For Lily, in addition to the issue of sunk costs, there is now another problem: the inability to face the consequences.

The act continues, and Gao Wen still doesn't know that she knows he doesn't know she's sober; she's acting like a diva, and Gao Wen knows everything...

Just like the saying that you have to fight to the death if you don't want to die, she didn't want to sacrifice too much, so she could only increase the amount of sacrifice, and she couldn't afford to lose even more.

Leave the last bit of chips and go all in on the rest!

Chapter 216: I'm doing my best to play along with your act.

The next day is dawn.

Lily, who hadn't slept all night, first tilted her head and burped, saying that it was another day of warmth in bed. Then, expressionless, she pushed away the pillow that was pressing on her body, tried to fall asleep again, but it was useless. She then walked into the bathroom in a huff.

The whole act must be performed; no steps can be omitted, otherwise Gao Wen will definitely become suspicious.

This is terrible. I didn't know Gawain was awake before, so taking a shower was no problem. Now I regret it so much. Lily was shameless yesterday and has really ruined her life.

Would it kill you to wash it again when you get back? Why are you so obsessed with cleanliness?

Half an hour later, Lily, who had just broken down, managed to compose herself and walked out of the bathroom. Looking at Gawain on the bed wearing only a pair of stockings, she thought to herself that she couldn't bear to look and broke down again.

Her body was clean, but her heart was tainted; she felt she could never face her sister again!

After cleaning up the mess, Lily looked at Gawain, who was clearly awake but soundly asleep, and wished she could give him a slap in the face, his favorite kind of slap.

Yeah, I should have given him a big slap on the butt last night!

I was drunk, so it was perfectly reasonable and logical for me to act crazy!

Lily was filled with regret. She had restrained herself last night. Since there was no going back anyway, she should let loose and give Gawain a good beating while he wasn't resisting.

Although it may not stop the losses, at least some interest can be recovered.

No problem. If my sister doesn't come tonight, I'll arrange it. I'll give Gao Wen a big performance and see if this dead man still dares to stay still.

……

"What books does this guy usually read? His behavior is way too high-class."

After Lily left, Gao Wen sat up with a dark expression, took off the clothes he had just put on, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

He hid the stockings and underwear from the beginning; initially, his motives were somewhat impure, but later he simply wanted to have some fun. He created a fictitious persona for the little black witch to prevent her from escaping reality and to make her clearly recognize her 'true face'.

Unexpectedly, he remained conservative.

Even a pervert like him would find Lily's actions last night perverted.

"There's no time like the present, let's go check out Lily's library today..."

Gao Wen stepped out of the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, and thought, "Learning has no end, the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless, and only with humility can one make progress." He realized that although he couldn't use some of the links—or rather, some of the knowledge—he could certainly use them to fill the AI ​​database.

Today, Gawain followed the same routine: wrestling at the Dawn Church in the morning to complete his daily tasks, having lunch at the communal restaurant, and then heading to the Church of the God of Wishes to pet the cats.

With his physical attributes, facing the Dawn Church's muscle-bound tyrant, even a high-level mage of the same realm, would be a case of overwhelming him.

Each wrestling match left behind a dozen or so gray-white figures, causing deep psychological trauma to the muscular men and making everyone in the barracks lose confidence.

Gawain planned to study in the library, cuddled the kitten for a while, completed his daily reward, and returned to the lord's manor at 2 p.m.

Instead of going to the office, I went straight to the backyard.

Compared to the complex structure and strict standards of the church, the construction of the Lord's Mansion Magic Tower main building is much simpler, which is why it has taken the lead and has now completed the magic circle debugging and entered the final stage.

Only a few craftsmen were left to do the finishing touches on the brick wall surface, which is what is known as "dawdling."

Gawain arrived at the second-floor library, where dozens of tall bookshelves were neatly arranged, with the collection mainly focused on potion-making. Some of the classics were also available in the Royal Magic University's library and were considered mainstream textbooks, while a considerable number of scrolls and manuals were extremely obscure, likely unknown even to masters like Tiffany.

According to Hervy, Lily became obsessed with potions in order to study how to break the seal. She later found a divine medicine that could speed up the process of breaking the seal.

The drawback is that the medicine is extremely potent, and drinking too much can easily cause heatstroke; it is also only suitable for Lily.

"The issue now isn't whether we get heatstroke or not, but whether the progress bar or the food intake bar is moving faster..."

Gao Wen didn't mind at all, and collected Lily's books one by one, and even her supermarket shopping spree, and moved them all into his AI database.

Emperor Zhaolie of Han was not found.

He searched around and activated the highest level of access, but could not find the secret compartment containing the classical art books.

That makes sense. Someone as self-conscious as Lily wouldn't leave a pornographic book in a public place. What if someone with bad intentions like Dawn found it and started yelling at her? Where would Lily's face be then? Would she even be able to face anyone anymore?

"It's all Dawn's fault. If it weren't for guarding against him, I would have learned something today."

Gao Wen grumbled as he walked out of the library, but as soon as he reached the door, a cold face blocked his way.

Lily.

After confirming that Gawain was pretending to be asleep, Lily could no longer face him with a normal attitude. Not knowing what expression to make, she simply put on a deadpan face.

"Lily, you look so tired today. Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Call me Lord!"

"You said you were family, and called her Lily..."

"Call me Lord!"

"..." x2

(??_?)(`へ?≠)

So arrogant! I'll teach you a lesson tonight! x2

"What are you doing in the library? When did you start liking reading?" Lily walked around Gawain and found a desk to sit down.

"I've always loved reading. My lord doesn't care about his knights and only thinks that way because he has a stereotype of me," Gawain muttered.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm thirsty, go make me a pot of black tea."

"I'm going to find Becky..."

I'm thirsty!

"Go, go, stop shouting."

Gao Wen muttered to himself as he turned around, loudly plotting that he would spit in the red tea later.

Who are you trying to scare? It's not like I haven't drunk it before!

Lily rolled her eyes at Gawain's retreating figure, and after venting her frustration, she realized something was wrong. She felt empty inside, as if she had lost something.

It might be a matter of moral integrity!

Ten minutes later, Gawain came in carrying a pot of black tea and two teacups. Seeing Lily acting as if she was pouring tea for her lord, he smiled and filled one of her cups.

"You're being so obedient, you didn't spit in it, did you?" Lily asked suspiciously as she took the tea.

"How could that be? I was just saying..."

I doubt you'd dare do that in broad daylight!

Lily thought to herself, her mood worsening once again.

She took a deep breath, blew out cool air, and took a small sip.

"I added boogers," Gao Wen continued, panting heavily.

"..."

Lily's hand holding the teacup sank slightly, but she didn't spray the tea two meters away. She glanced at Gao Wen with a slight upward gaze, then slowly sipped her tea, unaffected by the outside world.

Gawain looked disappointed, lamenting that he lacked the skill to do it as effortlessly as Hervy, who could make Lily spray as far as she wanted with just a few words.

I still need to practice, and strive to become a master as soon as possible.

"Why are you holding two teacups? Is there something you want to say to me?"

Lily put down her teacup and commented that the skill was acceptable, but still needed improvement; however, this level was not enough to satisfy her.

What could we possibly have to say to each other? We've already talked it all out last night...

Oh right, we made plans last night!

Gawain plopped down opposite Lily, took out his thermos, unscrewed the cap, poured half a cup of herbal tea, and then placed the ram's head scepter on the desk.

"What is this walking stick? Where did you get it?"

Lily spoke with surprise, picked up the scepter and twirled it slightly, drawing out half of a rapier. Her tone was even more astonished: "It's actually a weapon. Such exquisite craftsmanship. It must have a remarkable history."

“I just went out to patrol the territory and found it under a crooked tree. It didn’t seem like an ordinary item, so I asked the lord about it. Maybe you know something about it,” Gawain said solemnly.

Hey, why are you such a good actor? x2

The two of them inwardly despised each other, but wisely, because of Hervy's presence, they didn't bring it up and continued to play dumb.

Gawain said that he could play dumb, and he would do his best to cooperate with Gawain's performance, but Gawain could not treat him as a fool. According to the agreement made last night, Lily should tell him how to seal the Ram's Head Scepter.

There was no agreement whatsoever. If the consequences hadn't been so severe, I would have snatched it back then!

Lily confirmed that the ram's head scepter was genuine, and put it away in her private space for safekeeping. If Gawain insisted on a method of sealing it, keeping it by her side would be the best way to seal it.

"I found it, I was here first!"

Gawain slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Lily.

"So what if you came first? I am the lord. According to the laws of the country, I have the right to use and own all the personnel and resources of Thousand Mountains Fortress." Lily snorted.

This guy really doesn't treat Gao Wen like an outsider; he's figured out how to be unreasonable without any instruction.

Your Excellency has quite the airs of a high official. Why don't you mention that you also have the right of first night within your territory?

Just as Gao Wen was about to spit in Lily's face, the phone rang. He paused for a moment, then saw that the caller was Lindsay and answered the phone without hesitation.

"We finally have news from you. I thought your undercover mission failed and you were killed by the Dark Church."

"I know you're a professional, but those who drown are often the ones who can swim..."

Seeing Lily looking at him with curiosity, Gawain gave her a disdainful look and turned back to continue his call with Lindsay: "What? You've been assigned a mission, a mission with a high chance of death, extremely dangerous, and you're recruiting powerful warriors?"

"Gawain, who are you talking to?"

Lily leaned forward and tugged at Gawain's arm, only to receive a handsome back of his head in return, which made her grind her teeth in anger.

Undeterred, he moved closer to Gao Wen, tilting his head to try and hear what was happening on the other side.
