Chapter 107 New Helper
"Bang!!"
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Leah stood in the kitchen doorway.
Those always clear and calm platinum gray eyes were staring intently at the scene in the kitchen.
Her gaze first fell on Lynn, whose clothes were disheveled, face was flushed, and breathing heavily.
Then, he slowly moved down and landed on Sylvia, who was kneeling in front of him, her clothes were also disheveled, her hair was slightly loose, and her cheeks were extremely red.
She was in a posture that was hard to describe.
Finally, her gaze settled on the back of Sylvia's head, which was being held tightly by Lynn's hand.
A strange smell filled the kitchen.
"elder brother?"
"Sister Sylvia?"
Leah's voice made the two who were frozen in place tremble at the same time.
"you……"
She paused, seemingly searching for the right words.
"What are you doing?"
When the last three words were uttered, the temperature in the kitchen dropped several degrees, centered around Leah.
Sylvia wanted to explain, wanted to jump up immediately, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
But she was still restrained by Lynn, so she couldn't speak and could only let out muffled sobs.
Leah's gaze shifted to Lynn.
"Lia...? Is it...Lia?"
Lynn's eyes were bloodshot and his body was burning hot. Leah also noticed that something was wrong with Lynn, but soon Lynn pounced on Leah.
***
The morning sunlight streamed through the lounge window, gently illuminating the messy bed.
Lynn slowly opened his eyes.
Beside her, Leah was still fast asleep.
She lay on her side, her long, light blue hair spread across the pillow, her fair shoulders exposed, with some ambiguous red marks still remaining on them.
Ok.
It seems that the Water Blue Goddess will need to rest for another two days.
He gently pulled up the blanket and covered Leah's shoulders with it, his movements incredibly tender.
Hey.
Sylvia really got me into serious trouble this time.
The Divine Child is the future pinnacle of combat power.
You shouldn't pat someone's back like that every day.
Starting today.
I, Lynn, am going to give up plum juice!
He got dressed, walked to the window, and opened it, letting the fresh morning air dispel the lingering stale atmosphere inside.
He returned to the bedside, leaned down, and gently kissed Leah's slightly furrowed brow.
"I'm sorry, Leah, go back to sleep," he said softly.
Leah's eyelashes fluttered, as if she were about to wake up, but in the end she just unconsciously shrank further into the blankets and continued to sleep soundly.
Lynn looked at her quietly for a while before turning around and leaving the lounge.
The kitchen has been roughly cleaned.
Sylvia isn't here; she's probably already run away.
Lynn quickly washed up, ate something, and pondered how to "educate" Sylvia.
Around noon, the communication crystal he had placed in the room suddenly emitted a soft and continuous light and began to vibrate gently.
Lynn picked up the crystal and infused it with magic.
Veritas's face appeared; she looked better and had a hint of smugness on her face: "Good morning, Master!"
"Just wanted to let you know, the assistant I sent should be arriving near Silverdew Village soon!"
"This is my best student, you must treat him well!"
"We've arrived?" Lynn's spirits lifted. The city was in dire need of high-end human talent, so this was a timely help.
"Hmm~ They went with the dragon, so they should arrive today."
"Master, I'll be quick this time, right? Please remember your promise to me and be good to me, okay?" Veritas blinked, her voice slightly coquettish.
"Alright, alright, I know, as long as she's here." You can't be too nice to Veritas, or she'll easily take advantage and become greedy.
Lynn immediately cut off the communication.
Vilitas, left waiting to be praised, was secretly heartbroken.
Not long after, the Voice of Nature brought a message from Sheena: "Prophet, a group of visitors has arrived outside the settlement. They are led by two young women, one of whom calls herself Lyra and says she has come to assist you on the orders of Master Vilitas."
"I'll be right there," Lynn replied.
He straightened his robes, composed himself, and headed towards the entrance of the settlement.
From afar, he spotted the group of people led by Sheena.
The two women at the head of the group were very conspicuous.
The woman on the left is a beautiful young woman with brown hair and purple eyes.
She wore a well-tailored black and white mage robe, with silver runes of truth embroidered on the sleeves and lapels, outlining her slender and beautiful figure.
She was extremely beautiful, with an elegant yet unconventional temperament. She was Vilitas's most prized student and the future Saint-level mage known for her erudition—Lyra.
And the other person standing next to her...
Lynn's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
That was a "girl" who looked...very petite.
She was definitely less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing a specially made red armor that revealed her slender limbs.
She has long, fiery red hair and two small, exquisite dragon horns on her head.
Behind it, a tail covered in fine red scales was swaying gently without its own awareness.
Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll's, and her round, red eyes made her look exceptionally cute.
This is... Hill?
Is this a pure-blooded red dragon? It must be around 100 years old, but dragons are a breed that those who know, know.
I don't understand, and even if I explain, I still won't understand.
"Prophet! Greetings, Prophet!"
Lyra spotted Lynn approaching at a glance, and a bright smile immediately lit up her face as she ran over happily, showing no signs of awkwardness or reserve typical of a first meeting.
She ran up to Lynn, naturally performed a mage's salute, then blinked her violet eyes, lowered her voice, and said quickly in a volume only the two of them could hear:
"Greetings, Your Excellency Prophet! I am Lyra!"
"I've come to assist you on my teacher's orders! My teacher told me to listen to you carefully and do my best to help you build the city!"
She paused, her smile turning slightly mischievous and suggestive, her voice lowering even further, "And also... Prophet, you can use me as you please~"
"Just treat her better from now on!"
Lynn: "..."
"And this one over there..." Lyra turned to the side and pointed to Hill, the red-haired dragon girl who was walking over with small steps.
Then, continuing in whisper mode: "This is Hill, the most promising dragon mage of our current generation in the Mage Council!"
"Because the teacher said that the True Mage's constitution is too weak, and he might not be able to withstand it..."
"Ahem, anyway, Teacher has given our Hill to you, Prophet, to use as you please~"
She emphasized the words "use at will," her eyes conveying an unmistakable implication.
"Don't let her height of less than 1.5 meters fool you, she's already 100 years old!"
"Moreover, dragons have very strong physiques, they are incredibly resilient..."
"Ahem, I mean, it's incredibly durable! Whether it's for helping with chores or... anything else, it'll absolutely work!"
After saying that, Lyra picked up Hill and rubbed her face against Hill's, saying, "How is it? Isn't Hill cute? How about tonight...?"
"And besides, this is our first time for both of us..."
Listening to Leila's sales pitch.
Hill's fair face puffed up slightly, her red dragon eyes glaring at Lyra, her tail wagging incessantly: "Lyra, put me down right now!!"
"Okay, okay!"
After Lyra put Hill down, Hill turned to Lynn and said awkwardly in a voice that was a little childish but also tried to sound mature, "My name is Hill Redscale, and I am the dragon that will burn the world in the future."
"I have come to assist Your Excellency the Prophet on the orders of Master Veritas. Anyway... I promised Master Veritas that Your Excellency the Prophet may use me as you see fit." After saying this, she even gave a proper bow, but the blush on her face was impossible to hide.
A back massage? A dragon girl? One hundred years old? Durable?
Lynn's lips twitched.
That woman, Vilitas…
Not saying it's bad is actually quite good...
After all, they're just stuffing all the outstanding students in like maids to be sent over as dowry?
That's incredibly generous!
It's important to know that in the previous game, Lyra and Hill were both Saint-level powerhouses in the future Mage Council. Although they are currently only King-level, with Lyra at the peak of King-level and Hill at King-level, their potential is limitless.
"Layla, no need for further words," Lynn waved his hand.
A wave of the hand is not just a way of saying no more, but a clear refusal.
"I am very happy that you have come to help with the city's construction. We can discuss other matters later."
"Huh?" Leila tilted her head.
A hint of confusion and slight disappointment flickered in her violet eyes: "My Lord Prophet... do you feel that the two of us aren't charming enough? We can..."
"Stop!" Lynn felt a chill run down his spine and immediately raised his voice, his tone resolute.
"Now, immediately, right now! Come with me to the Hanhe New City construction site! There are countless important matters awaiting us there!"
What's this about stepping on someone's back? Lynn needs to produce and build.
Even cute lolis and girls with contrasting personalities are not as important as production and construction.
"Let's go! Build the city! Building the city is the priority!" Lynn practically pushed Lyra, who was still trying to say something, and waved to Hill, who had a bewildered expression, before striding towards the direction of Hanhe New City.
