My front door leads to a comic strip

"Thump."

With a soft click, the door was gently closed.

"She's gone."

In the flickering candlelight, Milieard nodded slightly: "I know."

Her gaze fell on the books in front of her. Her expression was calm, but her trembling eyelashes betrayed the joy in her heart.

"How long do you think it will take me to learn these spells?"

There's too much to learn; there's simply no way to finish it all.

Magic books in the present day are not as convenient as they are in later generations, where you can simply open them and learn the spells.

Even though she considers herself to be quite talented.

also……

Gu Yuan's gentle voice interrupted her turbulent thoughts:

"I don't know, but keep studying hard. This is still the Southern Continent, and there are few traces of demons. There's no need to rush your attack magic for now."

"That's true," Milield nodded emphatically.

It's been over two months since we set off, and apart from that one, Shaton, we've been able to easily deal with all the monsters we've encountered, including Gu Yuan.

Not to mention his physical abilities, which are several times greater than those of ordinary people, his weapon alone is enough to make him invincible in the Southern Continent, and almost no creature can defend against it.

"so……"

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and spoke softly:

"You mean, I should learn transformation magic and food-carrying magic first?"

She took out the two books and carefully flipped through them.

The procedure is not difficult; roughly speaking, it can be learned in three days.

"...Three days...we probably haven't even reached the next city yet."

"By the way, what do you need transformation magic for?"

She looked up at Gu Yuan, her eyes filled with a mischievous curiosity, and inexplicably thought of the strange fetishes of humans.

Although she didn't care about Gu Yuan's intimate actions until now, because it was contact that was forced upon her, once it escalated to the level of personality...

"What are you thinking?" Gu Yuan chuckled, stood up, walked to Miliald, and gently flicked her forehead with his finger.

"Just basic disguise."

He explained,

"Sangfu just said that this magic can be used on others, but it has a limited duration, and unfortunately I don't have any magic power."

"Once used on me, no one will be able to recognize me."

This magic was practically tailor-made for his journey to the Central Continent.

You're bound to make enemies along the way, so you always have to keep something in reserve.

And... thinking about the changes in the real world, a barely perceptible hint of excitement flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.

Milie Alde covered her forehead and let out a soft "hmm," then looked up and exclaimed in realization:

"Is that so? I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you."

"I'll try, but for now..."

She exhaled a few breaths, stood up, and fanned herself with the hem of her clothes, feeling sticky all over.

After taking a few breaths of fresh air, she turned to Gu Yuan and suggested:

"Let's put magic aside for now; we can't learn it in a short time anyway. It's getting late, want to take a bath together?"

"I've been in the dungeon for so many days and haven't had a proper shower yet. I've heard the hot springs in the South are pretty good."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out a big yawn.

The bones made a series of soft "crackling" sounds, as if the fatigue that had been building up for a long time had dissipated with the movement.

"Hot springs, for a bath?"

Gu Yuan was still immersed in preparing for the future, and was thinking about whether to use the magic to launder the gold in Amelika.

Upon hearing this word out of the blue, he suddenly looked up and stared blankly for several seconds.

Does this exist in the historical setting? It seems so.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Japanese anime always features hot springs.

However, in reality, ancient Egypt had this thing five thousand years ago, and China also has a history of more than two thousand five hundred years.

Just as he was about to agree, he changed his mind and suppressed it.

He exhaled, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "It's not mixed bathing, right?"

Obviously, this isn't real Japan, so where would all these mixed bathing customs come from?

Since we can't feast our eyes on it, there seems to be no need to waste time.

But recalling everything that had happened before, he still offered a reminder:

"Don't keep bringing up things like 'Let's go take a bath together.' Don't you elves feel anything when invited like that?"

"How does it feel?"

Seeing her completely clueless expression, Gu Yuan couldn't help but facepalm.

"It's nothing, just don't let people see your body casually."

The incident that happened by the stream last time is still fresh in my mind.

As a normal person, he could not tolerate the woman he wanted to seduce being seen naked by others.

Millie Alde smiled upon hearing this, and then withdrew the step she had just taken.

She paused, her eyes slightly upturned, and said meaningfully:

"Does this 'don't be careless' also include you?"

If nothing unexpected happens, she roughly understands what Gu Yuan means.

Possessiveness...interesting.

She raised her hand to gather a stray strand of hair from one side, her tone casual:

"Don't worry, it won't happen, because so far, you are the first and only one."

"Not everyone can stay by my side, and not everyone will be invited by me."

"I'm not familiar with them."

Although they encountered other humans during their journey, they all kept their distance from the elves.

The elves I encountered all had their own things to do, and being naturally aloof, how could they possibly have the time to spy on me while I was taking a bath?

Gu Yuan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The only one? That sounds so suspicious.

However, her confident tone didn't seem feigned...

That's fine, as long as my body is clean, mental fastidiousness is also fastidiousness.

I let out a breath, and my mood improved somewhat as the knot in my heart was untied.

"I'm leaving now."

Millie Alde noticed the change in Gu Yuan's expression, picked up a stack of clean clothes, turned around and walked out of the room.

Before leaving, she picked up a bra and held it up to her chest a couple of times.

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. Only after her figure completely disappeared behind the door did he return to the real world through the portal between the two worlds.

Previously, a lot of gold ore had been mined and piled up somewhere, but due to a lack of refining agents, the development of the real world had to be temporarily suspended.

But things are different now.

Thinking of the chaotic situation in Amelica and the chemicals that were everywhere there, Gu Yuan clenched his fists, increasingly looking forward to the day when he could rise above the rules.

"It's time to have a few private doctors take my physical measurements. Unlike back home, where all you need to do is demonstrate extraordinary strength..."

"No, as long as they see the possibility of wielding extraordinary power, they will become more obedient than pets."

As for whether or not it can be mastered?

Who knows?

The right to interpret always belongs to oneself.

Gu Yuan looked down at his phone screen, glanced at the flight information, and finally decided on the departure time.

Before that, let's continue training.

Without detailed physical data for reference, I always felt that my training lacked direction, but these primitive days will soon be over.

Hopefully, Millie Alde will master the relevant magic as soon as possible.

He gazed at the night sky outside the window, a sharp glint in his eyes.
