My front door leads to a comic strip

"Weapons?" Miliald blinked, paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

"I need this. Did you even consider that?"

She had originally planned to buy one herself if Gu Yuan forgot.

In any case, any sharp blade can be used for cutting magic.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course, I would never neglect the safety of my companions."

He stood up briskly, patted his clothes, and said, "Wait for me."

After leaving the room and entering the cleaning room, Gu Yuan walked in ten seconds later, carrying a long metal rod.

The long staff is entirely silver-white, with sharpened edges at both the top and bottom, and is made of titanium alloy.

Previous tests have shown that titanium alloy is one of the few materials capable of conducting magic.

It is sturdy, sharp, and lightweight, so that even a girl with no strength can use it.

Millie Alde stared at the long stick, momentarily lost in thought.

She was already used to Gu Yuan's amazing ability to pull things out at will, so she breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and took it, and sincerely exclaimed:

"Thanks."

It feels exceptionally light and cool to the touch, as if it were not steel, but a hollow piece of sandalwood.

She slightly twisted her wrist, weighed it in her palm, and then swung it forward with a flourish—

Swish!

A silver arc swept past, and the wooden table in front of him, like a fragile sheet of paper, silently snapped in two.

"Very good." A hint of approval flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes as he nodded.

"With the Slicing Magic, combined with elemental magic, I believe you'll be able to handle even demons with ease."

After saying that, he sat back down on the bed…

But after a pause, she changed her mind and naturally sat down next to Miliald.

His gaze swept over the wooden table broken in two on the ground, and he continued speaking:

"Now you basically have no weaknesses, and I'm almost mastering sword energy as well. Then we'll be male and female..."

"Cough cough..." Gu Yuan suddenly coughed twice, momentarily choked, unable to finish the sentence that was about to come out.

His intention was to say that neither of them would hold the other back because of their weaknesses.

Milie Alde snapped out of her daze, raising an eyebrow... Male and female what?

Although the two words seemed to carry a strange ambiguity, I was still genuinely happy about Gu Yuan's impending mastery of sword energy.

Then, I thought to myself, I have to return the favor. What does he like?

Unwilling to waste her energy on wild guesses, she looked directly at Gu Yuan, her tone exceptionally serious:

"Gu Yuan, tell me what you want. I can't take this weapon for nothing."

It's obviously very expensive to make; if that dwarf craftsman saw it, he'd probably be amazed for a long time.

Gu Yuan smiled, refraining from empty platitudes about being detached from worldly desires, for he always acted with a clear purpose, and spoke directly:

"What I want is actually very simple. First, answer me one question, Milield: do you still consider me...?"

He vividly remembered the baby's previous description and wanted to clear his name.

As he finished speaking, Millie Alde was slightly speechless, gently shaking her head, a soft light appearing in her eyes:

"Of course not, I thought it was some kind of problem. You're still troubled by this?"

She vaguely understood what Gu Yuan truly wanted.

Memories of the past surfaced one by one, and she reached out to tuck her stray silver hair behind her ear.

After exhaling a warm breath, he leaned forward slightly, inch by inch, getting closer to her.

……

After a long while, the soft touch of lips left his forehead.

Millie Alder stood up, walked towards the door, her gaze shifting slightly, her tone casual:

That's my answer. I hope you're satisfied.

"I'll go out first to pay for the table, and then we can talk about the demons."

"Bang."

The door was gently closed. Gu Yuan raised his hand in a daze and wiped his forehead, which still seemed to have a trace of warmth.

No, they kissed already?

Even though it was just a kiss on the forehead, it still felt like it all happened a little too suddenly.

Fortunately, he knew that Miliald wasn't the kind of elf who would do anything...

Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a gift, it has never disappointed in terms of increasing goodwill."

He didn't think he could completely win over Milieald in just six months, but the progress had far exceeded his expectations.

In reality, pursuing someone may take several years and still not yield results.

Gu Yuan stood up and clenched his fist: "Keep up the good work. We've already gotten rid of the baby description."

"Next..." He stretched, and his joints cracked a series of crisp sounds.

A bright future seems within reach. Looking back on these past few days, Gu Yuan feels that his efforts have not been in vain.

He sat back on the bed, took out a cloth bag, took out the fallen leaves inside, took a deep breath, and planned to continue his study of battle qi.

After all, one must not lose one's life before realizing one's dream.

Adjusting my breathing calmed my mind, and white marks appeared on the iron ball.

After Milield returned to her room, the two began to discuss the weaknesses of the demon race.

Frankly, they didn't reach any groundbreaking conclusions, because Gu Yuan himself was unaware of the relevant details, as they weren't mentioned at all in the original work.

But this also served as a wake-up call for him.

There are simply too many things that are unclear, and we cannot generalize from limited information to infer the habits of all demons.

And so, time slipped away unnoticed, and night fell.

Millie Alde was sitting on the bed, playing with the metal wand with great interest, when she suddenly heard Gu Yuan shout excitedly:

"It's done!"

Looking up, he saw a stone about thirty centimeters in size in front of him that had somehow split into two even halves, revealing a white core.

A gruesome slash mark was clearly visible on the floor not far away, resembling the tear left by a beast's claws.

"Congratulations." A hint of surprise flashed in Millie Alde's eyes, and she smiled slightly.

Even someone who doesn't know the details can tell what's going on here.

Gu Yuan used the fighting spirit generated from the leaves to cut through the stone and cleave the ground.

He accomplished in just two months what would normally take a year of arduous practice to achieve.

He truly deserves the title of genius.

Gu Yuan clenched his fist.

"From now on, I am also a noble 'mage'. Battle aura is my mana bar. As long as the mana bar is not empty, I can unleash battle aura infinitely."

"Although its power is still relatively weak at the moment, it doesn't matter, it's only been two months..."

"If only I had half the strength of Simmel."

"When the time comes, my offense, defense, speed, and endurance will be unstoppable, and even the army will be unable to do anything to me."

Gu Yuan seemed to be able to see that bright and glorious future.

After all, the strength of battle aura is also linked to physical defense; the dwarf Azer was able to withstand the impact of freefall from a height of thousands of meters.

Now...maybe we can withstand rifle bullets?

He pondered to himself, his chest filled with a burning anticipation.
