Chapter 575

Rod watched the back of Seamus as he left.

He fell slightly into thought.

A spell that makes a wish to the Mana Web, or rather, to the Goddess of Magic—the 【Wish Spell】.

He remembered.

The spell resources in Cat the Cat-Fairy Witch's hand and the 【Memory Wish Stone】 were both stolen from a Professor Bahadur.

The similarity in naming.

No need to say more; it must be the same person.

Come to think of it, Rod had actually met that purple-robed professor once in the Magic Control Union, in Ona's office.

Beside.

After hearing Rod and Seamus's conversation, the heroine Gail's expression grew even more serious.

"Seamus's attitude is quite strange; his disdain and his regard for that 【Wish Spell】 coexist in contradiction."

Rod chuckled: "Not studying the laws of spell operation, but directly 'making a wish' to a higher existence—a behavior like that, I fear, would be despised by mages."

"After all, spells are just tools; fussing over these things is meaningless."

Saying this.

Gail turned her head to look at Rod and bowed very slightly:

"Since the incident has been investigated clearly, we should leave as well."

The half-deer girl Kira secretly glanced at Rod: "That eighth-tier mage will still come looking for my lord Rod; should we not stay to help?"

"Kira, didn't you see that mage was knocked down with a single move? For Mr. Rod, that person is not worth mentioning; we would only be a burden."

"Then, then, oh."

Kira drooped her high-riding deer ears in disappointment.

Rod smiled.

Thinking the half-deer girl was quite cute, he took two bracelets from his spell satchel and handed them over.

Of course, they were magic ornaments.

The spells inside were of a practical type, both featuring minor enchantments of 【Purify Food】 and 【Create Water】.

The styles were identical; the materials were crystal and sandalwood respectively.

Rod knew half-deer people did not like crystal much, so he gave the sandalwood to Kira and the crystal to Gail.

"Sister sets!"

Compared to Gail's polite but stiff thanks, Kira's excitement made Rod happier.

They chatted briefly.

He learned that Gail was an old general who had stopped at the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom.

After hearing Seamus's words, she became very serious, seeming to decide to seek the meaning of this war from within the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom and attempt to stop it.

This heroine also had a decisive and vigorous personality.

She did not even want the spoils of war; taking Kira with her, she bid farewell to Rod.

The half-deer girl Kira looked back every three steps.

Only after she could no longer see that excessively handsome and good-looking man did she finally settle down completely.

She put the sandalwood bracelet on her wrist and quietly admired it under the moonlight.

From time to time, she giggled.

The heroine Gail could not stand it anymore.

After holding it in for a while, she finally spoke: "Kira, don't tell me you've taken a liking to that Rod?"

"Eh~~ No way~~ My lord Gail, why haven't you put on your bracelet yet? Come, let's hold them together and look at them under the moonlight; they look so beautiful!"

"I don't want mine; I'll give it to you too."

Kira stopped walking and looked at her own hero lord in confusion: "Crystal can affect a half-deer's divination. My lord Gail, I remember I told you that; you didn't forget again, did you?"

Gail's steps froze.

Her gaze guiltily drifted elsewhere.

"My meaning is that I don't want Rod's things."

"Why not? My lord Rod is handsome and powerful, his personality is easygoing and gentle, and he pays attention to details... it's just that his taste in female companions isn't great; that Miss Tally is actually a succubus, hmph! Licentious! If you ask me, a good woman like my lord Gail standing by my lord Rod's side would be more appropriate!"

"What nonsense are you talking... We have many things to do; we have no time to attend to these romantic trifles."

"What about later? My lord Gail is a bit dull, with only fighting and justice in her eyes... Kira will choose a husband for you; starting today, my lord Rod is the top candidate!"

"And what about you?"

"As for Kira, wherever my lord Gail marries and goes, I'll go too, hehehe—"

Looking at the silly-smiling half-deer girl.

Gail's eyes looked strange.

She pondered for a moment and still decided to tell the truth.

"Kira, do you remember our encounter in the Kingdom of Kava before?"

"Why bring this up suddenly? Of course I remember; that bad guy who hid his identity defeated my lord Gail, not only grabbed... grabbed my chest, but also tied us up and sold us to the Fire Spirits, and even, right in front of us, was naked and did that with twenty-three female Fire Spirits..."

Saying this.

Kira's face turned flushed with anger, and she let out a fierce huff.

"That kind of bad man is not worth one finger of my lord Rod! My lord Rod could crush him flat with a single kick!"

"Um... actually, that person was Rod."

Looking at the little sister's innocent and carefree expression, as if saying, "What nonsense are you talking?"

Grey pinched the bridge of her brow. "Do you remember when we entered that Heart-Devouring Fiend's lair later? Every Heart-Devouring Fiend there was slaughtered clean, leaving only sword scars leaking with spirituality."

"I remember. It was precisely by the spirituality on those sword scars that Lady Grey advanced to the Seventh Tier."

"So you see, I'm very familiar with that person's spirituality. The spirituality on Rod is exactly the same as it."

Kira knew Grey wouldn't lie about something like this.

The expression on her face gradually shifted—from flat to horrified, and from horrified to relieved.

In the end, it even transformed from relief into a secret delight.

"In that case! It was my lord Rod who grabbed my chest!"

"."

Rod felt an inexplicable pang of melancholy.

The once-bustling mountain forest, in the blink of an eye, was left with only him and a ground full of corpses and chaos.

He wasn't in any hurry to return to the Fairy Cat Paradise.

He simply took advantage of the night to take a stroll through the woods on this side.

Absorb some growing spirituality, heal the diseased trees, that sort of thing.

He hadn't been strolling long.

Tally leapt out from the shadows.

She gazed at Rod with eyes full of tenderness, spread her arms and hugged his bear-waist, greedily absorbing his scent.

"Rested long enough?"

Rod asked in surprise.

And pushed the clingy succubus away.

This was a creature who'd open a dyeing workshop at the slightest hint of color—don't give her too pleasant a face.

"Tally kou'd once more in the shadows, all because Master's scent is too irresistible~~"

Tally wasn't angry even after being pushed away.

Delicately, she used a pair of small hands to grab Rod's index finger and pinky respectively, smiling sweetly as she swayed back and forth.

The brown leather armor on her chest had somehow come off at some unknown point.

The black long-sleeved inner lining clung tight to her body.

Her chest was stretched and deformed by the succubus's massive scale, pulling out obvious taut marks.

And below the chest was an extreme contraction, the fabric of the clothing pressed flat against her flat, firm, and slender waist and abdomen.

The visual effect was maxed out.

Rod raised an eyebrow.

Busy from last night until nightfall now, a full day and night, and it had only come twice in total.

What the super-powered pumping 【Second Heart】 paced was not only the heart alone.

His temper was gradually being stirred up by Tally.

At this moment.

【Spider Sense】 sent a ripple.

He turned his head indifferently to look—a streak of red light, under the moonlight, weaved past the trees, approaching frantically.

【Dragon Scale Art +18】 rose.

He yanked Tally behind him in one motion.
