Strategy? Are you kidding me?
With an expression that seemed to say "are you kidding me?", Lorne shook his head at Helena. He thought to himself, I've said it before, I'm only interested in gentle and well-endowed girls. I have no interest in these wild women...
Say it again.
No. Interest.
"What's wrong, Lorne? What's got you so lost in thought? Hurry up and tell us your wish," Arianne impatiently asked, with a teasing smile on her face. "Oh, I see, you're just too shy to say it, right? Such a pure-hearted man... Fine, you don't have to say it, sister understands."
She walked over to Lorne's creaky bed and sat down slowly. She lifted the hem of her pristine white robe, revealing her white and smooth stockings. Her legs had elegant and beautiful curves.
Arianne raised her leg and lightly removed her leather boots. Then she motioned with her finger towards Lorne, smiling mischievously.
"Come here and lie on the ground. I'll be kind enough to step on your back!"
Hey hey...
Even though you're a "Holy Maiden of Mercy," shouldn't your mercy be different from this?
Lorne was completely baffled.
But to be honest, Arianne's feet wrapped in white stockings were emitting an inexplicable allure. Though Lorne said he didn't want it, there was a hint of restlessness in his heart.
"Let me make it clear, this kind of opportunity is rare!" Arianne smirked and said, "Because I promised to reward you, and... and... you have a pretty cute face, which makes people want to tease you."
Her face turned slightly red, with a hint of shyness in her mischief.
No, no, stay calm!
Lorne forcefully shook his head.
He couldn't let this person lead him by the nose... Otherwise, he would truly become her slave?
Stand strong!
"Sorry, I don't have that kind of fetish," Lorne took a deep breath and replied.
"Huh, really? Strange, don't men usually like this kind of play?" Arianne tilted her head in surprise, "In the books I've read, that's how it was... It seems my theoretical knowledge isn't rich enough..."
Theoretical knowledge?
Hey hey, as a Holy Maiden, what kind of strange books have you been reading? That's just not proper!
...Please lend them to me too.
"Alright, alright, just hurry up and put your shoes back on," Lorne sighed, spreading his hands, "I do have a wish, but unfortunately, you can't fulfill it..."
That's right, Lorne had a great aspiration.
He yearned to wander in the surging, gentle ocean, and soar through the soft and sweet clouds... In other words, the so-called "Buried Chest Kill."
Lorne glanced at Arianne's disappointing chest and couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.
It's like a plain field.
Plain to the point of cleansing the four seas and sweeping through the eight wildernesses.
"Well, you really can't," Lorne said with certainty, "Physically, it's impossible because you don't have what it takes."
"Physically? Alright, I understand," Arianne gritted her teeth in frustration, "Since that's the case, there's nothing I can do... So, Lorne, you actually like men..."
"Wait, you misunderstood something," Lorne immediately corrected, "When I mentioned 'physically,' I meant... breasts."
"Breasts?"
Arianne hesitated for a moment, then looked down at her chest.
A few seconds later, she looked up, her face filled with killing intent.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly... It seemed like some kind of forbidden topic," Arianne said with a smirk, cracking her knuckles, "Well then, sugar time is over. It's time for the whip!"
Lorne felt a chill run down his spine and quickly stepped back.
He looked to the other strong person in the room, Helena, one of the "Four Great Generals" of the Dungeon. However, Helena could only shrug helplessly:
"That Holy Maiden is indeed strong. Even I, as I am now, couldn't defeat her. So, good luck to you, Lord Commander. And besides... it's also your own fault for not seizing the opportunity properly."Helena pouted, showing a frustrated expression.
...
Helena and Aze silently left the room.
Then they tightly closed the door.
"Tsk, the Lord really has no ambition," Helena shook her head and sighed, "It's rare to have an opportunity to resolve a personal matter for a lifetime, but he remains indifferent? What is he thinking? Does he really plan to live with zombies and skeletons for the rest of his life?"
At this moment, Helena felt like she and Aze were like burdens.
In fact, she knew in her heart that the reason Lorne stayed in this run-down Dungeon was entirely because of the two of them. Lorne looked no different from an ordinary human and could easily blend into human society, marry, have children, and live a plain and happy life.
But Lorne didn't seem to have any interest in that.
"How about we just switch dungeons, Aze? The world is so big, there must be other dungeons willing to accept us," Helena muttered, "No, wait. Am I actually quite popular now? After all, I have become the 'Dark Night Enchantress'..."
"Kaka, kaka, kaka, kaka," Aze replied.
Meaning: You've said similar things many times before, but deep down, you can't bear to leave, right?
"Hmm," Helena turned her head slightly embarrassedly, "Because only here do I feel 'alive'... It's as if I am still human, not a monster."
"Kaka," Aze chuckled gently.
Although his skeletal face couldn't express any emotions, he was indeed laughing.
... As they spoke, various strange sounds constantly emanated from Lorne's bedroom.
Clanging, crashing, rattling.
The sounds were unsettling.
There were also Lorne's screams.
However, amidst the screams, there was a strange sense of satisfaction.
"Speaking of which, don't you think that Miss Holy Maiden is actually quite compatible with our Lord?" Helena continued, "Although she belongs to the Church, since she has already 'apostatized', she should be considered an evil existence like us, right?"
"Kaka," Aze nodded.
"I have a good impression of her, she has a cute appearance and exceptional strength. I think the Lord actually has a favorable impression of her too, but he just doesn't want to admit it... Hm, it's really frustrating. It seems like I'll have to find ways to support her more in the future..." Helena bit her thumb, lost in thought.
Aze shrugged noncommittally. In his opinion, the progress between those two was quite rapid. As long as things naturally progressed, there was no need for extra assistance.
Aze understood.
As an undead skeleton, he had existed in this world for a long time and was an old bone. He understood many things. The stories of young men and women meeting and getting to know each other had remained largely the same for thousands of years.
Unless something unexpected happened, Lorne and Arianne would eventually come together.
Regardless of who conquered whom.
But more than that, he was concerned about the "Trial Path" that Lorne had just opened... Just thinking about it made Aze tremble involuntarily.
Young monsters like Helena simply didn't understand.
The world was about to undergo a cataclysmic change!
