god of tomorrow

I'm not going to guess anymore, or I'll break the law!

Gao Wen stared in shock at the red-haired head that was wriggling around in his arms, and suddenly his enthusiasm waned.

He was saying that if Herwi's biological parents came knocking on their door one day, unaware that Herwi possessed time magic, and learned that their unborn child had been taken advantage of, would they devour her whole?

probably not.

Unable to wait for his biological parents, his enraged adoptive father tore him to pieces and soaked him in alcohol before drinking the resulting liquid.

Just thinking about it made Gao Wen's face turn pale.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next day, Gao Wen walked out of the lord's mansion in a daze, feeling lightheaded and unsteady, as if he hadn't slept well.

I should have known better than to abandon the time magic. I had to insist on it, and now look what's happened, I'm in a complete panic.

Hurry up and go to the Church of Dawn, order a few big musclemen to calm your nerves, do your daily quests, and ask Lindsay for any news.

Qin followed behind Gao Wen and saw that he looked listless, as if he had overworked himself the night before. She shook her head and took a few steps forward to persuade him.

She gave her advice on things like not being obsessed with beauty, living within one's means, and taking care of one's health, not doing things day after day—all advice that was hard to swallow, making her seem like an experienced person with a lot of experience.

Gawain rolled his eyes. It was only because of Qin that he was straightforward and stubborn. If it were someone like Tiffany talking nonsense in front of him, he would take it as mockery and make sure she knew what it meant to be hopelessly infatuated with beauty.

After leaving the Church of Dawn, Gawain felt refreshed, and in contrast, he was surrounded by a dozen or so gray-white figures.

This time, instead of eating at the communal dining hall at Dawn Church, I tried the staff meal at my own church. While petting the cat, I was scolded by Tiffany. In the end, I just left and finished my work for the day.

That's how leaders are; as long as employees work hard, leaders will find a lot of fault to nitpick.

The construction of the Church of the God of Wishes is nearing completion, and it will be fully finished in another half month. For the design of the statue, Gawain adopted Tiffany's initial plan and urged them to speed things up and work overtime to produce the statue.

Gao De raised his hand. It's just an ordinary statue and can't be called a god statue. The Star Domain has a complete processing method that can skip the long process of accumulating faith power and allow the statue to automatically bind with the 'god' the moment it takes shape.

A professional priest, skilled in consecration.

Not all 'gods' are gods. The Starfield also has a god-making plan and has long since figured out a time-saving and labor-saving process.

Gao Wen was overjoyed. After inquiring about the process, he rewarded the cat with several strokes, petting it until it was completely dazed before letting go.

That night.

Gao Wen sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating continuously 24 hours a day, with no one around during the day and the Elemental Siphon Array at night.

Suddenly, darkness...

He pushed open the door and came in.

"..." x2

Gao Wen: No, you don't even try to avoid people anymore?

Lily: Qin knows the truth, so it doesn't matter whether she avoids it or not.

With the highest authority in the magic tower, Lily doesn't have to worry about being caught by Hervy even when hiding in the wardrobe. Night raids no longer require spatial magic; by taking the path through folded space, she can be in her bedroom one second and next to Gawain's bedside the next.

The fact that she was willing to open the door already shows a great deal of respect for Gao Wen's privacy.

Inside, they stared at each other, and Lily, seeing that Gawain insisted on going through the proper procedures, waved her hand, feeling drowsy.

Gao Wen let out a cry and fell down, then got up, put the pillow in a comfortable position, and then let out another cry and fell down again with his eyes closed.

During the last night raid, Gawain was "wake up" by a big jerk. When he retaliated on the spot, both of them knew that he knew I knew he knew. Because exposing the truth would make things difficult and would immediately complicate a simple relationship, they tacitly agreed to remain silent. I still don't know that he knows I know.

Gao Wen was sleeping like a log, completely unaware of anything.

Lily drank too much and blacked out; she can't remember anything.

A night raid is a night raid, and life is life. The daytime doesn't understand the darkness of the night. If both sides maintain a tacit understanding, the relationship won't be complicated.

The two had never discussed the matter before, but they made the decision on their own.

perfect!

After Gawain lay down, Lily stepped forward, took off her shoes, and skillfully mounted him. Without caring whether he had taken a bath or whether there were any special marks left by her sister, she bit down on his neck.

A small sip warms you up from head to toe.

(///?///)

Lily had been craving it these past few days, especially last night. She tossed and turned, unable to concentrate, and spent the whole night reading. Now, her deepest desires were satisfied, and she was humming contentedly as she leaned on Gawain's shoulder.

Like Hervy, she was muttering to herself, muttering something unintelligible.

A moment later, after rewarding herself, Lily looked up with a look of disgust and started looking for a water source. She clicked her tongue a few times, and seeing that Gawain didn't respond at all and was only focused on his cultivation, she gritted her teeth in anger.

They've pulled this stunt again!

Lily raised her hand, but remembering the lesson from last time, she lowered it with dissatisfaction and whispered in Gawain's ear, "Because you have made rapid progress and your strength is increasing day by day, it is difficult for Lily's sleep aid to make you fall into a deep sleep. Your consciousness is in a semi-awake state. You can think and you can open your eyes and speak."

The narration was like that, with an added setting.

Gawain opened his dead fish eyes. Based on Lily's racial characteristics and appearance, if she were placed in the next photography studio, she would definitely be a demon in the transformation stage.

So, not only did the demoness not help him cultivate, she also caused trouble; she was completely unprofessional.

Gawain thought to himself that this was troublesome. Reluctantly, he covered Lily's beautiful legs, which were covered in black stockings, with both hands. Helplessly, he pressed Lily down and kissed her.

Tsk tsk tsk —

Lily's gaze quickly became glazed over, and Gawain also became somewhat impulsive. Their physical actions gradually spiraled out of control, and without their brains' permission, they began to fight on their own.

You smell so good! x2

"Ptooey, ptooey, stop scrubbing me! Say something!"

"say what?"

"Tell me everything that happened on this trip..."

Chapter 234 Lily: You were bitten by a woman outside.

"We gathered a lot of intelligence on this trip, but unfortunately it's useless. The Dark Church has broken up its forces and abandoned its long-established strongholds..."

Gawain sighed. Vampires fear sunlight, and having run into the top-tier Church of Dawn, they were destined to hide in the darkness. If the Church of Darkness dared to openly display its power, he was certain he would reach level 100 on this trip.

That's a real shame.

"Tell me something I don't know."

Lily poked Gawain's lips with her paw and then slapped away the claws on his conscience.

Don't pick at it if you're not going to eat it!

"There are just too many things I don't know..."

Gawain frowned, sorted out his thoughts, and decided to keep it short. He took out three scepters from his system inventory and placed them in a row on the bed.

Lily: Σ(?д?ノ)ノ

Lily stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered. She examined the three scepters closely, then fixed her gaze on Gawain, speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

"You only went out once..."

Is the drop rate really that high?

Lily knew perfectly well the true nature of the Dark Church and the specific purpose of the Ram's Head Scepter. She knew that Richiod's decision to separate the twelve Ram's Head Scepters, keeping some in the Kingdom of Vis and sending others abroad, was not simply to spread the Gates of Hell more widely.

The ram's head scepters were deliberately scattered, with some placed right under his nose, because Richiord was worried that if the twelve ram's head scepters were gathered together, they would send out coordinates to attract their master.

Opening the gates of hell and disrupting the current order of the continent is secondary; it's a matter of going with the flow.

Therefore, for scepters sent abroad, such as the one Connor always carried, the only requirement is that they are safely delivered to their destination. The strength of the holder, or even whether he is a vampire, is irrelevant.

Conversely, the scepters that remained within the territory were all confidants of Richiord, and all possessed considerable strength.

Gawain brought back three scepters, which is no longer a matter of drop rate. His trip was extremely dangerous, and he may have escaped death three times.

Thinking this, Lily lightly touched Gawain's lips, ignoring the claw reaching into her collar: "Where did you steal the scepter from? I told you not to go to dangerous areas, why didn't you listen to me?"

"I found it, I found it by my own skill, I didn't steal it."

Gawain corrected Lily's misuse of words, then asked with a hint of doubt, "Your stiff tone... could it be that you're worried about me?"

Lily paused upon hearing this, her gaze turning hostile as she warned Gawain not to speak recklessly. She said he had crossed a line, and if he didn't nip it in the bud, the two of them would end up having an affair sooner or later.

While you're at it, swat open the claws hidden in my collar.

I told you not to touch me, so don't do it like that! Behave yourself!

After Lily reminded him, Gao Wen realized that he had made a mistake and shouldn't have teased Lily with such words, as it seemed like he was flirting with his sister-in-law.

Tsk tsk tsk —

Gawain wiped the shavings off Lily's face and began to recount in a solemn tone: "Two scepters came from Red River Town, and one from Blue Hole Lake. Their holders were Haze, Alina, and Miroland, respectively..."

Lily's face grew increasingly grim as she listened, and she said angrily, "You knew it was a dangerous area I warned you about, yet you insisted on going. If something happens, how... how am I supposed to face Hervy?"

We can't face Hervy in our current state.

Gao Wen thought to himself, "He's been quick to admit his mistakes, but he's determined not to change. Even if I gave him another chance, he'd still go."

The ram's head scepter can open the gates of hell. Even if it opens randomly and doesn't target the Demon King's bedroom, it still poses a great threat. He might not know this, but if he did, he would never turn a blind eye.

"You have the mind of a high-level mage, but the level of a high-level mage. You're quite responsible."

Lily was furious and forbade Gao Wen from rushing to the front in the future, telling him to think about the family and the three of them before doing anything.

With the most annoyed tone, he spoke the words of deepest concern, which warmed Gawain's heart. He hugged Lily tightly and said, "It's alright. I have a Sun Artifact that I won in a bet, and I always have teammates with me. I'm not bragging, but if it weren't for a magic tower of the cathedral level, even a vampire like Miroland, a great sage, wouldn't last more than a few rounds against me."

"A great sage?!"

Lily was stunned. She didn't know the quality of Ridgeard's minions, only that Blue Hole Lake was dangerous, and she didn't know that Miroland, who was in charge of the area, was a great sage.

Let Gawain explain quickly: how could a mere high-level mage, even with the Sun Artifact that can subdue vampires, possibly win?

Use your brain!

Gao Wen tapped his temple and explained his tactics.

"What! You were bitten by that woman?"

Lily's eyes widened as she glared angrily at Gawain: "Who told you to use this tactic? You're dirty, you're not clean anymore! I'm a germaphobe, stay away from me, and don't ever come looking for me again!"

"What's the big deal..."
