Chapter 115: No Longer Alone (Part II)
"Oh?" said Gwen thought her mom would be hiding somewhere in the yard, wondering where Helen had gone at lunch.
"Hu is a good man," Richard added when he saw Gwen's expression. "Your mom will be safe and happy with him. He's confident and assertive, and I think Helena needs someone like that to keep her in order. Let me tell you, everything I hear and see in the registry will make it impossible for me to hear a woman's voice for a long time. ”
"How bad is it?" asked Gwen, feeling that her cousin's outspokenness had struck her conscience.
A servant brought them an oolong with a delicate little purple sand tea set.
"Thank you. Gwen took the tray from the servant and told the young man to repeat it. He saw them sitting in the hall, just doing what was expected. Where the mage and Nome interact, politeness and appreciation are impossible.
Richard observes Gwen's unconscious gestures and wonders why so many talented people feel so close to Noam.
"How bad do you say?" said Richard, making an expression that resembled a racking of his brains. "Give you some background. Your mother has been worried about her passport since that incident and is even a little obsessed. She tried to get some connections with Suara and even asked him to contact Maggs Schultz. When your grandfather did what you expected and completely ignored her, she became unbearable. We all walked around like a mine, and this mine seemed to smoke her even more. ”
"I'm sorry, Richard. Gwen sighed apologetically.
"Well, in the end the fabricator Hu contacted his family and managed to get them to line up to go to the immigration registry for an interview. We were in the machining center, my parents, your mother, Percy and Hu, and that's when the men of Mags Song discovered us. ”
Gwen listened intently to the explosive orgasm.
"First of all, Helena was scared when those people approached her. When they showed her their MSS company ID and told her they were going to take Percy, her face turned completely pale. I guess those poor bastards, yes? Junger, made a terrible mistake. ”
What did they do?, Gwen asked curiously.
"They mentioned that your father was already in Shanghai and that he would contact her. ”
"Oh no, they didn't!"
"Oh yes, they did!" Richard chuckled, his expression mixed with pain and laughter. "Your mom is crazy. Shit. It's like a sonic attack! Every pair of eyes in the center has nearly a thousand people staring at us. She's about to gouge their faces out!"
Gwen grimaced and pulled her face back with a cringe-inducing expression on her face.
"Then Judge Scholz's men came out of nowhere. They confronted Song's men on behalf of Helena. ”
"Is it going well?"
Richard chuckled softly on the edge of his saneness.
"Okay? Imagine Gwen, you're trying to avoid a public place. However, every word you want to say, there will be a loud wail that seems to drown out all the sounds. Every time. Every time the two parties make a compromise, there is another sharp voice. I'm sure at some point, either of these two would rather kill your mother there and fucking suffer the consequences. ”
"I'm sorry," Gwen groaned, trying to dispel the illusion in her mind. Just trying to imagine the scene, her brain swelled up and made her feel like it had turned into a violent migraine.
"So after the fourth or fifth hiatus, I can't remember. Mags Song and Schultz's men abandoned the negotiations and simply called the boss so they could talk privately. ”
Richard glared and looked into the middle distance, as if he saw Ansel. He shook his head after a few more minutes of pain. "Well, I'm glad it's over. ”
"How are Aunt Tang and Uncle Tang?"
"It's a good relationship with Surya, me or us – now we're together and need to move fast. As I mentioned earlier, the amount of donations. ”
Gwen reached out and took her cousin's hand. They felt her hands were stiff and cold.
"It's okay, Richard. I will help you in any way I can. Let's go together. Oh my God, your hands are freezing!"
"A little nervous," Richard smiled nervously. "You know, I've wanted to be in a first-class city all my life, and now that I'm here, it feels like a dream. ”
"You'll get used to it," Gwen agreed. "Say, do you need money? I just made a lot of money. ”
"Oh, you've already done some tasks?"
"Hee," Gwen smiled slyly. "I got it from running away from some rich boys in an underground battle game. ”
"You didn't!" Richard's face turned into a jumbled with fright, and he burst out laughing. "Great! Haha! You're so nice, Gwen. Oh, you'll have to tell me all the details! How do the mages measure?"
Gwen explains the match with a story, detailing the affinity of the mages she met and what she's seen in Shanghai so far.
Richard gasped.
"Heck, there was nothing more powerful than us back then, at least at our age and level. He seemed very relieved. "This is similar to the upper echelons of the prince's family, the members of the fourth room. ”
Gwen's ears perked up at the mention of the prince.
"You know what, why did you leave the prince's house? It can't be just because of the money, right?"
Richard took a deep breath and hung his shoulders.
"It's a matter of loyalty. He bit his lip. "When I was elected to the Fourth House, and even appointed Governor, I found that in order to be elected to the First Rank Branch, I must first declare my allegiance to a noble family in the Commonwealth! ”
"Essentially, it's indentured servitude! I've been a family mage for ten years! Besides, as a general Latour, a deputy sergeant, I'll never enter the inner circle of the upper class. If so, what's the point? Why waste my time? I'd rather be a freelance mage. ”
"I don't know what those words mean, but I will support your decision, whatever it is. Gwen stroked her cousin's arm, glad he had chosen to risk his life in Shanghai.
She leaned over and hugged him.
"Thanks, Gwen. I'm grateful. ”
"Oh yes, and with that, did you bring a lot of luggage?" Gwen pointed to her storage ring. "Which room is yours?"
Not surprisingly, Richard lived in her own room, in the training hall. Also, Percy lives in the main building of the house and has a bedroom with an ensuite and a separate living room, which is not surprising to either of them. It's Tao's room, but Rascali's hip-hop artist hates staying at Guo's quarters, saying he prefers to defend himself rather than constantly listen to Guo's speeches.
"Anyway, let me talk to Pabloa, we need some serious necessities, trust me. Those rooms would have ruined us. ”
"I'm in your careful hands. Richard's eyes wrinkled and he smiled from ear to ear From now on, I am a watchman, and you are my sweetheart. ”
Gwen leaned back and forth with a smile until she was stitched, and when she recovered, she hooked her arm around Richard's arm.
"Okay! Let's ask Pabria for permission. ”
The two found their Bableia sitting in the master suite, sitting with Guo with a cup of tea. Gwen and Richard stopped at the door and knocked politely.
"Come in, my dear," Klavdia invited them into the lounge, next door to the master bedroom and Guo Jingming's secret room.
"Pabloa, can Richard and I go out and buy some necessities? I want to buy some linen and some ...... Feminine products. ”
When Gwen mentioned the latter, Guo's gaze glazed over.
"Well, I can bring that business car with me. ”
"Thank you. ”
The two of them bowed and walked away.
Kravdia turned to Guo. Underneath her teacup and saucer is an envelope containing data on her morning hike.
"Are you so determined?"
Guo's face was iron-blue.
"My decision is final!"
Cravdia frowned, eyes fixed on Gwen as she walked through the central courtyard as an older boy walked through it.
"You men and your legacy," she scoffed, her criticism lingering in the air. "You know, there's no regret pill. ”
Guo didn't say anything. Instead, he got up from his chair and walked to the study.
Kravdia shook her head, letting her disappointment slowly dissipate.
"What a waste," she said to herself, too arrogant. ”
By the time Gwen and Richard returned home for dinner, they had already dropped 100 HDM companies, and Gwen's storage ring was flooded with magical glyphs to cool, heat, and circulate air. She further purchased a dozen amenities she never knew existed, such as a one-time crystal engraving, which allows for small but complex magic, such as pre-deformation when doing laundry.
Over the next few hours or so, they installed new lamps, wardrobes, bedside tables, new beds, and several valuable linen sheets in the humble rooms of the training hall, woven with soft linen silk, supposedly extracted from a wild moth.
Gwen gives Richard a small storage ring, which he lost when he left the prince, as well as the mana, healing, healing, and poison that Gwen left behind during his travels in Singapore.
While compiling through her list, she further discovers that she has a movable habitat that Gwen needs to return to Gunther as soon as it belongs to the Melbourne Tower. However, her intention is to use it for as long as possible. Despite the cost of an HDM company, 12 hours, she can own a villa with a working kitchen and shower where she can show up.
When night falls, Gwen and Richard go into further detail about their skills and abilities, and find ways to improve their synergies when needed. When Gwen confesses her current talent and intimacy to Richard, his face turns into a draped mask of amazement.
"Oh yes!" Richard suddenly woke up. He left the room and returned a few seconds later with some papers.
"Really?"
Richard coughed.
"Gwen Song, congratulations on graduating from Blackwater Bay. These are the certificates for your successful completion of upper secondary education and elementary magical compulsory education. I'm so proud of you. From this path, you are a real world person!"
Without saying a word, Gwen took the certificates and placed them safely in the ring.
"Thank you, Richard. ”
Looking at his indifferent face, a sense of mischief suddenly enveloped Gwen, who hoped to repay Richard for his earlier performance.
"Caliban!"
A hell spider demon from the depths of an elderly God's madly chaotic mind emerges from a rift in time and space.
"Our Lady of Jesus!" Lee felt every hair on his body stand on end.
Without warning, a stream of water jumped out of his body and burst out of a frothy stream, engulfing Gwen and Kaliban in a stream of salty salt water.
Gwen ordered Kaliban to follow, and the ragged mistress and monster sat there, regretting their ridiculous decision.
She forgot that Richard had a harmonious spirit.
Leah was still beautiful and ethereal, her transparent face delicately sculpted, dark blue eyes and a high, ridged nose. Strings of waterfalls, flowing like waterfalls over her head, accompanied by the murmuring of crystal clear mountain streams. The transparent body of the lingerie was as shameful as Gwen recalled, because her translucent navy blue dress did not give any imagination.
"I beg your pardon," Leah apologized on and off, gathering as much wayward water as she could. "You surprise me, that's it. ”
"No, no, it's my fault. Gwen waved her hand at her chest. She turned some of the crystal carvings she had previously purchased into physical objects.
"!"
Moisture is expelled from the sheets and fabrics, and the fabric dries quickly within a radius of one meter.
"Purify!"
The scent of freshly washed sheets filled the room again.
Two aragonites darken and die, needing to be replenished from mana crystals.
"Great!" Gwen chuckled happily. It is a convenience that only single women can appreciate to the maximum. Goodbye, housework, goodbye laundry day!
"Gwen, I know you're rich now," Richard said coldly, feeling his clothes dry. "But you just spent 8 LD companies. Let you know that it doesn't cost anything to ask the servants to change your bed sheets for you. ”
Gwen stuck out her tongue playfully.
Next to them, Caliban mimicked waving its multiple tongues.
"Shah, Shah!"
Leah floated across the water, stroking the nightmarish spider.
"It's grown," Leah commented as she patted Caliban's carapace, giggling as she tasted her with her tongue. "It feels stronger than its serpentine form. ”
"Yes, a lot has happened," Gwen replied.
Leah coiled around Gwen and inhaled her scent.
"I can still smell the mana in you, the old one," she said. "It's so old and I love it. ”
Gwen poured Amurji's mana particles into her hand, her fingertips glowing with a soft green glow.
Leah suddenly put Gwen's finger into her pale blue lips and sucked.
The eyes of the two young mages were as round as eggs, and their faces turned into crimson beetroots with each other.
"We're leaving!" Richard got up from his bed and left the room.
"No ......" Leah left the room and was taken away by a blushing Richard. Unless Richard officially demonstrates his summoning familiarity, his humanoid familiarity cannot pass beyond a few meters of the body.
Gwen giggled, not called Kaliban.
She groaned and slipped into her soft, luxurious two thousand sheets, made of silk shot by ten thousand wild bugs.
So good. Gwen thanked the gods of Manchester. She lifted the new duvet and snuggled up on the cocoon-like bed.
Tomorrow is another adventure.
Tomorrow, they will go to Hengsha Island with Mina and Tao, as well as this "monster" Petra.
She is no longer alone.
