Chapter 16: Being a Father and a Mother
Gwen and Victor stood in the doorway of the room and looked inside.
"Why did you agree? We should ask again, or wait a little longer......"
Victor glanced at her, and continued:
"Remember what you're here for."
"You're not here to sleep on vacation."
Hearing Victor's words, Gwen shook her head, and then calmed down.
But obviously, it is a bit of a ....... to live alone in one room at night
And with only one bed, it's huge.
Gwen frowned and struggled for a moment, then offered:
"I'll sleep on the ground."
Victor nodded and agreed.
"Yes."
Gwen was stunned for a moment.
Although she, as a knight, slept the same wherever she wore armor.
But Victor's reaction ......
It made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Gwen didn't understand why, and naturally there was no such thing as humility or humility in her impression.
Victor is a mage, he is more fragile than himself, and he should be allowed to sleep in his bed.
However, after a long day of travel, Gwen felt a slimy texture in his armor.
Tell the truth.
Gwen wants to take a bath.
There have been long times when she has been on a mission before, but she has been able to persevere.
Maybe it's because there is an extra man in the house this time, and she actually starts to care about whether she will smell on her body or something.
She patted her cheek, trying to shake off what she didn't have in her head.
Gwen doesn't make it hard.
The size of the hotel, and the time of day, obviously couldn't provide her with a hot bath.
But with so much sweat on your body, what should you do if you really smell like it?
She was a little tangled, and even forgot that she was still wearing a suit of armor, and she could make a sound at the slightest movement.
Victor surveyed his surroundings with his magic, but he didn't forget to set up a soundproof circle at the door.
After seeing that there was no difference in his surroundings, Victor frowned when he heard the friction of his armor colliding, and turned to see Gwen who was entangled.
She bit her fingers and looked sad.
"Why haven't you taken off your armor yet?"
Gwen squirmed a little when she heard him, her head bowed, and her cheeks flushed imperceptibly.
......
"You mean, you want to take a shower? In this kind of place? β
Victor sat in his chair and propped his forehead.
There are no cubicles, let alone ready-made bathrooms.
In the whole room, there was only a large bed, two chairs and a table.
It's so basic.
Under these conditions, Gwen actually said that she wanted to take a shower.....
"Wayward demands."
Gwen was even more embarrassed when she heard Victor's words, but she was only talking casually, and she was even going to sleep in her armor.
It's just hard to sleep on.
She's a knight, and even if she smells a little bit on her, she can just put up with it and go home.
She misses the warm bathroom and comfy bed in her home.
A bright green light lit up in front of him, and Gwen looked up to see Victor's dangling hand building a wonderful circle on the floor.
The green auras began to overlap, and the carved paths gradually reunited.
[First Order Magic: Wood Carving]
The moment the circle was formed, vines stretched out from the circle on the floor one by one, and sticks of wood sprouted out one by one.
They are automatically bundled together and combined into the shape of a bathtub.
By the way, the magic polished the exterior of the tub smooth, and it still glowed with a dark light.
Gwen blinked as she watched a tub pop up on the floor that she had been thinking about.
Victor hadn't stopped moving his hands yet.
The blue and red circles swirled and combined between his left and right hands, alternately lit up, and the air in the room became gradually hotter.
As soon as Victor's hands were closed, the two circles actually coincided with each other, forming a new formation.
Double circle?
It was the first time Gwen had seen such a high-level technique as multicasting, after all, she was not a mage.
But what does Victor want to do?
Obvious.
The air became a little moist, and the water formed out of thin air in the circle, and came into contact with the temperature of the red circle.
Almost instantly, the water temperature rises dramatically.
The hot water is like a sponge of air, and it all rolls down into the tub.
Gwen was completely stunned by the scene in front of her, blinking her eyes and feeling shocked in her heart.
"This ...... Is this magical? β
She had seen some mages before, but no one had ever been as easy as Victor.
For the first time, she felt that spells turned out to be such a convenient ability.
"If you believe me, then please."
Victor snapped his fingers as he spoke.
A small black formation also appeared on the ring on his hand, and a black curtain of mist gushed out from the circle, isolating the space where the two were located.
You can't see that side here, and you can't see it clearly from there.
Seeing Victor finish all this, Gwen suddenly sighed in her heart.
When I went out on a mission, there was a mage by my side......
Perhaps, it's really good?
She is naturally not a hypocritical person, Victor has already done this, and she has always opened the heart of justice.
Gwen then stripped off her armor and underwear and soaked in the tub.
Now she only feels full of happiness.
Vega raised her eyelids and looked at Victor who was sitting on a chair flipping through a book speechlessly, with a little disdain in her eyes.
"It's hard for me to imagine that you are wasting your mental energy just to do such a small thing."
Victor pulled out a bottle of blue potion and poured it down.
The little mana consumed just now has been replenished.
At the moment, when he is away from home, he has to be vigilant at all times to keep himself in the best shape at all times.
Putting down the empty bottle, he replied to Vega:
"You don't understand."
"Okay, I don't understand."
Vega learned from him and complained expressionlessly.
"It's the first time I've seen you care so much about a woman."
Victor shook his head, remembering Gwen, the Valkyrie in the game.
The appearance of a god blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha, even now, is still deeply imprinted in his heart.
The hardest bOSS he's ever encountered is her.
If she didn't fight her, who would want to be her opponent?
Thinking so, the sound of rustling next door reached Victor's ears.
Victor: "......."
In a way, he was a normal man.
The voice next door disturbed his mind, and the contents of the book seemed to be completely unrememberable, and for now, he just felt that his brain was very irritable.
Is it too late to set up a soundproofing spell?
Gwen will be aware of it.
It's just that....... He lowered his head.
[First Order Magic: Autosuggestion]
His eyes lit up slightly, and he finally put out the fire.
Washed Gwen poked her head out from the other side of the curtain:
"Well, I'll wash my clothes too, can you ....."
Before she could finish speaking, Victor urged the circle in his hand again.
γFirst Order Magic, Hot Windγ
A bright red magic array lit up on Gwen's side, and she glanced back, only to feel the warmth behind her.
"Thanks, I can dry ......."
Gwen twitched her head back in embarrassment.
"Whew."
Victor stared coldly, keeping the last shred of sanity in his mind.
"By the way, don't you need to take a shower?"
Gwen asked Victor on the other side.
He held his forehead with one hand, and an irritated look appeared on his face.
β...... I have wind protection magic on me, so I won't get dusty. β
"Also, if you want me to use the hot water you've soaked, then I'll go to you right now."
Victor said coldly to Gwen that he just wanted to get Gwen dressed and come out quickly.
"I'm sorry..... I got so carried away. β
Calm down, calm down.
This sentence kept echoing in Victor's head.
"I thought about it for a moment, maybe I need a bed, or the clothes I just washed will get dirty."
As if she had suddenly remembered something, Gwen made another request to Victor.
"Gwen! I'm not your parent! You hear me clearly! I can't take care of you in everything! β
......
Gwen got dressed and slept peacefully in the only big bed, as for Victor.
He sat quietly in his chair, expressionless.
He did it anyway......
He first hypnotized Gwen with magic, and then moved her to the bed with magic.
"That Gwen, it's supposed to be ruthless."
He had seen Gwen, forever indifferent to the orders given by the royal family, like a ruthless killing machine.
But now she hasn't reached that level yet.
Although she treats people coldly, she still has unnecessary feelings like an ordinary person.
She would question her boss because there was only one room left.
Even after he helped her, he carefully continued to carry what he needed to him, and he didn't dare to cross his bottom line.
When she makes a mistake, she apologizes, and her attitude is not as tough as she remembers, of course, she is indeed strong, but ......
"She's not Gwen I know."
He turned to look at the sleeping Gwen and shook his head.
But this thought remained in Victor's mind, and he could no longer scratch it out.
......
Gwen stood at the front of the queue, directing the knights' actions.
"Today we are going to the volcano to investigate, if you find any abnormalities, don't be impulsive, report in time!"
The knights looked at Gwen and felt that she had woken up with a very good spirit.
And, it's a little cleaner?
The knights didn't know what had happened last night, and Gwen had already looked at Victor beside her.
The knights seemed to have an expression like "oh~".
Victor saw that Gwen had already put his troops in order, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Victor, where are you going?"
"We can escort you to the designated location, or you can just follow the Knights."
"No, you don't."
Victor raised an eyebrow and looked at the silent volcano in the distance.
He knew that there was a huge monster in the silence here, and his mood was a mixture of heaviness and excitement.
"I'll be separated from you for the time being."
