My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

She had long, dazzling silver-white hair, wore a magnificent white mage's robe on her upper body, long leather gloves on her arms, and long black stockings on her legs. She sat leisurely on a recliner, resting. Her feet were clad only in breathable sandals, revealing her delicate little toes. Her skin was snow-white and flawless, without wrinkles or creases, and her toes were a soft pink, making her look like an adorable work of art.

Anyone who sees her can't help but want to say "Wow!"

With distinct facial features and an outstanding appearance, she possessed a strong allure. Her red eyes and long pink ears revealed her non-human identity, yet her overall demeanor reminded Li Wei of an old friend.

"Mr. Merlin" is the same Mr. Merlin who, when he needed to be tied to a cross and dragged to a cave in the Amazon that no detector could find, cried out "Help!" which might have been the truth.

This new visitor was the same; he seemed like a very skilled conman.

"Um..." In any case, it's best to greet the host as a guest.

Just as Li Wei was about to introduce himself, the seemingly serious older sister suddenly sprang to life, her eyes gleaming. She sprinted and stumbled all the way to the boy, not even noticing that her shoes had flown off. She grabbed his hand and looked him up and down as if he were a refugee looking at braised pork, as if she wanted to devour him whole.

"Hello young man, my name is Mary. You may not have heard of me, but that's okay. Feelings develop over time. You'll know everything as we spend more time together."

I feel a connection of fate between us; we're destined to be together. By the way, would you like to learn magic? I'll teach you!

The first lesson is "The Pink Book"... By the way, you look like an Asian. Are you interested in Buddhism?

I can do that too. Let's learn Joyful Zen first, starting with the "Great Buddha Staff of the Tathagata"!

She stood there, her bare, tender feet stomping on the floor, making strange "hehehe~" lewd laughs, while desperately rubbing against Li Wei to take advantage of him. Seeing the boy's motionless expression, she revealed a smug smile.

Tsk tsk, are you stunned by my beauty? What an innocent young man.

This handsome young man, whether it's his appearance, temperament, personality, or even the size of his [censored], perfectly matches my aesthetic standards. He's simply a gift from a fairy!

—Wait, the Lady of the Lake and I have a really bad relationship… Oh well, whatever, I've already made a profit.

Next, the child will be dyed with his own colors, becoming someone who can't survive without his [beep], and whose pleasant life of calling him "master" while [beep—] is about to begin~

The cheerful white-haired older sister had already rehearsed 360 different scenarios in her mind. I'll skip the details, but the ending was always the same: she and the boy lived happily ever after, and she made him her [beep], and the two of them lived happily ever after.

However, Li Wei merely glanced at the other person with curiosity and then asked a question: "Excuse me, are you Merlin?"

"I'm not Merlin, but you can use me as Merlin if you want, I can do anything~" The white-haired big sister revealed a Super Sword Art Online expression.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Li Wei nodded, and runes shone brightly, revealing a gleaming sword of light in his hand.

"Um... our first physical encounter shouldn't require such stimulating props, right..." The older sister was a little scared, yet also somewhat expectant, her face flushed, as if she was thinking of some kind of restricted and stimulating scene that a child would find irresistible.

"I promised someone that if I saw Merlin, I would give him a good stab."

Li Wei raised his sword high, his body surging with magical power: "Since you're also Merlin, then take this first!"

A powerful beam of light shot out from his hand and slammed straight into Mary's face.

Instantly, the older sister who had seemed so "I was so loud" suddenly started making "Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho" sounds.

Chapter 9 Atelier Magical Girl Merry

Five minutes later, Li Wei took the initiative and sat in the spot where the older sister had been lying, while the human-shaped piece of trash not far away sighed.

If someone with good eyesight were to examine it closely, they could barely conclude from the remaining clothes and attire that this person was probably the white-haired older sister from before.

Why, why is this happening?

If possible, Livy would prefer to have someone like Mr. Laozi, whom even Confucius treated as a teacher and praised as a dragon who could ascend to heaven and descend to earth, or someone from the Hundred Schools of Thought who were active around the world at the same time, including philosophers from ancient Greece and genius princes from ancient India.

If you're looking for someone less suitable, someone who can exchange medical knowledge would also be helpful. Whether it's Asclepius, Hippocrates, Sun Simiao, or even Dr. Bian's brother, they would all be good choices.

If all else fails, great heroes from mythology who excel in martial arts and magic will also work.

But why is it this perverted older sister who enters my dream?

If Master represents his upright and virtuous character, Dr. Bian represents his compassionate heart as a healer, Scáthach and Skadi represent his warlike desires, and "Mr. Merlin" represents his cunning side.

So what does this Mary represent? Her own [beep] desires?

Even if I am indeed better in that area, able to make Saeko wake up and faint every night, I shouldn't be matched with a sow like this, right?

"Hehehe, really, we're having such exciting fun right from the start, I can hardly take it~"

The beam cannon, powerful enough to instantly kill many low- to mid-level Calamities or even wipe out a multi-headed wyvern, had little effect on Melly.

Aside from being blackened by the smoke, there didn't seem to be a single wound on her.

That's right, this is a dream, just like the invincible comedic character, the injuries in the dream naturally won't kill her.

"But that's fine too, kid. You know this ironclad rule? Anyone who gets hit by a beam cannon will become part of that person's harem~"

The white-haired older sister smiled and spouted a bunch of nonsense. She conjured up another recliner out of thin air, sat down next to the boy, and even had a bottle of drink in her hand.

Judging by his appearance alone, he is actually quite dignified, but his personality is really hard to accept.

"What kind of twisted logic is this?" the boy exclaimed, unable to accept it.

"Don't people know this rule anymore? It's like the ironclad rule that you have to transform before a battle, and the senior with the spiral twin tails will definitely turn around!" While saying this, Mary secretly stretched out her beautifully shaped white legs and secretly rubbed against Levi's calves to take advantage of him.

"I've never heard of such a thing before." Li Wei shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.

"That means your knowledge of magical girls is still too superficial."

"What does this have to do with me? I'm not a magical girl!"

“But I am!” Meryl retorted, her voice both defiant and assertive.

"You? A magical girl?"

Li Wei looked Meryl up and down, imagining the scene where this girl was holding a plastic-looking magic wand, performing a series of movements that looked like a cute dance to a loud melody—and even floating naked in the middle, though protected by holy light—before transforming. A chill ran down his spine for no reason.

I'm afraid only a hopeless loser who's hopelessly addicted to virtual female streamers, got the job through connections, and only knows how to eat cakes and slack off would like this.

A magical girl should look just like Vivian!

"Anyway, I don't care whether you're a magical girl or not, as long as you are, that's fine."

The boy sighed and regained his composure.

As a disciple of the Master, I must never be impolite, even if the other party is a nymphomaniac woman whose mind is full of thoughts of having sex with me.

"In short, my name is Li Wei, I am sixteen years old, and I am a student..."

Li Wei briefly introduced himself and ignored Meryl's pointless questions about her marital status and whether she minded him joining their threesome, instead asking, "Why are you in my dream?"

“I don’t know either, but I felt it was fate. It must be a special destiny that brought us together. Let’s accept it, let’s start with the most traditional missionary position…”

Mary originally wanted to continue, but when she saw Levi bring out the Sword of Light again, she immediately stopped and became much more obedient.

Even though I don't die in my dreams, getting slashed still hurts a lot.

"What goes around comes around, and vice versa. Every time a visitor comes to my dream, they're a good teacher who can teach me. Maybe if it happens too often, I'll arrange for a good-for-nothing to stabilize the odds." The boy comforted himself, slightly disappointed.

"I'm not a loser, young man! I'm one of the most powerful magicians in the world!" Mary slapped her chest loudly, causing a wave of waves to surge.

"Although I sensed the presence of other mages on you... you used runes just now, right? That means you're a mage from Norse mythology. But that's alright, I can teach you alchemy!"

"Alchemy?" Li Wei raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

"That's right, it's alchemy."

As if she had finally found her niche, Sister Mei grabbed the boy's hand and said in a very serious tone, "You mentioned when you introduced yourself that you had studied medicine, right? With my alchemical potions, I guarantee that with both methods combined, you can cure any disease."

Even if it doesn't cure illnesses, learning to make some props is quite nice. My sister has a lot of useful gadgets; we'll introduce them to you in bed later.

"..." Li Wei fell into deep thought.

Ignoring the part where he teases me at the end, what this guy says makes sense.

Previously, he was barely even a novice in alchemy. Although he had learned prop-making from Skadi, Skadi often had to compete with Scáthach for time to appear, and she couldn't even win—just like a PE teacher in China can't compete with a math teacher.

The limited time available for classes was mainly spent learning magic.

Having this opportunity to learn alchemy is indeed a rare one.

“Okay, I want to learn.” The boy readily agreed.

"Great!"

Despite being in the role of a teacher imparting skills, he was more excited than the boy in the student's position.

Go for it, Mary! This handsome young man is totally your type. You have to hold onto him tightly, make him a hopeless case who can't live without you, and then you can fly away together in blissful harmony, hehehe~

Looking at the white-haired sow with a lewd smile, lost in her fantasies, Li Wei suddenly had the urge to wield the Sword of Light and give her a good whack in the head.

He's unsure whether his judgment and decision were correct.

Chapter 10: Obtaining the Knight's Reward

Inside Norwich Arena, amidst cheers from the crowd, Levi effortlessly defeated his opponent, securing his fifty-first victory.

Neither the Fang Clan, skilled in battle, nor the monsters that dominate the wilderness, nor the experts from other regions who came to challenge him, could stop his winning streak.

Some viewers felt that the boy's strength was already comparable to that of the clan leader, and that seeing such a powerful figure fight was worth the price of admission.

But if they knew that Li Wei would be leaving soon, they would probably feel sad and reluctant to part with him.

Amidst cheers from the crowd, Li Wei, as always, headed down the corridor to return to his room. But this time, a squad of warriors clad in dark green heavy armor and wearing horse-shaped helmets blocked his path.

They are Queen Morgan's personal guard.

"You must be the gladiator who stole the show just now. Come with us." The captain, who was leading the group, looked at the young man with a hint of envy in his voice: "His Majesty wishes to see you."

The one they call Your Majesty must be Queen Morgan. What does she want with me?

However, it seemed that the other party had no desire to explain, so Li Wei wisely refrained from asking further questions.

"May I take a shower and change my clothes first?" I'm still sweaty, and it would be impolite to go to the meeting like this.

"No need, this will suffice. Don't keep His Majesty waiting too long."

"In that case, please lead the way," the boy said nonchalantly.

Led by the Imperial Guards, Li Wei was surrounded and walked straight into the distance. All the fairies who passed by, upon seeing this group of heavily armored warriors, lowered their heads and gave way as if they had discovered something unbearable, creating an effect comparable to a street-cleaning tiger, making everyone feel uneasy.

Along the way, Levi pondered Morgan's purpose in seeking him out.

It shouldn't be that they discovered their human identity. Although humans have a low status in the fairy kingdom, it shouldn't warrant such a big fuss.

In any case, if you find something is wrong, leave immediately. I just don't know if it will implicate Spriggan and Vivian.

After walking for a short time, the heavily armored warriors led the boy to a magnificent palace. After exchanging orders with the guards at the gate, beautiful maids took over and led the way, guiding Li Wei to continue forward.

After navigating several bends, Li Wei finally met the person who had summoned him in a garden filled with various plants.

Using the word "saw" is not accurate, because the place where Queen Morgan sat was shrouded in exquisite curtains, and even Livy could only vaguely see blurry figures, and could not see the people inside at all.

“Great, I haven’t seen someone as interesting as you in a long time.”

The Queen's voice was clear and cool, like an icy spring flowing from a snow-capped mountain, which invigorated the spirit: "Do not be shy, please take a seat."

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty."

Li Wei felt that Morgan was not quite the same as the image described in the book; at least when communicating with someone like himself, he was quite friendly.

Immediately, a maid brought a chair, allowing the boy to sit at a distance that was not too far from the Queen, but not close enough to see her face clearly or to suddenly attack her.

“Vivian mentioned you to me, praising you highly, saying you are a person of great knowledge and wisdom.”

The Queen's voice sounded somewhat cheerful; it was unclear what made her happy speaking to him while veiled by the curtains.

"Thank you for your kind words, she's too kind." The young man was slightly flattered.

“Vivian would never lie to me. I have never seen her praise anyone like this before.”

Her Majesty the Queen's tone became even more cheerful, and Li Wei became even more confused: "You are a very talented person. Since she is willing to recommend you, then I have decided to appoint you as a Grand Knight and have you follow Vivian."

After he finished speaking, a guard immediately came to the boy with a Grand Knight's Medal.

Li Wei had once seen in a history book the Grand Knight's Medal unearthed from the ruins of King Arthur's palace, which bore at least 90% similarity to the one from the Fairy Kingdom. If the two served the same purpose, then the medal represented a significant meaning.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot accept your offer."

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Wei quickly recovered and said, "I prefer a life of freedom and have no interest in official positions. Moreover, I have never rendered any service to the country, and it would be against the law to receive rewards so easily. I hope you will rescind your decision."

Those around him showed expressions of bewildered horror upon hearing Li Wei's words.

Li Wei suddenly remembered that, according to various books, Queen Morgan was a person of absolute authority. Anyone who opposed her would be forcefully suppressed. She was known for her ability to issue orders with a mere gesture, and to kill with a clenched fist.

Will my direct refusal make her angry?

But he didn't have time to follow Morgan into officialdom, nor could he stay by the side of the literary young woman Vivian. Many people in Tokyo were waiting for him; he needed to find a way back quickly and couldn't waste his time in this lap of luxury.
