Chapter 19
I can satisfy your every request~
Henry had always admired three types of people in his life.
First were those who could watch without taking off.
Second were those who never fast-forwarded through the entire thing.
Third were those who could watch completely to the end before taking off.
Now the boss had become the fourth type of person—his condition was like someone who insisted on watching to the end even after taking off.
The boss tremblingly adjusted his glasses, squeezing out a smile from his face.
“It’s nothing, I’ve been testing a lot of potions recently, so the side effects are quite severe, but it won’t kill anyone.”
“You remind me of an old friend who dared to try any medicinal herb.”
Henry scanned around and finally fixed his gaze on a black magic book.
That black magic book had no title whatsoever, and judging by the worn condition of its cover, it seemed to have some history.
“Do you want that book? Unfortunately, the text on it is very difficult to understand—I haven’t been able to decipher it to this day.”
Hearing this, Henry opened the book.
But when he saw the text inside, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Wasn’t this the script from before he transmigrated?
It seemed that to help players understand, the game had still translated it into common text.
But the NPCs in the game couldn’t understand it.
【Dedicate everything to magic】
Henry decisively closed the book, then found several potato seeds in the shop and handed them to the boss.
“Let’s settle the bill together.”
“Hmm? You want to buy this book? However, I must say, previous customers have also purchased this book, but they all returned it in the end. If you can’t decipher it, you can send it back here, and I’ll buy it back at the original price.”
Listen to that—now that’s what you call emotional intelligence!
The boss simply wanted to find someone to help him decipher this magic book.
If Henry didn’t return the book, the boss would probably come looking for him personally.
However, Henry was also curious about the boss’s identity.
Opening a shop in such a place, he must have some purpose.
He just hoped the boss wouldn’t be involved with Dark Magic, or else his Flying Sword wouldn’t recognize anyone.

Lilith had been waiting for Henry at home for a long time.
The two sat in a carriage traveling through the streets.
“Lilith, will I meet Sherisa’s parents when I go over this time?”
“The master is out on business, and the mistress is attending a magic symposium and hasn’t returned yet. Besides the servants, only the young lady is at home.”
Upon hearing this, Henry immediately felt his spirits rise.
It was as exciting as bringing a boyfriend home when mom and dad weren’t around.
However, he and Sherisa weren’t that kind of relationship—he was just visiting her home as a guest.
Henry silently looked toward Lilith, while Lilith calmly met his gaze.
“Lilith, I suddenly thought of something.”
“Please speak.”
“Didn’t you say before that when you get married, Sherisa would give you a house? What if I fake-married you? Then wouldn’t Sherisa have to fulfill her promise?”
It had to be said, Henry was really thinking outside the box.
Even Lilith hadn’t thought Henry would say something so absurd.
Lilith simply shifted her gaze to the side.
“Impossible.”
“Why?”
“I don’t have that intention at the moment, and I still need to earn money.” Lilith rejected Henry’s suggestion and gave him a threatening look.
Seeing Lilith refuse so decisively, Henry gave up.
However, Lilith’s gaze silently moved from Henry’s body slowly downward, finally stopping at a certain place, and that day’s scene surfaced in her mind again.
Hmm… it actually wasn’t impossible to consider.
At least in a certain aspect, she should be able to get satisfaction.
*****
The Noel Family estate was built on the outskirts of town.
The first thing that caught the eye was a five-hectare front garden. A bronze fountain in the center of a circular pool spurted three tiers of water curtains, with a small angel at the top pouring a golden pitcher down toward the seahorse group below.
After being carefully tended by gardeners, the garden gave a comfortable feeling visually.
The carriage slowly drove into the estate and finally stopped at the main entrance of the mansion.
Looking at the mansion that seemed to stretch endlessly.
Henry felt it was necessary to hang Sherisa’s father from a streetlamp.
Of course, if some of this would also be his share, then he hadn’t said anything.
“The young lady is waiting for you inside. I’ll stay outside.”
Lilith didn’t seem to intend to go in with Henry.
Henry didn’t refuse either, since Sherisa was her real master, and he was just benefiting from Sherisa’s favor.
He pushed open the wooden door, and what met his eyes was a corridor full of luxury goods.
Items that were extremely valuable even in the game were now casually placed in the corridor.
If the players back then had known there were so many precious items here, would they have come to steal them?
Henry shook his head and quickly dismissed this thought.
He stepped toward the main hall, but this corridor seemed somewhat long.
Damn it!
Who was so bored as to design such a long corridor?
Just to show off their wealth!
In Henry’s mind, he had already classified Sherisa’s father as the type who should be hung from a streetlamp, beaten frantically, and then have salt water poured on the wounds.
Finally, when Henry reached the end, Sherisa’s figure appeared before his eyes.
Sherisa slowly raised her head, her golden twin-tails swaying accordingly.
Henry suppressed his evil thoughts and walked toward Sherisa with a smile.
“Henry-kun, are you happy with my gift?”
“You mean Lilith? I’m curious, is she really capable?”
“Lilith is a very dutiful person. I think you can trust her. Of course, if you don’t trust me, then I hope we can deepen our relationship through communication.”
Sherisa picked up a cookie from the table and stuffed it into Henry’s mouth, her fingertip secretly teasing his tongue.
This action made Henry become fully alert.
Is the little rich girl finally interested in my body and about to make a move on me?
He looked at the warm green tea on the side and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness it wasn’t red tea, or else if he fell asleep, his chastity wouldn’t be preserved.
Sherisa didn’t know Henry was thinking so much.
She propped her chin and looked at Henry, then asked.
“Henry-kun, have you found someone to team up with you?”
“Eh, team up for what?”
Henry was somewhat confused. He had just passed the Assessment Exam, so naturally he wasn’t clear about the academy’s curriculum.
There was still some time before the first act’s main plot, so his mind naturally wasn’t on academics.
“Besides theoretical learning in the academy, teachers will lead students to small villages outside town to carry out missions. As long as you can complete the missions, you’ll earn corresponding credits.”
After hearing Sherisa’s explanation, Henry finally understood.
“That’s no problem, but how many people can be in one team?”
When this topic came up, Sherisa suddenly pounced forward, pressing Henry beneath her.
Her beautiful golden hair fell onto Henry’s face, and Henry could even hear her breathing.
“Henry-kun, don’t you want to be alone with me?”
Sherisa bent down close to Henry’s ear, taking his earlobe in her mouth.
“I can satisfy your every request~”
