As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"You've been getting pretty close to the student council president lately."

The flying knife hit the target and hit the center of the bull's eye.

Roy, who was eating a snack in the living room, nearly choked. After finally swallowing his mouthful, he pretended to be nonchalant and explained, "What nonsense! I haven't seen her much lately."

This is the truth.

Although he suppressed the demon blood that was backlashing in Lyanna's body, it was only a temporary solution.

Lyanna herself still needs to rest for a few days, so she hasn't appeared recently.

In addition to Lyanna's preference for staying behind the scenes, the frequent need to take leave to rest is another reason why the leader of the Dark Magic faction is not as likely to show up in public as the leaders of other factions.

I don't know how she's been resting these days...

Konya's flying knives continued.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much."

"I don't know her well, what is there to think about?"

"Let me think about it, an excellent senior student with black stockings and long legs?"

"...You think too much." Roy took a sip of coffee guiltily.

"Oh, that's hard to say."

Nia threw the last throwing knife in her hand, then turned around and walked over, hugging Roy from behind.

The elf girl was dressed very casually indoors, wearing only a thin bra on her upper body. Her plump and full body pressed on Roy's head, making him feel pressured in every sense.

Roy's cheeks felt hot: "Don't, don't do this."

Nia chuckled, her face also flushed, but she still hugged the boy in her arms a little tighter, pretending to be frivolous: "I want it."

"No, there's really nothing going on between her and me."

"Men's words are lies, and your words don't count." Nia shouted to the blonde maid busy in the kitchen, "Alice! Is it true that nothing happened between your master and the student council president?!"

Roy was startled when he heard this.

Something is going to happen.

The misunderstanding about his visit to the Student Union Hall had been explained, but his stay at the Dark Mansion a few days ago was a major problem—Alice hadn't asked much about it, so he had forgotten to remind her not to talk nonsense.

Even if Alice didn't exaggerate and just honestly said that she stayed at Lyanna's place for one night, it would be enough to get herself into trouble!

Seeing the little maid in an apron coming over with tea, Roy quickly winked at her.

However, that doll-like little face was always expressionless, making Roy unsure whether she understood what he meant.

"Alice, tell me, while Charlotte and I were away, did your master have any affair with that bad woman?"

“Let me think…”

Alice was silent, seemingly lost in thought.

In just a few seconds, Roy didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the little maid would say something shocking.

Fortunately, Alice did not let him down.

"Nothing." Alice lowered her eyes, her tone a little cold.

"Nothing else, Alice will go prepare dinner."

"Oh."

After Alice went back, Nia lowered her head, a sweet smile on her face, with shallow dimples: "Not bad, you actually didn't covet my body? I have to praise you."

Roy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but smiled and said, "Nonsense, who do you take me for?"

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The little maid who had just entered the kitchen immediately ran to the door in her slippers. When she came back, she had a letter in her hand.

"Master, this looks like a letter from the student council president."

Looking at the light red lip print on the envelope, Roy's smile froze instantly.

Chapter 67 Don’t worry, having a senior is enough

Lyanna is always full of ambiguity, who knows what she will write in the letter!

If Nia misunderstands me, I won’t be able to explain myself even if I have ten mouths!

The moment he realized this, Roy tried to grab the letter, but unexpectedly Nia reacted incredibly quickly and grabbed the envelope in her hand.

"Hey, give it back to me!"

Roy grabbed it with his backhand, but the girl dodged lightly and smiled: "Why should I give it back if I stole it myself?"

Nia shook the letter in her hand, a look of suspicion on her face: "Tsk tsk tsk, look how nervous you are, could this be a love letter?"

"Stop it, there might be something important in the letter... Hey!"

Nia didn't even finish listening to the words and turned around and ran away. Roy had to get up quickly and chase after her.

However, the Sequence 7 [Forest Elf] moved as fast as a rabbit, moving around the not-so-spacious living room with ease. Roy chased it for a long time and almost bumped into the wall, but he didn't even touch a hair of the other party.

Realizing that competing with Nia in speed was foolish, Roy simply slumped back on the sofa and waved his hands in annoyance: "Forget it, forget it, just watch it. I don't want to argue with you."

Nia raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Then I won't be polite!"

Just as the elf girl swiftly opened the envelope and her eyes fell on the letter, Roy suddenly jumped up and launched a sneak attack from behind.

Nia was so shocked that she quickly raised her hand, holding the letter high to prevent him from snatching it. But Roy's target was not the letter. While her middle door was wide open, he hugged her waist.

Now it was Nia's turn to panic: "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, don't you want to read the letter? Go ahead." Roy put his chin on her shoulder and acted like a rogue.

He figured it out. Since he couldn't snatch the letter away, he might as well go after Nia herself.

In case Lyanna really wrote something obscene, she could just say some soft words to beg for mercy into Nia's sensitive ears.

The elf girl was wearing only a bra, with her fair and tender belly exposed. Now she could only let Roy play with her.

Nia's legs were quite voluptuous, her breasts were full and plump, but her waist wasn't bloated at all, and her slender figure was perfectly proportioned. Her abdomen, while defined by well-defined abdominal muscles, wasn't soft to the touch, but it was smooth, elastic, warm, and lustrous, making Roy unable to let go.

Nia gritted her teeth for a while, but finally blushed, sighed softly, acquiesced to the boy's harassment, and began to read the letter.

There was only a short sentence in the letter.

Nia was usually playful, but she would never let things get in the way. After confirming the contents of the letter, she immediately read it out to Roy: "The time has come. Everything we seek will be exhibited at the underground auction tomorrow night. See you tomorrow night in the South District."

The letter did not contain Lyanna's usual teasing words, which made Roy feel relieved. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the panel appeared in front of him.

[Warning! A fateful encounter with the Emperor Snake has been detected, triggering a destiny-defying mission. Every choice you make will alter your fate, so choose carefully!]

[Royal Snake·Defying Fate Progress]: 10%

[Current Fate-Defying Node: Royal Snake]

This time's fate-defying moment surprised Roy a little, but he was not caught off guard either.

In the original novel, it's mentioned that Lyanna went on an adventure outside the academy one weekend in order to advance to Sequence 6. I think this is what's happening now.

If a black magician cannot be promoted to a higher bloodline level as soon as possible, he will be attacked by his bloodline more and more frequently, just like being forced by a sword, and must keep moving forward.

However, every time you cross the bottleneck from low to medium and from medium to high, you need to take the magic potion of faith.

It's not so bad for a noble kid like me, as we have potions at home. As long as we don't drink ourselves to death, we'll be fine.

But the black magician has to find more powerful extraordinary materials that suit him.

To be honest, Lyanna was in a bad state.

[Blood Resonance] can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Although it was not explicitly stated in the original work, Roy could guess that if she failed this time and could not be promoted to Sequence 6, Lyanna would sooner or later be completely demonized and turned into a bloodthirsty monster.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but clench his hands a little tighter.

"Hey..."

The King's Certificate must be obtained, there is no doubt about that. It is actually the most important goal.

At the node that defies fate, just make sure you don’t fall into crisis.

Lyanna is just an outsider, there is no need to worry too much about her.

However, if it doesn't affect my own chances of obtaining the King's Certificate, I can definitely help her if I have the energy to do so...

"Speaking of which, that's about it, right?!"

The trembling coquettishness woke Roy from his thoughts.

He looked down and found that Nia was turning her head and staring at him with tearful eyes, even her ears were red.

Unconsciously, he had pinched and kneaded the girl's white and tender belly in his hands, rubbing it until it turned red. The elf girl's legs, covered in white silk stockings, were trembling slightly, and she was a little unsteady on her feet.

"You've almost touched enough, haven't you?!"

"Sorry sorry."

Roy laughed dryly and then let go.

Nia covered her belly and snorted coldly.

But she quickly looked over and asked with concern, "Are you going to the underground auction?"

"That place is full of mixed people, so... well, I mean, you have to be careful."

"Is it that serious?" Roy raised his eyebrows.

Nia often hangs out at the Adventurer's Guild, chatting with the adventurers. She knows a lot about the Citadel, so it would be nice to ask her more questions.

"Of course not. The good stuff is the stuff that can't be shown on the table. The city's wanted criminals, adventurers, magicians, and even royal children are all eyeing that place." Nia counted on her fingers, her eyes lighting up with every word she spoke.

Nia pinched her chin, lifted her ponytail, and struck a pose: "If there is any conflict, you will be alone and weak, so you will need help, right? I happen to have nothing to do..."

Upon hearing this, Alice came over and looked at Roy with sparkling eyes, like a dog that couldn't wait to go out but had great self-control.

"Forget it. Don't you have a make-up exam tomorrow night?" Roy first rejected Nia.

"Tsk." Nia's face immediately fell and the tips of her ears drooped.

Janetia asked him to take care of Nia, so he naturally couldn't bring Nia into danger.

Especially since the identity of the [Forest Elf] has always been coveted by [Withering of All Things]. Roy has not forgotten that there are still cultists hiding in the Academy.

It’s okay if she goes out on the street normally, but if she really runs into a cult in a place like an underground auction, Nia is afraid that she will be hunted down again.

"Then Alice..."

"Alice, just stay at home and watch over the house."

The little maid was not even in Roy's consideration.

After all, she still has a lot of room to grow, so there's no need to drag her into taking risks, right?

Alice moved her lips, but ultimately remained silent. She hid her disappointment and nodded obediently.

The master's decision was everything, and as a maid, she shouldn't question it.

"Don't worry, we have a senior student with us. Even if we really run into trouble, the two of us are enough to handle it." Roy comforted.

But Nia felt suspicious when she heard this.

I'm worried because you're going out with her!

Chapter 68 Utilization

In front of the Dark Lord, Lyanna bowed humbly and reported the latest developments.

"I am ready. I will join forces with the False King's Blood to take down Hydra's poison sac."

The old man lying in the treatment chamber slowly opened his eyes, casting a darker shadow over the already dim space. Even Lyanna, a Sequence 7 transcendent, couldn't help but frown, shuddering at the terrifying aura.

This aura doesn't sound like that of a dying old man at all.

No one doubts the extraordinary talent of Ike, the leader of the Dark Magic. Some even believe that he will lead the long-fallen Dark Magic School to regain the throne of the Seven Colors School.

Until eighteen years ago, Ike was seriously injured in an adventure and disappeared from everyone's sight.
