After swallowing an entire feast, Lennox took a bath and slept like there is no tomorrow. Everly waited for him to wake up but soon lost her patience. Once afternoon arrived she jumped on the bed and kicked him out of it, her face had a cute frown and puffed cheeks.
" wake up, stupid Lennox!!! Bo is waiting!! Stop sleeping, or else you will turn to a cow! "
Lennox rolled out of the bed and fell nimbly on the cold floor. He didn't open his eyes nor made any movements, if anyone saw him they would instantly say he looked like a corpse. Lennox's plan of [she might leave me be if I play dead] for some reason didn't work.
Seeing that he wasn't moving, Everly kicked the bed and jumped towards him, aiming all her weight on his abdomen. Instinctively, Lennox sensed the danger of becoming impotent so he quickly opened his eyes and rolled aside, just milliseconds before she hit the floor.
Lennox laid there dumbstruck. The marble under Everly's feet was crushed to powder, imagine his family sword laying there!!
Seeing him wide awake, Everly smiled innocently, saying with a cheerful voice:" you are awake! Good, quickly get ready I will tell gramps to prepare a carriage for us "
She threw this sentence before walking out of their chamber with light steps. While Lennox just sat there stupefied.
' I hate her.....'
An hour later, they were ready to depart. This time, the steward offered Lennox a pair of sunglasses so he would walk around with closed eyes. Thus, he was now able to see the so-called chief residence and it would have been better if he didn't.
The internal furniture and decoration were the same theme as Bernard's mansion in the imperial capital, classic with a hint of a beast's fierceness. The external structure was also the same, a splendid garden with many jasmine flowers blooming around the entire building and a wide training arena made of must solid and expansive materials. Only one thing was out of place....
" WHO THE FUCK PAINTED THESE WALLS?!!! "
Lennox's eyes almost broke out of the glasses. The fine and elegant demeanour that is expected to be around this mansion was completely destroyed by the pink and blue colours that were randomly splashed on the walls.
Upon hearing that question, Everly quickly raised her hand exclaiming " That's me! That's me! ". She crossed her arms, puffed her chest, looking very proud.
" hehehe. I did that myself, a piece of art isn't it?
" Art my ass!! Why does it look like some chickens ran all over it?! "
" *gasp! How did you know I did that? "
"....."
Good thing he was already dead, otherwise, who knows how many years of his life span would he lose over this brat?
Lennox and Everly entered the carriage and headed to the tallest magic tower at the centre of the village. Elves are the most advanced race in the magical aspects, so naturally, their carriages weren't dragged by horses, instead had a mana system moving them. Which gave Lennox enough space to lay down and chill.
Along the way, Everly kept blabbering nonsense and useless information. Like- who wants to know that one of her neighbours in Saka town had a rabbit-shaped scar on his arm??
Does he give a fuck???
Not long after, they reached the outer gates of the magic tower. The distance between the tower and the chief's residence wasn't that far. However, Everly can't just jump on the roofs and destroy gates, can she? At least to save Bernard a bit of face, she decided to take the carriage and enter the tower like a normal person.
After passing by the outer gates, the carriage stopped at the tower entrance where four people came to escort them. Clearly, they are giving her VIP treatment. All of them were fourth stage elementalists except for the one in lead that was in his sixth stage. Lennox recognized his strength from the first glance, he kept staring at the man almost boring a hole in his head.
The man at lead felt Lennox's gaze, instantly breaking in cold sweat. There were no pheromones, but being stared at by a honourable being creates a huge pressure, even someone that reached his sixth stage felt like a useless insect in front of actual power.
Only when they stepped out of the platform, that worked like an elevator taking them to the highest level of the tower, did Lennox withdraw his gaze off him. Making a note in his mind to kidnap this dude before leaving the village.
Everly, who has been watching this from the side, tightened her grip on Lennox's hand. She already knew that Lennox is easily lured by strong and weird individuals, but that's HER Lennox!
She bit down on her lip and said nothing. They followed the man until he stopped in front of a large door, he knocked on the door, saying respectfully.
" Head master, young lady Maitea and the esteemed guest had arrived "
" Let them in "
A deep voice with traces of elegance came from the inside. The man who guided them stepped aside and opened the door for both of them, he bowed gesturing for them to enter.
Everly cast him a sideway glance before pulling Lennox inside.
In the room, four people. One young and handsome man, one middle-aged woman, one old man, and one extremely old man...
Upon seeing the young man, Everly instantly lit up and went to hug his waist.
" Za! Maitea missed you! "
" I missed the young lady too "
Zahid Elnar. the tower master and a descendant of an elf's noble bloodline, also Bernard's second disciple.
The old man cupped his hands slightly bowing, he greeted her, along with the middle-aged woman.
" Young lady Maitea, you seem to be well "
" Greetings, young lady Maitea "
Everly formed a wide smile, revealing her row of white small teeth as she responded to them.
" Hello, Ram! Hello Lala! Hello, very old gramps Bo! "
Lennox:"...."
' am I the only one with a normal name?? '
