Lathel frowned: “What do you mean?”
“It’s very easy to understand…” Lusha put down the teacup in her hand, pointed her index finger straight at Lathel, smiled, and said: “I want you to go out with me for a day. Not only will I tell you what happened to Nina, and to the Yordles, but I can also save her.”
“I agree!” Lathel immediately spoke up.
“Heh?! Won’t you refuse?” Lusha felt strange, tilted her head, and asked: “I see you constantly refusing and keeping your distance from Lilith, Claire, Malina, and even Amleth, but you don’t do that to me?”
“To save Nina and the Yordles, I don’t need to think. Besides… just going out or going on a date doesn’t mean I’m going to hell with you.” Lathel said firmly.
However, that was only part of his thinking. According to Lathel’s opinion, Lusha seems to be neither a female protagonist nor an antagonist.
She is just like him—a supporting character. Therefore, even if they slept together, there would be no problem.
Besides… he really wanted to know what happened to the Yordles, and he also wanted to save Nina.
Currently, he cannot contact Lilith, and there is no way to save Nina while she is only one step away from death.
If Lusha has a way to save Nina, then Lusha’s conditions are not difficult; besides, they are even beneficial for him.
“Hm… It looks like you’re not wary of me at all, right?” Lusha pouted, rubbed her chin, and said.
“Okay, I agree. Please… save Nina first.” Lathel hastily bowed his head as he spoke.
Lusha heard that and frowned: “For the sake of a Yordle, you bow your head to others like this? How cowardly…”
Lathel sighed: “Even being a coward is fine, I just want to save her.”
Lusha opened her mouth to say something, but the thousands of words eventually turned into a smile: “Huh! Good…”
She took out a small bottle, then from the space bag took out a small arm, which was Nina’s arm that was bitten off by that crazy dog.
Lusha placed her arm on top of the tray, then swung her arm up. From her fingertips flowed very thin threads like spider silk.
Those threads quickly connected the severed arm to the rest like a magic trick.
Lusha gently pulled her hand, and the severed arm was immediately reattached. Then, she opened the lid of the jar and poured some clear liquid from it into the threads.
The water falling on the silk threads did not continue to fall but instead drifted along the silk threads, entering Nina’s body.
At this time, countless silk threads appeared from Nina’s body, connecting the wounds. After being repaired, the wounds quickly recovered.
In just twenty minutes, Nina recovered to normal without any injuries.
Lathel saw the scene that had just happened and opened his eyes wide, his face filled with disbelief.
He knew Lusha could definitely save Nina, however, he didn’t think he could see such a miraculous method like this.
Lusha was like a string artist, as her silk threads could connect the blood vessels, bones, and even the smallest tissues in Nina’s body.
“Done!” Lusha smiled and said: “She will wake up soon.”
“Thank you, Lusha.” Lathel said smiling.
Lusha shook her head: “There’s no need to thank me; I’m just fulfilling the contract between us.”
“Stop!” Suddenly Lathel shouted, making Lusha a little startled: “I need to thank you. I know your conditions are so simple because you want to help me, right?”
Lathel said so because he believed that Lusha was a good person. She didn’t want him to be embarrassed for accepting her help, so she gave him such a simple condition.
“Why do you say that?” Lusha smiled incomprehensibly.
“Because I don’t think I’m handsome enough to make you help me if I just hang out with you for a day.”
“Lusha, I am truly grateful for what you did today. If you need my help in the future, please speak up; I will definitely try to help you.”
Lusha opened her eyes wide and looked at him. But then, she laughed loudly: “Hahahaha… hahahahaha… Lathel… You are so interesting… hahaha…”
Lathel looked at Lusha in confusion.
Lusha tried to control herself; she then looked at him and said: “Good, you can think like that. I hope when I need your help, you won’t refuse.”
“Of course.” Lathel smiled and replied: “Even though I am very weak, I don’t break promises.”
Lusha smiled: “Of course I trust you.”
“But…” Suddenly, Lathel changed her voice: “I want to know what happened to the Yordles and Nina.”
His voice suddenly became extremely serious. Lusha didn’t say much; she waved her index finger, and a thread appeared and was stabbed into the middle of Nina’s forehead.
“Don’t resist.” Lusha spoke up.
When Lathel heard that, Lusha also inserted the other end of the silk thread into the middle of his forehead.
As the thread connecting Lathel and Nina’s foreheads formed, Lusha muttered magic incantations.
A magic circle appeared, then disintegrated into countless particles of light. Those particles of light merged into that thin thread.
Lathel suddenly frowned as countless memories appeared in his mind. Those memories seemed to belong to someone else, but they appeared in his mind.
‘This is… Nina’s memory…’
Lathel thought to himself, but then… he clenched his hands so tightly that they turned white.
A moment later, the thin thread disappeared, and Lathel opened his eyes.
His eyes were now filled with murderous intent and anger, as if he were a barrel of dynamite that would explode with just one spark.
The maid standing next to him was also startled when she saw how angry he was, as this was the first time she had seen the Young Master so angry.
‘What exactly happened to make Young Master so angry?’
“Alec… Harris…” Lathel muttered.
At this moment, countless system notifications appeared in front of him.
[Ding! Discovering that the owner intends to harm the male protagonists, Alec and Harris, please withdraw your thoughts.]
[Ding! Discovering that the owner intends to harm the male protagonists, Alec and Harris, please withdraw your thoughts.]
[Ding! Discovering that the owner intends to harm the male protagonists, Alec and Harris, please withdraw your thoughts.]
…
Lathel didn’t pay attention to the system’s notifications. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
He looked towards Lusha, bowed his head, and said: “Thank you, Lusha. However, today I have something to deal with, so I can’t talk to you much.”
Lusha, of course, knew what Lathel was planning to do, she shrugged and said: “Don’t worry, you can solve your problem first, I’ll see you later.”
Having finished speaking, she stood up and immediately left. However, when she exited the castle, she suddenly grinned in an interesting way.
“Interesting, it seems… Lathel is more interesting than I thought. Hahahaha… Tomorrow’s article will probably be very interesting.”
“Ah! It’s worth looking forward to…”
…
In the living room, Lathel frowned and asked, “Where are Alec and Harris now?”
The maid bowed her head and said: “Young master, they are currently participating in the third round of exams at Karol Magic Academy.”
“Let’s go to the magic academy.”
“Yes.” The maid didn’t dare say anything more because Lathel’s expression was extremely scary and filled with murderous intent.
Approaching the carriage, Lilith saw Lathel and shouted: “Lathel… heh?!”
Lilith immediately fell silent because Lathel’s face was too scary right now. Lathel was so angry that the negative emotions he was containing wanted to erupt.
“You… Lathel, is something wrong?” Lilith asked worriedly; this was the first time she had seen Lathel with such a strange expression.
Lathel looked at Lilith and asked softly: “Lilith, if Alec and I fight, who will you protect?” .𝒎
Lilith was startled when she heard Lathel’s words. She knew something was wrong. However, Lilith still smiled very confidently: “Of course I will protect you.”
“Lathel, do whatever you want. Even if this sky falls, I can still support it for you.”
“Trust me.”
Lathel heard that and nodded slightly. He then entered the car compartment. Seeing that, Lilith did not bother him and sat outside, next to the maid driving the carriage.
Lathel sat in the carriage and looked at the bulletin board, which continuously appeared with countless notifications, advising him not to harm the main character.
“It seems… Harris, like Alec, is a male lead. However…” Lathel muttered, his voice extremely cold: “The system… has many problems I need to solve.”
“At this point, I don’t care whether they are the male protagonist or the villain.”
“I just want justice for the dead Yordles, justice for Nina.”
[Ding! If you harm the male protagonist, you will be punished; death awaits you.]
“I am not the male lead, nor am I an honest person. I am a coward, afraid of death, greedy, and fond of beautiful women…”
“However… there are some things that, even if the sky falls or I face death… I still need to do.”
“System! Use the ‘Isolation’ function.”
[Ding! Used ‘Isolation’ function successfully.]
[Ding! The system detects a bug, starts shutting down to fix the bug.]
[Ding! Entering downtime to fix bugs.]
After that… no other notifications appeared. Lathel also did not know what happened to the system; however, he did not care.
“Cauldron, do you have enough energy to function now?”
Cauldron sighed: “Even though I don’t know what you plan to do, however, I can only say that I have enough energy to help you for a short time.”
“That is enough!” Lathel frowned and said: “Cauldron, if I die, I hope you can find a better friend.”
“Do not speak like that. You have been the best person to ever accompany me.”
“Thank you, Cauldron.” Lathel sighed and said.
In his heart, he thought of Anna. However, she was still in the cocoon, and besides… even if he wanted to chase her away, she probably wouldn’t accept it.
Lathel took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but he couldn’t calm down.
“Alec… Harris… Today, I will teach you a lesson.”
