When they stood in the library, Lily hesitated because she hadn't forgotten that she had scoldeed Elder Mage Grimwald and he only refrained to kill her because she had given that book to the old naked drunkard. They also couldn't just walk up to him and lack an invitation. She was really afraid of losing her life now.
" Elder Mage Grimwald, are you there?" she shouted out loud.
There was no one in the library but them so they should be able to hear her. To her shock, she heard a voice:
Elder Mage Grimwald will cast The Soul Sucker Curse on you in 5 sec.
Soul what?
She was startled and suddenly heard the system count down. There was only one way out.
2 sec.
“I am Sage Zengzi's disciple. If you kill me, you will feel his wrath.” she shouted out loud.
She waited to hear the system countdown but to her relief she heard nothing, and it was music to her ears.
Suddenly Elder Mage Grimwald appeared and stood before her. She hadn't even noticed how he got in here.
He stared at her in disbelief and asked, “Do you have proof? If you lie, I will tear your soul out on the spot.”
Lily took out the black whistle which was the only thing she could think of. She couldn't possibly show him the beautiful silver dress.
When he saw the whistle, his eyes widened in surprise and looked at her again.
"You are lucky that he saved your life. What are you doing here?" he asked.
Lily took out the black book and showed it to him, saying, "He's read it."
When he heard her words, he looked like a completely new man, and she had no idea what was going on. She looked closer and noticed that his cheeks were red, and she knew that face all too well. It was a man who was in love.
Holy Mother, is he homo?
"It's about time," he said with a big smile, "can I ask you to bring it to another person?"
Lily was confused when she heard him. Suddenly something dawned on her.
Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.
Could it be that he was in love with Sage Zengzi who was in love with another person?
Wow, she had just discovered a love triangle between deities.
There was no way she could have had anything to do with it because it was obvious that there was some kind of war between them. She had already had enough of crazy old men and couldn't take any more.
"Unfortunately, I don't have time. Good day." she said, bowing to him.
You have agreed to deliver Elder Mage Grimwald's book to Enchantress Cyrene
Argh, she wanted to strangle that man because she couldn't strangle the system.
Fine, if it has to be that way.
“You sneaky sleazy old fox. You are the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever met. I curse you forever and I hope the devil rapes you when you die.” she shouted, pointing angrily at him.
You have achieved max wrath with Elder Mage Grimwald but because you agreed to deliver his book he has refrained from killing you
"Fuck you." she said, turning and quickly walking away in anger.
When they got outside Fergus looked at her admiringly.
"You surprise me every time. You are an expert.” he praised.
"I said I'm a master and I wasn't lying." Lily said proudly, looking like a shining pearl.
She loved compliments especially when he praised her for scolding Elder Mage Grimwald and getting away with it. No one in the world could do the same.
You are a genius Lily, she praised herself.
She looked at the book and asked, “Where does Enchantress Cyrene live?”
But before the system could answer Fergus said, "Are you crazy?"
Lily didn't understand what he meant and looked at him.
Had she said something strange?
"Is there something wrong?" she asked.
” Enchantress Cyrene lives in the forest behind you, and no one can get near her. Not even you, although you are special.” Fergus replied.
Lily immediately realized that she had stepped on a landmine and wanted to run around screaming like crazy because she had touched that orb and had been killed on the spot.
What the hell had she gotten herself into?
Why did everyone fuck with her?
She cleared her throat and put the book away and said, "Let's leave the book for another time."
Suddenly she heard a voice:
You have 5 days to deliver Elder Mage Grimwald's book to Enchantress Cyrene or you will be severely punished. You will also receive Elder Mage Grimwald's max wrath
” Argh, shut up your stupid system. You kill me literary.” she cried, having had enough.
She sat down on a bench sullenly and looked around at passers-by.
"My lady, let me massage your shoulders so you can relax." Violet said walking over and massaging shoulders.
Lily explained to them that she had a deadline of 5 days to hand in the damn book or she would be punished.
"We find a method. I promised to be your guide so I will live up to that.” said Fergus, comforting her.
Lily lacked another form of income and since she had some gold, she wanted to look at blacksmithing. She remembers that she still has 2 untouched unique skill points. If she could unlock more subclasses, she could craft other things and sell them.
"Where do you earn the most gold?" she asked.
"The Black Market and the broker." Fergus replied.
Lily was reminded that she had to buy VIP first to use the broker.
"How much does VIP in the broker cost?" she asked.
Fergus hesitated a little and whispered something in her ears. Lily looked at him in shock, thinking he was joking with her. She was right that VIP was expensive.
It was 1000x 999bil and she couldn't afford that right now because she was saving up for a permanent home.
“Let's visit The Black Market.” she said, standing up.
