This was very awkward!

It was okay if Nana saw it. She was a magic puppet who didn’t understand this stuff. Link turned carefully to look at Riel. Thankfully, he was still snoring and deep asleep.

Looking back at Milda, Link didn’t know what to say.

Link was very open-minded about sex. He didn’t care that much and had only acted intimately with Celine, but he wouldn’t stay monogamous purposely. He didn’t feel bad about what happened—just awkward.

He never thought that an erotic dream would become real. Milda must have cooperated. Otherwise, he would at most just hug her and rub a little.

But now that they were at this point, should he stop or not? If he stopped, he would feel a bit sad. If he didn’t…what even was this?

While he was still debating, Milda hugged Link tightly and murmured in his ear, “Finish your dream.”

Okay. Link decided to continue.

There was a flurry and a storm. Afterwards, Link and Milda both used a cleaning spell and quickly fixed their clothing. He didn’t know how to face Milda anymore. Clearing his throat, he pulled out a book. “Rest well. I’ll read for a bit.”

Milda giggled. She sat up and latched onto Link’s lower back. “Now you’re a true man. Before this, I thought you only knew magic spells…”

Link started sweating. Just as he was trying to answer, his ears twitched. He heard something unnatural. Seeing Milda was about to speak, he reached out to stop her. Then he cast the Silence Spell on Riel. The snoring disappeared instantly.

Weak cries of insects traveled in from the trees outside. There were soft scrapes within the noise.

Link’s hearing was very sensitive. He listened hard to distinguish it. After a few seconds, he wrote some words with streaks of light in the air. People are coming. There are three.

They were in the wilderness. No matter who it was or if they were discovered, they must be prepared to defend themselves.

Link gestured at Nana and pointed at Riel. Nana quietly walked to the dwarf and shook him awake.

“Ah, what’s wrong?” Riel asked blearily, not fully awake yet. His voice was quite loud. Thankfully, the Silence Spell surrounded them and the people outside the tree couldn’t hear.

Link increased the range of the spell, covering the outside of the tree. “Shush. There are people outside.”

Riel shuddered. He was immediately awake. Climbing up, he asked, “What do we do now?”

The footsteps continued outside, growing more obvious. The other party seemed not to be hiding themselves. This meant they weren’t discovered yet.

Link pointed to the tunnel at the top of the hole. “We’re going up.”

Riel was the closest to the hole, but it was a bit high; he couldn’t reach it. Nana walked over and grabbed his neck. Using some power, she tossed him into the tunnel. Next was Milda. She was already wearing comfortable clothes. Link cast the Levitation Spell and pushed her arm, pushing her into the hole.

“Nana, you too,” Link said while he chose to leave the tunnel. He walked towards the magic door of the tree.

His magic hole didn’t seal the hole completely. There was still a tiny peephole for him to see the situation outside.

Beside the door, Link tapped beside the peephole. A Spatial Lens appeared in the air. A thin thread extended from the end and through the hole. Then it enlarged slightly, turning into a Spatial Sphere.

It was already light outside. After outer light waves passed into the sphere, they were turned into strands and taken to the Spatial Lens. Thus, Link could see a 360-degree image.

As expected, there are three people. They should be halflings with bloody eyes carved on their foreheads. They’re from the Blood-eyed Robbers…They really won’t leave us alone. It’s already been so long, but they still pursued us to kill us.

Link could understand this. For a group of robbers that used their horrible reputation to instill fear, they must do this to maintain that reputation. It would put fear in everyone and lower their cost for robberies.

Otherwise, rumors would spread that someone killed a Blood-eyed Robber and survived. The horrible reputation would decrease greatly. In the future, people might fight against them during robberies. Then people would die, and the cost would rise.

What Link didn’t expect was that they were so tough!

Judging from their postures and movements, two of them were at Level-9, and one was Level-10. They looked left and right, full of vigilance. They must have felt something odd but didn’t discover anything wrong.
