Chapter 558: Magic Adaptation

The witch Dimia didn't notice the two's secret intimacy.

Just as Sharon used the aether within her body to resist the new magic power, the witch, who possessed magical internal organs, was clearly also going through an adaptation period.

She seemed to gradually have trouble standing steady, swaying unsteadily.

Her cheeks also flushed red from the effect of the magic power.

Sharon noticed and couldn't help but feel anxious.

She pulled her over in one swift motion, and they squeezed together into Rod's embrace.

"Quick, use your domain to heal her too!"

"Leave it to me."

Rod didn't think much of it and pressed the young witch lady into his embrace as well.

Dimia was dazed and groggy, seemingly unaware of anything.

She only felt a scalding furnace surrounding her, and as long as she kept pressing closer, the strange magic power within her body would be soothed.

Naturally, she buried her face and chest into Rod's embrace.

Even unconsciously, she nudged Sharon aside a little.

The witch lady's body was even softer than Sharon's.

Because the two girls' reactions were a bit too much.

Rod was just about to check on the other mage girls' conditions through the 【Far Speech Chain】.

The elf Lady Caliste had already posted a notification in the most populated group chat.

The specific content explained the situation of the Magic Veil, and also put forth a guess about a certain mageweb creator ascending to godhood.

After a brief explanation.

She also added a little trick for quickly adapting to the new type of magic power.

Rod looked through the girls' messages.

He discovered that aside from the witch in his arms and the dog-kin.

The other mage girls in the 【Far Speech Chain】 were at most slightly dizzy, and adapted after a short while.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Looks like it's because of the magical internal organs and aetheric energy."

Rod slightly increased the strength of his embrace.

He also took the chance to praise Lady Caliste a few times in the 【Far Speech Chain】.

【Rod: Truly worthy of you, Caliste. You found the solution in the blink of an eye.】

【Caliste: Hmph.】

The elf lady replied with just one word, very coldly.

Rod laughed.

Caliste's daytime and nighttime seemed like two completely different personalities.

For over a month in a row, every other night she had Rod go catch frogs again.

Lying in bed with her eyes tightly shut, the humming sounds from her throat were soft and delicate.

But as soon as they met during the day.

She would put on an unbearably cold face, and during every spell class she would speak coldly and sarcastically, as if Rod owed her millions.

He could only say that Rod later rationalized it to himself.

The dom-sub elf lady stimulated him in this way so that he would 'love' her tenderly at night.

Whether that was the case or not.

Anyway, that was what Rod believed.

【Rod: If your reaction is too strong, you can come find me. My domain can provide some relief.】

【Tally: Me! Me! I feel unwell! I'm dizzy and feverish! I feel like I'm about to die! Come save me, Master~~~】

Because he wanted to prevent this succubus from idling around all day trying to seduce him.

Rod arranged for her to go plant trees and expand the forest together with the tree spirit Vivian and the half-deer Miss Xiao Ke.

【Ghoul Pan Ni: Senior Tally, you're not even a mage, so what's wrong with you? I'm the one who's uncomfortable! Master, my chest feels so hot.】

【Land Naga Eve: @Caliste, can the ancestral spirit lineage's land naga priestesses use this trick? My mother seems to be feeling a bit unwell.】

【Arachne Elf Watching Yuna: Miss Caliste, the Tu Mu Fa mages rebuilding Coral Bay have also shown discomfort. May I ask if this can be shared externally?】

【Caliste: All of you can.】

The group chat immediately livened up, pushing those two attention-seeking messages from earlier off the screen.

Although the girls usually chatted in there frequently.

Because of the god-ascension incident, it even blew up the chat and forced out the two perennial lurkers, the zombie Selina and the tiefling Sciel.

Rod healed the girls in his arms while chipping in a few words in the group chat.

Before long.

The witch Dimia's condition gradually stabilized, and the strange flush on her skin faded.

She let out a soft moan and came to her senses.

Then she discovered that she was being held in Rod's embrace, and that she herself was also tightly gripping his chest and waist with both hands.

And right beside her was her good bestie Sharon, also held in his embrace, looking at her with concern.

With a whoosh, Dimia's face instantly turned completely red again.

She flustered out of his embrace.

"S-sorry! Mr. Rod! Sharon, please don't misunderstand! I absolutely didn't mean it that way! I would never come between you two..."

Rod laughed: "What are you talking about? Mistral's ascension to godhood caused the magic fluctuations. You were confused, so we helped treat you. You forgot?"

This statement was far too much like a thief crying "Stop thief!"

Unlike Rod's carefree manner.

Sharon paused for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking, and stared blankly at her witch best friend.

Dimia, feeling guilty, averted her gaze, gritted her teeth, and took a few steps back.

"By the way, Mr. Rod, Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo said the mental state of the half-goat Miss Ainala in the underground prison is very poor and asked you to go there. Alright, there are still some bandit dens in the south that haven't been cleared, so I'm leaving first!"

"Mm, I know. You should rest a bit more? There's still room in my arms."

A certain Forester was chatting on the 【Chain of Far-Reach】 while also chatting in reality, unintentionally voicing a certain outrageous opinion.

"No, no! Sharon, you don't need to keep me company. Just spend some time with Rod!"

As expected.

Dimia, panicked and at a loss, hurriedly left with her Wendigo guards.

Watching her departing back.

Sharon looked up at him coldly and pinched his waist hard with her right hand.

Then she kicked him away.

"'There's still room in my arms'? Am I dead?"

"I mean treatment, you know."

"Did you do something to Dimia?"

"Not yet."

"Yet?"

Rod knew that continuing this topic might not be good.

So he changed the subject: "I'm going to check the underground prison. Want to come?"

"No!"

"Come on, I want to spend more time with you."

One can only say Sharon is truly like a dog; she is indeed easy to coax.

Upon hearing this, her expression softened.

Her tail started wagging left and right again.

She walked over proactively and rubbed her head against Rod's shoulder.

"Give me your hand. I want to bite! Bite you to death!"

"Alright, alright, alright."

Soon.

Rod and Sharon moved to the underground prison of Shi Ying Town.

Still damp, cramped, and dim.

Just the rows of cold steel cells and a series of torture instruments covered in dried blood were enough to make one feel the oppression and cruelty here.

This place was originally a secret base built single-handedly by the Tooth Fairy fairy Rosalia, and even the personnel inside were her Tooth Fairy kin.

Rosalia chose to join the 【Wind of Shadow-Hunters】 team in the capital of Aethelorn to pursue the truth behind the Great Fairy Massacre.

She left this group of personnel behind.

But there was probably also the thought of finding a job for these kin.

"My lord Rod!"

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo was a Tooth Fairy who looked more like a fairy.

She fluttered her wings, which were filled with glowing particles.

Her beaming face was covered in large patches of red blood, and in her arms she held an excessively large, pitch-black, cold tooth-extraction pliers.
