Chapter 196 It smells so good, can I drink your blood?
Before Tronos's patience reached its limit, Lin Shuwan loosened her grip on his hands.
However, fearing she would be left behind, she secretly grabbed a corner of his clothes with her right hand.
Tronos glanced at the tear stains on his body and the crumpled hem of his clothes by Lin Shuwan, suppressed his irritation and took a step forward. The two of them then returned to Tronos's house from the Misty Forest.
At night, the lights in the house are turned on very brightly, as bright as day.
It felt like we were in two completely different time zones, inside and outside the house.
The hem of the garment that was still in Lin Shuwan's hand was cut off by an invisible blade, and Tronos's outer garment was automatically replaced with another set.
However, Lin Shuwan seemed completely oblivious to all of this, exclaiming, "This is just too amazing!"
She looked around in surprise, then at Tronos, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Are all wizards as powerful as you? Can I become a wizard?"
Tronos glanced at her indifferently, his voice cold: "Fine."
Lin Shuwan's eyes lit up: "Really? What should I do?"
"At the cost of all the blood in my body, and immortality."
Tronos spoke casually, as if the price was nothing more than losing a few hairs.
Even so, what abilities you possess is not something you can decide. Perhaps they won't even be as good as what you have now. Are you still willing to accept that?
"Uh..." Lin Shuwan forced a dry laugh, "Actually, I think being a vampire is pretty good, haha."
Unexpected answer.
Tronos looked down at her reaction, a few mocking laughs escaping his chest.
Lin Shuwan awkwardly scratched her face, then changed the subject: "By the way, how did you find me?"
“I can sense it as soon as I step into this forest.” Tronos glanced at his pocket watch, pulled out a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.
"Oh." Lin Shuwan's nodding head suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something, and she asked suspiciously, "So, the reason we couldn't find our way before was because of you?"
Tronos simply said, "Too many people, too noisy."
"Where was the noise? You made us wander around in the woods for so long just because of this. That's really unfair of you..." Lin Shuwan muttered in dissatisfaction.
"The demon that Blank is talking about, could it be you?"
"It's just the imagination of the ignorant."
The Misty Forest wasn't always called that.
Five hundred years ago, Tronos came to the remote town of Evander.
Because he disliked contact with people, he built a house in the forest and set up an illusion to prevent anyone from accidentally intruding.
After some time, the townspeople suddenly discovered that once they went deeper into the western part of the woods, they could no longer see clearly and could not find their way.
But as long as you keep thinking about going back, you'll slowly find yourself returning to town.
Fearing they might never escape, the townspeople gradually stopped venturing deeper into the west.
On ordinary days, he only stays in the outer areas.
If a playful child accidentally runs inside, they will be severely beaten by their worried and anxious parents while crying when they come out.
After that, even fewer people were active on the periphery.
Tronos knew all of this.
However, this was exactly what he wanted.
They lived in peace for hundreds of years.
But even wizards need to eat regularly.
To avoid direct contact with people, Tronos entrusted all his daily expenses to his puppets.
The puppets are lifelike and can answer some simple questions.
Unfortunately, some parts of the puppet broke down last month due to their age, and replacements have not yet been found.
Just as he was considering whether to go out himself, a young man happened to pass by the western side of the Misty Forest.
He casually gave an order, buying the items and leaving gold coins as a reward.
Once given an order, everything takes precedence over his command.
It was probably the young man's unusual behavior that caught the attention of the townspeople that led to this current explanation.
That shopkeeper must have known about what happened in the western part of the dense forest, yet he still dared to follow her into the Misty Forest.
(Lin Shuwan's smug face: After all, I'm their big employer!)
Indeed, money and silk can be alluring.
Tronos was too lazy to explain these things to her: "You won't get lost when you're alone from now on."
"Oh, okay." Lin Shuwan nodded. "Speaking of which, my furniture is still there. Could you help me get it all back?"
Although she won't get lost anymore, it's so dark outside, and she can't manage two carriages by herself.
It would be more convenient to ask Tronos for help.
This is what we call making rational use of available resources!
Lin Shuwan smiled and moved closer to Tronos, flattering him, "Dear Tronos, great wizard, I think this should be a very easy thing for you. You only need to move your little finger to help me with this big favor."
"Aurora, what makes you think I'm an easy person to talk to?" Tronos looked at Lin Shuwan with a half-smile.
"My patience has its limits."
Lin Shuwan's heart skipped a beat, and she distanced herself from him.
What a load of rubbish wizard, he won't even help with this little thing.
"Secretly cursing me?" Tronos lowered his eyelids slightly, his expression inscrutable.
Lin Shuwan's eyes widened in fright, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, you don't need to trouble yourself. I'll go get it myself, I'll go get it myself."
She walked quickly to the door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open.
A night breeze swept by, its damp coolness sending shivers down her spine.
In the distance, mist lingered, and the shadowy trees seemed to sway in the breeze. Deep within, it was as if ghosts were whispering.
She immediately pulled her foot back, slammed the door shut, turned around, and shut out the night before letting out a soft sigh of relief.
Looking up, he met Tronos's impatient eyes.
The sound of the door closing is so loud.
"I... I just feel it's a bit late today. It's okay to go get it tomorrow morning. There's no rush, haha."
After explaining, Lin Shuwan seemed somewhat unwilling. Her eyes darted around, and she muttered to herself, "Oh no, it seems that neither of those two carriages is tied to the tree. What if they get startled and run away?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the gift I specially bought for the wizard is still in the carriage. If it gets lost, it's gone forever."
"The moment I saw that, I felt it was a perfect match for the wizard, and it would be a shame to lose it."
Lin Shuwan shook her head with feigned regret, her eyes frequently glancing at Tronos.
Tronos looked up, his eyes staring straight at her, as if he were looking through her body and examining her soul.
Under his direct gaze, it seemed as if no little thought could be hidden.
Lin Shuwan looked away guiltily, but quickly looked back openly.
It's a lie that the carriage wasn't tied up, but it's true that gifts were bought!
Although it was so that I could get more gold coins from Tronos next time.
However, it is still a gift.
Tronos chuckled softly and leaned back in his chair.
Well, this is the first time someone has given him a gift.
In a short while, the furniture from both cars was neatly arranged in the corner of the living room, making the originally empty living room feel a bit more crowded.
"Wow, wizard, you're amazing!"
Seeing it again, I'm still amazed by such ability.
Lin Shuwan quickly found the dressing table and took out a mahogany box from the drawer.
This was a gift from Massimo after she bought the furniture.
It's perfect for storing the accessories she bought for Tronos.
Just as Lin Shuwan was about to hand it to him, the wooden box floated automatically to Tronos's front, opened, and the brooch inside floated into the air.
It is made entirely of silver, with two overlapping leaves, and sprinkled with tiny sapphires.
The coolness of silver blends with the depth of blue, creating a simple yet unique interplay of silver and blue.
It was one of the few pieces of jewelry that Lin Shuwan could barely find acceptable in the town's jewelry shops.
"What do you think? I picked this out at first sight. Doesn't it suit you perfectly?" Lin Shuwan said, trying to take credit.
"generally."
"If you don't like it, that's fine, I can wear it myself."
Lin Shuwan reached out to snatch it, but the brooch quickly and steadily fell back into the box, avoiding her hand.
Tronos's voice remained flat, without the slightest hint of emotion: "I gave it to you, there's no reason for me to take it back."
Lin Shuwan withdrew her hand and pouted, "You're saying one thing and meaning another."
