Chapter Seventy-Five: Sissi's Charm (I)
I don't know how far I flew, but with a will not to give up, Ulysses took Sissi all the way south.
As the sun sets, the humid sea breeze whips up layers of waves crashing against the reef, and here we have reached the end of the land, and beyond that is the endless ocean.
"At this point, there shouldn't be any problem. Ulysses put down Sissi in his hand, and leaned on the edge of a huge rock, somewhat tired.
Looking at the past, you can see that there are lights not far away, which means that the two have left the sparsely populated area and come to the place covered by human civilization.
The tallest building in the village by the sea has a white cross on it, indicating that this is a village where the supreme god is worshipped.
"Are you tired?" Sissi stretched out her fingers to caress Ulysses's forehead, green hair hanging down his cheeks with a silky gentle touch.
"Haha, it's a little bit. Although he was able to dismantle the secret method as quickly as possible after escaping from the Ritual Serpent, Ulysses, who was using the "Freedom Doll" for the first time in actual combat, did have a lot of energy overdrawn.
It was a miracle that he could insist on bringing Sissi here. It seems that his current body is far more durable than he imagined, and it is no longer the tragic constitution of the past that can do nothing after an outburst.
After choosing the path of the Demon King, it was really different from before.
"Do you want me to go to that village and help you find a sacrifice to replenish your magic power?" Sissi pointed to the village not far away, with her ability, she only needed to go in and take a turn, and she could immediately find a whole group of girls who were willing to sacrifice their lives for Ulysses.
"No...... Wait, who taught you this!" Ulysses flatly refused, and then found a terrible question - how did Sissi know what he needed to replenish his demons.
"It was a friend named Aya who taught me a lot of common sense and gave me underwear. Sissi replied as a matter of course.
"The demon...... Sissi, don't be taught bad by her!" Ulysses has a deep understanding of Aya's love for people.
"yes, I don't think she's lying, you need to replenish your magic. Sissi helped Ulysses to his feet, apparently seeing through his outwardly strong and middle-class nature.
It is impossible not to pay the price for such a crazy flight that spares no effort to smash all the steel peaks created by the sacrificial snake in one blow, and it is difficult for this exhausted body to continue walking.
"It's okay, at this level, it's good to rest for a day or two. Ulysses wasn't lying. Although it was true that he had lost a lot of money by escaping all the way here, he hadn't really fought the Ritual Serpent after all, and he hadn't reached the end of his rope yet.
So, just take a normal rest, and don't need that special way of replenishing your mana.
"You're welcome, thank you for keeping me like this, that's my return gift. Sissi lowered her head and kissed Ulysses on the forehead.
A tender feeling swept over Ulysses, instinct telling him that it was not something harmful to him, but some gentle ritual of comforting his body and mind, and he slept peacefully under the attack of exhaustion.
"So, it's time for us to perform. Sissi, who had given Ulysses a good night's sleep, clapped her hands and summoned her men.
"Ahhh
"Lalala"
"Hey!"
Cheerful and charming figures appeared one after another around Sissi, about a third of them had a beautiful human girl form, and the other was a hazy mist form.
"The first step, then, is to conquer that village. Sissi's eyes flashed with wings flying.
............ The next day, Ulysses, who had slept soundly, woke up from his sleep and stretched out with a sigh of breath.
My body was a little sluggish and a little sore, but it was normal, and I flew too hard yesterday. This natural sequelae of fatigue will disappear automatically after a day or two, so don't worry about it.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
Ulysses rubbed his eyes and saw a whole group of girls dressed as maids looking at him politely at his bedside.
"Please let me dress you. ”
"Please let me fix your hair. ”
"Please let me wash your feet. ”
"Please come to the lobby and eat. ”
After a series of regular servings like a cloud of peers, Ulysses, who had not yet figured out what was happening, put on a suit of aristocratic dresses that had been cut to perfection, and was led to a hall with a long table surrounded by many lovely maids.
Although the furnishings are not luxurious, the hall is full of warmth, and every corner is cleaned, and the wood-grained table top reflects a thin soft light under the magic lamp on the roof.
The food on the table is freshly fried bacon and poached eggs, as well as fresh goat's milk, accompanied by a dark wine next to it, giving it a simple but appetizing feeling.
"How's it going, are you satisfied?" On the other side of the table, Sissi took a knife and fork, leisurely dismantled a piece of pizza, and then enjoyed biting down.
"Uh...... Sissi, where are we now?" Ulysses would have thought he was back in the group if he hadn't made sure that the maids around him were all fresh faces.
"The people in the village were welcoming and willing to accommodate us. Sissi said seriously.
Ulysses looked at the girls in maid clothes around him, they did not have the outstanding appearance and temperament of the elite maids of the Radiant Academy expedition, but they were more energetic.
The curious eyes and the free and cheerful expressions are like birds flying freely on the seashore, which has a different kind of charm.
"Look, we're looking at us. ”
"Such a beautiful man, it's a prince. ”
"Well, it must be, that's why I deserve such a beautiful person. ”
"I'll tell you a secret, I saw it, when I changed my clothes just now, ......"
The cheerful exchange of pretty and lovely maids made Ulysses sweat profusely, and their self-righteous whispers of conversation were impossible for him not to hear.
Could there be so many maids in an ordinary seaside village?, Ulysses wondered, biting on a poached egg.
The neat and uniform decoration, the movements that are not jerky, and the pleasant working attitude make her an excellent maid no matter how you look at it. However, it always felt that something was wrong.
Under the sunshine and the whispers of the maids, this small seaside village ushered in a new day with a little difference.
