Rory Mercury said with a smile. "You said exactly the same thing last night."
Sylvar Crowe's mind filled with question marks.
What exactly did I say last night?
At that moment he felt two sharp gazes behind him.
He immediately picked Rory Mercury up in a princess carry, placed her aside, grabbed his clothes, and ran into the bathroom in embarrassment.
After changing his clothes and coming out, he saw that everyone else had already finished changing.
Sylvar Crowe felt confused.
Did I take that long just to change clothes?
"After the live broadcast today, we will go catch the baby dragon," Sylvar Crowe said.
"Good. Let's finish it quickly," Rory Mercury said.
"Then we can beat up that annoying guy who wants to marry me every day."
"So I won't have to worry about him anymore."
Before leaving the hot spring hotel, Sylvar Crowe put on a suit.
He walked out of the hotel with a powerful aura.
He was trying to imitate the confident style of a famous gambling king making an appearance.
However, as soon as he stepped outside, he only heard voices around him saying:
"What are you doing?"
