“Young Master Henry, I hope you come back alive.” Lilith helped Henry organize his luggage, though Henry himself didn’t have anything to bring along.
This time his identity was a servant of the Noel Family.
To put it bluntly, he was just mixing in with the crowd.
As for the main force, they were all Empire soldiers helping to transport supplies.
Henry also didn’t understand why His Majesty the King wanted to do such a thankless task.
Perhaps it was male menopause setting in, always liking to have some strange conquest dreams.
The difference was, His Majesty the King had the ability to make it happen.
“Lilith, don’t talk like I’m going to die at any moment, okay?” Henry was exasperated.
“This time I really can’t follow by your side, so I’m very worried about your personal safety, especially with your death-seeking personality.” After spending time with Henry, Lilith naturally understood her temporary master’s personality.
Not to mention Henry’s thick skin, just that sarcastic face alone could probably anger many people to death.
Let alone the Empire soldiers who were all arrogant and didn’t put ordinary people in their eyes at all.
“Don’t worry, do you think your Young Master Henry dies that easily?”
“I don’t know how someone who eats drugged food every day can say such words?” Lilith stated a fact with a calm expression.
While Henry widened his eyes, with a “so it really was like this” expression.
“I knew there was something wrong with the food you made before, and you still wouldn’t admit it!”
“Young Master Henry, this is the first lesson I’m teaching you: never trust what women say.” Lilith smiled. “Especially women with big chests.”
Fine, you have big breasts, you’re right.
Henry no longer planned to argue.
After being busy all day in advance, Henry was also somewhat tired at this moment.
He lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes, his mind beginning to simulate all the problems that would happen next.
Actually, he more wanted the system to be able to simulate everything that would happen next, so that he could act more calmly.
【Sorry, the system cannot fulfill your request】
The considerate voice rang in Henry’s ear.
【If the host is dissatisfied with this system, you can use the self-destruct function】
No no no!
Henry roared frantically in his heart.
This system was really like a living father, he had only casually complained once, did it need to be so fragile?
Fine, he admitted that actually the Sword Immortal System was also quite good.
At least before the 【Sword Control Technique】, magic seemed to have become an inconvenience.
This also made Henry look forward even more to what rewards would be given later.
In his complaints, Henry felt his body becoming increasingly tired. Recently, spending long hours reading in the library had also consumed quite a bit of his energy.
Let’s have a good sleep tonight, then go meet tomorrow’s challenges!
That’s what Henry thought.
It was just that suddenly, a figure slipped into his bed.
The other party pressed tightly against Henry’s back, their hands even hugged his waist, clinging tightly to him.
Feeling the touch of the other party’s chest, Henry also recognized that it was Lilith who had climbed onto his bed.
He didn’t speak, just lay there quietly.
Instead, it was Lilith who whispered softly in his ear.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“If being afraid could solve problems, I wouldn’t have been driven out by the Rumelter Family in the first place.”
Just like the game’s trajectory.
Because of fear, Henry became the final boss.
So the way to eliminate fear was to face fear directly.
And for Henry, this commission was more like a trip.
It could let him see the scenery outside the academy.
Hearing this, Lilith hugged even tighter.
Her forehead pressed against Henry’s back, and her tone wasn’t as cold as usual.
“You’re very strong, stronger than many people I’ve seen. When they faced despair, they always chose to give up. I really hate that kind of person.”
Lilith’s tone became harsh.
This surprised Henry somewhat.
However, Henry didn’t quite agree with what Lilith said.
“Choosing to give up isn’t a shameful thing. No one stipulates that any person must optimistically face everything. At least in my view, escaping isn’t a bad choice either.”
Lilith fell silent, not knowing whether she didn’t want to respond to Henry or was thinking about what Henry said.
Gradually, Henry’s eyelids also couldn’t help but fight.
He closed his eyes, and just before falling asleep, he heard Lilith’s voice.
“You must come back alive. When the time comes, I’ll fulfill one of your requests.”
Support me, rich woman!
Henry’s heart was crying out.
****
“You, I’m talking about you! Hurry up and move the stuff on the boxes onto the cart. If you delay the time, I’ll beat you to death!”
More than ten workers were moving supplies onto the carts.
Standing to one side was a large group of Empire Knights.
They coldly watched this group of workers hired by the Noel Family, without any intention of going up to help.
The one speaking was Pierre, the person in charge of this transportation.
Standing beside him was Henry, wearing a disguise mask.
This was a mask Sherisa gave Henry to hide his identity. It was said that as long as you injected magic power into it, you could change your appearance.
Of course, changing appearance required precise magic power control.
Obviously, Henry couldn’t do this.
At the same time, this mask was basically impossible to circulate in the market, and only the Noel Family had channels to get their hands on it.
At this moment, Henry—ah no, he should be called Battman.
He was standing beside Pierre with a face full of smiles.
“Mr. Pierre, this transportation will be accompanied by me. No other Noel Family members will be involved in this matter.”
Hearing Henry’s words, Pierre snorted disdainfully.
“Just you alone can’t stir up any trouble. You merchants who collude with each other probably want to do something disadvantageous to the Empire behind the scenes. This time letting you transport supplies is your honor!”
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re absolutely right.”
Some old immortals just had thick skin.
Using other people’s money on one hand, while calling it a reward on the other.
If this was really so glorious, would His Majesty the King agree if he wanted to spend a night with your wife?
Looking at Pierre’s pretentious face, Henry felt the other party might really be able to do it.
After the carriages were completely loaded, Pierre finally got on the carriage.
The transport unit then began to set off.
At the same time, on a mountaintop not far away.
Lilith was looking down at this scene from high above.
Her gaze always stayed on Henry, and only when Henry completely disappeared did she leave her original position.
Far away at the academy, Jessica heard the news of Henry taking leave.
She felt somewhat depressed for a moment.
She had originally wanted to invite Henry for a meal. According to that guy’s habits, he would definitely agree.
It looked like it could only be next time.
Jessica raised her head to look at the distant sun, for some reason finding it very dazzling.
