Chapter 116: My Lord Hero, please save her.
Nightmoon Tavern, Lilith’s room.
“That’s basically what happened.” After finishing her account of the recent events in one breath, Elrose took a large sip of tea.
“A bloodline awakening, huh.”
Luna gently bit her lip, gazing at Lilith, who had changed clothes and was quietly sleeping in bed, her eyes filled with worry.
She knew what a half-human Demon Clan bloodline awakening meant in the human world—she would be forcibly taken away from here and would have to live under the surveillance of the Sacred Domain for the rest of her life.
This was undeniably painful.
Kendrick let out a deep sigh, his face etched with the old man’s worry, but at the same time, he felt a hint of luck in his heart.
Fortunately, the Hero acted in time; otherwise, the consequences would truly be unimaginable.
Kendrick looked up at Elrose: “Elrose, where is Mr. Alicia? Didn’t he come back with you?”
“No,” Elrose replied, “he got caught up with a very cute girl and probably can’t get away for a while.”
“So he left you, a girl, to carry Lilith back alone?” Luna’s brows furrowed in anger as she said, “Hmph, what a jerk.”
“Luna,” Kendrick said somewhat displeased, “Mr. Alicia at least saved Lilith’s life; how can you be so rude?”
“Hmph.” Luna turned her face away, clearly unwilling to back down on this topic.
“Alright, alright, let’s talk about the details when Mr. Alicia returns. I’ll have a detailed discussion with him,” Kendrick said. “I can keep an eye on things here; you both should go back to your rooms and rest, especially you, Elrose. You must be tired after running around like this.”
“Yeah, I’m exhausted.”
“I’m collapsing,” Elrose said, getting up and stretching widely before leaving the room with Luna.
“Hmph, Kendrick really is something; why do I feel like he so favors Alicia?”
Outside the door, Luna couldn’t help but complain again.
“Favor? I think it’s not so bad,” Elrose leaned closer to Luna, yawning widely, “but I feel like your hostility toward him is a bit too obvious.”
“What’s wrong with being obvious? I want him to understand that there are still people at home guarding against him; he can’t do as he pleases,” Luna said righteously.
“Is that so?” Elrose gently smiled, “Oh, by the way, Luna, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“I’m out of magic.”
Luna was slightly taken aback, her cheeks flushing immediately: “I… I understand.”
Luna pursed her lips, glancing at Elrose shyly, then slowly closed her eyes, offering her lips with a bashful expression.
So, so cute.
Watching Luna’s pure face, Elrose’s heart skipped a beat.
Indeed, a sixteen-year-old beautiful girl is the best.
Elrose slowly leaned down.
【Kiss Magic LV.max】 activated.
…
A white figure strode in, racing into Nightmoon Tavern.
“Wow, I finally got rid of her.” Alicia breathed heavily, already regretting having transformed into male clothing.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have rushed to apply at Nightmoon Tavern. I should’ve taken the time to get some makeup supplies to make myself look more rugged, then I wouldn’t have this much trouble.
Alicia let out a heavy sigh.
“Mr. Alicia.”
At that moment, Kendrick heard some noises from downstairs and slowly walked down from the second floor.
“Kendrick Boss.”
Alicia quickly got up, “Um, have Elrose and Lilith returned?”
“They’re back,” Kendrick nodded.
“That’s good.” Alicia immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely startled when he found Elrose and Lilith missing, but unfortunately, Elbira had been too clingy, making it difficult for him to escape.
“Um, Kendrick Boss, about Lilith’s situation…”
“I’ve heard Elrose’s account,” Kendrick nodded, then bowed respectfully to Alicia, “Mr. Alicia, thank you for saving the young girl’s life.”
Alicia quickly helped him up: “Kendrick, there’s no need for that; I didn’t do much.”
“Mr. Alicia, you are too modest. The high-level skill of bloodline sealing, even many of the Saint Tier experts cannot achieve it,” Kendrick replied.
“Haha, it’s not that exaggerated, not at all,” Alicia said.
“You’re truly humble.” Kendrick smiled lightly, then suddenly became serious: “By the way, Mr. Alicia, I have a question I’d like to ask. How is the situation with the young girl’s bloodline? How long can the seal you placed on her last?”
Upon hearing this, Alicia’s expression instantly darkened: “To be honest, Lilith’s condition isn’t great. Her bloodline is very powerful but extremely unstable. My seal can only temporarily contain her bloodline, and as for other sealing practices, I haven’t thought of any for now.”
“Only the System, and the sealing time won’t be too long.”
“That…” Kendrick immediately clenched his fists and then looked at Alicia with hopeful eyes, “Mr. Alicia, do you have any way to maintain this seal permanently?”
“I do have a method, but…” Alicia gritted his teeth, “It’s just that with my current strength, it would be very difficult.”
“How could that be?!” Upon hearing the negative response, Kendrick’s emotions became somewhat agitated: “How could there be anything you can’t do? You are…”
Kendrick immediately realized his slip of the tongue and hurriedly closed his mouth, swallowing the last four words back down.
Alicia naturally noticed the peculiarity in Kendrick’s words and, combined with Kendrick’s extremely respectful demeanor towards him these past few days,
Alicia glanced deeply at Kendrick, hesitating before saying, “Kendrick Boss, do you know something? But why? How did you find out?”
“I…” Kendrick hesitated for a long time, then sighed softly, “Mr. Alicia, please come with me to the kitchen.”
In the kitchen.
Alicia quietly sat down in front of a seat, and Kendrick took out a heavy wooden box from a nearby cabinet and gently placed it in front of her.
Kendrick opened the wooden box and slowly took out its contents.
A ceramic bowl that isn’t quite exquisite but is extremely well-preserved and a severely damaged, rusty sword.
Alicia’s eyes widened, and she reached out to bring the bowl and sword closer to herself.
Without a doubt, these were her belongings.
She had encountered a lost little boy on her way to fight the demon army and couldn’t take him with her due to the emergency, so she could only leave him the most basic survival items and a bowl of fried rice she had intended to save for herself as a late-night snack before rushing away.
“This, this is…”
Alicia suddenly looked at Kendrick in shock, “You are from Noss Village thirty years ago…!”
Kendrick smiled slightly and then knelt on one knee in front of Alicia: “My Lord Hero, I’m Kendrick, it’s a great honor to see you again. That bowl of fried rice you left that night, I will never forget.”
Alicia pondered for a moment and then couldn’t help but shake her head, smiling bitterly: “So it was like this; such is fate, it truly is wonderful.”
“Indeed.” Kendrick smiled slightly, then once again looked at Alicia with a serious expression, “So, My Lord Hero, you are the strongest guardian of the human world in three hundred years, the hope of the people, the dawn of salvation. How could someone like you not be able to handle a mere bloodline seal?”
“Lilith, she is truly a good child; I beg you to save her,” Kendrick lowered his head once more, “I am willing to give everything for this.”
Alicia deeply sighed, quickly helping Kendrick up: “Alright, since you’ve gone this far, if I don’t give my all, it would be a disgrace to the name of a Hero.”
Kendrick’s eyes instantly widened: “You agreed?!”
“Yes.” Alicia gently nodded, “However, I have a condition.”
“You speak.”
“Loan me Elrose for a few days.”
